You at least owe us an explanation, you piece of shit. I fucking waited for you. Don't pretend you don't come here, because you've replied before now.

Rhetoric of hate (Unlocked with Revolution and Counter-revolution) and either an absolute monarchy, proleteriat dictatorship, or fascist dictatorship.

Usure if presidential dictatorship can do it, I don't often play them.

>War with Japan
Surprise surprise, the AI wasn't that shit after all

highly industrialized communist danubian federation

Reminder that Bzboos r based

is it still blobing if I'm unifying a region (with defined borders) under a single banner?

>that fascist italy flag
muh dig
You should install squareflagmod, lad.

What should I take when I'm done BTFO'ing these idiots?
fucking coalitions man, they declared on right after I lost most of my army to m*sl*m rebels

No

secure the Anatolian borders and get a march to take the Caucasus region

They were fighting a three way war against Germany, Persia and Japan.
Just socialist with Military-Industrial Complex. Weird game all in all, France went Military-Industrial too

General plan ost is a bunch of bullshit, but the real life siege of Leningrad was a war crime

I think the appeal of KR is just the underdog circlejerk.

The final redpill is blobbing is based PURELY on aesthetics. As long as it looks good it isn't blobbing. But no matter how small it is if it looks shit then it's still blobbing. Many people confuse the term to mean "taking excessive land", but it doesn't, it means arbitrarily taking land, "blobbing" into land that doesn't look good.

I'll soon. I'm guessing that it's in the pastebin in OP? Have some border gore

good to know, thanks

I bought hoi4 and turns out it's not as horrifying as it was from what I've seen at launch
Some systems (production and equipment, focus) are really neat
Others (mostly experiences, army command organisation, surplus equipment, outdated planes/tonks) are pretty bad
Overall I found it pretty easy to jump into unlike hoi3 (but it's not Darkest hour/10)

of course I played Kaiserreich from the start

except when just changeowner like that fag

Changeownering for roleplaying purposes is OK

Replace the swastika with the flash and circle and it's perfect.

Fuck its over guys, I'm burning 500 fuel a day and I haven't reach moscow or stalingrad.

quitter

There should be an option in HPM to release the free city of Istanbul in a great war victory

Rate muh purges
Also what should I do about Chaldeans

Is this his redemption arc lads?

>wanting to wipe out based Nestorians

Keep them parked in the Middle East.

WE BRING A SAVING REVOLUTION

Aah, yes, butthurt redditors still haven't left.

This German AI is ridiculous, they sent troops all the way from Germany, through Hungary, into Turk*y and now Egypt.

nothing wrong with genocide as long as you genocide everyone

It's not ethnic cleansing if you cleanse all ethnicity.

Is Texas a good country to play repeatedly to learn the game?

I figure a small population and room for expansion would promote a newbie-friendly environment.

Also, should I be playing vanilla or HPM?

Is it possible to get the CPRplus module with Hip working with a not so legal copy of CK2? Or any other decent portrait mod for that matter?

Any EUIV DLC that fixes the ridiculously timid AI and their negotiating?

I feel like a dick because whenever I'm a co-belligerent in a war I have to peace my way out and abandon my ally since that's the only way I can get the land I occupy. My AI allies never give me anything when they sue for peace regardless of how much I helped them.

One time I was France and helped Venice crush Genoa and Florence (with Austria helping Genoa). I had occupied Genoa completely and got nothing for it.

no. you would be too weak to learn anything. Your margin of maneuver will br too narrow. start as belgium or the netherlands.

Alright, thanks!

Are you marking territories as of vital importance? If you do this you will get stuff you want at least half the time.

No, the one in AFPG's pastebin. The other one doesn't show the flags in full size.

How would I go about doing that?

I'll preface this by saying that if you're playing greedy you should be doing what you're doing anyway (peacing out separately and taking the minor trust hit).

I'm going by memory here but right click on your country and then, on the right hand side of this tab, left click the third option. Once you've done this and the map has changed, left click a province to show everyone you want it (it should turn red). If you want the same provinces as an ally, they will be keen to stop being your ally. You can also do this to see what provinces are of vital interest to other nations.

Play HPM as Brazil. Brazil has no threats since it's the strongest in Sudamérica. Japan is easy to play in vanilla and is good for learning the game. I haven't played Japan in HPM but it seems slightly more confusing.

turn the difficulty from normal to hard and you'll immediately see a difference in AI behavior

r8 so far

>Probably until the weekend, but who knows.
please laddo

Even old /pol/ wasn't properly redpilled, they were Hitlerist good goys and probbably libertarian as well :-DD

Can R'hllor get rid of the Eunuch trait?

Ah, hmm yes, perfect.

"No"

DELET

wasn't this like 12 threads ago lad

It's going to be so gross, and you're all going to see it, I guarantee it. Believe me.

Whoever came up with the idea of the stressed trait should be castrated

So what should I do now with this shitty meme game?

spend the rest of the game fixing borders for every country

fix your borders and try to colonize america

moshi moshi?

goyim-kun desu

Ah moshi moshi nanashi desu, eto urmum ima iru desu ka?

Ally Senussi, seen as you clearly can't beat the Ottomans by yourself, they'll do it for you.

In theory any way
