A Vicky 2 LP idea.

[JagreenLern]

So, as my tenure as ruler of Anusblaze comes to a close, I was thinking of doing an LP of my own. I thoroughly enjoy Paradox games, and they seem to be pretty popular on the Codex, so I've begun considering doing a Victoria 2 LP.

I have an idea that would add a special touch to the LP that I'm sure the Codex would appreciate, but it would require a fair bit of modding, and I have no modding experience. You see, I want play the most beloved nation amongst Codexers, from the beginning in 1836. I believe this nation is already playable in vanilla, as I did a national decision to give it cores in my Greater German Reich game, but I would like to play this nation from the start. You see, Codexia, I want to do an LP as Israel, with parties of my own design, as a civilized nation with a western European tech level.

Any advice or offers of collaboration on this effort to bring Judenstaat and lulz to Codex playground would be appreciated.

Step 1; Find your victoria 2 folder.
Step 2: Find your "Decisions" folder.

go to TUR.txt

Scroll down to

form_israel = {
and the part after that.

find the following part

allow = {
is_greater_power = yes
revolution_n_counterrevolution = 1
}

And remove the entire "revolution_n_counterrevolution = 1"-line.

Save the file.
Load up as the Ottomans.
Release Israel via decision.
Save, reload as Israel.

Win.

[BLATANT LIES, SKIP THIS PART]No idea how you can change the parties. Try going to
"[victoria 2 base folder]\common\countries", search Israel, and edit the names of the parties to your liking. If that doesn't work, ask Vaarne or Garfunkel, they're more knowledgeable about arcane matters concerning paradox-games.[/BLATANT LIES]

EDIT: Never mind, found it. [victoria 2 base folder]\localisation, open 1.2.csv Lines 29-35 determine the names shown in the game, column B is the english name for the parties. Edit those, and save. Should work. Never done it myself. Be sure to backup.

There you go, now hurry up and get started. I want to see lots of updates Jagreenlern.

Don't forget to use the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a guide for in-game decisions whenever applicable*, to ensure the rise of the Zionist New World Order.

*Supporting Unionism, Marxism, Feminism and other Jew-backed movements to decline the West.

Cassidy, you didn't think I was planning to do an Israel LP on the KKKodex without referencing plenty of antisemitic canards, did you? I may event name one of the parties the "Elders of Zion". Anyway, could an illustrious Paradox expert like yourself give me any advice? Again, I'd like to start out as a civilized nation with decent tech.

Also, I Unionism and Marxism.

 

[Cassidy]

capital = 549
primary_culture = ashkenazi
culture = sephardic
religion = jewish
government = democracy
plurality = 0.15
nationalvalue = nv_order
literacy = 0.87
civilized = yes

This is the information in the History\countries folder of Israel, which means after released Israel will become a civilized nation, regardless of its status before release. It is like what happens when you release Iceland, which will immediately become civilized too.

And if 0.87 means 87% of the starting population is literate, I don't think you'll need to bother with modding. If you want to cheat though, raising plurality works.

Unfortunately I have no idea on how to define starting techs.

 

[Sulimo]

You can edit your save-file to give you lots of tech points, let's say 50000, should give you some decent starting tech without ruining the balance.

 

[JagreenLern]

I'll start messing around with the files tomorrow. Thanks for the advice, Sulimo and Cassidy.

Actually, I think the party names for a country are in the /common/countries file for Israel. The ones in the localization folder are, IIRC, the generic party names for those without specific party names.

Also, if you're playing as a minor, there's one thing you'll probably want to cheat as your start... Start with Good Healthcare, otherwise your sparse population will choke you.

 

[Sulimo]

common\countries has these names:
party = {
name = "ISR_liberal"
party = {
name = "ISR_conservative"
party = {
name = "ISR_socialist"
etc.

Those aren't names, the are identifiers for the localization file. The names in the localization file are quite specific on being Israeli, being in transcribed Hebrew and all.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Righto.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

Make a decision that gives Israel a core over every territory in the game. Jewish World Order.
