why would an irredentist pan-turanist map have the portrait of a non-turk jew (mustafa kemal) on it?
Fun fact: during the time 4chan was down due to maintenance, it had more user active than Europa Universalis V.
say that once again, this time in english
why is turkiye bordered off from arabia but arabia inst given any larp name?it'd be one thing if for some reason this map was supposed to include the arab peninsula as part of turkey i mean it wouldn't even be the dumbest part of the map but the name is clearly more at the top and there is what looks like a borderline going through bagdad so uhhh whats going on? the name placement doesnt make sense unless you assume turkiye doesnt include arabiaand while we're at it, terrible modern larp map, 1972 is the supposed memedate but it includes modern borders for south sudan which didn't yet exist. some of the republics don't geven get capitals. most horrid sin of all: missed opportunity on making Turku the capital of finland
look closer — there is no border, that's tigris and euphrates
>poland is bigwhat is it with turks and polophilism? did 1683 really make them respect poles so much?
poland has always been big
it's 1973 and poland was already that big
türkiye... from mountains of bosnia to arabia... united and indivisible...
1972 yet czechoslovakia got circumcised and austria just stopped existing, yet poland is the only bordering country that didn't get blobbed into
poland is not türk enough, thats about it
but poland is scythian therefore turk
sorry, theyre not pureblooded enough
ok but that doesn't explain the lack of irredentist claims in their landsonly mutual respect does
imagine a german unification but ddr is the one absorbing the brd
ddrmind
ddrjake
did you know stalin proposed german unification under the condition that united germany be neutral and the president of the brd vetoed it ?
i was so surprised when i learned that fat fuck was named after dance dance revolution and not deutsche demokratische republik
i did know thatthat's also the ethnogenesis of austria
i was surprised to learn that hes fat considering he is named after dance dance revolutionanyway why are we calling him "fat fuck" now i thought the nearrative was that johan is le bad again and ddrjake was right all along and missions trees were what makes eu4 better than eu5?
its more liek usa didn't want it, they wanted to integrate germany into the west at the cost of splitting it upnot that western germany didn't support that initiative either
i call him a fat fuck because he's a fat fuck with the most dysgenic disgusting face you've ever seeni don't care about perceived internal paradox infighting they haven't made a good game since liq2
eu4 not being broken at its core and having intended design makes it better than eu5eu4 pre mission trees and post is the same game, even better one i would argue
the same game as what?
"fat fuck" has the same meaning as "bro"
the real split in eu4 design philosophy is not pre-mission trees and post-mission trees — it's base tax vs. developmentin the base tax days eu4 was a fun little arcade game about blobbingin the development days it's a game centered purely around the optimisation of mana gain and expenditure. mana is the lifeblood of your nation because it can be used directly to improve your country in the most efficient way, especially after autonomy and max states (later governing capacity) were added
yeah eu4 in what it became is not funthis "select inno espionage else you're playing it wrong" maybe be fine for excel autists like arumba but not for me
yes, we know that inno-offensive-espionage is the way to go, but people swear by meme idea combinations like economic-quantity, so surely they can be viable as well
naval is objectively the most broken idea group in the game
i just go with idea groups suitable to my larp
ugh the aristocratic into luddite into isolationist idea build....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=torL-Q6htQo&t=3067s
you posted it already
this time it's timestamped to a funny blurb about poland that's sure to rile the two polish gsgeers up
wat sey?? poland are innocent
as a wise man once put it together, there is no stalinism, only leninism
you want to be mad about the soviets? well POLAMD existed!!! checkmate
kotkin is a kike and zizek is a kike lover, so of course they hate poland
Fuck good idea picks.What's the worst lineup of idea picks possible?
you take naval ideas first and then prioritize them over military tech
that's only 1/8
now that's a meme i haven't seen in a long timeback in my day i made the version that flipped the switch back to off

naval is kino solely for the free naval barrage bonus as the finisher, and it has some decent policies as well. actual bottom tier ideas imo are>inno (because you can get 100 inno after like 100 years even without it in most nations except the americas and parts of africa)>divine (garbage policies, weak ideas, only good for larp as a theocracy>quantity (pointless after the nerf and powercreep, manpower is no object after the first 50-100 years, has some decent policies thoughbeit) >eco (nerfed to shit, slightly useful for goldmaxxing but one of the eco ideas is bugged and has been for like 5 years at this point : the inflation reduction on loan repayment does literally nothing except cost you 400 mana)>maritime (kind of cool as a filler group i guess)everything else is situationally useful or fun
>>2357806That chin is familiar
honorable mention to exploration ideas which have become totally obsolete through the free explorers/conquistadors from the burghers privilege once you have a colonist. being able to fabricate claims in any colonial regions is kind of nice though and admittedly you can use it to get to the americas a little faster than through expansion
I was thinking, do you think Nons when they play CK3 start as adventurers in their own lands and go and make a Kingdom in Europe like European/White players do with Vikings?
>devs listened to the autistic midwits in the forums that think clicking 100 more buttons to do the same thing in eu4 is depth>now people have to pause and study the price spread of wood for 30 minutes just for a few efficient game ticks>everyone that actually enjoys playing games went back to eu4i hope they learned their lesson
when you think about it, adenauer created the ddr
why is paradox so allergic to just taking vic2 and improving upon it?vic2 is the perfect marriage, even if it's highly imperfect. it has something for everyone — it delivers enough of a simulationistic experience to satisfy the autists yet the blobbers can just ignore all of that and create an epic germania (60% slavic) if they'd like
>>everyone that actually enjoys playing games went back to eu4exactly as i anticipated. first the cattle loved the novelty (i could immediately tell its shit with my superior intellectual capabilities) it got very positive reviews on steam, then the cattle realised its kinda boring and a premium priced beta test and reviews dropped to mixed, and now they all go back to euiiii, exactly as i said it would happen when the game came out
yea vic2 is so good bro spamming liquor factories and making gay ass poetry to become the #1 great power in the world while doing nothing for half the game is just so much fun
this but unironically
what is it with people that want to force becoming the №1 gp or even becoming a gp at all?some of my most fun playthroughs were as small countries where i stayed an sp all game
slave mentality
how is it slave mentality? i'm independent, my people are doing well, no one is contesting my cores and i have conquered all the land i could reasonably hold without alienating my nationjust because i'm not a blobber i'm a slave?
guys im restarting the gothic gyperborea campaign AGAIN.just because it was kinda the first time playing with lots of tribal vassals and i didnt know how to micromanage them properly and now i do and thats annoying, so
there are several annoying retarded decisions for progressing as minor nations which require being a gp, mainly.
>I don't want to be be great or put populations under my rule or spread my enlightenment, I'm fine eating the scraps of the great powersslave mentality. Alexander would've barely been a footnote if he stopped at the bosporus
>there are several annoying retarded decisions for progressing as minor nations which require being a gp, mainly.only if you play bad modsreminds me of that hyatch pee emm decision where you need to be a gp for megali ideaalso his obstinate decision to not allow population exchanges between ellada and turgay unless you stay within the modern greek borders
empires fall, my dear blobber, unitary nations that focus on inward perfection persevere through the agesi owe the latter to my people, as a leader
not being a gp locks you out of colonising, the afforementioned decisions for most countries in most if not all mods, and most importantly the sphere minigame, which is like half the game if you're not dying to rebels
people who say "playing tall" is fun are just lying, idk why but they are
what the fuck meme mod have you played that locks you out of colonizing if you're not a gp? even hpm doesn't do that and its creator hates fun and sphere minigame is annoying as fuck and only serves to create a captive market. if you're an industrialized sp in the sphere of a large gp (other than england) you reap the same benefits — you can use the raw resources of your gp to create industrial goods for a great profit. that is if you choose to get sphered instead of staying unsphered and staying flexible, which also has great benefits
small unitary nations only exist to be gobbled up by empiresempires might fall, but their legacies are eternalthe macedonian empire lasted like a decade but it was arguably one of the most influential empires in history
"playing tall" just means not blobbing like a retard, not staying as ulm all game and getting to 6 million development on speed 5
define "blobbing"
going outside your cultural group
indiscriminately conquering land for the sake of conquest with no regard for cost-benefit analysis or aesthetics, especially if it creates exclaves
hmmm so when hungary owning slovakia is blobbing then?
79counterpoint: holland, schweiz and the likeno, the fact that they're self-destructing via multiculturalism is not a valid counterpoint to my counterpoint they're doing that on their own and they're free to do so if they wish -____-
lmaoing @ this retard for being exposed for using gpt to make his post once, he now goes an extra mile spamming the ai dash in order to convince the 500 iq gsg users that he in fact has never used an ai before
hungary owning slovakia is not blobbing because it creates natural, defensive borders that are aesthetic to bootalso slovakia is rich in natural resources and easy to controlhungary owning galicia-lodomeria would be blobbing because they're separated by mountains from that land (poor access and communication) and they'd be blobbing into their natural ally
86psychoanalysis fail, i've used the em dash for longer than you've been on this site, just ask the biggers, they'll confirmand i don't use aislop because i hate the antichrist
>hungary owning galicia-lodomeria would be blobbingbut Austria-Hungary owning Kraków is fine?
who said that it's fine?habsburg owning more than a single outhouse is not fine
switzerland is an outlier because the extremely mountainous terrain just isn't worth fighting in for the 2 or 3 villagesnetherlands has been invaded like a dozen times within a century and each time needs to be saved by some ally, most people just know the country as a bump in the road
which century?
the century where they were invaded a dozen times
which century was that? before or after charlemagne?
>and each time needs to be saved by some ally...he says while switzerland's independence has been guaranteed by 3 surrounding gp's + the pope for hundreds of years
why is /gsg/ so lively all of a sudden?
spring
development and literacy are shit mechanics. mercentalism was where its at and as for technological advancements, you can only thanks the church institutions for that. whys no gsg ever get this shit rightrural area = resourceful, high manpower, indefensible, no commerce beyond sustenanceurban area = where value is created, where finite coins are scalped, where crafts are perfected, where free time is abundant, where ideas are sharedthoughts?
austria hungary is an aesthetic blob
incomprehensible post
urban area is where the jews arejews = prosperity
are you sure?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPEyTl_gRWs
literacy is a good mechanic, but it went too far in liq2, where it governs research and economy and it separates shitholes from developed evropean countriesliteracy should have literally one effect — the ability to implement technology on a wide scale, not just in tiny centralized amounts in cities. just like in carist russia: they had the brainpower, they had the money, but they didn't have the will and drive for change of traditional economy in the countryside. so you had certain pockets of highly efficient industry and high tech driven by prestige and money but you had peasants miring in the dirt just like in the good old days just 50 miles further
I never understood why literacy is supposedly so hard to spread throughout a populationlike I don't think the average serf was so retarded that they can't understand that an A makes an A soundit takes a kid not even a year to learn and that's with a non-developed brain
if you ever try to look up how a medieval school worked, youd be shockedchurch schools were so ass they had you memorise psalms in latin first and THEN associate sounds with letterslike year 1 was to just robotically memorise sounds you dont know what they meanso it was hard because that's the kind of system they were working withand then there's the obvious fact that the church was actively fighting against mass literacy for most of its history, remember how much trouble the germans got themselves into for printing books people could read?
except an a doesnt make an a soundan a can make aa, ey or uh
it's all about the mentalityi once tried to teach a couple of hardcore normalfags basic algebra because they reached out to me and it was really difficult to have them not give upand they were manly men that were not quitters in any other realm of their lives. it was a really funny and eye opening experience
48we're not talking about medieval schools doe, we're talking about the liquorian periodi wanted to mention that reading before renaissance meant learning latin but decided not to do that because i mentioned russia in the previous post with the intent of early 20th century russia49that's only english doethe written english language is essentially hieroglyphics comprised of latin letters. you're never sure how a word's pronounced until you've first heard it spoken
>we're talking about the liquorian periodyeah so when they were first introducing what resembles modern schools then?it was hard because they didnt have those everywhere and more importantly literacy isn't necessary in your day to day, i would argue that for the average peasant it was less useful than changing your own oil is nowadays and look how many people dont know how to do that
What language would be best to give writing to a primitive tribe that doesn't have writing?For now, is it a phonetic language that can express their language as it is?
>For now, is it a phonetic language that can express their language as it is?as opposed to what, a tribe that communicates in signs?
97 years into a Dacia campaign, allied to Parthia and Alania. how am i doing so far?
you finished the run
was it though?first let us assume the peasant wanted to stop being a peasant because say he was the 4th son of a farmer and there just wasn't enough land to split for him. if he wanted to become a locksmith or a machinist literacy enables him to have an almanac with all the important material properties, tools needed, standardized dimensions for things like fasteners. memorizing that is a lot of work and was more fitting for a traditional guild education which was quite long timewisesecond even if he stayed as a peasant literacy helps in similar ways for dealing with unusual problems like insects or even accounting matters like planning the harvest for the next year (maintaining enough seed stock vs selling vs keeping for yourself to eat)honestly all this reminds me of something i hadn't mentioned in previous post but i think is very important which is that productivity is not only improved by technology, id est machines, automation, engines (non-human power), but also by the organization of work. you know, limiting waste, reducing unnecessary work, delegating, etc. even something as simple as setting up a more thought-out layout for your workshop adds up over time in manhours saved
I remember hearing that the georgian language is very consistent, every word is pronounce exactly how it looks and there aren't any letter combinations. The alphabet does have a lot of letters though
hey you guys are supposed to know history, what are these statues scattered around Bill Adama's office? the left one i'm assuming to be hindu

goold?
>i don't like youi dont think about you at all
but you thought about us enough to come here and ask that questiondo you do everything in life without thinking?
i don't think about THOU at all
something I notice is that nobody ever calls real-life borders blobby or gross. If someone's first exposure to the roman or mongol empire's borders were a GSG then they would think it was a gross ugly blob, yet because they were historical imperial borders, everyone thinks they look super good. "blobbing" is just an entirely meaningless and arbitrary definition
if stargate came out today people would accuse them of catering to china and wokeness
you've just written two posts directly addressed to me without thinking a single thought?
but many people here consider those borders as blobbyat least the mongolians have the benefit of claiming to unite a culture group if you consider turkics to be similar to mongols
>something I notice is that nobody ever calls real-life borders blobby or gross.just this thread someone said Austria-Hungary was blobbing when they conquered Krakow but that's only after i pointed out that it's inconsistent with their earlier statements
how were my statements inconsistent? you just presupposed something i don't agree with as my argument the proceeded to btfo it then gloat about btfoing my argument which i never made
>The Empress Catherine and I are simple robbers. I just would like to know how the empress (Maria Theresa) calmed down her father confessor? She cried, when she took; the more she cried, the more she took!?
here we go bros. this is the third attempt at gothic gyperborea mega campaign.third time is the charm right?so business as usual (pun intended) went for business focus to get a trade route and befriend a germanic pagan, converted to germanic paganism, now i allied rurik and hes gonna conquer me a province in the baltic sea.from there i will use the subjugation cb on gotland and then i will break free from the byzzies with rurik's help.pretty clean procedure, i can go for gotland directly. lithuania is just long enough to be in my diplo range for me to conquer a coastal province in the baltic from the get go, dont need to jump along the rivers.

business idea: time this stay catholic
I remember testing out shit with the ck3 to eu4 converter and found out that if you have greek culture in scandinavian provinces it becomes "hyperborean" when converted to eu4had a good chuckle when I noticed it

>:)trying to larp too hard as a german, try to use "^^" next time
>business idea: time this stay catholicwhy? its a hyperborea larp, why christian instead of germanic?also goths start orthodox, not catholic.>if you have greek culture in scandinavian provinces it becomes "hyperborean" when converted to eu4holy kino. i wonder if its the same in ck2->euiiii>fake jews and fake goths... locked in a thousand year struggle throughout a megacampaign... like persia and rum...i can imagine bro.... ugh so trve>whats the deal with gothia goth run why did the last one fail?i didnt know how to properly manage a feudal realm full of tribal vassals and i leaned too much into satanism with my character and i made a bunch of dumb marriages and basically it all got too annoying and not "clean" and i deleted the save.
>why christian instead of germanic?because that's what every single aryan converted to, therefore it must be superiorbut really it's because you start off as a christian
but rulers in the early middle ages only converted to christianity for power and legitimacy. and then it was like a domino effect where nordics just had to convert whether they wanted to or not
that's just a conjecture, just like those midwits that say soviet leaders were just cynics and opportunists, when they were convinced of the marxist cause, even in internal memos
>time this stay
what the fuck do you mean nativeblobs still haven't been fixed in eu4why the fuck do I see a confederacy-shaped federation blob in north america before one fucking colonial nation has even formed there
what's the problem, 25? a simple misspeaking makes you think a man doesn't know english?
anyway, thats the whole gimmick - as germanic pagan you can navigate rivers and you have conquest and subjugation cbs which makes it possible to go from the black sea to the baltic sea.so i cant "stay" christian. and also im not going to revert back to christianity because a reformed germanic pagan hyperborea is much more thematic and also it makes conflict with christian europeans more exciting
it's half past 2 in germany. does this not warrant going to sleep?

Ee got 2 screenshot of the goth campaign and the. Poster vanishes AGAIN ahhhhhh why is this campaign so elusive
not gonna lie I've been playing openfront to get my map game fix and I've been hooked on it like crack for at least a week
youtube.com/watch?v=aCnvRt7FAw8
openfront seems incredibly abstract and basic
still more of a gsg than eu4

vgh... what was...
ugh bros look what rurik did... the absolute madlad
why are you in two separate wars against both germans AND greeks bro mak sure he's well protected down there dont want to give him trouble yo
>CK2 to EU4 converter gives Iconoclasm the same mechanics as Orthodoxy>Iconoclasts can commission icons
>against both germans AND greeksone of my allies dragged me into the war with the germans. and i tried to break free from byzzies while rurik was doing his prepared invasion, didnt work out doe and had to white peace, now im trying again with evolved rurik.should be ezpz
punished byzzies
i thought rurik was gigabased but then i saw the fact that the man has christcuck vassals making him cringe after allwatch his bitch of a child convert
do ehsyd yhr frslf eyhj hyprtnotssso whats the deal wth hyperborea? i mean rly whats the deal supposed ot be i get that's it north of borea which is where the wind boris or whatever his name is comes from but uh you know uh what? get drunk what tomorrow report in private you can talk me into it yeah yeah hangover dger dancing strogonov hehe anyway i dont get colonial one i dont get it i look at starts and i stare at the sky smoking ciggies ever see a little light before dawn of the light got a woman byt a stream gonna show her all my dreams friend of mine used to sing that one all the time his name was juan telling you this so you know that this campaign has potential for a great writeup and am dully folowing it, keep them coming, whats the next step, hopping right away or establishing a better base in crimea?
>whats the next step, hopping right away or establishing a better base in crimea?subjugating svibjod to have a proper base of operations in scandinavia before rurik dies and his heir refuses to remain my ally.as for crimea, i might do something there if i see an angle. ultimately i will abandon cherson at some point but yeah, would be cool to leave a self-sufficient gothic realm there.
gg no re
VGH
subjegating dark blue sweden seems like a waste when light blue sweden seems like a much better target red sweden is also a factorpersonally i would just quickly hop over and make estonians my bitches for the time being
>hyperborea>look inside>it's just another scandi blob
>light blue sweden seems like a much better targethow so? with dark blue sweden i already took control of 2 germanic holy sites. only need one more and some piety to reform.>a wastewith the "become king" ambition you can subjugate indefinitely within the kingdom of your primary title.>>hyperborea>>look inside>>it's just another scandi blobwhat else would it be? anyway, i have some cool vague ideas up my sleeve for how this mega campaign could unfold. im probably not sticking to scandinavia for the entirety of it.
hyperborea is in russia though
Reminder: It is always optimal to declare a subjugation war against land not in your capital's de jure kingdom and THEN pick the ambition to become king
no its not. hyperborea on the herodotus map is north of the carpathian mountains which is where the goths came from when they migrated from scandinavia
>declare a subjugation war against land not in your capital's de jure kingdom and THEN pick the ambition to become kingthats what i did to conquer gotland initially, its still the same character
whats optimal is declaring subjugation wars in the kingdom like that as a count so you get all the land for yourself
reminder: powergaming is gay as fuck
REMINDER: its all fun and games until you have to deal with the catholic menacealso i noticed hungary is orthodox and bulgaria is tengri (not jewish?) whats fappening

how come ai is so good in so many things but not so good at the one thing free ai is pushed ont o the oshyauusjjjjaaa you know what i mean
does anyone even play anbennar anymore?
nobody plays eu4 at all anymoreand their vic3 mod flopped bigly
Catholicism was by far the worst thing to happen to the White race
i wanted to say hitler but ur right cuz they supported him probably would never get in power if it wasn't for them, i mean in the immediate sense but also rome wouldn't have collapsed like it did
Rome fell specifically because of Catholicism
but rome was orthodox not catholic
Who sacked Constantinople
I did
Well that was very rude of you
i failed math
no, math failed you
>>2357810>another retard who doesn't understand that innovativeness gain bonus is the least important part of inno ideas>he also doesn't understand that power now is much more important than power later, especially since most eu4 games end after 100 years; that gaining full innovativeness 50 years into the game while you still have the golden era active is hugely powerful as it gives you -20% all power costs which lets you punch above your weight class in the early game before you're the biggest baddest blob on the mappardon my replyfaggotry but i just had to do it when faced with such enormous ignorance
24What if the Germanic Pagans won? Would Europe be more based? Would the colonies be ruled with an iron fist as opposed to our timeline? Let´s find out
how do you propose ruling colonies with an iron fist without an intercontinental telegraph?
gaygans (lmao) winning means Rome dies for good in 476 which is cringe by default
These guys figured it out without such technology. (His Great-Great-Grandfather was still Germanic)
he's literally independent from denmark doe
>subjugated the Danes>Franks attackThis will get ugly71With iron fist I meant achieving the same in America as the Saxons have achieved in England. Total domination. Leaving no doubts about who rules the land. Americans never really had this as they basically invented the multiculturalism meme in the 19th century.
but no one had any doubts who rules the land in estados unidos, the freemasons ruletotal domination
Does eu5 have the same problem as eu4 with tech where the entire world has the same tech level by the 17th century?
not really noKorea and Japan catch up on tech in like 20% of games or at least did on the patch that I played hut Africa was always either colonised or a backwater
>africa at the end of eu4>60% area colonized>africa at the beginning of vic2>4 trading ports owned by the uk, france and hollandthis always irked me
They actually added malaria to eu5 to address this though the results are... mixed
isn't that racist to imply an inherent gameplay bonus for certain ethnicities?
got your nose
no, you're wrong, my nose is still here

the results are just like my wife's son... mixed
https://www.reddit.com/r/BSG/comments/1rpcptg/blood_chit_viper_pilot/
in eu5 malaria resistence is not tied to primary culture (which i THINK is the closest analogue to ethinicity, i dont know what determines portrait skin colour but im guessing it to be that) but where your capital is located, which is bonkers for a veriety of reasons, chief among them being giving malaria resistence to north africans like tunisians..? but idk how malaria works IRL so how to make that better i dont know, i just dont know
Why is there a female ancient Roman emperor according to ck3?
Nero was biracial trans icon.
i honestly dont know how to make it better either without a dedicated malaria DLC>female ancient Roman emperor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elagabaluslater sources, which are overtly biased against Elagabalus so this could be slander, claim that Elagabalus would offer large sums of money to phisicians capable of performing a sex changewe can't know what they did or did not say for real but (i think) all of the sources at the very least agree that they were a lala prancing faggot and very feminine, most of this reputation is probably from starting off as a devotee of a cult that was overwhelmingly mostly women, either way in the case of ck3 it's mostly just a funny easter egg cuz it's not like ancient roman shit ever comes up during ck3 gameplayNero married a tranny so yeah kinda
there's this weird reversal when it comes to ancient sources where people (like nfag) nowadays will call taylor swift, macron's wife or michelle obama a tranny and a good portion of the population will treat those accusations seriously but whenever an ancient author calls their political opponents a tranny we must automatically and categorically always assume it's slander and not in any way based in factwas elagabalus trans? idk probably not but I don't see how that's completely out of the question or not worth entertaining
>phoenician seizes power in Rome>humiliates and degrades Romans by forcing through an appalling cultNo surprise leftists and herstorians love this individual.
>christians do the exact same thing >we're expected to cheer for them though because they banned all other worship to boot
Literally procopius-tier slander, why do retards take this seriously
why does this guy ^ avatarfag with this picture?
yes when others force their religion it's bad when we force our religion it's goodwhen bin laden blew up that bhudda statue that's a crime against humanity, when Boniface-Wynfreth destroyed Donar's Oak we began to call him SAINT Boniface and continue to give him dedications like how we made him the offical patron of Devon in 2019that's just how it works and if you can't get behind that, guess what, that makes you a traitor and the first bullet is reserved for the traitor
this but unironicallyiconoclasm in general is based
CK2 itself lampshades the idea of later historians coming up with inane ways to misinterpret slander of earlier writers.If you forge a bloodline and go down the murder route one of your options is to become "the Dragon". If you do that and your ruler dies, their graphical culture is updated postmortem to literally make them a dragon.Incidentally if such a ruler becomes a saint (which requires you to have a pretty questionable Pope) your epithet updates to "the Dragon-Saint" which might be the most badass epithet available to western Europeans

34Is is not the same thing. When Christianity became the state religion of Rome, it was by Romans for Romans and by Greeks for Greeks. Whereas Elagabalus was obvious a non-Roman who hated everything Roman and imposed a totally foreign religion on Romans.
it didn't die it they just conspired to remove it from all browsershow could it have died if i have a flashplayer.exe on my pc?
explain to me how a romanised arab introducing a cult from his part of the empire is not okay but a non-romanised jew (simon peter) introducing a cult from his part of the empire (that was only upgraded from a client kingdom within living memory) is perfectly fine and dandyobviously if elagabalus was succesful then the next generation of administrators would've been roman
well one had roman citizenship and the other didnt
it's different in that the former was forced and the latter was hugely favored by the ppl especially if you count the religion of sol invictus which it syncretized with
it was so hugely favoured that they had to make any opposition illegal and kill people for saying otherwisei'm sure if elegabalus was succesful we'd all be saying how he was hugely favoured by the people
source on that claim?making sacrifices illegal is not throwing filthy pagans to the lions in the colosseum (what should have been)
im driving right now let me get back to you on that later
have a drink mate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_pagans_in_the_late_Roman_Empire>even a website as jewish as wikipedia that never fails to miss even the tiniest evil of huwhite men and their christian religion doesn't list any actual violent persecution, just minor local legislative inconveniences
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantius_II#Religious_issues>Laws dating from the 350s prescribed the death penalty for those who performed or attended pagan sacrifices, and for the worshipping of idols.[64][65][66] Pagan temples were shut down,[67][68] and the Altar of Victory was removed from the Senate meeting house.[69] There were also frequent episodes of ordinary Christians destroying, pillaging and desecrating many ancient pagan temples, tombs and monuments.[70][71][72][73] Paganism was still popular among the population at the time.I guess death penalty is just a mild inconvenience huh
>huwhite men and their christian religionchristianity is a semitic religion imposed upon huwhite men via subversion and later by force, you're just one of the many retards that fell for it
don't look up what "messiah" means noooo don't look it up nooo he's white!! white!! jews were white back then!!
the latin alphabet is a semitic alphabet imposed upon huwhite men via subversion and later by force, you're just one of the many retards that fell for it
>3 posts in a rowsomeone's upset
yes, sorry, the human sacrifices will stopcompare that to the mass scale pogroms of innocent christians in the earlier centuries and you'll see that this oppression is a minor thing on the roman scale
>For example, in 341, Constantine's son Constantius II enacted legislation forbidding pagan sacrifices in Roman Italy. In 356, he issued two more laws forbidding sacrifice and the worship of images, making them capital crimes, as well as ordering the closing of all temples. There is no evidence of the death penalty being carried out for illegal sacrifices before Tiberius Constantine (r.578–582), That's mild as hell by the Roman standards
>the human sacrifices will stop1) nowhere are human sacrifices mentioned, sacrifices of all kinds were banned, which at that point meant animal sacrifices2) according to your cult your own god mandated human sacrifices to his chosen people, see Exodus 22
sacrifices being banned means all sacrifices will stop, including human, duhyou're not very good at this logic thing, especially considering you can't even read exodus 22 if you find human sacrifices there
>bans all driving>hurr durr that just bans drunk driving>no it says all driving>yeah that includes drunk driving retard, what are you a drunk driver??>you can't even read exodus 22 if you find human sacrifices there>29 “You shall not delay to make offerings from the fullness of your harvest and from the outflow of your presses. “The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.>30 You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to me.We start off with offering from the harvest, "give your firstborn son to me", do the same to the firstborn of the livestock. We have offerings and sacrifices and in the middle "giving your firsborn son to me", I wonder what that could possibly mean... In the hebrew the same verbal root is used when refer to what is happening to the firstborn son as well as to the firstborn of the livestock. IN FACT, the verb isn't even repeated, the last verse is subordinate to the verb that is being used in the last clause of verse 29, it is literally "your firsborn son you will give to me and do the same to the firstborn of your livestock", the plain reading of the text is that whatever is being done to the livestock is also done to the firstborn children.
if you eliminate all driving then drunk driving will disappear as well. obviously. are you stupid?as for the latter cope paragraph have you heard of this little known guy called isaac?
re: Exodus 22:29-30 promoting child sacrificereread Exodus 13 and report back with findings
Yeah, I know the guy
Exodus 13 only supports my view since it was written after exodus 22The covenant code are the earliest legistlative text in all of the hebrew bible, Exodus 13 comes from after the composition and initial circulation of exodus 21 and 22, so these are responding to what is going on in an earlier text. The idea conveyed here is that the sacrifice of the firstborn is symbolic, referring to the exodus narrative, so the firstborn is destined for sacrifice, however, you are to step in and redeem it. This is a renegociation of precisely what the command is understands the fundamental command to be to sacrifice your firsborn child, but adding a way out. We can go on like this, Exodus 34 (again, coming after the covenant code) >All that first opens the womb is mine, all your male[d] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep. The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty-handed.So again, the same idea. The command is to sacrifice your firsborn son BUT there is a way out, you can redeem it instead. These are both renegociations of the commandment that understand the commandment to be to sacrifice your firstborn child that just add redemptive clause.and yes i am actively choosing not to respond to the disengenious sophist retard that conflates any and all sacrifices with human sacrifices
so there's no human sacrifices and you just misunderstood, got it. glad we cleared it up
>human sacrifice commanded>later text says "okay i know it says to sacrifice humans BUT there's a way out if you do x...">this means there were never human sacrificeswhy are christians only capable of posting such low level bait
>a piece of text taken out of context is completely true and your religion is bad because of it>this other piece of text that precedes it and gives it context is not true, not valid and you should never use itwhy are they like this?
the amount of own firstborns (male) sacrificed by christians is only topped by the amount of innocent pagans dragged out in the streets and slaughtered by the highest roman authorities
>t-taken out of context!!!!classic christian sophismput it in context for us then :-) in what context is my reading not the plain reading of the text? Explain Ezekiel 20 while you're at it :^)
it's put into context by exodus 13, obviously
>this other piece of text that precedes itbut anon already adressed this and said it was written afterwards? in order for your argument to work you have to completley ignore what he said and pretend he thinks the book of exodus was written by one author in the order that it comes to us in the modern bible
>it's put into context by exodus 13as i said earlier, exodus 13 also understands the commandment to be that of child sacrificewe know it was written after the covenant code, what do you think they were doing in the interrim?
you don't get to pick and choose parts which you consider valid or not. saying that one thing was written earlier or later with zero proof just makes you look like a fool.i already said that staking your whole argument on one part of the text while completely discarding the one that gives it context and clarity is so disingenuous it's not worth replying to. why is one part taken verbatim but the other not at all?
grandi strategy games?
>you don't get to pick and choose parts which you consider valid or not.oh okay so you never wear clothes made of mixed fabrics then?>saying that one thing was written earlier or later with zero proof just makes you look like a fool.oh so you don't know what you're talking about. got it. Google "composition of the torah", i'm done arguing with a retard, i will now end this pointless tirade against a sophist with a lighthearted joke >Abraham and Isaac were walking up the mountain and Isaac said "Hey dad it's getting dark and I'm kinda getting scared." Abraham looked down at the little guy and said, "How do you think I feel? I've gotta walk out of here alone!"
i think this may have been the first time i've seen a troll leave on his own
as a bystander i'd just like to interject and say i googled it and while i don't understand shit it seems like he's right and parts of exodus being written earlier than they're in the book is scholarly consensus so idk just going "nah that didn't happen" seems like cope
me, as another bystander would like to interject and say it was the other anon that won and your guy is coping and seething
human sacrifice was based and redpilledfucking wokefags had to abolish it
as a bystander i'd like to interject and say i don't really care if jews sacrificed children or not their desert fairy tales would be extremely gay either way and if you believe that shit you're retardedthe only jew descended religion that i respect would be the quakers because they're contractually obligated to be friendly and if they're not you can call them a bad quaker and they take it
>say something bad about semitic religion>retard(probably muslim or leftist) turns it into an anti-Christian discussionDidn´t read all that. Elagalbus is still a fag just like his marxist apologists.
there's just something incredibly poetic in being called a faggot by your detractors and then two millenia later have people cheer for how proud of a faggot you were
>say something bad about semitic religion>retard turns into into a discussion against MY semitic religion >how could this possibly happen to me

*votes against it*
>However, some observers have reportedI love how when it comes to countries "we" don't like that's treated as credible but when "some observers" call the US election staged people throw a fit, same caliber of evidence
why would prussian poles and austrian poles vote differently if they're both german poles?
one was trying to germanize them, other didn't care as muchalso one part went through big resettlement thing
but prubia didn't try to germanize the poles that lived within borders of the later soviet union and that got resettled into ex-german lands in 1945we need to dig deeper to find the reasons for this split
Was the polish part of austria-hungary blobbing?
yesat least the congress of vienna borders are somewhat cute in their rectangularness, but the austrians taking land north of warsaw was definitely blobbing
i liked the original partition borders

Reply to this post with a suggestion, do I play:>ck2>ck3>eu4 (anbennar)>vic2>vic3Along with your choice of game, you can pick a country. (or person in ck) I'll do whatever you want me to do and post it here.
play ck2 as the crimean goths and conquer the steppes and put a goth on the chinese throne.starting from whichever start date you prefer.
i will do it if one other person okays it, idk how i feel about stepping on the toes of the cutie that ran at least 3 pagan hyperborea campaigns, you sure this is moral behaviour?
Do a Vic3 Spain game. Try to reconquer the old colonies.
idk why i put vic3 up there that game sucks now that someone named a real game im not playing that sorry maybe later
do that but as the Alans instead
hmmm goths or alans... tough choice...https://poal.me/69akts
choices, choices...
>>2359711>The Conqueror>Starting as a Norse character, rule the Kingdom of England (or the Empire of Britannia) as an English cultured character of a Christian religion.Do this, and then go crusading
i agree with alan but is there even a chyna in ck2?vic3 game is for when you want to watch something and feel like you're not wasting your time by playing a game on the side but you dont actually do anything
china is a mechanic it's not on the mapit's weird youll see when i play apparantly
exclaves are disgusting
just play prussia and form germany, like the good old days
what the fuck are these saves i totally forgot i was doing this

34pruban poles are more liberal because they inherited developed and industrialised lands - many of the poles who live there were deported from kresy and a significant chunk of those are actually rusyns so it isn't like they were brainwashed BY the prubansaustrian galicia, on the other hand, was by far the least developed and most deprived area of austria-hungary - notice how the small section of austrian silesia between cieszyn and bielsko that was actually developed is more liberalit's just a side effect of living in an environment of increased materialism.

look at that coat of armsisnt that based? epic? cool? i think it's based epic and coolbut i dont want to kill your mojo, that's a good post, made an image just for me... permission to do the exact opposite of your campaign, start off as close to china as possible and conquer alania? or do i go with the original plan?

childbride raid on sneedville
Recap of what happened thus far:I declared a humiliation war on the bolghar muslims seeing how they were involved in 2 other wars. It was actually close but I managed to defeat the enemy army by following other enemy armies around and attacking right after another battle, when their morale was recovering. I capured this evil asshole's son and won. Then this happened. I still can't siege down the fort of the tribe to the north of me. I'm working on that though. Taking my frustrations out on the tribe next door. Not sorry, just business.My population is almost reaching critical levels, we need to expand fast.
how do you know it's a russian and not a turk or a pole?
battle duels are complete dogass. never lead your armies
>>>russian
a brave man dies only oncea coward dies every day
it's on brand for me to lead my army and so that's what i will do. Made my son commander as well, fuck you for even suggesting we don't participate in glorious combat.
that's like saying a pole didn't write an article just because it has the silesian spelling instead of a polish spelling
>never lead your armiesif your personal combat skill is high you lose very rarely and even when you lose you mostly get injured.its only dangerous if your character has low martial and personal combat skill
enjoy losing all your limbs then
>kaur basily fart
So this entire time i've been fighting a war against the Khazars, I saw an opportunity to expand my pasture lands for libensraum... i miscalculated, but i managed to shit out enough emergency babies to pull up a sizable coalition against them, got an allience with some shitty slavic tribe west of kyiv, perm... It was close, the war dragged on for way longer than it was worth... and then the khazar khan dies and leaves his son in charge, during the usccession the guy who's lands i wanted to take declares independence. Guess what happens when I press my claim. Guess what happens.Oh, and someone is raiding my yurt.
>kyiv
why can't you subsist on seafood in eu5?
>Guess what happens.idk dude please tell us the suspense is killing me
oh thank zurvan someone asked otherwise i would've had to end it therepic related is what happened, i got that 1 province that's not connected to anything, i think because another invader (abkhazia) built a fort there earlierenclaves suck and with nomads they make 0 sense but i can't really do anything about it, i will try to connect it soon.meanwhile, perm called me into 2 wars and i guess i do owe them, off to fight bolgharia again i go. but first i want to make tver a tributary, no clue why i can reach them with the cb but seems neat :)you can't see it in the pic but the raiders actually got scared and ran away, so i didn't get plundered.
you got that because its the only thing the guy owned in that ducky
The war with Bolgharia was victorious (i got nothing out of it) War with komi? Inconclusive.Tried to invade this 2 province shitter, pulled 2k troops out of his ass, kidnapped my family before i could surrender. It's truly dark times.
there's just something so... kinographic... about playing the one singular non-turkoid nomad in the game and purging the steppes of the slant-eyes and retvrning the land to its aryan roots...
bro cant even conquer a two millimeter tiny province how does bro expect to conquer china ;_;
he has to do what arumba does, the chestburster strat where you swear fealty to a big power then grow within
blud if you're gonna invade some tribal shitter you cant beat just raid his ass and burn his villages before so he doesnt get levies
i know that thats why i said he pulled 2k out of his ass>can't conquer 1 provincewatch this :^)
tribal pagans get to press a button to spend 200 piety to spawn a 2000-strong army when defending against a different religion :)
isn't that only wthout LoR though?
no that's the raise tribal army decision that gives tribals a 2500-strong army for 500 prestige and which can be taken in any war, attacking or defending.
ok a lot has happened and I wanted to trunkate it into 2-3 posts Firstly, I decided once again that I see a golden opportunity to grab some steppes. Immediately, we got stabbed in the back by the pesky slavs. This was BARELY delt with in time. The subsequent war then dragged on, and on, most of my allies actually abandoned me, and Perm sucks and would never get here so I didn't bother. If there's anything we learned from the khazar conflict, it's that such prolongued conflicts, even if we win, are not worth it. White peace. Cut our losses.
my big gripe with the game is how event spawned troops dont reinforce so my autistic ass doesnt use them because i dont want them to reduce
You could almost play it for geopolitical genius: >declare war on the pechengs>bait neighbour into declaring on them as well>white peace>declare on neighbour instead:^) that easygranted I did call tver into this one (and my new vassal, who promptly got his troops wiped, great help buddy)The plan was to kill the vassal army that's raiding my empty pasture, then quickly move in and occupy all that's possible. There was only one serious battle, and it was close, so close that it caused a fundamental change for the betterr in those that participated. To whoever told me not to participate in battles: bet you feel silly now. Though my guy is getting on in years, so this will honestly probably be the last one. Bit of a sidequest, but the guy has this stone thingy that I'd like... and the jews stole it. Our rivals no less. Target for later.I wanted to recoup some losses and raid for a bit, at least 1 burned down tribe, but in the middle of waiting for the siedge to finish, a golden opportunity was once again spotted. The guy that keeps raiding us, the other rival, just declared a revolt against bulgharia. Free realestate. This one year saw us get more land than the entire campaign thus far.
cute
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!This bulgarian cunt actually actually bluffed giving up but we ended up fighting anyway. I retreated because i'm just that fair and honouring agreements, of course.While retreating ANOTHER golden opportunity was spotted, I don't think I need to explain the plan here. But it went even better than expected, no battle was needed, the two idiots held each other in position while I conquered everything. Nice, clean borders, both enclaves got cleaned up within the same year. Yey. However... The russians have decided to strike back and try to reclaim the land that I have laid waste to already. Will they succeed in reclaiming "nusteppe"? Will the Alan dream be crushed by the mighty russian bear? Is this war motivated by revange for some kind of raid that I don't even remember? Join us next time to find out!Attacking religious map because that's the easiest way to see our progress. Randomly stopped being zelous one day, just kinda lost interest in religion i guess, so switching is no longer out of the question.

The real Hyperborea
yeehaw
Saxon Hyperborea
What were the cossacks even as a people? I know they were something but i don't understand what, Wikipedia is incredibly vague.
When the Alan poster happened upon an exclave he took steps to fix it almost immediately.
Hyperborea being located in Scandinavia is a later roman confusion because they thought boros was the equivalent of some god they had Boreos was a god of the northern wind understood to come from beyond the black sea, hyperborea being "beyond borea", presumably with Greece as a starting point. This would place it somewhere in siberia or thereabout

Cossacks were essentially a mishmash of eastern Europeans and western Asians who decided that society sucked ass so they went to go live in the wilderness. the modern anarchist's wet dream basicallythey get lumped in with the Slavs a lot because Slavs made up the biggest share of them
so you're saying slavs larping as turks get lumped in with other slavs who larped as turks a little less?
>the modern anarchist's wet dream basicallyWell, they lived in the unruly southern border region of the Russian Empire and were militarized to fend off steppe raiders. They also helped Russia to expand into the caucasus region,against Poland and the Ottomans. So they are a monarchists wet dream too.
33Solved that problem by connecting to Zeeland. I also let the old germanic revolt in Sweden/Norway secede because I plan to carve out my hyperborean realm in northern Europe without Scandinavia and without the catholic southern German lands.

weird post
weird website
is it true that watching k-on turns you into a fascist?
it turns you into a tranny and turning into a tranny turns you into a fascist
i really don't think that's correct
need i remind you of that hoi4 mod
which hoi4 mod?
there was a hoi4 mod where the dev team collapsed entirely because one of them was a right wing tranny who was dating (in what capacity i don't remember but i think sex was performed at least once) in order to try to get more nazi stuff in the game i dont remember the mod name sorry it has been a while
what's with newfags and being obsessed with a wholly online phenomenon?they will ascribe video games and anime and the like as tranny hobbies and say that engaging in them turns you into a tranny. in fact they're so dumb they're conflating cause and effect — trannies are autistic men so of course they will like things autistic men like, but that does not mean that every man watching anime is a tranny or a tranny-to-bedo they not teach logic in schools anymore?
>do they not teach logic in schools anymore?when did they?i had to learn what an axiom is on my own
rare photo of biggers
they taught me, which is why i don't take men dressing up in women's clothes for the laughs as undeniable proof of transvestitism men in dresses have been a staple of comedy for generationshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckGOKYrGsmE&t=96s
nice kot

this is one of those things that's ungooglable but if you hang around trannies enough (i do it because i'm bisexual and on fetlife yes i know haha) you would know that there's a lot of them in right wing circles and most of them spawn from right wing circleshell if you've been on this general long enough you'd know that to be true, not going to go on but if you know you know
i've been in this general for over 10 years now and i've noticed no such thing, but then again i don't hang out with trannies out of my own volition so maybe your perception really is skewed
i'm not saying it's not but it's really bizzarly common like i was 14 and kept being sent jordan peterson rants from this kid in school guess what that kid has been a girl for idk 6 years nowmaybe that's why i'm so acutely aware of whenever this happens cuz witnessing that unfold in real time is a formidable memory for me but i think it's mostly just the fact that i'm in a unique position where i get to witness similar things a lotit's kind of like saying the president of the local birdwatcher club notices a weirdly high amount of hawks, maybe it's because he's in a position to watch birds all day, maybe it's because he's looking out for hawks more so than the average bird enthusiast, maybe it's a bit of both, who's to sayby the way i've been in this general for idk how long but nbro will confirm my story is true without naming names
so you're saying a person you know that you know followed a zionist jew turned into a transvestite and that's why you think anime turns you into a transvestite even though there are at least an order of magnitude more relatively normal men watching anime?weird logic
Shit, I watched Jordan Peterson once
>>>/wsg/6108203*turns you into a femboy*
>>2360332why was this post deleted?
>so you're saying a person you know that you know followed a zionist jew turned into a transvestitei wouldnt put it like that mainly because peterson is not a jew he is a confused retard who in his delusions of grandeur parrots evangelical talking points, unless you want to categorically call all evangelicals jews it's not really accurate to call him a jew and as you noticed i didn't call him an evangelical myself because I don't think he even realises that that shit isn't orthodox>and that's why you think anime turns you into a transvestite No, i'm saying that's a formidable memory for me and the first time that i've witnessed the right wing anime watching man into trans woman pipeline and so, because this happened to someone i personally knew since highschool, i've been acutely aware of this phenomenon and thus primed to notice and remember it each time I see it.I have a friend who's a welder and he told me that one of the funniest things about the job is that he started noticing people's terrible welding skills on things like railings next to stairs. It's not like he thinks that because he became a welder people's welding skills decreased but he became aware of what is and isn't a good welding job and thus started to notice and take note of poorly constructed railings in the area. In the same way, if you haven't been exposted to the phenomenon of trans women spawning from right wing circles you would not notice it because you a) don't care and b) don't know what to look for
so what you're saying you've obsessed your way into a lifelong confirmation bias? you're treating a tiny minority of fascists as an overarching rule without even knowing what fascism is. evola would be appalled at jordan petersbergjust like you started noticing poor welds without having any knowledge of welding or calculating welded join strength yourself and would get fooled by a shit weld that was ground for aesthetics in accordance with the saying "angle grinder and paint make you the welder you ain't"
i'm sick and tired of trannies "stealing" our hobbies for propaganda purposes and retards playing right into their hands by accepting stolen hobbies as always having been tranny hobbiesi will play fallout and i won't hear any nonsense about it being for trannies
i wouldn't call it an obsession that's for sureis a bit of confirmation bias involved? yeah probably, but it's undeniably something i have seen numerous times, you keep refusing to engage with the fact that it happens frequently, idk, you're free to argue that it's a minority, i have no statistics as to how frequent this is as a percentage of the population, all i know is that it happens but idk why im arguing with you seeing how youre a dumbass who cant even read my post and see that i'm not claiming to be a welder i said my friend is a welder and i'm relaying what he told me, i don't know what separates a good weld from a bad one myself... learn to read
but that's literally what i meant: you're not a welder, you have no knowledge of welding yet you've learned to recognize some bad welds and this means you've wrongly assumed that you understood the underlying principle of bad welds, when you ignore the welds that look good at a glance but are bad or welds that look bad at a glance but are structurally sound enough for that particular purposeit's all quite poetic really, your own metaphor proves my point yet you have the gall to call me a retard when i don't mean to be insulting or beligerent, i just disagree with your notion. and after all isn't that the point of discussion between friendly people? to discard all false ideas and come up with the truth
>but that's exactly what i mean, *posts the opposite of what i just said*
i've just reiterated what i said, because you didn't seem to catch that i read what you wrote and falsely assumed that i didn't engage your point when i did. i've used your own point to illustrate your flaws in logic, in both examples39 also brings up an interesting point that there are many thing trannies do and share doing with normal or otherwise maladjusted people, but that does not make those things exclusively a tranny domain. in fact, conceding them those domains is playing right into their brainwashing hands
another thing is post №11on the internet you'll often see modern "communists" attacking perceived fascists by using pictures of the heer dressing up as women for laughs and saying that all national socialists were faggots, yet when talking to others they'll espouse the merits of wide social acceptance and privileges for faggotry. this is right out of alinsky's playbook: shame the enemy on whatever front is possible, even if you yourself don't believe that his actions are shameful; it's enough that he believes soand the fact that marx and lenin thought faggotry was a bourgeois affliction is just the icing on the cake
lenin decriminalized faggotry
lenin was pragmatic to the core, he needed to free up the resources of his sacred police to the incoming decapitalization (more like decapitation, heh) of the countrysidecan't kill both faggots and kulaks at the same time

>jet fuel can't melt steel beams>well actually i hang around steel beems a lot and i've personally seen steel beams being melted by jet fuel several times, in fact it'd say it's weirdly common>WOAH YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH STEAL BEAMS IT'S CONFIRMATION BIAS THAT'S ALL
>trannies are right wingers because i hang around trannies a lot
>is it true that all jet fuel will melt all steel beams?>yes, it is true, i've witnessed jet fuel melt a steel beam once, but it wasn't really a steel beam more like a wooden beam painted silver and it wasn't jet fuel but thermite
i've said multiple times that i don't know what percentage of the general population goes through something like this nor do i have any statistics, i'm just saying i've seen it happen many times, again, including this very general
opinion on white chocolate?
too sweet
it's literally made of cacao what more do you fucking want
it is sweet but not sure if i wouldn't call it too sweet, it goes well with a tea
for me, it's high cocoa content dark chocolate chased with a glass of cold milk
you're just making milk chocolate in your mouth, might as well get it done for you at the factory did you know tea is chemically addicting?
does that make the opium wars fair trade?
warmer (around room temperature) milk tastes better than cold one
maybe my taste is a little skewed. i bought hot white chocolate once and it practically seared itself to the roof of my mouth. way more creamy and sweet than regular hot choco. can't eat normal white chocolate without remembering the it anymore.
i actually don't like room temp milkmuch prefer either cold (refrigerated) or hot (boiled)

if he take an airplane on one leg of the joyrine yehnm thats cheatping but yeah no fuck that fuck you dude fuck my flie fucl
reminds me of those videos that say "can you beat x game with only y weapon" that appear all the time in my recommendedi've only clicked on one of them once and the guy went "yeah, you can, but you only get that weapon halfway through the game so we're gonna play the first half like normal" and i closed the tab
if he cheats and just takes an airplane over both sudans and lands in cairo then yeah it's cheatng and lameif he takes a bus between two stations because the track is renovated or walks between two stations in the same town or takes a cab to get from one tanzanian town to another i'd say that's fairi mean if the train derails at some point and the company sends a replacement bus to take you to the nearest train station, would you call that cheating?
i wouldn't call that cheating but it's certainly unsatisfyingthink of a passionate mountain climber training a long time to reach his favorite peak but while he's up top he breaks his ankle and has to be evacuated via a helicopter. you just know he'd be dissatisfied and would be the first in line to try again once his leg heals
my favourite meme is "can you beat x game using y weapon" and the answer is clearly yes because you can beat the game without using *a* weapon once and that is already on record as being doablethat genre of video is like, 5 amazing videos and a bunch of dogshit ones trying to hop in on the trend but without good ideas of their ownhere's a link to an actually great video in this genre, i highly recommend it, i stake my reputation on this video being great trust me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmpXf0nFCII
the real mvp of those videos is can you beat mario without jumpingthe famous "half an A-press" debacle
>reputationwe're on an anonymous forum doe
the thing is with real world scenarios you can't really treat it the same as a video game challange in a video game challange you can say "can i get from x to y only going in water" and if you step out of water in 1 spot for 1 second that counts as a failureIRL you can't really do that because you're invonveniencing real people with your anticsthe moment you allow yourself to step out of the train station to visit the city you're in you started going down a slippery slope additionally, part of the appeal is doing things "the old fashioned way", someone who hikes does so partially, conciously or not, because that's how the ancestors travelled. same here. someone who intended to go from cape to cairo back in the day wouldn't ban themself from walking a mile or two for a better connection
isn't the goal the english imperialistic dream of cape to cairo railway which betrays their deep envy of russia and their transsyberian railway? you know, staying on one train the whole trip, socializing with other passengers as if on a land bote
just once I want to see one of those videos go as follows>can you beat [game] without [thing you have to do immediately]?>no>45 minutes of end screen to fill the runtime and bait people into clicking
there's nothing stopping you from doing that yourself other than the fact that people won't stick with the video for 45 minutes so it will have abysmal watchtime statistics
it would require me to play a game that's not a /gsg/
this is what i hate about the modern internet — everything is a scheme to get rich and stop wageslavingremember back in the day all those flash videos and games all created for the joy of creation and sharing? we truly lost something as a society

17 youre not wrong but you're just complaining about having ungated accesss to professionals where previously you only had ungated access to amatours like you can still find amatour shit that's done for fun online just hte other day i found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IadaqLfAnUsorry wrong video but proves my point alsohere's the series i found earlierhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ3G1fp4UTAthis is almost EXACTLY the same quality as red vs blue, it's clearly done as a passion project with no monetary incentive, but i can guarantee you it won't ever hit as many views as that, and a lot of the views are inflated by nostaliga.Why is that? Is it *because* it's not made to make money, or because it's directly competing with Babylon 5 and Mythbusters, fully fledged TV shows made by professionals that are also avaliable for free on the same platform? The fact of the matter is that old youtube still exists it's just buried beneath new youtube and new youtube is made by professionals who know what they're doing. An amatour that wants to "make it" has to find a very specific niche, where as back then you could do whatever because there was no professional competition. And this extends to all facets of content by the way, like you *could* watch someone's vlog about what they think the bible talks about or you could watch a bible scholar with 20 or so years of experience and published reaserch instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoeSVt7qZuo when i say an amatour needs to find a specific niche i mean SPECIFICthis post was written with no spellcheck i have no respect for the english language
i checked and they actually privated the babylon 5 uploads what they fkcthey were official uploads of full episodes less than a month ago (as of 15/02/2026 they were up) this is bullshitwell my point stands there's other tv shows on youtube i think hallmark uploads all their movies on there
>bible scholar with 20 or so years of experience and published reaserch>click video>it's literally that i thought you were exaggerating what the fuck lolthis is like when you find out how old people use facebook and that there is this whole dimension of shit you never cared about so you dont know it existed, there's apparantly this entire sphere of youtube dedicated to discussing the bible lol idk why it's so funny but i cant even
i'm not talking about things like mythbusters i'm not stupid and i don't think they were even on jewtube back in the dayi'm talking about flash videos like the madness series or flash games like kramer's hentai adventure, now a lot of that stuff is used as a springboard for some other sort of popularity like "subscribe to my patreon" or "check out my twitch account". even if those people don't want money directly they will try to leverage their niche popularity into some other sort of commercial success like toby fox using his popularity in the homestuck fandom to springboard his game
yeah as it turns out there is legitimate educational content online for almost any subject you can imagineyou just have to dig through thirty thousand tons of garbage to find it
doesn't help that the jewtube search function is really trash (by design)
The greatest warrior to ever live, Fylkir Hoger "The Red Storm", proclaims his empire. The Empire of Hyperborea!
buddy you do realise people who voice acted for kramer's hentai adventure games are now professional anime voice actors?springboarding from amatour projects into professional productions is a very common aspiration in any creative industry
same with flash games, the guy that made bowmaster prelude works for netflix gamesi have no clue what netflix games does but he works there so they must be doing somethingif you've been doing something for 10+ years and you still haven't found a way to make money off of it, you're either not good at it or you're not doing it "enough" (this is not a value judgement, you might just be doing it as a hobby and having a real job elsewhere, nothing wrong with that)
okay i need the panel for this oneis that hyperborea blobbing? yes or noi like how one of your top vassals is mazdan though and that's an oddly aesthetic khazaria for an AI
i didn't realize which is the point (and it means it probably isn't true)but you didn't have people begging for the patreons or including retarded sponsors in every single thing they're did. i don't know why you're nu-uhing to everything i say all of a sudden
it won't get views because it won't show upyoutube search is useless like everything else googlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeedJ8bbOLi75E1QOCizf7gfor example, this is the best game development series I've found and I only found it after months of searchingwhen I tried to find it again even knowing what to look for it was buried under pages of "I made ai better than my ex-girlfriend" tiktoksif I hadn't used invidious it might not have shown up at all
>(and it means it probably isn't true)are you calling me a liar?>but you didn't have people begging for the patreons or including retarded sponsorsbecause they were amatours and didn't know what they were doing, some of them that is, I personally recall a popular let's play channel shilling some random books by a guy he met at a convention as an example
are you saying there was a time when the best stuff was always the first result when searched for?

actuhhahlly circumcision isnt mandatory in silam i thighnk
amateurs have always become professionals but you can't deny that youtube and the internet in general had a lower percentage of less overtly commercial gold diggers in 2006, unless you weren't born then
>are you saying there was a time when the best stuff was always the first result when searched for?there was a time where it actually appeared
yes that is true and that's what i was talking about, amateurs reigned supreme because they didn't have professional competition yet
i'm calling you confused. after all memory is a fickle thing and we all make mistakes sometimelying would be intentional, but being misled by your own senses and memory is not. now now, no need to be upset, go watch another rick and morty (literal pederast show) shirt guy talk about the bibble
dunno about best but you got what you searched for at least
you can either pay for a movie ticket and watch a film that has product placement in it because it's made by people who want to get paid, or you can watch a student film for free because they're making it for fun and to learn the craftsame with youtube
you can install sponsorblock but that wouldn't change the fact that everything became commercialized
>are you calling me a liar?if you are intentionally spouting an incorrect statement, you are a liarif you are doing so without intent, then you are just wrong
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IadaqLfAnUthis video goes crazy
it's an issue of intentions:seeing a guy create for the joy of creation fills you with the same joy. he's like a medieval author creating anonymously for the glory of g-dconversely seeing a guy create something just so he can stave off the pain of wageslavery makes you unconsciously aware of the implicit goals that person has and it taints the art. and that's without even mentioning how a guy creating for money will kowtow to every whim of the company allowing him to make money

I didn't want to post during the same time as gothbro from whom I have stolen most of the thunder so I combined what happened in this episode. Read this image like two scrolls. We first start with a nod to Turksoy, where, if this campaign were to go to the 21st century, we would both hold observer status. Vgh... Return to the steppe my brothers...The Surgen khanate has been absorbed back into khazaria, as expected, I did leave them as a rump state. Khazaria consolidating power is not a good thing, but as we will see later, they do have a messy succession shortly after. In trying to reconsile with my would-be kievan ally, it goes sour. FUCK russians. They are terrible people and this is the final straw, we should be killing them and crushing them beneath our feet.Go to next image, Alexandr of Pronsk, this man is an agent of the demiurge trying to spread chaos into this world so that the forces of evil desseminate more and more. See that child that was born there? Also "dissapeared"... and I could've saved him... But, russians are just like this. They don't deserve their own society. No screenshot for this but the khazaria had a succesion, the only inheritor to the clan that ruled up until this point was underage, the top title went to someone else, this caused some fracture and this guy broke off. He's weak, so I tested a new strategy: sending my vassal to do my work for me while i'm off raiding and fighting.It went great, dunno what you could expect to go wrong, 750 vs 250, my guy won, he got humiliated, in retrospect i could've made him a tributary instead but whatever. Since the test was so effective I did try the same thing on this tribe. He might be the first russian I've seen with some semblence of intelligence since he flatly offered to surrender. Cought in a good mood, ve Burtas accepts.1/2
b-lining for holy sites is blobbingim sorry but its truethere is realisitcally no reasonable way you should be able to hold those few islands unless with a naval blocade, you should have a continuous presence on the coast instead. that's my opinion
vgh>b-liningits not doe, i control coasts right next to it
The plan next is to do the same to this much smaller tribe right next door. Not only does he not surrender, the tribe I first tried this with is so weak that they can't even handle him, I had to send in Tver to take over the attack, together they managed, but they're still sieging as of writing this.You will notice the man in charge of religious matters in the realm has been corrupt, normally this would not be worth mentioning (like the fact that the wife died off-screen, she wasn't involved in anything at any point anyway, let's move on) the important thing is where he ended up exiled to. Look at this man. The alan nation is spreading! fact: alans are the most powerful race on earth.Sadly that was also our physician, and the only other person even remotely qualified is some guy I grabbed earlier to treat my daughter, whom i immediately replaced with someone more qualified once that was possible. Learning of 7. So far, he hasn't done anything. At this age, we need to cherish every moment we have left.That's why we're doing what's long overdue, free our son, from the guy that killed our daughter. War declared, preperations involved raiding his territory so his surprise ass army doesn't pose as much of a threat and... he proposes to give up my son... just like that...How do we feel about this? This guy is a piece of work, I mean he is straight up evil... Which is what makes me feel like this is a thinly vailed threat. But at the same time, shouldn't he get a taste of his own medicine? let me know what you think on our social media, don't forget to tune in next time for the Alan Cronicles.
am i missing something? these are provinces right next to zeeland, you control these?
its time...i think im going with this reformation. discuss.ill do it next sesh, i will also consult the wiki on the fine print before i do it.no memes like divine marriage this time around. had enough of that in my previous mega campaign.

yeah and owning those looks mega gross
also honorable mention to this fucking beast.cant wait to see what he will be capable of with warmongering nature
I will go from least to most "important" in my opinionWarmongering is, imo, both not on theme and not optimal for a fun experience. I think that due to the gothic experience in the black sea, experiencing christianity, it would make sense for this new reformed germanic faith to take on aspects of christianity, the parts that made it insidious and a threat to the religion in the first place: take proslethising instead. By focusing on proslethising, you will be able to turn back the tide and challange the abrahamics at their own game, ensuring that the religion and country actually survives even in an absence of a great leader. In gameplay terms: AI will only try to convert pagan provinces if you pick warmongering. Meritocracy is a bit overkill, it's good but it's not on theme with the somewhat chaotic northern tribes that were just united. If you want to control inheritence, go with Agnatic clans instead. That gives you something similar, but with better flavour. Sons of Ragnarok is a given. And lastly, I ALWAYS see temporal leadership being picked. I'm just saying, it's been done. With the unique perspective of a convert FROM christianity, maybe Autocephalous would be cool? especially if yo ugo with proslethising, since you can convert all kinds of pagan realms then.
having said all that: the world seems pretty thoroughly NORS'D by this point so honestly idk well actually as i type this addendum, no, this is even stronger evidnece that warmongering is overkill at this point, you already warmonger fine without it :)
i second temporal leadership being overdone, even if it is strongyou should ponder if you plan to conquer everthing and everyone yourself or if you want to spread the religion. if it's not the former dont go temporal imo
i say you should press the random button 5 times and go with whatever you roll. the character is a theologian but he's also mediocre in everything lol ii imagine him throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks
do that^^^
^^ do that but force Sons of Ragnarok if it's not one of the doctrines you roll
yes bro you should reform with christian syncretism and also allow incest :-) and start calling yourself aaron
i support pressing random that sounds fun, ragnarok being forced through is fine if it fits in with the rest i dont get what the dude above me is saying whos aaronhttps://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1773323336367215.mp4
how is the bible the word of god if half of it is saint peters' words who is not considered god in any denomination
>warmongering is overkill at this point>i second temporal leadership being overdoneyoure right. probably going with proselytising + sons of ragnarok + agnatic clans + autocephalous
you mean saint paul's, there are two letters of peter (though if you think both were actually written by peter...) but saint paul is the most prolific author of the new testament (or at least... if you count all the fake letters... ehh...)anyway the idea is that god "inspired" the text, as to what that means, different people put it differently but he like, gave them all ideas basically
>how is the bible the word of god if half of it is saint peters' wordsbro it's not like jesus wrote the gospels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmUhJVfg9v4the alans be like
>probably going with proselytising + sons of ragnarok + agnatic clans + autocephalouswe moved past good ideas, random was the idea that stuck
You guys have it ALL wrong It's a hyperborea campaign, both in universe and irl it should be inspired by hyperborea. Otherwise it makes no sense Now, how is hyperborea described in Greek myth? >peaceful >plentiful in food aka prosperous >free of conflict>free from tyrany or coercion>place where people live without a careful in the world uninhibited >super casual on suicide and euthanasiaDunno what you can do about that last one but the others give you something to work with.
went to check the menu of a pizzeria I drive by sometimes and one of their listed specials has a description referencing the JFK assassinationtoo bad that they're not open at a time where it's convenient for me to be there because they certainly have my attention
your mom is a holy siteand my seed are the pilgrims
>It's a hyperborea campaign, both in universe and irl it should be inspired by hyperborea. Otherwise it makes no sensegood point but also im rewatching legend of the galactic heroes and there there is this epic grob germaniums but in space and its germanic, not christian, and its imperialistic, and basically i draw inspiration from that in my campaign, you see.

I like itNorse being like that is more unique and crafty. Having said that; any particular reason for unyielding over say proselytising?
reformation is retarded not stooping to the level of christcucks and staying unreformed and weathering the storm is trad and sovl
ugh... im gonna do it... im gonna.... im gonna.............>particular reason for unyielding over say proselytisingbecause the goal isnt to convert all of europe to germanic so i dont feel the need for mission bonuses and such.>not stooping to the level of christcucks and staying unreformed and weathering the storm is trad and sovlyeah choosing unyielding over proselytising is kinda like that
im refoooooormiiiing VVGGHHHHHhmm none of the other germanics adopted the reformed faith except for iceland. well, their loss
ah yes doing the same thing that hasn't been working is how you win don't change to adapt to your enemy, the phalanx is the most effective form of warfare, never deviate.What's the one pagan society that survived to the modern day? Hinduism. How did they make it? By having written scripture. Reformation makes sense because it gives you an identity to cling to. Without it, you're just someone who prays to gods, okay, well If that's what we do then why not pray to the god that has taken over half of Europe already, yahweh? and that's how it starts.Reformation is necessary because by having a Canon of "this happened" you can now look at other canons and say "no, that did NOT happen"
Ah yes the old school British Isles... Home...
>the phalanx is the most effective form of warfare, never deviateit literally worked for 2 thousand years, you're just not disciplined enough for it
that slut will never reproduce
You should go easy on your revolt leader seeing how he converted despite the political turmoil
*runs around you*nothing personal
fuckin power ranger lookin ahh
are you okay? you sound like you're in pain
why does he hold a claim to a temple he doesn't have
no idea. its the temple in gotland.
is that about fylkir herakleios or bejnamin netanyahu?
shut up stupid
*keeps talking because he's not stupid so it clearly wasn't addressed towards him*
just kind of annoying that choosing any leadership other than temporal is deliberately gimping yourself for the sake of rp.
give him the temple of gotlandgotland will be known as the new rome
ugh

the area is highlighted because im fighting an uprising
you will notice khazars have not in fact even touched the goth land
if you befriend the Khazars you can steal their milker genes for yourself
would be cool if autonomous leadership meant that mass conversions such as that instead converted them to a reformed version of their own faith...
that doesnt make sense would be cool if you got to like, incorporate their dieties into your framework more likebut TO BE HONEST you should require picking syncretism for that

ughall of this makes me want to try a Vandal LARP campaignexcept that comes with several problems>closest cultures (Gothic, Visigothic) were hated enemies and would not Vandal LARP>neither they nor the next-best option of the Alans can raid innately which feels antithetical to the whole pointI guess there's always the Norse as the next-best option down the linealso any route would feel like /gsg/ campaign infringement especially since I'm the one who suggested that that guy play the Alans
just make a custom culture at that point like yeah nobody self-identifed as "the vandals" because they all assimilated or died

eww
life finds a way

hyperborea status?it feels like it's not very "hyper"
Hyperborea is just the southern tip of sweden. Everything else is just a buffer. That's why england doesn't matter.
thats correct. its not very "hyper" because, in fact, it is very "gyper".

it is unclear if Crimean Gothic used /v/ or /w/, but the language of the Gothic Bible, while known to not be directly ancestral to it, used /w/ exclusively (as determined by the spelling of transcriptions with Greek)so something like Swithiod would probably be a bit more authentic than Svithiod

sorry the PC I'm playing on was cut off from the internet so I can't post it, any attack I do just gets intercepted and it's too late to convertI was thinking of just declaring war on my neighbors and randomly attacking them, is that a good idea?
Coming back to the cliffhanger from last episode: due to low engagement I had to decide myself, and I decided that it's a ploy, that the dog would sacrifice my son if I refused. Proposal accepted, my son is home.Opportunity to snag some people into my growing army, dully needed.
i like how ck2 hordes just blob and everyone magically assimilates when you conquer them
are you implying that wasn't what happened historically
>i like how ck2 hordes just blob and everyone magically assimilates when you conquer themthat's not how it happens, you have to kill everyone first better genocide than hpmDeclared war on that russian freak for half of his land, scourge of russians indeed. Tributaries were told to move, russians are quick to destroy each other. Look at what they've done to my boy. Anyway, internet cafe bro, i got you. What you need to do is spam troops if you can and pick a defensive position. Get a good general and so on. If you can win a battle, try to do so. If you don't think you're up to the task, check what kind of surrender they will accept. What are your and their numbers like anyway?
Here's a gamble that completley did not pay off. One of my daughters needed a husband, and I am trying to limit the amount of asiatic genes that enter our bloodline, ESPECIALLY paternal. I chose to marry her off into the emerging lithuanian "royal" family. I thought that if I play nice, declare an allience, send a monetary gift and generally act friendly, we might send some light to those people. I was wrong. At least he agreed to sell him back to us for a further monetary sum. But we are on very shaky ground. Perhaps we should have cut our relationship there.
tried the same with perm and he sent him back. acceptable somewhat
Three things 1) I'm sending one of my sons to work with a mercenary company. My inheritor has been through enough, he commanded my armies numerous times, i'll let someone else get first hand experience.2) How is it that despite calling in 3 tributary states, we're still the only ones fighting3) Poland converted at some point.
Look, culture doesn't "magically" change, you have to change it yourself.

there is no trend though, there are still more amateurs uploading to youtube for fun than you could possibly hope to watch in your lifetime
there is a trend you're just to blind to see it
i miss when i could find interesting vlogs on youtube
at this point youre not complaining about videos you claim to like not existing but other videos existing in parallel on the same platformthe videos exist and i've been able to find them with ease so uhhh skill issue
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGYTPAyRaCM&t=7soh look, even your own example of "ye olde youtube not being dead" is engaging in the poisonous practice of self-censorship to appease the algorithm godat least the people doing it for money i can understand, they're dedicated enough to pursue the goal of making money. that's commendable in its own way even if it is one of the things that ruined the internet
>spy >no ambassadorreal scrub hours
>even your own example of "ye olde youtube not being dead" is engaging in the poisonous practice of self-censorship to appease the algorithm god>suicide discussion and swearing in the first 2 seconds of the videoI'm not watching the whole thing but if you're so fucking triggered by the idea of someone editing their video in any way you are the problem and are just looking for things to get mad at
the ambassador got nerfed it's not nearly as good as it used to bealso yeah waht censorship is that schizo talking about
i timestamped it for you, retardhe censored the nigger word because he's either:a) scared of the algorithm not pushing his videos (he hopes he makes it big)b) he's a part of the cargo cult created by the people who didn't want to get demonetizedi don't know which of these is worse, but certainly both of these prove my point, not yours
wtf how did they nerf it?
wrong there are way less vlogs in the modern era
we're never gonna get kino the calibre of "leave brittney alone" ever again...
critical damage falls off with rangenvm the reatard is bitching about them censoring multiple swears for comedic effect AAAHHH what a travesty im sure this never happened 10 years ago lmao get a life dudehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ugi3oxo_-where's an interesting vlog took me 10 seconds to find it
whatever happened to the leave britney alone guy im actually scared to loik him up since hes probably trans but i really do miss that era of videos pls tell me about your ideas
just look him up pussy
Here's something that happened. He said he'd be my vassal, he did pay up but after that he still hates me and just lives there.
looked him up and he is a tranny from uk(typical) not interested in the rest but we need more vlogs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HytKRXY3MEim sure this video was made to make money
>frogposting>samefagging>dismissing a clear piece of evidence against his thesis as a jokeah, so now i know for sure i'm just trying to argue with a trolling retard that doesn't even believe his own positionbut let us give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not retarded, just this once. imagine the amount of conditioning a generation has to undergo to consider censorship to the tune of roblox damage sound to be comedic. exactly what 10+ years of commercialization of the internet and self-censorship to the point bleeping out the safest of curses would do.that's exactly how you get a generation that will say "ahh" instead of "ass" irl, because they were raised on this fake and gay internet
qrd for the fellas who only read the bottom of the thread
we have a troll that argues against anything anyone says in the thread, even if it's as factual as the sky being bluejust look at how he used a 7 year old gachimuchi video to prove that the internet is no longer cynical and commercialized, when in fact the gachimuchi community is a vestige of the old internet, a reminder of how things used to be before they became shit
but the sky is gray currently
yea desu gachimuchi reached a certain popularity bcuz of streamers but it existed in the earliest depths of youtube as well actually it was a nico thing but some of us knew how to navigate thatanon is gay
qrd is that there is a guy who claims that le modern internet is le bad and le old is le goodwhen confronted with the undeniable FACT that every type of content he claims to enjoy about old youtube still exists and is actively being made today, be it machinima or vlogs or whatever, with no attempts at monetization whatsoever, he moves the goalpost, like how he did now by claiming that they're "vestiges of old youtube so it doesn't count" as though proving that everything he claims to like is still being made actively somehow isn't proving what he's saying completely wrongin reality he isn't mad that the style of content that used to be all there was on youtube isnt being made, it's that it's alongside other content that he personally doesn't like, and he pretends that this new content somehow invalidates everything else
should i give up on the gsg genre
it's a no stakes situation there is nothing stopping you from playing a different video game then coming back once you feel like itstop treating everything like it's protestantism, there is no exclusivity involved
im mad when people say vlogs dont exist anymorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpc63UbLh90this channel is great
i don't think it's thati really can't blame him for wanting to give up when the last good grandi strategy game was made 16 years ago
eu5 was made last year
and it's not good
the foundation is excellentim waiting for updates
i'm afraid paradox hates money nowno more dlcs released biannually. you'll get your first dlc after 3 years and all it'll add will be mission trees
but timberborn released and it's more of a gsg than eu4
they EXPLICITLY said no mission trees for eu5they're only in the game as a framework for modders to add their own if they want to
they also said they'll be going full on mana when paradox released, because eu4 sold wellyou seriously believe them to keep their word?
i meant to say when imperator released...
>in ancient rome the tradition was that you're supposed to pay the soon to be husband for taking on the bride>in ancient near east the tradition was that the soon to be husband is supposed to pay a bride price to the parents>this leads to a lot of female infanticide in rome and virtually none in the near east>women flock to christianity in droves because it universalises a near eastern philosophy and attitude towards women wooah never thought about it that way
no one tell him about dowry
i JUST SAID in ancient rome dowry is paid by the woman's family to the man's family and in ancient near east it's the other way around what the fuck do you mean i don't know about dowry
that dowry was a near universal practice in evropa until very recently, but of course that doesn't matter, you just want to bait about the religion of the european peoples
didn't someone here state once that paradox is state-funded and technically don't rely on that many sales to survive?and then there's also theirr subscription model with games like eu4 and ck2 that even the paycucks in here feed intoassuming all of this is true, then i'd be led to assume paradox is spoiled by vacations and really has no incentive to hurry up with dlcthe parasite is guaranteed its survival, so why should it try anymore?
impressive. very nice.lets see germanic pagan's dowry.
because paradox is publicly traded and has to abide by the fiduciary duty
>that dowry was a near universal practice in evropa until very recentlyin what way is this a contradiction to what i saidi didn't say christianity flipped dowry in of itself i just said it changed attitudes towards womenin the near east they saw women positively where as in ancient rome they would just fucking kill them sometimes because they were seen as an absolute waste of resources
is that why chuds love roma so much?
> has to abide by the fiduciary dutyoh, so i guess that explains why every dlc release is shitty with bugs up the ass
in a way?chuds hate Christ's teachings and christianity is a reaction to roman society
but chuds converted to christianity eventually

numod is abandoned. there is only vanilla+ mods for vicky and ck2 now

does vanilla+ imply that eupen-malmedy will start off belgian in 1836 again?

I choose Arab and hope I get lucky enough to roll Druze as an exploit

grand strategy...
CK2 was the era where paradox worshipped the Chinese and made them a civilization of ubermenschen. Now it switched to indians and africans with their fictional 42 gorillion gdp before the Anglos arrived.
but India did have a GDP of 42 gorillion before the Anglos arrived?
And they didn´t translate even 1% of that into military power to btfo the Anglos? lmao
no because they were busy using it to kill each other firstsort of like how Europe had a GDP of 800 gorillion in 1913 but still let the Amerifats roll over them in 1917 and then again in 1944
"anglos" are a made-up concept, one group of indians magically imposed the british empire upon the rest and then convinced the rest that they were "britishers" to keep themselves on top
whatever you say, anglo
800 gorillion what? argentinian pesos?
I always found it silly how every single war in paradox games is total warlike if I'm just trying to conquer a county off of an empire, does that really necessitate us to mobilize our entire army and lead to tens of thousands dead? You see WW1 casualties over pretty small wars
>every single war in paradox games is total warnot the case in ck2
CK2 has the best war and economy. The emperor shouldn´t be the one who manages the production methods of some buildings in the most backwater province.
Ck2 war is even more stupid because of the levy system. Imagine being a king and telling your army "okay you can go home now" just to immediately rally them again because you can't declare war while levies are up Yea retinues exist but nobody solely uses them for their army
it's really easy to get to a point where you can rely purely on retinues which are capable of stomping over twice their number with overpowered tactics that mixed levies can't take advantage of.and their advantages compound via the fact that you can have them waiting on the border before declaring war and the ai is incapable of understanding that fact, unlike in other games where lining your armies up on the border results in the other side moving the bulk of their armies over to match.
what if the emperor wants to micromanage every pop

forgot to type up exactlyu what i was doingas you can see the georgians have encroached on alan land. This is not acceptable, but our alan brothers seem to be very fond of them due to a shared religion.here we see our ally asking us for help, they'll have to wait, should've asked a few days ago before the war
Here we can see a comparison between two of our sons. One is the rescue, the man who was raised by savages, you can see the stress in his hairline. The other, the son that would have lead if he was born first.

>Now it switched to indians and africans with their fictional 42 gorillion gdp before the Anglos arrived.>but India did have a GDP of 42 gorillion before the Anglos arrived?but indian economy was based on agriculture and traditional artisanal production which means that 42 gorillion gdp would be based on 10 gorillion exploited slavesisn't the implication of that very very racist?

no, i'm simply differentiating between serfdom and slavery, something which talexios grandopulous differentiates between himself
slavery is based when you do it to your own people but when you import slaves like all western nations do these days it becomes cringe

i don't get the webmmay the one who never got shitfaced to the point of vomiting cast the first stone
it's from a reality tv show that's basically a degenerate big brother the creator of the show pretends to be this high and mighty moral arbiter where he can tell artists what does and doesnt deserve to be made but then he makes a show where he records some druggies vomit for money
but doesn't it make sense when you treat it as an accelerationist freak show?for the record i don't even know what tv show you're talking about, just talking in hypotheticals
accelerationism is an uno reverse card that you can apply to any behaviour if someone says it's the opposite of what you preach, knowingly being a hypocrite is still being a hypocrite. if he actually believed that then when interacting with the wider world and not some close knit circle of accelerationists, he would be saying the opposite of what he actually believes at all times in hopes that everyone will have the worst possible behaviour imaginable
is it though?you can still say things you believe and at the same time have a freak tv show showing some of the worst things mankind has to offer in order to disillusion people
he is specifically being perscriptive thoughyou can't say "you should be making artistic depictions this way" and then do the complete opposite without being hypocritical

>The game was released on PC on 1 September 2020what the fuck
six years and they still have less features and start dates than ck2
769 is the only worthwhile start date, and the game already has a mod for it

The Georgian campaign has proven to be very worthwhile. Unfortunately, despite Jesus being a prophet and God of the Moon, it is sadly not enough for us to make use of this relic. Oh well.
g-d manichenism is just not a good religion, little flavour in game and irl it's just kind of watered down zoroastrianism with some gnostic bullshit thrown in
it's objectively not a bad religion, it has access to all the worthwhile mechanics
...thus spake zarathustra
3 start dates is enough. That's 3 different scenarios for each region, why would you need or want more? If you want to play an earlier start date, play fallen eagle, if you want to play later, play eu4
imagine in a couple years we have neo zoroastrianism like we do neo paganism
but zoroastrianism is paganism since paganism is a christian term for a non-christian religion

All philosophy is boring and gay. Why do you, as a grown man, need a proto-reddit atheist NEET who couldn't even conceive the modern world to tell you how to live your life
>a proto-reddit atheist NEETstop being so antisemitic marx's works are a valid foundation to creating a new world who cares if you spill the blood of a couple million men over it
it feels really gratifying to have a realisation at 12 years of age, live most of your life with people who are hostile towards your realisation, then read a work by someone who has some credibility put it into words so you know you're not crazyi had a beaming smile on my face when i read schopenhouer call "that may be true in theory, but it would never work in practice" a sophistry and explain why it is so.and if we disagree i will at least understand why others think the way they do.
>irl it's just kind of watered down zoroastrianism with some gnostic bullshit thrown inbrainlet detectedManichaeanism was never watered-down Zoroastrian. it was always a Christian movement first and foremost, only adopting Zoroastrian elements when it began expanding into Iran proper. it literally spawned from the Elcesaites
>only adopting Zoroastrian elements when it began expanding into Iran proper.Mani was Iranian.The cosmology is mostly christian (gnostic specifically) but the ethics are mostly Zoroastrian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noemvriana#The_Battle_of_Athens,_1916remember when england and france just invaded ellada?
The goal of the British empire was solely to figure out how to fuck over the White race as badly as possible
how does invading the capital of a brown country during a major war help achieve that goal?
logistics
now i get why they invaded iceland; it was to stage a landing in france
no it was because in case they lost britain in operation sealion they needed bases for naval invasion range so they pre emptively occupied iceland and greenland to hop
Poor Britain was forced to fuck over as many White people as possible because the evil scary Germans were fighting back after Britain declared war on them
shut up already
France and England helping the Ottomans against Russia already showed how anti-European they were.

32add to that the fact that russia never actually decolonialized, just got split into internal soviet bordersby that guy's troll logic holland used to be an indonesian country, but no longer is
let's take a step back and compromise. russia can be european on monday, wednesday, friday and sunda; turkiyv can be european on tuesday, thursday and saturday.
give sunday to both or neither so it's fair
sunday can be khazakstanthey switched to the latin alphabet they deserve a treat
that won't work because russia uses a different calendar
fuck
kazakhstan gets to be an european nation 7 days of the week because they're the asian country with the largest christian population
>turks openly call themselves europeanblack you mean
true evropeans are black because they grew up under the black sun
Turks are indeed more European than Asian but the Islamic religion makes them culturally anti-European.Using the muslim population argument against Russia is stupid as western Europe is becoming less European via mass immigration at this very moment. England,France and Germany are barely majority European if you ignore 30+ year olds.

Venice immediately attacked the Latin Empire with Genoa. Believable worlds I guess.
did venice do that to ottomans unprompted or did you help
Unprompted, they conquered Latin Empire with Genoa after the event war and left them with Constantinople and the straightcrossing in Anatolia. I no-cbed Athens to vassalize as they were liberated and used their claims to conquer the rest of their holdings. Ottomans aren't even a GP anymore kek

There it is, we are now appriciated. Do not pay attention to those wars in the bottom, 2 are tributary wars that i had to declare because they would've been called in as allies anyway and the other two are lithuanians trying to fuck with me giving me pointless busywork to worry about.Update on the family... sadly we didn't get to enjoy our time with the feral son we rescued from the savages, and news from the west is... surprusing.What do we do with this information?
the Religion of Light is unfortunately mid at best in CK2 so it's probably more beneficial to you to let the switch happenbut I will ask, Alanon, which Muslim sect appeals to you most?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin_Peak
>but I will ask, Alanon, which Muslim sect appeals to you most?in actuality or in game?The Qarmatians seem like the best pick for someone living far away from mecca since they are seemingly the only ones who object to the Hajj, IRL I would say the Ahmadijja interpretation of the Quran agrees with me the most but they also believe in some outlandish stuff like Jesus being buried in India.Oh and *looks at camera* erm, that happened *laugh track*I really need the king of Georga to like me so that a) he pays taxes b) doesn't revolt and c) the children can be brought up properly.This is how I can try to ensure his support. I can't really come up with anything better, i already gave him some money as a cornonation present.
in-game, but I suspected it would be the Qarmatians regardless. they seem far and away the strongest Muslim sect (probably in part because their mechanics were added later than any of the others)
well i was honestly looking at the situation lore-wise and not so much from a gameplay perspective, gameplay-wise it doesn't really make a difference since I doubt i would make a bid for the/a caliphate and being a horde means you can raid anyway, that's the only difference right, they can raid and don't hajj? i think soHere we can see the heir apparent, not a very fertile man, only 2 daughters so far. This reign has been so long that he's actually turning 50. Good on you man.We have very good reasons not to help in the west, they're doing fine.
all the muslims are basically the same in the gameeu4 has more difference between those, really the only difference is holy siteschristians have more differences but orthodox heresies are lacking too

Why didn't Greeks focus on capturing Western Thrace and Constantinple instead of over extending their supply lines?
the fact they managed to mess that up is impressivethey wanted to occupy ankara and end the war quickly, instead they lost one battle against irregulars and got wiped
Their borders would look silly.
they probably just would have taken constantinople and the smyrna zone, which would have made for epic borders
anglo would've been mad if their straits got taken back by force probably nonetheless entente bailed out as soon as konstantin came back

poles are whatever is convenient at the time. the ditto of races.
14If I'm looking to convert away from my starting religion to something else, I just like to pick whatever seems cool and interesting. Oftentimes I'll pick something that isn't dominant in the region. I've never considered in-game religious mechanics in my decisions; I just like to watch the struggle for primacy. Sometimes my heir ends up being of a different religion and then I'll go along with it because I rp as my character. Occasionally I've ended up in a situation where my realm is divided between two religions (e.g. Catholic and Orthodox) and my rulers fluctuate between them and maybe are tolerant or maybe try to stamp the other out depending on their traits.

>the hoi -> stellaris converter wiki page and it says it gives major powers some colonies in space.you know more than i do about that, at this pointa game of stellaris, by default, starts you with a single faction and race, which can gradually change over time if you allow xeno refugees and xeno migrants into your dominion's popsfactions themselves are based not on government-types of wealth distribution, but on ethics categorized under 'egalitarianism' vs 'authoritarianism', 'xenophobe' vs 'xenophile', 'militarist' vs 'pacifist', and 'spiritualist' vs 'materialist'

>>2365605>rome conquering scotlandthey tried so no>or irelandnot in itself because it makes sense to secure Ireland once you've secured all of Britain>arabiadepends on how far into Arabia you are talking. they historically owned the northwest, they historically tried for Yemen, and the Pirate Coast is a natural extension of Mesopotamia should they actually manage to secure it. the interior of Arabia is too far from any sea or river to make any amount of sense, and it's not a Chad expedition situation because you can just do maritime trade with relative ease.>persiadogshit meme choice of conquest but that didn't stop them from making a historical attempt at it so it's sadly fair game>does blobbing apply to colonies?depends upon the time period and continent>If I'm playing as germany but want to colonize the new world, is that blobbing?several German states attempted to historically so it's not even unreasonablehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_colonization_of_the_Americas
that doesn't work according to 48
>Chad expedition situation the what now
WHAT
ottermans lets go!!!
>Would rome conquering scotland or ireland be blobbing?rūm conquering etruria was already blobbing
grim
why didn't you ally with the hungaryans and poles against the turks?
why would the pope get involved in the internal squabbling of 3 tribes of turks?
>grimdo ottermans get permanent claims on all of evropa now
yes and poland gets +50% cavalry combat ability
I'm allied with Hungary, and I spent most of the early game focusing on getting TO/LO/Knights as subjects. Poland flipped Protestant so they're an opp. 92They haven't even gotten permaclaims on Austria or Egypt/Mesopotamia. They made a normal claim. Austria lost emperorship for a while and Ottos struck when I broke my alliance with them
>Poland flipped Protestantbelievable worlds...
Now that I think about it I should probably work on curbing the Ottermans as if they join the protestant league I think I'm just fucked.96Honestly pretty reasonable to me as I've consistantly fucked them over and taken their land all game
are protestant poles honorary germans?
00Was looking around the map and here are a couple things I thought were cool>England might fall under PU with Spain>Lancasters are still alive in Austria and Brittany while Tudors rule GB>The knights I released as a vassal and they immediately reformed into a monarchy with the de Valois dynastyFrance is papal controller atm too and we're allied so in my larp headcannon this is a favour arranged by the current pope. Believable worlds is real01I mean isn't that basically what SIlesians are?
those are still catholic
wtf what happened to the habsburgs
gone... erased to dust... atomized by turks......
if they were atomized that means they were turned into tiny droplets that will fall onto fertile soil and next year new habsburgs will spring to life
i love science
it's the white man science doeatomization of fuel is necessary for proper working of an internal coombustion engine
>if they were atomized that means>and next year new habsburgs will spring to lifea half-truth is a complete lie
no a half truth is just a half truthjust like the enemy of your enemy is not your friend but your enemy's enemy

i was willing to fight the mongols and even let them take central asia but they straight up ignored me fuck my chud life
Was just about to fight the turkish menace and France goes and declares war and takes 1k in debt in the span of like 2 months. Allies are so annoying in this game
sounds like you need my ultimate vanilla plus mod.see the problem with mongols is they are much stronger than all their neighbours due to event spawned troops, the intention being of course to enable them to blob, however they are artificially restricted by arbitrary cb limitations.and some of these limitations are removed in my ultimate vanilla plus mod.
2365763i'm thinking of granting independence to my central asian vassals to see if the mongols declare on them, 450 years in the game im too powerful for my liking anyway
also why is the borjigin coat of arms generic and not the real one?
2365765i didnt buy the coa dlc and forgor to use patrum scuta, thanks for reminding me anonheres karl

ottomans chilling with 100k troops
is there even a way for turks to spawn in vanilla ck2 if you dont pick the turk start dates?
if you leave food and garbage lying around at your house turks will spawn
he is playing vanilla, its a converted save from imperator rome.theres a gamerule for turks, same with mongols, if you enable it theyll spawn, either randomly or historically.
2365828the ottoman event doesnt exist in vanilla, i have historical invasions mod on
imperator more like chimperator
gimperator
pimperator
>he doesn't knowhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romans_in_sub-Saharan_Africa#Central_Sahara_expeditions
what did he mean by this?
I unironically think that if Rome discovered the mountains of Salt and Gold in Mali then West Africa would look very different today. The empire would still collapse but we’d end up with Romano-Mali that could survive for who knows how long.
the southern roman empire...
romanomali... what coulda bene
was that pre bantu conquests or post bantu conquests doe?if pre then the negrome would not have survived
2365847cool mega campaign idea honestly
nega campaign more like
Bantu expansion to the north finished centuries earliernot that that matters because they never expanded into West Africa regardless
that's a misconceptionthe nigger-congo is an european invention and they share the same roots as the bantu. the only non-bantu indigenous africans are the various east africans and the khoisan of the kaap
how would the bromans get an army across the sahara when they couldnt contest german forests or defend mesopotamia against the persians
they wouldn't get an army they would just get a small expedition going like cortez did in mejico or the portuguese did in indiathen once that expedition divida et impera'd all the way to the coast they would trade by bote
theres a reason there was never a trans saharan empire until the french did it by seakeep in mind the romans didnt conquer morocco or inland mauritania
>there was never a trans saharan empire until the french did it by seathat we know of
I thought it was because trans got you stoned in the Sahara until the 2000s
its funny how the romans mindbroke the greeks by just pretending they were the same civilization long enough
the "greco-roman civilization" reminds me of another similar term thrown around a lot currently, also with a hyphen...
speaking of jews, christian zionists basically admit they're not gods chosen people. such a cucked group
