that your map is shit for not including rightful borders of ancient, european brazillians, shitlord.

>tfw you emerge from 15 years of civil war and rebellion as the #2 great power

It's probably not the expansion he is looking forward to, it's most likely the update accompying it, which will hopefully mix the mess called 'Crusader Kings 2'.

Post Vicky2 related music for maximum immersion.

Victoria 2

Victoria Ultimate

>which will hopefully mix
It's going to mix it up again for sure, as well as make it far, far worse than it was before.

How about renaming anarcho-liberals to anarcho-capitalists?

Threadly reminder that this is your average paradox consumer

How to win in Victoria 2:

1 - Start game
2 - Declare war on Qing
3 - Get Hong Kong
4 - ???

Divergences of Darkness

Anarcho-capitalists don't approve of slavery, though. And didn't exist in the game's time period.

Spaniard go home! Spread shit culture somewhere else!

>Anarcho-capitalists don't approve of slavery

Molinari wrote about Ancapism in 1850s.

Best way to industrialize as Russia? Should I let my capitalists build all the factories there's too many provinces to manually do everything, maybe I would if the factory screen showed province population and RGOs

Reposting from prev:

HPM guy, I was wondering that since the current two Transylvania regions makes little historical sense anyway, whether you could divide it up to north and south to simulate the Second Vienna Award, or any other hypothetical division of the region by the Romanians and Hungarians.

Sure it's out of the timeline, but I'd like some method of stability within my balkans without necessarily having to screw over wholesale the Hungarians or the Romanians.

Post your CK2 Waifus
I need to fill my folders again after my old PC broke down

If you let capitalists do their thing, you should be find eventually as long as you rush education efficiency.
In this game, I only build 4 or 5 factories myself, all of them tank factories because there was only 1 tank factory in the world and I wanted armored corps. My capitalists built their first successful factory sometime in the 1880's, and major industrialization only took off around turn of the century.

No.

I'm also making Afro Americans the main pop of the USA because they're oppressed.

If you are going to pretend you are him at least copy the !! that trips have
Not that anyone is dumb enough to not notice that trips are not in bold

That makes no sense at all.

Someone explain the liquor meme? I've only played CK2 and a very tiny bit of EU4.

t. Alex Grandi pretending to be newfag

It's a steamgroup shitposter meme. Report and ignore it.

>indentured servitude never existed
lad...

How is it possible to get a level 53 liquor factory?
Liquor factories take two years to build and there are only 100 years in which to build them.

So what are the gold provinces that can be colonized?

what did they mean by this

Malaysia

Spain wants to be the Emperor again

>permanently selling yourself into slavery is the same thing as indentured servitude
wew lad. quit while you're less behind than you'll be if you keep saying stupid things

They meant that currently Bohemia-Moravia is in the sphere of influence of Spain which gives Spain certain privileges regarding Bohemia-Moravia in diplomacy and trade. However, a handful of other nations have expended or are expending influence mana in order to gain influence in Bohemia-Moravia, possibly to eventually bring it into their own sphere.

>not reducing factory build times to 1 year

SUP GUYS WHAT IS THE BEST PARADOX GAME

oh ok thanks

Yeah, I kind of assumed it was from cheating, thanks.

HOW TO PLAY AS THE DUAL MONARCHY IN DoD:

>Win

>Beat France

gee

Do they want to free a part of Morocoo or legit blob on you?
Because on previous versions the US would declare war on me every single time I got a sea access as the Toucoleour with the sole purpose to blob too, it's annoying as fuck.

>cheating

UFO: Extraterrestrials

God bless America

Unironically go back to your last autosave and debug yesmen out of this war, this is literally retarded. I'd get if it was Italy, Spain, the Ottomans, Portugal or any European nation with sea access really, even fucking Greece would make sense. This is Japanese Ghana tier.

Bravo Paradox, Bravo!!

Read the tooltips

No it doesn't

>don't conquer pomerenia all at once, that'd be a stupid decision!

Any good mods for Hoi4 yet?
