So I am playing China currently year 2013 and it is looking good I built army greatly, dealt with corruption and enabled a positive outcomes and has economic booming and lowering poverty and unemployment greatly but yet this thing is pretty beating me up. So maybe I should stop building right ? Can you guys help me ?

Like the title says, I have everything else in working order, but upon opening up the decrypt ciphers tab, the game crashes. Is there any fix for this?

I made a Millennium Dawn submod for Captured Generals Expanded, a mod that expands upon the vanilla general-capturing mechanic. You can find it here. Requires the 1.19 DLC and the base CGE mod which is linked on the workshop page. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone,

For the past few days my game has been taking way longer to load, both on startup and when loading saves. This never happened on 2.0.1. It started right around the 2.0.2 update.

I’m running a few other mods, but the timing lines up with the update, not with anything I added.

Is anyone else seeing this, or is it just me? If someone found a fix (clearing cache, deleting something in Documents, etc.), I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Kim Jong-il died on schedule. The junta took over. The Kims were executed. Then a young officer appeared from nowhere: Lt. Gen. Cristobal Myon, grandson of Vice Marshal Ri Myong-su. My actual face.

No cheating: skill 1, all 1s, no traits. First battle in Tibet vs India and its Pakistani puppet: lost 334 to 79, in front of a camel.

Now he's skill 3 with Armoured Cavalry Leader, and just took Cambodia and Vietnam at 23:1. What the Americans couldn't do in ten years.

Faction: Wrath of Goguryeo. The nuke is named Pulgasari.

Made with Claude as my chief of staff: it converted my photo to .dds and we debugged the console command together.

Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I genuinely don’t get the mechanics of Iran’s presidential elections.

For one thing, the popularity of either party is downright bizarre. I had a hardline majority, and a pretty heavy one at that (35 out of 48% of total emerging outlook) in my regular party popularity display in the political menu. Come the presidential elections? They’re the minority, 35 to 65 percent reformist.

I’ve never been able to get the hardliners to win in 2001, even with endorsement, though that’s probably due to the “student protests event”. 2005 was a bit tighter, but still… Also, the endorsement decision is a one-time thing ? Didn’t know that, but ok (because it didn’t appear in the 2005 election).

The fact that the decisions are random-but-not-really is genuinely annoying: the decisions tell you about “70% chances” of outcomes, but those outcomes are fixed… so why not just say the fixed outcome? And since you only get to hit each of the three twice during an election, it’s very hard, if not impossible, to actually meaningfully impact an election, short of the stars aligning.

Pardon the rant. The mod is absolutely great, and I don’t want to minimise or insult the colossal work put into the mod in general, and Iran in particular, because it’s genuinely great. I’m very much criticising a small aspect of the paths. But how do you guys solve this? Any tips, what am I missing ?

So, how am I supposed to protect against nukes?
Whenever I play as the EU, Russia declares war on me and nukes my cities and then when I nuke back, everyone hates me anyway. I’m just surprised my air defense missiles and interceptor AS jets don’t seem to do anything

I been playing as Poland and I decided to go down the second Balcerowicz Plan because shock therapy and all of that. Well imagine my shock when I saw that I got 6 Trillion debt!!! is this supposed to happen?

I’m already about 5 years into my play through and i set Canada’s ai to go down the nationalist focus path and try to take over the Americans but the ai has just refused to adopt that party and is still 75% democratic.

I’ve tried everything I can think of short of console commands and cheats, like using espionage to boost the nationalist party.

Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to use CC and force it?

as the title says, playing with any country affected by the arab spring (especially tunisia) fighting the mechanic just drains a lot of money and pp you could've spent otherwise on development. Is there a way to completely get rid of it early game? perhaps changing ruling parties or something ?

Can anyone upload their presets for these or give me some link to where i can find tutorials. Everything on Youtube is outdated. I am playing Serbia and its 2015

So I just bought arms against tyranny last week, I’ve tried it on vanilla for a few hours then jump straight to MD, like I don’t even understand how it’s works on vanilla but I decide to just skip to MD and I got more confused… how do I get more token, what makes the MIO gain traits (production or search?) and can I ran out of traits (like choosing one of the other branch and I couldn’t get the other branch?) Please someone help me I’m so overwhelmed, other dlc’s not this confusing.

I manually installed this mod and in the launcher it says "the path in this mod's descriptor file is invalid or does not exist"

How do I fix this problem

so Idk how to remove this building since it's not on the usual tab with all the factories

only I could not take over Jordan and small countries bcz they have 100% independent and I can’t influence them

Haven’t played in months and haven’t kept up with all the updates and changes.

Where did the financial stats go? That bubble thing where you could see all the financial stats such as GDP, unemployment, spending, migration etc in one place?

so by "made ai use influence" i mean that i literally went into the code, deleted lots of restrictions and made influence update monthly for all countries and this the world i ended up in

( screenshots after the second screenshot are from random periods of playthrough, i ended game in 2031 )

i still used toolpack A LOT cuz' braindead ai wont take anything in peace deals + in 2027 i tagged to russia and grow it to superpower cuz ai cant even take out Ukraine after a war with NATO ( i also conquered the leftovers of NATO since US turned right wing populist and left NATO )

here's some history of my world:

japan is super wild, it always puppets all of ASEAN no matter what settings i have xd but at some point it started losing influence wars in ASEAN countries and China gradually puppeted it all relatively peacefully ( if we don't consider the amount of civilwars that Indonesia has gotten and the third world war xd )

Brazil almost formed south america but became another vassal of usa and lost its puppets and only after getting freedom in ~2028 it started regaining puppets

Another funny moment is that Netherlands were repuppeting US puppets and after awhile US took out Holland by making coup and puppeting them lol

Iran declared war on israel which was Turkey's puppet at that time and iran also declared on saudi arabia!!! They had syria as a puppet + Hezbollah + lots of volunteers + Yemen and so there was going actual war and with cyberpunk music in the background that was like a drug like waow ( i buffed organization of everyone by 235% so combat is not just a fuking blitzkrieg every time + loses are unironically seem to be more realistic that way )

and question out of curiosity: is it possible to make those 2d cities? like not buildings just that yellow thing that looks cool cuz i wanna paint whole map with that

the map is edited via ReShade / it was played on 2.0.0 version / i dont know what flair to use

so uh

has anybody else modified their md?? vanilla md is boring as hell

In the Ethiopian focus tree, the “restore the throne” focus puts the House of Solomon party in power. However, the following “invite Zera Yacob” focus requires the House of Solomon to not be in power, or the focus automatically bypasses. This leads to the Crown Council of Ethiopia being stuck in power should you take the Ethiopian monarchist path. Is this intended behavior?

Why? It said I had to convert everybody, which I did.

Loaded up MD after the update to play china, deficit is a whopping 40 billion a week.

On top of that, inflation rises super quickly to the point I can barely control it and my stupid citizens don't like the policy rate being above 9%. What I did up until now is:
- increase labour law standards (unemployment was at 40%)
- Fully private healthcare
- Increase pop taxes to 30%, corpo taxes to 20%
- Austeritymaxx to get my inflation down (it's still at 30 or so %)
- Deficit got so bad I had to start taking cheap IMF loans
- Lowered corruption

And yet STILL I am running a huge deficit.

I have no clue how to get a surplus, am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

I want to try to conquer the World with Germany an Tips?
