yeehaw

No they are more like strasserists/bolshevik. So totaliarian marxists

Yes for 1 and 2. As long as you and your allies are strong enough and be sure you are the one sieging Kyoto, becoming the shogun as a daimyo is pretty easy. And if your navy as Japan is strong, you can take Ryukyu without Ming presence

should I help the turks in the crimean war?

No you shouldn't

"no"

Did a little bit of googling here too, and there seems to be, or there was, a "feature" where your allies, when you become the shogun, turn into independent daimyo. Does it still work this way? Am I better off blobbing until it is just me vs. the shogun showdown, or do allies become my daimyo now?

...

I don't think that happens anymore and Ashigaru is the only one to not become your daimyou, at least when I played.

On one hand you are French and must honour the frog tradition of allying with the Ottomans.
But on the other side you will have to be an almy to the anglos.
I say you help Russia out.

Sieg Heil my dude

they can handle the turks all right
it's time to civilize the krauts

yes

ebin

>no special decision for razing berlin to the ground

What are you going to do frenchboy?
Set fire to the reichstag?

REEEEEEE

I just lost a EUIV Japan game because I got fucked by blobbing other Daimyo. The Ashikaga shogun didn't even do much except take one province way out of their way until I got fucked. I just tried to attack guys left and right that didn't have any allies they could call in. Worked well until Uesugi declared war on me and fucked me quickly.

Did AFPG ever make me that protestant supremacist Taipeng flag?

n-not yet

Make a Catholic Japan flag

God Damn, I really fucking despise this new shitposting AFPG. He was the one (1) decent poster we had and now he's descending lower and lower with eac passing day.

How long before he starts with the faux spanish?

>Aurora isn't in the infographic anymore
Have we finally been expelled from this general?

Wonder what happened to the last Aurora poster he probably got murdered by grandifa didn't he?

WE

epic falseflag

>14 days until MEIOU

I wasn't falseflagging, I was trying to get him to post faux Spanish.

more like you're trying to not be a faggot and failing LMAO owned

- This post has been brought to You by the Radical Yugoslavian ownage department.

I think he just gave up after nobody gave him tips how to control the AI's.
He made very enjoyable posts nonetheless.

God Damn, I really fucking despise this new shitposting AFPG. He was the one (1) decent poster we had and now he's descending lower and lower with eac passing day.

How long before he starts with the dressing up as a girl and posting pictures of himself with stockings on and his hair long and flowing over the porcelain skin, stretched tort over his clavical?

Why would He post in faux Spanish though
Why not just normal Spanish

we civilized now

t. Hitlermod

No i don't t.hitlermod

Oh, okay. I've tried twice now after getting MoH and both times a blobbing shogun was my bane. In the second attempt his expansion even blocked me off other daimyo so I couldn't DoW and had to spend splendor to get the ability create claims next to claims to string across his territory.

This also reminds me, it may have been a coincidence but the shogun seemed to develop a hunger for contested clay. It happened twice to me where I was part of a war, soon after the DoW shogun annexed the wargoal daimyo. This didn't invalidate and end the war, it simply removed the daimyo from war and left an unachievable wargoal and thus no way to get ticking warscore.

>I wonder what faux English would look like.

American English.

that's not faux spanish though

Epic win /pol/! Lol Niggers amirite??

Is taking Iceland and Greenland from Denmark as the US red pilled?

Do you believe in the flat Earth THEORY, /gsg/?
youtube.com/watch?v=wbkqFKdlpQg

It's called playing as Switzerland.

*sighs* ah I see...

what a fucking meme mod

Play as an irrelevant nation in multiplayer(local server, with only you on it)

If Earth is flat, explain this

Researchers are hard at work and the first geosurvey vessel has left the shipyard, lads.

THIS is the real shape of the Earth

Did you start as a TN empire?

>tfw screenlet

?

i hav smol screen :((((

Play Darkest Hour then?

>local server, with only you on it
wut
why?

HPM has explained this many times newfag

Events won't pause the game, so you can just go AFK and leave the game running.

Just so I can get back into the swing of things, since I haven't touched this game in over a year.
Conventional starts are more comfy, I'll go back and do that after running this empire into the ground.

What went wrong?

...

How on earth did you do this? Rush throughput techs?

Is Cradle of Civilization any good, familia? What does it add?

Paradox is garbage. I wonder, did they just switch everyone out after Vicky2? Only CK2 is somewhat alright, everything else is hot garbage.

all my states have liqqy factories and employ most pops

Based Erdogan

He's such a sinister looking fucker. Looks like he could be a bad guy in a Bond movie or something.

Is this CB supposed to do anything is egypt is independent, in my sphere and owns the levant?

hes actually the good guy who promotes stability and order in a chaotic world

...

pretty sure it allows you to conquer the levant for no bb
i'm guessing the ottomans still own that strip of syrian land?

doesn't prussia need all that northern shit sphered to form NGF?

they have only one syrian province left, egypt own the rest

pls respond

they didn't form it themselves, there's an event that automatically forms the NGF if they take too long (~1900s, unless france owns the rheinland, then it's much sooner)
>they have only one syrian province
that's probably it

Not if you take land off of them. HPM added an event that lets them instantly become the NGF.

if you attack for the rhine crisis then NGF and SGF automatically form

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

Reminder that Oswald Mosley did nothing wrong
