Addy a cute

What happened to Israel

Finno-Korean Hyper Wars mod when?

BLACKED and not BASED

kill yourself stupid faggot

Is HoI4 really that much worse than HoI3?

praise Grandi

White and based

Yes

His nose is very un-Aryan tb h

yes, dont even bother

Has this ever been done before? I saw some guide on Reddit and apparantly there's an awesome trick you can do to get all of Austria if you play Germany. Pretty neat, I didn't have to cheat much to do it either!

HoI4 is literally just 'draw a line to the enemy capital to win'

well where can I learn HoI3, its extremely overwhelming so far just trying to play blind.

A good guide or a good video guide would help immensly.

Like I have 0 idea on what is good and whats not. Last time I played as Germany and tried attacking France, absolutely nothing happened, both our armies across the border did absolutely nothing.

Say that to my face and not online see what happens

Anyone here tried the "GROBE SUD AMERIKANER" in V2?

Okay to explain, what ya do is ya make Grand Columbia a thing, as well as the Andine Federation and La Plata(Make sure to give them Chile) , make sure the FRCA is also a thing. And then, just let it roll from there and just watch the South American countries battle it out for supremacy.

I find it kinda interesting. It turns the literally SHIT TIER nations into actually pretty good contenders although I wish more of their borders conflicted so we could see constant war.

I tried it once while playing as the USA and it was pretty cool seeing the south american countries actually doing shit and watching how they just battle it out.

Srsly, try it.

There's no such thing as a perfect Euro-

nice work, lads.

>Russian Baltics
kys yourself

Anyone up for an MP game?

What mod?

vickymod?

HPM

"""H"""PM or NWO (not shit version)

I love and hate institutions simply because of how silly it make make the world if you're playing as an asian country.

Bukhara is currently crushing russia in a war right now.

Oh god it's hideous on so many levels. I know this is bait but thanks for posting it, I needed to rage hard.

Germanic Pagan memes aside, what's a better Scandinavia? A Catholic, Orthodox, Manichean, or Muslim Scandinavia?

Muslim is a modern flair to play your scandinavia

I recently added some provinces to vicky 2 and am having it crash on "creating rivers" for some reason. I've not modified rivers.

I've added entries to regions, climate, positions, etc. I really have no idea what the problem is.

nwo 1.07 when

save continuation when

Ill put on NWO 1.07 in 10 minutes, unless anyone else wants to host (My internet isnt that great)

>adding provinces to Kentucky

But why?

>no luxembourg
it's easy in vanilla but very hard in HPM. getting all of the Hapsburg crown land is probably the most difficult thing

>ottomans get institutions before austria
Why?

ive only got 1.06, can I get a 1.07 dl?

Kentucky is based, why would you not want more of it?

>The last Byzantine-Roman Emperor, Constantine XI Palaiologos, was crowned, four years before the Fall of Constantinople.
Lads...

May as well add more provinces to the rest of the states tbqh.

Boy, you have to answer my question before you ask yours

Meant for

Are you expecting ottomans to not be busted in EU4?

I don't know, I've never modded the map for Vicky 2 before. I was just making a comment.

Scandi for some reason to me seems like it's a bulwark of Protestantism. Dunno if that would change.

However, Manichean North Africa, or Caucuses could work. Bogomil Balkans. Cathari/Protestant southern France/north Italy.

Look lad, I'm just trying to make my mod here. The quicker someone helps me actually get things together the quicker you can mock my memes.

The map files need to align with each other perfectly so even if you didn't make any changes to rivers.bmp chances are you made other changs that caused it and provinces.bmp to no longer match each other pixel by pixel. Check for bad pixels, i.e rivers going where no rivers should be or the other way around.

stop making fucking comments then

anyway I think the burn ban notice map is the most correct and aesthetically pleasing division of kentucky, and I want those to be the new provinces.

Is KR white and based as far as mods go?

different germans have different noses sizes

hitler probably had frankish blood

>hitler probably had frankish blood

But he was Austrian.

Hey, could you answer this?

Okay, first time hosting so it might be pretty bad, is anyone still downloading?

what did you use to edit the files?

The problem is they don't rise to the heights they historically did and they don't get blown the fuck out as they historically did. In reality Europe coalitioned them and fought them out of Vienna, but in the game they just stall at Bosnia/Bulgaria.

I'm using gimp and exporting with the default settings

How exactly should I do that? I understand what you're saying, I'm just not sure how to proceed with checking to see if that's the problem. I could supply the files btw

I am, gimme about 10 mins.

this is really interesting

Only the Darkest Hour version

The Marble King will return, when his sons come to reclaim the City.

I'd say that's an ok compromise

Get any non-shit image editing tool, both GIMP and Paint.NET are free, the latter is easier to use. You should have done this from the start since the .bmps should always be edited and then saved as a 24bitmap .bmp to prevent data loss, paint cannot do this.

Open both pictures in separate layers and just tweak the opacity to make one transparent enough to see the others, then temporarily paint the provinces.bmp in the same colour so it'll be easier to see any irregularities.

>mosley will never give these hippies a bath
Why live?

The HoI4 version will be superior once its complete

If not for the virtue that NF system is flexible and the game isn't running on 1995 software

When saving with GIMP, you have to check a box that says "do not save color space information"or something along those lines

MP when?

I just said that I was using GIMP. I'm also fairly certain that paint.net fucks with the colors somehow, but whatever. The layering idea is pretty great, though, so I'll certainly try that.

>implying I read your post
you probably fucked the colour values over when saving, read

>hoi4

'no'

Is there someone that's written a tutorial or hints on modding games like Victoria II? I want to dismantle the usual Great Powers to have an Alternate History kind of game and see who rises up in those power vacuums.

Just throw your hard drive in the microwave senpai

This is cancer, delete the save and start again.

First try

NWO 1.7 MP

65.33.154.250

This is why we need Mosley. The people just imagine it's romantic, the revolution. As if you get your guns out by midday and you can eat your croissant and frappuchino by evening. As if wearing soldier's kit and gear makes you lose to university students.

They need to understand the power of the proletarian army. It is not a rabble.

Sadly not much of a progress the last 40 years, AE is a bitch - but at least I've taken Berlin now. Who knew blobbing was so slow, HRE is really a brick wall.

download?

If it didn't work at first it should be fixed now

I told you to turn on Scotland, lad.
