>A fucking BOOK
When are they making good DDs again
This is crap

I think HPM fixed that in the most recent versions

stop

Cradle WHEN
I want to play again

Based & White

>burgers

Tbh it would be pretty cool if the chronicles features was tied to that

They need to expand the item system but not like this.

Old games are usually abandoned mod wise.

Who are you talking to

>To this day I'm mad that if you find you chancellor stealing money you can't chop of his hand.
There's mods that you can tho.

>expecting paradox to do proper work

Anyone here played oriental empires
Is it good

Me

Wrong thread

Yes

Whats the right one
Is it good or not

>HoI4 now has a CoC
Will it finally be good? Why the fuck did they remove it in the first place.

Casuals would be scared by it desu

>>>>>civ4x

W&B

Yes.

The game is boring shit without it.

>Will it finally be good?
No, why the hell it would
its just draw arrows and win

Reminder that hating on paradox is just a meme at this point.

So you are just being a contrarian then.
The battleplan system is fun.

This but unironically

>Meta on /qa/ only.
>All meta discussion of boards is to be redirected to /qa/.
What did they mean by this

desu people have unrealistic expecations from game developers

Of

kys grammar nazi

HoI 4 is actually becoming entertaining
next patch looks promising
I just wished they added good espionage and worked on the AI instead of relying on modifiers
I'm tired of the USA being stuck on the Pacific Islands and in the German front they pretty much stuck to North Africa

>limburg
>Part of germany

Fuckin shills

Actual thread (made first)

How so
The battlepan stuff is still there

Fuck off

Both threads were made earlier lad, there^s nothing 'actual' here
Thats what you get for making earlier threads

Kys

What country should I play in CK2?

Egypt as saladin

Andalusia

t.r&i

serbia remove kebab (gyros version)

This.
CoC and proper espionage can finally make the game fun.
Wish they spent less time with fantasy shit though.
What's the point of a WW2 game that's WW1: reloaded or where you avoid the world war?

I always used to not care about the R&I shit, but now I've seen it so many times with my own eyes kek wtf.

I'm always on the other side but for the purposes of this post I will pretend I was on another one.

r8

>cropping

fuck rebels man.

wow what a rebel

Git gud

I'm new to CK2, worked my way up to King of Ireland, as one does, and then some guy from Aragon claiming Mumu came and took it from me with his like 10000 levies. Is this kind of thing normal? Random wars against stronger armies against people far away from you with whom you've never interacted? I looked it up, doesn't appear to be a historical event.

>not knowing about catalan ireland
lmaoing at your life

Lad, that fucking happened. Do you know nothing about Irish history?

>aragon
>catalan
try harder

So people keep bugging me to play HoI 4,. im used to playing Civ and Total War, is 4 as bad as you all shitpost, should i just buy 3

is there any reason not to reform a pagan faith?

Yes, it's ahistorical.

Ha, guess I should have researched harder. Dunno why I didn't find this.

And no, my history knowledge is shit, only recently taken an interest in the subject, leading to an interest in this family of games.

It's op and boring after the second time

t. butthurt castillian

t. soon-to-be not-autonomous catalan

lol you wish

this but post-ironically

What was it?

Why do all Central power victory scenarios result in the breakup/confederalisation of the KuK?
It's absolute bullshit to think any possible revolts wouldn't have been put down by the victorious parties.

Yeah i know, it should be just like the victors of ww2 kept their empires

victors of ww1 kept their empires*

Is there anything more reddit than passive-aggressive sarcasm?
The victors in WW2 lost there empires due to a combined effort by the US to become the sole hegemon of the western world and by the USSR to disestablish all western power entirely.

There's absolutely no correlation here, you're simply trying to appear in the right as the shit-eating grinning know-it-all you truly are.

I wasn't being ironic i misstyped ww2 instead of ww1

If you don't want people getting a claim on your stuff then I guess you just have to hoard all your daughters for yourself

All of them did, except Russia, which was:
1. Secluded from the other powers.
2. Undergoing revolution.
3. Technically signed peace seperately to the rest of the allies.

In comparison to KuK who, in this supposed timeline:
1. Was slap bang in the middle of Germany, Bulgaria, and the Ottomans.
2. Not undergoing largescale revolution at any point in the war.
3. In this scenario wouldn't have signed peace seperately.

>all of the code for DH is inside a 4.5mb exe
Literally every other game file other than that exe are text files and picture files, all of which easily moddable even by complete amateurs.

It feels weird somehow.

>Why wouldn't it be?
It's like taking the easy way out by staying as a weak small nation and not taking it to its full potential capacity.

>DH is 4.5 mb
>savegames are at least twice that size

/gsg/ and taxes guy, I've been doing some testing with the vanilla MEIOU CE files and figured out what's breaking regional capitals.

In both travel times, there's a variable called capital_effect_factor, which doesn't seem to be set anywhere, doesn't appear in save files, and thus defaults to zero. The values for CE reduction from regional capitals are multiplied by it, so they're reduced to zero. Commenting out the lines referring to it fixes the problem and gives regional capitals that actually do something.

i like to call it "modest blobbing"

>MEIOU
AEIOU?

Why Quebec?

>?

looks nice and also fuck canada

That UBD makes my willy waggle. Is it German primary?

indeed it is my lad

*cums willy juice*
Post their pops.
but make sure you save, close the game, reopen the game from the save, select them, screenshot their pops, then immedistely close the game so its not cheating

Here's a very late-game save for comparison. Unchanged CE at the top, changed CE at the bottom, with exactly the same spread of regional capitals. While it's improved across the board, you can also see that it drops back to perfect from superb on arrival in Taiwan, whereas before the fixes CE decreased based only on distance from the capital.

very aesthetic, good job user

First thing that comes to mind?

>anarkiddies

Would help if I attached the image.

After the disaster that was the rule of Emperor Gallo, the Empire is finally starting to stabilize under his brother, Aurelius Augustus. Gallo nearly led the self-proclaimed 'restored Western Empire' to ruin by associating with blasphemous cults such as Lucifer's Own. The wife of Aurelius disappeared not long after Gallo was removed, being rumored to be associated with Lucifer's Own. Emperor Aurelius along with the reinstated Patriarch have declared a War on Terror on remaining pagan tribes operating within the Empire's borders, and they are now being dealt with by the newly instated local Viceroy-Kings.

r8 my inner-borders and Coat of Arms

sorry to disappoint
riga is 9% germ

thank you very much

I'm thinking of continuing this game in NWO, anyone here done V2 -> NWO converted games? how broken is it?

>select 'Immigration not Allowed' reform in CWE
>still getting 1,000 African immigrants every day

>illegal immigrants
Atleast it's an accurate representation of the modern world

It's -100%, so having a single reform with positive immigrant attraction prevents it working.

It's annoying.

no this is a lot better its like a european german rhodesia
Speaking of European German Rhodesias, you should puppet a groBanat.

Are there any EU4 events that gives you the option to go to war with a specific/random country? Want to try something out.
