How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, February 15th:
1493 – While on board the Niña, Christopher Columbus writes an open letter (widely distributed upon his return to Portugal) describing his discoveries and the unexpected items he came across in the New World.
1942 – World War II: Fall of Singapore. Following an assault by Japanese forces, the British General Arthur Percival surrenders. About 80,000 Indian, United Kingdom and Australian soldiers become prisoners of war, the largest surrender of British-led military personnel in history.

FIrst for Willy

How the fuck do you overcome massive British naval forts in DH kaiserreich?

Because I'm thinking I'm just gonna nuke everything to ash.

>no National Populism
plsno

Absolutely based.

MP?

>anarchy-monarchism
So pretty much anarchy in general?

JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY

The only type of anarchy that was tried before and worked.

Tips on what to do as a newbie in CK2?

Overwhelmed!

>implying it wasn't feudalism/proto-reactionism

Yes, it's the same thing.

bump, need answers.

>anarcho-primitivists have won the election
>mandatory demolition of all factories, railroads and ports

Just doomstack CVs, NBs or lure them away, the AI is brain dead

Feudalism was by no means anarchy. There wasn't a state in the modern understanding of the term, but there was still a strict, consistent hierarchy upheld over long periods of time by cultural and religious norms and traditions (As well as levies, militias and orders, of course). Anarchy implies that the "system" in place would allow for new dominant forces to take prominence by pure virtue of being richer/having more military strength/some other qualifier, which is not necessarily the case here.

Play as an OPM next to a couple of other OPM's, blob out into them and use your new demesne to forge a great kingdom

Explain, your strats sound interesting.

Anarchy without hierarchy is how commies view it, which is complete utopia.
Ancaps see anarchy as a system without a state and especially without democracy, so by their definition feudalism would be consistent with anarchy.
I just wanted to meme though, so I don't really care tbqh.

I'm not sure you'd be willing to find many ancaps willing to admit it, but the natural result of radical anarchy is the creation of informal despotic regimes.

Both of them are my allies. Who do I help?

I'm thinking of going for neither

Freeing the Rhineland will prevent Germany from beating the shit out of France and getting OP, for whatever it's worth.

What the hell kind of flag is that

I have most of Europe as an ally except France, but its not like I want any of them to get strong (t. eternal anglo)

Based AFPG made me one.

Germany's fucked, no use trying to save a sunk ship.

What does it represent? UK under control of the house of Brabant?

After building up a massive invasion force, it seems I won't be able to touch Britain until I acquire the ability to atomize them into lumps of glass. So I've decided to invade Brazil due to pent-up sexual frustration after being blueballed by the ETERNAL ango.

What should I name the operation?

Operation Hue

Who dies? I doubt I can make India or Africa Anglo at this point no matter how many of them I kill and I have slavery enabled so it might be good to have African women around for British officers to colonize.

Start one amphibious assault so they move all of their divisions there then start another one somewhere else.

Starting as a viking in 867 makes things a lot easier until you learn your way around.

Done.

Operation t. Alberto Barbarossa

Just the colonies lad, killing white people for nothing was where we went wrong in our timeline.
Inb4 >Irish >white

What else do you have besides in Africa?

Newfoundland, Iceland and Greenland, Northern Territory of Australia and South Africa as states. India, Cape to Cairo Africa and most of Australia and New Zealand as colonies.

How are the graphics in Victoria? They´re the main selling point for me to get that game.

I swear to God there would be no other system other than Democracy in the world if the Jacobians were as uppity in real life as they are in Vicky2

Gas em all I guess, you could get some abos in those states.

It's literally a fucking map m8

Jacobins need to be nerfed and even disabled in certain occasions. I can't imagine a Totalitarian fascist or communist state still getting like a million Jacobins revolting after they've been crushed several times. It just doesn't make sense.

Learned my lesson to only slowly push dem programs aside from health care and some education

ahh...

Budget pro right here. Even my fucking slaves are getting luxury needs.

what are you doing

Literacy, we hardly knew ye

>losing money
Are you memeing me

Sweden cucked me when I let them get Germany's colonies from the massive gangbang on them. They have Johor nationalists now though so I'll annex it right after.

Didn't affect it all for some reason.

For some reason the budget went full red when Germany and KuK were having that war of their's. I have no idea what's up with that.

Also yes Bulgaria I can see this working really well.

Anyway what is a fun country to conquer shit as in NWO? Not blob necessarily

kys

>the problem with being allied with literally everyone

Are we being raided?

If I play as the Netherlands is there any way I can seperate and/or annex Flanders from Belgium?

>Not owning a bit of everything and maxing out tariffs so your pops can max max $ while no taxes

ah yes

>1914
Should've expected this desu

I'll come back for you later Serbia.

Eh, no balance of power lost. I'll have the Balkans in my sphere within 2 years anyway, after I've dismantled gigantic democratic Turkey[/spoiler[

ded general. ded board. ded website.

>I just remembered I'm war leader

Should I do the ol' Anglo double switcheroo?

>Fucking over allies as the Eternal Anglo
Of course

>when your brother kills you in a personal battle and becomes the new chief giving you more levis in the process

Are Guard regiments just better Infantry?

>anarcho anything
get on le cross

No hard feelings eh Serbia... also I can add commie Greece to my sphere. Can I force a regime change on them or am I mixing this up with NWO?

Yes but they're a more expensive. Also I think you can only make Guards out of your primary culture pops.

Seeing as it's on sale, has EU4 been modded/DLCed enough to be more than waiting for mana to tick up to do everything?

Might just get Cities: Skylines instead desu

>be viking
>set up inheritances so the first born is immediately stronger than the brothers
>put everything in place for the firstborn to assassinate the brothers as soon as he's king

After many successful years as a comfy socialist republic, the fucking communists finally managed to overthrow our beautiful democracy.

The new goals from here on out:
>subvert this bullshit dictatorship from within until we get our republic back
>make friends with the FSA
>take GroßCaliforniums from the CSA

>macfag playing as california
poettry

Maybe these guys can pull it off.

It's actually a pretty fun country. My mistake was encouraging too much socialist sympathy in my attempt to get a state capitalist party elected. Had like half my country rise up in commie rebellion.

Ayy thank god.

These ones we exterminate though.

Freedom shall not perish from the west coast!

That's not very tolerant of you.

Who /Syndicalist/ here?

Back in business.

They have to go back.

FUCK YOU CANADA

>All those disagrees

Do people actually think the Ottocucks are fair and balanced?

Can someone tell me how to deal with this militancy situation? I have literally all social reforms and practically all political reforms. The damn socialists are in power, militant socialist retards don't know what they want.

Whoever wins this it's gonna be a fucking mess.

Hopefully I'll be able to dismantle T*rks before someone else does it for me.

Mosley was a populist you fakker.

I like the war names Victoria 2 makes up.

>playing as Bavaria
>have a North German Confederation state in my sphere of influence
>Prussia assert hegemony wars me
>Prussian-Bavarian Brother's War

That time of the year again lads.

>syndicalist

I think I might have found the problem.

All of them.

>it's the Jews
/pol/ was right again.

What mod is this?

>tfw 80% of world oil production

Well this is interesting

KuK had a good run, but it made a huge mistake in declaring war on the entire world and still deciding to defend Turkey when I move to dismantle it.

pls respond
I have no ability to think for myself

Is there any mod for Vicky 2 that lets me claim my rightful Mormon clay?

Preferably better than vanilla does.
