I'm liking the expac so far. Quick question though; is there any way to see which justifications you currently have? It doesn't seem to appear under CB's in the diplomacy screen.
If you have them they are under CB's, you just have to look at the country you have it on.
It's under "Casus Bellis" in the "Current Wars" tab, right next to number of brigades.
The only problem I've encountered is that in my Prussia game my population has basically no Jingoism, so I can't add any wargoals in an ongoing war. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I ask because my spherelings seem to have no such problem and in vanilla I've never had a problem like that.
Otherwise everything is amazing!
What's the predominant issue that the pops want? In my game, the overwhelming wanted Landed voting rights, so in the middle of the war I granted them. That makes all those pops swing to a new issue, Jingoism being one of them. I was immediately able to add a war goal after passing the reform.
Look under the Diplomacy screen click on the country your interested and click the Show Wars tab. There's a section for Casus bellis. If you don't see it there then it could have expired... They don't last forever so you have to be sure that you're pretty much ready to start the war when you try to Justify War.
Just a question :
Is it possible that they added sprites for the cavallery to the game ?
I can't remember that i saw them before.
Looks very nice

I think so. Hard to remember if they were in vanilla. Also LOTS of tanks. It's worth playing all majors till the end just to see their tank.
Ah I see, thanks. Is there no screen that shows you all of your CB's on all countries however?
I found a couple of weird things:
1) UK's Portuguese ghost investment: at 1836 game start UK has 10k in investment in Portugal but the thing is, investment in what? there's not a single railroad or factory on Portugal, funnily Portugal has the decision to nationalize active, even if you do, you get nothing! (I initially expected to get the cash, but noooo!!!) is the UK laundering their Opium money in Portuguese briefcase factories?
2) Acquire Substate Casus Belli: ....so what does it does exactly? you can get the same states from China by using a Concession CB @ 5 BB, so why would someone bother with the substate CB @ 10 BB?? maybe am I missing something? (or is the UK laundering BB now? )

you cant declare war on a puppet or substate, and you cant free a substate, so you need that special CB to take puppet provinces
I'm on my second AHD game and overall I am pleased with the changes, makes it a much better game. One thing though, in both games I played (first as Japan then Prussia>NGF>German Empire) Austria experienced an almost instantaneous great leap forward industrially. By the mid-1840s Austria had a higher industrial score than both Prussia/NGF and France, what is keeping Russia's development so historical while Austria (with similar issues) makes such great economic progress?
Romania in 1861 hasn't any tech researched. Any.
Alot of Unciv's have more lol
Bought AHD on release day; just got a chance to play it now
I like it so far; playing as US, but not with the new scenario (might try that another time).
I know at one point this was possible, and before AHD it wasn't, but I wanted to know if it was possible to avoid ACW entirely.
I do notice the AI is a lot more aggressive; Mexico going after Haiti seems a little ahistorical, but I get why they might do it from a geopolitical standpoint. Brazil's been eating South America like nobody's business.
My performance is actually a tiny bit slower than it was in the past, but then again, I didn't uninstall and reinstall Vicky 2 (which I probably should have) first. I'm going to clean out the map cache and see if that helps too.
Great stuff so far!

In a wierd reversal of previous Paradox games I now find that the AI is TOO likely to honor alliances - especially if you're the agressor.
E.g. I'm France and allied with UK. UK is allied with both me and Prussia. I attack Prussia and UK is "very likely" to honor. If I waited UK would join Prussia. It seems to give the agressor quite a boost.
Also I really like the new CB system. Though I feel Jingonism is far better than pacifism or anti-military now.
Also I like that the Danish colony on the Gold Coast has now been added to the game. Though this ofc still becomes Prussian Ghana within 5 years of the start

How many examples of this have you seen. If it is just the one then there are a number extenuating circumstances which could explain it.
To be completely honest, I think any more scenarios would be a waste of time. No matter how good they are new features are better.
