/gsg/ and taxes person, the idea groups for the Enlightenment should be culture_ideas and humanism_ideas, not culture and humanism.

Any grand strategy game where I can reclaim my rightful lands in a three-way battle royale?

It's actually easier to beat Japanese troops than Korean peasants.

Interesting

Im tempted to buy HoI 4. Should I go for the cadet or colonel edition?
>Includes Several cosmetic DLCs, Colonel Forum Icon, Poland: United and Ready, Forum Avatar and Wallpapers
Sounds like crap desu

i don't understand

In EU4, if I force my Sunni vassal into Catholicism, will they then convert newly conquered Sunni lands?

Is this some sort of sick joke

accept it

>Montenegro is the war leader

it's not good?

I think not

hmmm

I'm posting an SS-20 Saber in honour of the defunct East vs West until we get a good Cold War game.

>soviets
They're more Jewish than democracies. That's pretty Jewish.

well time to savescum, that's what i get for taking over a previously AI-controlled soviet union

I'm still the Soviet Union I just got a party change lmao

>Soviet Union run by moralist conservatives
Nice. Is that an absolute monarchy UK?

bring back the Tsar

BTFO

Want to know how I know you're both virgins?

In EU4 what's the best Byz strategy for the current patch/all DLC?

Why, because I think the funniest part of CWE is how it tries its best and still creates incredibly stupid scenarios?

Yeah and market communists have similar policies anyway.

Speaking of virgins, it seems they were triggered and broke off when the Socialists won in the USA again.

This is my favourite CWE meme desu

Why is ck2 such a bad game compared to vic2? Literally everything qbout it is simplified and it creates ahistorical GARBAGE

Get cancer, corporate tool.

I've been interested in getting in to a Paradox gsg for a while now but I couldn't really be bothered learning it all and I never really had the time to invest in them. However I'm going to have some spare time soon and so I've decided to bite the bullet and finally learn to play one of them. I'm leaning towards Victoria 2 because it has the most interesting setting.

What am I getting myself in to?

>Victoria 2
Stop playing.
Stop posting.
Get some brains and cure the tumor with some comfy EU4.

Doesn't that have like a billion DLCs though?

For most games, I'd tell you that setting is really what matters the most, and learning the mechanics is an involved but tolerable process for pretty much any game. The exceptions are HoI4 (because it looks shit), EU4 (because they seem to think adding new buttons you have to press is all DLC is about these days), and HoI3 to an extent (because of the tedium).

If you find the Victorian period the most interesting, then roll with it. As for what you're getting yourself into, that really depends on what you mean by the question.

>What am I getting myself in to?
Jacobin uprisings. The learning process for all Paradox game is getting familiar with the UI and the base game mechanics. After that you find out for yourself what works or you look up guides for the do's and dont's, after that it pretty much just becomes a matter or how much you want to exploit the lackluster computer opponents.

>Jacobin uprisings
Unless you're playing as an unciv, then it's reactionary uprisings like

>want to play as Spain in CWE
>remember that it's Fr*nco's spain

disgusting

>shitposter defends a shit game and attacks vic2
proves my point

>not just switching parties and LARPing as if Franco was murdered and some other dictator took his place

Yes

Franco was the best leader spain ever had

>being a Mussolini tier sellout to capitalism
>great

lol

>who is Charles V

You mean the faggot that tried to treat aztec savages as equals and eded up just causing internal turmoil?
fuck that guy he was the sjw of his day

>hahha fucking medieval sjws!!!! amirite kekpedelads?? fuck n*t*v*-*m*r*c*ns x^D

Not only was he an sjw, he admitted he was a failure later in life and gave up spain
What a faggot

aka this man

We don't like sjws and libcucks here
That sissy wasn't even meant to be the ruler he was raised in burgundy (french) but was a ruler of Germans and Spanish, not only that but instead of trying to learn a language and trying to fule as a german would, he tried to create a multicukti society (he tried to include the fucking savages in it too, look how that worked out)
He later said he was a huge fucking failure and gave up. What a pussy

>We don't like sjws and libcucks here
nor do we like fash LARPers

>man
A sissy maybe.

neoliberal libertardian bootlickers are cringeworthy

Why is HoI 4 considered bad?

cause its shit

>filthy communist degenerates
>posts soviet propaganda
Now post a 21st centaury communsit

elaborate

Western communists have always been shit, equally shit to fascist LARPers (literally a LARP movement since its foundation lol)

Even Wahhabism was faster than Protestantism.

It's facebook-tier easy, you just draw arrows and you win
not joking that's all there is to it, it's as simple as putting a square block in the square hole
>lol
I always knew lefty/pol/is reddit

Go back to /pol/ to fap over how great the (((free market is))).

>Western communists have always been shit
Good to know, reminder there are only western communists now sonce all the eastern people remember how awful communism was and had to fight against it, fucktard
It is why Russia is expanding and doing well despute its limitations as an ex-soviet shithole, and europe is plundging into welfre-state cancer that will destroy it and the white race from within with the help of the muslims, thus destroying white culture, the last bastion of hope of defeating the jews

The freeer the market the freeer the people
Are you against freedom?

>go back
You should do that you fucker fuck you,only you go to reddit

On the contrary, most people fighting against western degeneracy are some form of communist or at least take up the symbolism. Also fuck that dumb whore who died on welfare.

I'm against Hollywood-induced decadence and degeneracy brought forth with US capitalism.

Stalin is considered the #1 Russian by popular polls in Russia, Communist Party of Russia is #2 after Putin's one and is very supportive of him. Try again.

...

what do you think, lads?

>most people fighting against western degeneracy are some form of communist
That's a lie and you know it, the left is the reason we have degeneracy in the first place
>degeneracy brought forth with US capitalism
Ah yes, the 60s were known for its degeneracy
Kill yourself tool, socialism is why degenerates like you exist, capitalism is the cure

Why don't you post those polls huh? Because they were done by "marx and me" or better yet "jewish news monthly"?
Do you honestly expect me to believe such horseshit?try again cuck

The Eastern Bloc never had a liberal sexual revolution like your 60s. And yes they were known for their degeneracy you dumbass, that's when the hippies and 'free love' happened.

Dumbass American has no idea what's the cause of anything and can't look in his own backyard and will just keep listening to Cold War era propaganda.

except that capitalism creates the material incentive to produce degeneracy. Porn, sex toys etc sell well

You mislabelled turkey

It's not and contrary to most of Paradox' garbage you wont need DLC to fix the base game. It's not fantastic, but not awful either.

Because vic2 is the only good thing paradox made, as soon as they start making games they become shit
>washingtonpost
Only shitter thing you could have done is post cnn.

good map but Bulgaria has been driven from the Danube delta without being fully crippled. expect maximum South Slavic autism to ensue

No, jews do
Russia should own finland, make sweden smaller, germany big

Here's the original Russian site if you can read anything beyond McCarthyspeak

u can have big germany or big russia. not both

>f-fake news
*Cringes*
>no, jews do
This is considered an argument by /pol/
Where is the proof?

>can't look in his own backyard
Here's the thing, I can afford to have a backyard AND FOOD
Can commies do that?

Yeah if you stick to your own continent and stop meddling in Europe. What happened to America First? Can you please go back to that and stop shitting up the world with your retarded worldview?

Are there any updates on any CK2 mods worth playing?

>The Elder Kings SVN doesn't seem like it's had anything noticeable done to it for the past half a year or more.
>Warhammer and Game of Thrones are more or less finished as is.
>Lux Invicta

Has After the End seen anything new or are we in a stasis period for CK2 overhauls?

Yeah seeing as the USSR had no famines after collectivisation and provided everyone with houses. No capitalist country has no homeless or no people begging for food

>*Cringes*
Wow the left really can't meme
>Where is the proof?
do you need proof the sky is blue too? Pic related

Don't need to meme when your whole movement is a fucking joke outside of North America, where you compete with SJWs that are only ever prominent in the West, and you can keep both them and the (((alt-right)))

Also pornography is only available in capitalism. It literally didn't exist in the Eastern Bloc, and especially not the USSR.

I want to go for it, but I don't think I can force it on my trade company without war, and I'm not sure I'd win.

>seeing as the USSR had no famines after collectivisation and provided everyone with houses

>Wow the left really can't meme
It's a meme from /tr/ you dip. It's not a lefty meme you autist
>do you need proof the sky is blue too? Pic related
So no proof other than one Jew said something? And you don't even show proof for the quote
Jesus Christ pol is retarded es fuarko
not an argument

imagine /pol/ thinking they're relevant outside of their containment board

lol

>fuck that guy he was the sjw of his day
Imagine saying something like this unironically.

REEE
REEEEEE
REEEE

>konigsberg

Not an argument
You know where it ACTUALLY didn't exist? The third reich, the thing jews and by extention commies ruined.
porn in ussr was really prevelat, you could find it littering the streets.
