July 3rd - Some weekends screenshots

[Johan]

We're stuck at the office without proper AC, and its melting hot outside...

So here's a few screenshots from our internal testing..


Start of liberal revolution in Austria..
"1846 and the rebels are organising, shame my upper house won’t go liberal fast enough..

A quick peak of Oceania in the 1860's

 

[Johan]

Btw. the "important issues" tab reflects that people don't want sudden changes from one extreme to another and even when they'd like universal suffrage, they will declare support only for landed voting as the next step towards their goal?

yep.

 

[Johan]

And here, we got one uprising..

 

[King]

No doubt they'll tell us when we've been overthrown and shot

No the new secret police will report about the triumph of the revolution.

 

[Tegus]

So colony map labels will reflect the owner?

Awesome, I was hoping for that! Will we be able to change the names as well?

Yes and no, you can't explicitly change the names, but the names are generated depending on who has cores in the provinces.

 

[King]

So it will remain Dutch Java until it is conquered by someone else who has also cores there?

It is called Java because they have cores on it. It is Dutch because they own it.

 

[Johan]

Noticed the same thingy with population as with Japan. Have you decided to denote population in # POPs then?

Yep.

Testers just got too confused with numbers not adding up.

 

[Tegus]

I'm perhaps slightly confused, but...
Dutch Java gets conquered by Germany -> German Java
I modify game files to give cores to Thailand -> Dutch Thailand?

Yeah, that's the way it works.

Names are generated ingame, so if you conquer a large enogh territory it will name it after your country.

 

[Tegus]

Any chance there could be both numbers? Or change it back to the way it was and have a tooltip explaining why the population is higher than the total number of POPs?

There's a tooltip on that number to which mentions both your POP population and your actual population.

 

[Tegus]

Wow! That is amazing! So will Canada display "British Canada" at the start of the game? Cause that's how I'm interpreting it.

That should make Africa a hold lot more word-y, and quite a bit nicer to look at.

Yes, it says British Canada at game start now. However, if you get too many different cores in a single blob it will default to continent name, i.e. if the UK would conquer the USA it would probably say "British North America"

 

[Tegus]

Just the one who holds the majority? or anyone who holds enough to get over the line?

i.e. Could you get, British Canada sharing borders with French Canada or would the one who got the biggest chunk be the only one to get the name?

AND its a BRILLIANT little feature, Great idea, Great Work

It's just the majority of cores in your nation's land. It's fully possible to get "British Canada", "French Canada" and "Canada"(as an independent nation) to exist at the same time.

Sounds like something fun to test!

 

[King]

"Yugoslavian Nationalist" may be a necessary abstraction but it sure gets a chuckle out of me.

Its largely a post-WW1 construction, and an arbitrary exercise in nation-building. It worked quite well for awhile, but there couldnt have been many Serb or Croat seriously considering themselves "Yugoslavian nationalists" in the Liberal revolution time frame.

/nitpick

I bet those guys that met at the Pan-Slav congress of 1848 felt like real idiots trying to create a post WW1 contruction.

 

[King]

The name was chosen in order to try and entice a greater number of influential Slav nationalists, though ultimately this failed; the majority were in fact Czechs and Slovenes, and the Congress itself had almost no representation for the people of the Balkans. In this respect, the name is incredibly misleading as it was a poorly-organised political movement to try and gain French pressure on Austria to devolve greater powers to Bohemia. I very much doubt 'Yugoslavians' had a great deal to gain from this particular endeavour.

Austen.

So no one was interested in creating a South Slav state until 1918. Comeone think harder.

 

[Tegus]

Can you release a new country named 'British Brazil' or another type of colony? (eg. let’s say you conquered a lot of land overseas, but you don't want to keep it under your control anymore, so you release it as a puppet or an independent nation)

If this is true then will it be called 'British Brazil' or 'Brazil'? Baring in mind that the original 'Brazil' may already exist.

Looks very nice either way.

Conquered country names only show if you own the territory, so if you release Brazil they will simply be called Brazil

 

[podcat]

nope, unless you add them, it's very moddable

the problem here is TAG's, I thought that it was said once that every nation on the map+ every posible nation slows down the game about 3 times the tag's is slowing down the game speed ten times

not sure what you mean. new tags should scale linear

 

[Tegus]

If, say, Great Britain conquers half of Java. Will the Dutch part say "Dutch Java", while the British one will say "British Java"?

Yes
