Hey Avindian, this might've been mentioned but when you release a Dominion does it get your primary culture?
Now, if only there was a way to back rebels, or counter rebels, such as the white army in russia...

I hope the next expansion will cover that. That and submarines ;-)
Paradox icon bump! Sweet AAR!
Great AAR! And I love the changes to the naval system.
Can you roughly estimate how many battleships/dreadnoughts can the UK support? Also did the Ledger receive any improvements, so you can actually see how many units of each type you have?
What does 'political considerations' refer to? Just the fear in Prussia and Austria of an independent Poland?
It is a series of under the hood modifiers gathered from all things AI. Basically the same stuff as what humans think when they are to decide whom to support and whom to strike down (to have pretty and clean borders in my case ;-)) - though AI has it abstracted into 0s and 1s, computed and then added into this number.
I like how the crisis of New York went. Any way this could help making things like the Triple Intervention in the 1st Sino-Japanese War happen? Japan conquered Port Arthur from China and demanded it in the peace negotiations. But three European countires (Russia, France and Germany) made a ruckus about it and in the final peace settlement Japan didn't get Port Arthur. Russia would annex that place in the folowing years and 10 years later Japan would go to war against Russia for it. So, in some way, we could see a balance of powers acutally try to happen.
Wikipedia has this:
Although Japan had achieved what it had set out to accomplish, namely to end Chinese influence over Korea, Japan reluctantly had been forced to relinquish the Liaodong Peninsula, (Port Arthur), in exchange for an increased financial indemnity. The European powers (Russia especially), while having no objection to the other clauses of the treaty, did feel that Japan should not gain Port Arthur, for they had their own ambitions in that part of the world. Russia persuaded Germany and France to join her in applying diplomatic pressure on the Japanese, resulting in the Triple Intervention of 23 April 1895.
So Great Wars are no longer a mod? Does it work the same way?
Anyways, very informative AAR, and I can't wait for the release!
I am loving these AARs.
One thing though: Soviet Union? Communist Prussia? Waaait a minute - I've never seen either one in my AHD games, let alone both. Are these revolutions more likely to happen in HoD? I would welcome that!
Edit: Also, how is Prussia not yet NGF in the 1880s? Either something weird but awesome is going on in your AAR game or balance has been changed for the better.
Wait the soviet union actually formed? Slanderous lies!
They were added in AHD, which is one of the system requirements for HoD...
Monarchs backing a soviet union!? Traitors to their right to rule! Blasphemers!
EDIT:
Now, if only there was a way to back rebels, or counter rebels, such as the white army in russia...

I remember Podcat saying that he would only want to do submarines in victoria III as with the current world market the transportation of goods is not represented. Currently subs would have no shipping to sink and thus would be a half arsed inclusion.
Not at present, although it's been mulled around for a while now.
Many thanks, Avindian.
Very, very informative and detailed, like all other parts.
Regarding AI invasions: Could you see if the AI rebuilt transport ships etc. again after they had been sunk in a previous war?
I only ask because in my recent games the AI actually never rebuilt lost transport-fleets and therefor future invasions ceased.
Two question: One, I heard that Colonial points are based on your ships, so do they scale with the ships supply cost, so as to avoid issues like 16 man-o-wars providing more points an 1 battleship?
Two, how does the adjacency thing work for releasing dominions. For example, would you release just Sulawesi in the Dutch east indies as dominion, or is the whole state?
About naval supplies, how do you increase them? Naval bases and tech only or is there something more? Larger naval bases give you more supplies right? Does it make any difference if I build a naval base in a state or a colony, in a core or in a non core? Thanks!
I hope it gets added, historically it's more or less how Britain got ahold of Cyprus.
They were added in AHD, which is one of the system requirements for HoD...
Oh, I only play APD so I had no idea about that.
Nice AAR. Do battleships get a new sprite, and just to make sure.... did you say that cruisers now have the ability to carry passengers, i.e. soldiers. (you mentioned weight)
non-historical dynamic dominions get the dominant culture in the area, if its too small it gets yours. yours is always added as accepted
You would think the americans would fight harder to keep New York.
Oh, okay.
Also, nice AAR Avindian.
Well, it's not really their fault -- I got blasted by the French over and over again, which gave France a ridiculous war score.
