And a new age dawns!
Even though my regent has been in power for less than four years, she has become so popular among the nobility they want to make it permanent.
Meanwhile my court grows ever larger. This guy shows up and I put him to work on my council, but he dies just a few years later.

>Hordegaming™How fares the campaign anons?
the challenge is to not quit the game because of boredom in first 100 years?
the main goal of any Hungary game should be to genocide the Romanians and Slovaksthough Paradox predicted you would try to keep Trianon from happening so they added an event to make all of Upper Hungary Slovak even if you got rid of them all

>>2346451Cool it down with the anti-semitic & anti-Victoria 3 remarks.
The emperor's hatred of the "Jews" was based on his deep conviction that they had "crucified Christ."However, Alexander III soon had to moderate his open antisemitic fervor. The beating of Jews caused international protests and caused economic damage. In 1884, he wrote to Warsaw Governor-General Gurko, who reported another pogrom: "Deep down, I am always glad when Jews are beaten; nevertheless, we must not allow this in any case, because they enrich the Russian land."
but the innocent russian jews were frolicking in the steppes of central asia and praising tengri when pontius pilate was faced with the choice of sentencing jesus or facing an open revolt

I’m about to play landless for the first time in CK3. I want to open up by traveling around and collecting some ideal concubines + a wife. What is the best way to go about that? Just traveling to their location and seducing them? Will I need to kidnap them because their liege wouldn’t give them as concubines, or can I just convince people with high opinion to join my company? Should I go Explorer + Voyager to speed up my travels, or is that not really necessary?

Playing as the Normandie adventurer. Seems like they’ve nerfed the more explicitly broken adventurer stuff from what I can tell. Doing the criminal stuff first because it seems to be the most lucrative now, plus it synergizes with me stealing the best artifacts from around the world.

13) When asked what motivated him to wage a struggle against Soviet Russia and what goals he pursued in this struggle, von Ungern replied that he was fighting for the restoration of the monarchy. The idea of monarchism is the main force that drove him onto the path of struggle. He believes that the time is coming for the return of monarchy. Until now there had been decline, but now there must be growth, and everywhere there will be monarchy, monarchy, monarchy. The source of this belief is Holy Scripture, in which, in his opinion, there are indications that this time is arriving precisely now. The East must inevitably clash with the West. White culture, which led the European peoples to revolution, accompanied by centuries of general leveling, the decline of the aristocracy, and so forth, is subject to disintegration and replacement by yellow, Eastern culture, which was formed 3,000 years ago and has been preserved intact to this day. The foundations of aristocratism, indeed the entire way of Eastern life, are extremely sympathetic to him in every detail, from (religion? - L. Yu.) to food. The notorious "yellow peril" does not exist for Ungern. On the contrary, he speaks of a "white peril" - European culture with its constant companions, revolutions. Ungern never attempted to set out his ideas in the form of a written work, but considers himself capable of doing so.

74yes
Being a huge Eu4 fan... I'm super dissapointed by Eu5. Sure at launch was fun-ish with new unknown mechanics. I decided to wait to see if they fixed the game to make it more "fun". But honestly i almost wish this was eu4 at its current state with all DLC but with a new engine better performance (more provinces and smoother game play) and good multipayer support... Instead we got this nightmare which I havent been able to even put more then 2 attempts in to a campaign after literally thousands of hours on eu4. You want to play 10s of hours and hundreds of ingame years to look slightly larger?
its more like victoria than it is an EU game its basically just an economy simulator
There is too much to do in this game. Why add features if players are just gonna automate them anyway? Playing wide in this game is a nightmare not only because it takes 10 years to integrate a single province, but also because there are too many small countries. Like seriosly, if I want to unite Japan I HAVE TO BUILD UP 20 SPY NETWORK AND FABRICATE A CLAIM IN OVER 100 PROVINCES. HOW IS THIS FUN!?There is a difference between adding fun features and just adding slop that does not add anything of value to the game. Honestly EU4 is more fun.
I love grand strategy games and have WAY too many hours in this series and the CK series. I really wanted to love it, but it feels slow and not thought out. I'll come back in a couple of years, but really disappointed. I know Paradox has had a history of poor initially releases, but feel like this is unplayable just for the time commitment. You can play 100 years in CK3 or EUIV in a matter of a few hours. I spent nearly 10 hours playing to move less than 40 years. It's like they thought people wanted more micro tedium instead of choices that really matter in the long run.The glimpse of hope I see is the auto-government buttons, but even then do I really want to spend the vast majority of the game building roads? How tedious! I feel like they tried to make combat and fighting less of a factor/main focus, but just failed miserably.This isn't even getting into the hardware aspects of the game, its a map painter in its most simplistic form, why does it tax my gpu more than Boulders Gate 3? That's nuts, no one really cares about seeing each mini avatar or the grass/trees that blow in the wind... not to mention the clamoring of people that needed the waves in the ocean to move.
I would give this game a thumb up if it wasnt called EU5. This is not a EU4 successor.. Imagine you make next Batman movie and make it a comedy - sure it also has Batman in it(character) but it isn't what you would expect, is it?
eu4 better
It does not feel anywhere close to a complete game. They stripped everything that made EU4 enjoyable and added endless layers of complexity that are not needed and do not work. Bring back mission trees. If I wanted to play an economy simulator I would play Victoria
Way too complicated. I want to like this game but eu4 to eu5 is just too different
I have 7800 hours in eu4 (aka "a sampler"), and I tried so damn hard to like this game. There are a lot of small improvements, all outweighed by the bugs and the lack of purpose. I tried playing Korea, and ended up getting autocalled into Korean rebel wars in other countries, breaking truces every year and making stability impossible. Played the ottomans, took the Balkans and Levant, got bored, wandered off. Played castile, formed Spain, colonized, got bored, wandered off. The game is meaningless.I will consider coming back if they add back in mission trees - at least that gave a sense of achievement and purpose. As it is, this is a boring downgrade. Paradox made it more complex and sophisticated, sure, but complexity does not equal fun and sophistication does not equal entertainment.
The game is very hard. You have to automate many things. That both reduces the enjoyment, and when you automate them, the AI plays poorly. EU4 was more enjoyable. I couldn’t really get the same level of enjoyment from this one. It makes more sense to go back to EU4.
>the game is very hard????
he's saying the game is very hard because, with the ai turned on, there is a great chance of him not winning

i've been wondering about EU5does trade actually flow? does anyone know?is it just between different market nodes?or if you have a empire spanning a large area, will the raw resources from your colonies flow between nodes to your heartlands? i can never get a clear answer if one at alldoes it work on a proper principle of supply and demand over long ranges?

27got an event of a general asking for a war with a random armenian province and since I was low on stab I accepted, but I forgot I had mil access with them, so it lowered my stab to 0, which triggered the collapse events (starts when you have less than 25 stab and ends when you get 30 stab)it started with a revolt from some other general that took the entirety of Sakia region (this kilich tag), and while I defeated it very easily, it costed more than 100 war score to take back all of it and got me like 100 agressive expansion (so no stab)Then I got 200 slave revolts in persia since my genius ass decided to make macedonians slavesWas forced to release my indian lands and Uzboia as client kingdoms via events to get stab and the collapse stoppedRhamana is my client kingdom also, so its fine
also rome

funny, because even though you stopped cropping that doesn't help at all because in imperator paradox came to the genius conclusion that they should stop displaying the name of the country in the top ui bar like they did in all their previous titles. now the only thing we can go for is the imaginary flag of the six thousand fictional countriesat least your flag is easy: it's two horses with some chinese writing and the word "heavenly" is associated with qina
>>2349791>>2349791I set up this colony to ship beeswax to my capital but despite owning the production I still have to buy the goods firstit's still cheaper than importing from anywhere else but I don't know if that's because I have first preference or just because I boosted productionas far as I can tell the goods go into the local market where they're priced according to supply and demand, then the buyer with the highest trade advantage gets to buy first, then it gets shipped to whatever market using the buyer's trade maintenance fees, then it goes into the importer's market where the importer's buildings can buy themthere's also a trade barrier and tariff mechanic but I still have no idea how that works

now that i've played a bit more i have a better understanding of how trade worksi set up a colony on the american west coast hoping i could unload my stuff relatively closehaha WRONGthe market hub is in pueblo territory which means it's closer to texas than californiawhich means all my stuff unloaded on the coast has to be routed inland through the blank part of the map marked with dragons and fish women with tits before it gets to me (it won't because it runs out of range before it ever gets there)but there is a way around this: create a new market hub that you and only you control, then you can direct all your goods there directlysimple right?haha NOif you have someone with much higher market reputation they will break into your market steal all the goods and shit on the floorthis also happens if you have an overlord, they can pocket all your shipments before they leave the portboth of these things happened to me earlier

the whole of east germany including austria is genetically slavic
Austria is not in east Germany, nor was it in East Germany
it's literally called east doe

there are more Asians of the Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/etc. variety than of the Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc. variety so statistically speaking the former group is more Asian than the latter

The word "wrestlers" in Ancient Greek is "palaestis," which may be related to "Palaistinê" used by Herodotus. Palaistinê would then mean "Land of the wrestlers" or "Land of Israel."

guys i just had the most epic mega campaign idea of all time thanks to the "best culture for hyperborean campaign" post the other day.just spent like an hour savescumming to roll this business focus trade route event chain to see if its possible to befriend a germanic pagan ruler to convert to his religion, and it is.basically the idea is to start as the crimean goths and migrate back home to the baltic sea by navigating the rivers by converting to germanic paganism.and from there carve out a glorious hyperborean nordic gothic germanic reformed pagan EMPIRE UGHHH VGGGHHHHHH and then colonise north america with germanic pagan GOTHS VVVGGGGHHHHHHHstart date will be the viking age because thats the latest start date that has germanic pagans in crimea's vicinity.
because the minor nobility was still english and there was a general hostility towards france and her peopleit would be a completely different thing if there was a free travel of information and people between the two realms, as the french culture has a lot more tradition behind it. it'd be like the manchus conquering china
this gayreek is in a very chinese time in his life
thats very vghwish that rly happenedhowever i can tell that youre currently being besieged and raped by asiaticss so uhhhhhhhhhh cringe!!
asians suck at warfare so it's finethe gate is strong
adjusting my vanilla+ mod before starting the new campaign.making the nomad subjugation cb available indefinitely, not just once in a lifetime, as suggested by a fellow /gsg/ger.by the way why did paradogs arbitrarily nerf ai mongols like this? pic related is a line under can_use from the nomad subjugation cb.im removing this. i am unleashing the mongol ai.
oh nevermind just realised its not a restriction, it just means the ai wont bother using the subjugation cb if the target is smaller than 5 counts.removing the line anyway since it doesnt matter if the cb can be used indefinitely.

If we go by Herodotos statements, using the 769 map as it´s the earliest start date, Hyperborea is somewhere in north siberia. Used a large margin of error because they didn´t have precise perception of the geography of that region back then. Finno-Ugric vs Turkic? :(
Khanty because I bave never seen anyone do a khanty playthroughPick the northeasternmost tribe for max frontier comfy I can buy the finike people being hyperboreans post collapse or something, the steppe barbarians are just that
Imagine slowly consolidating central asia and then looking over at Europe´s big Umayyad blob arriving in Norway.
in ck2 or irl?
that mountain range isnt the urals, its the carpathians.the map is heavily distorted, for reference, tyras is the dniester river.the greeks never got as far as the ural mountains bro. if they did they would have mapped the volga leading into the caspian sea. but you see they only mapped rivers leading into the black sea.so from the distorted perspective of the carpathian mountains the hyperboreans are north of them, which is exactly where the goths came from.

wish the tranny youtuber would stop shilling his vids here
the hyperborean mega campaign begins.akshually i changed my mind, im starting with the alexiad start date, not viking age, because i set diplo range to default instead of further restricted so that i can reach the baltic sea in one go instead of having to blob in russia first.so i waited for the romans to be busy fighting somebody, now they are, and i declared war to break free.funnily enough the basileus himself was leading an army in crimea and i sniped him.
kino
eh its not happening, gotta peace out for now
>>2353217>>2353219>>2353225CK2 looks appealing desu. I already play CK3 but trying CK2 is tempting to me. Can you tell me how much harder it is than CK3? I am craving a more "old-school" paradox game. Also the DLC subscription is dirt cheap so i've been eyeing it a lot.
looks pretty good to me
akshually this start date sucks because i have to rely on the tiny germanic pagan shitters to remain independent. and when they dont, as in this case, then i cant establish a trade route and befriend them to convert to their religion.going back to the viking age after all
mmm or akshually ill try the alexiad one more time but this time ill do business focus immediately instead of breaking free from the byzzies first.
akshually im going to roll some physicians, maybe i can get a germanic pagan one. that would be easier than doing the trade route.>CK2 looks appealing desuyeah its superior to ck3 in every way
t.alexiad
ok just checked in the files, the religion of recruited physicians, if theyre pagan, depends where your capital is located.and crimea cant get germanic pagan physicians, only tengri.
best hoi4 mods?
get independence, flip Tengri, use that to raid Norse lands and take a concubine, and then flip Norse?
nah just sticking to my original plan which is business focus, trade route event chain, savescumming until it rolls a germanic pagan ruler, savescumming until i befriend him, and then convert to his religion.
this guy is the only germanic pagan in my diplo range. it will take a lot of savescumming.
wow lucky, third try
going on a pilgrimage to christian holy places to rack up the piety to secretly convert to germanic paganism, ah yes...
and just like that i convert. in 7 years, speedrun style
converting my heir before i die and then i gotta break free from byzzies and then the gvths can finally retvrn hvme to the bvltic sea... vgh...
I can't buy the fucking subscription on CK2 DLCs
just pirate the dlcs with creamapi, subscription is a rip-off anyway

is ck2 or ck3 harder?
this could be it. byzzies fighting rum and a revolt. and hungary my greatest ally will help me
gg no re
>>2353309ck2
>>2353309Depends on the start and your familiarity with the game. AI in CK3 is more willing to fuck you over, but you also can snowball quicker and much harder, if you know what you're doing .
ck2 is probably much harder to learn because, if there's anything the devs of ck3 have done well with the game, it's with developing the tooltips
nested tooltips is dumb as hell

26) He wore the costume of a Mongolian prince — a silk robe — in order to be visible to the troops from a great distance. He did not intend by this costume to win the sympathies of the Mongolian population. The Hutuktu conferred upon Ungern the title of Mongolian prince. Ungern was married to a Chinese woman, from whom he divorced recently.41) When asked about the reasons for his hatred of Jews, he replied that he considered them the principal culprits of the Russian Revolution.44) The execution in Novo-Dmitrievka of two families — nine people including children — was carried out with his knowledge and on his personal order. Likewise, by his personal order, a family was destroyed in Kaptsheranskaya, about which headquarters had no information.When asked about his motives for ordering the execution of the children, Ungern replied verbatim: "So as not to leave loose ends."

Hey gothic campaign is cool sorry i didn't post earlier I was banned but yeah cool campaign you should conquer a bit of crimea before migrating tho so you can leave it in the hands of a relative and have the old crimean realm funcufin and not collapse eimediately
bros. im restarting the campaign. this was not it.there was no struggle getting here, there was no struggle breaking free from the punished byzzies.im just not feeling it.allying the hre was too easy, i didnt even have to ship my army over to sweden to win the war.normally, with (further) restricted diplo range you cant even interact with the hre from crimea.so im going back to the original plan which is starting from the viking age with further restricted diplo range so ill have to conquer my way up the rivers before i can reach the baltic sea. also stronger byzzies will make it more interesting.also one mildly annoying thing is that dalassenos is a greek house originally. in the viking age start date the gothic ruling house doesnt have greek roots.
>you should conquer a bit of crimea before migrating tho so you can leave it in the hands of a relative and have the old crimean realm funcufin and not collapse eimediatelyyeah i might do that
Ok restart thayd cool that's cooler What I propose is that u also should turn up revolt strength by at least 1 notch, maybe even 2, for that authentic Christian chimpout experience that and as I said you'll probably want to release crimea if I'm correct in that assumption then surely, you release it in a state where it'll manage to stand on its own 2 feet right
A fun bonus would be to convert some Greeks to paganism before fucking offDefinitely a c tier priority but idk could be fun to see if your secret society that u leave behind will ever amount to anything or not if it doesn't then its liek it never happened so w/e
migrate your tribe to the true aryan homeland (india)
That's been done to death

one of my first ever ck2 games i played brandenburg, let myself be converted to slavic and got a game over because i didnt buy the dlc
Brandenburg is independent. Now it´s time to civilize the Slavic lands. Oh, and my son is betrothed to Byzantine royalty(daughter of Alexios Komnenos)
"Please buy this DLC to avoid a game over."Yeah, that does sound like something Paradox would do.

>1100Things are looking good. We are tributary maxxing and allied to the great Empire Of Rus. Drang Nach Osten is in full swing but the HRE is blobbing too. So now I invited a claiment to the very wide Kingdom of Bohemia...
Why is Kiev the capital of the Empire of Rus?
>>2353616ITS KYIV
imperator was funonwards to cucksaber kwabs 2
show the culture mapshow the religions map
34its a mess but according to the converter Roman, Greek and Punic should diverge between the different regions soon, as well as frankish becoming dutch and suebi becoming German
and religions
>>2353616because Kiev was the richest and most important city in the region until the Mongols destroyed it
knib is strong and powerful
39What IR religion became sunni? Or did Sunni spawn in the first 8 years in CK2?
60its regular ck2 provinces that didnt exist in imperator, the abassids are there lel
Königsberg is now Prussian(German)And Big Bohemia tries to take the imperial crown. I help them as they are orthodox, might create some unrest in the HRE if they win.
Āryan derives from Sanskrit Ārya which is a vṛddhi of Arya and is valid only for Indian Hindus, Iranic speakers used "Ariya" or "Airiia." Aryan is certainly not a valid name for any Europeans as you seem to imply (since copulating with dogs is associated with European women, and European Nazis stole that old Indian endonym).
Aryan is associated with Indians. That alone should be enough to discard it.
>>2353742Aryan doesn't mean "white" you illiterate nigger. Indians, blacks, meds, some asians like the japs and many others can be Aryan.

>its regular ck2 provinces that didnt exist in imperator, the abassids are there lelwhat converter did you use? maybe there's a better one.ive only ever converted ck2 and eu4 but with those converters this doesn't happen
78from what i've seen in the files: central asia: Bactrian (i renamed it to dayuan to fit my imperator larp); persia: Seleucian; Egypt: Ptolemaic; Arabia: Tylosi; Nubia/Ethiopia: Leucaethiopian; Germania: Pulian; Poland: Histrian; France and Britain: Massalian; Iberia: Empurian; the rest of north africa: Cyrenaican and India: Indo-greek
81I'm using the latest version but its not like this affects the campaign that much, the empire is dismantled day one and the counties get gobbled up by the converted realms pretty quickly
Time to invade the western protector-ACK

here we go. gothic hyperborea mega campaign 2.0. better than ever.going for the same thing as last time. establishing a trade route with a germanic pagan, befriend him, convert to his religion.doing it with my heir doe because this guy is already 63 and stacking piety to convert takes a while.so, first angle im looking at is allying bulgaria and maybe attacking the romans immediately to break free because they start at war with the muslims over sicily.
gun
>>2354023One start has a Gothic guy with Pyrrogenetos dynastic name, which I thought was pretty cool, but I was plagued by low fertility in that game. I was trying to get a foothold in the Italy, but I was too weak to invade and marriage game was unsuccesful
alliance secured.i declared independence beforehand because byzzies got a big revolt, so im already at 41% ticking war score, lets see if this works out.
What's your favourite dynasty in CK?For me it will always be the house of Lachanodrakon, from Thracesia in >769
osmanoglu
succession. so next step converting to germanic paganism asap and making my way to the baltic sea.khazaria looming over me is worrisome.
I like Cerneu
theres the trade route.next, stacking piety to convert. that will take a while. i hope i survive until then.need my wife to pop out some children for alliances.
38I like so many but my favourite is probably one that I never played as myself. The Armenian and Georgian Bagrationi dynasty. I find myself helping helping them in every game where I am near them.

yeah i tried a quick run>ruler dies in battle>die to cancer>die in battle>die in battle x2 (same war)so now i'm 3, need to wait forever to get the piety so i can reform and start my migration. nope
oops i forgot im poor and i dont have any ships, im gonna grab some from byzzies
akshually i changed my mind im grabbing ships from georgia instead
Am I cucked out of this focus if I already control the entirety of Europe?
you dont control all of europe thats the problem. show a map
Iceland and Jan Mayen I guess. Thanks.
but they're not majors are they? what about gibraltar? azores?
guys i savescummed.i couldnt attack the pagan shitters along the rivers and i thought it was because i didnt have ships.turns out its because i can only attack them with the subjugation cb which you have access to when your succession law is elective gavelkind, you dont get conquest cbs on river-connected provinces.so im delaying my religious conversion for a little while until i can pass this law.

I think i'm on a manic episode. I got a 1 month subscription on CK2 and HoI4 and a 3 month subscription on EUIV, i also have other paradox games like CK3, EUV, Vic3 and Stellaris but i will be focusing on CK2, HoI4 and EUIV mostly for a few months. I sleep like 3-4 hours a day and play the rest of the waking hours these games. Paradox games should be illegal, they're like digital crack.
you're not a real paradox fan if you didn't preorder every deluxe edition gsg
what should also be illegal is your access to credit cards/digital currency, as you're incapable of not being a full-blown paycuck
>>2354388Yeah cause 30€ is a crazy amount of money
paycucks are prime reason for why paradox games are such shit today
i'd rather spend those €30 gifting alcohol to hobos than give a cent to johan

why are you playing a reddit mod? and show kulturmappe
why is polen independent?
russia is trying to "liberate" us. we get cores on the eastern black sea cossack lands. no core on brest, maybe we need to blob all of belarussimilarly with poland, we get a core on chelm and the ukrainian cultures provinces here but that makes the borders look shit17poland starts off as a vassal, russia tries to annex them at the start of the game but i protected them
man, reading these campaigns, just goes to show you how shallow grand strategies really are
>poland starts off as a vassaldoes the redditmod start off in 1830?
it does
imagine if you were playing krimmod instead and could go full irredentist as the ukraine
ok then which reddit mod is that? hfm? i might wanna play as poland since you can do it without having to cheat like you did
using mod by definition is already cheating
ok but what mod is that?

how do we feel about these borders? we have a core on that polish state marked in ukrainiani think it's ugly for now but could end nicely if we take that + belarus and just move poland westor i could go back and not take this / give it to poland

thats just retarded, you're turning into second russian empire with stupid eating of poland
give it all back to polen but puppet them

what in the actual fuck
?
do you ever stop to consider that Dutch and its closest relatives (e.g. Brabantian) are the best approximations today of how Charlemagne, Pepin the Short, Karl the Hammer, and Clovis would have sounded?
langue hollandaise sounds perfectly fine to mei'm convinced all the claims of it sounding funny are just anglos and germans falling for the uncanny valley effect
if it's just uncanny valley wouldn't it also apply to the regional languages of Germany (not Hochdeutsch dialects) and other relatives in there?but you can listen to someone speaking Frisian or Lower Saxon and it sounds like a legitimate language. Bavarian sounds stupid but that's not a problem of Bavarian as a language, it's a problem of the Bavarians as a people
that's the whole point of uncanny valley — the object in question needs to be within that small range to be considered uncanny, if it was slightly more familiar or slightly more foreign it wouldn't trigger the same responsedo you consider the czech language "funny sounding" or not a legitimate language? because those pesky pollacks do, probably because again it sits in that uncanny valley, but you'll never hear them say the same thing about slovak, probably because it's closer to polish and doesn't trigger the same psychological response
ironic given that Slovak itself is not a legitimate language. it's just Hungarians pretending to be Czech
slovaks do not look hungarian at allt. lvl 88 racist

lol i'm still in the russian spherenice meme mod
hey they can't attack you now :)
the game is good but the mod is shiitefor instance there's a decision that turns you into a republic as poland, but it just changes your government without changing your reforms, so you become an el-presidente dictatorship
theres only presidental dictatorship and not the military one? how are they going to accurately model sudacas then
when el general becomes the dictator he automatically becomes el presidente
polish are kind of like sudacaswhites racemixed with whites
holy fuck what a shit moda 1832 event is using verbatim the quote from communist manifesto that "a spectre is haunting europe — the spectre of communism" just with evropa switched for germany and communism for liberalism...on top of that the blacked 0% civilisation gorilla niggerias are not primitive, but instead non-western

yes, it is well known that johan is a prussia pro, and this mod adds even more germansthis mod in general is polophibic
don't see a problem with that one really, even in 1897 kholm had russian majority (33.4% little rus and 6.3% great rus vs 34.5% pole)
but we're talking about chełm, not kholm

the hfm guy made all germoids in russland eastern german so they could be accepted without accepting all of germland
der eastern germans... my ancestor :)
but why does russia need to accept the volga germans?
it's like that stupid justification for the existence of the ukrainian culture — so that an indep ukraine won't be able to blob all over russiabut why not? after all why contain it?
why even bother with that if alex 2 comes along and takes all their privilegesnot like they were special kind of germans that got partially russified, they were all groups of different germans coming in from different places, living in isolated groupsthese mememodders i swear
if you keep them german like krimmod did then they will reemigrate to germany once that forms and russia stops being so attractivethey won't do that in meme mods because there's no east german homeland (ddr)
>why does russia need to accept the volga germansbecause they did irl
ukrainian culture has one thing going for and it's being russifiedbut none of the mods make russia unaccept ukrainian with something like ems ukaz or maybe latter tech and apply assimilation modifieri wanted to mod the krimmod for that but i'm lazy
>they will reemigrate to germany once that forms and russia stops being so attractivethis didnt happen irl doe so krimmod (more commonly known as crimememod) is the real mememod
prussia had polish people living in it, they even had posen autonomyprussia should accept polish
it did doe, the quints confirm
russia literally and figuratively begged the germans to come and settle the volga with their superior tech and understanding of cultivating the land (and because russians wouldnt do it because it wasnt lucrative because of serfdom) PLUS all the baltic germans and baltic german nobles that were part of the russian aristocracy so if that isnt accepting a culture i dont know what is.completely different from poles in prussia
prussia also wanted to have poles within her borders really badly. why else would they take polish lands?and there was polish aristocracy in place when they took the land that kept going on until the land returned to poland. the germans didn't strip the polish nobility of their lands
why does nbro talk badly about his own mod all the time
he's german, they've been brainwashed to hate their own legacy
crazy how much russia had to beg (literally and figuratively)

thats just the teuton achievement
i don't think you can do that, it'll just show up as prussian eastern europe

>>2355585>>2355590these dumbasses don't get it>>2355587this guy gets it
no the teuton horde cant form prubia, they have to go down the cuck missions
the teuton horde mission tree is retardedthey get better cavalry bonuses than poland. eu4 has jumped the shark
mission trees are retarded in general
there's nothing wrong with branching mission trees per se (i swear to g-d i'll strangle the retarded nigger that came up with misspelling it as "per say". it doesn't even even sound the same how do you confuse "se" and "say"???), you just need to exercise temperance. you can't just give everyone huge, unique bonuses for doing minor things. why would a serbian reform of the army be unique and different from a greek reform of the army and why should they stack have you completed both of their mission trees?if you exercise restrains mission trees provide a clear way of navigating the historical events present in the game. compare that to earlier paradox titles where you could often miss some historical event simply because you didn't fit some arbitrary criterium at the time
oh my gee-hyphen-dee you can't say that, that's racist
greek yuan empire campaigner, whats the lore behind your greek chinkaboos? are they horse lovers or something?didnt pay attention during the imperator rome part
there is no lore, it's all aesthetics
what the fuck is that supposed to mean
you ever watched that japanese cartoon "evangellion"? yeah me neither, but it's like that: all style no substance. don't try to find deeper meaning behind it because there is none, just things that look cool
uhm evangelion has meaning doe its an allegory of kabbalah, the tree of life, revolting against g-d
no, it uses surface aesthetics of the aforementioned, without any deeper meaning or reference other than "look at this thing"
no it doesnt. the entire story is about this elite cult, "seele" if i remember correctly, trying to combine the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (divine intellect - the fruit that adam and eve already ate from and humanity possesses) and the fruit of the tree of life (divine creational power - the fruit that the in-universe angels possess).and its been a while since i watched it but if i remember correctly in the end shinji does combine these two in his mecha and becomes a god, or maybe his mecha becomes a god, and then the world ends and its just him and asuka and it loops back to genesis basically.
it does, the creator himself said so, which is why he contradicts himself with every re-release (on purpose, because he hates his fan (he also said this))that's the whole point of this crap, you just vaguely allude some sort of a deeper meaning without elaborating and the watcher with fill in the blanks with his own imagination, with things that are the coolest to him.or, in these cursed times it's more like cohorts of manchildren will fill in the blanks via their lore youtube videos
>the creator himself said sono this is a common misconception. people keep saying that.the creator didnt say it, it was some random guy on the team who said it.and it doesnt matter what this guy says when the story is clearly an allegory and the symbols arent random.
no, i talked to anno himself via astral projection, except i got a terrible headache afterwards — he must have been using that forced cia technique instead of communing with his ancestors, and no wonder since he's a jomon-yayoi mutt
>nbro seeing cows>there must be a deeper meaning to all this! they're consciously using the motif of ouroborous and the spenglerian cycle of death and rebirth
it's okay to watch evangelion when you're 13, it's okay to look at all the theories and explainationsbut i can't phantom hearing that evangelion has some deep lore from a grown-upi've glimpsed some fragments from it semi-recently, and how it throws 'adam' 'eve' and whatever with it being some anime nonsense is so unbearable

>>2355430retarded: chelm county was 9% ukrop; 20% of the population overall (mostly poles) were orthodox so it doesn't work even if you try to stretch it along religious lines.also, the entirety of lwow voivodeship was majority polish until post-war, even in the majority of rural areas as well as overall even if you exclude lwow itself. this is also true for tarnopol, nowogrodek and wilno voivodeships. in this screenshot, bialystok, pruzhany and augustow should all be majority polish, grodno was plurality polish but barely and probably not back then so that's more-or-less fine. lida should also be majority polish. przemysl and lemberg should both be majority polish.that lithuanian province at the top of your screenshot, which i'm fairly sure is vilnius, should also be majority polish.
