How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, August 4th:
1578 – Battle of Al Kasr al Kebir: The Moroccans defeat the Portuguese. King Sebastian of Portugal is killed in the battle, leaving his elderly uncle, Cardinal Henry, as his heir. This initiates a succession crisis in Portugal.
1914 – In response to the German invasion of Belgium, Belgium and the United Kingdom declare war on Germany. The United States declares its neutrality.
1944 – The Holocaust: A tip from a Dutch informer leads the Gestapo to a sealed-off area in an Amsterdam warehouse, where they find and arrest Jewish diarist Anne Frank, her family, and six million others.

Ah yes the German MG nests could definitely see British drab uniforms just as well as bright blue frog uniforms

Reposting a last time

Hey guys, I need just ONE MORE flag to finish the pack (I still need to do a few other things though so this doesn't mean I'll release it today).

It's New American Alliance's monarchy flag, aka Kingdom of Illinois; I want to change the old one because it's awful. I wanted to use the Y in a circle, a classic symbol of Chicago as the main component. I came up with this, which I think is pretty, though not royal enough maybe.

Any suggestions to royal it up? If you have a better suggestion for a flag, please tell.

Granted Im playing a mod but the mod doesnt do anything but enhance Ideas, so the only thing right now is giving me 2 colonists instead of 1, which wouldnt have mattered because I would just use cash to overcome that. That idea is the reason that Im not tied for first in tech.

This desu senpai

I'd unironically give EU4 another chance if there was a currently in development mod by a regular from /gsg/ to get history right.
I used to love playing as non-western kingdoms before surviving, let alone thriving, became the most trivial thing possible.

Anyway, I think the AI requirements for the event are done. The requirement for "Mission to civilize" will stop it being taken day one and the AI won't bombard anyone with it, they have strict requirements for when they will find logical to take the decision. They also won't take the decision if they have more than 4 militancy.
Next is making the moralists of your country religion pissed off at the suggestion and then effects of missionaries being killed.

IMO it looks a bit strange. Like a car symbol, because of the Y in a circle thing. Though I can't think of better alternatives, especially for american symbols.
Just my two cents.

but I am not white

Fuck off fag

kys you anime fucking piss of shit bet ur a shillary to lmao
see

I obviously fucked the scale of the pluralism/secularized stuff too.
I think I will use secularized: 20% too instead of 30%.

pls steamgroup
pls stop

So your American?

Yeah, the symbol itself looks a bit unorthodox and modern, but since it's such a traditional symbol of Chicago, it's the only thing I found that would make sense for an Illinois Kingdom since Chicago is its largest city and all. The actual State Capital, Springfield, has a red star for a symbol so it isn't any better.

I think I'll use it anyway since, at least, it's a step up from the old one, and all in all that's what counts. Thanks for the insight though.

Hes Lebanese Christian so it is fine.

He's Turkish

do high taxes slow down promotion?

Both of these are correct

Some people last thread were mentioning that you should stop high Intellectual percentages from lowering consciousness. It made sense for clergymen, but not for intellectuals

Good logic you literal nigger

STOP SHITTING ON AMERICA REEEEE

>using the term "meme" unironically

you have to go back

They kinda do since people get less of their needs and less needs means slower promotion.

I can't do it. I remember a long time ago I did it and the game stopped recognizing them as intellectuals/clergy. They stopped counting for literacy gain.
Never understood very well this decision as christian clergy in a muslim country would do the exact opposite of reducing consciousness, same thing if it was muslim clergy in a christian country.

Hey HPM, got a bunch of fixes, changes and new flavour - mostly for centered around Persia. As usual, pick and choose. Feedback is welcome. I haven't play-tested it yet.

fuck you hpm you syrian refugee shit and your railroading

It doesn't look like any of the state symbols help either.

This should be all, pissing the moralists a bit. I halved those values so they aren't updated.

Thanks a lot, I will take a look!

If there was any doubt, you completely removed it now.

You have to go back.

I've played a fuckton of CK2, always in vanilla, and am trying to spice it up a bit with some mods for the first time. It's a rather daunting bunch to look through though, and all of them seem to change things so much that I worry it would break the balance/fun of the game. Can anyone recommend a mod that doesn't affect the core of the base game that much and just adds some flavor events, etc sort of stuff to make it more interesting again? As well as fixes stupid Swede shit like Charlemagne founding the HRE if possible.

Tell us what's new, lad
It sort of does, Europe, Asia, Africa, the rest of Latin America, Australia - no one else has probems with Mexicans since only America gets their poor and uneducated.

Are turks Germanic?

Can an insect be Germanic?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT NOW
