What's the easiest way to change governments to communist/fascist in Vicky 2? Should I just promote party in my most populated states for awhile?

Storm the winter shores of England
Fa la la la la, la la la lan.
Loot and pillage with your warband
Fa la la la la, la la la lan.

Yes.

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Revolution or a coup.
Just appoint the party you want to coup and get your people pissed.

haha yes

>north german patriots

No don`t get this shit on my head,

based grandi wins again

Are you going for modern German borders?

Well I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more with armalites and mortorbombs I thought I knew the score. But now we have a weapon, we've never used before. The Brits are looking worried - and their going to worry more!

Why is napoleon's legacy even in the op? It's complete garbage, in itself is a mere minimod upon grandimod

Why

>108

newfag pls

Why not :^)

>implying i want to min-max rather than autistically LARP as a Nationialist ethno-state with closed borders
Hello Reedit.

Show pops

>autistically LARP as a Nationialist ethno-state with closed borders
>with 24k soldiers controlling over 9 million people
what did he mean by this

Because that's dumb af

I like the way the german border is right now.
Here's what I'm going for.

Fuck I almost forgot, and I need a new playthrough
Quick, Muslim Ibadi republic in Yemen to convert India, or Jewish horde

how did you become a nationalist dictatorship?

Looks like shit. Stop blobbing.

>implying you need a big army when literally 95% of the nation supports the government
lmao

im assuming you meant to quote me. Populist rebels.

you know the answer, goy

Things that have happened since last time:

I've conquered West Prussia and Holstein.

I've doubled my army size from 30K to 60K

Raised my army tradition to 91%

Adopted Quality military ideas.

Muslims of course

Am I missing something in EU4?

Why does it seem like I can only do one major war every couple of years because of manpower and the AI is constantly at war and conquering?

Red and orange is not for Russia, only green.

white men

>>implying you need a big army when literally 95% of the nation supports the government

>Socialist 22.1%

And how do you plan on taking Ulster exactly?

You blobbed up to the order already champ

>10% SECULAR
KEK!
>22.1% COMMIE
KEK!
>ONLY 94.1% IRISH
KEKED!

Top KEK at you, SJW shill! You have been Reported and Ignored!

It's how it's supposed to work. Manpower isn't infinite.

...

How else was I supposed to kill the germans?

you have to substitute manpower for mercenaries, especially earlier in the game
thats what the AI is doing, hiring mercenaries

Okay but it seems like it takes a long time for mine to recover vs the AI

How do they afford it then? Mercs are expensive as fuck? Just piles of loans?

After a great war?

Time to mine some XRM

yes.

The ai hires mercs like crazy. They go in debt for it. Or they have ideas for manpower regen

...

R&I

Oh yeah, I'm going to wait for the update next week so I can tribal pillage and maybe take that new Yemeni queen as a concubine
Can tribal Muslims take concubines?

White men

I don't think so.

Last time I dismantled the germans nothing happened and after a few years they were on the top 3 nations again. Don't worry, I'm going to genocide them later.

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

including this post?

...

I'm talking about conquering these states after a great war.

>2:53
i must NOT lose intrest tomorrow

also where are genocide events located

Cnt-fai?

Damn
I'll take her daughters, then
Thank God for the Persian portrait replacement for Arabs mod

Why would you replace beautiful Arabs?

have they fixed yet that AI Doesnt integrate vassals in eu4 ?

Why the fuck would I wait for that when I can press my advantages right now?

Because right now is just cheap unjustified blobbing while after a great war it could be seen as rightful punishment.

Lewdmod, it seems like the new CK2 patch is slowing down the HIP conversion, so you might have as much as another week or two to get the barebones content I requested ready to go, although the ball is in their court. I know you're busy so don't let it effect your work, but if you get done and find the extra time I'd appreciate any extra effort you can put forth. What have you put together presently?

Also a reminder to everyone else that the DH AAR is now archived and viewable here: imgur.com/a/oZgYu

No that comes next patch

thanks. now to post this on reddit for ebin upboats.

...

what did you meme by this?

i like this one more than and

what does any of this mean? is it some kind of cryptic message?

...

woah another one

...

wtf? this guy is dead. is this a haunted photo?

Work has been tenuous so far I'm afraid. I've just about completed the principle event chain underlying the definition of your ruler's favourite position.
haha fuckin memed u AARlex

Nah genny, lewdmod hardly ever uses spoilers when he's speaking directly to me, and he's never on at this hour. I'll admit the moth got me before I noticed you'd spoilered text, though.

I'm getting slav'd right now.

Thanks, I actually love your aars

I half thought about replying to three people at once like he does to make it genuine, but I wanted to make sure nobody actually thought I was him so as not to drag his name through the mud.
Pretty sick you track peoples post times tbvqh

Oh come off it. He's always online right before or right after I go to sleep, it's a bit hard to not notice when I want to get in touch with him and can never catch him.

ah yes

>How do they afford it then

Take loans, buy mercs, take high development land, take bigger loans to pay off smaller loans, buy more mercs with remainder, take over more land, take bigger loans to pay off smaller loans, rinse repeat until you're buried under AE, OE, and rebels.

I'll stop the favourite position meme soon btw. I was never doing it in spite of you, I just found it funny that one retard would write two paragraphs of text every time detailing how it would vastly improve your AARs.

sad
you were doing so well

honestly capitalism should be MUCH better in this game. it fucking sucks to be anything but total state control over everything, and that sucks because you have to micromanage as your industry gets big. capitalism WAS successful, obviously, but it always sucks ass in liqq

what did the puto mean by this?

>it fucking sucks to be anything but total state control over everything, and that sucks because you have to micromanage as your industry gets big

im glad you at least subsidize people's ability to drink their sorrows away as much as they want in your shithole

The British Isles were a mistake

>playing before 1066
>"waah why is my map ahistorical crap"

Why does communism in this game forbids you to tax people less?
Or am I an idiot who can't understand sliders?

Yeah, it makes you have them more by default. Sorry.

You will not win this.

50% is the least you can tax them. There's no real reason for it other than most historical communist states (le TRU communism no exist) had high taxes, but it's not doctrinally mandated that taxes have to be high so there's no reason for them to be locked.

No I will not.

Empire or republic?

...

Anglos had it coming

There's a decision to become a republic later on, right?
If so then republic temporarily.
