How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history,May 5th: 1215 – Rebel barons renounce their allegiance to King John of England — part of a chain of events leading to the signing of the Magna Carta. 1260 – Kublai Khan becomes ruler of the Mongol Empire. 1494 – Christopher Columbus lands on the island of Jamaica and claims it for Spain. 1640 – King Charles I of England dissolves the Short Parliament. 1762 – Russia and Prussia sign the Treaty of St. Petersburg. 1811 – In the second day of fighting at the Peninsular War Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro the French army, under Marshall André Masséna, drive in the Duke of Wellington's overextended right flank, but French frontal assaults fail to take the town of Fuentes de Oñoro and the Anglo-Portuguese army holds the field at the end of the day.
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?

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?
Jaxson Lee
luck stat is rolled everytime you make a new iron man, if it isn't above half maximum it wont trigger
Noah Nelson
your ruler has to die
Austin Peterson
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

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.

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?
Tyler Baker

Reminder to report Stellaris posts
Nicholas Harris
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.
Carter Sullivan
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.
Alexander Reyes

What general is that in?
I really only browse /gsg/ not sure how I feel about browsing a whole 2 generals

Joshua Johnson
I can't. Looking at the file it shouldn't be possible. Capitol or 15 development, but the other condition doesn't work.
I assume that province wasn't Reformed or Protestant 45 years ago?
You're playing with mods though, so maybe that

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.
Michael Nguyen
It's white, based and holy.
Tyler Green
You might have NAPs or aren't totalitarian enough.
Jonathan Lee
>CK2 HIP conversion probably it, iirc some guy used that and had the renaissance spawn in mecca.
Noah Gray
That's not surprising, since tech for that part of the world converts.
China though, i don't get it.
Noah Morgan
because of the dlcs
Jose Jackson
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?
Christian Roberts
holy crap those teeth
does EU's "free"""" healthcare not cover dental? lol
Sebastian Lewis
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?
Ryder Bennett
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)
Landon Gomez
it costs money for dental service
Nathaniel Johnson
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.
