xth for POST NEWEST KAISERREICH FOR HOI4 AND IS MATHEMTICS AND TECHNOLOGIES OUT OF BETA ALREADY?

...

What's your favorite country to play as in East vs West?

Based

Palestine

East desu.

Has anyone seen AI form mughal empire in EU4?

Timurids never survive 50 years in my playthroughs

West desu

is there anything to even do in CWE?

Alright. I got slightly bored with the great powers so let's try something different.
Were gonna play as Serbia.

In Kaiserreich Serbia has been defeated in the Weltkrieg. As a result its territory has been divided between Bulgaria and Albania with Austria maintaining a military occupation of the mainland. During the 20's Austria fell into internal turmoil and had to pull out from Serbia leaving a local occupational governor to rule in its stead. That governor was Duke Petar Bojovic, a famous serbian Field Marshal and a hero of both the Balkan Wars and the Weltkrieg. He maintained a low profile during the following years, knowing that Serbia was too weak to face any kind of external military intervention. That period of the 'bitter' peace for allowed Serbia to regain some sort of economical self-sufficiency and political stability.
Now the year is 1936 and the renegotiation of the Ausgleich is approaching. Will Serbia use this opportunity to break its chains once and for all or will it fade into history?

Reminder that REEDCORD is for the whiteman and also the blackman

STANCORD is for the GAYMAN

>implying being gay is bad

lurking for more

If Serbia is going to have any chance of winning the upcoming fight its political and economical machine must be geared for war.
To achieve this Regent Bojovic is opening up the Serbian market to the World in order to bring more trade and even political support and recognition. In particular his main goal is to bring in foreign made weapons and equipment for gearing his army.
A political reshuffle is also incoming. It will cause some dissent among the political elite of Serbia, but we all must make sacrifices in order to preserve our freedom.

You're doing it wrong.

>supports miscegnation
>against homosexuality
?????

>supports miscegenation
I didn't say it was for the mixedman.

I've seen the cookie, I know your tricks.

The Serbian economy is still weak but it will have to do. And the reconstruction of the military is our number one priority. Firstly we will use our economical output towards propaganda to ease the tensions we caused with our political reforms, then we will equip and reinforce our standing armies. Once that is out of the way we will start the serial production of Light Infantry.
Light Infantry is weaker than regular Infantry but it gains combat bonuses in rough terrain which will prove crucially beneficial to us, since Balkan is riddled with hills, mountains, rivers and forests.

>stancord rn

I love you give me a son

Our troops have been lined on the Bosnian boundary. If the worse happens and the Austrian Empire declares war we will use our cavalry and mountaineer divisions to push into Montenegro and cut off their supplies coming in from the sea while the rest of our army will push into Bosnia with hopes of taking Sarajevo and Banjaluka. Our airforce will prove a valuable asset.

i beg you lads post newest kaiserreich for hoi4

Look into the last threads

The Bosnian Government refuses to enact agrarian reforms and continues to treat Serbian and Croatian peasants as feudal serfs. This has enraged the oppressed Serbian minority in Bosnia and they have turned to us for support. Of course even if this may be our end we are honor bound to help our brothers and sisters in any way we can. We have started ferrying weapons and ammo across the Drina river into Bosnia. Now we wait and sea what will be the move from Austria.
P.S.: For some reason I cant screencap while event popups are up so I have brought up the event panel for you.

Fuck off nerd

wow, that's a nice confederacy you've got there Neptune

Yes, it's something I've been considering for a long while already. Never found a satisfactory way of implementing it though.

The problem derives of a) it's hard to "count" different country/region pops, that is, make it simple enough that it isn't a clusterfuck and b) make it broad enough to affect a country such as Albania conquering Korea but specific enough so the UK doesn't suffer the same because of India.

Ideally, something like that would be population based, yes. If you end up a minority on your own country because of overseas colonies, then you'd start to suffer. There's still the India/UK problem and maybe that could be tied to Naval Tech and other stuff so you could expand the amount of people/colonies you can administer efficiently but, as I said, I couldn't think of a good way of doing it so far.

The game is about culture, which contains elements of both. In this case, the shia/sunni divide prevails since Islam is a huge part of culture and society overall in the Muslim world, and divides communities of similar linguistic and ethnic backgrounds.

I won't add a decision to accept Tajik just because they speak a similar language and turn a blind eye to the intrinsic hatred in the shia/sunni divide.

If you only argument is "they speak a similar language", then the answer will always be the same: no.

it sure would be a shame if someone...

Exactly one month after we have started our support of activists in Bosnia, the Serbian resistance movement "Narodna Odbrana" (National Defence) have started their first operations.
This path is leading us straight to war with Austria and it might catch us in the middle of our military reorganization. If we don't finish our Light Infantry doctrine before the escalation of this flash point our army will be forced into war with interbellum doctrines which might have disastrous consequences.

Fuck off alex

Disputed your state's right to secede from the union

third rome comes out tomorrow

The Austrian Empire seams to believe our activists are harmless. Only time will tell if they were right, but right now this is what we have obtained... Time, to prepare our nation for the final struggle.

did once when wealth of nations came out

think I took a screenshot but it's gone now

The Serbian generalstab has finished implementing the light infantry doctrine and continues to advance in this field with the Grand Battle Plan doctrine.

my argument is that following social and political trends to secularization and nationalism makes it logical for a hypothetical westernized iran to accept tajiks. these trends don't just affect government obviously, all parts of everyday life are included. so if you say it doesn't make sense to accept tajiks even if the government is willing because the people aren't, in a different history perhaps the islamic world grew into post-enlightenment politics quicker than it did, and society itself is different.

I AM CLAPPING SO HARD RIGHT NOW

Today is a great day for Serbia as we have finally opened our new Parliament building. It's construction was started in 1905 with the mark of democracy in Serbia being firmly planted. But it was shelled by Austrian ironclads during the Weltkrieg. Now 18 years since the end of the war we have finished it. A testament to our stubborn will to survive and retain our freedom.
The Serbian army continues its modernization and on October,24 we will hold a military parade in Belgrade to mark the completion of our first new light infantry division.

we lost that one, but we shall smash them here!

>tfw you do a six parallel ten serial run of infantry
>tfw intelligence report comes in
>"____ has interrupted the production of infantry ('39)"

BAH GOD THAT'S HPM'S MUSIC

>political trends to secularization
Not in the muslim world, not for muslim population at large.

> and nationalism
Nationalism is exactly what stops this from happening, you are thinking about pan-nationalism.

>makes it logical for a hypothetical westernized iran to accept tajiks
What you require is a complete secularization of vast amounts of people in a short amount of time for a religion that is far from secular and is completely interwoven in culture and politics, in a way that some small secularization in anything but a small elite in most countries didn't happen, in regions so isolated and backwards that were westernized fully only in the 21th century.

If you want to believe in some alternate reality where millions of muslims in isolated parts of Asia secularize extremely fast and at the same time don't develop a local nationalism as it happened historically but develop pan-nationalism with another country that also secularized fast and wants the same thing just because they speak the same language, then fine.

I had this talk before and my opinion on it didn't change, nor did the argument. It boils down to "it's a similar language", it started with it, the rest of the improbable scenario is just fluff to try and mask it.

southern swine! the armies of the union are crushed! this day will live in infamy!

hi alex

Lad, I discussed this with before and you told me to fuck off, can you PLEASE add events for a repartition of Norn Iron, it was a real proposal in the timeframe.

Face it pussy

I TOLD YOU ABOUT THEM HORSES DOG I TOLD YOU

He's clearly not going to reply to this epic meme, so why do you do it?

If he does, I hope they make the loyalist paramilitaries a major PITA. As that was the major reason why it never happened.

hi grandiguard

Hey.

Is it possible to have multiple colonial nations in one area, like for example a colonial spanish Brazil neighboring a dutch Brazil or an portugese Brazil. Even if the treaty of tordesillas has been made?

I think they'd have agreed with it if the taigs went back and the loyalists came east.

to battle again! the founders command it!

I´ve been living in Cuba for a year (work), internet was shit and Veeky Forums was blocked.

What is the non meme mod for Vic2? Do we hate HPM now?

I did.

My job is mostly trying to prevent Romania from falling apart.

HPM is being phased out, Bombermod AKA HPMP is the replacement.

You mean dividing NI in 5 provinces so the UK could willingly give 2 to Ireland?

I´m just a random anonymous poster that picked brazil as an example. I know that the guy posts here, but would you please stop accusing every user of being alex? Shit really isn´t productive and frankly it´s tiring, how you all complain about the boogeyman every 20 posts.

The final confrontation awaits, for Franklin! for Washington! for Jefferson!

It's January,28 1937. And Europe has descended into madness once again.
The situation in Scandinavia has reached the boiling point as Socialists seized power in Norway and the Nationalistic government in Sweden declared war. This was followed by the Lapua movement in Finland declaring war on both Norway and Sweden in an attempt to achieve superiority in the far north of Europa.
The Socialist Union of Britain would not stand for this however and responded with its own declaration of war on Finland which lead Germany to respond in same by declaring war on Britain. With the Commune of France ready to join its ally and Kornilov's government in Russia ready to expand, Europe seams to be falling into full chaos.
On a brighter note, with the German Reich busy with a war in Europe, Serbia will have an almost free hand in its own foreign policies.

The guy probably doesn't even know Veeky Forums exists desu

ok alex

Will you ever re-shape the states (maybe even provinces) of anatolia?I'm not sure if it's because it's historical, but the borders are complete shit past the two states in Asia Minor

he just did

No, I mean keeping the three, and allowing them to give one, or possibly two to Ireland.
Also, there should be a permanent "nationalist insurgency" modifier if they don't do this, and possibly a 25% chance of keeping it if they do.

What triggers on the 15th day of every month that could potentially cause a crash in CKII (with HIP)?
E.g. game crashes repeatedly on 15th of July, 1014. Save editing the date to 16th works only until 15th of August.

may the constitution help us all

youtube.com/watch?v=EQL_EQi3M3o

yes

It's not really in the plans, especially since there are no borders there, everything is part of the OT/Turkey.

Of keeping the modifier? Why would they do this (give away two provinces)? So Ireland gives up their cores on NI?

A permanent modifier to piss people off would just mean the places gets depopulated.

Allright, good to know. Thank you.

hi alex

>those cav numbers
you best prepare your defenses, lad

Hey

Anyway, I honestly don't remember this discussion so it's all new to me. Doesn't look too absurd but I fail to see what the UK gets with this.

talex

being nice

With Canada and the remaining Entente in exile declaring war on the Union of Britain and the ausgleich scheduled to happen within a week.
Regent Bojovic has decided that Serbia needs to remain stable in this world chaos and has chosen to reinstall HRH King Aleksander II Karadjordjevic on the throne of Serbia. On his crowning the king has addressed the nation stating his intention to reintroduce absolutism at least until Serbia has weathered this storm and its future is secured.
This move by now Duke Bojovic has put Serbia once again on the brink of war with Austria, as this means Serbia has become a sovereign country completely independent from Austria.
