Reminder that Shadow Empire simulates logistics better than any Paradox trash for some reason
>August 28, 2024 – Announcement of Age of Enlightenment:)
johan will never finish the gamenfag will never draw the ui
of course it does. it's a game made specifically to simulate logisticsnext you'll be discovering things like die fugger which is better at simulating trade than eu4, because that's what the devs focused on
trust the plan
how could paradogs simulate anything when the goods arent even simulated
if you had played the games you would know
>>2128645HAHAAHAHAHAAhahahaaaha oh man how embarrassing
i don't get it
then i'll explain as easily as possible (by replyfagging, kys if you don't like it)guy makes this post earlier today >>2128559and then when i come back to look i make this post >>2128630 remembering that i literally helped that fag with figuring out a solutionbut then what probably happens is some other guy goes off of what i said and finds out (by searching the archives) that this same guy is making a number of posts in /vg/ and /vst/, windowshopping for answers, so he makes this post >>2128645and so i came back now and see that, and i think to myself like wow he just got found out... this guy is a dumbass that can't be helped... he'll get numerous answers now and walk off disatisfied, and ask the same shit X number of days later because nothing constructive that anyone gives him will satisfy him
^
yes, i understand that he just asked the same question in two different places at two different points in timeif that's so funny we should really be laughing at people making the same posts in this general for years
i wouldn't normally laugh at other people making the same post because their posts likely wouldn't be trying to fish for answers time and time again to the same damn question like it's their life's biggest mystery
i don't think placed that big of a significance on it, just asked a questionof course the question is stupid because the answer is obviously norso-japanese, but we're not laughing at that, just the fact of asking the same question multiple times
it was an ah-hah moment for me so i naturally laughed when he got caught and displayed like a fool before me
Just "Japanskr"
That’s better, the guy that keeps saying “Norse-Japanese” is obviously wrong. Japan does have several historical suffixes which should be utilized when you’ve got cultures which historically did have hybrids which had the exact same naming scheme.
Fuck Poland. From Japan
i remember doing a smaller version of that in crusader kucks 3 in 769, but it was because i was trying to block the catholic advancement into paderborn
>>2128688ah yes, the wonderful world of memegame2 “trade system,” where you don’t actually trade with a country, no, you’re trading with the Sky Vending Machine™, a magical entity that will buy everything you throw at it at a price dictated by a simple dingus-proof supply and demand system with minimum and maximum hard-coded thresholds. You don’t set customs duties, you don’t need a port, you don't need inland infrastructures, you don’t need ships or crews or even warehouses, hell, you don’t even get to choose what gets sold. everything is instantly vaporized into profit and recreated elsewhere through quantum cloning. forget global supply chains, factories can thrive in the most remote of places given sufficient amount of literacy and ranking in the memegameAny% leaderboard, operating at the exact same efficiency as the ones in the heart of London itselftrade in memegame2 is less a global network of merchants, supply chains, and logistics and more a steampunk Walmart powered by the house of gryffindor where every individual on the planet just inserts a decimal amount of British pounds, presses a button that says "i am an idiot sandwich" and behold, a matching decimal amount of goods arrives to their doorstep in the next instant

i like nihorse
recently i've started getting a little curious about shadow empirecurious enough to try it eveni might be going insane
nbro you better get paid to shill these games
i was the one to first mention shadow empire in this general and i'm not nfagwe just have similar tastes. i also shilled him blackadder
but you're getting paid right
no one in this general is stupid enough to purchase video games
i don't remember anyone mentioning blackadder in hereoh and tropico 6 sucks
of course tropico 6 sucks, it's a stupid cashgraband you don't remember it because you're a newfag
why does the 6th installment of a game series tend to suck? for example dominions 6
they never even made dominions 1 to 4
because everything in life goes to shit with time
>1983 british sitcom>british>sitcom>1983no wonder, if you ever mentioned this slop in here and i wasn't outside enjoying life i'd give a dwayne johnson look and keep scrolling
based tasteless retard enjoying wwe
i don't need to like wrestling to know who that is
Can you explain why Dominions 6 sucks?
it's a dominions game, that's why
Can you go deeper than that?
I'm guessing it's because Dominions is primarily a multiplayer game and most people here are allergic to talking with strangers or any sort of difficulty beyond that of a browser idler game

>>2128843is victoria 2 really as bad as he's been making it to seem? but i never read criticisms such as his the entire time?only good player who understands the game may answer to me with honesty
no
he's not wrong but that doesn't stop the fact that the game is very one trick pony with ass war/blobbing gameplay
he's wrong on the sky vending machine buying stuff, it's more like a sky instant global delivery system and it doesnt buy excessalso factories get bonuses if their resources are local

>>2128872>name your syncretic culture after your dynastythat's a pretty good idea, though since the nation tag is supposed to have some sort of dynamic chinese dynasty naming system it seems a little redundant to have both. Plus it wouldn't fit with out existing chinese cultures which aren't named after the current ruling dynasties. Maybe that would make more sense for Japs, I don't know much about their naming conventions other than the first and last names are flipped around.
You've been given two decent ideas and you refuse to use them because you're a pathetic weeb and you want nippon desu in your larp culture's name.
nihorse is NOT a good idea
I said I liked Japanskr, I've obviously still got time to bounce ideas around though. Historically I've done Sino-Norman and Indo-Norse though so I want to be consistent
nihorse is the best thing /gsg/ has come up with in months
indorse...
Take whatever region of Norseland you came over from and render it like a Japanese loanword. Add -jin. Bosh.Example: VisubijinExample: SherandojinExample: Okunijin
My point is: there are so many ways to make a culture or a placename diegetic and feel like something that could occur naturally. Just smashing adjective-noun together is like you pulled it from a Wikipedia article. It sounds lazy, it says nothing. But you don't seem confident in your brain or secure in your imagination.
polanjin
cootbusjin... memugamu2...
I see your point, I think I'm just being skewed by "Indo-Norse" being the predominant meme norse hybridization all the way back in CK2 when it was turned into a mod. Norman though definitely needs the adjective-noun smashed together because they had multiple real-life hybridizations which used that exact system.
What about Nihónskŕ
stanislav nihonski
Hinomoto is fine
49That just comes from a ck2 achievement and it's a play on "indo-greek", which is a purely archaeological name. It's such a soulless way to describe a long-dead culture, especially one that currently exists in your world. The Indo-Greeks didn't call themselves Indo-Greek. Paradox continued with it into ck3 because it's an easy way to ensure compatibility with every combination and so the AI can't fuck it up.Think about which way your culture develops: does it remain a ruling class, retaining most of its traditions, their old language as a court language, treating their subjects like cattle (e.g. Qing, Ottomans)? Do they slowly incorporate local culture, language and religion into their own court (e.g. Persianate dynasties)? Or do they just start humping the locals to the point that they become indistinguishable from them apart from some loanwords and a few cultural influences (like the Norse tended to do irl: Normans, Gallowglass, Rus')? ^ notice how they aren't called Franco-Norse, Hiberno-Norse or Polano-Norse?

>indo-greekwhat ameri-mutt sees when looks in mirror

Anon, I haven't been thinking about it all year. I saw some "who are you going to play first" post last night and I thought about it again. I was undecided last time and I'm still not certain now, though I think we've made some progress with Nihónskŕ
you might as well keep thinking about it till december when they drop the asia update
yeah Indo-Greek is a pretty stupid label tbdesnobody would ever call themselves that. same for Indo-Parthians, Indo-Scythians, and Indo-Europeans
indo europeans arent a thinganglo-indians however...
Yeah, or Siculo-Normans and Italo-Normans.
>cretan cultureThe culture shit is why I can´t stand CK3 anyways. I pray that EU5 is good just so that CK3 and Vic3 are obsolete.
>>2129161It wouldn’t be that bad if they allowed for more granularity in the game rules. There are like 5 different game rules for fags, marriage, and inheritance but no sliding options for who is allowed to form hybrid cultures.Ideally I’d have all hybrids enabled for the player and only the special hand-crafted hybrids (the various versions of Outremer, for example) available for the AI so we don’t see Swedish-Finnish and Turkish-Persian every single game.Also hate that I can’t turn de jure drift off. The ai makes an abomination of the de jure map every fucking game
this is what a blobbophobia leads toplaythrough for the sake of racemixing two random tribesextremely sad
If you see a win, it was made by Warhammer, post it.
remember to preorder eu5 for the preorder bonus!
>You generally cannot call your liege into your own wars in games like Crusader Kings III because the game's mechanics prioritize the liege's autonomy, and it may create gameplay imbalances if vassals could directly involve their liege in their own personal conflicts. Instead of direct alliances, you should focus on other diplomatic means, such as forming a faction with other vassals or getting an alliance with a ruler outside your realm to fight against your liege.
more fart events!

imagine just motorboating these pompous breasts and making "brrrrrr" sounds as she can't stop herself from laughinganyway, what's your first playthrough of EU5 going to be? I am probably going to play as Brandenburg and go Prussia. But I am going to roleplay in the sense that I will play my first playthrough "blind" without fully knowing the game mechanics and learn by doing, which extends the period of challenge in the game, before you inevitably starting snowballing out of control

Does anyone remember the Falconcrest Daughters?
i remember jerking off to them, alexstrasza, sylvanas, and a ton of lewd fan art on the official wow art page
They are the reason why I prefer playing Crusader Kings II with a fantasy mod. Because instead of randomly generated characters, which popped into existence, when you clicked on the "create new vassal" button, you are actually interacting with real characters, who have a backstory. So when I took away the territory of the Count of Falconcrest, I gave his daughters bishoprics, because the red one was a mage and the white one was a preistess and it felt appropiate to have his territory governed by his kin. I would never do this, when playing normal Crusader Kings II. There is no legitimacy mechanic. It doesn't matter that the new randomly generated rulers lack any legal claim to the land. You don't get rewarded for grooming distant family members of the previous ruler, except a -1% revolt risk, because they share the same local culture.38They aren't actual wow characters though. I made them up for my AAR.
that's stupid, characters in-game can be just as impressive as those in mods. they can be of a significant dynasty, or have impressive traits, or otherwise interact with the world in a significant way.
>I like girls, because they are nice to look at, not because I want to be them, faggot. You have Cute Aggression Syndrome.>I am heterosexual.i wasn't actually accusing you of being a literal homosexual, but yes i was being aggressive because your tactic invites homosexualitybeing aggressive because you have also confessed in the past that you like to roleplay as a woman when you post that tranime avatar which you have posted as, time and time againanyways, and i repeat myself...away with you faggot
>you have also confessed in the past that you like to roleplay as a womanNo, you misunderstand. It's more like sending a pokemon to battle to do it's thing like being smug, when posting the picture of a smug anime girl, not wanting to be that girl.
Are you that fag that’s always playing as some immortal girl and cheating
no, i recall you explicitly stating that using exclamation points in your text makes you sound more like the persona you are trying to roleplay as, that you sound more like a female when you use exclamation pointsthat would seem cute if you were actually a woman, but since you are not, this behavior can be seen as being psychologically manipulative
and if your intention is to roleplay as a woman when you act like this then this is really queer and you should be dismissed because we don't deal with this kind of behavior
>>2129247Planning on doing England just to learn the ropes. I think they even have a tutorial. After I’m comfortable I want to do something memey. Potential options include>The Knights>Athens>Teutonic Crusade against the Aztecs>Oda Caliphate>Greenland>Norse resurgence
I never cheat and immortality in Crusader Cucks is boring. Also playing as women fundamentally doesn't work, unless you turn on matrilineal marriage, which is not just ahistorical, but also not very fun.I just think it's funny to write like that. I do have an author mentality. I can seperate what I write from myself. I guess normies aren't able to do that and if authors didn't have any social prestige, they would probably constantly accuse them of thinking what they make their characters say.I guess you also accuse Westblood of being queer, because he roleplayed as Jaina Proudmoore in one of his campaigns and used AI to clone her voice, so it's really like Jaina is playing the game, finding a husband and conquering Lordaeron for the Alliance.
looks like someone's upset over simple images of phalia
women in ck2 are op because as them you can stack bloodlines
>westbloodliterally who?>I just think it's funny to write like that. I do have an author mentality.it's okay to do that... so long as you aren't posting tranime
>literally who?Just a /gsg/er, who made a Youtube channel and honestly roleplays his characters in a straightforward manner, without doing stupid quips or any hint of irony poison. Even when he explains his strategy and what units he uses to create OP armies he always does it in-character. I basically watched a video of a Nazgul explaining his strategy to win the War in the North for his Dark Lord. YOU might think he is cringe for this, but I didn't cringe once! In fact ... I think his videos are rather charming!Also here another anime girl to make you mad!

I am playing as Nejd in Victoria 2 and I am still a primitive in 1875. Also, I keep having to concede all of my East African colonies to Portugal and the United Kingdom.
if youre still najd in '75 you fucked uprestart and form arabia
Oh, I did form Arabia but nothing particularly changed. I just have tons of cores on nations that I can't possibly defeat.
ok but where are the screenshots?
idk then usually you take your land, get sphered and beat up the turks with the russians or british
We are still a long way from becoming civilised. Our army consists of just 3000 irregulars so we can't restore order to Yemen.
you chose a terrible country to learn the game withand basic cavalry is a much better choice for uncivs than irregulars. it gives you recon which nullifies dig-in (that -1 penalty in battle not due to terrain or rivers) and is faster than infantry which lets you more easily pick your battles
did you know that buhkara and byzantine empire share the same color?
and russia is the same color as libya
this is some kind of meme how could you have just a single army unit, let alone not having enough soldiers to fill it up
low population density coupled with devastating desert attritionwhich is exactly why crimeamod puts all soldiers in state capitals like bureaucrats, which fixes the problem of low pop density countries not being able to field any non-understrength brigades
Arab nations have very low populations and they take tremendous attrition whilst sieging deserts and mountains.Individual European capitals have a larger population than the entire Arabian peninsular.
would've thought that it's easy to civilize as arabs since you start in a battle royale never played in arabia itself
I think that the secret to winning Arabian wars is to let your enemy siege everything down apart from your capital and then obliterate their starving stack with your fresh stack.

v3 has a lot of problems, but euv seems like it has a ton of tiny autistic details that were created because someone watched my tismo campaign posting and added features specifically for me.

and actually i don't know how weak my hardware is to run eu5 on max settings, it runs crusader kucks 3 well enough but 32 gigs of ram is something i do not have so i'm going to have to buy more ram ontop of who knows what else, maybe upgrade my ryzen 5 2600 to an am5 which will mean new mobo and maybe maybe just maybe a new gpu

iran is such a big downgrade compared to persia
is it though? it's a direct reference to their aryan rootsjust like the shah called himself aryamehr — the light of the aryans

persia is a better sounding name and invokes images of cute empiresiran on the other side reminds you of sovjet style apartment blocks
my imagination is different than yours, then
yeah, they've always been calling themself "iranians" but now one of the oldest civilizations gets confused with iraq
doesnt matter anyway, the caspian sea is losing 8m in waterlevel by 2100, northern iran will see an aral sea type disaster and turn into another salted desert like central asia
only by retards who confuse austria with australia
they don't know that iranian actually means aryan lol stupid retards
some of them do, but think "aryan" refers to persians and indians and is not simply what proto-indo-europeans called themselves
for an accurate depiction of persia, refer to that movie whose director poured many hours of effort into researching for, simply known as, 300

>>2128655Are there any games where your information on your opponents is extremely limited beyond where your borders are? Like, say, getting information on border changes in faraway lands month or even years after the event, or having only rough estimates on other nations' economic and military capabilities which could be wildly wrong depending on your (and their) information abilities.

is that why they use ai for portraits now

out of all their recent games, hoi5 is the one that probably won't include 3d portraits, considering how much hoi4 modding depends on portraitsplus that would require them making 3d models of gitler and co
just sticking to the black & white real images would be too logicalgotta somehow spent time and money to make them match the "handpainted" style
How would Hearts of Iron V even improve upon Hearts of Iron IV?

they've imposed this "hand-drawn" style on themselves, then people who were drawing all these portraits went away so now they're making these oily looking portraits trough ai

>>2128655Can someone explain why garrisons are magic in every PDX game?Big part that made invasions harder was that you had leave a significant part of your army behind to garrison occupied forts. But in every PDX game, garrison just comes out of nowhere.
because paradogs games arent real strategy games, they are arcade games.in dominions 6 for example, which is a real strategy game, you have to manually garrison forts, if its required for your strategy.
i don't knowi've been playing empire: total war and it is really interesting to have to leave troops behind so that my newly conquered cities don't rebel and the enemy doesn't take emreally puts a throttle on conquest

If you could just fill every fort with giga garrison and force AI to attack you, it would make wars even easier. Also, in Eu lV and CK2/3 having to fill and manage every fort would add a lot of micro management. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind proper fort garrisoning, but it would require major war system rework.

what does liferating even do in v2?
popgrowthevery point above 30 gives 0.01% pop growth to the province (up to 35) and 40 gives 0.09 instead
more liferating means it attracts more immigrants and the people there make more babbies. it's basically the quality of life.

ah yes, nothing screams memegame like 20,000 sorbian artisans in cootbus churning out artisanal clipper ships in the marshy floodplains of lower lusatia, 300 kilometers from the nearest ocean. every morning jan and sławomir roll out of their shoelace hovels, sit by the spree river, and handcraft three-deck ocean-going vessels with nothing but twine and leftover manure, which are then instantly teleported to liverpool’s docks because the sky vending machine decreed britain needed them yesterday...the game cheerfully ignores the fact that not a single tree in the area is large enough for a mast, and that the local carpentry guilds have never seen a ship longer than a bathtub. logistics, literacy, material shortages, and physics? irrelevant. every clipper magically arrives fully crewed, fully provisioned, and with a navigation system that somehow knows the wind patterns of the atlantic decades in advance. even better, cootbus pops continue their normal daily lives of tending tiny vegetable gardens behind cramped brick hovels, mending worn-out shoes for the local aristocrats, grumbling about the latest prussian tax edicts and composing minor poetry about the floods of sprjewja while simultaneously fueling the global trade economy with zero infrastructure investment, because memegame2 firmly believes that a dozen shoelace-mending blokes arguing by the spree all morning is all a nation needs to dominate global commerce, not a book that's called "how to build a sailboat 101"

i'm not sure which stellaris is the stellaris wiz ruinedi really like stellaris 3.1415926 (the last stellaris before they went 4.0), i used to think stellaris was irredeemably dogshit after they removed 2 of the 3 ftl types back in 2018
problem with stellaris is it is 3d for no reasoneverything would run so smoother with HD sprites2d sprite can be gritty and very realistic where as 3d models just look like poorly molde plastic models or toy pieces, lacking detail
johan is fat and should be hated by default
Yohan is a mighty t. wizard who makes great games!
heh, if you think think stellaris 3D models look bad, wait until you look back on age of empires 3, diablo 3, mechcommander 2 and starcraft 2those were the sequels which started pushing out the 3D bullshit and turned their respective franchises from kino to dogshit
starcraft 2 looks good though? before they started adding a bunch of shitty skins.

Little tall Byznatium run. We have successfully pushed the turks back to Armenia. The Basileus thanks the great house of Ben Ari for financing our war efforts. At the same time the pope seemed to value Egypt over Hispania and thus directed a crusade for Cairo. Leaving. Leaving the Umayyads to grow immensely. In Persia the Abbasids and Afghan Seljuks took over the last Mazdan Persian holdouts. And as the Rus are failing, the Goths and Poles continue to spread Orthodoxy into the north east.

We could have conquered so much more. I had no idea that army technology was so overpowered. 60k Japanese people were obliterating 300k Chinese people in open battle.
The final scores. Germany was number 1 for quite a bit but then they got bogged down in wars against Austria and France.USA never let go once it got the number 1 spot and continued to steamroll ahead.

Some thoughts about Victoria 2 uncivilised nations:Nejd suffers from being as relevant as a large town and can barely get 3000 men to stand in formationPersia is easy to westernise but they are completely surrounded by more powerful nations. You do have a half-decent population to work with but you will likely struggle to become a truly great empireJapan is very powerful from the get go and can easily westernise within 15 years and then go on to dominate East Asia. Almost certainly a shoe-in for top 5 great powerI was going to try China next but they look to be extremely overpowered when they westernise. Thinking about trying a western nation such as France. May your Victoria 2 runs be blessed with low infamy and high RGOs

you're trying so hard to sound like you know what you're talking aboutmods like hpm will gimp the ai to go into rebel spirals; and even if they don't they will not build up to 5% soldiersthen you have crimeamod where the ai plays better than most players
can you really say Poland should have a united identity given that it had been fragmented for nearly the entire 200 years leading up to the game start
can you really say Great Britain should have a united identify given that it had been fragmented for nearly the entire 200 years leading up to the game start
is hpm the mod that gimps ai the hardest?
the poland split after boleslaw was really more of a >h >r >e situationit wasn't separate nations just a couple brothers owning different duchies but the power of the one that held the biggest duchy and the title of the king waned so they did whatever they wantedit wasn't like russia and ukraine where it's literally the same people but through 15 years of propaganda they start larping as if they were their own thing for millenia
no, hpm does it comparatively littlethen you get into the "redditmods" like hfm, gfm, tgc, whatever those stand forthose mods add a lot of unnecessary changes and puppets and substates. the ai is truly braindeadsomeone here ironically posted a video of a youtuber playing crimeamod and i ironically watched it. the takeaway was that it was too hard because he couldn't play meme nations while being as bad at the game as he was

How goes your current grand strategy campaign?
i'm playing britain, i'm currently spending billions to house migrants in hotels but militancy is still risingwhat do i do
that was a good walk
>what do i dotry uninstalling vic3
Do you think that future game developers will make grand strategy games about our current era?
we dont even have gsgs about the cold war, why would they make games about the nothing ever happens era
they wont just like modern ones dont have the balls to make gsg post 1945even the few modders who try to mod cold war campaigns end up getting nowhere and having 99% of their resources diverted to endlessly talking with eachother about how mr president of the united states nugfucker would totally put out a presidential decree to gas all niggers if he were allowed to win and how glad they are that president bugfucker won the election instead
my campaign is going goodi have stabilized after both austria and prussia declared war on me and i've fought a war against the turks and took crimea and moldavia
It would be a shame if France were to lose a single settlement.
still no clue how they allowed that
a real cold war gsg would just be about american plots to kill White people and it would make ussr look like the good guy
I love razing a territory you need for a mission then waiting 40 years before you can colonise to complete the mission.
Wow, you really can become the Pope. Probably quite overpowered if you can get to this point.
isnt suomenusko the easiest to reform?pagan faiths in general have access to all the good stuff and everyone else gets jack shit
They didn't seem too bad I guess. Just spammed county conquests to get moral authority high. 3 of the holy sites are very close to each other.
Reforming religions is OP and lets you select a bunch of overpowered stuff, but none of them give you the Catholic crusade treasury which has every Catholic in the world chipping in to give you tens of thousands of ducats to go with your free kingdom.
i thought you only get the treasury if you dont take the kingdom for yourselfmeanwhile after reforming pagan faith you just declare great holy wars on your own instead of relying on the pope ai
You get the treasury regardless depending on your war contribution (which if you're strong will be 100% when you win the war before everyone else can get there).You can also request crusades or redirect a crusade anywhere you like so its not much different from calling it yourself aside from the 2 year buildup period for the treasury.
>>2133175>>2133179I've only ever taken the entire treasury once, and it seemed to be a bug. It was also ridiculously broken.
Working as intended, as wiki states it all gets granted according to war participation. This also means tens of thousands of prestige and piety.Even if you don't cheese it with overwhelming firepower winning before anyone else shows up, a decent kingdom's army can score 20-25% war contribution and get 5000 or so ducats. Make sure to check if any holy orders are available before the crusade starts.
>>2133210>Working as intended, as wiki states it all gets granted according to war participationI was most definitely not the only war participant.
War participation is a score based on how much you've contributed. If there's 100 rulers in the war but you do 90% of the work then you'll get 90% of the money. The current war participation scores are in a tooltip somewhere that you can find.
>>2133234Yeah and I was doing the features character challenges for that Irish ruler. I remember it well because it was also the only time I became immortal. I had to cheese the crusade so I got all the siege progress to ensure I won, but I shouldn’t have gotten everything. In my several thousand hours of CK2 I’ve never been the only one to gain war score in a crusade, even when I was redirecting it to India and no one was near me.
just finished beating carriongreat game 10/10

was it eu3 or 4 where every month all your provinces would pop out the income with a sound (and lag spike)that was really annoying
i like playing gsgs but because i'm oftentimes not in the mood to type out my aars i don't post my gsgs

I agree, the journey from starting weak to becoming strong is the best part about playing grand strategy games.

best part of blobbing is reinventing the blobpreferably something that looks good, and not ugly and roman-like

no in citystates only citizens born and living in the city are human, everyone else doesnt matterhungary lets everyone pretend their voice matters

without the transes there would be almost no mods, you either play the girlcock mods or blandnilla

how does v3 treat pops migrating to places like south americado irish immigrants get turned into brazilians in 4 years or do they remain irish
assimilation doesnt really happenfrom release up until the latest release every anglo country gets flooded with indians and ends up like 80% indian by endgameyou need the law that accepts all pops to assimilate properly, but since it accepts all pops theres not even any reason to assimilate
thinking about girlswhat about you
me, i'm thinking of musket combatwhen do you really transition from shooting at one another to a bayonet charge? suvorov would say to just skip the shooting part and charge immediately. me, i think it's more of an art than an exact science
hmmmthat's better than memegame2's lazy and outdated way of handling it i guessalthough in shitlaris you can control which races get 'assimilated' and which don'tmemegame3 should've been like that too when they released itwiz being retarded
^next cootbus/otterwallsoftexts when?
i'm not the fake otter poster
i dont know why you would think that every anglo country being 80% indian by 1936 is a good way of handling thingsits 1936 not 2036i genuinely cant comprehend it, even if you want to shit on vic2 at least canada is canadian in it even if something like indians migrating there and instantly turning canadian is silly
>even if something like indians migrating there and instantly turning canadian is sillyi've been saying that this whole timewhen italians and germans moved in great numbers to brazil they didn't turn brown nor did most of them mix with the portunigger muttssame could be said about the japs, but actually from what i read the japs went through a small period of getting fucked with by brazilian society because of worker rights which then led to them refusing to learn portuguese so they took non-assimilation to a whole new level
i have been reading the warlord chronicles and I don't know why people are so terrified of the Brits here when they've been invaded and occupied so many timesRoman conquest (43 CE).Anglo-Saxon migrations (5th–6th centuries).Viking invasions and settlements (8th–11th centuries).Norman conquest (1066).Later medieval incursions: e.g., Welsh wars, Scottish wars, Irish campaigns, but these were more internal consolidation by England.Spanish Armada (1588, failed).English Civil Wars (17th c., internal).Napoleonic threat (never materialized).WWII German threat (Battle of Britain)
>why people are so terrified of the Brits herenot sure what you mean, but okaythe saxon stories are a good readi only covered the first three books though
i could snap 10 anglo necks with my bare hands

Damn, Hungary is quite tough. We missed out on the Moldavia RNG but Wallachia, Serbia and Bosnia were all vassalised through the mission tree.Poland is our ally, as are Milan and Naples. Mamluks are open to an alliance.The Ottomans might be in some serious trouble.
you literally took 3 whole states for free within 10 years whats so tough about that
Sorry, I meant tough as in strong. Hungary seems much more powerful than I had anticipated.
i don't like hungary because there's no logical way of creating an epic empireif you blob south you look like an amorphous blob, if you take the extent of the habsburg empire you're just a brown austria, if you blob north you blob into your best friend
not you but i hate austria that blobs south as wellthe best you can do in regards to the southern border is historical austria anything more is just "lol i blobbed and shat my pants :DDDD" it looks ridiculous and fucking retarded
this looks good to me
Yeah, but we would just play the white nation to the west if we wanted that.
.....white?
If the Ottomans win this then they truly are the main character.
if they beat you there you might as well throw your pc in the trash and never touch a video game again
The Ottomans had better pray we don't get become Hungary for more.
>Teutons get a meme mission route to become nomads and can become the Mongol Empire>Hungary cannotstill waiting for justification
let me give it a shotgermans are turkshungarians are not
I forgot about that, do they get a formable for that?
not a unique onebut if you have the government you get at the end of it, you're eligible to form the Mongol Empire even without reforming a successor state
>you're eligible to form the Mongol Empire even without reforming a successor statewow thats 5 times more retarded than i expectedimagine being like the given history guy in a room and youre forced to explain how and why such a thing is allowed in your historical simulator
what, you mean horseback crusaders creating a Catholic Prussian state stretching from Moscow to Balochistan to Nanjing ISN'T realistic?
no comment
I'd respect the decision a lot more if they had some sort of meme title they formed like The Empire of Prester John or something instead of being the same Mongol Empire tag. That's retarded. It could at least be a unique version with Teuton colors.
again, they really should have given something similar to Hungary and Finlandat least go with the meme that actually exists instead of drang nach osten on steroids

You remain seated in your armchair... I have a nation to lead.
forts are very importantbut that guy lacks a fort in tulcea to defend from the poles if they ever decide to rival and backstab him (as the ai tends to do) the +1 defence bonus from swamps is not great but it's better than nothing

Before we build a manufactory in Oltenia vs after we build a manufactory in Oltenia.Trade value went from 0.32 to 0.87Production value went from 0.67 to 1.79That is a pretty huge double dip. We profit from both the production of the good as well as the trading value of the good.Long story short: Manufactories provide more value than they say. You should build them.
100 years have passed. It seems that we have merely exchanged a green blob for a sand blob.
why did we stop expanding?the holy lands yearn for liberation
yes, goods produced increase trade value as wellwhich is why you may hear people saying that +20% production efficiency from national ideas is shit while +20% goods produced is amazing, because the former affects only production income and the latter affects tradeit's also why merchant republics are so powerful: they increase goods produced in every province in the trade node not owned by themselves by the percentage of control of the trade node, up to +100% goods produced — double the production AND trade incomeand while all this may sound cool it's also incredibly fucking gamey and at the end of the day an exercise in stacking modifiers which is the primary reason eu4 is a bad game
but he didn't stop expanding, he took the lowlands which are much more valuable than sand
nah look at yesterdays screenshot he actually lost some to england
We stopped conquering because we want to roleplay as a peacekeeper.Aragon controls most of Burgundy. We actually fought a war against them to cut them down to size.With respect to the manufacturing stuff: I can definitely understand how the good produced modifier can scale out of control. Imagine controlling multiple trade nodes and spamming manufactories in all of their provinces. Both the production and trade value would be in the 100s of ducats.

it cites the American Heritage Dictionary, and checking its page it does indeed assert that
Are anons just figuring out that the English language is the result of numerous invasions and occupations on the blessed isle of Briton?
