Is there a way to convert eu4 save files to vicky ii?

That feel when your colony has more development than you

ABSOLUTELY BASED!

What´s the general playstyle for Bavaria? I´m planning diplo annexing everything besides Ansbach and Salzburg and of course get Austria as ally as my first steps.

Can anyone post a Heir to Aquitania download kink???

I hope people aren't excited for this. You almost certainly won't be able to conquer the entire world.

Can somebody post a Kaiserreich 0.3 for HoI4 dl link?

>I hope people aren't excited for this. You almost certainly won't be able to conquer the entire world.

Who else here savescums constantly? Sometimes I'll savescum twice a month every month for a few years during an intense war or something.

Feels good cheating.

heh. i will prove you wrong KIDDO.
t. eu4 pro

i like to use the cheat engine table that enables the console in ironman mode.

Feels good being good at the game.

Rate.

how fast will eu4 run with MEIOU if you have a 7700k proccesor?

How does declaring war work in Darkest Hour?

>Play as Brazil because it's a newbie-friendly country that allows you to build up your industry
>See I'm surrounded by difficult terrain, decide that if I want to unite Latin America under my iron fist I need to go for special forces (paratroopers and marines) that can rapidly take VPs while my main army keeps them busy at the front
>Build up, WW2 starts
>Decide I'l just join the Axis because I assumed it'd allow me to declare war on everyone with impunity (like in HoI 3)
>Still can't declare war on my neigbors

So what can I do? I know that increasing an enemy's belligerence through espionage works, but that means throwing a lot of money at a 10% chance of only slightly increasing the enemy's belligerence. I'll be years into the game before I can even declare war on a single enemy.

I must be doing something wrong, considering others before me have used Brazil to conquer Latin America with ease.

based and white

Not confident enough for Iron Man. I basically only savescum. It´s a habit from my days of playing pokemon.

end yourself laddo, save up for an investment property or house with that much cash baka
wait for 2.0, it runs heaps faster

Of course decides to attack me for Straubing just as I decide to get a few more vassals.

*Bohemia

the ottomans are crashing down, what should we do with the remains?

Please respond

Welcome Turkey into the world, let them keep all their territory and blob in the northern Syrian and Iraqi countries.

Post the tooltip senpai

>countries

Bavaria is super comfy.

It is. I´m at my second try right now. Thanks Bohemia. And so far it´s been comfy as hell.

give me a challage to play in ck2.

Play in the Old Gods start, begin as an landlocked OPM in Russia. Your goals:
>Rerform the Slavic or Tengri Faith
>Become a Merchant Republic (meaning you'll need to conquer a coastal province first and make it your capital)
Make sure all of modern day Russia (in as far as it's on the map) remains under your control
Have fun fighting the Mongols.

take Rome as the mongols, reform the Tengri religion, mass convert the italian peninsula

Recreate the German Empire borders with baron of Hohenzollern in 1066 start. And I mean GERMAN Empire, in order to do that you first need to create the titular Kingdom of Germany and then create a custom empire from it.

what now

wait for the dlc that launches in 9 days

What are your endgame goals?

mare nostrum.

>those t*rkish exclaves
Bleh.

now what

>mare
>t. cobra

I was planning on having all of South Germany cored and the rest of the HRE as vassals and or marks.

>Two Sicilies
>Doesn't even own the namesake island
Put them out of their misery.

You guys mind if I dump my solution to fort zone of control in EU4? Tough I'm doing it anyway

>Ok, first of all; zone of control was introduced to prevent defeating an army then following it and stack wiping it when it shattered retreats. This theory follows that design choice.
>So fort zone of control is removed completely, otherwise forts continue to work exactly the same; they return occupied land etc. (there could be a small element of zone of control where if you move onto a fort province you can only move out to the province you entered from, a friendly, neutral with military access or an occupied province)
>Instead of zone of control preventing movement, armies will suffer increasingly larger morale and attrition damage the longer they are out of a friendly, neutral or an occupied province. This means that marching across a country without occupying it will be costly and leave the army vulnerable.
>Secondly, shattered retreat will be altered as well; instead of a defeated army losing all it's morale and retreating as far away as possible (which felt silly and often frustrating) it loses a portion of morale and retreats 2-4 provinces away, gaining a small amount of moral when passing through neutral provinces and a larger amount in friendly or occupied provinces and a bonus if it stops on a friendly or occupied province (the amount of morale regained can be determined by tech and or ideas).

I quess it´s time to restart. Again. One day I get the hang of Bavaria. Maybe I´ll try one of it´s neighbors next.

Is there ever any reason for building CAS in Darkest Hour? TAC are always better throughout the techtree and after 1942 tech even FGT have better ground attack.

Wow I watched this video when he uploaded it so I know what he says but I'll watch it again with you and we can all learn together!

lads fuck BlackICE desu

The Great War is literally 4 times better

It is amazing how much work was done for that mod.

True, even something as irrelevant as Bulgaria has this

>All this new stuff for historical accuracy
>still uses mana
kek

so I'm not really planning on taking anything during the Scramble, would be too blobby

mana is much less used in m&t 2 than in eu4
ex:pops instead of development
stability can not be increased

What version is After The End running on? I tried running it on the latest with all DLC and it crashed halfway through loading.

;3

This seems like a nice mod, might actually give a shit about EU4 after this comes out

Lads, I'm about to take land from India. Bahmanis had become very big, so I was forced to take an ally with me to war.

Good job lad.

Does this mod make HoI 4 less shit? It makes sense. I mean, the big problem HoI 4 has is that it utterly fails to properly depict the importance of tank warfare. In WW1 that doesn't matter because tanks come in late and are quite primitive.

>FIT FOR CK2 V.2.6 & REAPER'S DUE
Copied from Paradox forums.

Just started playing it and I unironically believe that HOI4 was accidentally designed for the First World War. The mod fits it perfectly

Works for me btw. :)

Just browsed some of the comments in a thread on r/hoi4 and I want to kill myself, it's full of naive teenage commies.

>inb4 back2reddit
I wanted to get more info on the new Kaiserraich update and it was the easiest way to do it. Sue me.

Speaking of which, how are your playthroughs going? Has anyone tried any of the Latin American countries yet that received a new focus tree? Playing as Sweden at the moment, and its unbelieveably comfy.

Wow.
