with admin you can siege all you like

If you want just core creation reduction, you can take just two first ideas and skip rest. I agree that the group is rather garbage, but if you take it all, you also get 14% admin tech cost reduction, so 24% together. But honestly innovative is better if you want tech cost reduction.

Looks like someone's getting his entire dynasty exterminated.

Weird, I didn't realize that if I have a ducal claim, I'll take all the land of said duke.

i dont get it

He's an infidel in my real, I fabricated a claim on his duchy and took over, and I was going to kill his entire family now to inherit his titles.

He rebelled though, so I imprisoned him and revoked his titles normally instead.

Rule Britannia is cool and all, but after you PU France and have your own personal murder pet to wage mainland wars for you, it gets pretty boring. How does the AI handle playing England now since the patch and expansion?

they take ireland quicker and better

Is HIP actually safe to use? Why couldn't these fucks just give us a descript file and let technologically competent people do the work? Like hell I'm gonna run a random .exe after what happened with niggermod

WHAT ARE SOME EUIV MODS?

Imperium Universalis is pretty gud
Get the pop growth reduction mod along with it tho or every province will be a major city in a hundred years

I actually didn't played hip yet, but I think you can just extract individual zips manually.

better to play a kinda shit mod then playing a completely shit game.

Theres like 30 different folders here and Ive no idea what it what

ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Historical_Immersion_Project

This describes some of them. Basically there is one gameplay mod, one map mod, and rest are just optional graphical things.

Reminder that almost all of them where death row inmates or serving a life sentence

Yeah inconsistent ai is ck2's greatest shortcome. Difficult to keep you immersed considering that ck2 is more rpg than strategy.

omg

But how does the game determine what are cities? "Rural" provinces sometimes have cities in them as well.

What would such a game be called?

Halp

Attached: Y2hwfLS.jpg (1440x900, 395K)

I think they're just calling state capitals "cities" and all other provinces in that state "rural"

Ah, that makes a lot of sense.

Take loans and merc up then. Also, I don't really see how they (France and Muscovy) can get to you easily or quickly. They'd need a lot of access through a lot of nations

The allies actually released Italian prisoners and made them mayors and other local officials after WW2. The thing is, they were mainly thr mafia that the fascist government had imprisoned for corruption, embezzlement, extortion, and other such things. But the allies released them because they deemed them "political prisoners" and "partisans".

That makes it ok

reddit

Just attack them. Lith and horde won't give access to russians and you can roll ottos before france gets there

>tfw only love the economic aspect of Vicky
warfare in Vicky is shit. SHIT!

Universalis- Give us those sweet, sweet DLC monies and we'll make this game playable in 4 years

Of course not but the title makes it seem like they just went and killed random innocent bystanders. It's obviously way less terrible than what the Anglo wants you to think.

nobody cares about Italians anyway

how to give land to nobility clergy and burghers? in EU4

Stop being an epic blobber. Just focus on developing your country and attack when you get a chance. Maybe use the crisis mechanic

state the province
then it should be below buildings

____________________________uninstall.exe____________________________

The only reason you guys hate on EU4 and HoI4 is because you don't have any friends to play multiplayer with.

Don't blame your own social failures on Paradox. These games are the apex of a good time to enjoy with intellectual friends.

In building screen at the bottom. Province must be cored and part of the state. Also for burghers it needs to have 10 development or be center of trade

strategy is only meant to be played single player

The only way to play multiplayer is if noone blobs and generally sticks to historical borders

I'm playing EUIV right now and I'm in a war with Portugal, having peaced out England for Labourd, but the territory I claimed (Braganca) is occupied by Tunis in another war that they won't end. Dunno what to do, is there any way to encourage the AI to end another war?

God I fucking hate cunts who play strategy games like this, it isn't fun to just sit around for 50 hours until the final year when all the turtles come out of their shells just to have their asses handed to them anyway because they never bothered to learn how to play the game.

Mana board game: very popular, play, memes, lol, hitler 15th century? bordergore!

They're also in a war over Gibraltar, which I own, somehow...

So this is the believable world I've heard about
