Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Absolutely based.

Absolutely white.

I see. Why remove india? too irrelevant?

Also, I don't get why they had to change the colour of Norway. It looked pretty good with the silver-grey colour in my opinion.

Anyway, thanks for the answers. I think it's time for me to install ck2 again soon. I miss it.

so here I am playing EU IV and I would like to hear why that is a bad choice

W&B

it's not a mod, press the key left to Y or Z depending on your keyboard

help

W&B

Gonna play my first EUIV game since Res Publica was released who should I play as? Planning on continuing it in Vicky 2 so hopefully the world is interesting.

0-2 - England
3-5 - Byzantine Empire
6-8 - Muscovy
9 - Whatever someone recommends

13th for actual last thread

I just want to make a shoutout to the Third Odyssey mod for EU4. This is the most fun I've ever had with the game.
Give it a whirl if you haven't already.

Fuck off commie

...

Daily reminder that Prussia is a truly bottom tier nation.

ready to die in another slaughter unleashed by those emperors and kings?

Kikes out.

How do you get Renaissance faster, aren't non-European countries fucked for that?

...

Finest gentleman coming through

As a Russian this offends me

Which game is best for defending Europe from degeneracy/Islam?

no

>Russian
Proofs?

How do I get rich as Portugal? I'm only getting 1 ducat for income.

>worrying intensifies

blobbing is always the answer

That's changing in the coming patch. Check out the dev multiplayer on the paradox extra channel.

Playing EU3 here, What settings are the best for the game?, Do i turn off inflation?, Do i set up AI aggressiveness to low?.

one of your merchants isn't doing anything. Money as portugal is always abusing trading and colonies.

Castille is losing to Aragon. Quick, eat them and dominate the new world.

Send your lazy merchant to collect in Sevilla.

Aragon has an alliance with France, I was complaining in the last thread how I kept getting wrecked.

Set AI aggressiveness to low as ai is stupid and will go to war for stupid un cored shit

>blobbing in the peninsula as Portugal

Colonize Brazil and Caribbean islands and kick the shit out of Morroco for war reps every time you can.

>poo in loos in charge of not getting encircled

those faggots strat redeployed a shitton of divisions to persia

Forgot to make him do something after recalling, sending him to steer trade to Sevilla from Tunis. I am suffering from Absent Merchant until 14 June, 1468 due to some event.

Hard AI difficulty, low AI aggressiveness, inflation off, 200/400 years map spread, all historical settings off.

Yes to both. AI is retarded, but less so on low. Also the AI cannot handle inflation and will end up at 300+% if you don't turn it off.

What are appropriate borders for an Angeblob?

add guyenne, normandy, scotland and ireland and you're good

43 hours in paint

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>taking Ireland and Scotland
>not taking France
Why would anyone take land that isn't their rightful inheritance as kings of France.

Oh thank the heavens

>Playing easy mode in an easy game
For what purpose?

based guatemala prevents burgers from redeploying their whole army to central america
white and based

How can you blob when you have no money to create armies?

because when they take france they become france

>implying the Angevin Union isn't literally a union of the crowns of France and England

I miss the Arumba who played CK2. I enjoyed his campaigns.

That's a big bulge.

>implying BASED stalin was anything like LGBTENIN

Fuck off I'm not a r*ddt fag
Not an argument :^)

Hey, playing HOI IV as France.
The country became Fascist, and I'd like to help Nationalistic Spain by declaring war on the Commies.

But how ? The only casus belli that I have with the Republican Spain is to 'conquer' them. Thanks.

soon

Turn gommie and get a cb on nat spain

>being a petty bourgeois individualist
>believing CIA propaganda
>never creating a successful revolution

>turn commie
Just fucking fought the whole country resistance, no way.

Can't I conquer commie spain and then give it back to nationalistic spain?

>being a petty bourgeois individualist

>believing CIA propaganda
Hello cointelpro :^)
>never creating a successful revolution
>What are revolutionary spain, paris commune and free territories in ukraine

>successful

Crusader Kings has the best remove options. Ottomans are pretty much the only muslims in eu4 although they can be satisfying to dismantle. Vic2 ottomans are basically secular and pose 0 threat, so you're better off genociding minorities to get your fix.

Historical accuracy.

UH BACK THE FUCK OFF???!??!?

I've tried, my router is shit and forwarding ports doesn't work for me
