How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, 9th of July:
491 – Odoacer makes a night assault with his Heruli guardsmen, engaging Theoderic the Great in Ad Pinetam. Both sides suffer heavy losses, but in the end Theodoric forces Odoacer back into Ravenna.
1386 – The Old Swiss Confederacy makes great strides in establishing control over its territory by soundly defeating the Archduchy of Austria in the Battle of Sempach.
1943 – The Allied invasion of Sicily soon causes the downfall of Mussolini and forces Hitler to break off the Battle of Kursk

Post germaniums

Are HPM and HPM guy dead?

>Infopic
Not based
t.anime historical pic lad

Played a full game in Oceania and Southeast Asia, didn't touch Europe or war with any of the European powers (aside from the occasional conflict with the Ottomans in alliance with Ming).

How's this Europe looking?

Religion map. The HRE went full-Catholic, Scandinavia and England went Protestant (technically, Norway and Denmark went Protestant, Sweden went Reformed, but then Denmark and Russia allied and gangbanged Sweden).

Note that Russia and Italy are also allied right now, and are tearing apart the Ottomans (and are marching in Contantinople)

Closeup on Constantinople.

>last post 2 days ago
Nope

Ottoman player post pops

I mean, it's not really my germanium but this is the closest I've got. I think they did fairly well for themselves.

Can i post hoi4 in this general yet? or are you dumb autists still upset that your precious little game got a graphix update and is playable now?

Fuck off plebbit

I haven't played Vicky for months, since HPM was gone. Is that Africa mod compatible with HPM and is it worth it? I was thinking of just using the HPM minimods desu but I saw that this existed.

>endgame in 1821 has the revolutionary capital and most of the country occupied
>vicky 2 starts in 1836

You could totally make a Vicky 2 continuation mod with the equivalent of the Treaties of Paris happening in the interim

autism

I don't think my autism is that strong, sorry.

you can suck my dick lad

...

Pro tip: no amount of land in canada is worth having to fight the uk in the early game.

So are the Switzerland minimod, the East India Company minimod, HPNNM compatible with the latest HPM? Also, what's the difference between the Swiss cultures mod and Swiss cultures with assimilation?

>not rushing to annex as much as possible of the Americas to soak up immigrants

Its really not worth all the immigrants you lose out on while at war, as well as all the dead soldier pops you'l lose from attrition occupying all those frozen\tropical shitholes.

This game looks lit, what is it called?

>losing immigrants while at war

Prussia has been dead for hundreds of years, germany nowadays is a joke. Also enjoying no torrents?

hot

Playing HPM, and crises keep occurring around 1848, even though they've been locked until 1870. How do I stop this?

>Last Thread
>Not the anime pic thread
>Not even the historical pic thread
:thinking:

Thought I would play greedy since time is running out. 199% overextension

*believes in your world*

don't do that

You can't stop me

Also, how do I fix this?

*raises paw*

*runs away giggling*

What is the secret of playing Mongolia successfully in DH Kaiserreich?
Just blitz Qing before they can get up a nice army and then you are set, right?

Anyone?

You run uninstall.exe, followed by uninstalling your life

This guy here.

If I were to go about making a Victoria 2 alternate scenario, how would I go about that?Is there some kind of EU4 ==> Vic2 converter that exists which I could use as a starting point?

Gee, I wonder what happened in 1848 user.
Why would the year 1848 be plagued by crisises in a historical game?
Retarded Faggot

Imagine being this reddit.

What the fuck did you do, lad?
t. historical pic lad who thought you had this

The event in the beginning of the game locks crises until 1870 they shouldn't happen, regardless of the Springtime of Nations you stupid faggot

Works on my machine

/gsg/, is sleeping with girls you don't like for free drugs white and based?

Pretty niggerish desu

What if we both like Mosley?

then you're both retarded

Are these girls white men?

Thats absolutely niggerish
Almost as bad as the dudes who opened sauce packets all over a table at taco bell right before it closed then bragged about it before leaving

Ok so I have a small nation fetish thing going on rn

So far ive played malta and ended a GP
Tannu Tuva (which i still think is impossible, I got annexxed nearly immediatly every single attempt)
And Luxembourg (this one was kinda easy)

So now im thinking of either playing Neuchatel, Ruanda (changeownering the uncolonized land then releasing it immediatly)
Zanzibar
Or if cores exist in some mod Singapore

Which one would be most fun?

Singapore, you would have to balance between the Japs and the Brits.

what would be a good comfy nation to learn how to economy in Liqqy 2 ? Also tips on economy ?

Luxembourg. They have coal so you can make glass and liqour

Belgium or USA, you'll have a good craftsmen pop and great RGOs, with USA you'll get a lot more pops and with Belgium you'll have a chance to colonize africa.

Slovenia

Fucking bohemia in eu4 keeps being able to ally the ottomans now

>USA
based fucking disinfo retardbro dropping redpills straight out of reddit

USA is shit for learning industry since you'll have zero control over it for the entire game

you guys get your shit together next thread

is it better to colonize Africa or colonize Eastern Europe as Germany?

that's a fucking badass flag

>zero control over it for the entire game
>He doesn't elect the whigs and socialists so he can have control over the economy

He asked to learn how to build up your economy, not just the industry. This includes sphereing and getting access to new goods and areas, which is braindead easy for the USA since no GP cares about their continent
Being an interventionist USA is fun as hell too, you can work with a huge population of literate craftsmen and you continually get more over the course of the game from immigration.

I hate

market liberalism

syndies

and anglo canada

Can the civil war be avoided in HPM ?

yes, but then it happens anyway with other factions

Then the Free states decide to pack their things and fuck off.

Free States are pissed off norther industrialists, Confederate States are pissed off landowning agriculturalists

Then what should I do to win as the CSA ? Ship all the yankee soldiers off to some shithole and keep them stuck there if possible ? Or just disband them before the war ?

Yankee Soldiers in Liberia, disband navies

2 main options:
Only build up the south, make sure to only build dixie soldiers and disband yanks
or
Build up soldiers as normal, keep liberia or conquer some island like Hawaii, ship every Yank soldier there, then delete all your transports.

Industrialize the South if you can, encourage migration to the south.
Make sure that the south gets most of your attention before the civil war.
And use the geography to your advantage.
Make sure the north is worse off than the South.
Keep Yankee soldiers to a minimum, and ship them off into a shitty Island or something, then delete clippers.
Keep the Dixie Soldiers together in the South

Ship Yankee soldiers off somewhere and position all your armies on the mobilization centers when the civil war is nigh and you won't face any opposition.

Is there a way to switch an ironman game to observer? I failed in my finicky meme viking indian merchant republic game, but I want to see what happens to the Persian adventurer that spawned in Punjab with 40k
