The Boers had the benefit of fighting on their home turf and using guerilla warfare tactics, something Victoria could never accurately simulate at its level of abstraction. The British had to employ concentration camps to win.

Yo
Did you dudes know that you can play as Anastasia in HOI4?
I thought it was really lame that No Step Back didn't include that as a monarchist option, since it's completely consistent with the Russia's batshit crazy history of impostors declaring themselves some dead royalty and launching rebellions (False Dmitri, Pugachev/Peter III).
Turns out it IS in the game, but is hidden as an option for monarchist Poland.
Also, Vicky 3's construction mechanics are bullshit, every new dev diary looks worse and worse.

Bro, that's the difference between a Decentralized Nation and an Unrecognized Nation. Your Ashantis and Zulus and Ethiopians and what not are going to be playable Unrecognized Nations...
I do think there needs to be more distinction between completely unorganized savages (like Aborigines) who couldn't even organize resistance versus peoples who have some semblance of order (like Comanches). But the Decentralized Nations are mostly just there to give some ability to shoot back when you colonize.
Only problem I have with it is they haven't said a word about a claims system, which it needs badly. There needs to be some way for "Recognized" nations to designate Decentralized territory as belonging to them, maybe even Unrecognized territory too, so that you can do things like a Berlin Conference or the British-American-Mexican territories (over land that was Indian territory at the time).

I finally fucking did it. Half a year of banging my head against a wall, praying to the tender mercies of RNJesus, learning from past mistakes.
IRON MAN BASILEUS
Under the wise leadership of the True Emperor of Rome and the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the infidel Muslims were purged from the Pentarchy of Gods holy church. Some claimed that mercy should have been shown to the Turks. But as God decreed to the people of Israel when he gave them the land of Canaan, you cannot share what is yours by divine right. Thus, the final solution to the Turkish question will be concluded soon. Some will claim we had no right to condemn hundreds of thousands of souls to the furnace. Those who understand know we had no right to let them live.
The source of the Muslim threat was also brought into the fold. The Emperor ordered the Kabbah to be utterly destroyed, its ground soaked in communal wine blessed by the Patriarch himself and a mighty cathedral raised in its place. Nobody knows what happened to the Meteorite that lay at the center Islams former holy site, but a stone was placed on the Imperial Crown, dead center, that seemed incongruent to the fine jewels around it due to its simplicity.
The Triumph of Byzantium over the Mamlukes and the Ottomans was not without consequences however.
'
This is the border that established the demilitarized zone following the war of the first coalition, where the Colonial Empires of Great Britain, Castile and Portugal attempted to maintain their dominion over the European Continent and the Mediterranean Sea in particular. This war started following the defeat of the Papal States and the Kingdom of Aragon after Byzantium very justly established control of the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, as well as the city of Naples itself, which had been held by the pope following Byzantium's noble intervention in the conflict between Castile, Aragon and Parma over control of the Kingdom of Naples nearly a century prior. While all of Southern Italy was properly returned to Roman rule, and the Neapolitans even being granted full citizenship, the heretic pope seized the capital of the region, Naples, for himself, which ultimately led to the war. While Triumphant, the Emperor at the time, conscious of the risk of provoking the Catholic great powers , refused to seize Rome itself contenting himself with Naples, Sicily and Sardinia.
Even so, a Coalition was formed against Constantinople by the Catholics that included the barbarian Timurid Horde and the Infidel Shiites of Iran who were outraged and the Seizure of Mecca and Alexandria. sensing the danger, the Emperor reached out to the Protestant King of France. By now Byzantium had enjoyed a centuries long alliance with the Protestant King of Poland, and assumed similar good will could be achieved with the French. After all, had not the Emperor wisely sided with the Protestant League during their war with the papacy? This alliance was indeed secured alliance against the Catholics of Great Britain, Portugal, and Castile. Content that the Castilians would not be so foolish as to risk a war with three of the mightiest nations on earth, he returned his focus to internal matters. Things such as giving Egyptians Citizenship and finishing the job of exterminating the Turkish culture from the world. This was no deterrence unfortunately and what followed was the largest war in human history with only the distant Ming being the sole Great Power not involved. The Timurids poured across the eastern frontiers of the Empire, rapidly overrunning the defenders of Damascus and Aleppo who had been running skeleton crews not expecting a war. Defenses were rapidly manned in Georgia and Azov, and while they held admirably, ultimately succumbed.
But Byzantium had learned hard lessons from its previous wars, and the Empire was protected by 30 strategically placed strongholds. Ignoring the threat of the Timurids for the moment, the imperial Army focused on the threat of Castile and the Pope. A series of brutal engagements raged up and down the Italian peninsula and North Africa. The Border post of Sirte would ultimately fall, but a Byzantine counterattack at the epic Battle of Benghazi would route the Castillan Army. With France in the war, the Italian States could not rely on Castilian support. Great Britain used its navy to force an invasion and draw off Byzantine forces. They landed an army of 50,000 soldiers at Ragusa. But the British Army was not of the same caliber as their Navy and this force was destroyed by 3rd and 4th legions. Meanwhile, in Italy the 1st, 2nd and 5th legions soundly defeated a joint offensive of the Pope, Savoy, Parma and Venice at the battle of Urbino aided by Polish and Lithuanian forces. This set the stage for the siege of Rome and the cities capture.
Freed from conflict in Italy, the Emperor ordered his legions into France, even while sacrificing the brave defenders of the Caucuses and the Levant to the Timurids. By now the 6th Legion in Anatolia and the 7th in Egypt were cut off from the Empire by the combined fleet of Castile and Britain who had destroyed the Byzantine navy off the coast of Corfu. Even so, the 6th managed to hold the critical fortress at Justiniapolis and destroy three entire Iranian Armies, and one Timurid Army that had gotten around the fort through the northern passage. In Africa, the 7th Legion was defeated at Sirte, but while the fortress bought time they recruited thousands of Egyptians to their banner and at the battle of Benghazi 30,000 Byzantines executed a brutal Defeat in Detail of 60,000 Castilians.
By now the situation was dire. The Coalition had seized a third of the Byzantine Empire, mostly in the East, and France was on the ropes. Portugal had Captured Paris at about the same time Byzantium had seized Rome, but the arrival of the Emperors legions came at an opportune moment. Over a hundred thousand Byzantine soldiers crashed into the Coalition Armies that had spread themselves all across France. This is where the Castilian strategy began to fail. The bulk of their Army was dedicated to trying to break through the defense lines on the common border at Sirte and Alexandria, so as to link up with the Timurid Horde and drive for the Bosporus. The failure of the Castilians to take Alexandria and the Timurids to take Justiniapolis meant this joining of forces could not take place. They also could not seize the economy heartland of the Empire where the bulk of the manufacturing and tax base lay. Worse, the French Army remained in the field, even if it had lost Paris. Bolstered with reinforcements from Italy by the Byzantines, the Portuguese, British and Aragonese forces rapidly crumbled and within one year Barcelona and Toledo had fallen to Byzantium. 6 months later, Byzantine Legions had reached Porto, and the Prince of Portugal requested peace with no conditions. Great Britain followed having had its entire land force annihilated in a failed invasion of the Balkans and in France. Venice too was knocked out of the war by Poland, who while failing to capture the city proper had seized everything else. The Papal States, Eastern Hordes and Castile were now alone, and with half of Castile, included their capital now in Imperial hands the writing was on the wall. Castile agreed to pay war reparations, the ceding of the entirety of the Papal States to Byzantium, and Great Power humiliation.
560,000 casualties on the Byzantine Side, 1.1 Million casualties on the Castilian side. Thousands of Troops from Asia, North America and South America were even brought into the conflict, with an entire Army of people who claimed they had come from a place called "California" being captured by incredulous imperial soldiers outside Porto. The greatest loss of life in human history, may God never allow its like again.
This victory set the stage for the final act of the play. Venice was stripped of its critical alliance with Castile as part of the terms of the Castilian Surrender. The Emperor was after all playing a long game, and one of the objectives of that game was showing the merchants of Venice that the price of Gold is is denominated in Blood. Venice was all too aware of this situation however, and with Byzantium still busy reestablishing the Pentarchy of declaring an end to the schism with the Patriarchate of Rome. Venice managed to organize a new coalition, this time made up of the German Principalities. While Castile, Portugal and Britain were willing to wash their hands of the Mediterranean and go back to focusing on their global trading empires. The destruction of the British Army and the humiliation of Castile has severe consequences. The men who had surrendered to the 2nd Legion at Porto ultimately went home to their "california" with stories of the world beyond their colonial backwater and the weakness of their masters. Brazil and Mexico would declare independence in 1710, triggering a great power war in the western hemisphere. The colonial powers washed their hands of Europe.
The false Roman Emperor in Anhalt had not. This German Upstart, backed by the powerful Kingdom of Bohemia and the Swiss Republic, forbade further encroachment of the True Roman Empire into the North. Especially into the territory of Venice. The Emperor was not to be deterred and in 1702 declared war on the Swiss Republic for its stubborn insistence on blocking the way to the hated Venetians. This was a war between the so Called "Holy Roman Empire" which was neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire and the True Empire. And it was Brutal. Especially since this time Byzantium did it alone with all other great powers watching from afar.
In the end, Byzantium prevailed, and while not as costly in human lives as what some have dubbed "the First World War" the war between True Rome, and Holy Rome was just as Brutal, and led to the sacking of Vienna by Imperial Soldiers, and a vicious back and forth in the Balkans. Ultimately however, the Swiss and the Venetians were isolated and in the end Emperor Capitulated.
The Doge of Venice was brought back to Constaninople where the Emperor himself led a classic era imperial triumph down the main street to the Hagia Sophia, where the Doge was asked to repent for his sins and the sins of his city before the Patriarch. While he begged most unmanly, the Patriarch refused to accept his repetence and instead consigned him to God. The Doge was taken out of the city to a hill overlooking the Bosporus where the men of the 4th Crusade had landed and was promptly impaled through his ass on a spike in Wallachian fashion.
The great luminaries of that city were given no such ceremony. Anyone with "citizenship" in that den of vipers, and how wonderful that they kept such meticulous records, were unceremoniously dragged out from their mansions into the streets and shot out of hand. Their bodies thrown into the Canals. The looted treasured of Byzantium were reclaimed and returned to their rightful place, along with many other new treasures of the Italian Renaissance that were deemed acceptable. Centuries of war and betrayal do things to a people.
The year is now 1713, and I am kinda at a loss of what do now. I have about 100 years left in the Ironman and the only two missions left are "unite the home region" and "restore the roman empire". The latter is totally undoable in 100 years I think. Britain and Castile have huge colonial empires at this point. The former is doable, but it would mean war with Poland, who have been total bros this entire time thanks to them holding literally ONE province I need to complete that mission. I could probably take them, but it would totally ruin the story.
My one regret in this is the Russkies, my fellow Orthodox. But they were so fucking insistent that THEY were the Third Rome and had an irrational need to constantly fucking invade Crimea. A place that I had retaken control of in the 15th fucking century. Jesus Christ take a hint! But no . They did not take the hint. Admirable. But foolish. What is WITH Russia and their suicidal need for Crimea. Its literally nothing by Salt, Tatars and a shitty port. Its not worth it bros!

The Byzantines are actually a lot of fun once you finally manage to remove the kebab. Deleting the ottomans makes fucky stuff happen in the game that you don't normally see.

True facts. World wars are usually the province of Hearts of Iron, but Byzantium surviving and becoming a great power leads to world wars as well.
It's sort of left out of the story because it's so fucking silly, but I actually gained an alliance with Ethiopia, and the mamluke rump state gained Colonies in Malaysia and Australia. One of the battles of the "first world war" was the Battle of Queensland between the Mamlukes and the Ethiopians. Which the Ethiopians won and promptly handed over to me. Byzantium got to control fucking Sydney for a few years after it got handed over by Ethiopians because the Mamlukes moved their capital to Australia after Byzantium took Cairo but their Rival Ethiopia could still reach it.
The game really needs some "if then but" scripts for AI behavior. The Goths and the Pontics are critical objectives for Byzantiun. But if you get them you are guaranteed a century at least of war with Muscovy. I would have liked nothing better then to show the Lithuanians the business, but for some Reason Russia was more interested in attacking me then them.

I've decided what my self made goal is for the last 100 years. It's repugnant that there is this thing called "the holy Roman Empire".
The Germans need to be put back in their proper place.

I'm surprise (from what I can tell) Paradox interactive hasn't made any major statements on the situation on Ukraine nor try to unplug their games in Russia.
Because they seem to be the kind of company that would do something like that.

Traditionally, the easiest way to erase France is to dogpile them until they get into a stability death spiral with rebels. Force them to release nations, don't take land unnecessarily to keep AE low and use Austria's superior manpower to absorb their deathstacks. Even with all their traditional enemies allied against them, the BBB is fucking resilient with all the buffs they have till like the 16th-17th century, but it's very doable even as Burgundy.

Might be a new thing; I know back in 1.03 ish there wasn't any such mission. Not saying Burgundy is difficult mind; you're quite uniquely placed in the flemish areas that you get both a really good trade node and really good real estate. Since the player is immune to the inheritance event, so long you don't piss off Austria (not easy, given you occupy HRE lands) and make sure to beat down France, its basically a smooth ride otherwise.

Savescuming for 3 hours straight in Victoria 2 after dismantling the UK while playing as Japan to get Malaysia and Burma as colonial territories is raising my blood pressure and made yesterday's afternoon hell. I get that this is a mod feature done by the HPM/HFM devs but holy shit, how did paradox not think to include a proper warscore contribution system in their game? I literaly sieged down all of india, malaysia and Russia up to the Ural mountains (they weren't a GP because I triggered WWI on them and dismantled Russia before, coincidentally I got nothing during Russia and France's (Their GP ally) dismantlement which just makes me even more pissed).
People complain about HOI4 and the treaty system over there but they don't know how much bullshit it is on Vicky 2, too bad paradox is going to fuck with warfare on Vicky 3 so I suspect it might turn even worse.
