We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

>Pops will be slightly more socialist
Can be good or bad, depending if that socialism is taken to the extreme left or becomes one of the national kind.

That's not a modifier retard

repostan from old bread

If I want to play a slightly altered history start do I play EU4 extended timeline or mod Vicky II

Vote DH you faggots, HoI3 doesn't have that good narrative and political depth that DH allows

Cherokee and metis is uncivilized when released

et start date 1bc

>HoI3 doesn't have that good narrative and political depth
Nor does DH, unless you consider clicking in sliders once in a while "political depth"

What if I want it to be a game with flavor rather than just blobbing

>another shitposter whines about minor things on HPM chapter

xD

tried last thread, trying again

So, being from Luxembourg, most of my time playing /gsg/ has been as the duchy in 1066 CK2

But now i feel like changing it up a bit with a proper megacampaign

So, tell me, gsg

the earlier or the later House of Luxembourg? If the later, John the Blind of Charles IV? I'd like to add his son Wenceslas and not be such a massive fuckup but I can't pick him in CK2 du to the last start date being long before he reigned.

No, I mean the possibility to create events and more easily manipulate countries and provinces to fit the story and make it more interesting.

then you play mod vicky 2
the amount of flavor eu4 has is pathetic and you need mods if you want the country you re playing to feel alive.

I have shown most of Europe the truth having liberated Rusland, Ukraine, Spania, Slovakia, I will now work towards liberating the rest of Europa to have a free and prosperous future that we are allowed peace and to build for our posterity.

youtube.com/watch?v=-ZujhoHZBsg

not him (), but what mods would i need for flavorful EU4?

Creating events isn't political depth.

You can create events in hoi3 as well you know.

Nobody cares about Luxembourgian history lad.
also, please stop stealing our flag.

>HoI3 doesn't have that good narrative and political depth that DH allows
While DH/Kaiserreich will both certainly have more events, I'll do my best to put narrative into HoI3 if it's selected. I'll probably read up on Chiang and the nationalist government at the time and then take advantage of the OOB to make posts emphasizing the front line and the actions of individual generals, so it'll read more like a war history than my traditional focus on individuals.

I may or may not also use a vanilla+ mod in HoI3's case. A friend recommended one to me which supposedly gives China some pretty good flavor.

mp when

country specific mods and age specific mods. i usually use rossetta, historical extended events and a country based mod for the country im currently playing

I'll trust you my man

Does it leave the game to still be all about blobbing?

>tfw 2 smert for memes

nah, it becomes more of getting your historical borders and what if borders if this ruler didnt fuck it up.

What mod is this?

>Nobody cares about Luxembourgian history lad.

>what is Golden Bull?
>what is main rival to the Wittelsbach and Habsburg families before Wenceslas the fuck-up fucked everything up?
seriously, if it hadn't been for that fuck-up Wenceslas the fuck-up, Luxembourg wouldn't have been a fuck-up and we'd be more historically relevant other than the birthplace of the EU, or the nickname "Gibraltar of the North" due to it's military importance

That's HPM.

>a country based mod for the country im currently playing
Which?

Autocracy makes your pops like based dictatorships though

It is the mod historical HPM project mod module for the videogame Victoria 2 in its patch 3.03 or 3.04 Wiz's betapatch plus the expansions A House Divided and Heart of Darkness.

Does NWO include Vietnam War events?

its an abstract kind of meme

lol who gives a shit about that shithole lol

still a non-country

it depends. right now im playing as byzantium with the third odyssey mod. my next run is going to be castile with the mod reign of charles V. after that im planning a prussian campaign with contest europe. and then i think im going to either play as france or russia or byzantium. i have the mod for byzantium but i need to research the mod for france or russia.

Why are you reposting this with the same text as the last time?

>showprovinceid

SOMEONE HOST HPM MULTIPLAYER

>grosukrainiums

>non-country
you know, I know you're baiting me
But i'll bite

How is it a non-country?

How does your Grossbyzantium look?

>Not fixing bordergore and simulating proper treaties

sup woodwall are you going to play a gp and lose another war

t. GR

its not the same text and not the same image :s
i only used it to occupy my units because i accidentally moved them when the siege was at 90%

honestly right now im kind of disgusted of how much i have blobbed. i will post the screenshot later since im not at home right now. but lets just say that there are only 4 kangs left.

It's more of a country than belgium, gotta give ye that

Not much has been going on except a few pointless wars, and oh, I got rid of my republic and my new monarch is pretty based.

If someone makes Big Square Frames compatible w/ NWO or vice versa, I'll suck your dick.

Mr Church hill has declared we are 20 million Germans too many, soon there will be no more churchhill!

But our people no longer stand alone, we have allies from all over Europe to defend our revolution from these warmongers and profiteers.

What's so nice about 4 1 1s all the time? I fucking hate it. And you can't royal marriage or inherit other countries. I see no particular pros on having a republic, desu.

>german dialect
Germany was a meme made by Bismark, luxemburg has way more legitimacy. Germany makes as much sense as Romania, both memes.

>What's so nice about 4 1 1s all the time?
Just keep re-electing the same dude for a 6/6/6, dumbass. You get a lot of Republican Tradition back through events and some policies/ideas/religions.

HOST MP

t. butthurt frenchman

>These long-established and recognized countries that make complete sense ethnically and linguistically are not countries because i say so
fuck off retard

>Tradition back through events and some policies/ideas/religions.
No I don't. -16 every 4 year and only +4. If I do this all the time it will never get even. Not in my experience anyway.

is that way

Liberal nationalism is a meme too, a very plebeian one and aimed against legitimate monarchical governments.

How's this for institution spread? I'm trying to slow it down outside of europe

k here it is

as much as we luxembourgers and dutch hate each other for stealing each others flags, at least we can agree on how much belgium sucks

did make me genuinely laugh

full disclosure, i would rather we have the old flag of the red lion on blue and white stripes, at least as long as we're a monarchy

and yet, we seem to have a longer influence on history than the dutch

without the golden bull, it would have been a lot harder for the habsburgs to retain the imperial throne
without the contributions of Charles IV leading to his being the pater patriae of Bohemia, the country would've gone under (although Wenceslas the fuck-up of fuck-ups almost did that anyway)
without Luxembourg, there might be no EU, brainchild of Robert Schuman, a Luxembourger
and on top of that, Luxembourg was known as the "Gibraltar of the North" for a reason

t. Luxembourg, the portuguese colony

You won't break even, no, but you can maintain a 6/6/6 for several terms before you need to start over. And by that point you've usually got more than enough mana investment to take it easy with two out of three for a while.

>green in Europe
>Bits of yellow in Korea, China, and Japan as well as India
Pretty good

Go to "technology" mapmode instead, and show us how's that like.
