Old Thread

Only take land in Asia. No Siamese Africa pls.

reminder to encourage bureaucrats.

It wasn't until based Stalin BTFO'd the multiculti cucks running it before him. But communist doctrine states muh tolerance muh diversity must be put above everything, their anthem eas the internationale.

Victoria 3/Good game set in antiquity when?

Reminder that if you hold the pope hostage and tell him to tell everyone that islam is right and to convert millions of people should convert to islam.
Reminder that the difference between a religion and a sect of a religion is the number of adherents not the different traditions and customs.

You don't get to choose, either you take a lot of their land regardless of where they are, some of their land regardless of where they are or none at all.

Whatever, me laddy mate. I haven't really gone full retard over this, genocide is still perfectly feasible, HPM just made it more tedious.
Just don't let them add shit like Persians.

>me laddy mate
Yeah you're definitely him.

>his son is blonde haired blue eyed and doesn't even realize it's mine
Literally reverse Dale Gribble

why would "me laddy mate" give someone away? everyone says that. I say it to my friends irl

Yeah, he should just release the African lands he gets offered.
Genocidelad? Yeah, I never denied that. I'm not the guy who said there are no downsides to genocide though, but those are already simulated, you lose pops, you lose taxes, you lose industry points, it's purely for RP, which is why I can't understand why HPM is desperate to "nerf" what is essentially already a nerf.
Show culture map. Are you gassing the Gauls?

He's the only one saying "waaahhh it's boring" too.

What if I told you China was more religious than Turkey by the time of the Chinese civil war?

For a bit the game wasn't sure if it should flip Romano-Gallic to Roman or Latin.

You can keep pedelling this false dichotomy of there only being a single retard mad at the genocide change but I've seen at least two other retards that aren't even me complaining about it.
Close your castles in Italy so your unemployed smiths are forced to migrate to France.

Eastern Emperor is STILL imprisoned. Why doesn't the AI ever try to ransom themselves?

>Confucians/Taoists are more religiously fervent than muslims.
I'd say you are a prime candidate for euthanasia.

When are you reuniting the two empires? Do it under Emperor Wilhelm.

Literacy doesn't equal secular in muslim society.
Just because the government has a tolerance policy doesn't mean people tolerate the government.

I might actually name one of my heirs Viliemus.

there already is a viccy 3 AND a good game set in antiquity
it's called NEVER EVER

To actually answer your question, I think I'll try reuniting the Empire in the next hundred years. I just don't know the best way short of inheriting a claim (unlikely). I'd need for this guy to have a daughter.

If we were talking about modern times than yeah, but we're talkinga about the early 20th century here.

do it me lad

you cant stop the willy wanking!!

you cant stop the willy wanking!!

you cant stop the willy wanking!!

Guess who posted this

Why would you want a victoria game that's not set in the victorian era?

>in the early twenty century knowing how to read the koran would mean you would stop believing in it and would become an atheist
Stop pretending to be a retard. You want to cheat, fine, just don't pretend there's any logic to communists accepting everyone because of some propaganda the russians did about their de facto russian-supremacist country.

Trying to play CK2 as Croatia in the 768 start, but I just can't last more than 15 years or so.

My problems are Avar to the north, Bavaria to the west, Bulgaria to the east, and even my own people when I try to convert to Christianity.

>I need to take slovenia immediately or they get gangbanged and I have no hope of getting 51% of de jure Croatian land.
>to do that I have to stay pagan, so I can have the subjugation CB
>once I take Slovenia, if I convert, I die to rebelling vassals. If I manage to actually fight the rebels, Bavaria or Bulgaria will declare war on those rebels and steal my land.
>If I don't convert, Avar kills me, because I don't have the rest of Christianity protecting me
How the fuck do I play well as a Croat?

Complete shot in the dark here but for some reason I feel like it would be the same person who posted this

Literally what the fuck are you even talking about, the only thing I've said is that China was more religious than Turkey in the early 20th century.

tee hee silly boys
>unironically wanting victoria 3 after the abortion that was HoI4
Imagine being this retarded.
>playing before 1066
Back you go.

No genocide because I needed all the pops to fight russian-british forces in india. I might do it in the 30s though.

I took everything for ports + I want to reorganize africa into adopting my religion.
I wanted to form Raj too, but Germany took like 2 states that I needed to pass the decision.
I think I will release most of africa to burn off all the infamy and then try fixing my asian bordergore if it's even possible.

kill the religious minorities. SEA must be purified to reach nirvana.

What the fuck are your accepted pops even, dunno how you aren't having rebel trouble

He has one though?
Marry her to your heir's heir, and unite Rome under Wilhelm.
make his meme that he loves renaming shit after himself, believing himself to be like alexander.
then have a period of "dewillyization" after him, where everything is renamed back to it's original name.

This 0.3.8.4?

How is the Prophet (PBUH) doing?

>What the fuck are your accepted pops even
Just Thai
Fascist dictatorship let's you keep miltancy permamently at 0 by passing and revoking reforms,

Yes, also latest HPM
My initial trouble was that HPM events increased liferating in my colonies above the liferating in my capital so they kept outbreeding me, but now after annexing most of the british empire my primary pop doesnt even show up on the pie chart

The great Mirza has done very little to uphold his claims of being God's final Prophet -- although it seems he has much life left in him, so it remains to be seen what the total impact of this upstart religious movement will be. Sandwiched between the great Eastern Roman and Persian Empires, however, it's not looking good for the Arabs.

How do you play V2 without genocide? Do you just blob and witness your nation getting less and less pure with every expansion?
Jesus, I could never play in such a reddit manner.

pls release it all

Still not sure what this modifier even is

See Release all non continuous parts, except Ceylon.
>mirza
Wait, did they really make Muhammed dynamic?

>"Vah-"
What's that, where are the Sassanids?

Means he doesn't want you trying to unite the empire.
If you get a favour from him you can force him to accept.

Is forming greater mongolia in HPM and taking all your cores even possible, not sure how you'd do it

See but release Bengal and Assam on top of it

See but release vietnam as well

so how do I ruin my country enough to do this

It's the catch-all "I don't want this for ~reasons~"
Usually means he wants to invade you or you might get a claim on his titles

>smallest possible lines
lad

Why not just make it all Turkish?

Better now?

Paradox color mod guy here

Give me more countries whose color in CK2/Vicky/some EU4 mod looks better than in vanilla EU4

Because
>5.67m
>341
>254

No, lad, I was saying they were patricianadios es fuarko. You've fucked it now, delete your save.

...

Homogeneity > everything else

should I annex the baltic states as Germany or should I unify them and make them my puppet?

take Crimea too

what the fuck? when i hover over this text i get the "hand" pointer icon seen when you hover over pics. if i click it your text gets shrinked and only goes back to normal if i click again?

is it only happening to me (a virus)? or is it a global bug?
is Veeky Forums kill?

what font does Veeky Forums use
thanks

There needs to be a mod where I can ransom this guy and get a favor for it. Mods aren't cheating, right?

Is this guy really supposed to be an Ottoman general
Once Great Wars are invented, yeah, I might.
hmm sweaty there's this thing called irony not sure if you've ever heard of it but it's a really interesting subject to look into the so called "web" xx

when will you quit posting this

>that blue strip of land
the greek race shall live on

Like what?
Look into my eyes, you see compromise? Your follective demise will see our rise!

>strip
It's a dot that was 55% Greek, 45% t*rk

Why are all V2 players such fucking faggots? First Genocidelad, now AtaTurk, what is it about that game that causes such autism?

"full cultural rights" should reduce assimilation instead of increasing it i believe, similarly to how accepted cultures get a penalty to assimilation.

maybe give an extra -0.01 to militancy to make up for it.

the greek race shall live on

Good idea. Also, genocided areas should get an immigration attraction from all the free homes, farms, and jobs there, to repopulate the land.

reloading the save RIGHT NOW and extending the end date just to finish the job

...

For CK2, instead of just blobbing the map. Is it nearly as effective to just keep surrounding, smaller tributaries? I don't really want to vassalize them, but I'm not sure I really like how the tribute's leader dies and I have to go to war with them all over again

I guess I'm trying to ask how to get the vassal system in EU4, I just like it better than having my color everywhere and another vassal intermingling and declaring war on them all the time

Oh hell yes. No cheating even necessary. Friends, we may very well see a united Rome once more. And then, after it's enjoyed its honeymoon period, it will crumble.

>60M pops

How did two geniuses make this

...

>going over the infamy limit as a tiny shitter
umm laddiums

Nevermind I'm not a genius, just my wife. But still.

This is complete bullshit.

When Muscovy changed to Russia, they rivalled me, when they had been over 80 in relations and happily allied to me all this time.

Not to mention the Teutons just broke their alliance too.

Now I have a hostile Russia, Teutons, Ottomans and Spain. An Austria, Poland, and Lithuania as enemies.

Just when I was about to ally with Bohemia and France, Bohemia falls under Saxoy in PU, and Austria will beat them in the succession war, so now I'm toast.

The league war will be so lopsided, I don't even wanna fight it.

ebin

Should have called her Wilhelmins.

The Empire of Persia and the Moabadan-Moabad have been reestablished.

>60M pops

Persia shall rise again like the past, a glorious empire built to last. Tell you this, ain't no great mystery, Shahanshah the great will go down in history!

>82 brigades
>3 armies

Holy shit @ this grossarmeniums

>it will crumble

What should I do?

Don't violate your pure Germanic bloodline.
unless its with an honourary east asian
marry wilhelm ii to a chink

Even after breaking up with me she lets me raise my son. Alpha mode unlocked

>be half honorary aryan
feels good man

once i realized that killing people only makes their parents hate you, ck2 lost its' magic

reminder to support and take part in shitposting

I wonder who could be behind this post

Behold the might of the German "War Machine"

Fuck off. You shitposters are the bane of this general.
whoever it is he is whito es basedo supremo
This is VERY unrealistic, The NGF isn't held back by South German untermensch so should be able to easily beat every nation in the world.
