Sad!

>1918 – Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his immediate family and retainers are assassinated by Bolsheviks at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, Russia.

no! nicky!

>About half a mile further on, near crossing no. 185 on the line serving the Verkh-Isetsk works, 25 men working for Ermakov were waiting with horses and light carts. These men were all intoxicated and they were outraged that the prisoners were not brought to them alive. They expected to be part of the lynch mob,[117] and were hoping to abuse the women before killing them.[118] Yurovsky maintained control of the situation with great difficulty, eventually getting Ermakov's men to shift some of the bodies from the truck onto the carts.[117] A few of Ermakov's men pawed the female bodies for diamonds hidden in their undergarments, two of whom fingered Alexandra's genitals.[118][117]
Based bolsheviks

Why is it all wrinkled? Post the .png or don't post at all.

...

wait until based socialists and fascists emerge and encourage their party loyalty.

or let reactionary rebels win so they add a king or a dictator.

what the fuck that's too mean

nice old thread faggot

Yeah, if you play as Shogunate you make Qing release Korea and then annex as much as you can. It's not easy because they'll just invade with their navy but micromanagment can really do it. It's a huge plus to have Korea as states early on.

I do not recognise the legitimacy of R&Infopic threads and thus refuse to post them in my OPs.

Seriously though, is there anything more revolutionary than fingering the corpse of the former Tsar's wife? The revolution succeeded purely based on the fact that was allowed to take place.

Which one would you finger lads Nicky included

Reminder to migrate, lad.

no.

/pol/ is Drumpfie-supporting ancaps who's extent of 'toning down degeneracy' is introducing more capitalist shit. That isn't fascism.

/leftypol/ is the regressive left who want LGBTBBQ, trannies and other shit. They're LARPing middle-class kids, not communists.

carbon-copy ass niggas need to find yo ass some hobby

>muh not real fascism
>muh not real communism

Fascism and communism don't mean 'things I don't like'.

What would a predominately Altaic, Jewish culture situated in central France even be called? What would be like? I've been trying to think about it for the eventual conversion but I'm still coming up blank.

/leftypol/ is supposed to focused on class rather than identity, and it was the last time I went there regularly. That was back when the board was only getting ~200 regular users though, to be fair.

Do I want to do a mega-campaign as Jerusalem or the Latin Empire?

good post

Is R&I dead?

Viss 2

Siegfried, while the rest of his Prussian brethren were occupied with a Polish incursion into Romanuv lands; engulfed the surrounding tribes. After quelling initial resistance he solidified his power base in the region and looked to expand eastward, but failed, twice, losing 15 years of his life and tens of thousands of men. But on his third attempt to subjugate the eastern tribes he succeeded, and in the coming years proceeded to murder nearly all local leaders and replace them with his kin. But only after one year of peace and tranquility, and after handing out titles to all his sons The Black Death struck the kingdom. The Plague obliterated his newfound kingdom, and killed all of his children, save one, his youngest and least favorite son. The middle child (with perfect fucking stats and traits) nearly survived through the year long plague but sadly died 1 month before it ended with no children. Siegfried forced to cannibalize his friends while pent up in his keep and unable to cope with the death of his loved ones went stark and raving mad. His rule while glorious will end on a sad, arbitrary, and inept note.

Also, Christianity is getting fucked. If Iberia is lost I'm going to convert to Sunni Islam.

make this game go completely Islamic and have Christianity dead by the end

Anyone have the link for aarnon's france aar?

Yes, I do.

>3 heirs in a row we're secret catholics
How do i stop this madness?
Fuck you Johan, you should this the shit you add to the game before releasing it.

Primitive? 0% westernized?
Is this working as intended?

I'm this guy I had to restart my campaign because of this

Just disable it secret cults, it's the only way.

Yes.

Oh please HPM bring us more redditors. PLEASE!

And I think this is it for today.
If Madagascar and the nearby Japanese islands became independent in 1916, it'd be majority Shinbutsu, with over a quarter of its population being Japanese and 1.3% being French.
Guess I'll come back to this save once I get some good province names, a good flag and some custom flavour for it.

Guy plays reddit mod, spends 5 years at war with North Germany to get them to drop out of GP so he can sphere them.

Watch from 52:00 onwards.

That's not HPM though..

That mod is a blessing.That way redditors go to the forums instead of here and stop bothering alex

You can turn all those off in the settings so you can keep the one or two good things about the DLC.

Yeah sure antifatalexidf

woah haha i love bombermod now

If you want to make something useful out of this, count every culture's pops and sort every nation by the amount of its accepted pops the world has.

Never forget

WHAT THE FUCK

Name a single good thing about monks & mystics.

The ability to randomize names
Maybe the ability to hide your religion

youtube.com/watch?v=GN2JUMrCFe0

HPM still didn't explain what caused this.

>I assume it's the result of the GPs enforcing their wargoals on Egypt and that you weren't able to make them surrender fast enough. Or it's a map mod. I didn't touch that part of NNM

Whats the difference between Beiyang and nationalist China?

Invaders

Beiyang is the government of nationalist china.

>Or it's a map mod
No map mod, straight CCHM.
>I assume it's the result of the GPs enforcing their wargoals on Egypt
AI didn't have any wargoals, and infact enforced my "Make Puppet" CB.
>and that you weren't able to make them surrender fast enough
I don't know what this means, but they did surrender.

Secret religions are completely broken, you can turn the abbasids zoroastrian in one generation.

If the're the same thing how come the're two separate tags in vicky2?

He added this to the game because it was "more realistic." Stupid I know

You did something wrong, since that doesn't happen commonly(or ever).
Again, it's something carried over from NNM.Not his fault, and for all we know you just changeowner'ed those provinces to cause drama.

I'm not complainging about it I just genuinely have no idea how it came about, it's not even broken code, I literally can not find reference to anything that would cause this in the code, it's a complete mystery. I kept expecting to see
>controller = TUR
>secede province = TUR
But the knky vaguely relevant thing I could find was something that gives you all your cores (the entire levant), which again doesn't make sense because I don't have cores on these random provinces.

What are the two tags? And no they aren't exactly the same thing, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beiyang_Army for more on that.

Fucking lmao, that redditor is stealing from bombershitmod now

Like he said, it's probably something related to the AI's wargoals.Maybe you had those provinces occupied, then the AI liberated the rest?

>can stop global trade from spawning entirely because it checks your capital trade node instead of your home trade node
epic

>for all we know you just changeowner'ed those provinces to cause drama.
Lad, I'm not that type of autist.
I'll tell you the exact sequence of events:
1. I invaded Egypt after the crisis event.
2. I called Prussia in.
3. Prussia became war leader.
4. I occupied Cairo
5. Prussia enforced "Make Puppet" CB and I get those borders.
6. A year later I get "Egyptian surrender and annex them and it's fixed.

This isn't to start shit, as it all fixed itself anyway, I just want to know what could have caused it. As you can see from pic attached it wasn't to do with occupation as I got parts of Jordan I didn't occupy and lost parts of Syria I did occupy.
AI had no wargoals, sole wargoal was make oippet which got enforced.

That's revolting. How can bolsheviks even be considered people?

Daily Autism upgrade. If anyone has anymore hpm stuff send it my way

>prussia rhodesia standard
Post it pls.

stop responding to him. look at the filename. do you think that he would download his own V2 screenshots?
he's just trying to get easy (You)'s.

Do you happen to have a save before/during the province screwup?
>AI had no wargoals, sole wargoal was make oippet which got enforced.
I meant that sometimes AIs intervene on the crisis on their own through event, that didn't happen?

do as said.
Also, fill the uncolonized blanks in the religion map

You said this before, laddo. And I explained to you I was redownloading them from the archive because I was unsatisfied with the conclusion reached.

Tell me, why are you so damn paranoid about this? I found a potential glitch that I don't know the cause of and at every possible opportunity you tell me I'm lying or trying to start shit, bitch, of I wanted to do that I'd just post a grossgermaniums and watch Robbie lose his mind.
I don't have a save, I only even have one manual save and the three autosaves from games because I hate the sidebar being full of saves and I never bother deleting them. There were a few "x supports the empire" events, but none actually joined the war or declared on either myself or Egypt.

...

>downloading from archive
you are lying. there is no point to do this.
>no save
how convenient

In HPM China has three tags, CHI- China, TPG - Taiping, and KMT-nationalist China. I known what the difference between a Qing or Taiping China would be,I was asking because I wanted to know whats the difference between choosing the other two.

>You said this before, laddo.
I'm the one who told you that the first time, not >I don't have a save
Pictures don't really help much, try to recreate it if you want to find out what causes it

Is there anything in the files of this type though, like, secede province to controller or some shit in the event make puppet is enforced?

>400 rebel brigades spawn out of nowhere

He did.
>I assume it's the result of the GPs enforcing their wargoals on Egypt and that you weren't able to make them surrender fast enough. Or it's a map mod. I didn't touch that part of NNM.

kys frogposter

See

he's lying so stop responding

>AI didn't have any wargoals, and infact enforced my "Make Puppet" CB.
That's a straight out lie. The AI can't enforce your make puppet CB because the AI can't enforce that for you. They get free people CB and they enforce it during the crisis.

shouldn't northern ireland be more catholic than protestant?

>the event make puppet is enforced
That only changes government and adds militancy
There are multiple mentions of seceding provinces to OE but it's always (all of) their cores
Who cares, do you have anything better to do in this dead thread?

I grabbed the maps from yesterday someone posted them

Beiyang was the government from 1912 to 1928, which then changed to the Kuomintang party (hence the tag being KMT) after the Beiyang government was overthrown.

Beiyang china just refers to the time when the Beiyang government ran china. If you're interested in more, just read the intro to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_China_(1912–49)

Now that GoT is out, which country should I play for a full Stannis feel? Unironically. Presidential dictatorship UK gives you your own Cromwell banner so maybe that.

Thanks for being the only one trying to answer my question but what I really want to know is what effect siding with either has in game. No one but HPM himself probably knows though because the average /gsg/ poster could never get that far as China without getting frustrated and going back to playing as gross germaniums\epic sudd afrika

>Game of normies

Why HPM hates native americans so much, lads?
