medieval Roman Empire*

how do I add the switzerland parts of the france minimod to HPM?

post them all friend.

r8 me so far

Mamluks broke up QQ leaving them easy pickings, Persia broke free and declared on me, resulting a chunk of land and in 500 shekels of debt. Marched Georgia and integrating Shirvan.

Persia seems under control now but I don't know what the fuck I'll do if the ottomans come knocking, the only potential ally are mamluks but I don't trust them at all to help against the turks

>notice that all soldier pops coming from there are turkish, open pop tab
>not a single greek soldier pop

people have instructed me to edit the save, but doing this each time i get a new territory is way too tedious.
say, if i made a custom even that increases assimilation by 100% for some months each time i annex land, the turk soldiers would become greek soldiers right? would that be possible and potentially a way to get rid of the assimilation bug once and for all?

lolwut
It would seem that the white blob of doom has lost it's mind.

Why not?
I like conclave.

Is that why Greeks went from being blonde haired and blue eyed to brown?

REMINDER

Mosley > every other country, ideology and regime ever
You might not like this fact, lads, but it's objectively correct.

What was the name of that game that has been posted it here a few times that is basically a heavy politics sim with a few population mechanics

daily reminder the french have NEVER won a war

- Hundred Years War
- Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." Sainted.

- Italian Wars
- Lost.

- Wars of Religion
- France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

- Thirty Years War
- France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her.

- War of Revolution
- Tied.

- The Dutch War
- Tied

- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War
- Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power.

- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost.

- American Revolution
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting."

- French Revolution
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

- The Napoleonic Wars
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer.

- The Franco-Prussian War
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night.

- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States [Entering the war late -ed.]. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein."

- World War II
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

- War in Indochina
- Lost.

- Algerian Rebellion
- Lost.

I really enjoyed the Warhammer mod for CK2. It's a total conversion with a whole new map, religions, cultures, etc.

HoI4.

So they are the opposite of the Romans?
Romans almost every battle they fought, and lost at the beginning of all the wars, but ended up victorious in the end soley because they could replace lossess better then anyone else in the world.

Vichy France > all

English owned France > All

Hey guys, playing HPM 0.3.6.3, pretty much reached all my goals now, where do I go from here?

Obviously restore the empire

I actually searched that, you bastard

Imperium Universalis.

Thanks friend

does province occupation in HPM not affect in-country emigration?

Nope. Makes your people flee tae fuck though.

>flee tae
what?

So I'm guessing colonial migration is easier in HPM than vanilla?

>where do I go from here?

Alright lads, how likely do you think it is for me be to be able to pull off Barbarossa in '37 before Austria or Czech Rep. is annexed?

What do I do as Albania in Vicky 2? Form Albania?
Is Turkey a form of groß Albaniums?

no
more humored than anything

I unironically agree with this for the most part, but I would but the French Republics on the same level as Napoopan France.

the sooner you invade Soviet, the greater your chances of success.

wot mod
And easy if you meme paratroopers.

Yeah but I can't politically annex Austria whilst at war, so I lose out on like 25~ IC and 300 manpower. Not sure if I can get the Sudentland whilst at war either.

Unrelated, I'm thinking of just not going through the Lowlands so that the UK stays out of my way. Is HARM x2, INF x1, Truck towed x1 enough to smash through the Maginot?

HPP. I don't like using gamey shit if you're implying I should drop on VP's.

doesn't matter. the power of the Soviets will increase far more than yours in the same amount of time. you need to invade as soon as physically possible in every case.

I really like Ck2/Eu4 because of how deep and complex they are and how you can play them for hundreds of hours and still learn new stuff, I bought Stellaris in the sale after meaning to buy it for a while and after playing for a few hours it just seems really dull and boring to me. It's kind of like vanilla Civ 5 in space, it just seems really simple and boring so far. Paradox strategy games are usually really complicated though so I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or playing the game wrong.
