1.063. What's your checksum with HPM?

If this is actually Kojak, I'm gonna need some proof. I saw you a bunch years ago when MP was a shit ton.

t. Not ((you)) or noty

Again, these are just normal people. I suspect if they were wearing feel the bern shirts you'd love them.

No but I can post it again.
The following war against the British in the early 1910s would be nowhere near as tied casuality-wise, which led to some eu4 vs vicky shitposting.

White & Based

Version 1.063 of HPM? Where do you even get that?

but dude they're fat and white and nerds lmao

Am I being memed?

I'd have to check with my associates. Hold on. This would be a lot easier through Steam. You got Steam, friend?

God, I fucking hate it when Britain keeps landlocked states in Botswana/Rhodesia.
All nations should have events to release as puppets landlocked areas, like Austria does for Bukovina and Galicia-Lodmeria.

No, >host< and I'll join.

Damn, that looks like a fun proxy conflict. I'll have to do that in every game from now on.
Did you sphere them and then join in for status quo?

Think I'll extend the end date and play this WW2 scenario desu
I have absolutely nothing to gain from this, but just besides Rhodesia and Kenya as spherelings, but the Australian theater would be a nice ending to this campaign.
They ended up releasing Rhodesia, but only very late into the game. I'd even understand if Portugal was friendly with them, but they only had German (and later my) spherelings to the east and west, hostile France to the north, hostile South Africa to the south and neutral Germany to the southwest and northeast.
The whole game has been more fun than it looks, it was pretty good.
>Did you sphere them and then join in for status quo?
I had both of them as allies and spherelings, so when the war started they both called me and I accepted Transvaal's call as Oranje is far more fragile than them.

Poland Rises

Can you form the real thing now?

Is darkest hour a lot different than arsenal of democracy? AoD is the only grand strat game I've played so far

...

How did they release Rhodesia? Because it's independent, not a puppet.

did you do this without an ally? how?

>that gibberish
What mod is this? Looks like Polandwank.

Probably through event.

its hpm

I kind of like this Poland, is it lewd?

Can you/are you forming Polska-Lithuaiska?

Needs Bukovina, or at least a Romanian Bukovina.

I agree, it would look really nice with Bukovina in Romanian hands. Romania is easily one of the most underrated nations in terms of aesthetic borders.

yes, to both

Anyone got the link for HoI 4 Kaiserreich download?

The real question though is, will you gas it?

it?

Would anyone be interesting in an AAR from the perspective of the Jewish ruling class of a Vicky 2 nation

Depends on how it'd work

this thread can be the learned elders of zion and I'll be your puppet shabbos goy prime minister in charge of whatever nation is the subject of the AAR

So is the antiwhite spammer from the Discord server, or is he just a random who finds it funny?

my money is on atechan's leftypol

Do it as an America into GroßIsrael for maximum memes
Or as Austria into Großisrael for a Soros meme campaign
Or as the Soviet Union into Großisrael for maximum historical accuracy

>robbie is now antiwhite
how long until he is revealed to be rotschild?

>atechan's leftypol
Why is that still filtered?
You'd think someone would've removed it by now.

>Germanic Pagans Reformed
>Multiple Failed Crusades
>Almost England entirely Germanic
>Catholic Moral Authority is 39.5

I'm playing Ironman and started as Nantes.

My plan is to swear fealty to Francia Empire, take over, and liberate Iberia.

>Why is that still filtered?
probably not good business to allow mentions of competing similar sites on your own
nothin' personal, gentile
Does US have any Jewish pops at game start?

In new york I believe
I also think you can just add a modifier that makes it so jews cant assimilate
Or you can edit your history file to make some yankee jews in new york and dc so that you will always have jews and some will assimilate to yankee jews rather than yankee protty

Does it still give you a ban? Smh desu

No it's just listed as spam.
trying typing "ate"chan

Now Republic of Turkey is my best friend! Even tho they wont crimean war Ottomemes got overthrown

I am in the mood to control the lives of peasants. I've been looking for a sort of pseudo government management game, where you can dictate policy and shit like that, but I want something that will like me go full Hitler and not pussy foot around with. Any suggestions?

Can't you ally Prussia and get them to meme on Russia?
Prussia literally means "Polish Russia".

Im not dealing with P**ssians

i hope you get lebensraumd slav shit

Play as Alaska and annex most or all of Russia.

What a stupid idea.

I want to try EU4 (yeah, I know, I probably shouldn't) but the map is so total ASS that I can't stand to look at it
Are there any map mods that fix it? Make it look a little more pretty?

Does anyone here play vic 2 above the normal difficulty level

I forgot there was a difficulty level. What does it even do?

What the fuck do I even do? Did I mess up? Should I have released all the other provinces first from the british before I started playing Canada?

Gimps the player and buffs the AI, like all other Paradox games. HPM changed the modifiers and made them pretty brutal.

rate my Africa

restart, release but dont click play as, save, resign and reopen the save and play as a puppeted Canada, you will be a GP before 1900 and Brits just give you territories

Literally cheats either for you or the AI.

>noty
Bullshit

so if i'm looking to get into grand strategy games, would CK2 or EU4 be a better starting point?
also which is more fun?

start with victoria 2 stick with victoria 2

what's with the tumor in egypt

Ck 2 is great if you like role playing. Eu4 is pretty trash if you ask me but other seem to like it. Victoria 2 is fun but you in my opinion CK2 is the superior game.

victoria 2 tbqh
ck2 is alright but i don't really think it looks fun so i just ignore posts about it
hoi3 is good and so is dh but i rarely see posts with them
eu4 is shit

Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is pretty good, with the right add-ons.

sweden is faggots

hey guys version 0.0.1 of my mod for eu4 just came out, you can download it here pastebin.com/NqLTbthD

it adds tons of flavor for eu4, the changelog is in the pastebin

what time period is victoria 2? also does it allow for a good amount of role-playing?

Fucking quality.

>what time period is victoria 2
you serious mate?
victorian era, but it goes from 1836-1936 overall

>does it allow for role-playing
it's a grand strategy game, i don't know how to answer that
you can role play as a country with different personalities i guess

1836-1936. Very much so.

also forgot to add, play with hpm
it brings a lot to the game, despite what shitposters (including me) say

>what time period is victoria 2
Are /pol/ immigrants mentally disabled?

Victoria 2 is the game of choice for /pol/tards though.

that's the fucking implication you absolute faggot
are you actually retarded?

Yes.

same

thats true
why were you so rude to him

>Veeky Forums
>Not retarded
pick one

why weren't you?

>no more downloading EU4 mods on steamworkshopdownloader

CKII is confusing and the in-game tutorial is outdated

who needs steam mods when you have my mod?

seriously, name 1 (one) fault my mod has

Even if V2 is the better game, the Victorian era will never be as interesting as the early modern era. And everyone in this thread, playing Victoria, has absolutely shit taste in historical eras.

it's literally the most important 100 year span in modern human history and the age of discovery only set the groundwork for what culminated in the victorian era and beyond

>even if the game is better the concept is shit
this is the worst damage control i've seen in a really long time

sorry sweeties but your game eras don't hold a candle to hearts of iron

>ww2
Ah, yes. The "Haha I'm such a history nerd!" era.

not him but desu i'd probably play it if it didnt look so shit
it looks like a game straight out of 2005

but WWII is just the gay fallout from WWI and established the neoliberal world order
