Someone should make a mod where you can see river crossings. EU4 has a mapmode built in where every province is colour-coded by terrain type and has thick blue borders for rivers. The province screen doesn't even describe rivers.

I'm working on a Total Conversion based on the CK2 Middle Mars mod. Almost playable I just need to re-do the States and then add some more decisions and events and testing.Otherwise the LotR mod is cool but still being worked on.

DoD is just the best alt-history mod for any Paradox game. The setting is interesting, the nations are mostly balanced, and it's just fun. It took most of the cool "what-ifs" from the time period of Europa Universalis and bundled them together into it's own world. I had a lot of ideas myself for Vic2 alt-his mods based on my own reading of history and gameplay in Europa Universalis but every time I start worldbuilding for that timeline I realize that Divergences did it better, the few alt-his ideas I've had that don't fit into DoD's world are either extremely implausible, take place before EU's timeframe, would require me to make up or extrapolate a bunch of shit, or just wouldn't be fun/balanced to play.The only interesting point of divergence I can really think of to build a Vic2 alt-his mod off of that hasn't been done in DoD or other mods would be if the Polish-Lithuanian-Muscovite Commonwealth was actually formed although that would likely just result in the Triple Commonwealth becoming the geopolitical equivalent of OTL Russia. But there would be interesting opportunity for conflict like nationalist revolts from Russians/Ukrainians and other nationalities in the Triple Commonwealth. It's also possible that there would be either less or more eastward expansion, as the Triple Commonwealth wouldn't have to worry as much about defending the west, but at the same time Polish centralization might not be interested in settling lands to the east. Germany/HRE would also likely be very different with no Prussia and a very strong eastern neighbor, along with Sweden being much weaker after being unable to expand into the Baltics. This would likely result in a Catholic victory during the Thirty Years' War, maybe leading to a more centralized HRE that is able to persist until 1836, although I imagine there would be lots of separatist sentiments among the Dutch and protestant and liberal Germans.

Other than the iron shortage (which also exists in vanilla to some extent) is there any other way HPM changes the economy? What about other mods, do they fix or fuck up the economy?

I hate the DoD fan fork but I have to admit it does some things right, like: >Arcadia only needing Plantagenia and the Belgian Confederacy to form and not Vinland Both Arcadia and the Belgian Confederacy would be speaking some French-derived language it makes more sense that there would be a shared national identity between the two when Vinland would be speaking Scandinavian. Although this does basically just turn Arcadia into the US and Vinland into Canada. But base DoD Arcadia with the entire western half of North America is already stupidly fucking overpowered.>No Taiping Rebellion in 1836 Doesn't make sense historically, and having two big China unifiers doesn't actually fix the Chinese problem in Victoria 2. DoD FF just puts China under the Shun dynasty with events for a civil war. Rather than two big Chinese unifiers or a single China I think it would be better if there were a bunch of warlord states, like the Mingsplosion happened in 1820 or whatever. Then you have an excuse to just remove a bunch of pops from China and it wouldn't all westernize at once, breaking the world economy. Europeans and Japan would also be able to colonize China that way and it would create a fun dynamic of a player in China trying to unite and westernize as much as they can before colonizers take over too much, similar to India.>Total Anglois Death England or France shouldn't still accept, let alone have Anglois as their primary culture if either of them broke free through revolution. It would make England and France even weaker individually since less accepted pops but would be more manageable than a DM without English and/or French accepted.>Expansion paths for the PLC The Triple Commonwealth is overkill but the PLC should have some better avenue of expansion since they still struggle to compete with other European powers after annexing their substates. Maybe into Romania, Hungary, or the rest of the Baltics instead.I might just make this a submod of base DoD myself.

Whenever I play Victoria 2 l never mobilize before a war. I treat mobolizing like it's MY second phase and I'm the boss fight. So when I'm half out of soldiers, I'll mobilize and play more aggressive. It's especially cool when you are against Germany and they mobilize at the same time as you. I'll even mutter things to myself like "impressive, but can you face the full might of the sovereign people of République française?" Or "hmph enough playing, let's finish this kraut"

I’ve just about squeezed all the fun out of vanilla I can and have a solid grasp of the games fundamentals, but I have no idea which mod to play. GFM, HPM, HPM+, HFM, etc etc it feels like there’s so many mods that do the same or similar things with 100 different forks and I have no idea which one to choose. What are the main mods worth playing in current year and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

Is it actually good? I mean, the map looks rather lovely and all, but can it actually handle the era events, like AI-controlled Sweden actually standing a chance in Great Northern War instead of being gang-raped by its neighbours and capitulate within a year or two (as it would inevitably happen in Vicky2), or PLC partitions, or Silesia wars/7 Years War, not to mention a giant map redraw of Napoleon era? Vicky2 base mechanics are pretty good at preventing blobbing and rapid border changes (which was pretty much in line with the entire Concert of Europe thing), but it wasn't the modus vivendi of 18th century.

Anybody check out Gozomedes' Great Game? I played a couple of games, and its pretty fun, definitely more interesting than the vast majority of vic 2 mods. I just wish it had more content.

What's the best way to transition from an early game subsidized zombie economy to a late game LF one? I read on here once that you should encourage capitalists to 0.3% in all your states, then just shock therapy things by switching to LF and setting your rich tax to 0%. But I feel like my industry never really recovers from this. It takes a really long time for the capitalists to build back to the level 10+ factories I had. So what's the best method?

I don't have much experience with this game, but I'm planning on a mega campaign and need some advice. How can I stay an absolute monarchy throughout the game as a large empire?

Also, is it possible to pass the social reforms like Healthcare and unemployment while not giving any political reforms?

As I reading this thread I found out about this "The Grand Combination" mod, looked like the ultimate version of the HPM to HFM/GFM pipeline I played 3 games to the 1930s in it and I wish to express my disdain for whomever fucking recommended it Total Zigger mod, fucking Russia every single game raped the Ottomans in the Crimean War, France and UK nowhere to be seen (in my last game UK didn't even fucking bother to join) and after that during the Eastern Crisis they just fucking annihilate what remains of the Ottomans and take Constantinopole and like 10 years later annex Turkey, every, single game and Germany NEVER EVER goes to war with them to give them a good raping. Also the AI seems to have some research cheat because even no name shitholes like Wallachia were on top of military tech constantly
