Croatian fascists have awoken.

Updates when??!!

Platense fascists have awoken.

Piece by piece, I am making Grobdeutschland a reality

British fascists wuz woke.

Here's some pro tips. If you don't want to annex Bohemia, don't annex Poland and just have Austria. If you annex Bohemia, be sure to annex Poland for full Hitler borders. Germanium with Bohemia and Austria but no Poland is absolutely disgusting.

You tell em brudha

I'm not sure if this should be in /gsg/ or /cbg/
>Catan is out on steam with microtransactions

This isn't the board games general, no. This goes to Veeky Forums or a separate general.

What's the general strategy to a run like this? Is it similar with all minors, or does Rhineland have an easier time?
Also, cuck Austria and Prussia more.

>Mugabe
Thanks Nigeria

>microtransactions
It should be in the bin.

based and white

>Mugabe eats giant cake at birthday party in drought zone

This kills the bong

I just realized that that's a reference to God is a Serb

Obviously.
Do you think Croats have a culture?

>muh industry

>not helping the dutch reconquer belgium
Now conquer them both. Small countries are disgusting.

>Small countries are disgusting.
t. blobbing pro

Blobbing was the last option. The best was to Make Netherlands Great Again. Grossnetherlands is not blobbing.

Ok lads, here's my plan

>Finish my conquest of Austria
>Annex Bohemia
>Annex Poland
>Annex Belgium, Limburg, and the Netherlands

How does this sound?

I need to know what is causing my decision to crash. How can I check that?

Add Franche-Comte and its perfect

What really bothered me about Vic2 was default unit names after conquering the city.

It'll be something else other than "1st" infantry or whatever because the game still thinks the previous AI owner still has the infantry out. It's a small thing but it's one of the few things among ugly borders (like the French algeria strip) that makes me lose interest in a game. I think the farthest I got was 1880 before I dropped any game. Same thing with EU3, dropped it usually by 1600.

Has anyone made a grand strategy game yet that does not suffer from ugly borders? I think the only way I can enjoy one now is if it's randomised world like Civ but with grand strategy mechanics basically. I'll probably end up playing only Stellaris once it gets one more expansion or so.

i really want my grand strategy fix without these little obsessive shit bothering me. i swear grand strategy games have pushed me towards autism

OwO what's this?

give me one (1) reason the map I posted is less than perfect you redditors

>Von Wittelsbach Lituania in PU with Denmark.
How worried should I be? Still early game Holland expanding in the HRE. It´s barely 1451.

...

reload nibba

FRANCE

PLEASE

STOP

The borders are what matter, not
>muh Voltaire
you autist

>ukraine
its not geographical region, its literally borderland

The fire rises

The borders include those of a "Holy" "Roman" "Empire" though, so the map is flawed.

Isn´t the areas proper name Ruthenia? It´s missing a few parts though, I think.

That bad? Maybe the go for independence...

just eat the czechs already. that shriveled turd look disgusting.

Just a fancy name for Der Deutches Reich du kasekartoffell

I uninstalled Victoria II for a couple days to keep myself from playing it and now I've reinstalled it. All my mods, saves and settings appear to be unharmed but is there anything in the base game folder that I'll have to replace or is everything of importance really saved in the documents folder?

Post EU 4

I didn't mean current M&T, I mean 2.0. Institutions are broken as fuck in 1.27

ok

>tfw no /gsg/ themed anime

S E N G O K U R A N C E

If I mobilize and demobilize in the same turn, did it have any effect?

...

m-muh LoGH!

literally a better CK2

>anime style
>japan-only

>better
pick one of the two or both on the top or the one on the bottom

Ass far as i remember /v/ translated Rance ages ago.

>japan-only
it's literally not, retard
you think all these recs are for a japanese-only game? Veeky Forums is full of EOPs, most good eroge never gets rec'd on here because it's in moonrunes. Sengoku Rance is one of the exceptions, it's good and translated

>actual lewd scenes
>proper combat
>doesn't expand the map all over the place, lagging the game
>is an actual realistic simulation of japan

>worse

I meant the setting of the game you fucking morons.

In the Western corner, backed by the Papacy and God Himself, it's the King of Ferrara, defender of Jerusalem!

And in the Eastern corner, it's the entire fucking Sunni world again god damn stop trying to take my land you goat fucking heathens

>not enjoying the Sengoku Jidai
how much of a pleb can you be?
it's not strictly japan only anyway

>implying that gook era isnt great setting

Homolust is a big part of classical history, logh did nothing wrong.

There's literally nothing interesting about a bunch of yellow people who look the same. If I conquer the island, who cares? Still the same yellow people anyway.

You fucked with the wrong crusader state

Based.

DRIVE THE MOSSELMAN FROM THE REALM

DRIVE HIM FROM THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

DRIVE THE SARACEN TO BAGHDAD

GIVE NO LEAVE OF MERCY BUT DEATH

unfunny

Except they're not arr rook same yellow people because it's anime. Instead they're white and based.

Also the protagonist Rance is a foreigner. Literally a horny gaijin invading Japan with the stated mission of raping all its beautiful women. If you don't get a semi just from thinking about conquering and raping some foreign land then you definitely aren't white.

THE SARACEN CANNOT EVEN JOIN THEIR OWN JIHADS CORRECTLY

But the setting isn't Japan, is JAPAN, you double nigger.

Fuck is that, Kingdom of Ferrara or something?

AND THEY FIGHT AMONGST THEMSELVES

yes, quick recap

>old gods start
>county of ferrara
>get all the counties in the duchy
>break free from duke, become own duke
>acquire the other two duchies (ancona and spoletto) through court intrigue and shit
>ally with tuscany
>declare independence from Italy while they got ravaged by rebels
>at this point big enough to create a kingdom
>various minor expansions and fun events (this character's grandfather discovered the earth spins 'round the sun)
>become king of jerusalem

forgot pic

> (this character's grandfather discovered the earth spins 'round the sun)

Must be tough being King of Jerusalem descending from a heretic

Whats the difference between HIP crusades and Vanilla crusades?

Here's the Grandfather in question and also a pretty fucking crazy battle

should i get Sengoku Rance and start posting it

You really should get more piety for battles against other religions, at least 200 for that one.

Vanilla crusades have artificial flavoring, HIP crusades are up-to-date with modern youth culture

Do it

hey lads

>matrilineal marriage

You might as well quit if you end up not having a male heir since your lineage is extinct by then.

I'll be here all week

Quick questions for CK2:
If I improve light infantry tech does the upgrade all of my realm's units?
Or is it more limited, like only troops from my own demense?
Also if I build a training grounds in my capital will that affect all the units from that county or just the ones from that specific demense?
And how is this all accounted for when you combine troop stacks?

I ask because I have an extremely upgraded capital with 3 castles and very good technology and I'm wondering if this has all just been a waste of time since I could have been saving up the money to buy more mercenaries for the endless war effort.

You know what to do.
Also i think /v/ even made a "soft" version of it if you actually want to play the game.

there's a mod that includes the whole world desu senpai
only has free for all mode though

Really made me think

I've never felt worse about a fap then when I came buckets to the Kou /ss/ gang rape scene

what dod he mean by this

Cute!
