This day in history, 16th of July:
1054 – Three Roman legates break relations between Western and Eastern Christian Churches through the act of placing an invalidly-issued Papal bull of Excommunication on the altar of Hagia Sophia during Saturday afternoon divine liturgy. Historians frequently describe the event as the start of the East–West Schism.
1942 – Holocaust: The government of Vichy France orders the mass arrest of 13,152 Jews who are held at the Winter Velodrome in Paris before deportation to Auschwitz.
1945 – Manhattan Project: The Atomic Age begins when the United States successfully detonates a plutonium-based test nuclear weapon near Alamogordo, New Mexico.

Looks like Paradox also forgot to include turkish soldier pops in a few provinces in Turkey, not only greek soldier pops.

Now that you are at it, I noticed that at the beggining of the game the ottos have 100% admin on southern macedonia, more than any other state.
Maybe it's because of that instant assimilation, or the number of turkish bureaucrats should be reduced.

the REAL redpill? let me tell ya kid. grandi's not brazillian. oh that's his name alright though, you got that for sure, but brazillian? nah. ha, don't make me laugh. brazillians love the attention and so they foster memes about themselves at any opportunity. all you gotta do to see this is realize how forced-feeling it is, and then you realize how many brazillians are here... the math adds up, it's a bunch of them spamming.
no, grandi is ITALIAN.

t. butthurt kraut

Holy fuck why are people conquered by turks so butthurt while people conquered by original romans so grateful?

Ottoman empire was just as much of a blessing as the first roman empire

Eh, I don't think it was as big as the effect of Romanization in, eg, Britain.

And the answer? Religion.

That's because everyone wants to be
>we wuz romans
Not
>we wuz ottomans

yea because empires a thousand years apart, in entirely different periods of human history are so comparable

Yeah, it's because of islam.
Probably albanians and bosniaks think differently.

>And the answer? Religion.

Yeah cause Otto really treated those Bosniaks, Albanians, Kurds, and Arabs pretty well

While your fucking around with pop assimilation, I've noticed something with Lombardy and Venice

9/10 times I've noticed either a Southern German or a Hungarian craftsmen would move to Milan or Venice, and if Italy takes these lands back,most of the times Northern Italians do the craftsmen assimilation glitch; I've had games where Milan is a fourth Hungarian and Venice is a fourth S. German
Just thought i'd let you know

>an empire isn't comparable to itself
wew matey

So many conflicting information ITT

FUCKING GEX I WANT TO PLAY YOUR MOD RELEASE IT ALREADY

I'd like to throw in treatment of (muslim) minorities was good to begin with. Things just started to really go downhill when nationalism became a thing and the ottomans started flailing about for a national identity of their own.

white men

does the flag of constitutional monarchy Cyprus still have the British canton?

It really depends how far back you want to go. For a while, the Ottoman dynasty refused to call themselves Turks because they thought that was a peasant identity (so to speak). This was the same case elsewhere; when Romania united, the nobility refused to speak Romanian (they spoke Bulgarian) because they too thought it was a peasant language.

>craftsmen assimilation bug
>unironically bothering to do that
>being autistic and not letting the AI get you to the map via BASED interventionism only needed to open up and subsidize factories while AI does the work

I think it's because if you were conquered by Rome, life ultimately didn't change much and the regions were super autonomous and basically carried on as they were before the Romans came along.
The only differences being you paid taxes to the Roman government instead of whoever you did before, and you joined the Roman army instead of your local one. The Roman army probably paid better too.

IIRC there were some big differences between upper class and lower class turks. Main one that comes to mind at the moment was that Turkish as spoken by the upper class was like, 80% arabic loanwords and 10% persian loan words.

Is this like how the Cypriot nobility spoke French instead of Greek or whatever they speak on their dumb little island?

Hey HPM, I think the number of Turkish pops in Crete should be adjusted a bit.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretan_Turks

although the table says 43% of Crete was Turkish in 1832, this doesn't exactly translate into Vic II as most of the 'Turks' living in Crete were just Greeks who had converted to Islam. I'd suggest converting 70-80% of the Turkish pops into Greek Muslims.

that applies to most of european nobility though

Hello, me laddy mate, I'm playing as t. urk and some shit happened. I enacted Ottomanism, thinking I would be able to keep the policy of multiculturalism, as the Soviets had ???????????.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/кopeнизaция

But I was RAILROADED out of it and had to become Turk only, which in such a sprawling Union state doesn't make sense, specifically when I went to GREAT lengths to get Hatt I humanyn (or whatever it's called) before I went commie.

I think it would be better if you gave the player (and indeed, the AI) the choice of being a cuck pro or a based national socialist islamic turkic republic, with the nation being renamed "Near Eastern Union" if they choose to be tolerant.

Not all nobility, but rather the boyar class, which have been traitors to the locals for centuries, user. See Vlad the Impaler and Stephen the Great as to why the boyars were scum.

That source is a bit complicated since I can't check it directly. More importantly, the percentage of muslims decreased. That would be impossible while under Ottoman rule.

I can't stop that without stopping assimilation on promotion, which I may end up doing.

Yes.

Why would Ottomanism carry on after the end of the OTTOMAN dynasty? What possible logic would you lead you to believe that?

Anyway, that isn't happening. Ottomanism dies with the Ottoman dynasty.

>cheating

...

>Why would Ottomanism carry on after the end of the OTTOMAN dynasty? What possible logic would you lead you to believe that?
I'm not saying "Ottomanism", I'm saying a policy of tolerance to other cultures, as I have literally just given you an example of the Early Soviet government doing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korenizatsiya

Why would a nation of tolerant commies say Bosniaks, Albanians, Azerbaijanis, etcetera, had no rights?

...

Can you increase the MTTH for the slavery date? I'm still managing to get enough support to turn off slavery before it triggers.

you want commies that are only tolerant to other muslim cultures? lad...

>date
debate

You still tolerate other people as long as you have All Allowed Rights and Full Citizenship.
Accepted cultures are mutual agreements, the people of the culture have to accept being ruled by you.

I'm sorry, you can only be groß neareasternums multicultural unionums if you communism with the head of the house of osman as your head of state.

It evidently ends before because you loose mashriqi and misri as accepted pops if someone decides to t.e Lawrence you

He's saying tolerance isnt a policy that requires an ottoman head of state or ideology, but rather any multicultural state in the near east could implement, and as such, it makes sense for it to be a decision whether to become a turkish national state or remain as a multicultural republic/communist regime. Which imo is a totally possible way it could go, specially the international socialism way. Now, it probably wouldnt make your non-commie turkish pops happy at all but it should be an option.

as it has been said before, being accepted is about both being tolerated by the state and tolerating the state.
ottomanism = we are muslims in a monarchy that greatly accepts us. removing the religion element (socialism) or adding the nationalism element (fascism, liberalism) is effectively ending such a state.

It doesnt have be "ottomanism" it is a multicultural policy that is ottomanism as a monarchy. There is no reason a successor state couldnt enact their own version of the same policy directly, effectively never losing it, except it wouldnt be ottomanism any more.

say you are a bosniak practicing muslim under the ottomeems. you don't like it, but it's not that bad because you are being treated specially.

suddenly the ottoman empire becomes the turkish socialist republic and declares religion illegal. do you just accept it just because they are (((multiculti)))?

The perfect Europe doesn't exi-

Do the turkish muslims accept it?
It should be represented with events, you can choose to establish socialist multiculturalism. But your turkish pops dislike it, and your muslim pops can either keep or lose their accepted status depending on whether they are left leaning. After all a bosniak socialist state would implement the same, religious non socialist will be unhappy regardless of which state it is, it is not about cultures at that point but ideology.

>a bosniak socialist state would implement the same, religious non socialist will be unhappy regardless of which state it is, it is not about cultures at that point but ideology

but they are governed by a bosniak country so they don't mind since their self-determination is satisfied. they might still rebel against the commies, but they are accepted. i don't know why you would even mention this.
if your argument is the socialist: "we are all humans, only thing that differs is class", keep in mind that this is what the government says. the people don't necessarily follow this and even if they do, they don't follow it enough to do it in practice.

Is Chris King the hero we need?
Why did he leave Paradox?

Right. So it is up to the people to determine if they feel accepted by the government, which is up to the government's disposition to grant them equal right and their own ideology, so it should be possible to -attempt- to establish a multicultural socialist state, or even grant autonomies, akin the ussr, which chances of success or failure based on events.

So the Ottomans were a multicultural country? At least in practice they act the exact same, and this is coming from a Canadian, that supposedly from our great leader the spineless Trou d'eau is the first true ''post-national'' country on earth, whatever that is supposed to mean. Ain't no wonder now then they were so fucking horrible as a peoples, honestly never saw a single multicultural nation that wasn't a cesspit of moral and horrible behaviors, where neighbors eagerly stab one another in the back as to escape the [mediatic] lynch mobs riled up by the how so magnanimous elites who rule the place at the moment.

Same trick another day, eh?

So, new version of HPM is going to be released today, right?

The soviets were far from tolerant. They deported people left and right to suppress minorities.

You complained you accepted cultures because of the end of the Ottomanism. It will stay that way. As

said, accepted cultures means also being accepted. Being "tolerant" in V2 doesn't mean everyone is accepted.
