Is Romanon still doing his campaign of this?

How the hell do I get South Africa as the Dutch in HPM?

Yes, but I'm going to finish this Vicky game first.

How do I go about playing Egypt in vicky? Mainly, how do I not get curbstomped by all the Great Powers?

You need to increase militancy for fascists.

Great
How should I go about that?

This. Just avoid passing reforms and stuff
In your war with Belgium, britain will join in. Ticking warscore from Belgium occupation will let you add it as a goal and take it

Allowing yourself to be besten in war and occupied by minors is the easiest way.

does 2.01.02 include 2.01.01 or do i have to install both?
pls no bully

So should I let the commies win or do you mean an external war?

白人

Increase relations from day 1 with France. They'll sohere you and defend you from the other mean GPs.
Well, I mean, war exhaustion from them would help your militancy rise, but you shouldn't let them win.
Maybe allow them to occupy a dozen provinces, but DO NOT let them get your capital.

I spent 5 hours on this, all wasted. Fucking kill me.

I really wish I could take Gansu and Inner Mongolia, but hpm doesnt like you taking chinese states

Why did you delete your last post? I tried to press the image and it said file not found.

I fucked up the crop beyond belief

How did that even fucking happen

>be in a relationship with Prussia
>gave up all my influence on the minor german princes
>help them beat France and Russia multiple times
>after they form the German Empire they ditch our alliance for UK

I feel heartbroken and cheated.

Might as well take most off the Turk empire while you are at it

Dide you see my suggestion to take Cape to Cairo?
In reality, Lusaka to Lahore.

I opened up the paint borders to paste crop and repaste and then didn't close them.

they want the big anglo cock too much lol ur a dirty slav shitter

Does anyone know how to mod graphics? units, map, interface, fonts? or at least know where to start?

>open gfx
>edit shit
woah
Also, why are you not using the new thread?

Gonna finish India, then I'm done. Fun lil game.

You need steel railroads, military logistics, and machine guns.
None of which make any sense. Grandi just going full retard as usual.

>This is the power of the British Navy

>didnt even genocide the indians
goos to see made it tonight

So I wanna get into grand strategy games, and I'm interested in the WWII ones, I've heard Darkest Hours is a good starting point, so I was thinking about playing that, but I was wondering about what nation should I pick, I've heard the USA is pretty good for beginners.

YOU NEED SCREENS YOU FUCKING RETARD
>33% strength
Fucking retard.

That would be unaesthetic.

Sweet
By that time im sure the heavenly kingdom will be so far behind that it will be a stomp
Because tha square cutout is so unsightly

>I've heard Darkest Hours is a good starting point,
Who the hell have you been talking to, me laddy mate?

Lad, reply to my cape to cairo question, for fucks sake, three different threads I've asked the same fucking question.

You got kuked

/v/
what do you recommend then? I'd like to play something with a WWII theme

You'll get memed on, and I might even get memed on for suggesting it, but for a babby casual I'd redommend EU4. Once you WC as Ryuku then you can move over to the real games like DH, V2, and HoI3.

>Tfw have only played for 6 hours, already up to 1949
>someone would rather play HPM than simple modified Vanilla

Germany finally formed

Any fascist movements yet?
Were you really that Sharia law guy?
>tfw my über shitpost thread got r&i'd so i have to settle for this semi shitty one

>muh screens

No not yet

Well it's not WWII themed but I'll take it, it has a bunch of DLCs though, which ones should I use?

做得好。我肯你拍手啊,红毛。

I'm learning chinese btw.

It sucks because now I'm isolated diplomatically. Only fucking Belgium wants to ally with me.

Eh, it's Jewed beyond all belief, so I don't know what to tell you if you aren't pirating. We used to have an archive of ALL the games before buttmad reddit paradrones reported it and the person running it got v&.

Maybe do start with V2 then. Romanon seems to be getting on alright.

If you like wargames though I'd honestly go HoI3. But it is a war game and not really a grand strat, but it'll get you into the format.

Do KUKGTOW, meme on Russia and take Ukraine.

Austrian games are like, my fave, personally
Please give me credit for my sick KUK pun

If not a "I'm learning French" meme, I'm actually Chinese (not nationality but racial/cultural/lingually)

What was your greatest military fuck-up?

>0 casualties
clearly he doesn't

Alright here we go.

Every early game war ever in V2. Half of my brigades always die without fail due to them starting undermanned and attrition.

what is the name of this map mod again?

I am pirating, and it seems of the whole game with the all the DLCs is in cs.rin.ru so there's no oroblem there. There are just so many I don't know which ones to use.

I've heard that HoI3 is really complex.

They would have no damage if he added 20 screens.

Were you Sharialawlad?
If so, kill yourself.
HoI3 is tedious, not complex. It's the ultimate autism simulator. You manage your brigades into divisions into corps into armies into army corps into theatres, it takes a hell of a lot of time and is only to be played if you have extreme autism.
DH is showing it's age at this point, so if you want that be prepared for a very obtuse UI with almost no shortcuts and the shortcuts it does have are really fucking annoying to use, like pause break. And if you reassign it to space you then can't use space for anything else, it's just agony.

Conclusion: If you're autistic play V2, if you're a casual shitter play EU4, if you're an über autist play HoI3, and if you're an absooute casual wall to wall turbo babby then play hoi4 not recommended).

What the hell is this
I didn't read the event

Alright I guess I'll play EU4 for now. I'll just all the DLC too while I'm at it, it's not like anything could go wrong

get memed on cuckboi
You shouldn't have let the commies win that much. Is the FSA commie?

MMM or something, it's in the OP.

Yeah, the shady Russian sites are 100% safe, no danger there, lad.
hmm

I'll explain it to you if you say whether or not you were the Sharia guy

What? I've downloaded a bunch of shit from the site and I never had any problems with it. I don't feel like spending money right now.

I wouldn't liken it to Sharia, really. The system I have in mind is very different in both philosophy and in application. One of the closer analogues I can think of is the Roman Empire under Constantine, but that's on a much larger scale than I envision.

Based Sharianon dropping the DIVINE redpills

Genocide after the revolution
This is my testament to you, genocide lad, my dearest friend

Just started a Germany BICE campaign
Wish me luck laddos

hmmm
based
Some states declare independence when certain cities are occupied by rebels (of if you are authoritarian), just try to keep rebels only around the capital and declare on the secedeers just as they gain independence.

umm i dont like you know i know what an edgelord retard you are
Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? You'll be second in the ovens after the kikes.
I hope for ypu're sake you're on 0.3.8.2 or you're getting memed on big league.

>gee junk is so upset about romanon's ideology he's typing everything wrong

>I hope for ypu're sake you're on 0.3.8.2 or you're getting memed on big league.
Playing on the old version IS getting memeon retard, why the fuck would you play on such a fucked up version is beyond me

this is how bad it is
and im a national syndo-corprativist fasco-socialist
>waah muh niggers assimilating to yank as parakikes originally intended
Lad, they envisioned Yankee being a "melting pot", as it became in real life after the timeline.
I've no idea why I argue this point so devotedly, I myself use 0.3.8.4.

My checksum is GAJL because I was too lazy to update the mod after installing it. No clue what the version number is

>>waah muh niggers assimilating to yank as parakikes originally intended
>HPM literally released 2 versions to fix fucked up shit
>He still thinks it's one thing
>he thinks that paradox envisioned that afro-american would assimilate
>he still makes threads using an outdated version out of sheer butthurt

>people actually think romanon believes this
he's baiting all of you

the whitest the basedest deus kek mein kameraden
I'll be off now, me laddy mate, so the thread should get a well deserved rest. Gas those niggers from me. 14/88

D-do you still like me

These past two threads are a testament to why attention whoring people like romeanon should not be paid attention to. Bringing personal shit into the thread has just made the regular shitposting that much worse.

Romeanon and gjunk need to stop being fucking obvious and go back to being normal posters, these personas and the shitposting surrounding them is fucking awful.

We're getting this much closer.
Stop pretending to be me.

Ignore the user telling you to play EUIV. DH is a fine place to start. Play the period you're most interested in.

This is actually a pretty nice Europe. Africa turned out sexy as well.

"genocidelad" is a control freak that's ban evading to make these threads to obsess over "R&I" and put his favorite reddit/paradoxplaza mods in it

Show Africa. Can't be worse than mine.

Northern africa. France is kinda funky, but could be worse.

And the rest of Africa. I like that German East Africa, wonder who is going to end up taking Ethiopia, if anyone will.

stop false-flagging gee junk

Did UK make it to Cape Town? That tiny right-of-way headed south looks promising.

If anyone is following PI forum and want to report a bug for HoI4, I think I found one... Though it might be an old and know bug, but I just started playing.
In Research & production some nations can have a "Coastal defence fleet designer" as a naval designer, that reduces the prod by -25% on all ships. I tried it and it didn't work at all. Nothing happen when you pick it, speed the game or save and reload, the production cost of the ships remains the same as before, making it useless.

In addition, he had the bangingest of waifus. Diana Mitford.

Ah I was going to post this. She seems like a top tier sadist dom waifu.

Can you please shut up and neck yourself already? You and Romeanon. You're cancer incarnate.

Well, I got the Maritimes. That's all for tonight.

Sorry.

don't forget to release quebec
i'm learning french btw

>don't forget to genocide quebec
