WHich made me also conclude that EU2 is actually still very well editable and controllable for its purpose. And I would not agree that other pdox games really outdate it that much. Based on editability both HOI and Victoria are about equally limited as EU2, while they have their own gameplay limitations. CK has a totally different and much nicer system of functions but that is absolutely not suitable to enforce any contolled simulation for a historical scenario. HOI2 I don't have but I strongly doubt it provides anything 'new' for the sake of editors either. As such EU2 is perhaps kind of outdated but none of the later pdox games has been such a step forward either to make it already obsolete (says the guy who thinks that even the editable functions of civ2 are still usable to create historical scenario's ;)).

What I'm referring to is that the later games have some much needed event commands EU2 lacks. They have an easier modable tech tree (the techs being my reason for shortening the timespan of AoI), customizable units, etc.

What I'd really love would be an EU2 added all the good features (and none of the bad :p ) from Victoria. :cool:
 
Hive, how do you upload a rar file? Need some s*** off the internet? I don't think I have that on my comp, especially the one with no internet access and I don't feel like explaining why it would take at least 2-3 weeks to get it on that PC. Do you have an alternative file I could download, a zip file maybe?

No, I'm afraid it's only available as a *.rar file. What you need is Winrar or a similar program to open it.

Further installation instructions are in the readme file within the archive.

I can't choose the Uk because they don't have any field... why is this? I have EUFGM ( or something ) and AoI 2.5...

If something's not working, you haven't installed my mod correctly. Check out the readme and try again.

Feel free to try out my PC installer for AoI. You can find it at www.vricklund.se. Download the setup file and the patch, both .exe files. It will install the mod properly (at least with the American and Scandinavian version) and create a subfolder in your start-menu.

Unless Hive specifically allows us to clutter up his AoI thread with installer problems I suggest you direct any complaints to me via the forum PM system. :)
 
yeah, i can't seem to find my other post in all this clutter of a forum (EU2 and strategy first in general) but i was able to get the rar download software i needed. Beautiful creation! The cause (or solution to) EVERYONE'S insomnia :wacko: Some basic changes that I'd do if I was you are (since you pretty much are the creator of an entirely NEW game): let a governor promotion be a one solid inflation drop for what they are worth. let not one single governor be promoted in a single province at the start of any scenario as any country regardless of the year. 2) put celtic (and i'm glad you used celtic) to scotland, n. ireland and wales in EVERY scenario. 3) put polish culture back to brest litovsk. (but i'm also glad you kept it to lwow) and as that one dude said, use polish names for polish cities or at least english names. i'm not really aware if if any other cities are in english or culturally named but maybe it would be good to give the city it's name in it's own language and just call the country by it's English name. 4) let a country up to 3 or 4 provinces (I'd go with 4, but you're the judge) that is 100% conquered be FULLY annexed and any country that is more than that than you can inplement the usual strategy first created bullshit of waited 5 #$*%ing years to annex your prize. (but maybe something can be done with that, I'd have to think about a good solution). 6) tone down tremendously the costs of infra and trade investments so it's actually possible to hit the next level sooner than 150-175 years. 7) IROQUOIS is spelt wrong. look again I R O Q U O I S. but that's strategy's mistake from earlier, not yours. and let all Iroquois provinces always be a 1000 populated city, if not having a 2000 populated capital as well not this level five colony #### as they probably have not the colonist capacity nor the money to colonize these provinces to city status. It's not fair for them defending themselves against american aggression as just having their capital province of mohawk to produce a mere 4000 troops at a time against wave after wave of anglosaxon products of the flesh. And also all Indian nations should have tech levels 31/25 or so in 1773 and the same if not a bit higher in 1795 to make the odds a bit fairer against america.

And I might add more as I play (not just your mod, your version of EU2) later on. Oh and by the way, did you every fix strategy's mistake of not being able to add anyone to your alliance as Louis XIV in the war of Spanish Succession scenario? And there's one very last thing I'm forgetting but I'll come back later with it.
 
Oh yeah last thing was Naples really needs a flag. Why don't you off some Asian or African country (games seems a bit uhh anyway)(Ivory and WHAT are trade goods of yeah....). But seriously, I'M serious. Off some backwards country in one of those two continents, someone even pointed out it is called Europa Universalis, after all. And check the spelling of Iroquois allthough I am certain that that is right.
 
First of all, Strategy First didn't make this game - Paradox did. Strategy First only distributed it, and that only in North America. So you are blaming/praising the wrong people here. ;)

Anyway, most of the suggestions you have can't be altered, as they are hardcoded into the *.exe file. Only Paradox can toy around with stuff like govenors' effect on inflation, when nations can be annexed, etc...

Also, I have abandoned further work on my mod. I got burned out on EU2. So it's very unlikely that there'll be another AoI - at least untill Paradox gives us EU3. :D

I'm not quite sure what you mean with the Naples thing, btw. They DO have a flag... both for the Naples tag and for the Two Sicilies tag, :confused:
 
Well, it is just too bad that AoI is done. Sad... el modeo de perfectionez ( :confused: ) (or something like that). I enjoyed it (the whole three weeks I had it) but now that I know it is a thing of the past it's just too hard too comprehend. Well, all good things have to come to an end, right? (I'm not crying....) But anyway, can you at least convert ONE of the Seven Years War mods and the 1683 (which seems to have been removed) or the 1648 mod to AoI? Do it for the sexy b**ch down the street, do it for all your fans, do it for yourself, do it for the greater glory of GOD and country! (the still vast areas of unknown and unexplored land would always attract adventures in search of fame, fortune and wealth :D (and maybe something else, but you get the point ;) ) Well, I just ate dinner and forgot in the meantime what else I was going to say, but off to the 1648 thread! :rofl:

I got tired of EU2. And since I have no intention to play the game anymore, why should I spend lots of time modding it? There's simply no reason for me to mod anymore, no purpose.

But I'll return for EU3... if we ever see one. ;)

Well, it happens to us all eventually.

Give it a few more months and EU2 MP will be over, I think. Fittingly, the last threads will be a Ryoken thread explaining game strategy in even more detail, the last ever campaign thread, ending with a player announcing that they've had enough, followed finally by a thread where DanielA accuses that player of being a bad quitter, which eventually gets closed and gets Daniel a permanent ban.

Oh, and I'll try and get on ICQ some time. :)
 
I was bored with EU2 about a year ago then just last month I started playing it again my interests really shift between the games, ill play one for a while, then switch to another one, and so on untill Im back at EU2, I own all of them :D

Nah, EU2 won't be over untill persistent people like Fredrik and FAL gets tired of it. :p

Oh I doubt that, seeing as how he got himself perm-banned. :D

Hmmm yes, sounds fairly likely.

You really ought to do that, yes.
 
Well, good show and thanks for everything with AoI to this day. Do put out and AoI for EU3 though and I'm sure there will be an EU3 since all paradox need to do is come here and see the evidence of all of their adoring fans ;) Someone said that Strategy is based in Sweden but since I know that Strategy just destributes the game but doesn't make it isn't it true that at least Paradox is based in Montreal? And what happened to the EU avitars? All i see is HOI and Victoria.
