>That Austrian feel
>Be the Emperor
>No fucks given
>Diplomacy minigame
>Inherit all of Burgundy & company through an event
>Empire loves you
>Hungary dickstabs you and puts Hunyadi on throne instead
>Bid time for future union war

The HRE can be fun.

there is no guy more based

Need comfy country for liq2 any suggestions?
Nothing too militaristic, looking to practice economy and pop stuff. A tall-ish game

More like kill everyone in 5 years

>got killed by the monster he helped create
>french went full monarchy anyway with Napoleon
>based

This.
What the fuck happened.

reminder that shattered retreat hasn't changed except for the distance the defeated army travels

An Isolationist UK

What's a good map color for Indochina?

any south/central american country

does Israel get immigrants?

Is the UK not too big for that?

a reddish brown I'd think

Maybe, you could try America but that is just top speed lazy fair

blue

Release everything and stay as England

t. frog

It's actually dark renown I think, he's one of the better ones in paracucks

give me a name for my male heir /gsg/

Johan

Wilhelm II

benin

Arumba

Podcat

>tfw R&I gets cucked

...

If I release a state and choose to play as it does it get released as a puppet or free in hpm?

free

Johan should've been the heir with 6/6/6 desu

I feel like I'm missing something
I added my tag to countries.txt, gave it a file in the countries folder, and gave it a file in the history folder. Indochina still doesn't exist though

>vic2 runs at about 10 fps

JUST

So my heir's wife has claim on a kingdom. It has elective succession.

If I press her claim and win, she'll become queen. But would her sons be capable of being voted for succession, even if they are also heirs to a different kingdom?

Is it possible to defend against france chile and brazil as La Plata. They declare on me and destory my armies even when outnumbered. I've loaded my last save a million times and they still declare and win everytime, taking entre rios which is a big industrial and pop center

Try giving it a province to start off with. Also make sure you added it in the localization file under INC and INC_ADJ

wtf i hate paradox now

Where did we go so wrong?

/gsg/, I have a vassal, Baron Hans of House Asperger. Should I make him my right hand man?

>he actually enjoys civilization

>Try giving it a province to start off with
Maybe that's the issue. I've been using the India formation as a template, but India is a cultural union with cores on everything already

I have no clue how to create a cultural union

Who doesn't? It's a great series to be honest family.

what game

So Stellaris is rushed and kind of shit. How is HoI4?

idk about elective sucession

They would, but there is no guarentee that they'd get elected.

Apparently the mods list for EU4 are totally out of date in the OP, since everyone seems to play VeF instead of the pimped mods in the OP's image.

Anyone got links to the OP mods? Any other EU4 mods I should look at?

I haven't played the game in like 2-3 years.

He's not wrong; there's tons of tedius micromanagement in stellaris that exists for no more reason than to force you to click buttons.

It's not even a matter of complexity - it's just tedium.

just play meiou and taxes

The meme is that we are supposed to hate it, so I hate it.

that was a meme mod even when I played EU3

both are unironically shit, they intentionally released a incomplete game for more dlc

I love you user :3

>deleted
why?

redpill me on Sabaton

Play as the FRCA. Take back your cores and stay comfey from then on.

They're based and National Socialists

i bet that they laugh to themselves backstage about those cringy kids that made them rich. they probably don't even know about the events they sing about, they are just a merchandise.

delete your post please

We did it lads
I've got cores on Laos and the rest of Cambodia
I'm thinking I'll make a decision to incorporate Siam and Burma

>that guy who can't play without blobbing
>that so creatively empty that he needs union tags to play

Good job lad, even if it's memey

Has anyone posted any Reaper's Due immortality shenanigans? Haven't gotten to play that much, recently went to see and was surprised to see I couldn't really find to much about it.

Some guy save-scummed to get through the events.

It's nothing so particuliar, since epidemics are so fucking OP you will probably never hit 100 years without having Cancer/black death/anything that can kill you.

From what I did find searching, it makes you immune to all natural death, including by disease. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the health penalty was so high on the black death it fucked up and killed you anyway.

I almost made it playing as Johan.

As far as I know there are various chain of events that may or may not make you inmortal, and I think the chain of events you get is based on your culture/religion.

For example, me as a Norse Johan went through some events about finding an apple that make you younger or something like that. I died at the end so I don't what would've happened.

In Daniel's stream he became inmortal with the guidance of some indian child.

And a few days ago I saw someone playing in Spain who after the events, died and his soul moved to the body of his child, thus creating a baby that had all the traits of his father.

At least there seems to be some variety on it.

So did the EFE mod just go up in smoke?

What's the actual name instead of the stupid acronym?

Europeans Fucked the East

Memes make for good practice

It's just fun to make the mod lad
It might be neat to change the decision so that colonists that own everything can form it, so you get "French Indochina" instead of "French Asia"

So guys what do you do in these games if not blob? Doesn't blobbing mean you're doing well?

You watch other countries blob and intervene when your perfect borders are ruined

Typically you blob for a couple games before you realize how easy it is. Then you blob with minor nations in order to find a challenge. Then you blob aesthetically.

That's the only you can do in EU and HoI.

In CK2 you can RP and do dynasty memes and in Vic2 you can build liquor factories and watch how the population reacts to your actions.

What's the point on having to wait 6 months to change the action of a council member? You can't spam anything, it would make no difference at all to disable that.

In Poland the Age of Sail never ends.

Tbqh I just needed a few (You)s before bed. Thanks family.
>liquor factories
I haven't played Vicky yet. Explain the liquor meme?

Would be neat to have the "Organize x" decisions for more places

>I don't create my own custom gsg mods

People mock at how in Victoria 2 you're encouraged to build liquor factories because due to a series of factors, they are very profitable and the base of the Industrial Revolution.

I can't think of any other major colonies that would benefit from it other than Indochina

That's the kind of people that cries at HPM for not adding their memes instead of doing so themselves

>No Anglo-Norse culture
>No Varangian culture

Whats the point of playing a memeraider out of Scandinavia even,I dont want to end up as a Slvashit or as an eternal Anglo

There we go, colonized all of Siberia.

India

Are you the faggot that has been posting since he was Krakow?

If yes, I was worried.
If not, kys.
