Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Literally impossible when at times the entire thread for 100 posts is der Steamgruppe Scheißtruppen spamming 'white men', painfully unfunny, and willy waggling. This thread needs its own designated janitor.

The third odyssey mod is a ton of fun. I've played Elysia to the point where I control all of NA, but at that point you are the strongest nation in the world. Whats it like playing Vinland or the Spartans?

Painfully unfunny

Ive never done it myself but I would presume similar with less events. There may be some events to conquer scandinavia as th vikins but I dont think sparta has anything.

best post in months desu

Why is it wrong to have blobs in maps but not in real life? I mean imagine describing the habsurbs Austira to a universe were they didnt take power
>Holds like 12 different nationailities inside itsself and has no real geographic natural borders

So which area in each of the games has the least love/design
>EU4
SE asia is painfully bland and uninteresting. This also goes for indonesia and arguabbly India
>Vicky
Pretty much if you are incivilized and not Japan/Egypt/Persia you have nothing going for you. Ya I get it but still
>HoI4
I havent really played this game much but from what ive seen if you werent a major power and even then poor china with your 0 resources and shit focus tree you get nothing.

There is a way to play civilized in Africa in Vicky 2

:^)

What I dislike most in vicky is, how if you're playing a weak country, sometimes instead of making your tools less effective the game just takes you tools away because you can't build anything due to the shitty market system if your rank is too low.
The most failed aspect of the game is probably militancy management, since high militancy is never a threat/actually desirable, when you're civilized and all the tax and tariff sliders do fuck all to influence it anyways.

Why doesn’t Serbia implode in MEIOU, they’ve broken their alliance with Bulgaria

I've been playing around with modding Victoria II so that you can trigger certain songs to events. Here's the first one I just finished. It's triggered by conquering all of the USA as Britain. Just a little short remix of 'Rule Britannia'. I just have to make sure the code works perfectly and then I can upload it. Tell me what you think:

vocaroo.com/i/s1P0NQ3l35cL

It sounds fantastic. A little quiet though, so I had to turn up my volume. How did you trigger music by events though?

A few mods for DH did just that. There's tutorials on the forums. I pretty much just copy and pasted the code over and changed a few pieces of text to fit with V2 instead of DH.

thats new

Is there any way to speed up hpm? Like deleting /cache? I feel like it is getting slower over time

that is just hpm built in bitcoin miner, nothing to worry about

HPM is slowing all games down because it uses your CPU to mine bitcoins for the dev
You guys are idiots for not realising

Why doesn't napoleons legacy work at all

are you playing on the right vicky version?

Ottomans and their seeming ability to siege forts in a fraction of the time of my troops infuriates me no end

I'm okay with sieging. I'm not okay with walking past it.

The AI still does that? Fucking swede kikes.

and they will, somehow, still lose

On this day in 1820 King George III died at Windsor Castle aged 81. Here is his message to the House of Lords in January 1793, asking for resources to counter the threat posed by France following the execution of Louis XVI.

Because none of those people are strong enough to resist
RIP burgundy tho

>opens with HoI$

Willyposters are too smart

Trying a comfy España game, never tried to totally run the economy

Is this even remotely correct,

-bcrats to 100% admin
-NF lectuals to 3%
-built 1 rgo appropriate factory per state
-encourage craftsmen to get them goin

I also did the usual Qing treaty port and African colony

Trying to focus on culture/Industy tech with some naval and commerce

Army is SAD! So im trying to avoid having to fight anyone civilized

Also sphering south america

Guys what's the best event mod out there for ck2?
I'd prefer one that is atleast a bit true to the game so supernatural things are ok as long as they don't go overboard with it.

WTF second time i've seen that, first was hungary somehow being able to rival serbia then BTFO them, still in meiou ofc because how dare paradox make exisiting mechanics work

Try Damascus Steel and Your own Personal Castle

steamgroup pls go

What? im just post a song I like

Time for some free Africa

Dark world

Yankee Doodle went to town,
A-riding on a pony,
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.

Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Goodin',
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.

Chorus ;
Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.


And there they'd fife away like fun,
And play on cornstalk fiddles,
And some had ribbons red as blood,
All bound around their middles.

Chorus

There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion,
A-giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.

Chorus

We saw a little barrel, too,
The heads were made of leather;
They knocked upon it with little clubs,
And called the folks together.

Chorus

And then we saw a swamping gun,
Large as a log of maple;
Upon a deuced little cart,
A load for father's cattle.

Chorus

And every time they shoot it off,
It takes a horn of powder;
It makes a noise like father's gun,
Only a nation louder.

Chorus

It scared me so I hooked it off,
Nor stopped, as I remember,
Nor turned about till I got home,
Locked up in mother's chamber.

Border goals?

I need to protect all these Africans from the colonialists.

West africa at least, then whatever else I can grab during the scramble

Dismantle everyone until all of Africa is yours.

Autosave every month and manually save on the 15th.

Fucking France being a dick

white is every color

What happened. It doesn't say annexed?

yeehaw

>thought +3 bonus to artillery is just pure a bonus
>you actually have to bring more canons to sieges
Oh yes. 40+ cannons for full bonus. Meanwhile average province supply limit is around 35 -40.
Leave them butt naked for enemy attack?

Whats the ideal army composition in EU4 and Vicky2?

what dlcs do I need to disable in ck2? rajas of india and conclave right?

Is /gsg/ hyped for the upcoming Rance X? I know I am!

nate.........

can you please post it when it's out

Yeah you have all your troops in the next province

...

Sunset Invasion

But if enemy arrive there first they will be deployed in front row?

The empire below me broke up, (Praitheria controlled Bengal and the kingdom in between) where should I go to next? How spooked should I be of the mongols?

Started a game in the old gods bookmark with no mods to see how the base game is with everything on out of curiosity. Started as the king of U-tsing and I am finally the emperor of tibet. I fucked up and turned of custom kingdoms and empires by mistake and joined an Indian empire out of fear of holy wars. I was Taoist then became Hindu. Why can Taoist get Jews and hermetic society but the Indians cant when they are all considered eastern religions?

Yeah, though it won't be translated so you'll either have to know moonrunes or wait.

>tfw you've failed Namasensei
so close to N5...

F
Fucking leafs fucking up like always

Turn off lucky nations then.

no because its going to take years to get translated anyway

I still don't get the admin and education sliders

From what ive read it has no direct influence on education and admi eficiency, only the pay of clergy and bureaucrats,

So it only indirectly impacts admin and education by getting pops to promote to those jobs

So if I had 4% clergy on jan 1, turned education slider down to 0%, the education rate didnt slow down at all except for whatver clergy got demoted?

M-maybe some kind english-speaking user from 2chan will give us a step by step translation.

Anyone or should I install my own dynsty in India?

Education spending actually increases the literacy gain rate. Just fiddle with it and you will see what a difference it makes

...

So I downloaded NWO and CWE and chose NWO for my first game because I found some of the provinces in CWE a bit incompatible with the game I started.
>1992 start
>Serbia takes Krajina
>RoC falls to communists while fighting a war with PRC before being annexed by the latter
PRC proceeds to go through a populist revolution but the communist party remains in control
>Mexico somehow takes Aztlan
>India in the middle of a civil war with the Maoists

education spending directly effects literacy gain in addition to the amount clergy earns. admin spending I never have that over like 60% once I have 100% admin efficiency everywhere. put the slider to 100% when you're promoting bureaucrats but put it to like 50 or even lower (providing you dont have healthcare you need to spend on) when you have 100% admin efficiency everywhere because 'crats don't demote that quickly and you get admin efficiency techs as the game goes on

So spending has its own effect outside of pop promotion, cool.

Thanks

Does this look like good western borders?

Go purple + Morocco

does anyone have a black ice save thats around 1941?

how fast does the mod run on your computer?
