Grand Strategy Games

If you could, give me a list of the affected countries, for me the one that's always messed up is Futa Jallon.

La Plata

Aiming for the achievement to own entire Africa. Any suggestions?

Make sure it’s full of only your primary culture.

Convert all of it to shintoism.

La Plata is white and based

So far i havent been able to declare war with GCO, greece, serbia and imperial japan.

Also, with greece i get a glitch after 1850 in wich crisis fails to start up, the tension reaches 99 all over the world (mostly poland and te balkans) and then just goes back to zero without even kickstarting the crisis event.

I hate culture conversion mechanic in vanilla EU4 but then again I hate almost everything with monarch points slapped on as abstraction

My current religion is Fetishism (didnät take option to convert into catholicism from event) so this wouldn't be even THAT impossible.

Forgot to take up-to-date screenshot but essentially Aragon somehow started independence war against Castille (which also has Austria as junior partner) and I took three Castillian trade company provinces blocking me from West African Coast and I started blobbing into Songhai&Friends. Also got event notifying that Holy Roman Emperor ruling from Brandenburg crushed Reformation and declared Catholicism one true faith of the HRE. Also Portugal's state religion is Sunni because Morocco conquered most of their mainland and converted it to Islam before Castille-backed Reconquista.

Reported.

That's odd. Are you using HFM 1.27a along with any other mods?

HFM 1.27a and the latest version of user edits.
My vicky version is 3.03.

TODAY I WILL REMIND THEM
Ottomans are fair and balanced.

I bet you think Erdogan is based too.

Get ready for Ottoman Empire 2.0 m8, Paradox buffs soon, allah bless S(omalia)weden.

Just how fucked is the peace AI in Rome?

It's not only Rome AI. That's normal for all Paradox Games. Unless AI has zero troops and their war exhaustion is sky high they won't sign peace.

That mememod isn't compatible with 3.03

Yes it is, its what ive been using up to this point and it worked perfectly before the last update of both the mod and user edits.

They had maximum war exhaustion for a decade and were in four wars at some point.

Well, I guess AI still thinks it can win the war.

It isn't. Just because you can start it doesn't mean its compatible.

Ive been using it for months though with no problem, ive only been gettingproblems since last update.

That still doesn't make it compatible. There are major differences between the patches, 3.03 mods can work fine with 3.04 but not the other way around.

GERMAN BULLY NOT SO TOUGH AFTER GETTING RAPED

Generally you can't get more than 10% more than the warscore (so for 35% you can't get more than 45%, and that's a low chance against a heavily punished enemy). Also it's random, offer a few times in a row.

I think the modifiers that give bonuses/penalties to diplomatic actions affects their chances of accepting. Also if you get to the point where the AI will suffer a stability hit from refusing you can always hit them to -3 stability and then they can't refuse.

so what is good starting nation for a noob in darkest hour? USA and germany? what about start date?

Germoneyblob is always good. You can also try Italy or Spain to get used to the UI and controls on a smaller scale. Playing as burgers, or the USSR will get you overwhelmed by the sheer size of shit you have to manage. Playing as a minor country like Grease will have you either falling asleep or getting steamrolled by your bigger neighbors. Playing Navy heavy countries like the bongs is also kind of a pain because navies are pretty glitchy and hard to manage imo.

CHECKED AND HEILED

Develop forts on the coastline as soon as it gets to the age of colonization.

White and based

Your envy is showing

What are the recommended DLCs for Europa Universalis?

Enough of them to get MEIOU 2.0 working.

Do USA or SU since you'll be overwhelmed with the number of options.

There's 2 good dlcs: One is uninstall.exe and the second one is pic related.

Anyone have current CKII+ or Nova Monumenta Iaponiae Historica?

There should be a Lord of the Rings grand strategy game. Imagine a game with the races, factions, religions, major historical events, and leaders all taken from the 12-volume History of Middle Earth books as if they were history books, playing as a grand strategy. It's really the best possible genre for the series.

...

Someone in the last thread advised to install the two Rome mods in separate installation directories, how would that work? Won't the saves for example all end up in the same file?

Make a copy of the entire rome folder and only use that copy for one mod.

e.g. my folders are:

EU:Rome
EU:Rome Magna Terra
EU:Rome RotA

CMON

Why did they use the turkic pronunciation of Gavras? That's fucking stupid.

Anyone has this steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1234840771 mod?
Can't download with steamworkshopdownloader and I came here to beg.

For the same reason they keep over-buffing the Ottoman Empire, I imagine.

Ooga booga hluldlu gluldlu osmanoglu

...

Crimea (in the area of "Gothia ") and survived until conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1475. The southern Crimea had been part of the Byzantine Empire until the late 12th century, and then came under the control of the Empire of Trebizond for a generation, but retained close links with the Pontic coast long after. While several hypotheses have been put forward as to how, when, and which branch of the Gabrades relocated there, none can be conclusively proven. The first Gabras of Theodoro to be mentioned is Stephen ("Stepan Vasilyevich Khovra"), prince of Gothia, who emigrated to Moscow in 1391 or 1402 along with his son Gregory.
It's a Russian pronunciation.
greekhistoryandprehistory.blogspot.si/2017/05/the-history-of-gabras-byzantine-noble.html

B-But wikipedia said Chowra was the kipchak pronunciation!

What a weird game. I've never seen the alternative ACW happen before, and looks like one of the Indian minors managed to demand the British retreat from India.

Germany is piss easy and lets you learn economy and land stuff
Italy can teach you the basics of managing proper naval fleets

Can someone upload an updated Extended Timeline mod for EU IV? One in the mega only supports 1.13.

I thought I was the only person who would consider playing Finland in HPM.

As it should be.

This game of Theodoro made me a religious man.
Jesus if I didn't have Hungry or Muscowy I'd be dead already.
The kebab vassal state is my buffer against Ottos so they don't Invade with their mission belli.

I'm seriously considering to make a small Anons edits for M&T removing all the stupid earlygame ottoshit op buffs (you know the +25discipline, 40%morale, 50% manpower mod, the works)

Please do. It's isn't even funny at this point.

can you form BYZ as theodoro?

Angry brown detected.

...

Yep every Greek culture group can.

I thought about it, but then I realized you can't do shit as the finns except have fucked borders and colonize africa. It's boring.

Just showing off some kangz

Rotating map is the coolest shit.

Showing off Asia in case anyone wants to see how it looks in Magna Terra after 50 years.

It really is, not sure why modern Paradox games don't allow it.

Think we could get Parajews to do this by pretending to be enraged Aussies complaining about having to use a north-up map, which as everybody knows is a clear microagression from the imperialist europeans?

No, because Aussies are white and are inherently the oppressors. You’d have to pretend to be niggers or spics.

Easy, we'd pretend to be Abbos

I don't play shit mods :^)

Will the kebab golem get him and drag him to death?
Or will he force march his army into the safe embrace of their beloved kin?
What do you think user?

Haven't played EU4 in a year or so, but how is the new DLC? Good?

Whaddaya think?

...

hmmmmm, realy makes you think

why does this look like eu3 roblox edition

I want to fucking kill every single one of these retards buying this shit

Let the modders do the rest of the job properly.

as always

Got HoI4, and I've got a handle on it broadly speaking, but anyone got tips (especially for the division compositions and battle-plan-painting?)
I keep getting pockets form and then the fuckwit general posting dozens of divisions around it to keep them company rather than steamrolling the cut off groups.

If anyone cares, the final map of my very first game; the final borders in the Italian-Romanian war of ~ 1938 to 1963.

micro manage the pockets, use infantry to keep baraging the pocketed divisions, best use for plans is to have a full frontile on inftantry and tanks/motorized oporating on different plans

Man trying to form a Germany via SGF from Bavaria is fucking hard in HPM. Probably one of the most intense game I've had sofar and I'm only in 1870.

playing the aztecs is soooooooooooo much fun

Abbos are too stupid to use computers; they’d never fall for that. They’re so far genetically removed from our species that even liberals behave as though they’re not human.

Did you not reform religion?

Give em pain

Natives in vanilla are for being curbstomped.

Weirdest thing happened, was playing the WW1 scenario, Darkest hour on wine if it matters and WW1 never happened. I played until 1916 but still nothing.

That can happen, it's just extremely unlikely.

Interesting. Use infantry for front advancement and armour/motorised for spearheads?

That must be one non-Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas faggots, may many t*rks die in this upcoming year.

Maybe Erdogan will declare war on Israel over Jerusalem so Turks and kikes both destroy each other. After that Jerusalem will finally return to its rightful Zoroastrian owners.

If he does that, he'd be based

Argentina will never be white
Turks will never be based
Jews will not be wiped out in 2018
Merry Christmas.

HOI4 looks interesting, I've been wanting to give it a go for years now but everybody keeps saying it's shit. I pirated it when it first came out and was kinda meh, everything was really simplified, but with mods I reckon it could be pretty fun to fuck around with.

You recommend I pick it up while the sale is still on?

How often do we have to tell you idiots: HOI4 is a meme game. If you want the experience you might as well watch ISP.

It's one title away from a finger drag tablet game that is so casualized in comparison to DHthe high water mark that's it's insulting.
It's best described as a little more complicated flash 4x game where history and it's parameters mean jack shit. BELIEVABLE WORLDS
Whenever I hear HoI4 I hear that little shithead repeating in my head: "Who the fuck is Rommel?"

Make it 2019.

Huh, that's pretty funny.

Same thing happened to me, was playing HOI3 as Italy, I never joined the Axis because fuck that I'm not ready for war. The year finally got to around mid 60s IIRC before the game slowed down until it was completely unplayable, but then again I was using a laptop but it might have just been a bad engine thing.

What American White Nationalist/National Socialist group had the best flag? I'm going to mod it into CWE.

That's because HOI4 isn't made for the depth that HOI3 or Darkest Hour originally covered. It's a guilty pleasure of mine but I fully agree that it's not exactly a full grand strat experience, instead it's something you play for memes like says since you can pull off incredibly retarded shit that's so nonsensical it's sort of funny, the mods that tweak the AI's behavior can elevate the retarded bullshit to inhuman levels. Also, prepare to be incredibly annoyed when making allies or puppeting states because the AI has absolutely no regards for the infrastructure/supply mechanic and they will slow your advances to a fucking crawl while getting an extreme penalty to the green mana, aka organization.

Not National Socialism but British Fascism. I really like this flag.

>>>/cuckchan/
When will they ever learn?

Yeah, I know you're from fucking cuckchan. Go fuck with their /gsg/, cuckold.

Argentina is based
Turks are white

Has MEIOU updated yet? I refuse to play vanilla until they fire Jake.

Y tho.

Nice one imkampfy.

More like fixing the bullshit by letting the bullshitter go.

Hey guys! I am looking at the other mods for Darkest Hour, and I am looking at that Anomia mod. Has anyone played it? Is it any good?

I'm all for fixing the retarded Paradox design but these megamods always always always come with a heap of different retarded design ideas. The key is LESS pointless mechanics, not more.

Oh ok, you're talking about MEIOU. I mostly enjoy its map and events, I agree some of the changes on it are overkill.

I never played it, but reading its premise it doesn't seem something that would work very well on Hearts of Iron. I could be wrong though.

I love British Fascism too, but it wouldn't make much sense to use their flag for the USA…

just use this mod steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=853874598

How to cheese forming Italy in Victoria 2 HoD?
I occupied the shit out of Two Sicilies as Sardinia-Piedmont but even after 3 years no rebels.

danke schöne

I just wish somebody went and redid the shit-tier conversion mechanic from Dei Gratia that they use. It's the most tedious, annoying shit imaginable. After you get big enough, all you do is organise pogroms that will only massacre about 10% of an infidel of a particular religion, but will have you play whackamole for 10 years to suppress the uprising. And you need to do this three or four times to fully clear a province of just ONE religious minority. I'm all for making rooting out heretics harder, but this shit isn't difficult, it's just a tedious, boring slog that takes fucking forever

Why does Kaiserreich feel like playing a gommies wet dream?

Because kaiserreich is made by commies. Not joking or anything, they are unironical marxists

...

...

As that user noted, the team is comprised of Marxists and those in the Marxian sphere. They're Syndies. Which in retrospect is likely why the Syndies tear shit up if they aren't nipped in the bud, and not out of good faith in their role being the Hitlerian Germany-&-friends analogue of a losing power itching for revanchism against a hawkish but complacent victor and its spherelings.

Did they really go full Paradox & nerf Greece to spite Megali enthusiasts? I'd be rather interested to know their reasoning.

Greece gets the short end of the stick with practically zero flavour and shit-tier IC and everything. If you annex Bulgaria and Turkey, you get some national cores for the Megali idea, but it's bugged and you never get a core one of the bulgarian provinces near thrace, so your country will end up split unless you manually put a claim there (hilariously, the province in question is part of today's greece, which shows about how much attention they paid to greece).

They also seem to be hilariously triggered by the idea of Byzantium reborn any time it's mentioned, pic related is one of the more recent times. Despite their mod featuring restoration of the fucking mongolian empire and similar zany shit, any talk of BYZ is strictly verboten

Does anyone have a non mega version of the latest KR for Hoi4? I can't download over 300mb in mega for some reason.

Install the mega plugin. Uninstall HoI4.

Rate this China.

Did CWE stop railroading the PRC to win and break everything in the process?

I don't get the appeal of Kaisserich. The world just seems retarded.

Is this just a start date?

You missed Korea

Absolutely disgusting.

I had it on my wishlist and my friend bought it for me for Christmas

I got an event to declare war on PRoC and tried to fuck their shit up as much as possible until the game forced me to peace out. The RoC started to turn the tables after that, but the PRoC was still technically winning when the war suddenly ended inexplicably.
I've played the USA and both Chinas before in older versions and never witnessed these events so I suppose the answer is most likely "yes."

What are you even asking? It's CWE, a mod.

I just wanted to get rid of that 10% Korean demographic tbh

Remind me, was it Magna Mundi or another EU3 mod where if you play as the peasants and win the war in the German Peasants War you could form a proto-commie people's republic because the mod maker had a huge boner for leftism?

Which one is a better commie removal simulator? KR or Red World?

...

Red World.
Beating the whole of Commie Europe with the British Empire felt good.

On the topic of EU3, what are the recommended mods for it and how would I go about procuring Magna Mundi? Every link I found points to the paradox forums which requires a key.

DAO+Miscmods is a great one. Magna Mundi isn't really worth it.

I guess those two are in the archive. Well I wanted to try Magna Mundi out at least, if you have forum access I'd appreciate it if you could grab it for us. In any case I'll try those two out, thanks.

mediafire.com/file/ztotc1a2hueoe2a/Magna Mundi DW - Beta 3.7.0 - Complete Version.rar

I think that's the latest version. You gotta use a memory patch on the EU3 exe to allow it to use more than 2GB of ram first though. ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php

What do DAO and miscmods add? Why should one download them?

DAO's a map mod, miscmods adds this stuff eu3.paradoxwikis.com/MiscMods#Features, its not a big overhaul but adds some interesting enough things. It also has some alternate story scenarios like one where Europe's a wasteland and one were the crusaders states managed to throw islam back into Arabia.

KR for curbstomping the reds; a player controlled Germany can smash them aside with little effort.
Red World for if you want an actual challenge as it means going up against the USSR and damn near all of europe.

Had a friend work on the DH version, he said some of the hoi4 devs are turks.

To be fair, HOI4 KR isn't as easy as DH. After the Syndies invaded through Switzerland, I ended up holding them along the Rhine and in Bavaria for half a year, after a couple of months of fighting retreats, until I began to dismantle them by pinning them against the Austrian border and then pushing them back to the Rhine and Alps. I might have been done for if they went through the Netherlands as well. I got hard as a rock watching them collapse from my Rhine counter-offensive.

The easiest way to beat the Syndies is to play as Spain, ally with Germany, and build forts on the Pyrenees; guaranteed to slaughter the reds in the hundreds of thousands

I wanna get into this genre but I dont have the patience

Just get Italy/Austria into the alliance and unite their own countries and you practically win against France via manpower drain alone. They'll last for a year or so by just standing your ground.
A.) Italy gives you a wide front on a not-so-fortified border
B.) Austria churns out a lot of army
TBH you can win as Germany alone if you go for the blitzkrieg tech. France is incompetent as ever and even with 40% dissent in Germany they can't win.

But yeah KR is a commie's wet dream. Every country of worth gets a commie rebellion that succeeds 3/4 of the time.
The USA ones get the industrial core and roll over the South.
Russia gets a second commie revolution in the same goddamn place. One would think they completely purged the country when the first one ended.
Spain get two rebellions so the central government falls for sure.
Italy already has commies in the AGRARIAN south which is completely illogical.

Because it is, dev team is full of commies

Would it be insulting for them if I play a soviet russia but politically bamboozle it to turn it fascist?

Apparently it would be far more insulting to them if you recreated Byzantium.
Also; the Arab Axis is going to be more or less removed from the mod now; Egypt isn't even going to be Pan-Arabist

What a shame, what they plan to do with ME now?

You can turn Russia into national populist with Wrangler event tree with is pretty good, when you get rolling in 1939 and sort out internal affairs you are an unstoppable machine in KR

Boy I've lots of work to do, don't expect user's HFM edits to be updated anytime soon.

Why you byzboos cant just let it go?
Byzantium was shit tier, and why the fuck it would reemerge after over 500 years of non existance?
Not to mention that Byzantium had no national identity so why the fuck would greeks want to revive it?

Pretty much all of the ME is going to be under Ottoman influence, pic related, seems the challenge of the Ottomans now is keeping your puppets under control while fending off Persian expansionism.

KR dev please go

For one thing it's fun.
Additionally, it is not entirely without precedent (the idea at least). Supposedly, the Tsar of Bulgaria planned to crown himself Byzantine Emperor if/when they took Constantinople from the Turks.

thinkan emojo/10

Just like Ottoman Sultan and Russian Tzar claimed the tittle?

...

I know that grand strat is about harnessing autistic powers to play games with lots of detail in them, but not only is this an alternate history mod, it's an alternate history mod for HOI4, a game that takes BELIEVABLE WORLDS to the next level even without mods, if we're at such extremes, why not let byzantium slide? And this isn't me saying "lmao just take away the history xdd" because I also like my historically accurate experiences, it's just that in the context of the memery that is HOI4, I just decide to roll with it.

The reason behind no Byzantium probably lies with the fact that KR is supposed to be a serious setting. If you want real memery play Red World, reforming Italy from communist shithole in to a Fascist Theocracy under the pope and calling a crusade to all nationalist nations is fun

Fresh off the meme oven

Can't believe i forgot a crucial part.

What is up with leftists and their hate boner for BYZ?
I seriusly do not understand, of all the nations to hate, why hate one that didnt even live to see any kind of actual capitalism?

...

Because right wingers like it, because its anti-EU.

I'm new to HOI. I got HOI II due to it being cheap during GOG's holiday sale.Then I noticed that Darkest Hour was the one I should of started on supposedly to the OP's Pic. Should I get Darkest Hour or will HOI II still be a good starter game?

Darkest Hour is just an improvement of Hoi2 that has all of the mods.

Well who else does apart from turks and back in the day the HRE?

That's actually really nice, good job user.

pretty much this,, also darkest hour has existing moding community

Me

venetians, aka. jews

Oh boy, the butthurt t*rk is back.

noice, you could transorm more of the 56 meme

Actually im an easter european

And Charles the 5th from spain.

To this day they still have in their folk culture that constantinos XI turned into a marble statue and will return if the empire is restored.

Where did this thing of buffing the ottomans came from anyway? Is the Sweden YES meme too real and paradox just puts it on their patches or what?

Butthurt byzboos cant handle historical accuracy

Yes.

The only explanation at this point is hateboner at byzantium and autists reforming the roman empire, since at every update they try to fuck up the previus version's strategy to survive the first war against the turks.

Probably a combo of swebenYES, leftist cuckoldry, devs sucking t*rk phalluses and a spite for the Eastern Roman Empire because most of their playerbase actually enjoys playing as them.

Don't make me make another 56% edit imkampfy.

Why is an American wearing a Turkroach shirt?

reminder that you can reform the mongolian empire in Kaiserreich. How's that for historical plausibility?

I think it's Paradox trying to make sure turks get their empire that then threatens europe and grabs most of middle east, but it's just so retarded. Vanilla starting date already has roaches with a decently-sized empire that would likely do well even without additional buffs, and the amount of advantages Ottomans get is unparalleled. Not to mention they gets buffs every update, even when the update targets fucking Japan. At this point, I think it's safe to assume that Johan has a turkish bf who only puts out if roaches get buffed.

Nice try mehmet suleimanowski

Its pretty plausible since Mad Baron had a large following amount Mongol tribes, converted to Buddhism and wanted to become reincarnation of Genghis Khan

...

Then how is it not possible that a monarchist greece having retaken constantinople and fulfilled the megalli idea wanted to larp as BYZ?

Because nobody wanted it not even greek themselves.
Find me at least one greek person in some kind of higher office or with some kind of popular support that advocated for establishing byz empire

Thats a popular greek myth about constantine XI, the greeks see the byzantines as their past, stop pretending it was an artificial state irrelevant to the world and that noone cared about.

And? Since when national legends and folk tales count as political ideas or represent the will of the people?
Stop pretending it wasnt

find me at least one mongolian person in some kind of higher office or with some kind of popular support that advocated for pillaging the land and coqnuering China

Nigger fuck off.

There is no such thing as a German. Just Bavarian/Saxon/Rhinelander/Branderburgian mutts, nowadays with some Turks added in

Masters of the World - Geopolitical Simulator
it's shit

In Kaiserreich, if I didn't miss anything, communist revolution takes/already took place in

Why do kaiserniggers have such a morbid fascination with violent communist rebellions and civil wars? IRL they had 'success' only once and directly led to over 10 million dead, complete destruction of Russia and a whole generation of orphaned children who literally had to whore themselves out to get by. The last thing you'd want in your country is a full-scale civil war as in Spain or Russia; nothing is more destructive than that.

Also any other red revolution in the world only succedded with massive Soviet help and/or American (((incompetence))), see China and Vietnam. Commie revolution in the US during peacetime with no meaningful resistance put up is just stupidly retarded and insulting.

fagit

Because they are literally commies. The world that they created is completely unrealistic from a political point of view, together with the "syndicalist" movement. They actually don't know how politics work or how the people are motivated to start revolutions.

Enlighten me please what motivates people to start revolutions

Is that image for ants?

Kikes sweet-talking drones into doing their bidding.

The Jew

you forgot Chile, and that one doesnt make any sense

As opposed to Germany invading Russia and China while ignoring commie France? Not a whole lot in KR makes any sense.

Does make some sense if you assume that military planners believe that France vs. Germany becomes a WW1-style stalemate.

I also forgot about
CENTROAFRIKA.
Poor, oppressed, illiterate blacks somehow defeating the strongest empire in the world and forming a strong Pan-African nation, despite the numerous cultural and linguistical differences not to mention that they are niggers just shows how enormous cocksuckers the devs are. Also I think South Africa can go into a civil war too over the apartheid.

Fair point, but revolutions don't happen overnight and as a Kaiser I wouldn't let any country, especially not my recently defeated rival, turn into a communist shithole under my watch. According to the backstory, the Germans actively supported and armed the whites in the Russian civil war against the Bolshevists. Don't know why wouldn't they do the same with the French and the Italians.

i love polish child
the poor babby is fucked for life though

is this mod fun/good?

Prestige-spam is much more advisable, especially with S-P or 2S. Also reaching GP status with prestige and railroads early on and influencing all the minors + fabricating on Austria rather than fabricating on all of them is much faster.

No, not really. The South would be extremely industrialized for the time period and outside of local pre-unification crime syndicates and poverty stricken peddlers life was pretty damn good. If you were in Austrian occupied North you would get to experience free market in a way that wasn't really as viable to the rest of Europe, if you lived in Corsica or Sardinia you were safe from pretty much anyone because no one but Francophones would give a shit about you as a holiday resort, anywhere within Northern-Central Italy was as poor as the average European country.

Niggers: "oogabooga I need gibs why does whitey have moneys and I don't?"
Kikes: "if you join my army you will get lots of money and can rape as many women as you want"
*revolution happens and most whites die*
Nigger: "oogabooga mr. Goldstein where are the moneys?"
Kike: "shut the fuck up and get back to working in the factory, stupid goyim"

I wonder when whites die out and only niggers and kikes remain, what will happen? will the blacks chimp out or the kikes will manage to control them?

la creatura….

It will be like the Indo-European Dark Ages all over again.

i dont think that even the kike can control the nigre, since he is not human

So your a turk?

Why even call that WW3 why not just call it commies get curb stomped?

What the fuck are you talking about? If the revolt happens in MittleAfrika, a German colony, the first thing the niggers do is slaughter each other and try to grab as much land as possible.
Has less to do with Apartheid and more with Pro-British sentiments VS Pro-German sentiments
Happened DURING WW1, when Paris fell the marxists where already on a general strike with a second army mutiny on the horizon- it's fall gave them enough support to overthrow the gov and make peace with Germany.

I got nothing, it would have been far more likely for them to go Nationalistic, if they had a revolution to begin with, probably made Syndie to give France a ally who isn't shit
The US did not enter WW1 and because of the Entente's defeat they lost billions, combine this with the Great Depression AND Black Monday and the USA is in shambles- and the civil war can still be prevented. What's REALLY bullshit is how you only need to kill the nationalists leadership, commies are never satisfied
Is bullshit, and apparently they are going to change it to a bunch of different states, similar to how Italy looked before uniting.
Hilariously easy to avoid, and they had Commies elected IRL.
I'm with you on that one, is the White army had succeeded they would have killed every last Red they could find. Soviets are only around because the devs are shit at politics and they wanted something to keep Russia on it's toes.
And the rest of the Caucasus broke off too, no idea why they made Georgia go red except for a minor joke about Stalin
The USA went full neutral, no interfering with the Mexican revolution. Makes no sense at all, especially because there were no counter revs against it.
I know nothing about these countries, but it's probably bullshit
Does not start off commie and technically has only a 1/4 chance to go red
See Central America
Is in a three way civil war, but it is really suspicious that they have the best army of the three of them.
Burmese monarchy a shit and have a neighbor who is Syndie.
Not really, most of the time they join the Entente or go neutral, at least from what I've seen
Now this one is utter bullshit right here, the rev is so weak that it can can only happen if both France and the Brits back it and the Kaiser just sits there and does NOTHING? Fuck right off.
Yeah that one really makes no sense, a monarch inviting a communist into his government? Who the fuck is this stupid?
None of this is getting in to the shit like Mussolini and Mosely being commies, a crime organization taking over a government completely, and France thinking it can get away with threatening Switzerland.

NWO (and NWO+CWE, which is the most updated version) doesn’t ever show puppets on the top level. I think that’s how vanilla Vicky does it, too. If you hover over the USSR flag, it will say “and its puppets: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.” so the entire communist bloc will be at war, too.

In my option, Nigers are;t humans: my explanation:

4. culture of kill.

Thats why Totalist Mosley route is the best for Britain

But the funny thing is that they AREN'T Communists. Mussolini was part of a Socialist party before getting kicked out due to his nationalistic leaning. Totalism as an ideology in Kaiserreich is literally just National Socialism-lite, with a red coat of paint. That's why everyone in Britain groans whenever Mosely steps up to the plate because they know he's the farthest right-leaning from the party line.

Have another one

So Totalism is just the devs way of using Horseshoe Theory

Totalism, IIRC, is totalitarian socialism. It's closer to Stalinism than anything else.

I don't really view it like that but that's certainly a way to rationalize it. I more or less view it as Mussolini and Mosley adapting their beliefs to fit the current political climant as a way to sell it to the masses.

Like all political systems in HOI4, the actual policy depends more on the person leading the country rather than the name itself. I'm sure Iron Guard Romania is very different from National-Populist Italy, and yet they share the same ideology name.

To be fair I imagine if the jews didn't managed to destroy Russia like intended they'd go full Samson Option and start shit everywhere at once, which is basically what happened in the Kaiserreich timeline.

Good explanation. So most of it really makes no sense. In my games Africa usually joins the Internationale and somehow destroys National France and South Africa, probably with COF support. My RNG must be broken, because I've only seen a right-wing Brazil twice, but socialist Norway a countless times.

The US Civil War is total bullshit though, especially how much it favors the Marxists and keeps kicking the nationalists and the federal government in nuts. I've never witnessed an AI-led AUS winning.
The whole thing is a lefty wet dream and CSA is basically railroaded to win with all the free units and huge industrial base.

Yes, it's Stalinism except in name. I think Mosley and Mussolini only pretend to be Totalists and hide their right-wing sympathies, otherwise they would get gulag'd or banned from politics. Would be fun to try turning Britain into fascist with Mosley.

They went apeshit in Germany, Hungary and Finland too, but got absolutely crushed. Armed revolution against the government is only viable if a.) you have the army on your side or b.) there is essentialy no proper government to speak of. If you actually manage to become the government, as in Hungary's case, except to be gangbanged by your neighbours from all sides. Eventually (((they))) realized that infiltrating the society and rotting it from within works better than taking it over by arms.

Open it in a new tab.

Starvation and general instability.

opportunity. There's many, many people with big ambitions, and even more people all too willing to join almost any cause if it looks like it could win and they get promised big rewards. The moment a government grows weak is the moment revolution happens, under one pretext or another

IT'S DAAA JOOOOS

He doesn't know

Chinks and Japs will conquer the world and genocide all of them.

Bogd Khan the spiritual ruler of Mongolia supported him.

From wikipedia: He was supported by Mongols who sought independence from Chinese occupation, especially the spiritual and secular leader of Mongols, the Bogd Khan, who secretly sent Ungern his blessing for expelling Chinese from Mongolia.

Report and hide.

that nigger looks like Yamamoto if the Jomonese people really did come from Apefrica like the We Wuz Kangs keep telling us they did.

Paradox made a great WW1 simulatuon didn't they?

Yet another BELIEVABLE experience brought to you by Paradox's well researched and thought out sequel, HOI4, never fear of running out of memes ever again with this game, the memery writes itself

Sounds like a perfectly Russian thing to do imo.

I know that's the way history runs, but what makes it dumb is the fact that I did nothing but sit on a front and wait, no tactics or overall strategy or war plan, just watching countless green 99s going on and off all over the defensive line and the casualties meteorically rising while mine remain at something like 50K. By the time their reinforcement bars were at half capacity due to extremely low manpowerr I just drew some general directions on the map and there goes that wermacht walking as if on a field trip, a week later the soviets capitulate.

I think your Europe is broken.

I risk dieing if I go outside. I can't preserve white heritage if I'm dead.

Checkmate

how the fuck do the new estates in turkomania universalis' M&T mod work?

It's definitely fun. As for "good," it's broken in many ways but I think it does the best it can with Vicky2's mechanics.

They actually put up one hell of a fight. I was even bumped down to rank 2 for a bit until the Soviets finally got BTFO'd.

Nah. Mongolia was the only puppet that joined the war. No idea why.

You revoke privileges when you are at +1 stability and hope you don't stay at negative stability for too long or they'll take them back. Once you've finished revoking them you dominate the world because AIs will be stuck with 30+ corruption while you're sitting at 10 or less.

Don't worry about corruption yourself in the meantime, bribe estates to get free shit constantly. Corruption is like prestige in that it ticks up or down to a steady state.

CWE's pretty dank but I wish it had more variant options for superstates, some more expansive CBs, and the ability to restore Fascist ideology and parties at the expense of war with ZOG. As it is now, forming an ebin grossgermaniums is a tedious pain in the ass, and the only superstates for Europe/NA are liberal shit, NAU, EU, etc. There's no ability to form the Intermarium or recreate the HRE, no way to form a Canada + USA superstate that excludes Mexico and doesn't accept Mestizo culture, no Iberia, etc.

There is Scandinavia which is kinda neat although pretty hard to form.

Oh neat, they actually added A-H a couple days ago. If you start as Hungary and Austria's released as a unified democracy, you'll get an event to form A-H in order to stave off the communists better. No option to claim the rest of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the moment, has to be done by force. Still, it's better than before since now you also get Hungarian accepted, and I'd imagine options to accept the others will get added later.

Either play HOI 3 with the expansions and suffer crashes with mods or play HOI 4 and get jewed out of a fucking blitzkreg button

Lingering Soviet butthurt towards Yugoslavia meant I was able to carve off some rightful clay with minimal hassle. I can't retake Bohemia-Moravia, Slovakia, or the Hungarian lands in the east yet due to them being either puppets of the USSR or actual USSR territory right now, so until the USSR starts collapsing I'll be focusing on taking back the southern lands.

Still not use if I should retake Venice but I'm definitely going to reclaim Tirol at some point.

Oh shit. Luckily, my alliance with France seems to be preventing them from attacking, for now. And in the meantime I'm out of the Soviet sphere of influence which should let me get my finances back in order.

Thanks user. It's taking forever to gain 1 pissy stability.

Also:
wew, at least byzzie's got em as well. AI's still retarded as always, so I guess that's for some good old historical railroading. Also the ottomans don't seem to have the redonkolous buffs they always have, instead they get a 2-star general and that's about it.
But it's good so far, my only complaint is that Trebizond doesn't get any cores in its former territories (Even though they were lost like 20 years prior to the game's start), a lack of Caucasian cultures (like Abkhazian, I mean those fuckers added Abazins which were pretty much some stupid obscure tribe no one gave a shit about, but left out Abkhazians), Crimean Goths and Copts, but that's easily moddable :^)

Thats stupid as fuck and makes no sense in this time period.

It's only a couple decades after Austria-Hungary was dismantled. Hungary itself was technically still a monarchy at that point albeit with a regency.

It checks out.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAaAaAaAaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaa aaa aa a

Which is terribly unrealistic, at least in its current implementation. Historically Britain has devoted most of its military energies to preventing a western European hegemony from emerging, but suddenly they'll allow and slavishly support a Paris-Berlin axis that envelops or controls the Benelux because they and the French are under the same ideological umbrella?

Whatever dubious propositions become KR alt-history, KR has a much bigger problem with its geopolitics and in particular with the Internationale which are selflessly and productively cooperative with eachother despite every previous Internationale breaking up because of national differences.

How come I'd never heard of this? Sadly, I just checked and if you set the start date between 1651 and 1665 no islands in the Caribbean belong to the Knights in EU3. Haven't checked on EU4.
