How'd they get so much infamy?
Genocides, nuke projects?

lmao
No idea, this is the first time I check them in a while. I'm pretty sure I used to have 200 relations with them a decade ago, just like any other capitalist nation.

Gonna be doing a grand campaign starting as Asturias in Charlemagne. Should my ultimate goal of the CK2 period be to establish the HRE?

t. /gsg/

60030

Establish the HRE in Iberia and North-West Africa, leave France and Germany as a bunch of duchies.

I'm not trying to covertly start posing TW in this thread, but basically total war is the only other on going grand strategy game because its focused on history instead of raw gameplay and exploration

Believeble worlds

no but pols

TW isn't really focused in history. Focus is on conflict and the tactical battles. That's why you have win conditions such as conquer most of europe as the HRE. That isn't historical, that's an attempt to encourage conflict, the main part of the game

Looks like Germany finally ran out of men but holy fuck that took a long time. They've lost another ~1.4 million in Salzburg too.

>Zulu bantustan is whiter than South Africa itself

There's 2 gs games where you can build tall, if TW isn't GS than EU isn't either

Alright, loose goals for campaign, mind acquire more if weird shit happens during the campaign
>reconquer the Iberian peninsula
>conquer morocco
>inherit/conquer italy and form HRE
>try my best to shatter the karling kingdoms so they remain small and under the influence of the HRE spain

>if TW isn't GS than EU isn't either
Glad we got that cleared up.

>taking Austrian lands as pasta

That's not how it works but whatever you want to believe. The fact that TW has win conditions which are basically conflict, that the whole purpose of the other mechanics is to sustain conflict and the fact that factions are picked or left out to sustain conflict and are balanced around gameplay so they are more or less on an even field speaks of the true nature of TW

>inherit/conquer italy and form HRE
Forgot you needed that for HRE, good luck. Hopefully it doesn't end up as a King-Bishop like it did for MCL.

You'll essentially be trying for Spain with Naples circa 1500 I guess?

With the Byzantines still controlling lots of Sicily in Charlemagne, I'll probably only loosely manage Italy if I even decide to keep it at all. It's a good thing to have if I ever need to protect Christendom from Slavs or Tengris (since the karlkucks are gonna be as small as I can make them)

The main purpose of EU is conflict, and all of EU4's achievements are based on conflict

Social reforms make a major hit at overall admin efficiency and admin techs don't affect it in any way. I was at ~93% admin efficiency when I took that pic.

I haven't seen the Karlings last in my past few games, usually that dynasty in Bavaria takes over. The Alisghscsfgslings.

Achievements are not win conditions and not all of them are based on that.
EU doesn't have a "purpose". Not like TW. There's no win condition.

In my last game they never inherited Italy, received no help from Francia, and ended up completely squashed by pagans. I'll probably have to take steps to prevent them inheriting Italy and growing too powerful.

No, it's not.
You guide your country and do whatever you want.Sure, anything but conflict is boring, but that is a result of the game being badly made, not that it's not a gsg

alright then because TW is disqualified because it has win conditions, can you name me some non-paradox GS games?

At least Francia formed. It's curious how it goes completely one of two ways with no reasonable in-between.

G'night, I'm looking forward to seeing updates from your playthrough anyway.

release your mod gex

>Blobbing into Austrian lands north of Bozen
End yourself

Occupy all of Germany.
Make them a secondary power.

alright so basically only paradox has ever produced grand strategy games because empire earth and TW have too much combat

I'll probably start posting tomorrow.

While you were releasing Schlewsig Holstein, I was annexing Warri.

While you were researching muzzle loaders, I mastered medicine.

While you wasted your time fighting France over Elschab Lotheringen in pursuit of vanity, I cultivated my gross africanums.

And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate, you have the audacity to come to me for help?

That's not even the worst of it.

I'll probably just dismantle them. Even if you occupy them for years they'll bounce back to a GP almost instantly.

This actually made me laugh a bit, I like this post

t. romanon

not if you occupy them for like 2 years, their economy goes to the shitter and they lose all prestige, their industry goes to hell, pop needs go up and pop savings go down, capitalists can't afford to reopen factories, no one immigrates, artisans have to kickstart the economy, rebellions will start eventually

do that, then dismantle them

Only acceptable if you formed Italy as Corsica, and have French as accepted.
Get all french cores and annex Switzerland, then blobbing into Austria is ok senpai

I didn't release any indian minors to lose infamy, or cheat or exploit in any way this playthrough. Just got really lucky with uncivs not civilising, Turkestan being released uncivilised after russia lots a great war so I could grab it all for 5 infamy, Egypt being annexed via sphere with all its cores after it won the oriental crisis, etc. Plus I think I released australia new zealand canada etc when the events popped up so i could burn some infamy.

Didn't get the Portugese colonies in Africa or Liberia because they're too much infamy though sadly. Managed to nab all of africa because the CB's are free for no infamy and I had all my armies ready the moment the berlin congress fired. Think I even reloaded a few times to get it just right.

hope you plan to do something about these guys

I don't have the save anymore it was from a while ago.

The most retarded part was this AI generated releasable state called 'Bombay' which included all of fucking asia and africa lmao

hey romanon i have a question for you
can you really love a girl who has swallowed another man's cum?

Can it equally be said, then, that no woman can love a man who's been with another woman in any sexual way?

what the fuck

this would have been a good campaign to go communist in and cheat to make all your colonies into states and add a shitload of accepted cultures for le groß socialistiche weltrepublik

No it can't you fucking reddit moron

unfortunately no.

It goes both ways, marriages where both partners have only been with the other person are far more likely to last, statistically speaking

Are these good borders for a Province of Judaea? Red or green?

Are the Pardos really emmigrating? can you post pops every 5 years or something?

Why the fuck does Darfur become a state instead of a colony when you get it through the event?What was HPM thinking?I seriously hope that will be dealt with for the next version.

Threadly reminder

I asked him about this the other day and he said it would be fixed next patch.

hey hpm don't forget to make the danish colony in india a normal region. it is currently in the iceland group.

Ah yes, that's good.
Do you know if he's also making at least a few events to thaw party loyalty, so elections are as static?

>Province of Judaea
You mean Palestine? You ARE Roman after all :^)

get back to your cereal john

I've already stated before that I'm giving this land to the Jews for memes so don't argue

>can't play the new home update because my psu exploded

Feelsbadman

Yeah, but you fucking killed Willy because those weren't "the right memes", huh, you subhuman abomination?
Fuck you, livestream your suicide.

>not splitting it half-way between Jews around Jerusalem and Christian Arabs around them for the supreme memes

>not giving everything from the river in egypt to mesopotamia to the kikes for FULL memes

...

Would there be any way to represent a democratic republic in CK2?I hate playing as k*ngs and (((merchant))) republics really don't cut it.

>not giving the Jews some meme land like Anatolia to gradually convert over the centuries

This is absolutely based
Release when

Nothing new since the post in last thread. Are you even lewdmod or are you just reposting?

Thank G-d. Sick of those /pol/ autists whining they can't repopulate all of Europe with Germans.

I hate pol and am very politically liberal but I want to populate all of Europe with Germans

Reposting

Liberals are fascists, they just hate poor people rather than other races.

*cums all over u're face*

*spits it back in ure face*

nah. You need the oligarchical nature of merchant republics so that they remain playable if you lose an election.

CK2+ has a game rule where you get to keep playing even if your heir isn't of your dynasty anymore.I was thinking something like that, you always play as the president of the republic no matter what.
I'm brainstorming some ideas right now, maybe I'll eventually make some kind of mod if I figure it out how to make it realistic enough.

this but unironically

Make it so that you can have a senate.

I was being unironic.

arent there already mods that do this? dark worlds or something?

Dark world is alright, but what it does could be done much better
