cute!

Happy birthday mr. Adolf

Any chance I could get an autograph, oh Based One?

Should I wait for MEIOU 2.0 before starting a new EU4 game or no?

I guess

Me right now, lads

>posting muh 6 gorillion kike bullshit as 'history'

>downloading a collection of data with no physical weight is stealing

it wasn't meant to be, i was simply stating the fact that you're mentally incapable of differentiating stealing from copying

good thing based yohan is there to tell you that they're one and the same

>tfw you run out of ideas

>the poorfag desperately tries to assuage himself that is not a thief and a criminal

m-muh johan tho :)

Throwing money away on things you can get for free at the same quality doesn't make you rich, it makes you dumb.

Especially when the recent dlc policy is inexcusable for eu4/ck2, with 200 shekels required if you want the true full game. Not to mention the literally broken cheat dlc that come with missing features and a price tag of 20.

>everybody starts pirating games
>game developers go bankrupt
>no games left to pirate

We're just too cool for that shit

and? sounds fine to me
ill just move onto another medium of entertainment I can get for free

>no more paradox games
A man can dream

If people shit practices go out of business, its no concern of mine.

Moronic submission to the most jewish of trends is what lead video games to the shitpile that it is now and paradox shelving out dlc made in 20 workhours for 20 euros.

hi rebbit!

Next time I'll just clean out my pucci for them I guess.

s-send nubian godess pls

Since they are the same culture, should a Ternate/Tidore playthrough see you vassalize the other and let them colonize? Or will a vassal not colonize?

I want to do some new world colonizing with a nation that usually doesn't colonize in EU4. That means no Britain, Spain, Portugal, France, etc.

What would be a cool nation to ditch European politics with?

Serbia

le knights

Tall colonist Prussia is maximum comfy. They kind of fucked up the East/West Prussia regions in one of the recent updates, but still you want to sell Neumark via event and only hold your starter holdings. Join HRE for safety and No CB into Ireland then colonize as normal. Have a stack searching for the 7 cities and establish your main colony in Mexico for that gold. Bring Prussian discipline to the Aztecs and Mayans.

Game is maximum comfy

Norway or Sweden and claim what is yours by right of the Kensington Runestone!

I'm doing Hamburg rn
Most beautiful color in the whole game desu

Oh I forgot, control the East coast node and put your trade capital in Bermuda, then steer all the trade there and collect to cuck europe out of it.

Why the hell is Palembang uncolonised in 1444? Bengkulu being empty in 1444 makes sense, but Palembang was an independent city-state that, following the Zheng He missions in the early 1400s, paid tribute to Ming.

write to Johan

Why Bengkulu is empty tho?

You should try playing as hansa.

Here is a mod
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=893435099&searchtext=hansa

I might do a hansa-run with this myself at some point.

How would I get close enough to do early colonizing? Just try and grab an Irish province early on? Or is the Hansa close enough for me to wait a diplo tech or two?

This is really clever. I can't believe I haven't thought of doing it that way and I've played EU4 since release. Doesn't Bermuda become part of a colonial nation?

...

No idea desu. I think you must wait a couple of dip techs ahead before you can reach the new world by normal means. But I would try to get in a war with portugal and take one of the islands. For example by allying France early on.

I did a norway run and I no-cb dowed portugal because they suddenly had no allies. I basically became a Norwegian portugal. It was pretty nice.

Nope, it is in the node but not part of the colonial nation. I actually fucked it up in my playthrough because I got too focused on Mexico and didn't notice France rush in all around the colony I had there.
Game is super comfy though. You rarely have wars at home and just explore the new world with your super soldiers, and develop Prussia into a tiny powerhouse with all your aztec gold.

I'm No cb declared on East Frisia, rushed diptech 7 and exploration, no cb declared on Jolof and had their Trarza in my colonial range

>1945 – World War II: Führerbunker: Adolf Hitler makes his last trip to the surface to award Iron Crosses to boy soldiers of the Hitler Youth.

Depressing as fuck. Giving medals to kids who are all going to die so they keep fighting for you.

Hitler should of gone out like a man on the frontline alongside his boy soldiers.

Is it better to encourage burocrats or atract inmigrants in your countries in Vicky 2?

burocrats
then build liquor factorys and then let the game run
screencap that groBfrancosiums and waggle it with you napoleonis

Bengkulu was just a bunch of decentralised villages around that time. A proper city wasn't established until the 1600s.

Meanwhile, Palembang is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the Indonesian archipelago (est. 600AD), and was once the capital of the Srivijaya Empire.

On that note.
I've painted up a 'fall of Berlin' german army and in it I have a Hitler figure which will lead the army.

>tall
>colonist

Yeah, tall in the sense that you only hold like 12 provinces yourself.

I tried going for an early no CB war against one of the Irish OPMs. However, I couldn't just take the province since I couldn't core it so I made them a vassal, and now it seems I can't even diplo-annex the, since I have no neighboring provinces.

This is really harshing my mellow. Anyone got a solution?

Dark world is a gift that keeps on giving.

If autists on loverslabs will keep working on it, it will easily dwarf prime steppewolf in "autistic wacky happenings" department.

>SEXUAL_CRUSADE

Are Burgundys vassals and personal unions included in the inheritance?

I don't care if I'm a criminal, but I'm factually not a thief. Not on this instance anyway.

yes

Looks like plans are changed a bit, Russians first, since they backed the brits in a crisis (Scottish freedom) and i will be allied, of all the countries, with Germany in this one.

>socialist again
At least my pops will assimilate.

Ah, allright, but since the PU´s are in the HRE the emperor gets them, right? France would only get the vassal?

What did they mean by this?

>Russians
>STILL no gas masks

Looks like they are slow learners. This will be a quick one i believe.

Which game better simulates the First World War: Victoria 2, or Darkest Hour?

battlefield

pls respond
is Serbia just not destined for greatness in the new world?

Does HIP or Vanilla CK2 have the best Persia flag?

the one that inherits burgundy gets the PU's too doesn't matter if they are emperor or not
not sure about france though

>1446, get PU over Castille
>1447, Burgundy is split between me and me

THIS GAME IS NUTS. Too bad it's not Ironman.

Victoria's 2 combat doesn't transition to early 20th century, it plays too much like EU. Even Vicky 1 does a better job at it.
So DH.
