R&I you eternally autistic imbecile, you can't even fucking align Knights of Honor correctly after pasting black all over. Did you consult the thread before this? Why the fuck are you even editing shit like this? For all your autistic control over the fucking OP, you refused to update the actual OP for a fucking year or more like the lazy bum you are; now that someone has gone and created one for you, you start pouring a black bucket over parts you personally get triggered by? For fuck's sake at least put in Sengoku Rance and find another game or two instead of just drawing a black rectangle.
Kill yourself.

Why cant I add wargoals ?

W&B

You need more jingoism boy

AGEOD belongs here. War in the X does not


Also, rate my Groß Persianiums

I personally didn't know if I should've added them. The shitposter was for it but there was at least one other guy who wanted it so I just stuffed it in.

B-but I could have liberate Canada from the brit tyrant for free

GROSS COMMUNISM TEUTONICUMS

...

there is a cheat for jingoism if you want it

mp when bois?

tomorrow

nigger. I ain't got time for that.

What the fuck is going on now? I occupy all of it for nearly a year

You need to actually threaten their mainland or drive their war exhaustion way up to get them to peace out. Occupying colonies doesn't mean much.

The last time I poached Canada off the anglos I had a better fleet than them and blockaded the Isles with it after killing all their ships. That made them give up.

They finally caved in
I had a reactionnary uprising and decided to let them take control to see what they're up to.
One week after I get a regime change.
2 months after, 2k jacobins rebels, they occupy DC for nearly a year without a regime change, and suddenly all my country is balkanizing between free states, deseret, etc.
Is this supposed to be this way? Wtf

Rebels have overthrown the (reactionary) federal government, but are unable to institute a new one, so the more influential groups of states are going their own way.

Makes sense to me.

I'm a bit hesitant to unlock the DLC for EUIV. What are the odds that Steam cracks down on this and bans some people?

USA balkanization to keep USA from being the same every game. Are you new to Vic2 mods?

Very small, people have been cracking this stuff for years, and Steam isn't about to kick you out of their customer base because of pirating the DLC of one producer.
If you're scared I think you can launch it directly from the file manager without running steam, or else just pirate the base game too. You will need to run it through steam to get multiplayer though.

>they wouldn't accept this offer
>resign
>load save
>they would accept this offer

really makes you think, huh?

*teleports behind U.S.*

Are these orders acceptable for federal Osterreich?

Green is vassals

If my friend bought victoria through steam and I didn't will we be able to play multiplayer?

>taking Silesia
Don't maybe release it as a puppet, unless you want to be killing north German rebels until the end of the game.

makes sense, maybe just cisleithania + slovakia for a e s t h e t i c s

I don't know it kinda looks like shit

Thanks Vicky. Should've kept the name Bytown though for the memes.

Is communist Germany red in HPM now?

>Hungarian Slovenia

cheat or exploit. thats it.

A bit more entertaining than the usual grossgerm Slovenia

Did they fix the shit people complained about Conclave yet

Can I recreate Byzantium with another country? Playing the country itself at the start seems to be literally impossible.

you can do it as any country as long as your primary culture is greek and your main religion is orthodoxy

So what ambitions should i be picking in ck2? I'm a count andi i'm trying to become the king of poland. I've already done the ones for getting married, having kids, and making wealth. Everything else is just an ambition to be a member of the council for the king of poland. What do i do

France was a powerhouse after they raped Austria-Burgundy twice in defensive wars but then they decided to waste all their troops fighting against Sweden in their war for independence and got vultured by Spain which subjugated Aragon very early.

So I could theoretically go greek-orthodox OPM/country and go full Byzantium. With maybe Greece itself put inbetween? Good to hear. Thanks.

Is anyone ever going to host mp of something else than vicky with grandimod ?

Don't know how this happened, but Salazar would be proud.

you could, for example, also use Serbia and eventually change to greek primary culture after conquering enough greek provinces

How do I stop traitors to the revolution from fleeing my socialist paradise?

How do I get rid of laissez-faire in a democracy? The democratic party has been in charge since the beginning of my USA game and I only have 400 industrial score in 1880s because capitalists are retarded. I tried to get rebels but only dixie separatists rose up

I lost 60 million people in my civil wars, through emigration, in the gulags, and in wars over the course of the last 40 years.

>portuguese south africa
i didnt know i had this fetish

Nothing I could do about it. Also, no way to make croat accepted as Hungary? They were well integrated in their society and politics as far as I know.

I got Europa 4 base game in the sale, and through selling trading cards I can get one DLC. Can someone explain to me why Art of War is the most recommended over Common Sense? I have more issues with economy than I do with battles and wars, and province improvement just seems like its better than making armies faster.

What are your colonies?

>socialist paradise
stop being one

Close your borders so none of your friends can leave.

Still better than China desu

Someone at some point has posted a playthrough of nearly EVERY country there is to play in Victoria 2.

At this point we are just regurgitating games. Can someone play as a nation nobody has posted about before?

I'm thinking maybe Yemen, one of the Indian or Ethiopian minors, Nepal, Tibet, Parma, Frankfurt etc.

I annexed most of Sokoto and Oro, but >cheated to trade of the provinces for that small part of benin with GB because too much niggers and prettier borders.
