New ck2 dlc when

autumn

/gsg/ guy, you should add this to your mod replacing the generic communist guy in albania

Credits to user for making this

desu I kind of prefer the colorized pictures. It's more standardised and it looks comfier

Did Steven Avery do it That is the question, but you also have to provide me with 3 pieces of evidence from each opposite side of the trial (or plural trials haha) or else I won't pay much mind to your rhing. Also offers did Tonya harding do it. Also if I were playing as an eu4 customcountry "america" but I put it in the Europe would Avery not want it to be alove, he's Canadian so it would disrupt his culture. But you know. I always wanted to Fukc a cute cozy little colonial genoaesean empire like teehee that was my face.

...

That's all for a while. I will start another full test, see how the AI handles it and the economy.

will do, thanks for the suggestion

It does look comfier, very comfy

Is this still a major event?

If not I think it should be, if gives the other countries an indication that the CW is about to start.

luckily some guy is doing the good old b&w photos mod

Could you also fix the italian flag? Just use the one in the afp

Fuck no, Churchill is almost dead in his pic and Hirohito looks like some fat slob fuck

i am not the mod creator but i found these screenshots for a planned world war one mod

How come turds of iron is allowed but stellaris is not?

what's wrong with the Italian flag? The one with the Eagle on it was only used in the German puppet state 'The Italian Social Republic' after the kingdom of italy defected to the allies in 1943 I believe.

in hoi4 there's a really annoying sound that happens seemingly randomly, sometimes every 2-3 in game hours other times it doesn't happen for a few days. either way it's happening way too much and it's killing me

it sounds like someone's failing to start a car. anyone know what it is and how to stop it?

nothing wrong with it

Description:
Start in 1910 with one of the Major Countries of this time and fight through the series of events that lead the world in a bloodiest conflict: the First World War.
Become a member of the Triple Entente or of the Central Powers and help your side in the Great War.
From the French-German border, the Balkans Wars, the Russian Revolution and more to come, this complete overhaul mod includes a new map, new events, new leaders, new governments, new units, new tech tree, new game mechanics and improved AI.

No, i meant the monarchy one, it's supposed to have a crown on top of the shield

WHY THE HELL THEY DIDNT PUT A MONARCHIST FACTION???

Ben Garrison commander mod pls

An abstract kind of meme is going on here

No, it isn't. None of the minor events - Brown's raid and the Sandford decision - are. They aren't very important outside of the US.

I know it kinda gave the player clues about when the war was about to start, but now you need to either read the news or deal with it as it pops up. The Civil War even is still a major event so you will know.

Kinda makes more sense as you won't be able to plan precisely when the war will start.

South Africa fascism flag ( South African Gentile National Socialist Movement,)

@144967698
wrong thread

Current Objectives:
1. Work on the First World War map (focus on Europe for the Alpha)
2. Work on the major countries of the First World War (France, British Empire, German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, Russian Empire, United States of America, etc.)
3. Work on the units (Renault FT-17 tank, Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr.I, etc.)
4. Work on the tech tree (Trench warfare, Gaz Mask, etc.)
6. Work on the Leaders Portraits (Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II, King George V, etc.)

Should I become communist or fascist turkey?

how dare you post the greatest symbol of hatred ever created goy

Some nice Soviet Lakes

I already see a problem with italy having istria

what do you mean
>they
Wolferos is a small independent game

Has anyone here found out how to access the hidden parts of the forum if you didn't buy the game?

This reflects my experience accurately.

HoI4 is for the Civ audience.

Neat. I can't wait for willy to ignore Belgium and drag Switzerland into trench warfare

Yeah, you buy the game

fucking johan

didn't anyone at paradox actually test the game before releasing it?

>I don't know how to read

You said how to access hidden parts if you didn't buy the game, not without buying the game. If you didn't buy the game, you buy them and access it

t. Podcat

Fascist or Communist turkey?

>German Reich

I always want to kill myself when two different languages are combined because of >autism

fascist, take back ottoman empire

I didn't see the Border Ruffians event pop up in none of the tests, so I will check that out while the test goes on.

as in you're shilling your own mod here

>turn to easy
>crank out alpine troops with anti tank and artillery
>mass firepower doctrine
>crank out forts
>manual defense with reinforcements in prague
>trained units
>GB and France stand by me

smoked in like 5 minutes of gameplay, Czechoslovakia is in a tough spot.

what would the difference be if I was actually posting my own mod? HPM mod is posted in here and no one calls him a shill, is this just the way we treat new mods?

November 30 marks the 1 years year of fighting against the Soviets
while my manpower is at 0, my divisions at 2/3 strength, and industry bombed to hell, I plan to fight until the Germans declare operation barbarossa
then I will be part of the axis

>implying the proper approach isn't replacing all portraits with BW photos

Anybody got any ideas for a fascist Australia flag? Is this too much of a meme?

wew

I want Africa in the mid 60s and early 90s. So many OPMs and huge weak countries with authoritarian gameplay, its basically HOI IV team deathmatch

How's HOI4?

Obviously I don't expect it to be 3 complex.
But is it a fun painting sim at least?

Lad, if you used a swastika shaped kangaroo that would be less of a meme than that flag

wew lad
Just change the union jack to some swastika of sort

wew

Probably extensively. It doesn't appear that the game has any hardcoded railroading so it's very unpredictable between each run. Only thing that stick out like a sore thumb is senseless German warmongering. They literally can't stop declaring wars.

Regardless of how bad the existing ones are going.

i want to keep the Union Flag, the fascist Australian parties of the time were loyalists to Britain.

But then you would have to worry about the UN intervening in all your wars.

Do you think its intentional that you cant ship troops to a place that there is already a land path? am i missing something or did Paradox fuck up. I kind of wish i could ship Tank regiments from Columbia into Texas

god that mod looks so fucking sexy

Change th union jack to the british fascist flag? i dont have a pic but the one with the flash i think

i got u senpai

5000 hours in mspaint

>sending 5 Belgian peacekeepers

might reduce your organization by 1%

>blitzkrieg
>pincer movements
>encirclement
>narrow push towards critical areas

so, almost like barbarossa?

hows this for new zealand?

pretty sure you're fucking up somehow, maybe Texas is too far from Columbia? Make sure the divisions you're moving are in a province that has a port, and you're rightclicking on another port. maybe try transporting them to florida

For shekel4 ww2 edition, is there any mod changing the airwar to something not completly black and white? I want to have an air war going longer than 3 days as it's now.

Why are small nations in hoi4 so much fun to play compared to larger ones?

>fun

that's irrelevant

I mean if i take a port in Texas i cant transport troops to reinforce the Marines because there is a land path through central America my troops just default to marching . Unless Its different from shipping Troops from Japan to South America

t. alex

Should king carol II be the leader of non-aligned romania?

How did DDRJake beat the world as el salvador, whenever I try to retake Central America the US intervenes. I agree with you though, this game is made for 80s proxy wars

>Germany declares war on the USSR without ever taking Poland and having already been almost entirely conquered by the Allies
>they never even have to fight them at all because they're about to capitulate to the British
>But it drags Japan into it while they're still stuck in China and I'm only just starting to really ratchet up production
No Cold War today lads, guess it's time to throw it all in with the Nips and kill some gommies

Cawfee masterrace

anyone here lately tried greater new england / nova britannia?
or is it unplayable nowadays?

>Decide to be a radical dude and play Radical Yugoslavia
>Things are going well, joined the Axis, Germany takes Poland with out having France or Britain join
>Ended the civil war with no issue in 2 months
>Hitler decides that the best way to attack France is through the fucking Swiss Alps
Thanks Adolf, this all your fault.

>But is it a fun painting sim at least?
Absolutely

i'd unalign his romania if you know what I mean

beat him to death, because I'm not homosexual and I hate gypsies

Maybe they could work the UN in a way where they will intervene or "declare war" on someone who has too high world tension

alt. history? its more fun/interesting doing something as a nation that never accomplished much

can we see a screenshot

USA wont intervene in your wars until they research the Pax Americana national focus. Also not sure what faction he did it as, but if you're in a faction with someone else, and you declare war on someone they guaranteed. they wont declare war on you.

>a fucking fern

Repressing your feelings is not a good thing user, you should accept your feelings.

And then this happens.

/gsg/ mod guy, can you put greek cores in cyprus?

never trust a gommie

are civilian casualties also counted in that?

They do this a lot and i don't get it. Couldn't they at least give Switzerland some neutralitiy modifier so they won't get attacked, just like it was IRL?

>relying on the dirty švab

I had to push the south together with Italy, while germany just chilled on the Maginot for more than a year.

Honestly the only thing the UN does to african nations who engage in wars are economic sanctions, often against civ populations. Its pretty laughable.

Pic related, written by a cynical white journalist was great

probably not

>just introduce an abstract "neutrality" modifier, so it keeps things "historical"

t.HPM

Thats true but I imagine if the UN saw some African nation going on a continental conquest they would probably intervene to stop them, if they didn't maybe Americans or Russians would try on their own.

Listen to this if you ever play with turkey:
