Memory fuzzy but wasnt there a DH cose gease mod that took place like 20 years before the start of the anime? also I recall in the map they show one time there is a neutral african state surrounded by brittania whats up with that.

Don't play Holland

too bad i've already sank about 10 hours into this game and still havent gone through 100 years thanks to the mod

NWO or HoI4 Modern Day Mod lads? Which represents post-WW2 more accurately?

kill yourself then

for ck2, does city tax only affect counties where the main holding is a city? most of my counties have castles I think. does that mean the Large city tax doesn't work there?

...

Societies in CK2 seem like an interesting additional. I might end up buying or pedophirating Monks and Mystics.

see my previous post here

Reposting to see if anyone has some suggestions on how to turn this around.

Prepared for a year, my puppets were gearing up, had just a war with Bulgaria for some Turk land. Even started preparing for a possible end of the war by starting nuclear research.

Declared war in early 1950. Plan red and blue went perfectly, took over most of MittelAfrika in just a few months thanks to my armored cavalry and mechanised infantry. German and Spanish colonies fell as quickly as I hoped, only Malaysia resisted a bit. By mid-1950, I had accomplished most of my goals, was starting to take troops away from Africa to Central Asia. The Asian front was holding: I took heavy casualties, but they took twice if not thrice as much. But then I started seeing German, French troops in Asia, and the Russians amassing more and more divisions. Then everything went to shit. The Russians attacked in Afghanistan with IIRC more than a hundred divisions in one province mostly held by Indian troops. The front broke. French/German invasions in North Africa, Chinese advances in the Himalayas and Burma, Ukrainians took over Bulgaria, tried to attack Turkey but the Turks are pushing back.

So here's the situation in early 1951. I'm retreating from India. They reached the Gangeatic plains, and it's too hard to hold. My troops, especially mountaineers, are doing their absolute best to keep Baluchistan and hold a corridor to funnel my troops through. The troops that were just too far retreated to the Naga hills and the jungles of northern Burma, but I'm starting to evacuate some by boat, thankfully the Chinese have almost no navy and the German squadrons were destroyed. I'm thinking of evacuating Indochina, but it's still a quiet front I can hold. I'm starting to make plans to just evacuate all my troops from the region, maybe retreat first to Malaysia, then probably take them back home.

I'm getting rekt. Seems like Allah isn't with me. I knew I should have restored the Caliphate.

Press :geega: to pay respects

So, I've heard this general is infamous for shitposting and autism.

Why is that? Give me a taste of it, if you want.

Were a group of people that litterly watch maps change color the fact it breeds autism in the place were we group is inevetable. Also we are pretty stable right now so you wont see much.

>implying you're smarter than Soviet leadership who tried to turn Central Asia into a breadbasket

Sasuga, Caspian.

I was against this mememod, but if you can adapt this into the V2 version of Dark World, I'll like you.

ZOG OFF, WE DA EMPRAH NOW

Naisu, but this IS Imperial Russia. Doubt the Patriarch will approve...

>there's no such thing as a perfect Euro--

>I was against this mememod, but if you can adapt this into the V2 version of Dark World, I'll like you.
I want this. V2 needs a Dark World seeing as its one of the chief playable games alongside CK2 and DH.

Also he posted a link a few posts down, I think.

Can anyone give me a direct download link to the latest HoI4 Kaiserreich?

*cums all over your face* hmmm yes what a perfect europa make my willy go GROBBBBBBBB

>Two Sicilies
>Doesn't even have a single Sicily

Of course. The euro is shit. The Deutsche Mark was better. And still is. No I´m not bitter about. Not at all.

Your defeat was inevitable. You have fucking Germany, France, AND Russia all against you. Declaring war was pretty stupid imo.

did you get the answer to your question?

Yes, I think so. Thank you.

nice

So, what do you enable or disable that disables ironman? Be honest.

Personally, fuck adventurers; they're never any real threat and wars with them take forever because they declare and then don't show up for several years.

>That little British strip of Eritrea
Unacceptable

Thats actually Danish. Theres an event in HPMeme that gives someone (I think a secondary power) Djibouti and Assab (the strip), but I colonized Djibouti before the event fired so when Denmark got the event they just got Assab. I'll take it from them or changeowner it at some point.

Jesus can someone convert DoD to HPM? PDM is a fucking mess.

>I'll take it from them or changeowner it at some point.
Out of all the features Victoria II is lacking, province purchasing is probably the most irritating.

What's the historical basis behind that? Legit question, from what I know Eritrea only stopped being in Ethiopian hands once Italy took it as a concession, and France was the first European power to colonize Djibouti as well. Am I wrong?

What about actual throughput/output not mattering at all in your industrial score, just "the amount of groups of 10k pops you have working in factories"?

spee here what game is this?
Does it work on linux?

DoD?

Divergences of Darkness.

Some danish king probbaly was an a bender and conquered it cause why not. I mean pretty much every nation at least tried colinizing in some form. Even Poland owned a small bit of Africa and it didnt even exist.

Take Libya, Lebanon and the rest of Ethiopia and it'll be perfect.
Get rid of Mauritania and Sokoto tho

LINK NOW

It doesn't always fire for Denmark. I've seen Austria-Hungary get it, too, sometimes Sweden. I don't know what the historical basis is.

Victoria 2
Linux a shit so idk

>In 1869 it was bought by the Rubattino Shipping Company of Italy from the local Sultan.[5] This laid the foundations for the formation of the colony of Italian Eritrea which became the independent country of Eritrea.

The event in question fires for a random country and has the Sultan sell it to them. I usually see Austria Hungary get it.

Tfw the Yucatan penennsula was almost annexed and turned into a state by the US. Tfw Iceland could have been purchased after WWII. Hindsight makes me sad.

>linux a shit
'no'
Thanks though I'm gonna get EU IV because I read the OP

AFPguy, you around?

Hey, I've found where the programmers for this game live!

Yes. I am.

mp game where?

idk wasn't it with you last time?

>open hoi4

make a byzantine japanese imperial communist flag or whatever the meme was

During the war of the pacific against Chile the US Ambassador to Peru wanted the USA to annex and then admit them to the union.

I want to do an early start Crusader Kings game, play until the end, and then import it to EUIV.

The problem is, every early start CK game I play, important places like the HRE never form, leaving Christianity permanently weakened. (Plus, I have no idea what would happen to EU with no HRE).

Hell, in my last game, I started with the Charlemagne start, and he refused to do anything he was supposed to do, died, and France split into a bunch of warring kingdoms until they got eaten by the Muslims. (And of course, the whole time they were an ugly quilt of "West Francia, East Francia, and France in random county-level blobs)

So, is there any way to have an early start and still have the primary important events trigger?

WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT posted in last thread but still pissed fucking wasted money

Does anybody have any good ideas in terms of long term goals for playing Venice in ck2?
I've already cucked Croatia out of it's coastal provinces and I am now making more monthly cash than the HRE despite consisting of four provinces. I can always assure my election as Grande Doge due to the money I'm pulling and I'm at the maximum cap for trade outposts.
This has all been done in the first 30 years of a 1066 start and now all the republic mechanics feel too easy.
So is there any hard but possible goals I should try to achieve?

Known bug with the AI, sometimes it just groups up and stays without moving. Happens to allies, enemies, everyone. Basically, the AI has a list of options for it to take at any point in time, and in certain situations it gets no options, so it does nothing. Because it does nothing, it doesn't give itself new options, and stays stuck.

I've even heard rumors of the bug leaking to recent versions of CK2 because of reused code.

Become the only merchant republic.

k

Just start in 1066 like any decent person.

>tfw no HPM version of DoD

Something is wrong. I'm play EU4 for the first time in 6 months and I'm having fun. What is wrong?

Can you recreate this flag in a non shit quality?

Holy shit, didn't I do that flag for Companymod years ago? In fact, I got the original right here.

Where to now lads?

APF guy, can you do a flag for a french puppeted Ireland?
>Republic of Ireland (whole island)
>French Empire (Bonapartist/Constitutional)

Thanks lad

Very well, I'll see what I can do.

>Yemen still exists

Are you really going to let them escape with your rightful sand?

You still havent united Islam under your rule.

Yeah it bugs me that the AI will prefer literally any Empire title to the HRE.

No idea why it bugs me, but it does.

absolutely white

Ok so I decided to go with the flag of the Society of United Irishmen, who led the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

I decided to use this flag since France intervened in this rebellion in favour of the revolutionaries, and said revolutionaries saw themselves as an Irish continuation of France's own revolution.

This flag is admitedly similar to the flag I use for monarchy Ireland, but the design of the harp is distinct enough to be noticeably different.

Yeah thats why I asked you, the rest of them looked fine but this was in this shitty quality for some reason.

Just a randpm question, do you really enjoy making flags? I've only done it a handful of times and it's ok but time consuming. You always have to strike a balance between things that are regenerative and rewarding vs how much you invest.

For me it feels like labour-therapy (not sure if this term exists in english actually). It can be time consuming but it feels as enjoyable as playing a videogame sometimes even.

I like that. Do you think there's any way that you could include Napoleonic (bees/the N) or French Revolutionary components (Phrygian cap, etc)?

That's good. When you enjoy doing something it's only "work" about 1/5th of the time or so while the rest is leisure.
