I always love the stories about the eternal anglo troops from back then. My favorite is probably the one about how they could fire those lee enfields in ww1 so quickly the germans initially though they were using machine guns.

happy new year, /gsg/

nice to see a good outcome user :) qing games are 10% luck 20% skill 70% dedication, power of will

Luck played a huge part in my success, the pretender rebels giving me 24K troops right as Chagatai declared war on me saved the run. I had like 15 unpaid loans, 36 corruption, 0 manpower, and 3K troops when the war came. I'm at 45 corruption now, and it's awful.

I'm never playing as a horde again. fuck the tribes and their bullshit unity and events.

I'm that jackass who was playing the Ottomans earlier. Abandoning that run, who should I play as instead? Just Ottomans again, but competently?

happy new year

MP now or I start the race war.

Playing as Khmer in EU4 and I almost have as much development as Ming

What happens if I trigger the Mandate of Heaven? Can I even do that as Khmer?

start it

In 2016 we cracked the dam
In 2017 we must let the river of blood spill

I think Castille is generally a good learning nation. At least it was in EU3. Just try to form Spain and do some colonizing

One of the Irish minors or hordes :^)

im doing GROB GERM in Hpm, I have austria sphered but when I do the thre hurrahs, they dont get annexed, why is that?

are you continuing to form grossqingiums

I'm very new to Vic 2 and have a few questions.
How much of a factory's profit goes into state funds?
I also annexed an African ((state)) which has a shit load of pop, can I convert them into craftsmen?
Is the percent of who's getting what needs meant to jump wildly every day?
& are liquor factory's really cheating?

liquor factories aren't cheating, genocide is the answer to you african problem and your pops needs shouldnt be jumping around unless you suddenly raise or lower taxes.

ignore the retard above. liquor factories arent cheating but they are the most profitable factory by far, so it is optimal to have ~40% of factories as liquor factories depending on the primary resources avalable. needs jump wildly because the demands and economy in vic2 is shit

ayy same

Africans are for slaving away in RGOs and being soldiers, not working in factories.

trob

pls respond

Can you get retinues of your non-native culture in CK2? I'm new and google / the wiki didn't help.

should i puppet these minors or just sphere them?

oh fug i forgod le fotograph

>japs in the levant

>Learning about the political hierarchy of the Roman Empire

it seems to me like Imperial Rome could very easily be included into CK2, as there was a system of territoral grants in place where the Emperor named the leaders of imperial provinces according to their rank as consul besides his other prerogatives.

Realistically Paradox will probably not expand the game's timeline before 769 but it would be a pretty cool and feasible game feature. Perhaps add a few changes to the "Feudal" government and call the result "Imperial" and make the two forms distinct.

Damn I wish China would westernize already

post liquor factories

Can someone explain me how this works?

>USA
>'''''Democracy'''''

bad coding and game mechanics. elections are a pretty much useless half implemented mechanic

I've been stuck with Laissez-faire for 60 years. I've been trying to piss off people the whole time so I can get a revolution, but the only thing I managed was to get 5 wars of independance from secessionnist, and a socialist revolt which didn't even get rid of democracy, so I only got 6 months of State capitalism

is this accurate?

no, lots of german immigrants at this time i think?

not before 1850s really

HPM screwed all the pops, what are the orthodox tatars in Iran supposed to be? fixing will take forever

You want a revolution?
Promote soldiers and put military spending on zero. Also no republic means no migrants and USA will Balkanize itself too.

there were german migrants before 1850 even before the revolution

more accurate than everyone being 100% yankee though tbf

When will there be a mod that just disables elections? Like when they come, you just get an event of who won and that's about it.

So how will you influence them then?

Party support national focus. Make that actually swing people to the ideology you want them to.

The election events, as it is, don't really do anything at all.

Party support is kinda a waste of a focus though.
Maybe if you could do it with something else.
On the other hand game could use a "promote growth" focus once medicine is up.

sick dude, make sure to keep posting your oc, I am sure someone will laugh eventually!!!!!!

I love it when a plan comes together.

close 2/4

I always enjoy seeing the state of the world in peoples vicky games but I must confess I have absolutely no fucking idea what is ever happening in military action screenshots.

delet this

the final solution to the a*strian question

4/4

nice mspaint treed

>removing austrians
But they're the better class of germans user why would you do that?

it was inspect element actually, i am a computer hacker like you

honestly because of their disgusting borders

That's actually a pretty good reason.

alright user whatever floatillas your boatilla. Good luck with anything you want to do in current year :)

>could very easily be included
Not really no. More importantly, even the vaguely similar Imperial Roman government aside, you have the huge problem of Migration Era tribal governments which are literally unlanded half the time, and also the sensitive Rise of Islam event line.

Oh baby

POO'D

Fuckin Ottomans man

but user, muslims are equal to use in every way except for their culture which is special and superior. obviously they should have the same tech speeds, its 2017. if you dont agree with me then you are a racist

>blobbing into canada
It's called United States of AMERICA for a reason lad

>blobbing into useless ice

kys.

I'd be fine with them being that overpowered if they actually started collapsing upon themselves in the late-game as they did IRL instead of recieving some superficial malus.

is there a way to download all of CK2s dlc and have it work with the steam version?

How do I trigger the collapse of the Austrian Empire? I have seen it survive countless wars, and even Great Wars.

Play hpm and use the dismantle nation war goal

>wanting to destroy the only thing keeping south-eastern Europe together.

Whats the best ww1 mod for Herats of Iron 3?

Last two games I played Austria declared war on Russia in the 1830s and got rekt so hard they lost an entire country (1st game Bohemia, second Slovakia) and became a Republic.) If you get them up to full war exhaustion they will implode

There is only one. I would recommend upping the reinforce chance and strength damage to make it more world war 1 like

New player to CK II and /gsg/. Playing as Léon, how on Earth do I banish the Moors and unite Hispania? I don't have dlc.

How to fix this HPM

quick fix: don't play prussia

stop using the minimods, they aren't compatible
