Paradox fix HoI4 you fucking lazy swedes.

>hoi4
>fixable

>That leon blob.

Hoi4 is better than DH desu

Anyone has a link for CPR+?

HOI4 is like EU4, it's too fucked to be actually made good. I feel like Stellaris could be good one day though, if they keep working on it.

>Stellaris
>Ever good
>3 resources
'no'

This. The problem with 4x games like that is that they are too simplistic or focused on symmetric starts.

T-they could add more resources... couldn't they?

..I just really want a good space 4x toobh

There's DW for that.
I doubt they will add more resource's.

>he doesn't play the superior galciv series
Shitlarris is a bad game

Well I optimized the decisions I did after reading the wiki so they can have the minimum performance impact possible. I changed how apostasy works from being only an opinion modifier for being a trait which makes all muslims hate you (the old modifier meant that if you converted someone after they started hating you for apostasy, for example, they would keep on hating you).

Now it works with a decision too, but you don't need to have the apostate as your prisoner. He just needs to be in your realm, once charged any muslim can take action against him.

>posts wrong previous thread
god fucking damn it newfags, stick with fucking facebook.
you just copied and pasted the previous thread didn't you?

Going back to Islam won't clear the apostasy though. It's not inheritable, but it means you won't ever be able to go back to a muslim realm.

This stuff made me realize something, which is the problem of the top liege. Saladin, for example, is the coptic top liege of Egypt. The decision made so the coptic lords of egypt would be ok with me executing him despite they caring more about him than me. There's a problem in making a muslim lord being able to enforce muslim law in a christian realm, for example. So now these decisions are only activated if the top liege is a muslim, then you can follow islamic rules. If you are under a christian ruler, it's christian rules.

lewd ck2 mods when

this
I want a loli mod

You can always play the warhammer mod and be a devout slaaneshi cultist

The thing is, Muslims take apostasy very seriously. While you can't charge someone with apostasy in a non muslim realm (and get free imprisonment), you can still execute them. If you have a reason to execute them like the old opinion modifier gave, no one have a fuck. The decision makes them give a fuck. If you execute someone for apostasy in a non muslim realm (through the custom decision, if you do it normally everyone gets pissed at you), all the lords that shared a religion with the executed will get pissed at you as if you executed the guy without a just cause, while the muslim will like you more. You can't imprison apostates in non muslim realms, but if they fall in your hands you can still execute them for points with your fellow muslims. This contributes to a civil war scenario, where the muslims start grouping together while lords of the religions that are being attacked stick together more against the muslims. The realm becomes split.

Anyway, I just need to fix localization and make a decent icon for the apostate trait.

i just wanna have tender love events

too cpu intensive for my toasty

All right my king died, so I'm switching to my third son in Denmark now. I hope the AI don't fuck my kingdom too much... Norse gael culture is also spreading nicely in England.

>playing with localized names

Norman crusaders never stopped crusading.

just change marriage age and seduce them you puff.

My Serbia didn't turn out just the way I wanted it.

Recommend me some interesting country to play.

pretty historical tbqh Serbs migrated a lot during that time period.

How did you actually manage to play EUIV for that long?

Sub-90 IQ

Oh nice, daddy is a saint. It will be the third one of my dynasty. When Denmark finish the war they are fighting I'll swear fealty, if you can't beat them join them as they say

It is very interesting playing as Serbia. Always one mistake from being destroyed in the first 150 years.
Later on it is entertaining to try and compete with great powers.
Ironmeme is on.

you should keep your blood pure

what mod?

She was old, just needed a high stewardship wife after my first one died. And don't worry my family is specialist of inbreeding, literally all of them are marrying between dynasty members.

good.; gotta keep that bloodline pure and lands in the family

He did it on purpose you stupid fuckwit.

That's HIP and a mod I'm doing.

will you post the mod for vanilla or is it just for Toothbrush Cuck Project

>enabling VIET

literally the worst mod for ck2

No, I won't do it for vanilla, though it may work for it.

What should I first do as Russia in the HPM mod? Haven't played much of it.

Provoke france and the UK in a war against you

let communist rebels enforce their demands

yea right reddit. stick to fucking forums, imageboards are too much for you newfaggots.

Sounds like a great idea
Fuck off, Lenin

@154730723
Tell me why he'd want to link a thread with Rhodes instead of the infotopic in the OP.

Sorry OP you seem to have made a slight mistake with your post

There's no sense in complaining, you just can't fight against terminal autism.

You can. You just need to be even more of an autist which I happen to be.

Is Tropico grand strategy?

It is.

No.

>religion
but god doesn't exist

Neither does your sex life but you don't see me pointing it out

jerking off at least three times per day is a good sex life

Not really but Tropico 1 and 4 are good games.
Tropico 4 reverend is white and based.

>Not really but Tropico 1 and 4 are good games.
Are the dlc for 4 worth it? It's on sale and I'm thinking of buying it.

In a bundle sure. Modern Times is basically an expansion pack. Check out G2A or Kinguin for bundles though.
Tropico 5 is junk, avoid it. Tropico 2 is weird pirate era slavery experiment that went wrong and Tropico 3 is basically worse Tropico 4 with much worse humor. Also games are piss easy but comfy but campaign is fun due to tongue in cheek humor.

Ok cheers

I'm pretty sure this family never held any independent land in England, so how did they spread their culture?

No probs.
Dont forget to blob.

>Anglo-Saxon Sicily

applying dick to moorish women

Everything's a little bit off this game.

Turn into a military state after you got about 3k pops in your city. Piss the people off as much as possible. Watch the rebellion and soldiers shooting each other in the streets. Most fun I ever had

That's actually kind of cool, instead of going to Sicily, the Normans conquered Southern Iberia.

>Southern Iberia
You may be underestimating the Normans.

...

Is new Archive bro here?

The stupidest things happen.

court physicians are almost always non-ruler culture/religion and are predefined to have very high stats

children are usually educated by the most talented man available

It's like how republics get darkened thanks to unmarried men marrying Africans by event, then.

SICKNESS AND DEATH AWAITS US ALL

Lads I need mod opinions for EUIV.

Downloaded Vertias and MEOU but they both have annoying bits I don't like (new world for Veritas and retarded turko-byzantine stuff for MEIOU), so now I'm stuck being indecisive.

Someone pick for me.

Voltaire's Nightmare
Also MEIOU & Taxes is getting updated in a while, with changes significantly weakening the turks

dead

Go play something better.

>tfw no Intermarum

>blobbing

Goyim, I'm gonna buy EU4. What dlcs are must have, I played the piratebay version that doesn't have Art of War and later ones

Lmayo
the Byzantine emperor IS pretty shit tough
Just raise your troops and assemble them when the war is about to trigger
also fuck with your douxes a lot, they are useless alone against you

>using LMAO

You must be fun at sieges

git gud

yeah i'm just pretty fun in general lmao

you know where to ask help from...

DEUS VULT

>Orthodox
>Doos Bult

Sounds historical. The Byzantines are -meant- to implode and get sodomized by kebabs. Managing to avoid this fate is supposed to be hard.

Also
>no DLC
Why even play as the Byzantines? You don't get any of the cool Decisions. Just pirate it all.

Is there any way not to get fucking "cosmetic" goy creme mods? I just want the fucking gameplay

>Just raise your troops and assemble them when the war is about to trigger

It always goes like this to me

>Beat Seljuk armies once or twice
>Declare white peace
>Armies are in Eastern Anatolia
>Civil war triggers almost immediately

And to top it off at most I only had 8000 troops in the best scenarios

>Just pirate it all.

I'm a technologically illiterate retard that's bought an OS which prevents me from doing this, because believe me I would've.
