Can't start a game, it loads but when I go to select a country the map looks like this Prnt.sc and it crashes when I try to load in

'PEACE_TIME_MONTHS'is how long the AI wants to wait before it's more willing to make peace
'BASE_TRUCE MONTHS' is the standard length of time of a truce
However you also have 'truce_months' in cb_types to act as an override for some cbs

I think the problem you're having though is how truces are saved. Once you make peace a "truce_until=" date is created and isn't changed afterwards.
If you want to change how long you have a truce for you would need to declare peace after you changed it
or you could just edit your save

Thanks for letting me know, If you can send the save I can work on fixing it.

huh, I was just writing a response to your first post. Good timing.
Yeah, it's covering your debt to the canal, nothing that I've changed.

Just an FYI on the Netherlands for that patch(I'm fixing it in the build I'm working on...slowly), you've got maybe 50-60 years after you activate their buff before the pop growth has exponentially grown to a point of ridiculousness.
It is kinda fun though seeing Friesland have the same population as all of Germany and being able to mobilise and walk over whoever you want.

Alright, try that.
It's not easy though

Download the file
Unzip
Take the HPMXB folder and HPMXB.mod file and put them into Victoria 2\mod

Thanks for the feedback!

I had noticed this bug but tbh I hoped it would only be an issue on my machine. I've uploaded a patch now

If that's a HFM thing not a HPM thing than No. Didn't even know that was a thing tbh

Just load this by itself, as I've been changing HPM files I've bundled the current version of HPM in with it

The buff only lasts 10 years and so they will level off.

It probably does need nerfing some more but as France is the Easiest nation I've done some work on I wanted to add a challenge to make playing them fun by giving a challenge that wasn't just a big blob across Europe or giving them a million infamy for playing well.
In my test games the AI being the AI it wasn't hard to win Africa and easily have 40+ million pops to rival Germany.
I don't know, what would you like to see?

I like it

While that is something I've thought about Germany in itself is kinda difficult for me because they're so strong they're just not really fun, same as Great Britain.
I have had a couple of Ideas; such as making a dominating Germany get 'embargoed' so their import costs go up really high but I'm not sure.

I've made a quick patch that should be available now.

for the next 0.x update I'm mainly focusing on Turkey, after that I'll look at integrating them into the game so they might appear outside of player intervention.
The issue is the Ottomans are probably the most scripted nation in the game and so when I'm going to go and change them I'm going to want to do it right

I went with a different route.
If France annexes the rhineland than the north or south German federations can form Germany if they control just Bavaria and Silesia.
After they get a REALLY strong buff to all of their German provinces for 10 years.

unhistorical cores
Netherlands gets a pop growth buff
Germany gets a massive buff if France takes the Rhine
Danubian confederation can accept more pops and can form Germany
Mexico can accept Caribbean pops
Uncivilised nations can keep conquered lands as states on westernising
France can assimilate some neighbouring states.

I'd like to balance things of course but I can only play so much vicky

The Ottomans were probably next on my list of nations to have a look at So we'll see how things pan out

Same thing happened on a Portugal run, I wasn't even subsidising this time.

Something broke. I was playing Brazil and now I have £0 am making £0 but also not losing any. I can move my taxes around and no change. I can put my tariffs up but that either bankrupts my factories or just ends up coming out of my profits in subsidies
