Are there any mods that fix HoI4 like HPM fixes victoria?

BLACKED AND NOT BASED

ahnus

anyone got the pic of portugal in eu3 where it's 1 province thin from lisbon to korea?

Western european pig dog pact invaded me for committing ethnic cleansing and none of the warsaw pact came to help :(

i refuse to give up though, but my population is being massacred by the day.

>having a machine pistol as your political party

W&B

no, all of them are still on early stages of development but millenium mod is a good candidate to fixing that shit.

Rate my Europe lads.

>4
in what came

He does though.

:(

i've lost nearly 200,000 people in the last 3 years this war has been raging and my country has erupted to full civil war, all my provinces are under rebel control

and NATO keeps sending wave after wave of naval invasion, i dont have the manpower or moboilized pop to keep up anymore

i think the jig is just about up, gonna keep fighting and hope for a white peace

What does that mean?

also, show me your autism, mates.

>4
in what came

amerindians have neandethal while blacks don't.

>mods
>fixing shit
Show me those naval invasions senpaitachi

Amerindians are related to Asians who are more related to whites than they are blacks. His two components are both as distant from black as can be, and he's at least half of the other one.

it's all ogre now

rip communist Albania 1944-1970, it was a good run

I thought that test was asking which one they prefer in general anyway.

Some guy a few years ago had a game in EU3 where he played Portugal and made a line of provinces from Lisbon to Korea.

absolutely white

People tend to prefer the one they're more similar with anyway.

>that one province north of Kosovo
But why

genetically he is more similar to white than black, blacks are genetically isolated and unrelated to all races.

I only remember that Korean snake around Africa and Asia

hard to say if his borders are even the worst on there

Nice, thanks mate

>blacks are genetically isolated and unrelated to all races.
The ones in the Horn and Madagascar aren't.

madagaskar people are unrelated to blacks, but they have some east african ancestry from taking east african slaves and such, but the population is dominated by migrants from asia.

b-but that's not Portugal

Yeah, I must have remembered wrong. Haven't seen it in a long time.

pic related madagaskar president.

How do I win as Granada

Everytime I try to quickly conquer tlemcen either morocco or tunis ally them

If you havent blobbed into Iberia before 1455 you should start a new game

>Horn
The people in the horn are Caucasoids predominately. They split off from early Caucasoids before they evolved pale skin.

>Madagascar
Polynesians invaded and set themselves up as a ruling class over the native Bantus. Much like with Caucasoids and India, they slowly interbred and mixed and thus the modern people of Madagascar are a hybrid ethnicity.

play timmies into mughals they said
it'll be fun they said

they were right

Should I click the button or keep the vassels?

Timurids are frustrating to play that's for sure.

>?native Bantus
??
Bantus are not native to madagaskar the first evidence of settlement is malaysian.

>protestant austria
button is only for 1820 so you can impress /r/eu4 with your one tag wc

vassal swarm is infinitely stronger

dont push it til 1821, you can feed them land and insta core it. Or you could stop playing since you've already won.

>1749
>ottomans in control of hungary
go retake europe for the europeans

This is probably what ill do especially since I can't get achievements because of a bug.

How do i download the Kaiserreich mod for my pirated version, it is only in steam.

4 years into a democratic nation, Yugoslavia is on the verge of disintegrating. Not very federalized at all anymore, just a loose confederation, this is good for me, greater albania soon.jpg

Unfortunately i'm still recovering from the last war and any reparations i was getting are now gone. The civil war and revolution also ruined my international standings, i have no relevance and no allies.

Well, Sandzak is full of Muslims so they'd integrate pretty well, so i just decided to snatch it.

How goes the war?

I read somewhere Belgium was an easy secondary power to play as, but I keep getting rushed by the netherlands, is my only hope to reload until I get an alliance with GB?

I wanna get back into CK2, and I've decided to either play a German count trying to Habsburg around and form a great realm through diplomacy or a Greek count under the Byzantine Empire, trying to form an independent Kingdom out of the ashes of the Eastern Roman Empire once the Seljuks inevitably use their strong 1066 position to go to Constantinople.

But I'm honestly too stoned to decide. What would you guys rather play?

I think so yeah, i haven't played Belgium in forever but IIRC you start with really friendly relations with GB, so it should be pretty easy to ally with them.

Hey man, got an idea for your Polish exile flags.

For communist, I think you should use the one from my pack, since it has the same colour as the flag from Poland's Government in Exile, so I don't know what else would be better than that.

For fascist, I used the Falanga flag, and combined it with the State Flag of Poland, which is usually used by government bodies abroad.

What do you think?

Maybe 'native' is too strong, but it was bantus living there at that time.

wow this thread is fucking dead what happened

too depressed to play GS, on the job search after being fired

Damn, how'd that happen?

Too busy playing CKii

I just wanted to play the Persian Empire but my vassals are war mongers and have eaten into all the dumb nomads and tribals, meanwhile I had to eliminate Islam because they wouldn't stop the jihads.

I apparently 'did not meet efficiency standards' and was let go. I only held the job for 5 months.

I worked in a warehouse preparing shipments for minimum wage. I'm starting to think I'm worthless as a worker.

wasn't producing enough liquor

>warehouse
Most probably, you were fired so they could hire an illegal for cheaper.

I've worked manual labour for minimum wage too, and I was trash at it for the first 6 months. I got berated constantly. But I eventually got really good at it, they were sad when I quit.

Don't give up user, just actually do your best next time, really put your 100% in until it becomes natural.

It's just a minimum wage job fampai, you can easily find another. Plus, it's not like they fired you for personal reasons or for anything you can't improve on, if they were honest about efficiency standards it just means you have to be a better worker - again you can easily improve on this.

If the environment felt a little fast paced there's plenty of other stuff to do that's a bit slower, apply at a pharmacy for example - morning is always slow.

>Illegals
>in Canada

maybe i should give up modern life and join a Catholic monastery

I'll probably really force myself, next time.

Pharmacy work sounds nice, don't you need a degree for that?

Also, what should I play as.

>you can just apply to a pharmacy without education in america

holy shit that country sucks

Yugoslavia's communist party has collapsed, too. Now's the time for war.

Wish me luck lads.

Sexy flag desu, thanks

im talking about cashier/clerk work, not a pharm technician, yeah you would need a degree for that ofc. are you studying?

Is Ukraine uncolonized?

>trastamara
lolwut

Shit man, in Germany the pharmacists have to do both of those.

I think this is pretty prevalent in the US right? I remember seeing supermarket cashiers just standing around when there are no customers, and there were like 5 registers open at the same time.

We had to make do with one register even on Saturdays, when literally thousands went through the store on a single day, and only open a second one when the queue gets too long. If there were no customers to cash out, we had to clean up and sort shit too, no idle hands, and we considered that normal. Maybe that German work ethic meme is right after all.

Saxony is a great game. You can potentially gain all of Meissen and Thüringen through diplomacy, they have your dynasty. You start an OPM but can become a regional powerhouse through intelligent play, without ever starting an aggressive war.

Already did that, it was getting boring and the fact that Reformation Desire was already at 95% at 1459 was disheartening.

The Castillian Civil War is going on at the campaign's start.

No, the white is the colour of the White Horde, a Mongol splinter state. Uncolonized land in the mod looks like parchment.

I got kicked out of my local college for bad marks. I don't think I'm smart enough for degrees.

I'm guessing he'd just turn the Presidential Standard into the National flag. Looks pretty Imperial too.

have you taken a look at this?

Rate my Europe ;^)

I recognize some of them as being Oliver Cromwell's personal banner, right? I believe HPM took some of its symbolism for the UK's Presidential Dictatorship flag.

Make a full set of Australia-Hungary flags before you leave :^)

>independent armenia
>greece in anatolia
get constantinople back in greek hands and its 10/10

ah yes

yeehaw

Now that the dust of HPM's tragic death has settled, who will become the new major /gsg/ modder for vicky?

Hey, I got an idea, got any ideas for flags for the Toucouler Empire?

(Am I the only one that plays as them?)

Me

...

Pretty sure he did them already, the new ones are on Czech Republic's style as opposed to the vanilla neon shit.

gigau

Hey lad, not sure if you're still here but I got all your Madagascar flags and I think they're pretty good. I'll probably have the civil war for that in Zombiemod next, either that or Millerist, expansionist America.

>play stellaris
>take all the nearby planets that I can
>run out of room
>nothing happens
>alt f4

What exactly is wrong with hoi4 other than arrows?

African collapse when

Later on, I don't even have the 1840 main events yet (Babist Civil War, Madagascar Civil War, Millerist America and subsequent takeover of most of mainland North America), those will come before the African Plague, and then I'll either work on it or work on Cultists if HPM miraculously comes back from the dead.

MP when?
