La Plata

Croatian fascists have awoken.

Reminder to support and notice shitposting

Wew lad.

Reminder to use the proper thread

>that silesian claw
Muh fuggin dik.
How did you take that without going over the AE limit? Did you get coalition'd?

That thread was made after this one.

Nope, surprisingly. The only person who could coalition me was Bohemia, and they didn't for some reason. I also declared war pretty much instantly as soon as I got Poland and Austria as allies.

Shieeet, do you have Diplo ideas or something?

Is the person who colorized hoi4 portraits still here?

>2009 – Same-sex marriage is legalized in Sweden.

why?

R&I IN TEARS

Why do people prefer flat maps? Serious question, don't just respond with or something.

Nope, I have Quality, and no ideas as of yet.

...

I just hate the way the 3d plastic meme maps look, tbvqh. In real life maps don't have retarded bumps everywhere.

They should either make the map a proper globe like superpower 2 or a flat paper map, like Victoria 2, everything else is cancer.

Because Paradox 3d maps are complete dogshit and look like they have tumors while snow just looks like a cake glaze

The map isn't flat, and I picked that mod just because of the brigther colours.

It's not meant to be you looking at a physical map though, is it? I always thought it was to represent the actual world, hence you have stuff like boats and soldiers marching around instead of abstract arrows and shit.

>he doesn't disable the soldier/boat 3d units

TURK'D

...

How does one pick Military ideas anyway? Every time I unlock an idea group, I spend like 10 minutes staring at the screen indecisive between Quality/Quantity/Offensive/Defensive. What helps you decide?

No, because by that logic the soliders would all be 1000 feet tall.

>Every time I unlock an idea group, I spend like 10 minutes staring at the screen indecisive
Literaly the same thing. I picked Quality because I'd have somewhat better soldiers with no extra cost

How would the normal terrain map mode even look on a flat map?

>calling a crusade on a remnant of Cathar Italy instead of Iberia

well fucking done

>ally gives my land in peace deal

but... i could still fight... i could still defend my land alone...
...
why?

IS HPM DEAD OR WHAT???

>England lost against 2 memes
Holy fucking hell.

Based Thomond

is conquering random nearby kingdoms then giving them to a dynasty member and making them independent ok in a tall ck2 campaign?

yes

thanks

This is how Ireland should be divided in real life.

no

it went like this
>gay French Valois
>10/10 Bathory
>three shitty Vasa kings
>shitty son of based magnate who was famous for being brutal against cossacks, ruled for like one year before supposedly choking on pickled cucumber
>based Sobieski
>shitty Wettin from Saxony who won in civil war against based polish candidate thanks to russian intervention
>another shitty Wettin
>polish puppet installed by catherine the great and russian army
but keep in mind that the quality of a country depended on nobles and they went from balanced and based middle class to a shitty oligarchy in mainly in 18 century

thanks

You are allied to Poland and Austria so only an insane AI would dow you even if you go over the limit.

Nice. Can't wait till I can get a new monitor. By time I've got the money, they'll hopefully work out whatever new tech kinks there are.

>I saw him a few days ago

Don't ask for the impossible.
