Really electrolyzes my almonds

Things that currently affect AI propensity for rape:
>His/her traits
>His government type
>Cultural differences
>Religious differences (not if tolerant, extra if zealous)
>His religion
>Whether she's a nun (any type). Less likely if he's tolerant or same religion, more likely if not
>His opinion of her
>Whether she's a rival, criminal, or plotted against him
>Whether he's friends with any of her relatives
>Whether her liege+close relative is a friend or rival
>Her age
>Whether they're related

Anything I've forgotten, or any clever suggestions?

Right, I thought about that but forgot it again. Titles and claims will also be a factor. Thanks.

Proposition: savescumming is SOMETIMES cheating

I think a distinction needs to be made between "hard" and "soft" savescumming. For example saving before you fight a battle to get a god dice roll is hard savescumming because you do it a lot and intend to exploit the game. Soft though is like restarting the whole entire war.

Dont forget about diseases and traits.
Maybe revenge rape malus if your family member raped theirs

People do savescumming to outmaneuver the AI, which is basically cheating.

Mingifornia is actually pretty good looking all things considered

>Dont forget about diseases and traits
Already accounted for.

>Maybe revenge rape malus if your family member raped theirs
Good idea.

It's pretty ahistorical too.

>finally start prospering
>become king of Sicily
>get all my vassals to like me

for what purpose.

>Maybe revenge rape malus if your family member raped theirs
That's memey

Ottomans will surely win.

Nice meme mod.

Maybe, but not entirely unthinkable. Instead of a blood-feud it's a rape-feud. Any single modifier won't increase the chance dramatically by itself anyway.

uh oh

>Instead of a blood-feud it's a rape-feud.
That's the meme part. It would just be a blood feud.

D-don't judge my conversion b-baka!

Well, yes, but one could imagine that "They did it too!" would have at least a little weight when considering doing it.

called it

How the fuck do i deal with these constant pirates?

white and absolutely based

Wrong thread

wew

Stellaris is a gsg

is that stellaris or spore? i unironically cant tell

It's Spore.

Does it even have a general?

it doesnt have its own dedicated general and i dont know where it would find in the preexisting ones

Post it on /v/ then. Or go to civ4x, they take everyone.

Even if that was stellaris, stellaris has its own general.

holy fuck just thought of it

holy fuck yes now to kill that disgrace

I don't remember Greece being in Persia, and Turkey in Hedjaz

Based.

I'd say Spore is grand strategy when only considering it's scope. The spore galaxy has over 40k systems with visitable planets.
It actually feels like a galaxy unlike the galaxies generated in Stellaris.

>The spore galaxy has over 40k systems with visitable planets.
And every planet is the same and systems are smaller and less complex than a province in EU4. Grand strategy isn't about the number of shit in a galaxy.

pretty fucking white coming from fr*nce
also what the absolute fuck is this

Can anybody post Long After The End? I mistakenly posted in a dying thread last time.

The Winged Hussars did not arrive

getting bold

reminder Italians are sub human and should be subjected to the rightful Swiss rule

Why is your map all cloudy?

fog of war

I think it's pretty dumb that there isn't a strait here, considering all the meme straits in the base game that this mod left in.

Just got the Sinaasappel achievement. Started as Holland, got Austria and Denmark to help me make Burgundy fuck off, took Breda in the peace deal, formed the Netherlands, then colonised Suriname, Brazil, Luanda, Cape, Diego Garcia and Taiwan in that order.

Is it possible for scandinavia to get some cores on Karellia cuz of all the finns there, or do I just have to take it the normal way?

...

...

who /hugbox/ here

>playing vanilla
There's your problem

>1564
wow you're shit

I burned a lot of diplo points on diploannexing Friesland and Gelre, so I fell behind in tech and exploration ideas. Forced me to wait a while before I could colonise Suriname (since Portugal had already sniped most of the West African coast).

lad don't
there is no shame in being shit

What happened to all the old EU3 videos that used to exist on youtube? Like the ottoman isis nasheed 100% piety one. All i can find is eu4 videos which are usually rehashing the "pretend its call of duty and make an ironically bad montage" videos, which i cant find the originals of either just some new ones.

You're right, I am pretty shit.

I couldn't even conquer/client-state all of Europe in my Prussia/Germany run.

God this is so utterly broken

fuck off you passive aggressive twerp

That is not passive aggressive, I'm pretty sure hes acknowledging he is bad.

I'm not trying to be passive-aggressive, I'm admitting you have a point.

If I were less shit, I'd have been able to easily steamroll Russia when I fought them earlier, instead of signing a pathetic peace that only gave me a tiny chunk around St Petersburg to make a client out of. I'd have also gotten enough warscore with the Ottos that I'd have been able to kick them out of Constantinople and secured a foothold in Anatolia instead of the bullshit peace I made with them here. And Spain wouldn't exist.

My beautiful son Caelius.
I forgot that fucking video even existed, holy shit

On the plus side, though, I was able to use my surplus autism to make some alright themed flags for my clients.

who did you start as?

Rex Syagrius of Soissons.

hmm

shut up
did you hear me tell you that you may speak?

>Revolutionary Russian client state
>Uses Imperial Russian tricolor

the fuck is this

>waah why isnt it le hammer et sicklè
Do you have any idea how retarded you sound, EU4 redditor?

agree
case in point

>waah why does it use the imperial tricolour
>it should use the tricolour of the french empire
Explain this thought process in your head.

>implying I go on reddit
>implying I want to see a hammer and sickle in the early 1800s

All I'm saying is that it seems like a dumb choice of colours. I'd suggest red-white-blue pan-slavic colours, but it looks like those are already spent with the "Yugoslav Republic" there.

>being this desperate for approval
how pathetic

Six years after the death of my father, so passes my dear mother. May she find peace in whatever she believed in.

I was just mocking your near sighted historical ignorance with that hammer and sickle comment.
The red white blue combo was just as widely recognised with Tsarist Russia as the black yellow white was, neither is less inherently reactionary than the other. I believe you're making the mistake of viewing this through a modern lense, where the white blue red is the symbol of the Russian republic, but in the 18th century this wasn't the case, both were simply symbols of Russia and the Tsar.

The emergence of a new Christian empire south of Egypt is an interesting development.

A fair point.

>youre white
Baschten under weissoen.
Now move your capital to London and this playthrough is perfect.

Can't do that. However, I do have plans to make Britain a client state.

LAD, marry your sister to him, this was you meme on so many levels at once.
