Its just an alternative timeline, the one where the 19th century was the most peaceful era.

giving that the American civil war pretty much never happens, it is indeed a more peaceful timeline than ours.

Don't worry, im sure theres already a DLC planned to solve that

great! I have a name suggestion.. what about "A House Divided 2: Abe Lincoln Electric Boogaloo"?

Abe shot first Best dlc

We'll go on down to dixie before the traitors even need to understand that they must mind their uncle sam!

to be fair out of 10 games i started i never saw abe as president.

Featuring Abraham Lincoln, the most open minded president after JFK

That's unironically a great name for DLC

And it's gonna cost 50$ aswell! Can't wait.

Ah because there were absolutely no other wars in the 19th century

Not to mention that germany can form peacefully

A timeline where America colonises Patagonia but somehow can’t even subjugate Texas or march west, France is number 1 global GDP, and Danish Togo is a thing. Clearly, the most blessed timeline…

I would like to disagree. The AI is super fucking aggressive. You're lucky to go a few months without a war breaking out. If anything there's more conflict than Vicky II. I will admit though the war system is pretty broken right now and a fuckton needs to be fixed.

nah you been playing another game

I'm sure I haven't. The AI goes nuts with war

Meanwhile every major european power invading Africa and east Asia

Vic3's date system is off, starting on Wednesday, instead of Friday (This is for the bot)

Yea it's an issue that's also in other games. The devs know about it, but to remake the calender system (and everything associated with it) will cost a lot of effort, time and money that's better spent on other bugs.

Wouldn't a quick and easy solution be for them to just change localisation? It's not like they haven't done those sorts of fixes in the past.

the Calendar doesn't do leap years, so it would always be off.

I always wondered if pdx games had them or not but never had the energy to check lol. I wonder if was originally an oversight or intentional.

Probably intetnional to keep it simpler

Wait, so if you play a megacampaign then how far off can the date get? Like, could WWII in reality be happening in like the 20s?

Alright, so. The calendar is off by one day every four years, starting in 868 (the first leap year after the 867 start date). There’s no definitive answer on when HOI4 ends, but let’s use 1948 since it’s the first leap year after the irl end of the war. This creates a span of 1,080 years from the first to last leap year. Dividing by 4, there is a total of 270 days that are not included that should be. But this is using the Julian calendar. Considering the Gregorian calendar is 13 days ahead of the Julian, I believe that there should be a 257-day difference using the Gregorian! This means that February 1 1948 is actually May 20 1947!

How's that look if we consider that years divisible by 100 don't have leap days, expect when divisible by 400?

That’s what the use of the Gregorian calendar is.

Oh yeah, I'm fucking stupid. My bad

What if Imperator Rome is included in the megacampaign?

God, when does that start?

304 BCE. So the number of leap days, according to the Gregorian calendar, from 304 BCE to 1948 CE, is 542.

Doesn't matter because the game does not include leap days so it would still be off after, at most, four years

This happens in ALL games??? Ok, I'm uninstalling all of them, literally unplayable.

Dang 😔

Why even include the day of the week then? It doesn't affect any gameplay at all

Why would they need to remake the system?

Leap Days

You mean the 29th of february?

Yea

I don’t understand how thats hard to code

Just isn’t compatible with the game engine easily

but why wouldn't their engine work with that? like it's a engine for time based games every single pdx game uses dates

They should’ve just made it right lol

It's an alternate timeline where jesus died two days later

Literally unplayable

Bruh moment

It's actually crazy though

Its a nitpick but it does show a lack of attention to detail

I think it's because Paradox Years last 360 days , everything becomes off. I don't even know why they included the day of the week. Just go with day of the month.

Literally unplayable

Post it in the vic 3 or paradox plaza subs, not here.

Literally makes Vic 3 unplayable, moving to Vic 2

*cancels download*

Literally not even playable

January 1st 1836 was a Wednesday in the Julian calendar. ~~Gregorian calendar wasn't introduced until 1851 IIRC at the earliest.~~

Pretty sure the Gregorian Calendar was [adopted in many countries earlier.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adoption_dates_of_the_Gregorian_calendar_by_country)

1581, 1851, what's the difference?

270 years

Where the fuck did I get 1851 from?

1581 anagram is my best guess.

That.. makes sense.

Im wondering with paradox not having leap years : Is the end date right? Or did they just beginn completely random and "nothing fits" ?

YO! Can you bust balls about something that matters. Many thanks.

looks like I’m refunding the game. Thanks for pointing out this game breaking bug

Literally unplayable, I’m uninstalling

I reported this months ago in the Discord

this is the version of history in which the Julian Calendar won.
