Reminder only the brown, genetically subhuman Turks want to become a caliphate. The white, largely European stock want to become a respectable secular country as Atatürk wanted.

why is this general not talking about paradoxcon??????/ i barely see any discussion of it, we could get a new game announcement in that con

CK2 - what menu am I looking for to form duchies/kingdoms? can't find it at all.

How did this link make it into the OP immediately when the other link update caused days of bitching?

Is this mod written by R&I?

>coalition because of AE
>annexed full country in peace deal

Letting the mudshits know who the boss around here is.

>stormfags

Based George V. Second greatest British monarch before Edward VIII.

Replied without comment

click province, check its duchy.

Isn't it pretty much proven that any "Trotskyite Plot" was completely forged by Stalin, though?
also
>Implying that Socialism in One Country wasn't just an interim policy while Stalin industrialized Russia
It would be completely in character to conquer the world as Stalin.

Rate this Gross Hiberniums.

>>Implying that Socialism in One Country wasn't just an interim policy while Stalin industrialized Russia
Yes, that explains why he simply annexed Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary rather than establish them as independent nation states.

>The eastern bloc
>Independent

>independent

>playing before 1066

That likely would've happened if Stalin didn't have to co-operate with the Western Allies

You know what I mean, lads, they weren't SSRs because Stalin had no delusions of internationalism working.

>playing vanilla

But I wanted to play pagan and not instantly get crusaded to death.

No, they weren't SSR's because he wanted to put as much buffer between the USSR and the west as possible.

>implying there's any difference between bordering and having a march

So why is the Great Game still being played?

aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Conquer Iran.

hmmm what

Based. Please keep posting.

What are you going to do from here?

it's an old save, i'll see if i still have it

make islam strong again
make islam proud again
make islam akbar again

i still have it
and isis's description is w&b

>DH
>proper events

Is this /our mod/?

i don't recall getting those african territories

Shit mod, dropped.

it really is

Based Gaddafi.

>coalition war that early

Why are you not abusing vassal release into reconquest wars?

and so begins the formation of the caucasus emirate

>Berberia
>in Tripoli

Makes sense if it's a US puppet state.

Aren't you at war with Russia? If this mod was any good this would make the caucasus into a bloodbath as Muzzies and Rooskies fought in the mountains.
>turkey applies to join the islamic state but chechnya doesn't
Believable worlds.

no
dagestan is the only country allied (puppet) with russia
also, nato consists of just america, france, the uk, and bulgaria
the game crashed as soon as i launched eight missles on the same armenian province by the way, so i'm done now

>the game crashed as soon as i launched eight missles on the same armenian province by the way
Godespeed

It isn't though

>20 or more children
What a madcunt.

Has anyone who's had trouble with the map bug for M&T found a fix for it yet?
Plz

uninstall

>plying before 1066

Plz

Would you recommend playing this for someone who's redpilled on the geopolitical domination of the rothschilds over the middle east?

Neat

cause I'm the eternal turk, hence invincible. ALso, I'm slightly inpatient and I find coalition wars very entertaining.

>vassal release into reconquest wars
What?
You get the same amount of AE for conquering and releasing as vassals.

I started in 1066 you stupid fuck.

>"""PLAYING""" before ten sixty six

>Playing "BEFORE" 1066
Fixed that for you

No, lad, the "before" part isn't in question, the notion of playing the game is.

"Playing" before 1066 is unenjoyable, therefore it is questionable whether it can truly be called "play" as that implies recreation, when there is no recreational value to playing before 1066.

WE WUZ DRUIDS N SHEEIT

Communism.

>Implying there is any recreation to be had at any start date in this game
Lad...

Of all the starts the least likely to have recreatiknal worth is those before 1066, when borders east of the danube are largely fantasy and borders west of the danube are terribly unbalanced.

>Naval tech
>Worth anything

>Implying I wouldn't rather play with fantasy borders than with "believable worlds"

What is the best EU4 mod that isn't related to killing myself or uninstalling the game?

Le fantasy vs believable aside, pre 1066 is just not how CK2 is supposed to be played.

Post 1066 has fully formed kingdoms in Poland, Hungary, France, England, Scotland, these kingdoms you can attempt to diplomatically marry into and form personal unions, without war, which is wha makes this game unique and interesting.

Pre 1066 is just a bunch of illogical and arbitrary blobs caused by a broken gavelkind mechanic tearing Europe apart.

Only retards and plebs play pre 1066.

What is wrong with border gore?

>literally no one will reply to this post

Not until MEIOU and Taxes 2.0 comes out.

reply

It looks bad and is largely ahistorical.

based

you know I meant

>with a legitimate argument pertaining to the question at hand

one is your opinion, and two doesn't even make sense senpai, this game is about diverging from a point in history, not following it through to the letter

>this game is about diverging from a point in history, not following it through to the letter
Why do redditors always use this argument? These games are history simulators, go back to your containment subreddit if you want memes.

Well?

Is she based or not? Give me a quick rundown.

Well I didn't really intend on this, but maybe now I can bully the ERE out of Sicily.

I have no clue about CK2, lad.

For example as the ottomans take AQ and release Syria as a vassal, they have cores on like half of levant you can do the same with persia for a shitload of very low ae land.

It's really only needed if you plan on going for WC or mega blob early.

come home white mna

Who gets the AE in that scenario? Syria?

Gas.

There you go.

white and based

This random Breton count just ate the last Frankish kingdom left in one go while I wasn't looking.

>australian
>2.34mb

Finish ausmod, you cunt.

Reconquest is 25% AE versus Conquest 100% and you don't need to spend so much admin as early.

In my current WC run I was able to annex most of Muslim land without getting a single Coalition. Also you should abuse truces. Just keep cycling truces with all the people around you so they can't even form a coalition. Bascially what I did is hit persia, then go for europe, then egypt, then the steppes and just keep repeating.

anyone got a link for HIP 2.7?

Diverging from history ≠ ignoring realism

Can the surrender of Maine event happen if you are playing as France or did I just get unlucky with it not happening before 1450.
