How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, 27th of July:
1299 – According to Edward Gibbon, Osman I invades the territory of Nicomedia for the first time, usually considered to be the founding day of the Ottoman state.
1866 – The first permanent transatlantic telegraph cable is successfully completed, stretching from Valentia Island, Ireland, to Heart's Content, Newfoundland.
1900 – Kaiser Wilhelm II makes a speech comparing Germans to Huns; for years afterwards, "Hun" would be a disparaging name for Germans.

Lets do this again laddos. This time I know what to do so I don't get raped by the religious war

Are you allowed to blob as non white men since they did not blob IRL and so deserve to make up for it in games?

hey mate is it just me or if you have any over extention in M&T you get no manpower recovery

This is the most beautiful Austria every created.

buetifefel

Overextension reduces your max manpower, so you won't recover if you're above that new max.

based random 30 prestige event

Yes, overextension reduces your manpower cap and tax income. I think that it's supposed to simulate sending an army to police the occupied provinces or something like that

BUT you can demand a fuckton of manpower from the Greater Nobility for some 5 loyalty cost

useful infopic

How to change province cultures in M&T?

You don't accept the cultures you want to replace and simply let the game slowly integrate them into your main culture. Posting culture map at the start of the game because I'll need it as a reference for the future when all of this becomes Persian

uhh you dont get to bring friends

I dont have friends

Reposting from previous thread:

Thinking of starting a new run in EU4 as a Native American, but with a difference. Instead of sealing off the coasts, I want to conquer only the Great Lakes states of the US (Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio) and play tall, pumping lots of excess mana into Cahokia and Kaskasia (farmland provinces). I may conquer Euro colonised territory, but will carve it into buffer clients later where able.

What would be some good ideas to be taking for this, or starting nations? For idea groups, I know economic is essential, and Quantity complements it with the Economic-Quantity policy. I can probably ignore religious/humanist because of the low province count, but I might go Protestant at some point. As for nations, Shawnee starts with unique ideas, a strong position and 2 provinces, but Illini can migrate straight to farmland, and Potawatomi and Fox aren't much further. Iroquois is also nearby and has unique ideas if I feel like adding upstate NY to this miniblob, while I could alternatively cheese a migration with Cherokee and use them too, because of their fort bonus idea.

Why such a short this day in history, user?

oh boy sadly all of those provinces will turn into 100 autonomy (i.e useless) since they're far from the capital

You can go now, EU4 reddit babbys, your precious R&Infopic is dead.

>i.e. useless
They feed your estates money that the estates then use to build stuff, it's not a bad deal.

Reddit's favorite game is victoria 2 actually, we don't like EUIV much back there.

Is pakistan a formable nation in MnT?
If so imma do a pakistan run and make it Sikh as fuck

does that make eu4... ...white and based... ...woah

First time Milan playthough here. Goal is to form Italy. What are the best ideas for the Ambrosian Republic? Im about to pick my first idea group now.

That was fast

True, but it also makes the estates incredibly powerful, which then makes the negative penalties from both revoking and giving them privileges seriously damaging. I think that the revolt privilege gives about +8 revolt for every province they hold if they go above 50% influence, which is insane if you're playing a nation with 30% religious unity like mine. I had a lot of issues with estates in my last Persia game, but they did give me two times my manpower cap when I demanded it everytime so there's that as well

GEE SG, 12 THREADS?

Defensive ideas
Conquer north africa first, its easier

>combine a dozen autists each with their own brand of untried and untested austic personality disorder that makes them controlling as fuck
>surprised when everyone tries to force everhone else to use their thread

Here's why you're having manpower issues

Nice continent Anglo

Why's everyone playing reddit universalis?

You know what m8? That's a good idea.

Vanilla looks so small...

>implying overextension's going to stop me from blobbing my rightful cores

...

okay please stop playing reddit now

All of the southeast asian islands, including the philipines

Formosoa/taiwan

Sri Lanka

Madagascar

Australia and New Zealand

South Africa

Qatar and Bahrein

Japan

Eat Belgium, eat as much of the East Indies/SEAsia as possible, kick the Brits out of India and claim the Jewel for yourself, reclaim South Africa and go Cape to Cairo.

Japan is too far bro

whats fun to play in ck2

Try to form the kingdom of Khotan

This isn't EU4, you nigger.
See pic related.

I know this isnt
Git gud nigger
New Zealand, Philipines, and Australia are rightful Dutch Indonesian clay

Japan are also island niggers and must be under the dominion of the swamp niggers

The Swamp Nigger is the rightful overlord of all Island Niggers

>Philipines
Nice EU4 blob. Why don't you take all of China as well?

They arnt island niggers
So no

Why not take the entire eastern hemisphere?

Because he's not good enough at the game lmao

Is the Heavenly kingdom Catholic or Prod? I hardly think the Pope would be happy with an upstart Chink claiming he was the brother of Christ.

It's an absolutely bizarre form of Protestantism.

I mean in liqqy.

See

Is there a mod to get rid of this stupid fucking face from the game?

>not even the worst face

Economic, Quantity, Diplomatic, Expansion, Quality, Influence, Espionage, Innovative. Not in that order, but you'll need influence and espionage to handle big, rebellious vassals and client states.

Back in common sense before corruption I teched diplo tech for 30 bird mana.
Several times in a row.
I immediately went from like dip tech 7 to dip tech 23 and built a fleet of threedeckers

>Economic, Quantity
I second these two because of the dev cost from econ and the dev cost policy.

>but you'll need influence and espionage to handle big, rebellious vassals and client states.
You can bring their liberty desire by developing a bit in them.

>paradoax

So what is?

>are you frustrated?

Bravo, Johan.

The fat white guy. The one with 3 chins that you see just cucked you for the 3rd wife and the has given birth to all 3 of the emperrs heirs.

He also needs to be bald, or have that really bad comb over.

This triggers the autist.

Can I play EU or HoI on my phone?

HoI4 is a mobile game.

But hes changing that

For fucks sake, lad, I was trying to summon him. It would have worked had you not said anything.

>tries to realize leopold's autistic ambitions

Is there a way I can act against my council during a regency in CK2?
I died during a Crusade but finally had a son with my lesbian wife when my matrilineal daughter's eldest was 13, so now I'm stuck with a 138/8 demense and a council that refuses to let me distribute any land and I don't want to sit like this for 12 more years

Another low energy meme. Is all this one sentence shit in here you?

grorious

Not really, laddo, I just need a government with planned economy that can gas.

t. two sentence pro

Northumbria was a mistake.

rule the world

couldn't you have gone absolute monarchy and then appoint a socialist party with planned economy?
didn't know the commie flag for belgium looked that good

>119/71
why the FUCK are you recruiting soldiers that you will kill in a decade?

>playing with Conclave on

First mistake.

Socialists can't control absolute monarchies, only constitutional and semi-constitutional ones.

>those flemish pops vs walloon pops
Holy shit, did Flanders get the baby boom event?

There is nothing you can do but look on what is going to happen as something that would realistically happen if you had a 140 domain in 12 motherfucking 42.

Well, nuts
I just wanted to release Andalusia from Umayyad control, but none of the other Crusaders could actually fight the Saracens competantly

Crusader states fell to bits all the time. It's a shitty thing to happen because of a game mechanic that has suddenly worked against you but see if you can get your RP and headcanon on and imagine something out of it.

>see if you can get your RP and headcanon on and imagine something out of it
I'm already doing that

I love this general

I have until 1453

>those states

Yeah, there's farmland, but also lots of woods and savannah. Not exactly ideal. It'd be like making a tall Ireland.

Better than tall greenland though.

This is the sort of autism I love. Cheers for the link m8 got something to read at work now.

You're a good person.
