I wanna do a stupid halloween run in Vanilla EU4
Recommend me a custom nation design and ideas

Transylvania

Andalusia
Defeat christendom and end it

2 years until the truce ends and the 2nd Portuguese-France holy wars against Ottomans and Ming will start.
What other countries can I play as if I want to feel historically correct?

How did I not think of that
user, I don't want to be THAT scared

Roleplay as a transvestite Tim Curry.

Trick or Treat people by whatever game mechanic you feel most appropriate.

yeehaw

How would a good strategy game implement logistics?

hoi3 :^)

If I update my EU4 will i have to download all the dlc again?

yes

>Finnaly squeeze out a finished HoI4 game it was multiplayer with a friend
>Want to check losses over the war
>Cant no ledger
>At best can see manpower losses for everyone and equipment I lost and destroyed myself
>No more seeing 12million horses dead
God damnit paradox is it so hard to give us a ledger that shows losses in combat? HoI2 had that option. It was my favorite thing to do at the end of a DH campaign to look at every lose everyone had and compare it to IRL.

Same here. It also added huge replayability, as I would try different runs and try to minimize casualties throughout the war.

>Thought the /int/ general is just a meme
>Its actually better in every way
Lmao bye, have fun with your talking about liqqy 2 until the day you die

The worst part is paradox had the coding there that tracks it and even can show the player. Here is a pic of my first practice game as south africa. I can see exactly how many of everything ive lost and killed even down to the model. I cant however see my exact kills or details of any other battle that I did not participate in myself. Huge shame I feel paradox could add the losses ledger from earlier games with minimal effort. Then again a small amount of effort is more then no effort so I doubt they will do it.

Oh and forgot to mention that only shows the one theater and the last 12 months. Fucking paradox. The given reasons why they dont is one nazis and murder is bad and multiplayer balance.

That amagalmation between 2d map and pseudo-3d terrain is just horrible.

Reminder that this is likely a HPM started page and will likely be deleted in a few hours. You should move.

Well I got bored of this game man the game runs like ass in the 40s. Multicore paradox please. Also holy shit does the game favor air for its score. Not that anyone cares about score in these games but still amusing.

How so?

Is hoi4 not boring now?

>Strait of Dover 3 fucking provinces wide

Stick to DH/HoI3 I bought it with a friend for some amusing multiplayer. It is still rife with problems. And so many good base mechanics that I like but put in such a shallow way with almost nothing built on it that its clear they made this games with tons of DLC in mind.
>Only 8 nations have unique national focuses without buying DLC.

...

>Multicore paradox please
Their reasoning is that it's impossible to maintain smoothness when hundreds of units roam all around the map, yet my toaster laptop (1gb ram, 1,7ghz core duo, no gpu) can run late DH fairly well.

They are just being full of shit to cover the fact that their new tranny devs are trash at coding.

Jad3 dragon has a release date yet?

...

15th November
Await GRORIOUS JINEESE EMPRAH fucking Turks and wanting hot Mande cock

Based Erdogan

Should I learn Victoria 2 or Darkest Hour first?

Trick or treat
give me gold or I invade your nation and rape your people

quality /gsg/ right here lads

...

Every release in the hoi series since Darkest Hour has been a step backwards. They are a niche grand strategy company that got popular so now they have to please the idiots.

Fuck I missed your post again.
Don't worry though, I'll stay up all night today so make sure to reply to this post ASAP AARnon. I know this might seem like a jape but it really is just incompetence and poor timing, this time I'll manage to do it so make sure to reply to this post.
I would've posted sooner but I was banned so I had to wait it out. Whoops.
A normal fucking mod would just move my thread to /trash/ or something, ignore the thread maybe. But this faggot had to delete my thread and ban me. "garbage outside of /b/" my ass, I was posting about non-pornographic books on Veeky Forums, it's what the fucking board is for. Does he really expect me to take that discussion to /b/? Just because the bokk was about sex? For fuck's sake.
This is just insulting, can't even discuss sexual matters now because of those mods banning people willy-nilly.
And no, I have nothing else to do while I wait.

ah
yes
as they say in this general

*farts*

V2

...

we get it dude, you go on /pol/

what am i supposed to be seeing here

>commie version of shit meme
why are you so mad at me nerd

See

I've been posting here for over a year.

I'm making Beef Burgundy. What's a fun strategy for said nation in EU4?

Good tutorial video for victoria 2?

>eu4
>strategy
dude just blob lmao

I know EU4 is pretty casual but I'm just getting into grand strategy games and I find it fun.

Fuck france fast
That's it
Just play the game

Today was a good day
>just got approved to receive 1000$ neetbux
>soup kitchen served fish soup and later pork with mashed potatoes
>found 5$ on the street
How was your day gsg?

No.
Just play as the United States, they're railroaded into being powerful
Fuck over France early on.

get a strong ally to deter france from attacking you
wait for the inevitable french-castilian or french-aragonese war and attack france

Happy Halloween, /gsg/!

What spopy things are you doing in your grand strategy games for Halloween this year?

finally, all that french erotica will come in handy. There's just one thing I'm confused about though. Are you supposed to use ideas to compliment strengths or weaknesses? For example is quality better for small manpower armies or quantity to give more manpower?

you'll need both
large army made of paper will be torn apart
small army will be overwhelmed
offensive is probably the best starting mil idea group

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

>afrikum version of shit meme

>Not quantity

Did aarnon stop posting?

no

Is HoI4 fundamentally broken or do you think hundreds of dollars of DLC could add necessary mechanics to make it good?

>no
His last post was literal hours ago.

>hundreds of dollars
Try billions

what are good EU4 nations for playing tall other than netherlands

how do we help hoi4 recover?

I played it a bit it has some very nice base mechanics but ya it needs some serious DLC work to make it good. Which is a shame since the fixes would be quite easy but paradox is going all out this time. When Vicky 3 comes out you know they are gonna lock anything not in Europe/North america on rease and no pops cause genocide ect.

It's not victoria two

offensive gives your shock and fire pips, makes sieges faster, gives extra force limit, and gives discipline
quantity just makes your army bigger

>sugar
Wouldn't she be cream in this analogy?

>actual communist regimes
>being pro LGBT
>being pro wymyns equality

the absolute state of /pol/ baseless propaganda

The redpilled answer is Americans ruin everything they touch, be it nationalism or communism.

then why do the best players claim quantity is better by far

They're saving it for DLC.

>actual communist regimes
>being pro wymyns equality
Not him but it happened.

Also, even Stalin used women in war and today the Norks and Chinks do too.

>>being pro LGBT
I mean they ARE atheists and Stalin and Lenin were both proven to be degenerates

i made both those pictures retard

funny satire dude

no

Why are we talking about communism again?

yeehaw

who?

Did the AAR guy stop posting now or what?
All I see in these threads is people trying to contact him and failing to do so.
see

/pol/ and /leftypol/ OUT. Strasserism is the only accepted ideology in this general.

embarrassing

>tfw AARnon was HPM all along and got banned for banevading

wouldnt surprise me that dude is a histrionic control freak loser

how does one stop being a loser?

>i made both those pictures
It's good bait and I usually get some butthurt/pol/ posters in gs/v/ threads
Keep up the gross

you're welcome, have another pic ANTIFA Super Soldier

*blocks your path*

make new ones pls

I don't know man
It lacks the super post-post-irony with how easy and clean it looks
Its too easy to tell that you're mocking, instead of mocking the person you're mocking who is mocking you

>that dude is a histrionic control freak loser
How is that the case?

I posted just last thread.

Well I'm here now.

can you make a pic about the epic pagan pros that sometimes pop up
