I only thought of using mods for this just now. Any recommendations?

Use the anime portrait mod, all characters look white that way.

Even Orientals? That rather defeats the purpose.

hi johan

jesus christ i built IC in africa since ww1 without thinking about it, wanted my puppets to not be 3 IC dead weights. these negros got nukes, so does rhodesia

That's a very pretty skin colour, I bet it looks even nicer IRL.

t. slutty white girl

You should lay off porn for a while.

I'm honest though, I don't see how the color looks nice. I guess it's fairly clean looking unlike some of the other pictures you see (esp. the tall guy in the back) but I'm not seeing how it looks nice.

> I don't see it, so it's not there

>my taste is better than yours haha
...ok?

So whats the best way to do the Belgium/South Africa takeover combo as NET in the latest HPM?

Daily reminder only prissy liberals drink coffee with both hands.

Isn't that more to warm you up than anything else
I mean why would you hold something that small with two hands otherwise?

I'd say it's only acceptable when it's cold

Daily reminder that Grand Strategy is the whitest, malest genre of games and that never before has a nigger, sandnigger, or girl pondered "should I use this money to build dreadnoughts to counter the UK or build railways to increase Spain's industrial power?"

when does Vicky2 Multi from yesterday continue?

Wasn't here yesterday, did Hitlermemeguy actually make any progress? When's the release of the mod?

They probably don't have enough resources to maintain that industry.

Hello /gsg/, just wanted to let you and Hitlermod know that I'll be here for the next 4 hours.

If there's anything flag related I can do for you just ask.

I'll also take this time to announce that V9 of the pack will probably be focused on the middle east, that is, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, the Arabian Peninsula, etc. If you think another area of the world or some specific countries are more deserving of a spot in the next pack, do tell.
Flag unrelated.

Babylon pls

Man, I forgot that existed. But since it's such an obscure tag that almost never appears and doesn't even exist if you use HPM and derivates I think I won't include it in the pack, though I could try making flags for it and post them if you really want to.

I don't "really" want it, but it would be nice if you did something for them in your free time or something. Everyone forgets about them but Iraq > Babylon is actually pretty fun

Bieeen! Ya te extrañaba un poquito

Nice flag, I'm going to use that fo Mittleafrika when i add it. Did you get any ideas for the SS shit? If not I'll just use the normal German flags for now, or maybe the one you made earlier. I will also be here for the next 3 hours or so.

Ok, so right now I'm having some problems with the Chinese revolt/Civil War thing (specifically, I don't know how to set the state they want to take), so for now, I'll just add some events that will fire when the war ends, I guess.

He got given a Stetson as a gift from president Dubya and liked it so much that he's made a point of wearing one in all his public appearances.

Yeah, sorry about yesterday. I got sick so I couldn't even come on the computer.

Te mande un email desde mail.com recien, fijate si no te llego en spam.

As for the SS thing, realistically they wouldn't even change flags, to be honest. They'd want to keep the appareance of legitimacy of still being the same Reich, if only under new administration. If they were to change flags, they would try to keep as much of the old flag as usual, to keep appearances. That's what I was going for with my flag.

If you remain unconvinced, I'll do something else. It's your mod after all. But you'll have to tell me exactly what sort of SS administration you think would be going on, maybe we have different ideas about it.

How do I Rheinbund?

gutter crown

Bueno, no importa, total no hay apuro, falta un rato para que saque esta mierda. Ya estas mejor querido?

I think that you could try doing something similar to what UnHPM did, probably with different colours. If it doesnt look very good I'll just use the normal German flag for now, or I'll use the other one you made.

Or maybe you could do something like a war flag, kinda like the CSA's most recognized flag wasn't really the official one.

Is it even possible to play gsg as a shit country and win?

>what UnHPM did
I made that flag actually. I'll see if I can get it too look more SS-y or something.

Pude dormir ayer, asi que es una mejora, chiquito

Declare on belgium first day. Occupy and wait for score to tick up (over 30 at least) and goals on brits and peace out. Immediately after that declare on belgium again and annex them. Restart if for some reason france joins them

He's got Sheriff Clarke syndrome

Does anyone know if you can make a country start as disarmed or paying Great War reparations (or both)? I haven't seen any mod with that, so I can't really check, but I'd imagine it should have to be in the history files.

Thanks friendo, gonna try that.

As I said yesterday, llevaos vuestro mariconeo a otro sitio.

>llevaos
>vuestro
>sitio
Ya nos lo llevamos al chat de Steam, estamos cogiendo por telefono ahora.

I remember looking through history files to find shit related to Revolutionary War, if things related to even that exist I assume yes

Here's another one, as suggested, using the command flag of the SS.

I can try something similar using the other eagle design, or whatever you think about it.

Well what I like to do is as follows:

1. Send my entire navy to the Dutch east Indies since its useless against the british in Europe
2. Build transports and all available land units in the indies and send some back to Europe so that I'm left with a 21,000 strong strike force in the Indies and sufficient transports. Your going to have to play with the trade sliders to get enough resources for the units and ships (set it to stockpile like 200 clothes canned food and ships) since HPM makes it harder to get some goods early on.
3.once I'm ready begin justifying a Place in the Sun cassus belli against UK
4. Then (ususally around early 1838 but it varies) launch the attack without calling in any GP allies (calling them makes it more difficult to get everything you want since they become war leader and usually add a humiliate CB or something stupid like that or don't press all your wargoals). ITs best to launch it before the British start expanding by event into Northern South Africa so you dont have to compete with them later.
5.Use my navy and colonial force to occupy the colonies while my main army deals with BElgium and Hannover and fends of British landings.
6. Let ticking warscore do the rest

When it goes well I can get Belgium, both Capetown and Eastern Cape, Ceylon, and part of east Friesland from Hannover (rightful dutch clay) all by 1840-2 ish. However in the recent version of HPM its a bit harder it seems. First Prussia often Allies with GB so you have to find a way to avoid that or keep them from joining in (one way is by declaring war on Belgium, since the AI almost never calls in allies after the beginning of a war). However now France tends to try to intervene as soon as you add a cb on belgium. There are ways to avoid all of that happening but you have to play around and also get reasonably lucky.

Yeah, it looks pretty decent, maybe you could try adding one of these eagles, or using a different colour at the bottom and at the top, and using one fo these eagles, or using that one in black.

Or maybe just redesign these flags you made, but in red, instead of black like you did, maybe replace the swastika with the SS symbol

>or using that one in black.
Well, I can't make it all black for obvious reasons. I did think this up, but it doesn't look quite right either.

So basically the first SS flag I made but in red? Could be, but I really think an SS flag should always be black and white. It's their traditional palette, putting colour in it seems wrong.

I don't want to continue that save we played last night.

>austria hungary with no bohemia, released bukovina and galicia, missing part of serbia

looks fucking disgusting

Maybe you could use a white background and make the SS symbol black?

You mean like this? I still think the black one looks better and fits better with SS aesthetic.

That sounds complicated, Imma gonna try first

Yes, maybe you could swap the Swastika and the SS thing? also i just noticed the Mittleafrika flag doesn't have the same cross as the RKMs and that one, maybe you could try fixing that while you come up with something, but I think I'll just use one of the desings you made, I really think there aren't many other designs that could work.

>maybe you could swap the Swastika and the SS thing?
That would give the SS symbol a way too central place in the flag, which wouldn't make sense symbolically. The swastika should always be in the foreground.
>also i just noticed the Mittleafrika flag doesn't have the same cross as the RKMs and that one, maybe you could try fixing that
Sure.

>mfw Roosevelt fucked USA in the ass for 7 more years
newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409

that's why I pick Landon

Ok, I got some ideas, i got this desing, an a similar one. I looked at this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel, and I think you could use some of these symbols, and the SS in the middle makes sense, you could try dropping the Nordic Cross, and using something a bit more like what I made, or something where you could fit those symbols.

Why doesn't yung yohan realize these two are divorced?

I posted that and I don't even know who they are

This one replaces "leadership in battle" for "faith in nazism" Oh and maybe you could do the letters in gold? or white? and make the strips in black

Or something like this. Note how "Faith in Nazism" is aligned with "Zeal" and "Family" is aligned with "Self sacrifice"

Ok, I see what you are going with here, and it makes sense, but there's one problem with that. What your flag would indicate is not merely the Reich under a new administration by the SS, but a whole new State. The flag you propose would make sense if, after the SS took power, down the line you got an event to deepen and perpetuate the SS administration through a modification of the State. In such a context you could even implement Neo-paganism.
I don't know if you can implement that in the mod though, maybe you'd even have to create a new government form and I don't know if that has an impact on performance.

Also this is a sketch the Mittel Afrika flag. I need to polish it, but it's basically what it will look like, if you like it.

Noted, I'll keep those in mind. I'll research a bit of SS esoterism so I get a better feel of the whole subject.

r u a real nazi or just a wehraboo

He's a butthurt Argie fantasing about living in a world where Germany won WW2 so that Argentina gets the Falklands.

all of these are true

How do you get rid of the shitty Chinese state conquering restrictions in HPM?

You know for an autist at least he is quite blunt about being one.

how did hitler win ww2 in your mod because it was nearly impossible in real life

conquerall

Research right techs

I'm wondering how the Japanese conquered Australia in his mod since not even the Japanese thought they could do it.

Ubermensch obviously.

How can a country NOT be able to conquer Australia, especially during that era?

Which option gives you better borders in EU4: low or high aggresivnes?

Australia is fucking big. Also the naval logistics required would be pretty intense, especially with the royal navy + Americans sailing around.

In screenshots I saw a Fascist Britain, so I assume Mosley became UK's ruler in this world and joined Axis

Australia had pretty modern equipment and the like and a genuinely massive surface area to control that was sparsely populated and mostly arid/desert. Australia would be a shitty war and a shitty occupation.

At least only the Japs have to deal with hardcore shitposts in that mod.
