They literally do nothing. For some reason I am still astounded by Paradox laziness and lies.

La Plata

Meh, CK+/HIP will fix it.

Is this an accurate review of M&M?

Are there mods to fix any of it? Is it even worth a pirate?

see

>just let the mods fix it
Official Paradox policy for a while now.

>Another ASOIAF mod

>what is the good catholic king Louis supporting the Protestant league and subsiding the rapists army
>what is The Unholy Alliance

Playing monks and mystics, I'm a Satanist and I've just got the mission to sacrifice a ruler, how do I got about doing this as I can't abduct rulers it seems

Rip in reeses pieces

Why

Can someone explain to me why are rebels retardedly strong?

This is with a fully maintained army, full quality AND offensive ideas with more troops, better troops, a better general and no terrain penalty.

This one is set in a different era and has a multiplayer focus.

save scum, do the same battle again and check the stats in the battle screen

I've never played Kaiserreich, how is it "supposed" to go? Is the France Commune supposed to be like WW2 Germany?

>1000 cavalry
>lower shock

I think it's pretty obvious, you got steamrolled in the shock phases.

Play it as a minor or unaffiliated major and see for yourself. It's an amazing mod and goes differently every time. I recommend Japan, Austria, maybe Russia.

Your army composition sucks. You're ideally supposed to have 1:1 infantry/artillery and about 4k cavalry +- 1k. This is in reality very fucking expensive but you should still have at least a 1 to 0.75 ratio of infantry to arty.

Genuinely good opinion even though it looks to be from paradoxplaza.
There is literally no good reason for Satanists to have magical powers when no other gods do.

Thanks m8. When does it end, 1962 or whatever the default end date of DH is?

Is there like a cold war of some sort or once WW2 is over is it better to just stop playing?

I feel like it is worth repeating what has already been said and saying that your army comp is shit. Why do you only have one unit of cavalry?

>1:1 infantry/artillery
that's expensive as fuck tho...

Depends on the outcome. In my last Russia campaign, I had declared war on Germany through an event chain during WW2. Ended up partitioning the continent between Totalists (West) and Capitalists (East), which lead to a cool cold war scenario as I had to build up against the Socialist powers, and ended in a nuclear war over the continent.

Who here dark lord

He never said it wasn't.
I find it better to have fewer armies but well formed with Arty than many with high infantry comp.

Not me, faggot.

Anyone have this tool and wouldn't mind sharing? My game is (((((non-Steam))))).

What? I have all DLCs but not that.

>Not having near 40 intrigue so you can kill anyone

I have them all too. It's a third-party mod made by some user on the Paradox forums. Gotta have a registered game copy to download it.

Pop demand mod actually makes the game playable. You cant make a single argument for why HPM over PDM.

>not being Jesus 2.0

the popular one already features pretty much every interesting bookmark there is in the setting and could easily be adapted for a more mp centric experience

youtube.com/watch?v=WBOD8qeCBuc

>Slavic Jesus

I'd rather not

Why not?

Red Alert mod for HoI when?

openload dot co/f/PnxemIdV6q0/PortraitBuilder-2.0.0.zip

Found this one but it's pretty outdated, gonna keep looking.

I just don't like the picture of Jesus squatting in an addias tracksuit on the corner of some street with half a bottle of vodka in his grips and a half empty 2 litre bottle of cheap cider at his feat.

What to do now?

This one is more focused (on Westeros), have more provinces, actually looks like it has a better map and is set during the Andal Invasion, which is like a few thousand years before the ASOIAF mod. That being said, I agree that it's probably a huge waste of time.

Because a brown jew is better?

Anyone have their own tweaks for MM?

I'm using 'choose attires' and 'nerfed satanists'.

No but I can at least picture a brown person carrying his own cross and a jew wearing a crown be it of thorns or gold

>Tfw brainwashed Americucks still believe this lie
He's called the White Christ for a reason, kiddo

Yes because at least brown jews are still human.

I'm messing around with the Satanist stuff, it's kinda fun, but I imagine I'll switch it off for most of my games.

If I reform a pagan faith, do I get all the options my satanism has? Taint touch and all?

But atleast we have epik Satantic cults and teh Vikings!!!

Fuck M&M and fuck HOI4, let's LARP up the ol' EU4

Nation background RP:
>Christians get mass-expelled from the Middle East, and in an agreement with other surrounding muslim nation, are allowed to create their small independent neutral city of Babylon, forming a separate Chaldean Christianity

Nation rules and goals:
>Remain one province at all times (except for a temporary annexation to form a client state)
>Remain Chaldean
>Vassals MUST be Chaldean as well (which includes actually having them convert the provinces)
>Goal is to vassalize everything in the region and manage to hold it with a single province (hence the force limit ideas)
>Optional goals are to reach at least 100 development of the province by leeching development from vassals and to expel muslims from the ME and Anatolia

though to be fair the cities the event mentions are all under their control. After all comrade india is just a geographic abstraction.

good luck
pls keep us updated

Why Babylon?

MOUAT 2.0 WHEN

Do Jewish Mahoza instead lad

I have, the rest are just provinces that had Entente troups in them after the annexation of Delhi. They have been removed already and we are building a nice anarcho-syndicalist market socialism meme.

>Duke in the HRE
>Fellow Duke tries to convert me to Satanist Cult
>Decide not to turn my back on God
>literally can't do ANYTHING with the information that he's a Satanist

H-here we go I don't even have a fort yet

>find lady death
>win
>just 2.0 bonus health

>I invite literally everyone to the cult
>even the liege and the pope
>nothing happens

what about the southern tip?

No events about them just yet.
Travancore-Cochin is a puppet state, they'll probably ascend to the union soon enough.

But other than that, Madras is a rump state. They will be taken if no event comes up.

hey goy

where can i get eu4 dlc

the cs.rin link is incomplete, missing half of the dlc

This is such a lazy fucking expansion

Said Duke is slated to become the next Emperor too.

>be magus for YEARS
>tens of thousands of esoteric power
>no more children to make horoscope
>scrying is useless

literally nothing to do and I keep being spammed with the SAME MISSIONS every year

We don't tolerate piracy here, plebbitor.

what is the hardest country to play in KR?

Guess this is next instead.

Germany.

Oh, that's just great, the Sunni minority managed to somehow become the majority. Have to convert them asap before they revolt

Why some chacters do not have the old age portrait? They are all Anglo-saxons. I found severals 60+ anglos still with middle age portraits.

Guinea.

What game?

They didn't even finish the Hermetic Society before release

forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/where-is-the-alchemy-and-experimenting-with-medicines-in-hermetic-society-that-was-advertised.1003840/

That reminds me that I still need to do a Persia game in M&T. Too bad it's full of fucking mountains. Muh communication.

Kaiserreich mod for darkest hour.

Is there a definitive tier-list for CKII DLC? I only have Legacy of Rome and Sword of Islam right now. Would I be better off just buying all the expansions?

>There is literally no good reason for Satanists to have magical powers when no other gods do.
other than it being historically accurate?
sure

Just torrent all of them

>buying paradox games
>buying paradox dlc

Greatest ally keeping the H*rde busy

Just go with all autonomy reduction ideas you can manage to get, works perfectly

it would be cool if you "migrated"(conquer province , release the other) to any christian holy land like sinai or jewrusalem.

Truly the whitest and basedest

That's actually quite a smart idea to play as a Jewish tribe that gets "expelled" from the ME and moves towards Europe. Probably gonna play that in my next LARP

All religions were supposed to have a secret cult but a lot of them don't because they didn't had the time to do it for all.
Also gnostic heresies were one of the features announced but they edited the description of the DLC on both steam and their website :^)

And i was about to start campaing. Fuck this shit.

>Also gnostic heresies were one of the features announced but they edited the description of the DLC on both steam and their website :^)
Bravo, Paradox.

Secretly following a religion is literally just a trait that says you secretly follow them. I haven't found a single in game effect except being able to join that religion's societies. Your children don't even have a good chance of inheriting the trait.

based , can you do Client states right away or do you need to reach a higher tech ?

>be leader of society
>you can't issue missions, only receive

You can litteraly play all the DLCs on a legit steam version without paying for them

Japan has declared war on the recently victorious and stabilising German Empire. Their Chinese puppet state is getting smashed by the AOG already.

Press F to pay respectuu

>both redd it and the forums are shitting on monks and mystics
This is a clear sign of failure of paradox if they are both unhappy with the ck2 dlc when they usually eat the memetacular DLCs.

Ak Koyunlu (currently an annexed nation) has cores within them, I might be able to use this to get my first vassal

Think it was around 25-30 admin or diplo tech, but no, you can't before that

What can you even do as a leader of dominican/benedictine orders?

why does /gsg/ hate Slavs
