Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

reposting because truth triggers /pol/ conspies

should have stayed in 1836 borders desu

White.

Keep the /pol/ shit in the old thread pls

How did you beat the US?

Keep in mind some tools only work in java 7 or java 8.
Aside from that just run the fucking thing, there's like only one file you can run in the downloads anwyay.

Why is playing outside of Europe in EU so fucking boring?

cause they aren't white

>implying japan isn't fun after unification

...

are there any mods for victoria II that remove the retarded "too many great powers" limit to replace it with a less gamey mechanic?

>R&I is STILL using the wrong infopic with a shitty blurry resolution

epic frankly
sage

Built forts on low supply limit provinces, built shitton of arty which then was supported by mobilized farmers, focused on army tech. When the war starts just concentrate your army, let US siege your provinces and split out, zerg the split armies and/or bait their armies to attacking you """lone"""" army.

>>>/cuck/

...

To be fair it's hard as fuck to get institutions in Japan without blobbing.

Pretty sure that's hardcoded.

>>other threads made earlier than his and more active get deleted
The other thread was made after this one though out of sheer butthurt and it was way less active

to clarify in case I was too vague: I mean the limit of the number of great power allies a great power can have (and thus will reject you, if you are a great power and the great power you try to ally is already allied with a great power)

pretty much this, and the fact that the in-game "tariffs" aren't actually tariffs but excise tax make the game unplayable half of the time

To be fair with him, the economy and the Gini tools are broken.

No they aren't.

No that's hardcoded.
Tariffs are tariffs, they are an extra pops pay the government to import stuff.

> No that's hardcoded.
fugg :-DDDD

time to kill myself

>why can't I get a lot of GPs to do all the hard work for me
Maintaining the balance of power makes a lot of sense in V2

>>why can't I get a lot of GPs to do all the hard work for me
no, thats obviously not what I want and youre just being defensive

what I am saying is that in contrast to everything else in the game, a hardcoded limit of great power allies is hearts of iron 4 level of game design

what the alternative could be, I have no idea, but that limit is dumb

Not him but the limit makes sense.

just make it like eu4 with a rival system and a GP that you are allied with would have other GP rivals they wouldnt want you to ally

even that would be less lazy

That would be retarded, the rival system in EU4 is already retarded that it breaks up historical, long lasting friendships because "lol no one else can be my rival".

Well then base the formula on different things.
I think it would actually work better in Victoria where you have populations, economics, and ideology to take into account

m8 the war analyzer works perfectly still but the Gini analyzer does literally nothing

dont forget nationalism and invention of mass media propaganda

>tfw the germaniums is not groß

fuck wrong pic

>tfw battle of oppeln

"The longer the battle lasts the more force we'll have to use!"

t.Georgy "russia player" Zhukov

The Gini thing works AFAIK but not the other economy one that shows GDP and all of that
Someone should fix it because it's very nice

And the economy analyzer has a link to this old forum page. Neither work with Java 8.

Post Canada's war stats pls

...

What is this cat's favorite nation to play in a gsg

That is probably the worst looking KUK I've ever seen

Mamluks

It works with java 7

yeah so someone should update it

That war was a load of autism, I still don't know how the USA player could be that retarded

Turks are white and based

>your population doesn't have enough jingoism to add another wargoal
>your population's opinion matters in an absolute monarchy
>not just having people who support pacifism etc. gain militancy or consciousness when you add a wargoal
bravo paracocks

Expected better from yesterday's posts desu. I imagine most of the Canadian casualities were back when they were still controlled by the AI?

> we dont want to show swastika because hitler and jews bad thing happen no no not good
> want to massacre thousands of natives while colonizing america? go right ahead

One Jewish life is worth more than a million n*tiv*s

>giving women full rights in 1066 is historically accurate because there was one queen who was a regent for two months

Yeah, after the player took over he start getting some insane wins. This is after being at war with both the USA and UK too. The USA player was absolutely retarded and only mobilized once all of NE was occupied. He only built 150 brigades as late 1890s USA too, compared to Canada's 50

In CK2+, is the flat 30% morale bonus for armies and extra law slider that potentially gives larger demense, lower revolt risk and better relation with theocracies and republics at the cost of giving progresivelly bigger malus to relations with feudal lords and reduced income worth the flat 25% income penalty?

>lads posting on /qa/ still
wew keep it up

as someone who likes hoi3, I am booting up darkest hour

what should I expect?

fuck how did you make that work reee

>attacking an equally sized army across the St. Lawrence in 1899
What did the UK player mean by this?

w-what

Uninstalled Java 8 and installed the last update of Java 7 :^)

>Russia
Lad can you play some shitty nation like Tibet for half a year or so and then run that?

MP when based SIM. We could finish this one off today.

Where is the file in HPM that deals with assimilation?

The -20% for core pops is kind of broken and I want to delete the line for it

Denmark gets a vassal revolt event and will sometimes annex Holstein, its rare

I overestimated Canada's research. I thought they'd be 5 techs behind or some shit as they usually are. Then I remembered I released them in like 1850...

>Already owns all cores by 1843 and a GP
What's your secret lad?

UK player was kinda shit desu, falling that far behind Germania and A-H.

in the pop_types.txt in the common folder

This and the poland rebellion are fucking pointless, they should spawn with some troops at least.

Nah I'm only behind on prestige, pretty sure I should be top in industry and military with Germany down.

Cheating

I'm sandboxing, just messing around with shit

thanks!

A-H is 1 1 1 iirc. (my military needs to be rebuilt.)

t.Russiums

which one is better, ck2+ or hip?
or are they all shit and vanilla is better?

Someone set that assimilation modifier to -1% instead of -20% to apparently good effect, you might want to try that

I'll host in 10 minutes
1 1 2 you still have #1 in military

Sure. Here's GDP per capita in the meantime. Czechia leading by a mile still but I'm proud of being ahead of Switzerland desu
Shame it probably counts colonies too, so being ahead of Sweden means nothing as they have the Congo. I can see Portugal being ahead of me if they didn't count in colonies too.

Hosting Victoria 2 MP with HPM

IP : 213.64.28.209

Checksum : PSGK

Continuing a old save. Currently in 1909. Some nations are still open and strong. Germany is pretty screwed but should be able to bounce back to at least #4. France is also very weak so Germany isn't completely screwed.

Join up!

t. /r/subredditdrama

fag jany

starting game rn desu

t.russiums

Wait 5 mins pls

desu I would join, but joining in a game this far in seems redundant

There should still be another world war in this game so join up! You can always play Germany and restore her to greatness. I don't think the Germany player will rejoin so be white and based and join.

W&B

>BELGIUM

You guys still in lobby? If so, I'll join, just give me a few minutes.
