i was going to say report early threads

>1991 – The Provisional IRA launched a mortar attack on 10 Downing Street in London, the headquarters of the British government.
WELL I HAVE BEEN A PROVO NOW, FOR 15 YEARS OR MORE
OF ARMALITES AND AND MORTAR BOMBS I THOUGHT I KNEW THE SCORE
NOW WE HAVE A WEAPON WE'VE NEVER USED BEFORE
THE BRITS ARE LOOKIN' WORRIED, AND THEY'RRE GOING TO WORRY MORE!
TIOCFAIDH AR LA! SING UP THE RA!

based, wish it would happen again....

>A jew appeared at my court

Might be useful in the future.

>he complains about border gore in the middle ages
And now I have three crowns. Not nearly enough.

Guys, non ironically, I've started to say things make my willy waggle habitually in real life, and it's becoming a problem, how do I stop?

>Not taking the HRE with William the Conqueror's Hellspawn Grandson

I do it too, it's normal.

Why expansion idea group is still a thing?
Anyone ever picks it?

>expel jews from my realm
>there are still jews in other courts in my realm

Whats the point?

BOMBER IRISH
DO IT AGAIN

I guess the trade company CB could be useful, but expansion isn't going to be the best choice in any situation.

...

>trade company CB
Its just gives shitty ability to make claims.

>half of the England is plagued with Tuberculosis

How to eradicate it?

Let it run it's course, hopefully the english will be eradicate in a few years.

>2017 – The general of /t. gsg/ officially certifies the Grandi Amendment, becoming the last general to approve the abolition of traditionalism. The Grandi Amendment was formally ratified by /gsg/ in January of 2017.
Based.

WE will rise again, believe that

DH is on sale today, should I get it? I enjoyed HOI4 but i want more depth

Definitely.

So, now that the t. gsg revolution has come about, and we are now the masters of our own destiny, no longer bound by the noose of all those who would dilute and diminish our fair board, what changes must we put into action? We must never forget those we lost in the fight for what we have built.

Legalize waggling.

Ok so I got the basics of vicky 2 down but how do I build my army? What kind of unit composition should I have?

4inf, 4art, 1eng, 1hus is the standart template.
Late game you should replace some or all of the artillery with planes.
Tanks are pretty usseles, only use in a complete deadlock in which the AI has gotten snart and won't attack your fortified positions.

Alright thanks my man. Trying to form Italia as 2 sicilies and everything was going fine until I had to fight austria for the last cores. Also How come I declared war but Russia is the leader?

Oh and forgot to ask and the template for navy?

>Italy as Two Sicilies
bad idea, Sardinia Piedmont gets events to annex the northern italian states and call in France against Austria (Assuming you're playing HPM, if not, play HPM.)
>Also How come I declared war but Russia is the leader?
His army is bigger/stronger so war leader status shifts to him.
>naval template
there really isn't one, just spam dreadnoughts when you can and you'll easily win.

Why play HPM is it kinda like HiP/CK2+? dam I am in the 1880s so Id rather not restart.

its better than the base game and fixes all of PDX's fuck ups.
but if you're committed, then most of what i said still applies. use the mountains and check your generals and wars are a breeze.

Just noticed that my last remaining brother is a homo. Thank god I don't have to kill him.

Ill download once I finis this game. .

HPM is just a general improvement to the game. There are a few downsides as extreme historical railroading and broken events but it's much better than vanilla.
>Naval template
No such thing. Just produce as much of the strongest current battlesip as you can.

Just saw the Op actually and why not get niggermod?

There is no reason not to, at least till the next HPM update. It has some minor but important changes. (Indian RGO fix)
I was pleasently suprised when I booted it up and saw he included options to disable trade policy desicions and puppets giving money to their overlords.
Don't fall for the child porn/virus meme, there isn't one confirmed case of a PC gettimg fucked thanks to Niggermod

Niggermod is just a bit improved HPM, you can choose either and will only miss south african events if you choose the latter.

alright thanks anons. One last thing in the base game how can you genocide? I keep on hearing all the jokes about killing off niggers and muslims in Vicky2 was I memed on?

It's not in the base game you baka, only HPM, Niggermod and HFM have genocide.

HFM is much better than HPM if you ask me

i wasn't asking you

I am silly.
>HFM
What?

moddb.com/mods/historical-flavour-mod

Updated HPM without no major mechanics changes

Reddit stolen compilation of HPM with a few extra retarded changes

Hfm is actually quite good its literally just because its from reddit edgy kids hate it

Ah alright. I think next game ill forshure go with Niggermod. Liquer factories are just to good. Hopefully I can do the thing as two sicilys.

Hola Grandi

It's full of virus and CP, don't download niggermod.

hello, reddit!

which one should i play first if i have a very low-end lenovo g580 and no prior experience in grand stategies?

Is there any worth in trying EU4?

not really

*click*

if you pirate it with all the dlc then yes

whats the name of the dos game user was posting last thread?

What would make EU IV standable?

Ban waggling.

Obviously, that's what I would do. I've been considering it for a while but I always find myself occpuied with either Vicky 2 or CK2

no mana

Where do I go from here? I'm allied with Circassia, just been warned by the Ottomans and Shirvan is allied with QQ

delete the game

Go play Empire TW for awhile. You will appreciate EU4 soon.

First ever go at HPM, I can already tell this isn't my dad's Victoria II. Its not gonna be so easy huh?

>holy warring Iran for my holy site in Baghdad
>almost won when Iraq become independent through faction
>new shah dies almost instantly of disease
>new one was locked up somewhere in my realm cause he is nestorian
Fuck. Well if he doesnt get deposed immediately I can just excommunicate him.

yawn

yeehaw

Is this EXCITING enough for you?

Why is your army so small?

...

Has extra merchant doesn't it? That's a big thing for trade game before you've dominated trade company regions.

post norse horses

I made a horse my concubine once but I can't find the screenshot

What makes these horses pop up in CK2, anyway? I've never seen any.

canadian culture

Some nutjob leader promotes their horse to cabinet & no-one dares argue. You gotta be batshit insane but also have a firm grip on power. And really like your horse.

>can't promote your horse to cabinet as a sane man to mock your cabinet and flaunt your absolute power
Missed opportunity, really.

Well, you can appoint inbred hunchback commoners.

>get a duel with my brother
>killed him in a duel
>still got the trait "kinslayer"

What the fuck? I killed him legally.

You still killed your kind tho didn't you

wut wut in the butt

H8 niggers

I've lost track of how many times I've gotten kinslayer because family members I rescue just get transported to my dungeon and I don't notice until they die and it's my fault

But if I killed him using carriage or a hunter it is all fair game amirite?

Calm down Caligula.

you are a sad little man

Because nobody knows you killed him.

>decide I would try EU4 after all
>start the game
>metal music is included as a DLC for some reason
>disable metalshit
>launch game
>rock music starts playing

What? I just imprisoned my brother recently due to his uprising and he died instantly in dungeon. I didn't get the kinslayer trait.

No idea, maybe it doesn't count if it's justified in a direct action against you

any sensible person does

If I convert to feudalism would my tribal vassals convert with me too? Do they need stone hillforts in their capital provinces as well?

that is what you get for not using your own music folder

I just disable music and play my own but I usually start with the game music until it starts being repetitive

because he died of natural causes

Did meiouguys fix colonial pops yet?

Apparently the recent patch fixes permanent famine and starvation.

This is how he died.

Also the siblings of mine was killed in a plot by my wife. That time I was still not King yet. I know about the plot but just leave it be so that my eldest son had a better time to deal with the fallout when I die.

Like I said, maybe why they were jailed matters. It might not count if they rebelled against you to prevent everyone who squashes a claimant and leaves them in their dungeons from becoming a kinslayer.
I'm talking about random kids getting put in my dungeon when I rescue them from prison

Dying in dungeons =/= killing

*glances right*
*glances left*
*farts*

ahhhhh
