Most historical result with very few tweaks to 1.8, check it out!

[Golladan]

If lucky nations are turned on, 10 existing AI nations will be given Luck at the start of the game. If random, the nations will be picked randomly based on weights that can be changed in defines. If historical lucky is picked, the nations will be picked in order and based on the criteria set in the historical lucky files. If there aren't enough valid nations to fill all 10 slots, then the remaining slots will be filled by random AI nations.

Lucky nations do not suddenly change mid-game unless the nation ceases to exist (or it becomes a vassal/subject? of the player?). Scotland doesn't become lucky because it formed Great Britain. Likewise, England doesn't stop being lucky because Scotland formed Great Britain. Portugal doesn't suddenly stop being lucky if the calendar hits the year 1700.

As far as I know that is how lucky nations work. Do you have a screenshot showing me otherwise?

No lucky nations change mid-game all the time, they follow strictly the list in the file, as to always have the first 10 nations picked. For example, when Netherland formed, it booted Portugal.

There is some bug though, for example end of game Portugal was lucky again but Sweden was not, even though Portugal is last on my list. But Manchu/Qing was always lucky, you can easily see it by hovering your mouse over a province defensiveness, if there is +10% luck, the country is lucky. Will post a screenshot tomorrow it's too late now to be bothered.

Wow+++

Mod?

Also, can Paradox add this to the next patch?

 

[Xionsi]

This is brilliant.

 

[ashmizen]

Any update on this? Waiting for a mod package we can install easily.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful mod, although if it isn't, I hope EVE considers some of this.

Well, if that passes for historical, i dont want to live on this planet anymore.

My understanding is that while Lucky Nations use to change, a few patches ago they changed it so that lucky nations are never reassigned after the game starts. Which means that you can actually remove all the Lucky Nations from the game if you're patient enough.

I like the idea of 4(so 8 total) centers of reformation.

 

[AureliusBob]

Ive had more historical results in Europe in EU3 then whatever you have there

 

[Simoleum]

Not sure if this is ironic or I'm just a EUIV lowbrow.

they are reassigned, I've checked this

Look at the 1650 map. Netherland and Persia formed and are strong, Manchu formed, Ottomans got Egypt, Lithuania-Poland roughly historical size, Brandenburg exists, France/Spain/Portugal/GB historical sizes, Cusco and Aztec dominating their areas. There are a few ahistorical things like the Timurids did not form Mughals (an extremely lucky situation in history btw) and a weak Sweden, Austria not PUing Bohemia and Hungary, but overall it's pretty good

I'm still waiting for that screenshot.

 

[LiberiusX]

OP, how many simulations have you run?

Meanwhile Scandinavia is complete mess, Lithuania is nowhere near historical and running wild and Commonwealth never formed, Bohemia is on rampage, oh, and is that surviving Byzantium?

Aztecs and Inca should be dead, not dominating by then. Though slow colonization elsewhere is nice. Is that New Portugal in North America, btw?
