This day in history, November 22th: 845 – The first King of all Brittany, Nominoe, defeats the Frankish king Charles the Bald at the Battle of Ballon near Redon. 1718 – Off the coast of North Carolina, British pirate Edward Teach (best known as "Blackbeard") is killed in battle with a boarding party led by Royal Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard. 1940 – World War II: Following the initial Italian invasion, Greek troops counterattack into Italian-occupied Albania and capture Korytsa. 1942 – World War II: Battle of Stalingrad: General Friedrich Paulus sends Adolf Hitler a telegram saying that the German 6th Army is surrounded.
These options are basically the same thing in the early middle ages. What the fuck
So I can choose the option where he guts me open with a knife and says I hope this works, or I can choose the option where he guts me open with a knife while a witch doctor assistant dances in a circle and prays that it works.

Turns out they actually didn't accept on the next turn and then their rebels finally won and they became the worker's commonwealth and they let the crisis go all the way to a real war. I hope my 40 dreadnoughts and 50 battleships and 1300 outdated 4/4/1/1 stacks are enough to achieve victory against kleindutchland and already-50%-WE-"great"britain.

playing CK2 now after taking a break since 2014. Council are the biggest cunts ever. Every 3 years there is some faggot vassal who starts a faction for increasing council powers and declares war on me, even though I crushed the 10 revolts before him. And if I grant council powers, they'll limit my every fucking action Vassal plots to kill you? Fuck you, you can't imprison him because we don't allow it. Just fuck off, I'm the fucking King, I can do what I want, but I'll face the consquences for it. It's not some shitty cuck democratic republic. Are there any mods that fix this shit? It's made CK2 unplayable for me

>playing CK2 now after taking a break since 2014. I did the same thing 3 days ago, let me give you some advice.
>Council are the biggest cunts ever. The bigger you get, the worse off you are. You don't need council rights at all for a county or probably even for a well-organised duchy, but once you hit kingdom or empire you need to start giving them some rights.
>And if I grant council powers, they'll limit my every fucking action Choose the ones that aren't so bad. For example, banishment and execution aren't too bad if the Council has permission. Managing them isn't too bad in any case, it's not dissimilar to managing your vassals so they're not inclined to join plots of factions, and you can just pay them off to vote for you most of the time. You choose who goes on the council.
>Fuck you, you can't imprison him because we don't allow it. Additionally, even if you wanted to do something that they didn't want you to do and that you've passed a law saying they get to vote on, you can just ignore them and take the relations penalty.

The early periods are vital. Make sure that you give no ground whatsoever. ABSOLUTELY nothing. Use suppression points carefully and make sure you revoke press reforms and meetings as soon as you bloody well can. That does mean that bureaucrats are a necessity for those suppression points. Clergy to 4% in every region are also necessary. The only reforms you should pass are those related to health or schooling, but the anger that other groups will feel at being ignored will require them being repressed, by secret police or the national guard if need be.
As you conquer more territory you might find that those new pops are more liberal than your core citizenry. If you are playing HPM, cultural rights are the devil. Voting, if you go that way, should always be the prerogative of your natural born citizens, and if you have fostered a conservative nature then they will not elect parties who encourage more broad based electoral platforms.
I played a Papal State game and the only mistake I made was allowing broader cultural rights. The people of Rome were so conservative that it was actually impossible to get the levels of consciousness I needed for them to start migrating to the new colonies I'd opened up.

it really isnt that hard once you get it down, play a game Portugal or S-P and you'll understand it quick, its seems scary and important, but it really doesnt take much focus.
Asher Gutierrez
Expand the dominon of Arabia to include all of arabia(just sphere all of it before forming Arabia as a vassal), Include Iraq in to the holy land(make the ottomans release them and then annex for 5 infamy), because the ottoman borders will look bad if you don't take Iraq. Also take Dalmatia, Crete and the Dodecanese

Well, if that's how you want to play go for it, the game isn't meant to be hard, its meant to give you options, to me the greatest challenge is choosing what I want to do and how I want to do it.
Luke Perry
Why would you ever NOT pass education and health reforms

Thomas Murphy
This is true, but the time period is my favourite so I deal with it desu
I don't know too much about Russia today to make a comment on that.
Regardless, like I said, the point of the game is to make your dream of a country imo, whether it be shithole, paradise or somewhere in between, makes roleplaying nearly integral, playing to win in Victoria is boring as fuck.
