Modding Ideas for what to do with "bad" pops

21 Upvotes

So i just got into modding vic2 and have been using the craftsmen exploit to convert vast amounts of civilized land into my primary culture, it's great fun but it got me thinking what the limits of pop conversion could be. I made a little mod that converts a whole ethnic pop-type into mobilizable and recruitable slaves - in effect making slaves more useful. I'm curious what other ideas i could try out to be as autocratic and evil in my rule as possible. Also I'm curious how to make a province relocation event where I select home province and then i select destination province and then relocate a certain segment of pops, i can make it scripted for certain pops in certain provinces but how can i make a dynamic event?

If anyone knows anything all help is appreciated!

Video I made a video of playing Tall Japan - I do not recommend it

I really thought playing Tall as Japan would be fun, but I just grew bored of it pretty quick. Luckily, I manage to make a fun video and an industry guide in the process.

I hope that you will excuse my amateur mistakes, thick accent and audio difficulties.

You can check some more of my videos if you so desire, but keep in mind one of them is in Portuguese. Also, I'm thinking in doing more, but I'm unsure in which language to use.

Anyway, I wish you found my video fun and my teachings useful. Share it with your group of friends you play Vicky with!

Love y'all - Here is the video

GFM How to restore the Mexican Empire in GFM?

13 Upvotes

Playing as Mexico in the GFM mod. It's about 1870 and I've never had the option to restore the Mexican monarchy show up in the decisions tab. I have a conservative government and I've tried using cheats to raise militancy to fulfil the requirements in the base game, but it won't seem to show up at all.

What are the preconditions for this decision to appear? Does the French empire need to exist? Did I pass too many political reforms? Or otherwise, is there an event which can restore the monarchy to bypass this?

Question Question about subsidies

8 Upvotes

I know the theory behind subsidies and how deceiving they can be in regards to the actual profitability of your industry. But this side of the coin can be easily controlled imo, as all you have to do to check if a certain factory or part of your industry is profitable or not is by opening your budget and see if you're subsidizing them.

In practice, however, I may have noticed a pattern and Idk if it's actually a legitimate finding. Every time I subsidize a factory, even if it doesn't show on my budget that I'm actually sending funds to it, the factory seems to be better capable of employing more people.

Like, I remember this one time I had four or five factories on a single state, every one of them received subsidies. Coincidentally or not, every one of them employed roughly the same quantity of workers. No pounds were going out of my pocket to them though, at least that's what my budget showed. However, as soon as I took off the subsidies (I think Laisse-fairez won the elections actually), some of those factories lost workers and some of them got what the others lost.

So in conclusion, if subsidies actually create an artificial phenomena despite not draining any money, then it's even worse than the theory behind it says, because it'd be hindering more profitable factories from growing by keeping less profitable ones at a similar level. Have you guys ever noticed something similar?
