Reminder to report and ignore shitposting

How come you had so few pops with presumably no genocides? Either thst or you were blobbing in Turkey like a retard.

Here's a bonus since nobody replied to my other one.

white men

No one replied because it was a standard disgusting reddit blob that didn't deserve attention.
What is Posadism? Socialist futurism?

>Posadism

Ugh! Don't these NORMIES know that only BASEDOLF HITLER and the NAZIS made FLYING SAUCERS?

Not quite done with this yet, just doing a test run. It hasn't crashed yet, so I must be doing something right.

Nice LARP, fake R&I.

make it to allow brother sister and parent child incest

I didn't use reddit at the time.

Soon

dont delete my post you stupid retard jannie

What if you went with "Baptistae"?

Wouldn't really make sense because none of the other religions are localized. It's a good idea, though.

>dood proto-protestantism
Has Romanon finally jumped the shark?

>dude Christianity was totally monolithic until Luther
please kill yourself

It's not supposed to be Protestantism. It's just supposed to be a religious movement to tide me over until they add the Great Schism.

>both meme videos have the stalin anthem
Why are Trots so retarded?

>literally called baptism
Bravo, Romanon. Getting worse with every post.

Plenty of things are called by unlocalized names, even when a more literal translation is available. "Catharism" is from the greek katharoi, meaning the pure ones. Baptistae is latin for Baptist, but it would also serve as the name for a religion following John the Baptist. Besides, baptists makes me think of pic related.

alright empire formed, now I'm going to release some kingdoms for some independent Norman realms should I release Achaia too?

>dude venerating john the baptist started with the reformation
Please stop commenting on things you have no grasp of

Trots supported the USSR they just wanted a coup

Th-these guys

>baptists makes me think of pic related.
oops forgot pic

It's more or less a placeholder as it's early in the stage but if you have any better ideas, please let me know. I'm satisfied with the name.

Yeah, but they wanted to completely change what the USSR was to remove all elements of nationalism. That anthem, with lyrics like:
>The Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
>We were raised by Stalin to be true to the people,
Makes no sense for Trots to use or associate with in any way. It's nationalist and especially Stalinist.
If they wanted to use a song they should have used the much more obvious internationale.

Just to be absolutely clear, it represents people dissenting against mainstream Christianity, correct?

Reminder that those are the perfect Iranian borders.Anything else includes non-aryans and that is NOT acceptable.

>azerbaijan
Nice Turkic Aryans there, retard.

>azaris
>turks
imagine being this retarded
bet you think syriacs are arab too

woah

Is Posadism Argentina's meme gift to the world?

Following the refoundation of the city of Jerusalem in 698, an apocryphal gospel centered around the life of John the Baptist was discovered. Contemporaries dated it to around 100 AD or perhaps earlier, and compounded with the growing discontent with Nicene Christianity, a lot of people got on board. The Church proper rejected this gospel as apocryphal and the people who subscribed to it as heretical, but with an emphasis on reaching out to sinners, nonbelievers, etc. Part of the reason why the movement was shunned by the establishment was its policy of baptizing literally anybody, and the relative casualness of what it took to be a minister.

I'm still working on it. I'm planning on making the religious head mechanics work something like the Caliphate.

He said Turkic.

Fuck, I really wanted you just to say yes so I could meme on you to call it Protestantism.
I really should have anticipated your penchant for overly complex explanations of your darling campaign.
It was so much easier to meme you into thinking beating the CSA was a difficult feat.

woah, a map with no evidence, really proved me wrong there

They are neither anyway

I'm not good at building dynasty, I just marry them to person with good stats. Is there other things to do in CK2?

RP

Reposting from the last thread:

Here's a poll for where the new CK2 AAR should start, alongside some images showing the situation there. Feel free to weigh in with questions about the current starts, but make sure to vote. Soon enough a follow-up poll about who to play as in the winning region should be coming around.

strawpoll.me/14092529/

Also, if you're interested, feel free to look at the AAR House Rules so far. Thus far I've re-enabled titles named after dynasties based upon feedback, and added House Rule #14 for raiding restrictions: pastebin.com/g5wsHDnM

No, it's from the 867 start. That leaves 586 years of play, of which I'll almost certainly not finish.

hmm

So when are you gonna call it?

Probably either tonight or tomorrow, after this thread 404s. Anyone gone because of weekend /gsg/ will just have to put up with whatever the decision is.

This just further proves my point, but sure.

Oh come on! It's my primary culture and everything!

Holy sites so far:

>Jerusalem
For obvious reasons.
>Kerak
John the Baptist's place of death.
>Tiberias
The location of Nazareth.
>Rome
For obvious reasons.
>Alexandria
Couldn't think of anything else.

Are they too close together? What would be appropriate?

Really excited for this.

How do you role-play in CK2?

So, the events during political elections are the only way I can change my government type?

What exactly do the party loyalty national foci do?

How so? The Azerbaijanis are entangled with the t. *rks and the Iranians are way off to the left.

>no evidence
Are you fucking dense? Any ethnographical source will call the Azeris a Turkic people
If you're going to be going against the scientific consensus, you're going to need to provide evidence

What country do I enrich with immigrants in CWE?

>What exactly do the party loyalty national foci do?
Makes people more prone to vote for those parties regardless of policy.

Which is more fun, EU4 or CK2?

Playing Andalusia, this is my first EUIV run in 4 years. What ideas group to take next? I already have Quantity, Offensive, and Exploration.

Turks are hardly turkic either

>Any ethnographical source will call the Azeris a Turkic people
They are often considered turkic because their language is very close to turkish and their culture (at least of the ones of the independent Azerbaijan) has become quite similar as well.But that hardly changes them not being turkic by blood.
And this is solely about the azaris in Iran, which are Iranian in pretty much every way, with small traces of caucasians.
Sure, I have this saved from months ago so I suppose it must be truthful
khazaria.com/genetics/azeris.html

Oman

Which should I go for in my V2 game, forming the Durrani Empire and reclaiming all my cores as Afghanistan or releasing Finland and playing them trying to take all the baltic and volga finn areas?

>But that hardly changes them not being turkic by blood
see

see

>releasing Finland
git gud

Please post your gross Finland game. I've never seen anyone post one but I've always wanted to.

What's this meme-faith again?

P-Please help

Proddies

Protestantism.

Where was he killed? Also not sure Rome should be one desu.

It's just a branch/heresy I'm modding in based around John the Baptist. I'll probably just make one of the holy sites where the actual religion springs up.

Time for a big council.

He died in Machaerus, which is in Kerak.

He died in Syria.

Oh fuck, I read that as place of birth. Where was he born then? Nazareth?

>What effect does it have?

Lads what's the canon timeline for KR post-1936? Epic willy-wagglin?

got any link for geheimnisnacht ?

Is this CK2+ or HIP?

>blackbeard
Lad, you were supposed to keep the monarchy white.

No that's Grandi
Maybe I AM getting obsessed
JK XD

The trait is +5 opinion, the opening of Parliament does this.

You that favela shitter who spams trite at AARanon?

No, that's actually exactly what I was referencing

We don't really know, although in the Gospel that was uncovered it's stated he was a Nazarene. I'll probably be making up a lot about his early life and just attest it to the book.

Damn, imagine the RP you could do with this shit.

There is none.

/gsg/- Grandi's Subversion General

Put your trip back on, Swosony.

>Swosony
I genuinely have no idea what you mean by this.

He means my tripcode.

HIP, but I took a mod that added Parliament, ripped out all the meme buildings and their ridiculous bonuses, and made the titles contingent on getting the Magna Carta from having a terrible king instead of there from the very beginning.

>traditional /gsg/
>CK2 in the OP
It's probably bait, but still

But there had to have been one for the KR EvW mod?

CK2 is the best grand strategy game.

These memes are going too fast for even me.
CK2 is white and based because it has incest, eugenics, and RP.

So where in the Empire should be the birthplace of this epic new meme Christianity?

I'll get more MPs and Lords by conquering the other British kingdoms, which means I'll probably be dealing with a council of ~50 people when I'm done.

Africa

>CK2 is white and based because it has incest, eugenics, and RP.
Just because a game is fun and is played on a map does not make it a /gsg/
