Grand Strategy Games

I want to point out as a venezuelan, the whole "bolivarian socialism" is entirely a late 80s thing, my grandmother, who was born in the 30s (the generation that saw the country change from a agricultural state to a modern society), would go on rambling about godless comunism and how chavez should be kicked out of the country for hours, since in her times commusim was seen as an insult to god and family values.
Not only that, but when chavez gained power in 1998 he was not a commie, but a civic nationalist people voted for because they were tired of the bi-partidism that had ruled the country since the 60s.
The only red colors he used was that of his beret, and that was because he was an ex-paratrooper, not because any communism, you can see here a picture when he got elected in 1998 and a young madure by his side.

That is incredibly ahistorical but good job.

Yes, a civic nationalist that tried to keep away from both the USA and the USSR and form an independent south american block.

do you still live there?

1936 + 60 = 90's, sort of, rounds up to 2000 anyway.
I still recommend checking out the paradox forums OT Venezuela thread, the posts there are truly something to behold.

No. You have to be retarded to lose the Mandate, and the Chink AI is surprisingly good, compared to the other AIs.

Amazing.

No, i left with my parents after the protests died down last year.

where do you live now? also to stay on topic, any good nation to play as in ck2 HIP?

The saddest thing is that it all was allowed to hapen because cuban marxist infiltration, the authorities relaxed after the communist guerrillas pacified during the early 70s, they were kept under watch, but the current PSUV came from other places noone foresaw, so much that the old communist guerrillas have always opposed the PSUV.

Spain, my grandparents were spanish migrants after the spanish civil war.

...

why cant you help the heavenly kingdom in hpm? can you do it in plebbitmod?

psst hey Edits user (PBUH), ages ago I asked that you morph the province borders in Prussia to match the version Concert of Europe has. That HFM update that changed the whole map ruined them again, any chance they be re-prettyfied? It was around the same time Flanders/Nord Franken got copy pasted from DoD.

Gonna remind the thread that they got so butthurt over people waifu'ing Jiang Qing (Mao's wife) that they removed the entire focus tree.

When did this happen? Last time I played they still had the focus but her portrait had been changed.

They might've kept it in, but they (mainly that Flame guy) made a massive fuss about it on the leddit last time I checked.

Only East Asians can get full autismo on things that a normal white man would just s"nope, too far".
Reading about that brother of jesus and the carnage he caused is hilarious.

Do they get mad at people lusting after mao's wife or what?
I sincerely dont understand.

They have no soul.

They got mad about people waifu'ing Mao's wife, said they were going to remove her from the focus tree but the forum got angry and they (apparently) have now backed down.

Why?
I swear, i cant understand these people.

Communism is about the destruction of beauty, of course they get buttmad when you like beautiful things.

Because the Hyper Prussia Mod is shit t b h.

Do ants have rules of engagement? Do they restrain themselves? If not, why should the Chinese do so, considering they are the pinnacle hive society.

I think the differece here is that the western society is deeply motivated by christian values wich are, in essence, humanistic.
I think that is why absolutely everyone else seems so barbaric and bloodthirsty from a western point of view.

The values typically associated with Christianity quite often predate it because they were natural to Europeans.

rate my paraguay thats an austrian germany by the way

United provinces of (((La Plata)))? 10/10 :^)
Are the Congo and Angola also yours?

I dont like that blob, top tier paraguay is to blob just enought to gain sea acces by annexing urugay, forming the best guay posible.

Did France annex Switzerland

mememod/10

What's the fucking point of playing in Asia outside of autismo overtaking of the Ming then? I just want a comfy Indochina game but Ming breathing down my neck and keeping up with the Turks in tech is fucking ridiculous.

Don't you spics ever learn that socialism = no bueno?

i dont have any dlc post Common Sense and ming falls apart most of the time for me

Yep. We're different from whites for sure.
Being an aspie chink myself, I think I'll have some bias in this, but I believe that Chinks are specialist cells, whereas whites are cells that can serve many, versatile purposes. Think of a cell that can do many functions - that's your white, whereas more specialized cells such as CD8 T-helper cells, or beta pancreatic cells, can be thought of as chinks/japs. I find that we usually don't make original ideas in this day and age, but rather improve on them.
I mean, the Japs made cars so good that they drove the Americans out of business. I see that they seemed to have very good gas efficiency in comparison to American cars produced in the post ww2-period.
The Marshall plan and its Japanese equivalent (I don't remember what it was called) couldn't have helped, either.

I don't eat dogs. I treat people well, at least in my opinion. Yet I have difficulty reading social situations. I believe I do have a soul, for I am able to articulate myself to some extent.
Yet, I ponder, is to think, really to be?
What makes whites so special? Their haplogroups? Which gene does the intelligence so associated with whites come from? Why are they so altruistic?

HFM+user's > HFM > HPM

Confucian never really left us as a society. Whilst the west is Christian, we are confucianist/Buddhist.
Pisslam is another story.

Interesting.

Pic is some image of North Africa during roman times, maybe this will help somewhat with names.

Absolutely. Why do you think we call you antpeople? Your castes have genetically coded you into specific tasks. As the old saying begins, “Give a white man a hammer and he’ll build a civilization. Give an Asian a hammer and he’ll make more hammers.”
Give a nigger a hammer and he’ll kill a white man. Give a jew a hammer and he’ll sell it to a nigger.

Satan dubs confirm, at least we are not nignogs and can MAKE hammers.
On a personal note, that explains why I've had a lust of knowledge from my youth, and how I was led here by that very lust. I suspect then that I am part of an "Intellectual" caste of sorts (does that make me a clergyman/intellectual vic 2 pop? Kek.), but what that entails is somewhat beyond me as I do not live in the motherland, and neither have my ancestors from at least my great-grandparents.
Oh, how I wish we had the Mandate of Heaven restored..
One day we will see a new, non-communist dynasty rise, for now the CPC hold the mandate of heaven. Accursed (((Usurpers)))!

Who owns what in former Colombia? Is that the US state of Zulia?

what possible reason could you have for not just pirating all the dlc?

That's a sweet Paraguay.
Shame you didn't clean up borders with the console though, Especially Szekely and the Turks. TCA is also horrendous without greater Armenia but with greater Azerbaijan.
You need to sphere the caucasus and whoever owns greater Armenia, Azerbaijan in order for that to happen. That means Turks + Persians, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan.
Them African borders, especially Egypt and Libya, should have been cleaned up as it appears the events for them aren't functioning properly.
I rate 4/10.

achievments :^^^^^^)

Low IQ and high time preference my friend.

Chinese autism is a sight to behold.

He was comparing all these things to Rome. Is Rome in Europe?

...

...

To be fair, the Roman empire extended to the middle east and north africa.

To be fair, Rome is a city that continues to exist for thousands of years now. And it will even under the Muslim Caliphate. They will probably even not change the name just because they want to be able to say that they own Rome.

Sometimes I worry about the future of the human race.

Well, why not? Germany had South-East Asian colonies, and the Dutch owned Java in our timeline..

It was a rhetorical question, idiots.

...

I honestly don't understand how so many posters read his post and not get that he was only "asking" that to point out that the original text was comparing some Europeans (Germans) to other Europeans (Romans).

Do any of you feel like burnt out when it comes to grand strategy?
Every time I start a game lately, I immediately lost interest to continue playing.

But that is of no importance.
He is referring to Europeans meaning, those are European Ideas.
And even if one argues that Tacitus only wrote inaccurate accounts to influence Roman society, they would still be European Ideas.

...

i've gotten a bit burnt out sometimes, but when that happens i'll just take some time to do different stuff, different games or watch shows or something. can always come back to a campaign later.

Should I go full god emperor of mankind?

Oh hell no, the patriarch UNDER the emperor, what do you think this is?
The HRE?

The leader of the empire becomes the patriarch and you turn into a theocracy and then into a monastic order, I gotta say the bonuses are pretty good.
I saved before i did it, dunno what I will decide.

That would break the continuation of the empire though.

The centralization and autonomy penalty is awful once you get into locations with poorer communication efficiency. Most of the rest of the bonuses are universal for your rank.

OTOH it'll be incredibly good for unrest, since chuch influence and tolerance of true faith work together while negative tolerance of heretics means faster conversion IIRC.

What constitutes the difference between border gore, BELIEVABLE and blobbing? Because while the first and third ones are easy to understand, I never get the BELIEVABLE meme outside of maybe shit like Panama being in the HRE in the early 2000's.

Are the frontiers pretty?
Do they respect historical frontiers or cultural/regional borders?
If not, its bordergore, blobbing its when you just start expanding like crazy.

But isn't the point of /gsg/ to create historically PLAUSIBLE (although not necessarily accurate) scenarios? Don't ahistorical and weird borders pop up already in real life when resources or physical connections to some place is needed? Look at Kaliningrad.

Alright birches, user here.
Here's what's probably going to be in the next version of user's edits for Vicky2:

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_occupation_of_the_Dominican_Republic
~1861 rolls around, Spain gets an event where some fag in DOM asks him to anschluss the shit outta his country. If SPA accepts, they vassalize DOM and any cores owned by the aforementioned nation get a nationalist unrest malus for 10 years because why the fuck not? Also liberals get buttmad because reasons BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE: The USA gets a usable Monroe doctrine CB on SPA for 36 months (maybe more? Could add more times, what'cha think?)
After the nationalist unrest maluses are gone, Spain will get the option to reincorporate the Dominican side of the Hispaniola into their territories, and will get claims on the other half of the island (Who the fuck partitions an island in two? Shit's awful, islands should have pleasing, aesthetic and natural borders, not some shit line cutting them in half)

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallarino–Bidlack_Treaty
TL;DR: Colombia becomes USA's bitch in 1845 (aka gets sphered, military access, whatnot) and a railroad for Panama City and Balboa provinces. How's Gran Colombia gonna be formed now? No idea, but it'll be way harder and will possibly require help from the Anglos when playing as ECU or VNZ, as CLM it'll be a piece of cake as always.

>es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nación_Misquita (Caution: Spanish)
Miskito nation, a British protectorate which existed (albeit quite intermittently) from 1600something to 1890. In the 1800's it became sorta independent (as independent as a satellite/substate of the UK was) and became involved in the banana republics of central america, with the Vanderbilts and other cryptokikes trying to exert their dominance over the region. The country will/could be releasable and the area will/could be under British suzerainty. I'm still not sure if I should give them the Miskito primary culture, since it'll be yet another culture added to the game. But it's an interesting country nonetheless, it got GLOM'd by Nicaragua in 1895 after an ambitious (and ballsy) president defied the Anglos and occupied the Moskito coast. Without him, Nicaragua would've had no Caribbean coast.

>es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorio_de_Bocas_del_Toro
This would be CLM's claimed territories in Central America, nominally under indirect rule of the Gran Colombia for several years, then as it's common in the spic Americas, the area became a disputed territory; on one side Colombia claimed the WHOLE Moskito Coast and recognized it as a 'Departamento' and on the other side you've got the Brits and Americans meddling with the local governments for whatever reason, exerting their influence through satellites and puppet governments. Anyway the area stays under control of Miskito (the British protectorate), with Colombia's and Nicaragua's cores as to represent the territorial disputes.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chincha_Islands_War
The Chincha Islands war: Basically in the 1860's some drunken Spanish dudes got BTFO by local Peruvians while a Spanish scientific expedition (which was the cover, they were actually looking for ways to claim their lost colonies via Spaniards residing in the Americas) comprised of several warships was conveniently passing by. The fleet demanded reparations (Spaniards: 1 dead, 3 injured) THEN they asked to be paid denbts from the Peruvian war of independence. For the negotiations, hey sent some dude bearing the title of 'Comisario Real' which was pretty much a colonial term for Colonial Governor, and not an ambassador. This was an insult for Peruvians. After these failed negotiations took place, the Spaniards occupied the Chinchas islands, which were easy prey, and raised the Spanish flag. The islands were sorta important because they had guano, yadda yadda read the wiki article if you want the rest.
TL;DR: Spain diplomatically insults peru by sending a colonial officer, Spain occupies Peruvian Guano islands, Peru says no bueno and they both go to war, Bolivia and Chile also tag along because they were threatened about Spain trying to regain its previously lost colonial territories.
REAL TL;DR: Spain goes to war with Peru, Chile and Bolivia. CB: Demand reparations and the occupation of some pissant guano islands.

I'm not sure if I should add a chance for Deseret to pop up during the American Civil war as another user had suggested.
Anyone else got more suggestions?

BELIEVABLE really only means something which logically would have never happened, like the ruskies snaking straight to fuckin Milan and making a client state out of it.
Or the Tibetans making an empire stretching from Tibet proper up to the english channel. Or "The Golden Circle" memery.

Can you reconquer all of Spain's lost colonial holdings?

I think that's already included in base HFM.

It is, it's a fairly bit chain of decisions and events you can do as Spain, but I believe you can only do it as Carlist Spain.

How would you implement that? Because it has to be unlikely, like the Free States of America forming. Maybe if the war goes on for longer than 1865 and the militancy in the US is high enough?

Maybe add some more decisions late game? Everytime I play in the time between 1915-1936 the game gets very dry and sort of boring. What decisions, I have no idea what you could add. It's not very helpful I know.

I unironically agree with this. The heavenly kingdom would have saved China from western exploitation. It also sought to remove all traces of Confucianism from Chinese culture, which rests at the core of the Chinese hive mentality.

This I should leave this for a future version tbh, give it enough time to brainstorm.

Or just militancy being high enough in the Desert territories. Or maybe if Desert's cores are not in the control of the US? Like if Mexico somehow won the Mexican American war, or if the Mexican American war never happened.

Believable means non-border gorey maps that look reasonable at first glance until you realize that Spain colonized Siberia and the red in Africa is Japan rather than England.

You take that back right now

Are you implying that GLORIOUS NIPPON cannot colonize Africa?

I dont think japs can handle the african enviroment

speaking of african environment

Welp fuck, there goes my usual strategy to form GCO, will the event still fire if colombia get puppeted before that?

yeehaw

Weren't most cowniggers from Africa though?
Like the bulk of the shit removing workload, not the conquerors of the West

...

huh

Shouldn't have expected anything from an asian woman.

...

Nah, that'd be evil.

...

Wow, I thought religious bait of this caliber could only be found on Holla Forums
What is it about these generals that attract cancer on par with GG threads and Lol threads?

Grand strategy is the most autistic video game genre, of course it would attract the most autistic shitposters in all of Holla Forums.

I haven't browsed Holla Forums since Trump won the US elections, cuckchanners and redditors ruined that place more than paid shills did.

Nope, they're doing the exact same shit on /r9k/, even.

...

It's /gsg/, it's always been autistic. Even before the days of Holla Forums it was a hell hole.

Well paid shills were fun to make fun off and stuck out like a sore thumb, while being a small minority in the board. However, when the majority of users are cuckservatives, theDonald plebbitors, and paid shills, then it's no fun.

I distinctly remember this thread having quality discussions in the early days.

Well that's because the majority of people who weren't aids left 4chan immediately. I think most went back to cuckchan. Or maybe more cuckchanners came here? Who knows what happened, but the level of cancer and autism is around the same as it was in 4chan.

/christian/ is the Holla Forums of religion, basically. If you want to remove cancer, remove Christkikes.

BEGONE CHRISTKIKE

Well they do share some similarities, I can't deny that.

Kek

Buddhism is the only /r9k/-tier religion anyway because its followers try to live as simple of a life as possible not to please some invisible being but rather, to obtain true peace of mind and to permanently end their existence because they acknowledge that living in this world is eternal torture.

Reported for four years of the same intl spam.

How about if someone else its holding panama?

Actually the decision's for GCO, CLM, PMN and UCA, is holding PROV1723 aka Balboa (Panama Canal) and isn't a vassal.

Welp now it is actually easier to get GCO as either VNZ or ECU.
Can you still vasalize countries if youre under someone's sphere?

Can't do it as VNZ though. Still, you could simply steal Panama and cuck CLM from Uncle Sam's influence.

Nah fuck this, now you need to have a spic culture and own panama canal province to get the decision. It's gamey, but it makes more sense than just a handful of countries.

So you can just cancel the event alltogether by stealing panama?
Neat.
It wouldnt be in the spirit of bolivar's heirs to not cuck other countries just to make sure you wont have to kick their asses harder afterwards.

Do explain.

This implies enlightenment of some sort. Perhaps you are right, but of older times. halfchan is mostly normalfag land now and specifically /r9k/ is angry failure normalfags now. Holla Forums has also lost its initial brilliance.

You need to be part of the latin_american_cultures and own the panama canal province in order to get the decision.
So technically you could get the treaty as Brazil or even Chile, as long as your primary culture is Latin American.

I mean the isthmus was always pretty important, both the brits and amerifats knew this, that's the reason they always mingled in the politics of whoever owned panama (as much as helping them gain their independence in the early 1900's) and the other central american republics. So it makes sense the americans would seek to establish relations with balboa's owners.

I never said anything about halfchan's /r9k/ though, everyone on ours already knows it has gone shit just like the site in general. The fact that this site is devolving to its same level is mostly a result of their users, redditors and people who simply go here for the edge factor which is exactly how halfchan died as well. I'm sure in a few years we will reach full circle and everyone will migrate to a smaller imageboard again to protect themselves from unfunny memes and leftism.

So are country wide revolts just something the game is going to throw at you? Backstory is during the Second Mexican-American war for clay I had 2 Reactionary small revolts pop up in the North and a small Jacobin revolt pop up in the South. I've pretty much gone on to cuck the CSA by making all newly admitted states free states. However instead of the South going nuclear its been New England.

I got about 10 hours in this game from doing a co-op tutorial with another mate. I understand reactionaries are going to pop up against liberal reforms passed to quickly. Is there anything I'm missing or could do to avoid these annoying buggers?

Side not I don't know how but I got 40% support for universal suffrage and there hasn't even been a single pop up about it.

do rebel stacks killed reduce the amount of rebel pops?

I didn't even know we have an active /r9k/, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. With 7 posts per hour it is not the most active board, but it is something. I barely check other boards really. This is my "video game site" and I have very, very small and non-functional image board for my anime site.
The thing is, Holla Forums hasn't really grown, it has been slowly shriving. I am surprised Holla Forums is even at the top again, but I guess Holla Forums has died out that much? So if we migrate we will have to migrate to an even smaller site. Which I really might not mind, but I kind of liked the speed of 8/v/. It will never be that magical Christmas/New Year of 2014. God damn it, man. I was so happy back then. It felt like there was truly hope. I really hate myself for not saving a certain second exodus picture. It felt like it explained what was happening very good, in a way I am not sure I can even reproduce any more, because even my own memory of what is what has been corrupted so much.

Yeah, if it's not Jacobins, it's socialists/communists/fascists.

I think so, so does lowering unrest via event.

Lel can larpagans ever hope to recover ?

It's in the top board list, you don't even need to scroll down to see it.

Lots of cuckchanners started coming here last year, it wouldn't be a problem if they would just stay here but they are crossposters and they bring their cancerous culture with them (laplata spamming for example).

Crossposting was a thing right in 2014 though. You had that autist who'd namefag as Kaiser Windhelm and he's spam the waggle my willy pasta. Or the retards who spam these types pics

Unless entire countries or states worth of Anons stop posting outright then the board UIDs are not going to drop past a certain point any time soon. Since those do not represent individual users. You mistook Holla Forums's rise as anything but the usual "spam the fuck out of Holla Forums with meta and stale shitposting because all the VPN bans expired" as an increase in users. btw the site itself is growing but the traffic is from hidden and delisted boards so you're not going to see them crop up on the board index.

Are you sure you're not mistaking the usual autists and those faggots from Holla Forums with being Newfags?

The problem is that the only game paradox ever made that isn't about larping and actually playing the fucking video game was Hearts of Iron 3 and Darkest Hour.
Everything else is either larp shit, or map painting or boredom simulator for casuals like stellaris and hoi4.

Yeah, I joined a Victoria 2 game with these retards once, it was just a hug box. That shit is boring man.

From the quality alone I can tell that's a Holla Forums meme.

Posting a Memebloc™ Quality™ Meme™ without paying royalties is punishable by death lad.
The Willy Wagglers are on their way right now to end you.

That meme was around before leftypol was even a thing.

varg is a nigger yesi just posted this pic because its the only amerimutt i have saved

"We shall not tolerate anyone who attacks the ideals of christianity within our ranks"

They do lower as I kill the stacks (those rebels also significantly decreased as I threw them the universal suffrage reform)

That confirms what I've read else where rebels will rebel.

I've played another save but made effort to reduce militancy and consciousness in the pop ups and have had only one revolt in my play through and I'm in the 60's.

I've murdered 1 million German communists before, crushed that rebellion.
They never got more than 10% of seats after that.

How do you became feudal as a horde if your religion is already reformed? I want to play as any of the Manichean hordes but have never played as a non-feudal character before.

Holla Forums consists mostly of ironic shitposters but I can imagine most cuckchanners actually think it's all genuine and go along with it since their catalog is exactly like that of any nu-cuckchan board.

You need a province that already has a castle and right click it. That should give you the option to settle as feudal or at least show you the requirements.

Alright, thanks.
Another question: is there any way to deal with the lack of income when you just started and can't take on a realm with a castle yet? I'm playing as Pecheneg and have already conquered provinces of other hordes but my income is 0.45 gold a month and my only way of earning a good amount of money seems to be by winning holy wars against feudal rulers but there is only one of those that borders me.

What's the Certified™ Naval template for HoI3? I know it's submarine spam in DH but I never tried to achieve naval sup in hoi3 and I'm craving a Japan game.

Are you actually raiding your neighbours or just going to war with them?

Aha cousin Duchess wants my royal cock

I'm surrounded by other hordes and raiding those barely give me any money. The only realm I can get some from are the Bavandids but they can easily defeat me because they have better troops.

(why haven't these been checked yet?)

LADS WTF
(using user's hfm thing)

I see it

I'll be more creative with the naming next time I promise

I wasn't bullying you user, I was saying that I see Loss in that pic

When did this happen? Got any clue of the events/countries that might be involved?
I've seriously never messed with FRA other than adding Normandy's and Occitania's cores.

I'm playing yugoslavia so I've only really been paying attention to the balkans
the only thing I've seen which might have caused it was a massive communist rebellion that turned france communist for a brief period before they got republic'd again

That might be it.the game didn't have enough time to despawn those commie units.

ah okay fair enough, I've played over 1000 hours of this game and I've never seen rebel ships before so I wondered if anyone knew why it happened

So CK2+ or HIP?

All the trannies and cucks who do nothing but shitpost topics about things they don't play, read, or watch are on that board. >>>/cow/126761

There might be some genuine ones among them who are actually anti-white and believe what they say to a certain degree but most of the board's posters are just people abusing the absence of any type of moderation there (which was a result of the BO being depressed about the whole bj thing I guess). Holla Forums is just Holla Forums with less porn, nothing more to it than that.

CK2+ if you want the vanilla experience with some overhaul events added, proper schism and more history.
HIP if you want a complete map overhaul, more events and decisions and even more history.

if prussia gets annexed they keep their units

So yes cucks and trannies they'll move in to any board that doesn't moderate, the new BO that took over only moderates against stuff like pro-Trump views whenever he bothers to go on. At least 200-300 UIDs from that board are fake proxies.

A lot of this site's users use VPNs and some people switch IPs serveral times a day so this can probably be said about boards other than Holla Forums.
I'm not trying to defend the board in any way though, I realise it's a shithole filled with repetitive cuckchan memes.

Where does people get HIP from?
Ive only seen it on the paradox forum.

hip.zijistark.com/releases/latest.pl
OPEN WIDE

Thanks for that spoonfull user.

...

Really makes you think.

...

And that Krakow in the middle just looks awful.

You know volunteers can check a user's past posts right? So they can, you know, tell if they're actually shilling?

What does that have to do with what I said?

Well it seems to me that you think I'm "intl paid shilling" and sent a report because you got butthurt and got banned for it.

Stop doing things that only shills do and you'll stop being reported, then.

I think you should go back to your safe space bud, I don't think the internet is a good place for you.

OYYYYYY DELET THIS

Why is cuckchan trash like you allowed to post here?

stfu whitey

Your shitty cuckchan memes aren't even funny man.

They're mad their shitty, cancerous general got sent to /trash/.

I wish I could buy cuckchan and purge it of all the trash.

This is a new low holy shit

Not really, they've been stealing our OC for a long time now.

Yep, thanks for confirming what I said, paid shill.

And thanks for confirming what I already know, little baby back bitch.

...

It must be a sad existence for you man. I really suggest you find a safe space soon, this banter might be too much for your fragile ego.

Stop fighting like fucking niggers and get back on topic.
What's a good mod for DH that isn't Kaisercunt or New World Cunt?

Cuck.

Holy shit it is real. archive.fo/UwkVk
Do they even realize in the picture at a certain place it says "Cuckchan culture is not accepted."

what's everyone's impression of Darkest Hour? its like the old HOI games to me.

it moves a lot slower though.

wtf is the Strasserist flag there for? I used to be one.

maybe I think you're a nigger

...

Anyone able to play some tech support for me?
I had been playing CK2 successfully for 600+ hours with downloaded DLC used through the DLCactivator exe, but after adding Jade Dragon I started getting this debug text in place of the accurate event subtitle information.
Any idea on fixes? Jewgle gives nothing and asking anywhere else will just be Paradox bootlickers telling my to buy it all.

So you paid for the game and only downloaded the DLC? You might as well call yourself a bootlicker.
Just torrent everything.

Turn off charinfo.

Yeah, was just hoping there was a fix that let me have it as well as fix the debug info. Not sure what could have caused it just from adding the last DLC.

did you patch the game as well?

It's fully patched and up-to-date since I legitimately own the base game. I'm thinking I may do a clean install of vanilla and then just retry adding the DLC, running the activator, and reinstalling HIP. It was something to do with adding Jade Dragon, as I didn't have this issue before including that.

Prussia btfo

how did that happen?

How have you not seen it? It happens as much as the NGF for me.

Just say it. “I was wrong.” How much of a fucking pussy coward do you have to be to not be able to say this to an anonymous person you’ll never meet?

Kraut autism, blood and iron.

I always try to destroy austria as soon as possible unless I'm playing as them

>WAAHHH JUST PROVE ME RIGHT ADMIT IT

You're so pathetic man.

Prove me wrong by overcoming your autistic retardation and not replying to this post.

You're the one who started it you retard. But alright, after this one I'm done, I've had my fun with your autistic rage. You were a good laugh, for a while I guess.

Sometimes Prussia gets their asses handed to them if they aren't allied with the UK.

Of all the ways to prove me right by replying to something after being told that not replying would prove me wrong, THIS post is the best way to prove me right. Thanks.

Why was Vanilla so broken?

I regret creating custom empire of lithuania.

Is this pasta? It reads like an autist tried out their favorite anime's "heh gotcha kid" quote from the villain.

You didn't see CSA is #2 in the world

The (((Eternal Anglo)))

OY VEY

it's been a while since I last played Vicky2, like 16 months.What's a good, modern interesting mod out there?

the only decent one is HFM if you play it with user's edits

I've had some fun with HFM. I hear Blood and Iron is fun but I haven't given it a try yet.

I know about HPM, but what's HFM?

It's built on HPM, but way better.

it's a submod for HPM that adds more stuff

mod that lets you play as based cornwall

pretty good so far. What's the timeline like? Does it expand past WW1?

well now the game ends at the year 9935 if that's what you're asking

If you use user's edits you can play after 1936 but there's no new events after 1936, or at least nothing new that I'm aware of.

late-game victoria isn't that fun anyway
dismantling is fun but I get massive slowdown and battles take ages

for shame. The post WW2 world was pretty eventful

realistically, it would be more economic/diplomatic focused.Warfare isn't so fun anymore now that nukes exist

yeah but it's victoria 2 not EvW, sadly

Well you can play the New World Order mod, but I am sure you are already aware of it and people usually complain it lacks events.

You know what's something I thought about. There's really nothing, from what I remembered, about the Bloody Kansas event that happened. Maybe you can add something about that? It was sort of a huge thing, like the Dredd Scott case or Uncle Tom's Cabin huge.

B&I or HPM. HFM is pure cancer, don't listen to these plebs.

you still get achievements from pirating the dlcs :^3c

Please elaborate

What's up nofun user, how're you holding up?

Bloody Kansas was a huge event in Kansas where yanks and dixies openly killed each other over if Kansas would be a slave state or a free state. And this lasted from 1854 all the way to the end of the civil war.

I think an event of this magnitude would be a bit hard to implement, not to mention the area and anything regarding the civil war is convoluted by several chains of events and decisions. A meager militancy and pop reduction malus won't suffice.
I've now read a bit about it, the American Civil War's got enough attention already and unless I can't find anything else to code into the game, while i'm not discarding the idea, I don't think it's going to be high on the priority list. Sorry user.

That's fine. I just found it weird that there was nothing about that event.

What?

user, I remember that France has a way to remove Italian cores on Savoy/Nice, but Italy doesn't. I think France had to control Turin for it to be true - Can Italy do the same if they control Marseilles?

You know, I had actually planned something for Provence, namely giving it some North Italian pops (with a big concentration in Marseilles, since there's always been a big community of Italians in there) and make the whole region a releasable country.

If you want a reverse treaty of Milan, I could do that alright. This is the decision you're talking about:
the_treaty_of_milan = { picture = establish_panfrenchism potential = { tag = FRA is_greater_power = yes exists = ITA ITA = { ai = yes owns = 744 #Florence } owns = 465 #Annecy owns = 721 #Aosta owns = 720 #Turin NOT = { has_country_flag = the_treaty_of_milan } } allow = { war = no owns = 720 #Turin } effect = { set_country_flag = the_treaty_of_milan prestige = 5 badboy = 4 721 = { remove_core = ITA } #Aosta 465 = { remove_core = ITA } #Annecy 466 = { remove_core = ITA } #Chambery 472 = { remove_core = ITA } #Nice any_owned = { limit = { is_core = ITA } secede_province = ITA } } ai_will_do = { factor = 1 } }

Basically if FRA controls Turin (Most likely after taking the decision 'Claim Savoy', adding cores to Savoy and other provinces) and is not at war, you can select the decision to anschluss Aosta, Annecy, Chambery and Nice. Italy gets Turin back. Could do that for ITA instead, a setup decision like with FRA for claiming Provence (Save the Italians living there or whatever), get some cores in Provence AND the decision to remove FRA's cores whenever ITA controls the place. How's that sound?

Did you make a reasonable Oregon yet?

Sorry, just read the changelog. Good job, user. I'll start my Cascadian campaign to see how it goes.

Heh. I love it!
I know an Italian who'd go ham over this too.

the Chincha islands war goes on for decades

The CK2 version of user's edits needs to be updated. It currently causes the game to lose all consistency after a while, with Caucasians gaining random provinces all over the map.

give me money and I'll remove the cancer from hoi3's black ice

...

I was fooling around with it the other day. It doesn't seem too hard. The first step is making a list of its problems. I'm going to start from scratch again so that I can make a list of the issues that I fixed.

What's the latest version? I have 9.01

The guy who did the economy for Vicky left Paradox a while back.
I doubt the people who can barely balance glorified digital boardgames with one or two resources can build anything approaching the complexity of Vicky again.

[citation needed]

Turkophiles on the Paradox forum are going apeshit over the devs' decision to include Byzantium as a formable country in HoI4's upcoming expansion. It is truly insane to witness the levels of butthurt produced by these subhumans, and they are historically illiterate enough to believe that it'd be an implausible option in the event of Anatolia's annexation.

...

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition, can't do much about it now. The expansions come for free at least.

ur dum

Just found out there's a patch 1.05 for Darkest Hour so I reinstalled but I'm getting a crash on startup. There's zero results coming up on startpage.

Wow people still play black ice on hoi3. If I can remove the cancer, it would be greatly appreciated. This dude just uploaded a livestream earlier today. He probably is browsing this thread right now or is on 4chan. So it looks like version 9.01 is the latest version after all.

I hope this is bait

Yeah I just noticed I used the wrong CB on that event, so . However, I'm going to release a new hotfix later today, so you might wanna download it, among the stuff is a correction for the Chinchas war CBs

files.catbox.moe/n9n4xx.zip
here you go

Seems like a stupid mod.

That is either absolutely incredible or total low-effort shit.

Another release. Save-compatible (if the Chincha war drags on forever, you might want to reload to an earlier save before the war happened and use this version of the mod instead)

Changelog:

Also a note on HFM's version:
I won't be updating my mod to the latest HFM version unless they leave the beta development cycle (current HFM version is 1.27d BETA)

I changed my mind. I won't make any money removing the cancer from hoi3 black ice so I'll just remove the cancer anyways for free. I'll report on here my changes and fun facts about black ice such as the fact that having deep snow in any of your provinces increases militia practical.

Is there really no quit game in darkest hour? only thing I've found in menu is surrender? Am I just dumb?Am I here forever?

any idea on how to get Cpr+ working? Ive googled and found out i need to edit the main.py but when i try to run it it crashes on me.

Darkest Hour 1.05.1 is out.

Changelog

So mexico annexed texas. I have never seen this happen before. for some reason usa didn't intervene.

Just add a successful CSA and we'll have a top cucked america

well, I'm playing with hpm, so those are pretty much starting positions and usa haven't gotten around manifest destinying mexico yet.

Up to when does the Dawn of Civilization ck2 mod progress to?
I'm playing it and I think the fact that 50000 bp doesn't pass is a bug, or just plain unfinished.

Anybody interested or is currently playing any of the make war not love games to hit the hours mark? or no.

Quoting a guy from ages ago:

First you'll need to download python 2.7.10 from python.org and install it, you may then need to restart your computer.

if cprMissingDLCNames is None: # Failed to auto-detect game folderif not g_zijiMode:print(u"\nOOPS: The HIP installer could NOT successfully determine your active CKII\n"u"game folder! Thus, it cannot auto-detect whether you meet all the portrait DLC\n"u"prerequisites for CPRplus. All _other_ HIP modules can be installed, however.\n")

if cprMissingDLCNames is None: # Failed to auto-detect game folderCPR = enableMod(u"CPRplus ({})".format(g_versions['CPR']))

I managed to do this all by myself with no one helping me, because I actually OPEN THE TEXT FILES AND READ THEM.

It's really not that hard, even if you know nothing about coding.

i actually already did all this. i edited the files but the main.py always crashes.
So then i tried it before i edited it and it still crashes. its ok probaly my shitty computer thanks though

baden madagascar

No, it's not.
Okay, I am going to help you once. Install notepad plus to see the brackets and stuff being very nicely organized and marked.

You now should be able to do this.

I see you posting in the other general.
I am just glad this thread seems to be safe from the autistic shitposting.

i already fixed it on my other computer, this one gives me an error on line 970 and 578.its fine just means i can't play on my laptop

It's very early in development. I think it only works up to 50000 or 30000.

it's 9.1

Is there a start date after humans culturally enriched everyone else so that i dont have to deal with filthy inferior homos?

...

...

LOOK MOM I POSTED IT AGAIN

don't reply faggot

When did I ever let things get so out of hand?

I swear to god, Holla Forums just gets more and more autistic each year.

Is Europe in Rome?

...

...

Is Rome in Earth?

Are Italians Romans?

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

Does black ice add more provinces? I don't remember the western front being that stretched out when I played.

Eastern sorry, I'm pretty tired I'm comparing my pic and the game and it looks about the same.

No it's always like that.

Are Romans real?

why would you want to play runs like iron 3? do you enjoy lag the inability to declare war impossible to grasp tech trees and a stupid amount of provinces?

Good Zunbil strategies if you don't want to resort to becoming a vassal and creating a secret society? I've tried it hundreds of times by now and I often fail either due to the Abbasids declaring a war over one province or because my realm split up due to gavelkind.

...

Btw does anyone have any tips on playing 1836 Apocalypse?
I downloaded the HPM compatible version, but it seems really shallow. There aren't a lot of events in there.

I don't think so and you really don't need to add any new provinces. Maybe regions for better wargoals, but it's exactly as detailed as it should be. Any more would be silly.

New Paradox CEO :^)

From the thumbnail she looks quite German with the manjaw (I am German myself, some of our women have wide jaws).
But when I expand the image, she doesn't look very German.

The point is women in positions of power = bad/terrible outcomes

How old is she anyway? She looks old enough to suffer from baby fever.

There's an OPM on your east border that the Abbasids will DoW almost immediately. Beat them to it, siege the province and sit there forever. The AI will refuse to end war and will keep it's levies raised, leading to eternal vassal rebellion.

Convert to Khazar (educate children with married bitches) for all of the OP bonuses.

Looking forward to more "stronk women in history" dlc packs that will make the game unplayable. Except for the Ottomans, of course.

Do Normalfags even play as Ottomans? It shouldn't be too popular a choice.

Progressives don't care about what the normal consumer actually wants.

still pretty hot tbh

Anyone else has a wool shortage in HPM?
I always get disease events, because my pops don't get enough wool. I can fix that at least by having buying Wool in bulk and then giving it to my people from my stockpile.
Also for some reason my cotton RGOs are the poorest in my country and have lots of unemployed, which give me disease events, even if I do the thing above.

What can I do to fix my cotton farmers? Isn't cotton supposed to be more valuable than shit like grain or fruit?

HPM has serious shortage issues since the modder reworked the economy.

But it's weird, because he added a wool province in China, which should help with that problem.

No usually it's artillery and tanks later on. HPM is shit fam.

Changelog:
V1.40c:

I just looked through the txt files in the HPM mod folder. I found something. Under issues, child labor:

child_labor = {
administrative = yes
next_step_only = yes
child_labor_legal = {
#global_population_growth = -0.001
education_efficiency_modifier = -0.1
factory_throughput = 0.1
artisan_throughput = 0.1
RGO_throughput = 0.25
}

The # makes that line invalid. The question is, if HPM did that on purpose or not and if legal child labor is supposed to reduce population growth.

Fuck, run it through jewdar.
I don't like where this is going.
Captcha was Qgoylc, o nie.

Fix this cancer please

Thats irrelevant when the modder completely reworked pop needs and production values. Some modders can't understand that a working system is more important than realism in a shitty video game.

Actually, it's 20000 BC for now and will be 11000 BC in the next patch.

Can't fix the frogs.

To be honest I dig the fact that there's a bunch of overpowered nations that act like some sort of final boss of that given /gsg/, like whenever America joins the Allies or the Eternal Anglo in Victoria II, but oftentimes they add these bullshit focus trees or ideas or buffs or whatever that are clearly meant to show which nations are the devs' favorites.

How can any sane person possibly like the Ottoshits? Their userbase certainly doesn't, save for the Turks among them.

I've noticed that western unis tend to portray the Ottomans as a force of multicultural tolerance, so that may explain why. I will never forget how an American history student once told me that they were "two steps ahead" from every European nation of their time in terms of tolerance, secularism and technological advancement.

New version's out of HFM
Your mod crashes

Ah okay. So that's why HPM is by far the best mod, right?

Rape him in true Ottoman fashion.

Not my mod.

...

How did this even happen? You kicked Anglo ass and the Americans used the opportunity to fuck the Brits over the Oregon treaty?

Still in Beta (1.27d). If you want 1.27b, I could upload it.

nvm latest stable version's here:
moddb.com/mods/historical-flavour-mod/downloads/hfm-v1-27b

I swear someone from the HFM team is browsing this thread. Coincidence maybe? I mean a few versions back I added the very same kingdom to my submod.
Also, apparently v1.28 is out, so I'm gonna begin working on a new version.

rly meks u tink

Its an overrated trash for autists.

The fucker is stealing from every mod he can, he stole from my buddy's mod without crediting him a few months ago.

what mod?

Is this why God has left us?

What? What in the fuck? What is even that shit?

If this is an actual question, then this is a dating sim in which you can pick a girl? corresponding to each of the in-mod ideologies. It is not a joke, they're actually making it.

And let me guess, anarcho communism gets the girls wet?

I want mommy to make EvW and let me drink her milkies while I nuke Israel

It's fun.

New Thread

The Kaiserreich devs are a fucking disease
I hope someone develops their mod in another different way when their final demise shall come
