how is the old thread not at bump limit yet? (at the time of writing this post)

WOAH

Am I seeing double???

This is like one of those twilight zone episodes!! xDDD

Antonescu

They're wearing completely different uniforms you fucking moron.

ok

so since hoi4 came out but i'm poor as shit i'm playing hoi3 for the first time
I don't know how I did it but when france fell to the germans I got almost all of it
did I fuck the axis over by not leaving it to be defended by the germans since i'm incompetant as fuck
and what should my next move as italy be?

Latin America is the true successor to Europe for having encapsulated the conquering European spirit

Those whites left behind in the mainland were the farmers and so on too weak to brave the seas and impregnate a beautiful Aztec mistress

wew lad

>beautiful
Picture unrelated then?

You're obviously not a true European like those brave Spaniards

Does anyone have a download to Big Square Frames for Vicky 2?

It's in AFPG pastebin

Thanks. I remember it being in the RDS .rar

They're african, lad.

why is there water and shit between them then?

Africa starts at the Rhine___

Well, Italy is full of them as well. The Mediterranean Sea wasn't enough to stop them

What did Johan mean by this????

No, fuck you, multiplayer crack for Hearts of Iron IV. WHEN!?!?!

I can't seem to find the EFE mashup mod on Steam.

Is it under a new name now or?

How hard is it to make a custom national focus mod?
Are they just XMLs or what?

Playing as the Soviets; if I ignore the Stalin purge and let Trotsky get frisky, can I get a Trotsky led USSR? Or does it just auto-side me with Stalin?

If you're registered the game on the forums, yeah Trotsky can take over.

What triggers the Greek/Turkish population exchange in HPM, is it being railroaded into when it really happened, like 1920s I think, or some other factors? Thinking about doing a megali idea game so I'm curious how it will work .

Pretty easy

India stronk

I don't fucking get it
Why are you playing in India of all places?

How much of Jutland/Jylland is German clay?

wot mod?

Contemporary is perfect.

???

First anniversary of the "Fuck France" Alliance.

bump

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=631545981

Holstein is my vassal, so just Schleswig-Holstein?

Also curious about Arlon. I'll vassalize Switzerland and the rest of the "German Confederation", and use Krakow and Nitra as Polish and Slovak vassals, and use either Croatia or Serbia for the Balkans.

Scandinavians are Germanic. So, in the spirit of true pan germanism, all of it.

Is the EFE mod dead? Is there a replacement?

>leddit

My first battle with the allied fleet patroling the atlantic. Not to bad, even though my entire fleet had to retire to repair in spanish ports.

I've since assigned 1000+ CAS planes to the region. I hadn't realized how effective they are against just about anything seaborne.

The end goal is of course to achieve at least partial naval superiority so I can send troops over to England.

Actually, the reverse is true if we're talking Aryanism. Germanics (or "Teutons") are Nordic, rather than the other way around. The Nordic race is the progenitor of all other superior races, including germanics, normans, romans and the ruling castes in India, Persia and Greece in the antique...

That is, you buy into National socialist mysticism.

>National socialist mysticism.
Go away Himmler, no one believes your theories anyway

Himmler was based

t. Himmler

Because it's fun to stomp all the Indian countries as an obscure branch of Christianity and fulfill the dreams of Saint Thomas.

How?

So is there any way to get rid of the DLC verification requirement for the CPR Plus mod for CK2?

Bullshit French generals and their bullshit national ideas combined with Austria doing something stupid like attacking into mountains over a river, probably.

So Ribe, Aarhus, Viborg, and Aalborg: Y/N?

Jesus christ, Austria is even a joke in games.

THE VULTURES COME RUSHING IN

DIE FRANCE DIE

For authenticity, no.
That border you have right there is as far north as any German Reich has ever considered to belong to the German volk.

>trusting alp niggers with your battles
Austrians are on the same level as a united Italy, 2bh

Shut it, Bismarck

Sad Otto was based

Everything. Everything is German clay.

Arlon, Liège, Hainaut and Namur should belong to a Wallonian vassal.

Ribe, Aarhus, Viborg, and Aalborg: Nope. Only Germanic cultures provinces m8.

Noice.

Playing Spain in Victoria 2. Whats the difference between regular Spain and Carlist Spain, both in-game and historically?

Also reminder that the Spanish were actually the first "empire on which the sun never sets"

Noted. I'll consider Flanders too if the Dutch don't want them.

Still deciding about a Balkan vassal/march to along with Slovakia, Switzerland, Poland, and now "Belgium". Here's most of the region.

Did you use a custom start? I did something similar back before the tribal update fucked up viking raiders. I had invaded Lanka and southern India as norse vikings and immediately converted to Nestorian via concubine from Socotra. I eventually lost when I tried to go Messalian.
I've never been able to reproduce anything similar in ironman despite my efforts, just curious how you did it.

>Spanish king has a brother
>He doesn't have sons until one day he has a daughter
>He pushes her daughter as a queen of Spain instead of his brother carlos, by changing a law
>People freak out

Carlist Spain will go Absolute Monarchy

r8 my patented "England-o-Vision"

I'm playing while using the CK2 Plus mod, with a mini-mod of my own design that puts a few of Nestorianism's holy sites in Southern India (corresponding with the location of St. Thomas's arrival in India as well as the site of his tomb). I then used a default start as the ruler of Mahoydapuram, the trade node county in the Indian southeast.

From there, I played normally as a Hindu character, hopping between vassalhood of various rulers before getting stronk enough to form the Kingdom of Tamilikam. Then, as a Hindu raider, I took a daughter of the ruler of Socotra as a concubine and had her do some education to give myself a Christian heir and a couple of male courtiers I could turn into vassals before he took the throne.

From there, I just rolled north, holy warring the subcontinent while keeping a careful eye on when they'd be vulnerable (declaring primarily during large claim wars among the Hindu rulers, or declaring on the occasional Jain ruler who wouldn't get much auto-help). I then formed the Deccan Empire title and tech-rushed Legalism to unlock Kingdom Viceroys.

>he fell for the triple monitor meme

this, and carlists became a traditionalist/reactionary movement in their own right. they started about 3 civil wars and did side with the nationalists during the spanish civil war though franco didnt really give a fuck about them as far as i know

I thought it was changed way back so you couldn't have children flip culture/religion unless educated by someone landed. I'll try that though.

Good book.
Recommend other good books, /gsg/ style.

>F R A N C E

I'm playing on 2.4.5, since I hate Conclave.

But I think you might be right. Now that I think about it, I actually broke off the concubine arrangement with the woman I stole, then married her matrilineally to some asshole who I landed, then had their son do the education.

It was mandatory reading when I was in school, so I've been there already.

>their 5k guys beat my 50k
Did they have the Maxim?

What's the comfiest Vicky 2 nation that isn't a Euro power, USA/Japan, or Vietnam?

Australia.

Comfy rural industry and Asian adventures.

Ah, that is a creative work around. I'll try that. A shame I can't just use the concubine decision like pagans.

prussia

Thailand? Australia? Sikh Empire? (Playing as Sikh is hard as hell due to lack of wood or iron).
