Whitepeace, war with Kashgaria (event)

https://preview.redd.it/6mn8cwklqp7e1.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=410698eb0c47aacd618a48639248449d28fe0ee5

When I was playing Russia in the GFM mod appeared a decision saying "occupation of the lake Balkhash" after kashgaria got independence from China, as soon as you click it it automatically declares war on kashgaria, but then you get an automatic white peace after you declared war, what may it be?

Why does Spain doesnt have Catalans, Galicians and Basque as accept culturas?

This is something that I personally find ridiculous. In Spain at that time, there was no discrimination to such a degree against Catalans or any other culture. For centuries, Spain coexisted with other cultures, and the Bourbon centralization policies only made Spanish the language for state institutions, but cultures other than Spanish were never systematically persecuted. Anyway, if we put it this way, why does France preserve its other Latin cultures if the process of homogeneity of the state began during the revolution? In France, the suppression of other languages was encouraged, in an obvious way, such as prohibiting Breton children from speaking their mother tongue in class. And another thing, they should eliminate Catalonia's cores, at that time there was no Catalan nationalism, that arose at the end of the 19th century.

Mods giving problems

Putting it in a brief way, the game charges the intro, and then gets a black screen with the
mouse-looking clock, and then the game closes on it's own.

It happens with three mods:
- HPM
- GPM
- ANSWR

I also got the Fragmented World Mod FGW.

This one charges to the loading screen, but it gives me an error message

Great game 9\10

I've been playing the vanilla version for about 2 months now and it has been great fun. Too many details and special events for every now and then ( even the newspapers are fun to read ) and I couldn't believe a concept like this could turn into a game until I found out about Vic 2..My only slight suggestion is to include pandemics and diseases events inside the game play ( like to fight a disease in the game ) and also trading ships because there is only war ships and trading between countries happen secretly without visible cargo ships. I know there are small events that include population growth or decrease in relation to pandemics but I think in history it played a bigger role than it's presented in this game ( the same with famine too )

Overall I like that it's somewhat a realistic simulation of running a country

Budget Modding Question

https://preview.redd.it/iecbhbwmu97e1.jpg?width=605&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c262022bbe1c5d83e4f71885849a8c202e3566c

I've noticed some mods (like GFM) will invert the order that the classes are listed on the budget screen to have the wealthier classes appear first, while in vanilla the poor are shown first. Does anyone know which files control this?

Italy forming randomly

I was playing as papal states trying to form Italy, i had a great game (booming economy and secondary power) until 1858 when i looked away for a second and realized i was at war with italy (which had simply spawned out of nowhere into the game) and had just lost all my territory and army. Is this normal? I'm playing with HPM by the way

France loses Alsace-Lorraine as a core.

Hey guys,

So, I am playing a game with Prussia and it happens that, after I formed the German empire via Ems dispatch that triggered the Franco-Prussian which ended in me capturing Alsace-Lorraine, France lost Alsace-Lorraine as a core. Although it was actually a good thing for me because I did not have to keep an eye on France forever since they there was no eternal casus belli, it really makes no sense historically and it took away the competitiveness of the game, which with Germany is already limited after the unification is completed.

Do you guys know why it's the case? I played the latest version of the GFM mode, maybe some bug, I don't know. Any of you guys noticed it?

Why my economy seems to worse when I enter a Sphere?

I'm new to the game, tries a couple runs with Brazil. I notice sometime when a Great Power sphere my country my economy gets bad and only recover when I leave the Sphere. Why does this happens and how I deal with it?

In my last run I was doing great, rank 12, many colonies in Africa, almost none of my pops where in poverty when suddenly my money started to drop. I looked and had a daily deficit of -700/day, almost half my poor and middle strata was in poverty and I was accumulating lots of loans. I notice I got sphered by UK and so I left, my economy recovered and my colonies got invaded by UK, and so I rage quit XD

Why can't I move my troops to a neighbouring province?

I'm trying to move my troops who are on a piece of land that does not connect to the rest of my states. I'm trying to move them into my good ol neighbour China with whom I am allied and have military access as well. China is a Great Power while I'm a Civilized Nation (although I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter). I just want to get my troops there and use the exile exploit to get my guys back home.

When I select my troops and right click, they just won't move. The huge arrow that shows up across a province when you move troops doesn't show up, instead, nothing happens. My troops are currently stationed on a mountain terrain and I'm trying to move them to a desert. What could be causing this?

Is there a mod to name the game less clunky

I really, really want to get into this game but there are just a few quality of life things that it doesn't have and it's really starting to piss me off. Is there like a noobie version of this game? I'm tired of having to look at the wiki every time I get an event.

American Civil War in HPM

Hi all,

I've decided to boot up Vic2 after a couple years off of it, and I went for playing the USA in the 1836 start date. The civil war didn't launch until 1863 - and when it did I instead got the "Threat From The South" Event. When the event fired, the CSA had Missouri, West Virgina, and Maryland, however after clicking the decision to play as the CSA all states were kept in the Union. Is this supposed to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help!

How do I do things?

I can make it to 1900 without falling apart and slowly developing, no clue how to industrialize and by then I’m way behind and have done nothing for some 4 hours.

How war fatigue increases

I am playing with the German Confederation in TGC (I have the entire Austrian empire, Germany and Poland, I also have a good part of Africa, but anyway France formed the Latin Union and I am allowed to dismantle it, currently I am in 1900 I have most of it of their occupied country, I have blocked their coasts but to make the decision to dismantle them, they ask me for the Latin union to have 80 war exhaustion and they only have around 30, how can I increase their war fatigue, or do I just have to keep them busy for a few years?
