Reminder to report and ignore shitposting

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

Reminder that there are over 900 streets named after Reverend Saint King, and they are all streets that you don't want to be on.

How'd I do?

Bad, kill you're self

bad

I-I'll try harder next time!

The only countries I couldn't name are the island shitters in the Caribbean and Oceania. It doesn't help half of them are still owned by France and Britain.

what is the difference between "forest bantu" and "south forest bantu"? does not having a "north forest bantu" imply that there is such a thing as forest bantus for east, west, and north? does "forest bantu" encompass all of these, and are they all really that separate from the south forest bantus?

Now the question is, with security returning to the fractious old Roman province, where to re-establish a new capital and urban center. The fall of Pritannia saw a rapid disintegration of the economic and social system with the great cities like Eburacum and Londinium being almost completely abandoned. Power has long remained beyond the hills and forests because it was safest to remain far away from the Saxon Shore, a name that has changed in it's meaning over the last hundred years.

The old site of Londinium seems like a good site, but it will take a long time to rebuild the city along with the number of people who will have to be convinced to settle there. Throughout the south there are more populous lands to settle, though we could even keep our capital in the fortress that has served us well for so long. Deva Victrix served the legions well enough, why not for us?

>st vincent and the grenidines
It sounds like a fucking '50s band.

i am a proud south-mideastern plains american

Does HPM even have all these forest bantus? Is it just a meme? He said he only added 8 cultures, and I refuse to believe that includes two different types of "forest bantus".

and my fagtories?

You're Texas, your factories should be Afro-Americans.

at least there's something interesting about these island shitters which is that they all have different pidgin languages combining dutch, spanish, elements of african languages, french, and english. these languages are all pretty underdeveloped and no great works of literature has ever been written in any of them of course but still it's kind of cool

There were four types of them in fact. 'Forest Bantu', 'Southern Forest Bantu', 'Northwest Bantu' and 'Bantoid'

Isn't Alex based?

dude slave-artisans and slave-craftsmen would be fucking BASED poptypes

Do I want to be Bongs or Frogs?

Post proof.

Try obongo or congo (if you feel it, even kongo or congo)

Check cultures.txt, central and southern african group, then localisation files (e.g. 'tiv' localised as bantoid and 'lacustrine bantu' as 'northwest bantu')

Really quite interesting the entire nature of the people there. Slaves brought to work in plantations, then just fucking abandoned in the '60s, with some of the smaller ones having governors who do nothing for them and just act because the position needs to exist.

I don't have HPM installed, load it up and show forest bantus.

Now who could have predicted that this wouldn't have been over by Christmas

I had them deleted matey, I'm the niggermod guy. I don't need HPM anymore so I deleted all backup files.

When are you going to use that sole nuke? I've got blueballs here.

Does it show you how many people have dl'd niggermod?

Meanwhile the foreign origins of Daffyd's many wives is coming to become a matter of some contention in the court. Some have been whispering that he might even bring Gallic, or even Roman priests over.

why do you make niggermod?

Should we? This wasn't even a choice I made, they went to war with me and now I have the option to lock them into treaty with me as foedarati.

Already launched two nuclear V2's at Japan, that's the only reason they surrendered. Not a chance I'm wasting all that manpower BEFORE the fight with the Soviet Union.
Also I want to stockpile until things start looking bad.

new gsg...when....

I thought the Boshin war had a lot of flavor already?

do it yourself you fucking faggot

I don't know; in any case I recently reuploaded the file so if there is dl count, it's refreshed.

I like adding flavor and fixing broken stuff. I'll next work on Boshin war and its background for example.

It's very shallow if you actually know a thing or two about it. There is no flavor for winning as shogunate faction for example, just the decision to become regular japan.

did russianon just get banned

Australia could do with some more coal adding, it's no where near the level it is in real life. They have a single coal province in game but in real life they had and have loads of coal mines.

Starting meiou for the first time. Any tips or good guides to read up on it?

Actual Australian coal right here. Not all of these mines were open in the 19th century, obviously, but far more than a single province should be.

Thanks. Would be nice if you had any info on 19th century coal mining there, but this will suffice in any case.

Biggest problem with Australia is that wool is shit and can't bring the kind of money it did historically.

lol

It's the kind of thing where it would make sense for coal mines to be opened during the course of the game.

Took the decision to make them foedarati in their traditional lands, along with the Jutish settlers in Connaught who revolted a few months later. Planning to go with the capital in Londinium now, for now.

Meanwhile this is what the rest of Europe looks like. The most interesting things are that Roman states are still holding on despite constant revolts and this Mithraic Lucani Greek state in southern Italy.

Stay strong Mithras.

this mod any good?

What's Canada doing with all those radios anyway?

Hmmm.

>What's Canada doing with all those radios anyway?
Profit.

If you're going to be engaging in this kind of brainwashing at least make them Hunnic.

Enough is changed to make it feel like a good Roman-era mod.

Meanwhile I produce 100 percent of tanks in the world

Tanks are useless garbage in V2 that is essentially just moneysink.

You should add a flavor event as the US to build a wall on the Mexican border, consisting of level 6 forts, have it cost a million dollars and reduce the life rating in all Mexican provinces by 5.

It's not just a meme, I mean it could be nice as a sort of statement to the world and potential immigrants that Mexico is a shithole country that they shouldn't go to.

>Mithras
Always the last to fall.

Yeah I've slowly begun to realize this.
Just gonna make more artillery instead

As a joke, maybe. I remember I said i'll add an option to turn on meme stuff like that, or the 'kill all the niggers lmao' decision for SA from robbie meme.

Agree, they have only 2 more attack and defense than infantry and cost 8 times more.
Can't even get breakthrough bonus in combat.

how does all that coal not catch fire while going 2000km through extreme desert

I wasn't joking though, the idea of a border wall is hardly unheard of. The border patrol existed from 1924, with the express purpose to prevent illegal immigration. I just think it would be a cool flavour event. You could make it change public opinion too, making reactionaries, fascists, and conservatives lose militancy and bigly lose conciousness and the liberals, socialists, and communists gain a hell of a lot of militancy.

The issue of the US-Mexico border in general could do with an overhaul though. For example, the exact Mexican cession is always what happens, but there should be the possibility of the US annexing more, the US annexing less, hell, you could even add in events where the US forms two "border guard" puppets of Rio Grande and Sonora, with Texan culture.

Also, a decision for Mexico to re-assert it's claim to the area if the US gets the disunited states event, or some other power gets any of them (rebels force Mormon/Cali release, for example), as the treaty between the US and Mexico no longer applies, as the US no longer owns those territories nor has the ability to stick to their side of the agreement.

And of course, the All Mexico meme. Could fire a Limburg crisis style "everyone vs the US" event, where if they lose they get completely dismantled, with Mexico gaining everything west of Oklahoma, the CSA gaining all their land, and maybe even the UK re-annexing the rest.

>Border
I've seen US getting Baja and at times even Sonora, but take note I never properly played them so I don't know how exactly that happens in HPM.

As regarding Rio Grande and Sonora puppets and flavor, I wanted to do that but in a different way, see
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Sonora

All of Mexico meme will be in, sure. I don't know though how deal with mexican culture.

Is EU4 finally worth it with the MEIOU and Taxes mod installed?

>As regarding Rio Grande and Sonora puppets and flavor, I wanted to do that but in a different way, see
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Sonora
Yeah, that was my thought, but with Sonora and Rio Grande being Texan primary (after all, what is Texan if not American on the frontier with Mexico?) As buffer states. That'd be an option for a US that wanted to keep Mexicans out, yet still exercise proxy control over the Northern Mexican states. Another one you could have them annex Durango and Yucatan for the oil and gold, and sometimes you could even have them just get Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and northern Cali. My point is the current borders feel railroaded to happen in a way that becomes boring. You look over at the US in 1870+ every game and it's always the same thing, CSA lost in a month, US got the exact border they always get with Mexico, whoopie shit.

Speaking of which, the CSA could still use more buffs, it still never wins. I'm not saying they should win every time "white man marches on", but once every 10 games would be more reasonable.

I swear they just make half of them up pre 1900.

By the end of it Niggermod will just be a list of alt history wank for soldiers of fortune.
NOBODY show him this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ever_Victorious_Army
He'd make a path where they can coup China and make it ruled by a literal handful of white men.

Are the books "The Decline of the West" and "Revolt of the masses" actually worth reading? There's another one I can't remember.

On a side note, I've begun another war to kick Russia's shit in, this will probably be my last expansionary war, as long as France doesn't do any funny stuff in Africa.

I'm the niggermod you dingus
>white men in china
You seen redditmod? Event in regards to this army gives Qing abdurd buffs and removes 10 mil/con.

You think I would add that?

I was mainly meming.
to be honest i kinda hoped you would yeah

Can you please add an event to possibly let Iran convert to Protestant or Catholic? There were loads of missionaries there, I asked HPM but that faggot said no so I guess I'm using your mod now.

That sounds retarded as fuck
Why not zoroastrian as well

Possibly them too, there were thousands of them in Iran

Of course. You've opened my eyes.

Britain must be Mithras.

niggermod or hpm

HPM.

Hpm is by far the better mod, don't bother using mine.

t. niggermod

I did it anons
Now I can focus on the war Poland invited me to, some Prussian 'liberation' of a Polish state.

I want this to be an option now Niggermod

and they buff the british isles once again, fucking anglos fuck those shitstains

they should buff glorious Sweden

Yet another episode of ottomen spilling everywhere.

It depends - are you philosophically and politically literate? You kinda need at least a little bit of academic/intellectual background to really get much out of it

>are you philosophically and politically literate?
I'd like to think so. I'm a history major, so everything I've had to read so far has been a biography or some sort of commentary.

Veracruz or Guerrero

porque no los dos

yellow, for the Hammerhead shark look
red looks gross, not groB

Finally managed to make the idea tree display detailed tooltips on mouseover which will be quite useful in case you want to check their bonuses (especially for the ones that aren't unlocked at start and you have no other way of looking them up).

I have a few other things to fix, and considering that the mod is already integrated for M&T 2.02, I'll run 1-2 campaigns after that to stabilize it and will probably release 0.3 by the end of this week
