>steamcordplaza still this mad
Go play HoI4, retard.

thanks for the (you)

That's not how you spell falkland islands

And do what? Can they even form Plland through decision in HPM? Should I ally Prussia, Austria, or Russia?

They can but play as a based and white tall Krakow

I would be fine with that, but R&I wouldn't agree to it, he doesn't even talk, and Steamcordplaza would just spam threads.

steamcord got mad at fertile greek playthrough?
damn...

They can form poland. Play as a tall krakow instead.
t. guy who got the 4

How would I even go about doing that?
How tall can you even play as an OPM?
Sounds like the single most boring playthough ever, user. Plus don't they get event annexed by Austria ten years in?
Also,
>poles
>white

>How tall can you even play as an OPM?
I've gotten some pretty big neuchatel empires.

MORE EPIC BYZANTIUMS I CANT LIVE ANYMORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *cums in balls*

They always meme on Vicky posts, because they solely play EU4 MP because V2 is too complicated for them.

That actually sounds pretty fun. Are they North German primary or Swiss? Because Swiss is tainted with medbloods.

yeah 1.3 billion turkrapespawn pops are definitely very complicated to handle

What the fuck. Commie redditards stealing our mod.

Seething.

Depends on what mods you have. I don't know what they are in vanilla or plain HPM.

>waah why cant you post hoi4
Imagine being this retarded.

BASED HELLENICBRO WORKING THE OBESE STEAMCORDPLAZA SHITTERS INTO LITERAL TEARS

>commie redditard
It's worse than you think

I need a bit of help here in trying to get a culture flip, I'm playing as the King of Denmark from the 867 start, obviously I created the kingdom myself, and I've converted to Catholicism while the Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway are still Germanic pagan. What I need help with is getting Danish culture to become a thing, according to the wiki Norse culture splits into various groups starting in 950 if certain conditions are met, Swedish and Norwegian have already become a thing and are spreading in their respective areas but not Danish, I've only got the Kingdom of Denmark, though I do hold enough territory in England to form the kingdom, and obviously the Pope isn't Norse so I'm wondering if I just need to keep waiting or if I'm doing something wrong.

Here's what is says on the wiki for reference:
>Norse splits into several cultures starting in 950. This is prevented if the top liege has Norse culture and hold either an empire or multiple kingdoms (it doesn't matter which ones) or if the province owner's head of religion is of Norse culture.

>identity politics
REEEEEEEE hate when fellow marxists do this shit

is anyone going to host a victoria 2 HPM mp?

t. that guy who wants to play as switzerland and become big

also am going to revive /mu/ thread for music. HPM was here a while ago, right? I checked his mod for any music files, and didn't see any... so I'm just going to go ahead. HPM you better scream if you are already working on a music mod.

>not playing tall and controlling everything from the shadows

Being a (nat)bolshevik/stalinist myself it's disgusting seeing faggots think they are accepted in communism

greeks have settled large parts of siberia
some areas have >70% greerk nationals

...

>as a leftypol browser myself, I hate idpol

Only minor land expansions, like Innsbruck and Annecy. Otherwise you can't become a great power if you don't have more than one state.

>cheating

based as fuark

>implying

>industry 2
You're fuckin me, right?

Vanilla V2 was quite a ride.

You can't conquer chinese territory that early, and even if you did you wouldn't have 0.3 bb

I'm on Laissez Faire and it's fucking me over
I've modded the start date. In reality I've been playing about 120 years

>some guy is posting an interesting playthrough oh no i must shitpost

would you be less autistic if he was playing portugal instead?

That's the beauty of these games, sometimes strange things happen

>everything but my railroaded Germaniac playthrough MUST be shitposted away! WAAAH WAAAH! HOW DARE THEY NOT PLAY AS I WANT THEM TO

how i finna know you're a virgin

here's a map of the world

the Greek Internationale is nominally the strongest power bloc in the world but despite its massive population it probably couldn't stand up against every other major power bloc united against it

When I saw EU4 on sale for 75% off, I was expecting the DLC to be on sale for no more than 66% off like every recent sale, instead none of the DLC is on sale at all.

Seriously, fuck Paradox. Since I haven't even felt like playing any of their games in a long while and there just aren't any similar games by other developers, I guess I'm done here.

is that bolivian patagonia

damn thats pretty epic do u wanna give a-l to grossgermaniums or cuck franks lol

>NazBol
Wait, really? Damn, I knew they existed, but I never thought I'd meet a genuine commie nazi.

The Commonwealth’s expeditionary army, loaded down with the first of the Qing Emperor’s gold, is on its way back to Britain when London receives startling word from Europe: Tsar Nicholas II, having recovered his Polish territories, has grown bold. Claiming the entire crown of Poland, Nicholas desires the territories “belonging to his kingdom” which have been occupied by the Germans, and has set out on a war to dismantle the German state in order to get them.

The move is a bald attempt to compensate for the long weakness of the Tsar’s state, and his crushing defeats to Britain and Germany prior to the Second Glorious Revolution. Just as France took advantage of Germany’s weakness when it lacked a strong ally in Britain, so too does Nicholas feel that the time is right to exact revenge, and to make a real name for Russia in the process.

Unfortunately for Nicholas, he strongly underestimates the strength of Wilhelm’s state, and of Wilhelm’s resolve for victory. The Kaiser, grudgingly, requests the Reichstag to send a request for aid to the last party which Nicholas would expect: the British.

Yet the movie is wise. Britain has supreme naval power on the high seas, a vast army of International soldiers merely awaiting the call of war in Asia, and crack soldiers which can drop into Russia from all sides, thanks to their naval superiority. Their aid, in the very unlikely event they deigned to join a capitalist conflict, would virtually ensure the war’s victory in Wilhelm’s favor.

And, to the surprise of many in Parliament, Keane does agree to join with the Kaiser. “It is not in our interests for the German state, such a ripe field for communism—for sorrowful as it is for me to admit it, they are the most industrialized state per capita in the world—to fall at the hands of an imperialist power. They must be preserved, whole and mighty, for the future. Thus, we fight the Tsar.”

>austrian congo
Never knew how much I needed this.

NazBol is just Stalinism.

fuck off commie cuck i want to read about alexander's empire

I don't know why I laughed so hard at this.

...

here's just a map of the Hellenic Dominion and her various satellite states. Non-client states that are a part of the Greek Internationale such as the Austrian People's Republic of Austria or the Turkish Socialist Republic are not pictured.

Patagonia is independent, communist and a part of the GI. It was from a crisis.

it's barely visible on the map because it's white-on-white. But yeah Austria-Hungary got the event for a secondary power to get the kongo and then weeks later they turned back into normal Austria when they went commie.

>allying the literal ideological opposite of your regime
What the fuck, lad. You're RPing as commies so well.

blanco y basado

I don't know, for some reason I recall Stalin not getting on with nazis that well. There was a war about it, iirc.

Apparently Japan and Bulgaria are such shitholes that they make other iirelevant memes like Belgium, Denmark and India look great in comparison.

Kaiserreich download?

I saw you waiting to post until the janny deleted one of the threads, you non-partisan fuck.

wtf why are these numale cucks leaving epic alexander's empire for shitholes???

Man, political comics have changed a lot. These days, the word "POLAND" would be written on the corpse, and he'd have a knife labeled "Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact" sticking out of his back. Also, Stalin and Hitler would be wearing nametags, just in case someone didn't know who they were.

bumping this

Sure thing, lads

Don't even need an account to view.

>Victoria 2 Music Mod Thread
Come in and suggest music that fits in with the base game, and the general feel. Considering the base game only has a paltry 75 minutes of music, expanding upon this catalog is a must.

believe me the cucking of france and germany is well underway

also corsica is over 50% greek now

>being this much of a yohan-worshipping virgin

jesus fucking christ, ask him how he's doing with his range-ban lmao

Got one for that one? I'd want the updated version too.

By the time that Wilhelm actually calls for Commonwealth aid, the war appears to already be won. Nicholas II greatly overestimated the strength of his state, and German armies have consequently swept aside what few armies he had prepared for the war as if they were nothing. Reinforcements come, but slowly, with the massive Russian countryside and antiquated rail systems preventing them either from arriving in time or from being effective when they eventually do so.

Wilhelm, in the typical petulant design of an imperialist, declares that he will do to the Tsar’s state what the Tsar threatened to do to his, pulling it down around the edges and smashing Russia’s strength. Although this appeals to London more than the destruction of the German state, it is not what they are ultimately desirous of; Russia may be backwards and weak, but it is nevertheless large and capable of industrialization. It would be a fertile field indeed for communism, but its fracturing would prevent an easy and universal application of that ideology.

Thus, although Keane does accept the call to war demanded by the Kaiser and does order the Asian International states to participate, a plan forms in the back of his mind on how to respond to the situation. There are many Russian communists in London who write works against the Tsar in their exile, and it appears as if one of them would be quite suitable for his purposes: a young, internationalist-minded communist influenced by the proletarian system in the Commonwealth. Although his comrade Vladimir Lenin is much more famous, for Keane’s purposes the young man by the name of Leon Trotsky seems far better suited for what he has in mind.

Is DH one even still being developed?

nope, they moved the whole team to working on hoi4

no but since we let hoi (a wargame) be posted here you should go ahead and post whatever you want

*resubs* ok sry bro i just dont really like ppl saying romans arent italian ok?

Good to see ya, AARnon.
All these tripfags. imo trips should only be for AAR's and Mod developers. Otherwise piss off.

Based Deanchad should keep his trip and be given the title 'Defender of the Thread' imo.

>Sorry lad, perhaps you could try /gsg/ though.
