Fuck you

WHITE & BASED

In Victoria 2 why would I ever choose to conquer uncivs over other European powers? If I play say France, why not just expand into Spain? The land is infinitely more developed, more population, and the provinces won't be colonies. Especially early on when the infamy for taking states from uncivs and civs is basically the same.

Is it just pretty borders?

I'm fully updated on eu4 and have all the dlc in the dlc folder. however the new shit isn't showing up (mandate of heaven). is there an activator I need to use? if so where do I get it

white

>however, one small Greek peninsula still remains unconquered by syndicalist scum

People get autistic over blobbing yes, also you'll get rebels

>jungle gook IQ

The main reasons, outside of rp autism, would be rebels, Badboy and risk of Great war, or simply strong alliances. It takes next to no effort to fuck up some far off nigger, while fighting spain is considerably more challenging. That's the idea at any rate, AI doesn't always provide a good enough challenge to make it true.

First time as France, first EU4 game. How do I trigger the inheritance?

luck stat is rolled everytime you make a new iron man, if it isn't above half maximum it wont trigger

your ruler has to die

because of reasons IRL - strong alliances and you'll trigger the rest of the nations into fighting you since you'll look like the aggressor
that's why everyone went to blob into colonies and Africa

>first EU4 game
>at the worst time possible

you're late kiddo, this game is now a bunch of dissonent mechanics clamped together and PC event chains

No. Look at this fucking cuck.

Why no Albania? Honest question.

Is there any downside to enacting conscription laws in hoi3?

What kind of name is Otgotz

The name of a cosplaying kraut trying to please a man in a funny hat who derives his authority from a falsified document.

You could make a case for northern Albania and Skadar to be included but not the rest. It's just a meme map for bantz.

Imagine how autistic serbs would be if they actually built a global empire.

Well, this is interesting

help

The Serbinarized Japs would balance them out. Or they would enter a spiral of autism that would destroy the world.

Hmm...

so are paradox content to just sit around jerking off doing nothing while ck2 is a fucking mess, all of the mods are broken, and they keep taking holidays and not communicating what theyre doing in any form whatsoever????

Lads what should my goals as Brazil in HPM be? I'm def thinking of taking Guyana, but what else?

how to cure myself from autism?

Yeah, except sometimes the alliances aren't that strong. I'm not blobbing at the moment, but I just beat Spain and took a single province colony in Africa for 6 infamy, instead of an entire chunk of their country for 11 infamy.

fuck chinks

which one of you was this?

How do I get gud with industry in Victoria 2?

I finally turn supernatural events back on and this is what the game gives me?

For fuck's sake I married a chaste woman to avoid this shit.

W&B

Just learn what industries tend to be profitable (liquor, electric gear etc) and try to build them so they synergize well with RGOs

Sometimes, this game can be fucking stupid.

roleplaying as your wife's bull I see

Is Stellaris worth $12. It is in the next humble monthly.

Also can you pirate the DLC for Stellaris like you can the rest of the paradox games?

>send it to the church
hehe

Oh vey you gotta support the shopkeepers

literally wrong thread

Reminder to report Stellaris posts

Explain to me how this is possible.

>This arrives after 1550, in a province in the capital area of its owner with the province being either Protestant, Reformed, or in one of the German regions.

Depends on the opportunity cost of that 12 dollars. I found it somewhat fun and you can pirate the dlc the same way.

Also, stellaris is discussed in another general.

believable worlds

What general is that in?

I really only browse /gsg/ not sure how I feel about browsing a whole 2 generals

>>>/civ4xg/

There's a search function, mate.
It's civ4xg

I can't.
Looking at the file it shouldn't be possible.
Capitol or 15 development, but the other condition doesn't work.


>OR = {
> religion = protestant
> religion = reformed
> region = north_german_region
> region = south_german_region
> }

I assume that province wasn't Reformed or Protestant 45 years ago?


You're playing with mods though, so maybe that

Why are paradox games so expensive?

Why can't I declare wars in DH even tho I'm a dictatorship? I thought that beligerance mattered if you're democracy

Are there any chinese specific events that might create printing press?
I'm not using any mods other than map mod and CK2 HIP conversion but that doesn't even touch asia, just europe and americas.

It was not reformed or converted.

It's white, based and holy.

You might have NAPs or aren't totalitarian enough.

>CK2 HIP conversion
probably it, iirc some guy used that and had the renaissance spawn in mecca.

That's not surprising, since tech for that part of the world converts.

China though, i don't get it.

because of the dlcs

Well holy shit.

The Arabian Empire has exploded into like 6 tiny realms and 2 medium realms.
I was happy being king of Arabia but now the game is offering me Persia, Mesopotamia, Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, and Nubia.
If I win all of these wars I gain control of 28 new counties, can form 2 new kingdoms, and can crown myself emperor.
This does however require me to fight 8 wars at once and win all of them.

What do you think? Patience or full aggro?

holy crap those teeth

does EU's "free"""" healthcare not cover dental? lol

playing as Brazil trying to declare on SA minors, so no NAPs

so to be more totalitarian I've to put the slider on full authoritarian?

I assume the ck2 hip conversion affects the institution files, so it changes the okay areas for renaissance(so not just italy), and it changes the okay areas for printing press(not just germany)

it costs money for dental service

It's partly true that it was sometimes too easy to just walk over anyone that wasn't European in EU3.

However, EU4 is WAY farther from reality than EU3 was.

In EU4 African and American natives will modernize very quickly from the moment they touch Europeans since insitututions spread like AIDS in Zimbabwe. So basically in Johan's vision of history, Indians will basically become reneissance men in one fucking generation.

And even before they meet Europeans they won't be so far behind in tech. I've seen natives in early 16h century already with artillery and level 2 forts before they had met any European nation. Same thing happens in Africa.

The game SHOULD reflect that it wasn't that easy to defeat the natives and create colonies, but not through the natives inventing fucking gunpowder on their own. They shouldn't even be able to field anything but shit tier infantry until they westernize, which is how it was in EU3.

british dentistry you know

i hear tpb has paradox games on a 100% sale

why hasn't yuros pushed for dental work to be covered in your universal healthcare plan? don't they care about dental hygenes?

Do immortal characters convert over to EU4?

um no that's STEALING sweetie ;)

Take red to fix your borders, and pink if you can to expand your realm

why are you playing as black non-christian?

not w&b at all

Well, the Crusades are here and Norway is the first one hit. Should I try for conquering England or just move to Mauretania?

convert to christiandom
