threadly reminder that there's literally nothing wrong with international communism

Marimba

Absolutely based

Is it just me or does HIP fuck the flags up for nations in CK2?

pretty sure that's county flag on the left

Based Erdogan

Forgot to mention that the in-game one is different every time by the way.

Based Marimbaposter

post it once, post it twice
fuck post it 3 times if you want

i still ain't doing it

it has something to do with pirated copies IIRC

Without HIP on the flags look normal desu

>not reporting R&I's posts

shame on you

First game with Reaper's Due, how much is this going to fuck me?

I put the Black Death on historical why the fuck is it this early

>le ebin r/FULLPARADOXPLAZA maymay xDxD

Are you okay lad?

Imagine being this much of a spastic lol

A lot.

>johan andersson is fucking /balt+ausnz/ anime girl mascots RIGHT NOW while you're browsing /gsg/

Based Yohanny "the Man"dersson

So now that the dust has settled, what's the verdict on Hearts of Iron IV. Worth buying?

In which game?

Yes pls buy

>in one of those autistic duel events during battle in ck2
>accidentally press the wrong option
>surrender
>the runt kills me
>play as his brother
>tfw I capture the sons and brothers of the runt that killed me and burn them at the stake
>tfw the last battle I captured the guy that killed me and threw him in a pit full of snakes
>completely wiped out his house
>after my character got the title "the fearless"

surprisingly amusing tbqh

>tfw AI in World In Flames releases puppets and tries to have asthetic borders
God Tier mod

Not at all, not even worth pirating.

reminder that dh is one of the worst paradox games ever produced, largely because it was directly made by reddit modders

It's a solid game with a few minor flaws that can be easily overlooked.

Don't even pirate it.

pls

So just like all other mods for DH.

That's as retarded as redditors not playing NWO because simsulla is a based neo-nazi.

Is there a mod where you can rape captured females in crusader kings 2?

game of trhones mod

>tfw friends all bought stellaris on release and put in 8 hours before deciding it was garbage

Is ck2+ in the archive updated to reaper's due already or nah?

Torturemod. It's on the archive.

There is AGOT as well.

>tfw bought both Stellaris and HoI4 at release
I don't actually mind HoI4

I still can't comprehend how the best paradox game currently is the one that got dumped on a fresh team, rather than the ones run as flagships. I get that paradox releases undercooked games as a matter of course, but ffs this is just silly.

Which game?

...

The one that had its performance fixed after all the years of fucking it up by adding more map. Ck2

>CK2
>best Paradox game

The best Paradox games are the ones that were not made by Paradox at all.

So when is the first HoI expansion gonna come out? This christmas-ish?

Is HIP with SWMH actually playable now with the perfomance fix and shit?

It runs as good as vanilla for me, which is something that impressed me a lot.

I will be first in line to say that modding PDX games is the way to go, but credit where it's due, if it wasn't for pdx there wouldn't be anything to mode. Besides, performance patch fixed it for mods to.

This ->

Even with all the flavour and details HPM added, Europe still looks like shit. This would be easy to fix too.

Make demand concession to Egypt unavailable to countries without capitals in Asia.

Increase infamy cost of demanding states in Western Europe to show how upsetting the balance of power was not tolerated.

Actually write some events about the Congress of Berlin for the Ottoman empire. It should not always trigger and should have way more than two outcomes.

Have an event handling regular enclaves that appear, like the one shown (Austria-Romania). "Congress" event and pressure to release it to the surrounding nation, perhaps through crisis temperature system and militancy of non-accepted.

>yohanny
only ALPHA could be this unfunny

Tell that to HPM if he ever comes around again.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG_BENIS_IN_MY_ANUS

Nice post, my man. Really glad you also shared it with your buddies on reddit.

>Increase infamy cost of demanding states in Western Europe

You're probably right, but all the same, blegh.

>Increase infamy cost of demanding states in Western Europe to show how upsetting the balance of power was not tolerated.
Wow
Are you trying to nerf Germaniums?
Reporting you to the HPMIDF tbqh

Fuck off meneth, BIG_BENIS_IN_MY_ANUS and all of his incarnations are based.

Will do. I think he usually Ctrl-F "HPM" these threads anyway to read any older posts he missed. If he doesn't find it, I'll repost it.

Agreed, but it's historically accurate. Perhaps instead an event should be triggered once the CB is enforced, increasing crisis temperature and militancy to make it go straight to a crisis to let other powers intervene.

You didn't get it. HPM is dead.

>shitting on Based ALPHA

Since when? I've been away for about a week and decided to post as most of the memers and raiders have stopped shitposting.

Me neither but I play a heavily modded version, my biggest complaints about vanilla HoI4 are the reasearch tree is shit, and minor nations have garbage focus trees.

/b/ = russia?

Like a month or so.

How about you fix your game Johan :^)

>>USA has a civil war
>civil war didn't immediately get put down
Civil wars in HoI IV are shit because even if you send over 100000 arms, about 3 rebel units pop up and get wiped off the map a few days later.

>tfw only 3 (You)s

>used to be great
>now a backwards shithole
Fits just right for the victorian era desu

epic

How about you stop being such a massive cucking shitter?

How about you lurk more before trying so hard to fit in ;^)

>R&I this upset his post got deleted

Good first ;)

wow why has nobody called out this FUCKING REDDIT COMMUNIST SCUM!!!!! he should dieeee

Meanwhile even with whining about overpriced DLC WTW sold over a million copies in the first month and the overpriced DLCs are always in the top ten as soon as they're available for pre-purchase

Paradox is kill, and therefore so is /gsg/

You look dummer than a bag of bricks, mate.

treeddit

Don't call me mate, cuck.

t. red reddit XD >does he even try lol

>Likes Anime (an Industry that revolves around profit)
>Is communist

hey wait how do I do that thing with the > that the text turns greens?

>go over to /4xg/
>"lol johan sucks this game sucks I'm going to pirate the DLC"

There's like a 100% chance most of you chucklefucks bought stellaris given the way they talk over there in /4xg/, I would bet half of you have a second tab open to shitpost in /4xg/ at all times

Are we being raided?

Fuck off back to your general

Fuck off back to your general

Yes, but anti-German commie cucks from r/FULLPARADOXPLAZA

Only literal retards have bought Stellaris. Everyone with at least 2 years of experience with Paradox recent fuckups knew that the game would suck balls.

Fuuuuuuu!!! ... I cucking despise communist cucking SJW KEKS

>Everyone with at least 2 years of experience with Paradox recent fuckups knew that the game would suck balls.
