Old Thread:

What would y'all like to see in a W40k HoI4 mod?

>venice
>genoa

Poor little deli boy.

I feel like the scale wouldnt really work unless its just the Imperial guard vs orks or something.

what are even your goals?

nvm figured it out

Sorry, meant to say Warhammer fantasy. My bad.

This isn't my post, I still want to know.

how are you gonna kick out the Ottermen, lad?

nvm no i don't

This isn't me.

nvm took my meds and realized i am me (we, us, etc.)

what the fuck

allied the poles and aragon(which didn't want any land), turk golden age ended and my fleet looks like is able to hold the bosphorus

You can see from the post timers this isn't me.

So does humiliating the Ottomans end the Oriental Crisis or do I just have to wait for Egypt to do his thing?

Idea autism

Just ally Egypt, beat Ottomans until there's a truce and defend them again if need be.

you can see here *points at crotch* that it IS me

also hungary gifted me 160 shekels
this is wholesome

Waking the Tiger soon

Fuck off you nigger.

make me kike

>Wallachian Wallachia

>He thinks people will play that shit when the savior of Grand Strategy is coming out this month

cool thanks.

Also, do I still get to annex Egypt later if they have all of their starting land?

Please pontificate

Yes. They just need to have their capital in Africa to get the 2 infamy annexation event.

I like the autism but it seem pretty overpowered

Soon Britannia will rule the waves user.

Are you talking about the new EU4 thing? Or something else that is actually good?

I realized that you can just take land totally unopposed from your vassals.

Might be cool, I mean someone just released a LOTR mod for it.

don't care dude stop posting

cuck

what's the point of hearts of iron when the game ends before the interesting part of grandstrategy simulation takes place (what happens AFTER the war)

Yeah. I've still to work out how to get everything off the ground, in the ways of organizing a team and the whole decision making process of what to put in and what to ignore. What do you think of modelling each Race around a specific mechanic, that is having Dwarves get artillery/armor bonuses, the Counts getting manpower replenishment from non-core territory, and Orkz getting a debuff (that could eventually lead to internal fragmentation) when NOT at war?

r8 my eastern europe

huh neat epic blobs in the epic blob game
it's shit retard

hoi is about big manly battles not gay diplomacy

but it could be if you mod it like a real boy

then why didn't they make the battles fun

That actually wasnt so bad. In fact they have buffed Timmy since he isnt a nomad anymore.

I'm not so familiar with Warhammer fantasy, but it makes sense.

Neither am I sadly, I am just basing it off of some cursory research.

Thoughts on nu-paradox's definition of playing tall?

EUIV is such utter rubbish. what the fuck went wrong?

*clicks a button to see a value go up by one*
Boy this is fun

what country inherently makes you want to nurture and protect them?

persia

Nepal

finland

That's literally every game ever. The point to making it fun is believable abstraction.

Coptic Christianity: NOT. EVEN. ONCE.

>DUDERS CHECK IT OUT I FUCKING BLOBBED LIEK A LOT

Banat

The Congo. I like to take the Philanthropic path and make it into a civilized independent African state.

hello nigger

*offers you a generous trade deal*

...

*accepts your offer*

yeehaw

yahoo

test

Its working fine good sir

What should I play for a comfy Czech game? Should I play Moravia and migrate to a comfy location like Sardinia?

why is EU4 so laggy? i tried to play it once but the game was incredibly laggy. i can play CK2, vicky 2 , stellaris, .etc all without lag issues, by EU4 is just very slow. is there anything I can do with files to make it run faster?

>stoppped at vienna

>letting timurids become that
LITERALLY kill yourself

I'm sorry, but subsection V, article IV, of the trade agreement, I'm very sorry but we will have to cancel this little affair. You understand, yes?

If I'm in the position Boer South Africa
Portugal as well, making sure they have a small comfy colonial empire.
If both I make sure Portugal gets Pink Map and South Africa everything south of Portuguese Africa

Cancel? Why would we cancel? Surely this little dimple in our mutual benefit can be smoothed out, if not completely ignored, yes? Certainly a man of your high station can see to it that such a profitable and wealthy deal such as this can be allowed to continue?

>Implying that I stopped

Implying that the timurshits are not collapsing as we speak

La Plata

Not sure what to do after I finish killing England. Spain has Hungary in a PU so I would have to get some strong allies (my current ones are Brandenburg and Bohemia) if I wanted to fight them. This pic is a few decades old actually I have most of England under my control and caribbean, mexican coast, louisiana but not sure what to do after that.

What game? A tall ck2 Bohemia is cozy af.

el argentiANO...

my story begins, bros
any tips?

Take the rhine and then the rest of europe

kill yourself maybe?

uninstall

Play as the ottomans since they are a beginner nation

Is it alright to jump into HFM if I've never played a game of Victoria 2 before, or should I play a few vanilla games to get a grasp of the core mechanics?

you've only downloaded a little of it should be easy to delete

GERMANY

HPM is shit now, get niggermod instead
and yes understand core mechanics first

>boot up stellaris after not playing it since release
>turn up endgame crisis difficulty 4 times
>still manage to win even after they took over 25% of the galaxy
bravo Johan

>stellaris

playing Byzantine from 1377 start date is actually really fun.

carpathia is the biggest fucking meme
that's just Hungary

somehow they ended up under d'Anjou in this game

>HPM is shit now, (3.9.2)
>recommens HPM 3.9.1

>saying niggermod is hpm

>betrothing your 12 year old son to my 37 year old mother

fucking mongloids man

it literally is

it's HPM but with all the autistic shit removed, therefore making it not HPM

>it's HPM
- You
nothing it removes matters and everything it adds is a bad meme

still makes it not HPM

nvm decided to fuck off back to /r/paradoxplaza

What should my Comfy Bohemian borders be? Here is de jure Bohemia, with a somewhat sad two de jure duchies

>apergers survivors on /gsg/ have to tell themselves that a 99% HPM mod isn't HPM just because they don't like the guy who made the mod because he made the OP bad
absolutely astonishing autism on display here

And I have already surpassed that by a bit. Think I want to finish taking Nitra and Meissen but not sure if I want anything beyond that

forgot to add
HURR DURR LOOK AT ME I'M FUCKING RETARDED

99% of something isn't exactly something
