Old Thread

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

How does he do it?

New ck2 dlc when

Script

Who's behind the shitty memes? Is it reddit or just unfunny faggots? Example: some guy last thread responded to the "new thread" post with "this xDxD", why? What fucking failed memery is this?

franz

South German Patriots re-annexed bohemia into austria, which then immediately fell to the commies.

We'd annex bohemia off them but we have too much infamy.

In for HOI IV will be glorious.

We have 3-4 groups dedicated to shitpost this thread so its one of them

Couldn't you puppet austria?

Feels fucking great to be the fucking fucking of Westeros. I have betrothals with all of the great houses except the Lannisters because fuck them.

New as in released, or new as in upcoming?

Is shattered Europe for EU4 any good?
My autism forbids me to play it, but it could make for some really interesting games with differing big players instead of the usual france/spain/russia/ottos map.
On the other hand, playing with only small nations could result in the game being piss easy

Meanwhile, in Europe

It's good to be the king.

I think he means upcoming

As the world progressed towards the 18th century, central Europe was in a state of flux.

The Holy Roman Empire was waging a civil war after the unlawful annexation of Prague by Bavaria. The Netherlands were on encroaching on the edge of Paris, as France tried desperately to hold its state together. Britain united under Seymour leadership, and the Teutonic Order and Brandenburg are both going for ebin gross Germanium runs.

The south was somewhat quieter. The Byzantines held the Muslims at bay, and Portugal tended to its colonial holdings in Mexico and the Caribbean.

In Navarra, the king, Daniil I, was able to secure an iron grip on the throne, removing most of the old civil services that had gained power before his ascension. This was not the first occurrence of its kind in Europe - the French and the Bavarian rulers had also made themselves absolute monarchs in their own lands, whilst other nations such as Great Britain and Denmark, along with most of the rest of the HRE, allowed their parliaments to grow strong, and reduce the power of the monarch.

Plagues, then. Probably maybe.

>Teutonic Order

This crusade has gone too far

>play the Aegon start
Literally the easiest thing to do in all of the CK2 mods but comfy as fuck. It's funnier and more awarding to go for Essos instead.

Niggers btfo

How are your massive colonial holdings being administered?
Minority rule on a scale never before seen by perhaps the seven or so polish colonial bureaucrats living overseas?

Europeans are flooding in, that's what matters

What's the best way to go about a Romania game? Start as Moldova, suck up to Russia, and wait until N&I?

Here you go lad

How did you start out? Released from Germany or Russia? Either way impressive tbqf, I guess it is already 1900 though

@144038004
"no."

mod.

Which member should I play?

prussia

Since it's acceptable to have Lithuania as a sphere or puppet instead of owning it directly, does that mean we'll inherit them from using the decision if we liberate instead of taking the state, or will they remain a sphere?

Fucking finally
How Russified is it by now?

lad..

After being doubly assaulted by Brandenburg and Russia, the Teutonic order lost significant amounts of land in the Beloozero and Prussian regions, as well as releasing parts of Poland.

After this, with the backing of her government, the Duchess of Brandenburg proclaimed herself Queen of the Prussians, and proceeded to exit the Empire, following the example of the Netherlands.

With this, the strongest members remaining within the Empire are Meissen, who control the Austrian region and parts of the Rhineland, Bavaria, who survived a coalition against their taking of Prague, and Avignon, who stretch from Provence to Pisa.

I can feel the grossgermanium happening lads

France :^)

gommunism :)

gonna ask again:
which mods m8?

>pink prussia
God's elongated testicles, why lad?

Wilno is holding up alright. The other areas have it worse.

And does anyone know?

That's one big ERE.

>Roman

Burgundy. Make my helmet go on backwards.

In other news, why is this mod even a thing? It's not like there's any point to le ebin HRE blob.

vobis

Oh, sorry lad. Flap Map, Simple Borders, Typus Orbis Terrarum, CK2 Export.

I'm guessing it's a problem with being a CK2 export, I have a mod that was meant to make them Prussian Blue but it didn't work and I can't be bothered troubleshooting it as it normally works.

They don't have Rome lad :^)

>>>/aargsg/

r8 my portugay game m8s but pls don't h8

You hovered over the effects, not the requirements.

>I can't be bothered troubleshooting it as it normally works.
t. general sir ian standish monteith hamilton

Inspired by the Prussian exploits in Germany, Daniil I declared for the city of Toulouse, that should rightfully be in Basque control.

After ensuring the loyalties of Portugal and Great Britain, the first battle occurred in Toulouse itself, where the 40 thousand strong entire standing army of Toulouse was wiped out in an outstanding offensive, utilising the volley techniques developed by the Dutch combined with the fast cavalry flanks first used by the French.

Nice blob!

FRCA chimped out and exploded, I bet the USA was behind this

I'd post a gif of a dead guy puking accid on a couch but my mobile's battery is dead so yeah you got away with it this time congratulations

>the same thing that happens literally every game happened
Fuck off back to /r/paradoxplaza, you piece of shit.

Point being that since lithuania doesn't exist, there's no 'inherit lithuania' in the effects. Idk if it would be there if I had a sphered lith.

Doesn't matter, though. I've justified a war to take it.

Wish our glorious legions luck.
