WHITE MEN

La Plata

*pukes inside*

Hey, guys, I'm playing Victoria 2 but how the hell do you get more pops? Did the retarded get occupied for militancy and then take healthcare reforms, but it hasn't done much. Not even a dictstorship but I just can't get enough pops.
Playing as Greece and trying to settle Asia minor btw.

Finally

Why don't you do it? Also, how do you start as Albania?

>tfw no classical music mod for vicky
end me lads

You need to be a democracy to stop pops migrating away. Also, take techs like medicine and germ prevention to increase pop growth. You can also use a craftsmen exploit to easily assimilate places.

Someone was working on a mod like that. They combined the V1 soundtrack with the V2 one, you should do an archive search of /mu/ to find it.

WHITE AND BASED

I'm burn out of Vicky for now desu, don't think I'll get around playing it this week.
You either release it as the Ottomans if you want comfy or play as another GP, force the Ottomans to release them and switch tags for a realistic/challenging playthrough.

Best standard divisions in HoI3? I know infantry is 2xinf 1x art, but what about armoured? See so many combinations of ARM, MOT, and MECH, which one is optimal?

Stop shitposting
Play Black ICE

Damn, I'm planning on doing a CSA playthrough after my germaniums run, so I won't be able to do that for atleast a week, good suggestion though. Got any other good ones?

>tfw want to do a mongolia aar but it will most likely be nothing at the start while I try civilize

>Stop shitposting
>Play Black ICE

Black ice is too bloated for me, they have fuckin Hitler/Stalin brigades.
>tfw no comfy kim il-sung brigade

Black ICE is unironically fun
Prove me wrong

V2?
Mongolia is a fun run. Increase relations with Russia and just use them to blob into China, also Japan before you become a GP, you can't get two GP allies if you yourself are a GP.

>they have fuckin Hitler/Stalin brigades.
Wich is nice so You can actually move them around and lose them instead of just getting an event saying "oh no berlin is taken hitler died :(" or something

It literally just spawns enemy divisions if you start winning, it's trash. Plus it has a meme "select your character" chain at the start, and it crashes every five minutes.

Start it after you civilize, should be fun desu
Not many no, but I did think about a fascist and moralist Sikh Empire recently.
Also, I don't think I've ever seen anyone here actually doing a republican Turkey run, even though it's not an exotic playthrough idea.

Can you paradrop them? Would be fun to fly Hitler to Argentina.

Yeah I'll take some pictures before if anything interesting happens before civilization

No idea, but I think you can only Paradrop some special units (paratroopers obviously) but you can transport most shit from an airport to another one

Republican Turkey would be fun, go full TYT and gas all non Turks. As it stands they already colonise the middle east every game, so with genocide it would be a complete turkwash.

>tfw hyped but remember it took me some good hours to westernize when I played as them

By paradrop I simply meant put in a plane. Vanilla doesn't even let you put any non Paratroopers in planes, even just to transport.
How far are you planning to go? Just inner Mongolia or full Mongolian empire?

is there any mod that lets you rename the baltics if you own them as Germany in Victoria 2?

Hopefully full

bravo gigau

I remember I tried to play a west Africa game, because someone posted their gross toucoloriums here and I wanted to do it, but I only just civilised before colonisation and I still got memed on by France, Britain, and for some reason the Dutch.
Top fucking kek, good luck. Russia does seem to always be weak as fuck though.

>muh uncriticisable beta
Honestly, MEIOU has always been shit, D&T has always been where it's at.

Corruption generates less corruption?

>the other threads is a steamcordplaza thread made 100 posts early populated solely by eu4 playing redditors
lmao

They had to do somethjng to stop it perpetually climbing to 100.
Plus corruption does actually generste less corruption, t. ancap

Try Hitlermod

What's an underrated but comfy HPM run? Thinking somethimg in South America.

I thought you died.
did you actually finger afpg

Download link?

see

AARnon, please come back :(

So is EU4 actually playable now it has a dozen DLCs or is it still trash?

1× Agree

still trash

you'll get memed every 50 years

OoB is objectively shit and HoI4 was right to remove it, anyone who disagrees is just trying to be contrarian.

Pops were objectively shit and Vic3 was right to remove it, anyone who disagrees is just trying to be contrarian.

"no"

That's completely different and you know it. Pops aren't tedious and actually add to the game, OoB is tedious and doesn't add to the game.

Crusades were objectively shit and CK3 was right to remove them, anyone who disagrees is just trying to be contrarian.

How do you mean "memed"?
What could make it playable?

proper pops

>meme events
>disasters
>horrible borders everywhere
>bs wars

the list goes on and on

Crusades in CK2 are shit though.

>aarnon posting in the wrong thread
why even live

Most of the disasters are historical though.
Why do they even post there? It's like a compulsion to them. The thread was made 100 posts early and half of it is Steamcordplaza replying to R&I.

>estates disasters are events

Fuck off, Gigau, MEIOU is bloat trash.

*historical

I guess they just look at which thread has more posts

>implying estates didnt exist in real life
Lad, this better be fucking bait.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estates_of_the_realm

Which would usually make sense, but when one was made 100 posts early and is full of shitposting it doesn't.

>playing CK2
>not fucking horses
this is in unmodded game as well

>this is in unmodded game as well
What? Then why is the Sinai and other deserts wastelands?

do lunatic characters get the option to have horses as concubines without cheese?

>glitterhoof
I don't watch it, so I don't know, but isn't that the name of one of the MLP characters?

i meant, whilst this is modded, this is in the unmodded game as well.

That is not unmodded, lad.

Oy vey

>whilst
fuck off shakespear

Top fucking kek, this can't be unmodded.
>strong
>ATTRACTIVE
>imbecile
>sympathy for islam
>jew
>that one mule trait
Come the fuck on, lad, this has to be your doing, I'm fucking dying here.

Won 50 warscore through battles, now just need to get +20% occupation and I can anenx them.

ckiiwiki.com/Ze_Lunatic_(Conclave)

Scratch that, France always surrender.

is this really an uncommon thing to say? i've said it my whole life and i don't even have the tism.

Fuck, look at Italy, it's like how Poland moved west after WW2.

>Jewish horse with a sympathy for Islam

>choose to take french colonies
>was only one in war
>all nations that have a truce with france get land
>i get nothing
>despite being the only one to dismantle them
really makes me think

It's common in Anglostan, but not in the rest of the world.

Describe what this looks like, to you, lads, it's like a seeing eye puzzle.
I see a snake, a reindeer, and a rabbit.

A Bonsai tree in a burning hellscape.

A girl dancing while holding a massive bomb

you need therapy

What part is the bomb?

a jew

its a big kippah

A dog-flamingo-donkey hybrid.

The diagonal bar, you can see the warhead on the left and the fins on the top right
On top of the bomb are her hair

don't worry, alex is going to fix that eventually

Just like he'll add 1815?

Why is AARnon so dumb holy shit

Yeah, why?

Because he won't.

Of course he will, what makes you say that?

>gas france
>they try to ally me
hmm
Do I accept?

Because he left for 6 months and didn't come back, now it looks like he'll never add it.

Like this?

No the bomb goes all the way to where you drew the tits
And the red part is also hair
