what is the weirdest thing you have seen in a paradox game?
for me it's an orthodox Ottomans in eu4

Here lies radical centrism
Press F to pay respects

>How fucked up are the borders and wars of the AI?
Surprisingly it's one of the few things the mod does right. They keep everything pretty tidy and realistic, until a dismantlement happens or a superstate emerges, that is.

Can't really say what was the weirdest thing ever, but any steppe wolf-esque mod would fit.

In wich mod am i able to claim the golden circle as the CSA?

literally everything here was planned by me
was it autism

mod?

dead thread
dead games
dead genre

Seems pretty decent to me
It's also 2.5% Sunni Arab and 1.6%
Chinese
CWE.

Yes kind of, you can download the DLC off links in the OP and use the crack (creamapi) provided in it

if oswald mosley was voted in and sent you back to india then his free market policies caused a famine which killed your whole family then you went on to join the army and serve in the anglo-chinese war retaking hong kong and shanghai i would consider you british

Based

fact: gsg is the most powerful board

Fact: If you play BICE You have autism
hint: i'm playing Black ICE right now

is it a "build infantry + eng/art x10000 to win" simulator like hoi3?

le fact lol

(yes you read that right I have autism)

>be good little vassal
>do not scheme or plot or fabricate claims
>just own my little county and improve it
>hold feasts and fairs every now and then
>my king actually gives me some land
B A S E D

Cozy vassal mode is best mode. Slow expansion is super comfy.

No, it's a "organize your OOB for days and then do nothing" simulator
(i'm learning autism btw)

JUST
(i'm learning portuguese btw)

ugh I hate womyn they are too dumb to play gsg..

maybe we should ask based grandi to add women's rights to hpm

At long last, Liquor is my #1 export

Check the industry tab

reminder

womyn (see: mary keller) designed the counting machine you use to play spreadsheet games no hate

Also Mary was a nun, christians 1 atheists 0

>decision does nothing because I have no cores

Fantastic.

>GroBwhiteangloafrikkkums
Do this as rhodesia

Brazil is quite a case desu, in NWO they start with a shitload of craftsmen and good factories and end up growing to #2 industry pretty easily when on the player's hands, but in CWE he removed every single craftsmen outside Sao Paulo, made the craftsmen population in Sao Paulo smaller as well, and, as if this wasn't enough, he also removed every single capitalist, landowner and bureaucrat from it.
Also no third world country had electricity in 1946 apparently.

Rhodesia doesn't get the stupid assimilation modifier until it forms a union state.

This kills the hue

So if I were to buy CKII base game, could I pirate all of the DLC and then like add it onto Steam?

wtf i hate cwe now
i'm white portuguese (pardo) btw

Essentially.

How did you play as the UK until 1953?
I want to do a Biafra run but every time I go to the politics tab as the UK the game just crashes. Latest version too (uploaded yesterday).

Oh shit theres a new version? do you have the changelog?

Seems like he's extremely butthurt.
Every Brazilian province gets the extremely underdeveloped modifier too, that's worse than Ethiopia's starting modifier.

Is there a tutorial online for how I would be able to do that?

No changelog, he just reuploads the whole mod every time he makes a tiny fix. This one's is something about stopping wars with non-existent nations.

favela shitters btfo

download dlcs, unpack the archive in the 'dlc' folder
use 'dlc_activator.exe' from game root
play

Thank you user, will I be able to update my game with the pirated DLC as well and play online with it?

I fired the event in 1946 because I didn't want to fuck around for 5 years waiting, so there's that.

Which one?

Yeah. But any DLC update you will have to do manually, the same thing when new ones are released.

Alright, turns out you can't go to the politics tab on day 1, if you after day 1 everything seems to work fine bar this visual glitch that makes the moderate centrists have the same colour as socialists.

what's wrong anyway

Game crashes when going to the politics tab on day 1 as the UK in the new version.

based yeehaw poster

based based poster

Actually, just quit the game and start it again to see if the visual glitch would go away but it crashes on day 2 as well now.

Ah okay, so when a new DLC update hits do I just activate the DLC activator thing again?

how come most countries in CWE have such terrible budgets at the start? What's with the absymal admin? It's not just Spain. Is there a guide to this mod or something

The economy takes a while to get going because a lot of countries start with 0 tech in both starts

Mod is broken

Take all decisions that give you +tax efficiency, fund your bureaucracy as much as possible and use whatever excess you can scrounge up wherever you can. As your research improves you should be able to start properly investing in other shit.

how do you even become traditionalist in this game?

No. In fact, you don't have to worry at all unless they release new major DLC. That is because they release all DLC content (except for minor unimportant that doesn't even change the checksum) in basic game, the major 'dlcs' are but content unlockers (thus they never need to be updated), whilst irrelevant shit like somalian sprites never gets updated anyway.

based based based poster

Show map.

For some reason, in 90% of countries the traditionalists are Islamists, but in a couple (like the US and Spain) they represent reactionaries. I don't think even the mod maker actually knows what he's doing with the parties.

protip: islamists are reactionaris in their own countries

r8
Sorry for the shit handwriting btw

...

Yes but the confusing part is when the traditionalists are Islamists in some western countries, like Germany, representing the voting habits of islamic migrants, but in others it's a standard reactionary party, like in the US where it's "Old State's Rights Democrats" or something like that.
It's not consistent, is the problem
They could just add a reactionary ideology and properly split the group

I'm getting Vassal Inheritance Warnings and I don't know why
>Playing as Carpathian Empire
>My nephew (holds 1 county) marries member of the Holy Roman Empire
>she holds 1 duchy and 1 county
>their child is of my dynasty
>being told that upon his death my nephew's county will pass from my realm

Surely Carpathia should inherit the Roman duchy and county once my nephew's wife dies as her heir is of my dynasty?

pretty epic/10

That looks like numbers and stuff
8/9

nice

Populists, Nationalists and Traditionalists should just be one whole thing with a bunch of different parties with different policies for the new singular ideology. Then you can have a separate Radical Islam ideology that could represent shit like muslim immigrants and ISIS.

...

Just found mine.

Also how the absolute fuck is the UK such a big GP with all of its colonies gone?

How did you start mass-gaining White Anglos without the Black Anglos taking over?
t. fellow EAF campaign user

What the fuck is the difference between Interdiction and Ground Attack?

...

how to claim the golden circle in vic2? as CSA

The south of Africa shall be mine soon. I was thinking of going communist or fascist, yet when I checked their flags, I have changed my mind; they look absolutely horrible.

Republic is a really cancerous system though, should I get reactionary rebels to flip country to a monarchy?

>playing as (((Boers)))

stop

...

I dunno, they're huge as fuck somehow.

I noticed Black Anglos starting to eat my pops and removed them as accepted until they stopped.

My Black Boers are doing pretty well. I have 530k Boers currently.

Immigration + low literacy means they both breed like rabbits as they have family values modifier AND they also have loads of immigrants. Makes sense. Also how bad is the lag once you hit the 2000s?

So there's a decision for that, then? I haven't seen anything in my decision window.
