>would this NatPop Britain in the context of Hitlermod even keep the monarchy?
I'm trying to think about it, but if it does, it'd be begrudgingly and with the eventual goal to depose the monarchy completely, at which point it'd be then and only then that the flag would actually change. Kinda like Mussolini having to play the Constitutional Monarchy game because he had no power to completely take over the state aparatus to the point he could have done away with the monarchy.

AFPG, as the whitest and basedest member of our community, and thus, through our system of automatic meritocratic election, our president, where do you stand on the infopic v history debate? Are history posts W&B or is R&I W&B?

Yeah but if he could he would get rid of the monarchy

Plus I kinda imagine they'd blame everything (what would be the name, National Labour? Just Labour?) about the old establishment from the monarchy to the conservatives and 'champagne' socialists. Restore Edward VIII? He had German sympathies, and we said before NatPop would make itself distinct from German-Italian based fascism as a counterweight to it.

la plata

Doesn't look like a great city to live in.

????????

It is, trust me

thats hpm though

Nah, he won't reply to you if you call him gex, AFPG is truly white and truly based.

please, no closeups

It'd probably start as a faction within Labour, but should it splinter off "National Labour Party" has a nice ring to it. I agree, they'd probably blame both ends of the spectrum, from the Tories to the Whigs to the lukewarm Labour members. I don't think they'd restore any member of the nobility. National Populists are "People based", anti-elitists first and foremost, so they'd be very hostile to the idea of elites and that sort of things.

Yeah, that's the point I was making. The only reason he didn't is because he couldn't.

I don't want to meddle in thread drama, but I will say one thing. I do not enjoy thread war autism and fondly remember the times where the OP infopic or lackthereof was mostly ignored rather than a trigger of shitposting.

If it's about the flag, I haven't made flags for whatever that country is. And I'd say the country has no communist party for some reason, which is probably a bug.

>(((Shill)))uk
(((Doge)))poster BTFO

>If it's about the flag
No, it's just a funny meme.

Have you considered similar flags/movements for other countries in the context? I'd say if Spain is still under Franco than the National Syndicalist half of the Falangist would go for a full takeover, purge the Francoist reactionaries and adopt that one full red/black Falangist Spain flag you made.

Did you change the NGF flag?

It is.

Well that's something that's up to Hitlermod to implement. I only deal with flags and, as you said, they'd probably use the red and black one that's already in the pack.

Yeah, all four of them.

why does eu4 have a loading scren picture of Enrico Based Danadlo but he is from Ck2 time period

bump

part of me dislikes how civbabies make history memes so popular when I knew about enrico based dandolo before he was in any games

but they are good memes

because Paradox are lazy fucks and Googled 'Venetian Doge', took the first response and applied a Photoshop filter to it.

>but they are good memes

Well they need someone to represent venice.

I thought maybe he was immortal trait

>Yeah, all four of them.
Recently?And I meant specifically the communist one, last I saw it was just red blackground with something german written on yellow

What do you think to Hitler looking dismissively? Is that a good meme?

>What do you think to

What's your favourite dish?

Are you argentinian?

Are you white?

Are any of you real?

no

Yeah, that was my doing. I know it looks awful from a purely aesthetic point of view, but I kinda like that sort of old timey commie flag, of the sort that always had lots of text in it, and I felt my pack didn't have enough of those kinds of flags which were so popular amongst the first Communists. Plus I took it from KR and kinda liked that.

Do you remember that time I asked you to state your political ideology and you said it would cause shitposting so I asked you to without your trip on and got about two dozen replies from people pretending to be you?
Were any of them you?

Yes.

Are you based?

Based

I like them as well but I think it doesn't really make much sense reallistically speaking.If communists who used a flag like that were able to take power, they would most likely eventually change it to a 'real' flag.
You should keep it, but can you at least make an alternate version

what the fuck is that gradient shit how long did it take you to make this

Is there any point in joining societies in this game at all? Fellowship of Hel basically allows you to increase your stats quite a bit, and live a pretty long time once you've reached the highest rank.

>how long did it take you to make this
I would guess about 5 minutes in photoshop

Layers and erasers in paint.net lad, took a few more minutes than just screenshots

>If communists who used a flag like that were able to take power, they would most likely eventually change it to a 'real' flag.
Well, you could argue that's already what happens ingame since the NGF is basically a Germany to-be, so you could say NGF communists seek to become a real proper Communist German nation-state, under which circumnstances they'd then change to a proper State flag.

>can you at least make an alternate version
Yeah, of course. I admit the reason I put the text flag to begin with is a very idiosincratic and personal one, so I can understand if people would prefer to have the option of using a more aesthetic one. Do you have any suggestions? I seem to recall someone saying the USSR wanted their Germany to have the imperial tricolour instead of the Weimar one. That could be an interesting lead to follow.

why did you spam that thread? are you part of the weeb mafia?

>Dixie majority
How do I do this?

The satanists are a bit of a risk and I'm not sure how much they help if you have the fantasy stuff turned off, the monastic order just keeps begging you for more money and the Hermetic order adds some bonuses for learning but I'd say is most useful because of the possibility of brewing potions to get rid of stress and depression. I've gone with the Hermetic order on a number of occasions but only tried the other two once each.

Thoughts?

>I seem to recall someone saying the USSR wanted their Germany to have the imperial tricolour instead of the Weimar one

Please do this.

>I seem to recall someone saying the USSR wanted their Germany to have the imperial tricolour instead of the Weimar one. That could be an interesting lead to follow.
I think that's because they wanted an 'east german'(closely related to prussian) identity, but when the west chose the current tricolour they decided to use the same so they would have some legitimacy in claiming to be the true germany.It could be interesting to expand on this and make a flag for nationalistic prussian commies

Hold the fuck up a second, how come Brazillian fascists are white but Brazillian communists are black?

*white and based

Daily reminder that Johann sees you as nothing but a hole. He doesn't love you and all that nice stuff he says is just bull shit he tells to all the other neckbeards.

Because commies are niggers
or because its an afro brazilian brigade

wtf I hate Johan now

I'll skip the one on the left because the pack already includes a similar one for republican Germany. As for the one on the right, I may include it under some modifications. I don't want it to be just the GDR with the Imperial tricolour instead, but I'll probably do something to that effect.

white men

Because realism? Why would the fascists be nogs? Why wouldn't the commies be from an """oppressed""" group?

hi redit

hi tumblr

After the ACW I edited the save to remove Yank as an accepted POP, and later wrote a decision to remove FSA cores so Yanks would assimilate just as Dixies assimilate in the regular ACW. Had to savescum to avoid the regular ACW though.

hi redit.

Maybe take some inspiration from North Korea's flag? Juche is how I imagine a still Prussian-focused Germany would be like as a communist state. Lots of militarism, cult of personality, etc.

>realism

One is an Afro-Brazilian regiment, the other is Brazilian. That's all there is to it.

>I edited the save to remove Yank as an accepted POP, and later wrote a decision to remove FSA cores
Yeah, I tried pretty much the same thing once but gave up once I realized I needed to cheat to have a fun game.The whole alternate ACW is really stupid, can't wait for HPM to change all that

>tfw keeping concubines pumping out children so I can keep absorbing their life and live longer. My son is 55 at the moment so there's a good chance I'll outlive him.

The game doesn't allow seducing your own grandchildren, but how about grandchildren's children?

North Korea's flag is very Korean itself, with the use of the circle for example. I shouldn't take inspiration from it, it's too alien to the NGF. I think I'll stick to a tricolour design, probably the old black white and red, defased by some form of CoA. I've yet to decide on this subject though.

The MOMENT you take pro-slavery decisions, it should, through country_flags, steer the way towards a civil war where the North secedes. Not having to do all this gamey shit.

>t. paradoxplaza pro
What? /r/paradoxplaza would say it's systematic racism on Paradox's cis white behalf.
