Play flavormod
If you say yes I'll release the next version early

i wish but no it's clearly colonisation (see)

Alright lads, what county should I play in EU?

I'm not that great at the game, but I do something fun and is a bit of a challenge. Ideally I'd like to experience some of the DLC's new shit.

I've played a England game which was fun but I'm looking for something else now. Ideally in Europe though

czech em
Portugal, save the med from the turk, carthago nova

Korea is not that hard and kinda fun

k lads

I'm tempted to do Portugal but I always play them, I tend to play like 3 games non-Portugal and then a portugal game. I'm always so drawn to them. I'm going to try hold off on them

poland

winrar, Exploration ideas?

play them, the age mechanics make them fun again, now you can get to japan before it's unified

t. Alberto Barbosa

Personally I think expansion would work better for ~Oman, but Exploration if you want to be gamey
MoH added some new music and it's just static in my headphone

As tribal Catholic Scots do I need ships on the coast of wherever I'm attempting to raid to actually start the process? Nothing seems to be happening when I'm trying to raid the Orkney's and the Isle of Man with levies on foot.

I was thinking expansion for the extra merchant and trade power, but I really need my admin points right now.

>spend months making a sex mod for CK2
>only thing left to do is let you rape women after winning a siege or battle led by female commander
>Monks and Mystics comes out
>delete everything
Fuck Monks and Mystics for changing the game so much

Ming

Where is that mod that adds a ton of shit to HPM?

Pic unrelated

It's been a while since I've play ck2 but you can only raid provinces that are next to yours as a tribal nation, and unless you are norse or berber you cannot use boats to raid.

>the age mechanics make them fun again
Not him, but colonization in general with the +3 dev for colonized provinces during the age of exploration is pretty neat.
Makes me wanna play a colonial game, thinking about colonizing eastern america as portugal, get their two splendor things for colonization.
Then when the age of exploration is over I'd play as the colonial nation and later on form the usa.

Maybe cheeze it real bad and have france blob over Louisiana first and then form the USA for the 1000 ducat purchase event.

Better than playing about an hour of a major, realizing it's too easy and going back to good old Byzantium for the nth time removing the Turk, because they're the only non-arab able to fuck them out of existence that early.

Is playing with lucky nations disabled considered cheating? EU4

for what reason.

naeh, play with them on, off or random.

How long do I have to colonise the philipines and east indies?

Waiting around to be elected is boring desu so I restarted as opposition leading the country and immediately did this

oh boy..

Click a province, open the institution window, hover over the monthly change and see what actually affects the spread

>that jew in the corner
why

All are things about neighbours, so mana invest it is for me

And still you didn't share it with us. For shame.

Wow they really did think about the code of this game.

he is the one pulling the strings
(aka basically the tutorial advice kinda guy)

>Yearly spreads per developments
Spread reason Base percentage
Port or Capital of a Colonial nation whose overlord has embraced Colonialism. 5.0
Has embraced Colonialism. 2.0
Present in friendly nearby province. 1.2
Port while present in non-friendly neighbor port. 0.5

>Yearly spreads
Spread reason Base percentage
Port or Capital of an old world country that has colonial subjects in the New World (North or South America). 10

woah.,... sengoku... what a valiant cause for war

Just banned the Socialist party and sent the police to arrest it's leader, now all my roads are being blocked but no fear, the military has been sent in.

What is the war like in this game

Second idea group fro shizhamzu already got exploration

If you kill your enemies, they win

yes.

>Implying international law has any say in the United Kingdom

>my brother is being invaded by savage pagan Irishmen
>I have twice his men standing by
>Won´t accept an alliance because of "political concerns"

Lads, which one should I pick?

that special mechanic is probably reserved only for canada and germany

good job lad, now kick the golliwogs out

>20% approval rating
>Protests and riots by nignogs
Y-you're not going to let that continue, right?

game?

:^)

end your life, kraut charlatan

Which ideas should I pick as Shimazu going into japan, already got exploration

Schlecht!

So how the fuck are you supposed to take China if this is all you can get every 25 years?

get more absolutism

tell the EU to fuck off

;^)

I can't understand this shit, do I have 0 absolutism or 95?

You´re not. Paradox has no idea how Chinese politics work

I haven't played during Age of Absolutism, but you quite obviously have a Max of 95, while you have 0 actual absolutism.
Stop increasing Autonomy.

he mispelled it, he meant you need more autism

what the hell is my liege doing
>tfw I took the Pisa count start thinking it'll be easy
>liege only keeps getting more and more powerful

It's the norm now for Lombardy to not die and expand into Africa, whilst the franks do nothing so it's just a merry go round with the Muslims who never break now because decadence is too hard

is steel divison gs? a wargame?

At the start of 1626 the horde state of Oirat, one of out many tributaries, decided to politely request we return land that they feel is rightly their's, we chose not even to respond to the rambling, as there is no Question that Ulaangom is, was, and always will be Chinese.
