i tried, but Pocus made it very hard, simply aiming to the musculus risorius that way....
come on lad, i saw the posts at paradox...
first most people here are the same as there, so are the devs/mods. no need for double posting.
there you only have a higher chance to run into absolute beginners who actually do sometimes not even find the patches...
for war score i gave you an example of possible problems.
solution:
describe for every country strategic objectives which fire in F10 as soon DOW (IN THE EXTENDED CLAIMS MODE). all need to be seized which, if hold for a certain time, lets say 10 years, fire an event which triggers gradually changing national loyalty...
like HOI, get Indonesia and capture thereby remainders of the Dutch ^^
however, who the heck has the time for this? who has the time to nil all events after that kind of "expatriation" of a whole country happens ???
for the replies you got at Paradox, half is merely frustrated hot air (sorry guys but regarding rebels i have plenty of experience with USA and Russia and once you dont hunt them, but encircle them with light cavalry before engaging in battle, there is 75% chance to get POWs), a quarter are even totally false assumptions
in generally:
rebel stacks are normally coming in groups of two or three in case of tribal uprises in North America, pretty good chance you dont even see them all in any nation in any game, before they are gone again by themselves.
A picket line of light cavalry along the Minnesota and Mississippi streams worked as a picked line to condemn them in tribal lands, so did it for partisans. Cities get a brigade infantry either. No Garrisons at all. they stay OUTSIDE of the city.
same method was used to nail confederates down in streets, avoiding battle, gaining ground, leaving them only two ways open into the city or into the ocean...
tactic vs strategy, success vs time...
if you have national uprises, then either you did something wrong, got scripted uprises or militantism still does not work right. temporary problems not more
furthermore:
Enemy armies root to the next provinces at the moment...
they should simply go to the "direction" where they have the highest military control and not just to a province without major stacks of players troops...
nothing more to change. if no more MC of at least 85%, let them drop the weapons. loyalty will not drop in seized national territory, no full annexation of major powers.
let there be a war of attrition like Spain in the Napoleonic era or the West of the USA till the 1890s...
take the war out of the game, make attrition much higher in case of such wars
