Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

>liking the taste of beer
Why? Unless it's one of those faggot drinks it tastes awful. I only drink whiskey because it just tastes of paint stripper and doesn't sting your mouth.

w@laplata

>he drinks All American
>he doesn't embrace his european ancestry, the good side of course

South american are all niggers, and R&I and Laplata poster are south american

Are you Muslim?

Are Arabs based and white?

W&B

Yes.

>implying
I'm ANGLO, you continentals can fuck off with your terrible tasting drinks that you need 8 pints of to get you tipsy.

>Saudi Arabians
>arabs
I bet you think Turks are arabs too. Fucking american

7 picks who I play as and what my goals are in eu4

Reminder to pick best government in Vicky 2

youtube.com/watch?v=cE6XKgjPNHE

Has anyone actually tried this in Vic2? I don't think I have ever done it before.

uninstall

Bait or retardation?

>he doesnt sit his ass into a big tulpa glass of strong Belgian abby dark beer.

uninstall

>trying to tempt me with stronger beers that just taste worse and STILL don't get you drunk as quick as whiskey
smdhtbvqh lad

Try a Belgian dark and tell me it tastes bad.
That shit is fucking godlike.

Never have and never will. All the beer I've ever drunk tastes fucking foul and doesn't even get you near drunk. Second only to white wine in repulsiveness and pointlessness.

What are the best ideas for Naples? Can´t really expand in eurpoe due to coalition. Currently expanding into Tunis, is Religious a good idea?

This and also a reminder for /pol/tards to stay in their containment board and not ruin this thread like you did the last one.

You're British. Of course all the beer you've ever drunk tasted foul.

I personally quite enjoy drinking whiskey.

>not starting with colonization immediately
Its not like you cannot deus vult muslims with a Crusade.

I just don't see the point of drinking it, if it made you drunk then it would be tolerable but it's essentially just vinegar.

>Deus Vult
I fucked over the Pope to grab some land, I doubt that i can ask for a crusade now. Where should I colonize ask Tunis anyway? Isn´t the colonial range a bit to small to reach America?

*as Naples anyway?

Theres a province in west africa that will give you a jump to Americas and unlike EU3 ai is pretty slow to colonize properly.

I quite enjoy the taste of certain beer. I don't drink to get drunk usually.

Nor do I drink usually. Bad macros.

Who do I play and what are my goals in EU4?

Rum with fruit in is usally really nice, but that's not beer and is a poof drink.

>>>/paradoxplaza/

West Africa? I have Naples and the Tunis node, I assume that´s enough to reach it or do I have to conquer some place near Marocco for that?

Excuse the dumb questions, never played the colonization game all that much.

Just drink what you like mate. If anyone calls you a girl for drinking fruity shit make him regret throwing that shit around.

COCKtails are expensive and calorific, sweetie, a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips.

*beats u up for drinking fruity shit*

austria

get from 1445 to 1700 without ever being at peace or taking a province in a war. win the league war for the protestants.

I'm English but Norman fuck you savages Stella Artois and local beers are always good, Corona is far too variable though. You drink beer and wine to be sociable, you do shots to get your stomach pumped and ass wiped

Is there any way to become a merchant republic from feudal in ck2

Anyone can jump to New World with it.
Also South America should be reachable ,just check the numbers with your 20% colonial range minister.
Its like you dont even want permanent El Dorado bonuses.

Start as England, release Normandy, claim all ancestral lands

How practical is it to reclaim the ancient Finnish Empire in Victoria 2?

You need to be Papal controller to declare crusade, that's it

>I'm English
I'm not at all surprised a disproportionate number of grand strategy players are ewige anglos.
>implying any normans actually migrated here
hmm
>Stella Artois and local beers are always good,
Yeah, if you like drinking piss.
>You drink beer and wine to be sociable, you do shots to get your stomach pumped and ass wiped
You can sip whiskey, you know?

Should I go Zoroastrian for the memes or stay shia?

What is the smart thing here to do? I can´t take any province without capturing the fort first. Thing is they have still lot of manpower while Im at 0 and mercenaries are killing my economy.

>You can sip whiskey, you know?

it's an anglo

Zoroastrian unless you're a cuck

>gudda gedda chug life breh
YANKS OUT

>0 loans
>killing my economy

just siege it down m8. hire some more mercs. tell your nobles to send more peasants

how did you manage that fampai

zoroastrian is pro sister-fucking

Hard drinks are fundamentally American because of prohibition and storing a small amount easily. Maybe we just socialise different because I'm upper middle class and centre of right rather than whatever you plebeian are.
>normans migrate
Literally have the family tree in the family home taking us back to lords in Normandy
The disproportionately of englishmen is probably the ability to wish to paint Africa British red, but also a strategy to it due to the higher IQ than our rebellious sons

yankees are also anglo you inbred fuck

Well, you could pretty easily do it as Russia.
Make a minimod with a Finno-Russian state with Finnish as the primary culture or something.

That was fast, Castille.

>being taken seriously
>when the Persian empire
It's like Russia claiming to be third Rome when Slavic pagan
He's an Anglo replying to an Anglo, but don't have African genes from being an octaroon like amerifats

>yankees
>anglo
Pick one
>aussies
>anglo
Pick two
If they were true Anglos they wouldn't have rebelled over a 1% tax

>I'm upper middle class
>the family tree in the family home taking us back to lords
>middle class
>lord
Wew

I was scared for a second but my ruler proved to me really good general and we won another fight even though we were outnumbered and got penalty. Im kinda afraid of coalition that might come up against me but I have two years of truce to get ready. Hopefully manpower edicts will help

English reformation was a mistake for my family

hey lads

>unironically using edicts
>being scared about coalitions
Just uninstall.exe man, this clearly isn't the game for you if you stumble into hurdles

Remove your king from being a General to stop him dying

>Hard drinks are fundamentally American
Cocktail culture is, anyway. Almost every culture, certainly every European culture, drinks spirits of some kind, but they are often limited to one or two specific indigenous drinks that are consumed straight (whiskey, ouzo, vodka, soju, etc.).

In America you are much more likely to see people drinking mixed drinks based on any one (sometimes more than one) of the dozens of spirits that constitute a "full bar." Whereas in Europe if you ask for a martini, you are more likely to get an aperitif of Martini & Rossi brand vermouth than James Bond's signature cocktail.

>Hard drinks are fundamentally American because of prohibition and storing a small amount easily.
Lad, we have a long tradition of whiskey due to the subjugation of the Scots. Besides, Yanks mainly drink shite like bud light and other shitty beers.
>Maybe we just socialise different because I'm upper middle class and centre of right rather than whatever you plebeian are.
POSHOS OUT
I bet you think mummy may is based, right? She unironically advocated how our diversity was a virtue in her party political broadcast.
lower to middle middle class and national socialist tbvqh
>Literally have the family tree in the family home taking us back to lords in Normandy
What a fucking ponce. I bet you own horses.
>The disproportionately of englishmen is probably the ability to wish to paint Africa British red, but also a strategy to it due to the higher IQ than our rebellious sons
Like these other poor devils in China, India, or Japan, a great new field for sweatshops to be opened up, dimplified rationalised machinery, with a few white surveyors. Is that to be expected of Britain and of our European brotherhood? So the financial power in one European capital can question the financial power in another, all centered around the city of London, now moved to wall street new york?! And the masses of money and of wealth and of power again and again to exert it's influence in politics until as we see today, it's childish nonsense to say a British government rules Britain, it's nothing to do with a British government! The power of money, and of money alone rules Britain!

>muh melting pot
Americans are mongrels. Thankfully they're mongrels of all white ethnicities, but they're still mongrels.

finally a pop system in eu4 instead of meme development

Either these MEIOUIDF are paid shills or it's one retard spamming it big league.

>no more institutions originating outside of europe
fucking racist

They've been shilling their shit here for a fucking year, an update that never came out

I meant the just hard drink or just 0.00005% alcohol
youtu.be/KdFzMLZAXEM
Personally I was against brexit but wished for a change in the trade deal, and like all was scared by the mass migration of barbarians, Rome cannot be allowed to fall once more.

>white meme
Poor black culture has replaced any native culture so their nationality is a null point if they lost their own culture and traditions
DO we have east India companies

Things are finally starting to look good in my PLC run, as Austria-Hungary sphered me again, so i had a competant ally again.

War i just started is now going even better since Italy and NGF went to war with Russo-French alliance, the same alliance i am at war with Austro-Hungary.

What is this mod supposed to be? Is this "France is divided into 5 countries" thing supposed to be more historical? Is it supposed to be a nerf, or is it supposed to make France more fun to play?

Just what is the purpose of this? The pastebin does not make it clear.

/pol/ tards please don't leave, the unintentional comedy you provide is something I cannot do without.

>DO we have east India companies
they are already a thing in 1,27 you need to control few provinces in India for decision to make one

It's not /pol if my policies are the same as a year ago, and can be summarised as more than 'kill all the wogs with extreme prejudice'

I try stuff (mechanics, but mostly flavor) to ship HPM if he wants it. Some people have asked me to share it.

>Yanks mainly drink shite like bud light and other shitty beers.
20 years ago that was true, but not today. Every store that sells beer has about 500 varieties of which old domestic "lite beers" like bud lite, miller lite, etc. only make up a tiny fraction.

So what is the deal with France?
Is "a collection of substates" a more accurate depiction of the polity of France in 1836? According to what logic?

>1364
Isnt EU4 start date 1444?
Doesnt this mean Age of Discovery lasts alot longer and Venice and Portugal become OP due to that special perk they get?

>It's like Russia claiming to be third Rome when Slavic pagan
What's wrong with that?

STOP FUCKING STOP
I ASK THIS QUESTION AND YOU OVE THE SAME FUCKING ANSWER
THE BRITISH EMPIRE DOD NOT CONTROL INDIA UNTIL the late 18th century, IT WAS A COMPANY OF MEN WHO YES THEY PAID TAXES BUR THEY DID IT FOR THEMSELVESWent to Florida last year and it was the same as before but more patriotic

what part?
So am I :^)

>teutonic order
>great heir, poland refuses the PLC
jackpot
>lose war against pommerania and half of my lands

>muh nrx meme
Yeah, that may look good to you from your literal castle, but think of the poor of this country, you can't honestly consider their lives before the modern period to be equivalent to anything other than rats. Genuine progress is achievable. We were sold faux progress in the form of social justice whilst maintaining the complete capitalist system.

In this country we have enough homes to house the people twice over, yet we still have homelessness, and houses cost more than ever. The average house costs 10 times the annual salary, is this acceptable? I hear yoj evola types beckoning me often, telling me to take the "true redpill", my idea of an idyllic society is not serfs working the fields for foreign kings.

Florida isn't America, it's a third world country.

Their claim comes from being the home of orthodoxy
How it goes
>orthodox is true faith
Russia and then Finland is the successor of Rome
>Anglicanism
England
>Catholicism
HRE to Austria to leichenstein
>Coptic
Assad is secretly Christian, and the successor due to the palmyrene empire
>Lutheran
Rome exists all around us so it really cannot be said that one nation has a monopoly on 'being rome'
>Mormon
McDonald's due to achieving a monopoly on the American market

Is it more aesthetic to form a custom kingdom of blobbed duchies or wait to form an actual kingdom when I gain 4 more counties?

How do you lose to slavs, I mean they put the Unter in Untermesnch

t.aasblasted snow bird

Only problem is that hatians but you can just avoid them by not living around Miami or fort Lauderdale.

how do I plan these out? I almost always leave them at default because idk what to do with them

>slavs

>tfw he didnt reply
i wanted an ebin reactionary vs national socialist discussion

>he keeps the socialist in national socialist
Well done for not being a complete skinhead

Not really, there are several periods with benevolent lords, after all why would you abuse your workforce when they vastly outnumber you
How's that federalism going for you
Depends, post map
