I downloaded the current version available at github, and for some reason i couldnt complete the Meiji restoration journal entry, even after doing the 3 objectives, i did solve this by forcing the event that triggers off completing it by using the console, but it was a odd nuisance

My prime minister keeps getting kicked out one week after he was appointed.

Hi, thank you for this amazing mod. The latest update has me a little bit confused, to appoint cabinet members I need mandate but don't seem to be generating it. I'm playing as an autocratic sokoto, will i have to be a democracy to have a cabinet

Encountered a bug. When you are in "Total deadlock" in your legislative, it gives you +1 to rigidity instead to -1 as stated in the popup.
Skootchums Oct 8, 2024 @ 10:19am 
Should note I only saw this playing the US and haven't checked if it happens with all countries

When a president gets voted out he doesn't get replaced in the cabinet until he dies. His character screen also still considers him president.

@lilliesea will you add new economic systems like state capitalism?
borcrg Sep 27, 2024 @ 7:21am 
Is this compatible with VFM?

A little late but the catholic church should probably also support monarchy if the state starts to secularize, although my comments are about monarchy in general they can apply to many other ideologies, conservative interest groups should generally support more reactionary policies stronger if they think theyre at threat of becoming marginalized
FlyHunterKFC Sep 26, 2024 @ 1:02pm 
Napoleon, Agustin de iturbides, that one central african dictator, and the other napoleon all did it this way
FlyHunterKFC Sep 26, 2024 @ 12:58pm 
It should be very impractical, but I can give the example of the conservatives in mexico who tried to install maximilian as a puppet monarch as they were trying to slow down reform, also for situations where countries have a dictator with unlimited power they should just be able to declare themselves kings since the only change is the title really
lilliesea  [author] Sep 25, 2024 @ 6:39pm 
@FlyHunterKFC In most cases it should be almost impossible to get a monarchy in the new world.
FlyHunterKFC Sep 25, 2024 @ 3:07pm 
do you think you could decrease the amount of republican ideologies in the new world, some groups just shouldnt care and no matter what minus some absolute insane luck with the ai you cant enact monarchy, even if for example an autocratic leader is basically a monarch. It would also be nice if you could promote ideologies among interest groups

感觉更新了外交政策之后,ai开始全世界保证独立,而且开了这么多档美墨战争一次都没打起来。
Riftwalker Sep 4, 2024 @ 11:53am 
if you guys aren't married to having specific characters to choose for cabinet positions i think if instead you moved the UI to choosing IGs you could have a bunch of mechanics revolving around how many seats each IG could have rather than having it be dictated by random chance. just an idea. :)

Update v2.3-beta.4
NOTE: Not save compatible with beta.3. Use the previous release on Github (https://github.com/Better-Politics-Mod/Better-Politics-Mod-Vic-3/releases/tag/v2.3-beta.3) to continue existing saves.
- Major backend IG enablement changes; should improve performance somewhat
- IG Leader minister selection now costs authority instead of a timed cooldown
- The same character can no longer be assigned to multiple ministries
- Minor French Second Republic flavor + legitimist coup fix

Is this intended behaviour, that progressive IG's ministers increase rigidity, while conservative ones decrease it?
It seems counterintuitive.
hyx138422 Aug 31, 2024 @ 10:07am 
But the whole political system will be rebuilt in the coming 1.8 version:steamsad:
hyx138422 Aug 31, 2024 @ 10:06am 
Amazing update!
Forkkind Aug 31, 2024 @ 9:52am 
These features are insane! Do minister bonuses change depending on their ideology?
wjyrichboy Aug 31, 2024 @ 7:36am 
is the mod with chinese?
lilliesea  [author] Aug 31, 2024 @ 6:44am 
Just noticed that there was a weird IG bug due to a commit we merged by accident. This should be fixed now.
lilliesea  [author] Aug 31, 2024 @ 5:39am 
@Pamparampampamparam The war will likely remain unavoidable for the foreseeable future.

Probably, any changes will be about making the war happen more organically i.e. through a movement rather than an event alone. The ACW is simply too pivotal to any US content design; it would require much more manpower than we currently have to flesh out a peaceful route. There will be plenty of fantasy wish-fulfilment alt-hist in Reconstruction!
Isolator Aug 30, 2024 @ 11:21pm 
請問這個MOD兼容Ultra Historical Politics MOD 嗎?
Pamparampampamparam Aug 30, 2024 @ 9:08am 
Oh, are there plans to give you a way to avoid the ACW?

I know some will argue it should be unavoidable, and while I usually play America somewhat-historically being able to resolve slavery politically and sidestep the most destructive war the country ever fought is part of the alt-history fantasy that makes me gravitate to this game. It's the equivalent of forming Greater Germany for me.

I just hope that whatever method you give us to avoid the war can be achieved organically thru the mod's existing systems instead of forcing us to take very specific and convoluted path.

Could this cabinet idea be applied to IGs in some form too? Maybe a trio in each IGs, rotating in leadership with natural fluctuation in popularity by events. Simulating political jostling in the political landscape, and would be a better way to get refreshed available political leaders than the weak existing vanilla interactions or exploits.
lilliesea  [author] Aug 29, 2024 @ 9:51pm 
@Pamparampampamparam Not yet
lilliesea  [author] Aug 29, 2024 @ 9:51pm 
@Argresh It's standalone
Argresh Aug 29, 2024 @ 8:56pm 
Does this work standalone, or do you also need the Better Politics Mod as well?
Pamparampampamparam Aug 29, 2024 @ 11:21am 
Can I peacefully end US slavery in this version?
Shadow Dragon Aug 29, 2024 @ 10:42am 
Where are the characters coming from? Did you add new ones per party?
lilliesea  [author] Aug 29, 2024 @ 12:14am

- Fixed Promise Cabinet Position sway

Hello author, there are still some Chinese parts in the module that have not been completed yet. I tried to replace the text information in the file for translation myself, but it seems to have no effect
吐球球的巴雷特 Aug 27, 2024 @ 11:50pm 
有中文介绍吗
茶锈 Aug 27, 2024 @ 6:29pm

再次感谢作者

lilliesea  [author] Aug 26, 2024 @ 10:00pm 
@朝露歌 用中文沟通行吧?引用BPM任何一部分可以的,只要说明来源就行。还有就是这个程序有点复杂,我们可能需要仔细解释,愿意的话来加入我们的 Discord 以便合作

I am delighted with the cabinet feature!!
Once I thought that the game could release the feature. the mod does it!!
朝露歌 Aug 26, 2024 @ 12:12am 
Hello, I am the producer of the mod 《万众欢呼》. I really like the new cabinet system you added. I really want to apply for the right to use and modify the new system,“New Cabinet and Ministers feature”. I wonder if I can communicate with you.
This article is translated by Google. If there are any text errors caused by the translation, I am very sorry.

With added cabinets, next logical thing will be some "Competence" trait/modifier for characters to make cabinet creation a minigame where a player have to balance synergy and competence
