We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

In EU4 there shouldn't be a strait between northern ireland and scotland, it makes no fucking sense

Wow..Ha..Ha?

How do these Balkans look? Russia just finished BTFO'ing the turks, and gave Constantinople to Bulgaria.

Should I go ahead and puppet what's left of them?

Any interesting ideas for a new CK2 campaign? I'd like to continue it in to EU4.

SNP-Labour coalition when?

wow

anyway to get beta goi4 patch as non-buyer? ;^)

Right what is the worst start date and why is it 769? Fucking Franicablob.

When you win enough seats down in England.

Do I expand into the Livonian Order for access to the Daugava Estuary to solidify my grip on Baltic trade, or do I start eating into the Balkans to push back the Turk and work towards owning the entire Black Sea coastline?

Livonian/balt region was never slav anyway

Can someone please explain this bullshit? I out-numbered the Japanese with not terrible equipment, on a hill, in a fort, behind a river and they kicked me out in less than a day of fighting. Fucking HOW? I expected that line to hold for at least two WEEKS!

WTF castille

Seriously though go for Livonia because if you don't Moscow will. Looks like there's a lot of pressure on every side of you so it's the most logical choice. Is Hungary under Austrian control?

How can one man be so white?

They added it because everyone was complaining that a unified UK would have "Great Britain" individually on Ireland and Britain instead of one big name over them all.
That's literally the only reason.

Why is creating the Head of Religion for Catharism so fucking difficult? I, a relatively insignificant Irish king despite holding by far the largest Cathar kingdom in the world would still have to take over Jerusalem from the titular kingdom in order to ordain myself as head of Catharism.

Thank you very much for being absolutely no help whatsoever.

What makes it worse that I was winning the first couple of attacks easily, then seemingly nothing change and I got swept.

Bohemia's got some nasty alliances so I'm probably going to wait until the Religious Leagues fire. I've got permanent claims on some of their land so Austria will probably be nice and let me have them.
Hungary and Austria are allied to each other, and both allied to me. Hungary and I have been double teaming the Ottomans for a while now, and according to my spies the Turks are about to DoW on Hungary again, which would call me in.
But I'm rocking +83% Cavalry Combat Ability with a full set of the new Cossack Cavalry in each of my stacks, so I'm not too concerned.

Castile has been getting shit on more often than not ever since the MoH patch.

Something iv learned on Hoi3, it's better to build a navy first, so once your fighting Britain, just keep intercepting. Their naval production can't keep up and they can't do shit besides annoy you with bombers ever so often.

In that case just wait it out and pummel turkman when you get the chance. Livonia won't stand a chance against you alone but you'll need all your strength to come out of a war with the Ottomans as good as you went into it.

Well, should I?

And further, how the fuck is THIS happening?! I've been dug in and prepared for over a MONTH! How the fuck are six of my divisions just sitting on their asses while the Japanese smear their chodes all over the fucking fortifications?!

Is there any point in keeping man o wars around in the 20th century?

industrial dismantlement when?

if you are having so much trouble with HoI4, I honestly believe you should just fucking kill yourself.

>building Man'o'Wars
Lad...

Hey laddos, I'm thinking of doing a Divergances AAR as a sort of test run here, maybe interactive. Would you be interested?

I'm thinking of starting as revolutionary England, specifically either England during a revolt against the Dual Monarchy which decided to favor France more, or even a Total Revolution against the DM.

It'll mainly be a writing exercise like AARanon, and I may use changeowner to make better/more sensible borders or make a story go along (not to my benefit, of course).

I do plan on trying to make it emotional.

>Is there any point in keeping man o wars around in the 20th century?
There's no point in having them, frigates are better in every single way.
And no, don't keep obsolete ships, cuz they take up space in your naval limit that could hold new shiny ships instead.

fucking hell half the thread just got deleted

That doesn't fucking tell me what I'm doing wrong, chucklefuck. How about you wipe off some of the smug you use to hide from the fact your parents never loved you and actually do something helpful with your waste of an existence?

>implying I built them

They've been around since the start date, I'm pretty sure. My only enemies have been those on land like NGF and Russia so I never really needed a navy other than to have more score until I took back Algeria. Now I'm gonna need one to dominate the Mediterranean.

These ships do have some pretty based names though.

Does Franciablob stay forever in CK2?

Hover over the attack/defense modifiers to check for bonuses. Air superiority now gives up to a -30% to defense for the enemy. Also post your division composition

It usually dissolves into bordergore the moment Charlie kicks the bucket.
Gavelkind is a hell of a drug.

Is there any point in going Jefferson method other than being more American?

Should I go full 1488?

Going pretty good so far.
But the ottomans haven't come yet, I hope I don't get a rude awakening.

Is that even a question?

I'd be interested, I'll keep an eye on it and participate if you do make it interactive.

Please respond.

Thoughts?

THANK you! Finally, someone who actually wants to be helpful! You have no idea how glad I am to see that.

No major alterations to my attack or defence in this battle. Enemy air support gives me like a -6.4% to my defence value but that's negligible. I'd just like to know why the hell the rest of my forces in the region aren't actually getting off their asses to fight.

I'll post the light infantry and line troops in a second.

In game it makes very little difference.

In reality, yes absolutely, The "Jefferson Method" is used in modern-day Europe (although not in modern day America) to create a proportional voting system that results in a parliament/congress that reflects the views of the public accurately rather than forcing them to decide between a couple parties.
This is very much superior to America/England-style FPTP.

Should I start a new game of CK2, /gsg/, or wait until China is inevitably released?

Fair enough, guess I'll just stick with FPTP so the liberals could make my industry explode lategame.
