EPIC FOR THE WIN

Can you maybe fuck off?

>milan went protestant
>printing press spawns in Milanese Genoa


Fuckin ebin

Question for yall:
Where online can you discuss History one minute, then Gaming the next?
Then maybe learn some Philosophy then talk about Movies and Books? Then after that, relax by watching some funny .GIFs, reading some AARs, or viewing some borders that're only mildly irritating? Do you know of any such board?

Answer:
It sure as hell isn't Reddit, if that's what you're thinking. It's an amazing community I've been using called /gsg/. I honestly feel my IQ has increased at least 20 points since I bought my Veeky Forums pass. It's also why I've been using reddit a lot less. If you want to get away from mindless drivel and stupid whoring for upvotes, come join me on

How did you filter him? Is it a 4chanx feature?

You know they fixed this shit months ago, right?

So what's the new way to pirate EU4 dlcs with a legit copy now that the activator doesn't work

Japanese should've done that IRL maybe they wouldnt have lost. I mean, if 2017 A.I. is making these tactical choices, surely it would crush any 1940s tactics.

Hey lads, I posted my Italy game in the last thread, well I managed to form Rome with plenty of time to spare, and I'll have Commonwealth integrated before 1820 for Mare Nostrum too.

I just wish I could at least keep the other Italian cultures as accepted instead of getting all these meme cultures.

can someone send the download link for hoi4 kaiserreich please?

here you go buddy

i meant the one for pirates but thank you

oh look, another LE ROME, epic post lad

thanks nigger

More than likely, he's at least a /pol/lack

is there no way to change culture of a province in ck2? I conquered Sicily ages ago and its still berber, I was hoping I could make all of my holdings Italian but it just doesn't happen

It needs to be owned by a person of the culture you want to change it to and be next to a province that is already said culture. Even then the mean time to happen is based on admin score of the person and even with an admin of like 30 its still only going to happen after 20 years with worse people taking fuckin centuries. For example I conquered wales fairly quickly as a brit by the time I got bored 2 centuries later only 3 provinces had switch to my culture. Theres also a cheat that changes it.

It happens through random events, no way to do it reliably. Tribals can do it semi-reliably because one of their councillors have a 'settle tribe' mission which fires pretty often.

>implying that /gsg/ would ever put that much work into anything
Excepting HPM, nobody has ever done that kind of work without rapidly fucking off or being forced to fuck off.

Is there any reason to get the newer versions of NWO? It seems like he didn't only shit up the provinces, but also the map design. The EvW map he used in 1.07 is perfect.

>implying HPM's clique bitch archivelad would let anyone compete with his master

There is literally no reason

I followed him because he reminds me of a less funny Fitzthistlewits and I need my fitz fix

Fitz made a reddit post not a very long time ago explain why he quit. He also said that he had an alternate ending to his story if he somehow won the golden joystick that would had led to him going mad with power then giving up vidya and becoming a hermit. RIP fitz.

I miss the lad

Based

wait, so if universities give science spread, but no science points, does that mean that its a waste of money if nearby provinces are less developed than mine?

Based

No. Ideally one could import new content and bugfixes from the later versions into 1.07, but it's better than the later versions. 1.12 seemed to be pretty promising with the pop growth overhaul.

The opposite, it boosts spread out of the province into surrounding ones.

Why do you guys enjoy living in shit so much?

Hello mates it's time to have a great thread with the lads, so to speak. Rev up your Germanies my gamers.

...

Hello fellow gamers, I've come here with a dilemma I'm facing which I hope you lot can shed some light on. Despite my best efforts at customising my PC gaming rig, perfecting the Whip AND the Nae Nae, and displaying my knowledge of Dank Memes none of the girls in my school seem very interested in entering a romantic relationship with me, and instead go for loud tall nasty brutes and Black Guys (Just to assure you, I'm not racist and I fully appreciate Black People and Black Culture. My favourite artists are Silento and Tupac whom I prefer over my last favourite rapper who was Tyler The Creator because they respect women more) with bigger jaws and hands than me.

I asked my mum and my best friend (Who I have a secret crush on, but despite buying her lunch every day she still hasn't confessed her possible love to me) about this and I learnt from them that appearances do not matter, so why am I still without a girlfriend? I am kind, helpful, intelligent, and I don't pose a threat to anyone especially women. What do I do? Do I need to increase my dabbing by 100%? I've recently received £50 from my granddad for my birthday and I was thinking of buying a new Minecraft hoodie off the internet with my mums permission, could that impress the geek and gamer girls? I wish to hear your thoughts guys.

Watch mechagamezilla. He's the guy who helped fitz write a couple of his videos IIRC.

Why is it that nobody in my generation wishes to discuss the finer points in life, such as PC Gaming and combating degeneracy? Since when was having large useless muscles which will go away in 20 years seemingly more appealing to Aryan Women than being thoughtful, intelligent, and pure-blooded? Fucking degeneracy these days. It's all propaganda meant to destroy white civilisation. Aryan women no longer have nice non-threatening petite bodies like in Anime and Manga but have nasty fat chunky boobies and bottoms meant to appeal to niggers and degenerate brutes.

>thinking a v2 fallout mod would have anything on the dh fallout mod (that already exists)

Uh, who's the qt in charge of that Canada?

>using vanilla HoI2 textures

How about you kill yourself

>tfw unga bungas fuck your shit up with god generals even though you have a 4 mil tech advantage

>tfw you will never be a great military mind defending your people from the technologically superior enemy invaders

more like that feelio when when you're a virginial pc gamer faggot playing EUsnore lmao kill yourself

I may have pushed them back, but at what cost?

I will never forget the proud, brave sacrifice of these noble people

There's a texture mod for HoI2? Does it work with or have an equivalent mod for Darkest Hour?

epic strait

What are the natural borders of Persia?

Managed to annex both of the shitty little natives that fucked me.

During that I had rebels that I just gave up to because who the fuck cares about a 1/1/1 kamchadals

Also ming saved me from bankruptcy and is giving me subsidies, I've never seen an ally do that before.

*shitposts*

...

desu maybe stop at sinai and constantinople gulf for better aesthetics

does anyone have goy4 kaiserreich dwonload pls ^_^

go to cs*rin*ru, they have a mod sharing thread

based and somalian

Grease and Bulgaria decided to restart the Balkan Wars. Since Russia is no longer commie, they can have Eastern Europe under a SoI, I need to focus on opposing the socialist British.

>2015
>just now researching modern infantry armor
Good joke, takes me back to 2005

>Russia still exists
>HRE still exists
>Persians haven't been exterminated as a people
Wew lad. I'm sure Byzantine fell before you formed Rome, so Russia wants to call itself the Third Rome still. And you're allowing the Holy Roman Empire exist still even though you're clearly in a position to dismantle it.

I hope you're only keeping Maldovia too, so you can actually have decent borders and not a random Roman blob surrounding Germany.

murifat gameplay? please play a real game or atleast a real country that can even beat some squinty eye gooks. trash country run by, the jews, so are you

Wew, only a day after they lose Pommern in a crisis, Germans decide to take it back with war.

>wew

We get it dude, you go on Veeky Forums.

Is it possible to genocide in the nwo mod ?

Thanks

no

Damn how am i gonna make sudafricums majority afrikaaner then ?

Yes.

Wrong.

We get it dude, you're edgy.

>letting the commies win in china
lad what are you doing?

Abandoned my Genoa game, started a Florence one.

Turns out, Florence is better at being Genoa than Genoa. The Genoese missions to conquer cities all over the Mediterranean are really good, but their events/ideas are not very good.

Time to colonize the Black Sea.

How ?

Go populist, there's a decision to take to genocide all non-primary and non-accepted cultures.

Go away

Fuck me.

My only ally ming collapsed, and japan declared war on me, then stack wiped a 26 stack with his 23 stack with god rolls

then I just closed the game because losing hokkaido essentially meant losing everything because I dumped thousands of mana points into it to force institutions.

I wasn't even behind in military tech, I have no idea what happened, He fucked my ass crossing a strait with a 1/2/2/1 general

Colonizing alaska was a mistake, I should of immediately hopped to california.


Also is there a way to get a better religion than Animist? Are you able to convert to shinto or buddhism somehow really early as Ainu? Korea probably would of allied me had I not been animist.

If you get a province of another religion you can convert to it iirc. I could convert to Sunni/Hindu after colonizing two provinces of that religion as Tidore, so I'm sure it works just like that for Ainu, unless your government affects it.

Why don't you load the backup immediately after losing the battle? Sure it's gamey and pretty much cheating, but what the hell. You can alternatively, for a funner playthrough, get the province of Cholula in Mexico and become Nahuatl.

>White anglo

>become nuhautl
Something tells me this isn't actually possible.

Also wouldn't this completely fuck my game anyways? I'd have to reform the religion right?

The provinces of Cholula, and the southernmost province of Ceylon have events that let you convert to the province's culture (Theravada and Nahuatl).

It would perhaps make your game more difficult, but it would certainly be a very fun, roleplaying playthrough.

Just imagine it, Ainu explorers discover the great cities of Mesoamerica, are fascinated by their wealth and culture and adapt their culture to theirs. Or something like that. It's not without precedent either, most conquerors end up adapting to the conquered culture (China, Normans, etc).

You know, I'm honestly not surprised that this event fired.

>duchy
LMAO

I finally got the immortality questline to work out in ck2. Anyway, any advice on how to improve the stats of my king? Like, I figure since I got forever to do it, I can at the very least pick up all the fancy bonuses the various focuses give.

I'm not an elector.

I tried, but the chinks declared 'nuclear peace'. Russians nuked them back when they were the USSR and Sino-Soviet split became a war.

Is this Meow and Taxes?

It's vanilla ironmeme

just go to the wiki and look up the WoL traits and it should say what gives what

it's all in the OP, lazyass
