Mad as fuck.

Steamgroup is pretty butthurt today.

Fixing the ai

polan is not the best at the moment

End of August

Nice job Ottomans

>52% craftsmen
Lad what are you doing

What the fuck
Never saw them get so utterly destroyed

Sorry for the noob question, but how do I make the EvW window fullscreen?
I've downloaded the "EvW with complete mod" file, btw, is it good or are there better versions?
Also, any recommended country for first time?

Wew

EvW is not even fully functional
Did you try the settins file in the my documents/evw folder?

false flag away lad
t. not part of steam group

>not liking industrial score

Sure thing buddy

mo money fo dem programs

Sorry lad, proper threads start with "Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.". If it doesn't start with that, I ain't posting in it.

Just give them what they want, stop being such a shitty ruler.

That's what you get for letting the Irish in.

You still need people working your RGOs, plus all the other pops

>letting your people be farmers
No nigga leave that shit to africa/colonies/the third world.

Rate my GroBmorrocums, /gsg/

I admit that I cheated a little early on to put down reactionary rebels, but everything else was legit. For whatever reason, France never DoW'd me, so I was able to westernize before they could fuck me up. Beating them out of Algeria was easy after that, Britain was my ally and I attacked France right after they had gotten totally fucked down to 0 military score in a Great War with Germany+Italy.

How did I do, /gsg/?

Managed to westernize just in time to colonize a bit of Africa and release them under my dominion.

tfw no iron to upgrade my liquor facilities

>blobbing in egypt

Eh
Could have somalia

Don't waste your focuses on clerks. Your literacy is still too low

>prestige whoring

Maghrebi when

Meh, Netherlands had Alexandria as a colony, and they were allied with Spain. When I went to war with Spain for my cores, I figured I may as well grab that colony as well, seeing as how it bordered my main territory anyway. I'll try to grab the rest of Egypt at some point to lessen the bordergore though, perhaps release it as a puppet state

I have all the territory I need, just need to get to GP now.

Press F to pay respects

>35% literacy

>6% literacy

fuck off I'm already posting my Morocco game nerd

rip

Calm down nigger, there's space for both.

Somaliland Sultans were also puppeted by me, because there are no accepted pops there.

I'm only focusing Clerks because I have 4.00% clergy in every province, 0.10% capitalists, 4-5%ish soldier pops, and my factories aren't getting iron to upgrade so craftsmen are without work and refuse to be influenced.

kek lad

Well you already own some somalis in Ethiopia so that's not a problem.

Focus on craftsmen first.

In my games I see mexico doing either extremely poor or extremely well.

Please don't blob in Egypt.

Where's the new ck2 dd's

forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/ck2-dev-diary-15-assorted-cool-things.956075/
They are missing one though

The warhammer mod for ck2 is pretty awesome and makes ck2 worth playing again

Makes me want to boot up ck1 though, the council shit reminds me of how retarded hard it was in ck1 to manage internal dissent

>Players with Horse Lords may have been annoyed at the number of clicks needed to pillage a holding, so instead of needing to continually decide to pillage, the decision is now a toggle rather than an action. Once you decide to pillage, buildings will be destroyed periodically until either the player decides to stop or the holding is destroyed. You can simultaneously pillage multiple holders per province too. The revolt risk has also been capped at 30% while the revolt size has been made more sensible (larger!).
Nice

What's so good about it

>Speaking of Nomads, when a non-nomadic realm conquers an empty province from a horde, the province now gains some revolt risk from Nomad Agitation. This effect remains until the nomads are pacified, either by constructing a Castle or City, or if Tribal by constructing at least 2 buildings. If a province has not been pacified upon succession it will break away and spawn a new Nomadic ruler.

Annoying

>Owners of may attempt to recruit prisoners who do not like their liege.
>Owners of may ask their vassals individually to end their wars with each other, or force them to do so with a favor. When favors are not used, the vassal may accept or refuse or may accept in exchange for cash or gaining a favor from you. If the aggressor is asked to and agrees to end their war they are also barred from declaring new wars on your other vassals for a time.
Nice

>Owners of may ask characters who are unlanded and unemployed to leave their court.
>Owners of may ask their vassals to return to gavelkind succession, or force them to via a favor.
Why would someone do that

It actually has a modicum of difficulty and the game has all sorts of actually interesting changes, just play it youll understand i thought itd be just another total conversion too but now i keep playing ck2 instead of football manager..

Inb4 t. Geherminschizen dev

...

But ck2 is difficult, it just depends on who your start

>'the Frog' of Africa

Warhammer and Elder Kings are the only reasons I still play CK2 tbqh

>Germany dismantle Russia

When will HPM reworks dismantlement?

I think the new nicknames are pretty good
Imagine being Sultan Alp Arslan "the Bane of Byzantium"

Try being an insane vampire trying to find a crystal in the middle of a fucking jungle in order to contact the big asian lords and get their sweet neetbux and automatons

Oh and meanwhile everyone fucking hates you because youre an oriental lizard vampire just trying to find your way home

Then i made other vampires so muh council atleast has some family on it, but most of them hate me too still

FUCK

This, either they get super close to the top 10 industries and get an actual top 10 military or they get completely fucked over for the entirety of the game.

> may ask characters who are unlanded and unemployed to leave their court.

To clear up your court of useless characters that are just bloat.

>Owners of may ask their vassals to return to gavelkind succession, or force them to via a favor.

To split up the realms of powerful vassals when they die.

How would you even work who gets in who spheres

>implying that powerful vassals are bad

Rate

This

>tfw your industry finally starts exploding

Some people don't like powerful vassals because they can represent a very dangerous threat for a king that has just taken over.

Nice
>inb4 someone is going to cry they don't get colonial migration

>leaving the natives

>socialist faction
fuck off obongo

Teutons plz halp

HPMguy, Kazakhstan can fire the decision to move their capital forever because they have 2 province in the potential part of the decision plz fix

Lel

The decision for them is the same as others. I used to have that problem because Kazakhstan 's starting capital wasn't the same it was being moved on, so if they were released with their "history-files" capital and tried to move it it wouldn't work and they would spam it forever.

But I changed their capital and it got back to normal, I remember testing this. Are you sure you are playing the latest version?

Why isn't Darkest Hour in the OP anymore and why is EU:Rome shown twice?

>Huge stack in New Orleans

You can't make this up.

>Hearts of Iron 4 is the single most challenging game I've played in the last decade.
fucking normies

There's an issue with the Homestead Act decision. If you get the event about the end of the Homestead Act, you can just retake the decision and get the modifier again

I've deployed FEMA there now

HPM, did you get the Toucoleur theocracy flag I gave you?

>polygon

youtube.com/watch?v=d3pQ0oO_cDE

I will make sure it doesn't show again.

Yes I did, thank you very much!

Yeah I think it's the latest, but I replaced the political.txt when you fixed the albanian population exchange stuff so mb it wasnt fixed in this one

>SJWgon

No, that's fixed in that too.

Can you show me those lines in your political.txt? Can you tell me what province is Kazakhstan's capital in history/countries?

you can tell he uses a controller like a console peasant

I deleted it but there was 2 lines in potential, one for 1181 and one for 1182. Capital in history file is 1181.

sorry I wasn't here yesterday, but how am I doing?

Fuck, you are right. That is the problem. Thanks for reporting this!

boards.fireden.net/vg/search/image/AEDTW_tVMw3kcSjXsOjNWg/

Could anyone post the NWO mod link pls

yeah well fuck you too faggot

Actually lots of small vassals is worse.

Every vassal gets +50% levies in their capital. If you have 50 vassals in 50 provinces then you have a lot smaller share of the power than if you had 10 vassals with 5 provinces each.

It's also a lot harder to bribe lots of smaller vassals and you can make a large vassal unable to join factions just by being in the council or by marrying a child to them.
