Actually, does anyone know if subjects I released will be reformed inti? Or will they be unable to embrace institutions

>south america
>incan mexico
wew lad

MULTUMIM CAPITANE

Released subjects auto-embrace institutions that are present. You can exploit this to get Feudalism early as Natives, before even meeting Euros.

>if subjects I released will be reformed inti?
i believe subjects take on the religion of their capital when released, so make sure you convert that prior to releasing them

What's the point of putting the Companymod pastebin in the OP when it's not out yet?

That sounds kind of bad. You wont be getting your 75% of tech off a western power right? Unless you can somehow manage to reform within 50 years or something.

>Portuguese Brazil

Reformed inti isn't really a different religion though, it's just a game mechanic or something

>French La Plata

That's a good point, I just heard someone suggest it in a previous thread so I put it up. If you have a suggestion to replace it, I'll put it in if I make the next thread

nth for subs finally out

anybody wanna do a comfy late night or early morning mp?

>Reformed inti isn't really a different religion though, it's just a game mechanic or something

Oh, been a while since I've played EU4, my bad
>playing EU4

How long until new threads start getting made 750 posts early?

for what

i want to fuck Sucy, Akko, Lotte, Diana and Amanda

Is Anime Hogwarts any good?

I'm too scared to ask /a/ whether I need to watch the old OVAs or if it's ok to start with this new season.

you can watch the tv series you dont need to watch the old ovas. also its good

This is what's gonna happen soon:
>R&I reports this thread because 100 posts early
>janitard deletes the thread
>R&I makes a new thread with his edited and outdated OP

>people talking about anime
>"believable shitposts"

Are they retconning the old episodes or something?

the ovas literally had no timeline, while in the tv series it starts when akko joins the school.

don't forget steamcordplaza immediately flooding the new thread with /pol/ falseflagging and anti/pol/ falseflagging

we report his thread and move on

>/pol/ falseflagging and anti/pol/ falseflagging
How do you know it's not just loads of retards?

No, just you.

no , we.
>implying im just one person behind this computer
lad,

>Aurora is still in the infopic
Fucking epic. I thought you replaced it with Rule the Waves.

These primary sources on south Africa are fucking gold desu

>The language of the bushmen has not one pleasing feature ; it seems to consist of a collection of snapping, hissing, grunting sounds, all more or less nasal.

>All efforts to preserve the remnant of the Bosjesmans have proved abortive ; and some boors have been known to boast of the number of the earliest proprietors of South Africa whom they have slain, as if they were so many reptiles whom it was an
honour to have annihilated.

>On the other hand, I am happy to say, some boors have allowed them yearly a stock of sheep for their support; which, however, they seem unable to take care of.

hmmm, who would have thought, blacks are literally subhuman.

Really activates my almonds

hmm, who would have thought, a faggot on /gsg/ literally believing racist diatribe written solely to justify colonialism.

Really makes me think.

hmmm, who would have thought, a plebittor on /gsg/ that is against clonialism, i bet you re also against imperialism.

really made me think.

This is why Europeans should have unironically killed every African they met and populated the land with real humans.
And so is this

why can't that be an honest account of his view of/experience with blacks in south africa?

of course that experience mirrors everyone's experience with blacks throughout history. it's starting to seem like colonialism is a weak argument for why sub-saharan africa is still a shithole today...and that's ignoring the fact that some countries in africa were never colonized or only colonized for a short period of time and are still massive fucking shitholes (liberia and ethiopia). i'm sure people have their just-so stories for that too though.

will M&T2 run like shit on an OC'd i5?

if so why?

Nah lad it's just communism's fault :^)

the developers cant even run their own mod past 20 fps.

Meanwhile, of all the South African natives, the Basotho seem most adaptable (though even then not quite civilized).
>The Basotho were unique among southern African blacks in that they possessed horses in large numbers, and became so good at handling them that one British officer likened them to cossacks.
>And so it was with guns. The Basotho first obtained them from fallen Griqua, but they were astute enough to realise their potential and by the mid-century had acquired large numbers from gun runners.
>...the Basotho made serious efforts to improve their firepower-in 1865 they even had six cannon acquired from smugglers, as well as a 3pdr. cast in Basotholand under European supervision

If you actually read the account, you'd see that the author is actually very sympathetic to the South African blacks and was rather disgusted at their killing by the Boers

...

Yea, it takes me more then a miute to go through a month on a computer that runs current games decently. I went back to playing the normal EU4, remembering it as slow, and everything when as fast as lightning.

On the other hand its everything EU4 should have been so I have no complaints.

the problem is that since they dont have full access to the engine, they cant improve the performance issues. honestly paradox should try and start licensing his engine.

If I expected that you were actually interested in a dialogue I would provide my view on it, but I seriously doubt I could say anything which would change your viewpoint.

Instead, I'll say only this: relying upon sources which are created with an evident, unsuppressed bias is dangerous, regardless of whatever view the author is espousing. This author has a clear socio-cultural and economic reason to portray Africans as inferior, and so why wouldn't he? Especially when science at the time was overtly suggesting such.

>If you actually read the account, you'd see that the author is actually very sympathetic to the South African blacks
In a paternalistic sense at best. I'm not disagreeing with you, but what he's saying is still only being said in a manner which justifies superiority.

Everyone always needs to use primary sources, and I applaud you for looking for them, but that language is still very biased, even if it's by far nowhere near the worst I've seen from the period.

If Paradox named a price and I got a 100% speed boost guarantee I would pitch in.

The engine is total shit though

What the fuck even happened

it maybe shit but it is still the best developed engine for grand strategy. and a lot of the modders dont have the skill or the time to create a new engine for free.

>In physical structure, the Cape Dutchmen are a fine race; in some districts their stature and strength are gigantic
>...embonpoint is one of the chief beauties of a Dutch housewife: perhaps the Hollanders (who are no bad judges of character) consider that plumpness and good temper are in an equal ration

thicc

But they were superior. They were talking about people whos greatest achievement was building a 15 ft tall mud wall with spikes.

It's hideous.

>inca coring japanese provinces
EPIG XDDD

alright /gsg/ r8 my idea for north america in my vicky 2 mod

Dark Blue - Kingdom of France under House of Orleans, runs Canada and New Orleans, primary rival of the Protestant Bloc. Constitutional Monarchy

Blue - Swedish Empire under Wittelsbach, head of the Protestant Bloc in North America against France. Absolute Monarchy controls most of the mid-west

Light Green - Plymouth Repbulic, Puritan Theocratic Republic allied to Sweden controls north east

Orange - United Provinces, Reformed Constitutional Monarchy allied to Sweden, controls all of New York

Red - Carolina Kingdom, Catholic Jacobite kingdom led by the remnants of the House of Stuart who fled to North America and took it over sponsored by the French and Swedish to go against England, now allied firmly with France. Controls most of the South

Light Blue - Dakota Federation, Ghost Dance Neutral federation, recently "civilized" they're slowly navigating European politics and massive native migration to the federation is slowly turning them into a serious power

Dark Green - Alaskan Republic, Russian Breakaway state formed during the Russian Anarchy

Yellow - Alaskan Hetmanate, Cossack breakaway state formed during the Russian Anarchy

Green - Alaskan Tsardom, Loyalist monarchist bastion run by the Tsars nephew in the new world,

What are some Empires people think are Holy and Roman, but actually aren't?

>but I seriously doubt I could say anything which would change your viewpoint.
well you wouldn't say anything new or interesting. i've heard all if not most of the just-so stories. some are pretty wacky.

but they are just-so stories that can't be falsified. nobody should place stock in them.

then how about you look at the facts. all of africa is a shithole. it doesn't even matter if it was colonized or not it is still a shithole. maybe it is because of the inferiority of the negroid species?
nah you of course think that every human is equal and that there is no way intelligence is affected by genetics right?

the grandmaster received a vision of the future and decided to prevent it

that looks like PU rng in action.

Fuck off degenerate fr*g

Why are there straight lines everywhere?

...

>but they are just-so stories that can't be falsified.
If you truly believe that, your arguments are no better: they're merely claims which can't be verified. Between an explanation which can't be falsified and a claim which can't be verified, which is superior? Inherently neither, unless you believe that the manner and quantity of evidence can account for the difference, in which case we're back to the original situation in which you won't change your view even if I provide all my evidence, and you won't change my view if you provide all of yours.

>then how about you look at the facts. all of africa is a shithole.
wew

>nah you of course think that every human is equal and that there is no way intelligence is affected by genetics right?
No, it's quite possible intelligence is affected by genetics, and I believe that's likely, in fact. But if you think that genetic influences on intelligence are wholly deterministic, or that the influence is more than a few points in one direction or the other, you're the retard here. Our genetic code is far too similar--99.5%--for anything else to be possible.

seems like a waste of space unless they have potential to conquer the pacific northwest

Overall cool desu but you'd have to do some serious province overhauls

>what is cranial difference.
mmmm really made me think,

Which of the Hearts of Iron games has the most scope for radical changing of history?

Like i.e. making Britain socialist and joining up with the USSR or something.

this just a proof of concept I'll be spicing up the provinces later

thanks lad, anyway to make the Swedes more interesting and how to improve the western border gore and allow the Tsardom the ability to be more interesting?

>what is a non-argument that is entirely unprovable because we haven't mapped the genome fully
hmm really makes me think

It doesn't matter which of you is right, this argument belongs on another board lads

>don't worry guys, my source it totes legit, regardless of me cherrypicking it

there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the majority of variance between races in various life outcomes including crime, education, and health is due to heritable causes.

and of course it's a far simpler explanation than the elaborate fairy tales people construct to explain away the hundreds of contradictions that plague every environmental/historical just-so story. it's a cliche but it's analogous to the heliocentric vs geocentric view of the solar system.

Thanks I can really tell how white and based germanianus is from this map

>implying it will ever be proved since it's racist to even suggest there is a difference let alone investigate it

>improve the western border gore
I'm sure if you made western provinces follow some natural limits like mountains and rivers it will look much nicer and will smooth out the big russian benis sticking into the hetmanate

>allow the Tsardom the ability to be more interesting?
It would be neat with some events and such, but if it's just a truncated alaska with a few russian pops it would end up kind of boring for the player

So the option to core and annex Sinkiang and Mongolia (as Nat. China) in return for entering the war against Germany won in a landslide, so that's what I'll be doing.

One final poll: should I also annex Tibet, both for aesthetic borders and full Chinese integration? They aren't anyone's puppet and I wouldn't be invading them, I'd just be justifying it as them instantly surrendering because of the number and strength of my forces on the border (which are overwhelming).

WARNING
diplomacy is not comfy, advising against joining
someone always leaves

It's provable through simple rudimentary observation. To onus is on YOU to prove that all human ethnic groups magically have the same cognitive abilities or potential despite tens of thousands of years of divergent evolution in wildly differring environments.

hmmm, really makes you think doesn't it/

These games are about hating niggers. You're just lying because you're a triggered leftycuck from who wants us to post some ebin ulm games and complain whenever anyone criticizes the new institution system that makes central africa more advanced than central Europe.
