why can't you just fucking stop making threads hpm

honest to god
please just stop

This is the thread I choose.

What are the other cultures in madagascar?

white and based

>genocide
>killing a fixed number of people

This is the PROPER thread

No he got all his posts deleted.

The game soundtrack is already good. I like "at the gates of constantinople".

Hip update when lads
How can I play ck2?

Too many to count.

CK2+?

Soundtrack is one of the best things in paradox games

That's an ethnic map though. You said culture.

Is it good?

Same shit as HIP actually, I don't know the difference unless you like meme mods like VIET or SWMH.

>Ethnies
>V2

who's the least subhuman out of all of those

Merina

What's wrong with swmh?

SWMH is the only way to play CK2 though.

None

How does on one know this?

Guess

>the proper thread got deleted

fuck you mods

It's memey shit. Makes finding provinces useless because it's half translated in english and it fills the map with bloat.

What's the deal with the HIP/CK2+ discussion everytime he makes a duplicate thread? Does it get him more replies or something because he posts the same generic questions every single time he does this

does it really matter?
do not cling
t. Buddha

fucking based

Is there really any possible reasoning for Madagascar being 100% Malagasy other than "less niggers muh performance lmao", as if renaming Malagasy to Merina and adding a single Madagascarian Minor culture would noticeably affect the game?

I kind of want to play a greek genocidiums

should I play 3.7.1?

They are the dominant race.

>In 1869 the envoy from the Meiji government arrived in Korea carrying a letter requesting to establish a goodwill mission between the two countries;[7] the letter contained the seal of the Meiji government rather than the seals authorized by the Korean Court for the Sō family to use.[9] It also used the character ko (皇) rather than taikun (大君) to refer to the Japanese emperor.[9] The Koreans only used this character to refer to the Chinese emperor and to the Koreans it implied ceremonial superiority to the Korean monarch which would make the Korean monarch a vassal or subject of the Japanese ruler.[9] The Japanese were however just reacting to their domestic political situation where the Shogun had been replaced by the emperor. The Koreans remained in the sinocentric world where China was at the centre of interstate relations and as a result refused to receive the envoy

uhm sorry gee cuck, but the drama is your t gsg shit

Install the one with the english names, you fucking angloshit amerimutt baby.

Because they're the historical elites of Madagascar and unified the country during vicky's timeframe?

HPM wins again

Hello, HPM. The problem with that is genocide is broken in the latest HPM.

>kills 20% maximum if you do it by culture
>"haha working as designed lmao"
Fuck off, Alex.

There's no genocide by culture
It kills maximum 40% according to the changelog
How is it broken?

...

it kills less people and the effects of it (massive migration out of the country by the primary culture in regions where the genocide isn't even taking place) are unrealistic

All women care about money the most, without a single exception. I've seen too much shit to know this as a fact. Hope he gets away from you

>There's no genocide by culture
Are you an absolute idiot? When you do it you get a pop up, it says "Who did we kill?" and you either select "The one about all non-accepted cultures" or "the one about all non state religions."

The fact you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about proves you're a reddit/leftypol/ migrant come to defend le based mod man from the evil racists.

Less people than what? There's no immigration if you close borders.

the borders are all so clean, you can tell this was engineered to be sort of pretty looking. real life just isn't like that, the author didn't think about the history of the mod enough.

those borders don't look like they're the result of conflict and strife through history, it looks like they just popped up one day. which is exactly what happened.

holy fuck I cant believe we got EU4 in the OP

Stop defending this broken ass mod, you shouldn't have to stop all emigration just so your primary pops don't flee a genocide they're not even a part of.

Based. Bomber btfo

>all non-accepted
>if you do it by culture
20% of every non accepted culture is a lot in multiethnic empires

>byzantine empire expanding over the borders estabilished by augustus
Seriously, I've seen people do this all the time and it's the most reddit thing a person could do. Don't they know nothing about roman history?

less people than before gennyboy posted his games in this thread
there IS immigration with closed borders, a fuck ton of it. closed borders are horribly ineffective. that's the other thing that bothers me about hpm, features whose effects are all but entirely negligible, like the colonial migration NF. if you use it you're just wasting an NF, fucking stupid to even have it in the game.

Basically, the bigger the scope that targets pops the less effective you will be because there's more people to deal with. That's to try and get a "realistic" amount of population killed. At some point I will probably devise a way of making also adjustable or scalable based on the makeup of the province, with more efficiency in provinces with a majority of your culture.
I will check it out before I release.
They have one or two failsafes to annex South Peru if they win the war of the confederation. They shouldn't have problems annexing them as is.
The way NNM does it is that the polish minors make it possible that poles don't assimilate there but that poland might still ally Austria/Germany if freed from Russia. Poland can easily get cores there through a decision if they become a GP (or if the minors are freed and are in the same sphere as Poland).
Anyway I'd need more detailed information on the area to change the make up. Like actual population statistics, closer to 1836.

>the borders are all so clean, you can tell this was engineered to be sort of pretty looking. real life just isn't like that, the author didn't think about the history of the mod enough.

shit did anyone see if the IP count went up just now? I didn't look

In any case, I'm going to sleep so I will read any answers later. Good night /gsg/.

Man, some guys just get all the luck in the love department

What a surprise, HPM is on at the exact time as the duplicate thread was made.

these borders look like shit though

Old numbers were extremely unrealistic. You killed tens of millions of people
Closed borders depend on spending to work
If people are getting out, you aren't spending enough in military and bureaucracy

...

So wait, what actually happened to grandimod?

Godo night, HPM! Thanks for the answers.

why does eu4 crash all the time? why did great britain station an exiled army of 20 thousand in sweden for 200 years?

>You killed tens of millions of people

you can still fucking do that, because the genocide system is fucking retarded anyway. it's just more retarded now. if you play as the UK, you can still kill tens of millions of people if you own all of india. which is obviously horribly unrealistic, and it's a problem that you haven't fixed with the new changes.

Trying to revive Fascism in Millennium Dawn is proving harder than I initially thought.

why are you talking to yourself
before you dismiss me as a shitposter, really look into yourself for a second here
why are you talking to yourself

>Britain couldn't make a famine in India if they wanted to
>Britain accidentally killing tens of millions of Indians isn't completely historical
>they couldn't have killed more if they actually put some effort in
looks like you have some reading to do, my friend. Wikipedia seems to be best for you.

>Trying to revive Fascism in Millennium Dawn is proving harder than I initially thought

>duplicate

Why even genocide? What are you, evil?

yes >:)
u triggered redditboi??

so you think genocide should be even more effective than it was

How do I pass political reforms in HPM? I've been sitting here as Gran Colombia trying to get liberals into power but then the socialists came and destroyed any chance of ever passing any reforms. Should I just tax everyone to the max? I can't even get anyone to rebel since everyone is so happy.

I've never used genocide

Yes, look at the numbers, which is bigger?


>grandiyouth dont even know how to use Veeky Forums

reminder Alex Grandi is an Italian.

>u triggered redditboi??

OMG ELECTRIC GEAR IS SO VALUEABLE

I've never used genocide since even before the changes it wasn't good enough and was just stressful, so i always just played either nation-states with very few colonies or peaceful friendly multicultural empires

I've never played a genocide game and i really want to

Italo-Brazilian*

That's a Big Dirty Stinkin' Bass in the background

Because genocide in a video game isn't harmful to anyone.

Oh it was made before the bump limit was reached.
Good thing mods were on the case and deleted it.

So /gsg/, while we're being autistic about genocide can we at least decide on how many people 'should' die and how?
>remove all genocides post 1933
>assume holocaust-tier ones require a far more advanced society, so we can't have that many die
So we have the Armenian genocide as a basis for the purposeful extinguishment of a people by a military/organised militias, and a lot of famines, a la the Holodomor, Potato famine, and Indian famines which killed fucking outlandish percentages of the population, up to a third.
>Irish famine - many deaths, and lots of emigration. Basically anybody can emigrate to the US under an open border policy
>Holodomor - crazy amount of deaths, closed borders, only middle/upper class people can escape/move away, the poor peasants starve to death
>Indian famine - fucking everybody dies and there's nowhere to go.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_major_famines_in_India_during_British_rule

So to genocide a people, as an authoritarian government in Vicky II, you'd be using man-made famines, death marches, nationalist agitators going door-to-door and outright executions (which would only amount for a tiny portion). Please correct me if I'm missing something but a lot of posts seem to imply that everyone would be thrown into a gas chamber and there's no other way to kill a lot of people than ol papa Führer's approved method, and therefore it shouldn't be possible.
