Suggestions and Requests

[The Green One]

Another suggestion I wanted to make for some time, but newer got around to actually do it:
Make Germany(Prussia) a conditional spawn considering the stability of HRE. It makes sense both historically and gameplay wise:
Historical:
Had HRE not been as unstable, Prussia would probably newer risen to power and unified Germany. Additionally, with a strong HRE, there really wound not have been a need for a new German nation state, as Germany would have already been unified as HRE.
Gameplay:
The spawn of Prussia/Germany is really devasting for HRE, as you suddenly get a much worse core. This seams just unfait to the player, and if HRE is AI-controlled and strong, HRE already fits the role Prussia should take in the game (A central European powerhouse), therefore there is no need for a spwan of Prussia.

An additional condition for the spawn of Prussia could be wether HRE controls the entire Prussian core. That way, if the Player is HRE and wants Prussia to spawn (In order to play as Prussia), he could simply grant independence to Danzig/Königsberg, wich is part of the Prussian core, but not the HRE-core.
Should you, Leoreth, accept my proposal, I could try to implement it myself (I already did it once) and make a pull request, thogh I have no idea how to implement the proposed control-territory-condition.

I'm no regular on these forums, but I have definitely read a thread in which this argument was gigantic.

The sea mines idea is actually rather interesting, although I would implement them as an actual unit instead of a fort equivalent, with a high strength but only one movement and defend only. They probably also need to take high flanking damage from other ships so they cannot be stacked.

Oh that's interesting. I'm going to mine it for ideas haha

I think this is a very good idea and coincide with all of the arguments

I agree with all the LH suggestions, especially with Hongwu's proposed replacement LH, as Korea desperately needs more leaderheads. Seeing Wang Kon in 1800 AD is certainly not refreshing.
I also want to apologize to Leoreth, as my response some time ago was not very mature or constructive. Please forgive me.

Also, I have my own suggestion (in a more constructive way than last time).
From the same documentary by the Smithsonian, is Suryavarman II shown historically accurate, as a warrior king.

Spoiler :

I propose that Firaxis' version be used instead for a later king, the last king of the Khmer Empire, Ponhea Yat. Also, if not already try using this reskin I found somewhere.

Spoiler :

Do not mind the background, that's for a project of mine, it should be replaced should the mod use the LH.
I also propose using my Suryavarman II LH instead, which is more fitting and actually does the king some honor, representing him as an intimidating and divine figure (with Angkor Wat in the background, like it originally looked like). I also "upgraded" my Suryavarman LH, which now displays almost no animation glitches.

Spoiler :

What does everyone think?

The current warmap of Japan includes South East Asia and the Pacific, to represent the Japanese conquests of WWII. It is a bit unhistorical if they conquer it early on. Right now, their vanilla and reborn warmap are the same. It would be appropriate if their vanilla warmap doesn't include that area, but their reborn warmap (which applies if they enter the industrial era) does.

 

[Leoreth]

True. Can you make it happen?

 

[merijn_v1]

Done.

 

[Leoreth]

Merged.

Responding to Bautos42's art work on leaders' heads: it is a good attempt to replace the current Abas since it cannot make me forget Tokugawa. Using Songtsan Gampo is fine, but his skin and eyes are still very East Asian-like.

On the other hand, for Hongwu, can you add some dragon patterns onto his yellow clothes? Don't you think it looks a little plain?

 

[Leoreth]

I can't do anything art related, sorry.

Maybe Riflemen should be renamed to Fusiliers and Infantry to Rifleman?

 

[Kakafika]

I just wanted to say that I really like the new leader art, thank you for your contributions!

Would it be possible to create a map with the areas that civilizations can target when they construct the Trading Company? I think that information could be quite valuable.

Sheep is tradable after invention of refrigeration tech, but, does human mostly eat sheeps, or does they just gathering a wool from them? Is wool need a refrigeration to trade them? Sheep are not mainly the food resource in my opinion, but they mostly have an industrial meaning (wool, of course - we can also make a cheese from their milk). But if so, they should not need a refrigeration tech to be tradable.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

But wool should arguably give happiness, not health, no?

 

[Panopticon]

It's a classic case of complementary goods. Where there was lots of wool, there was lots of mutton.

In fact, wool was an industry that was already quite productive before the Industrial Era particularly around the English Channel. The big catch-up from steam power at European mills was in output from cotton and flax (linen).

Shouldn't the Prussian 2nd UHV include Poland and the Netherlands? (You probably do it anyway)

 

[Leoreth]

Historically speaking, probably Poland at least.

 

[Genghis Khaiser]

In my opinion, for the sake of historical accuracy, Japan's and Prussia's 2nd UHVs should be extended to 1950, and adding regions to keep the challenge.

For example, with Japan it could be Polynesia and maybe Australia, the Tibet, or Mongolia, while with Prussia it could be Austria, Poland, the Netherlands and the Balkans.
