>Push through necessary wars
>Have to fight at least four wars (one of which was a Great War) to demote Prussia to secondary power
>mfw Britain steals my Suez canal since Spain conquered Sinai because Egypt was allied with Yemen which was conquered by aforementioned Spain and had "Liberate" casus belli which meant I couldn't intervene and in spite of having 6% nitroglicerine RNG just wouldnt let me have it
>Waste 10 bad goy points on taking it back
>France keeps attacking for Alsace every 5 years like clockwork

Do (You) sometimes feel like the mechanics of Paradox games limit the player in a way that feels artificial?

I think it's culturally Danish. Holstein and S-H is German.

that wasn't the point. The point was that none of this would happen if Paradox put a mechanic that would allow for a state transfer between states, especially between empires and their puppets

>>2211951
This is the same dev team that could let you collapse a country from great power status by simply occupying them for a couple of years. Or the pre 1.4 nationwide rebellions.
>>
>>2211951
There is a mechanic for that, it's called console commands.
>>
>>2211951
Why would they add this? It doesn't happen in reality.

What's with all the autistic memes in this place? I posted a game with Germany yesterday and I got swarmed by "HAHAHA GROßGERMANIUM XDDD" posts. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT A NEW PLAYER TO POST YOU FUCKING AUTISTS??

And before that I asked a simple question on how I crack the game and I again got swarmed by fucking autists with all their unfunny inside jokes. Fuck you and fuck those games, they are literally one of the most boring shit I've ever touched. Also fuck the guy in /twg/ who suggested I try out those autistic map painting simulators and "ask for guidance on the /gsg/ general and they will help you". Bunch of manchildren.

Pay no mind to it, it's people from the cesspit that is /gsg/.
They are basically the Jews of this board, they've been kicked out of /v/ and /vg/ and now they're here, refusing to assimilate and trying to subvert the board culture

OP and his epic clitty meltdown is the best example of why gatekeeping is necessary.
Imagine being such a pussy that a few shitposts get on your nerves this much.
I dont even browse /gsg/ but this is embarassing.

at least half this site are tourists now, giving tech to the third world was a mistake, perhaps the greatest mistake of all time.

you can't play as eur*pean tags because its racist, you can only play heckin wholesome nations like chile and sokoto

>>2195742
Vicky 2 would be perfect with eu3's infamy. How fast you lose it, how much you gain, territory cost, everything.
The "maybe they'll find out we're planning to conquer them. OOPS 19 INFAMY!" is bad.

>now I have to create Germany or I will be stuck with bordergore untill the end of the game
that's where you fucked up
