i played some eu4 again because of you guys but i just did prubia again instead of something new
burgergeld
its called grundsicherung now

now women get to go to university to be indoctrinated and learn about lgbtq+ and socialism that is just so hecking wholesome oh my science
aaaahhhhh fuck factorio is so much fun
i like to pretend that the inserters and flying robots and machinegun turrets are my pops
what would it take for you to admit eu5 is good
It would need to be a good game. Maybe a finished one.
can you be more specific
more runescape less cookie clicker
are you referring to important options being buried below 20 different menus like ck2? that still hasn't been fixed?
>important options being buried below 20 different menus like ck2what important option is buried below 20 different menus in ck2?
>>2367998Buy me a computer capable of running it
>>2368012You can navigate to every single tab in the CK2 with three mouse clicks, usually less. Imagine being too dumb to open two tabs
>i'm smarterer than you because i LOVE opening useless tabsdon't drown in your drool mango
name a single game ever that doesnt use nested tabs
pong
it's crazy how much paradox has regressed from liqqy 2in it not only are all the important information and actions always 1 (one) click away and the really indepth info 2 (two) clicks away, but also you have 90% of the really important info always shown on the top level ui in the top barwhich is why liqqy screenshots are always a treat because you can make fun of a shit player even if he just shows you the map (unless he crops but then you make fun of him for cropping)
it's not crazy considering thats the design they're going forthey want more complex games with more complex mechanics (read: more numbers) and displaying all that at a glance is impossibleold pdx games were really shallow mechanics wise because they were simple map painters which isnt the case anymore for their new games
no what they're going for is the illusion of complexity, as clearly evidenced by eu4, whilst being less simulationaistically involved than liqqy
i haven't looked in depth at eu5 systems but isnt it leaning heavily towards a more simulationist approach to strategy games?043civ 7 to its detriment
it is a step in the right direction, that's for surewe'll see how good it is when it's finished in 10 years
goys help me pick me next idea group, idk what to take. i have influence/quality/religious right now109 yeah it still need more time in the oven, but i'm cautiously optimistic about it
abandon all idea groups and take innovative/offensive/espionage
you seem to be struggling to defeat your enemies and have a surplus of sword mana so take offensive
missions in eu4 are the reason the game survived past 2019, the main illusion here is the illusion of storyat the same time this is why eu 5 flopped. you cant set up proper satelite states, the ai straight up doesnt do it and just blobs blobbily. any sense of realism is deleted with mass assimilation and the mission driven gameplay diversity illusion isnt in the game at alleu5 is like eu3 expect you dont get to play the main game because theres all these mechanics wasting your time and cpu usage
112if your eco is shit go trade, if it's passable go offensiveif you dont need a better army either go divine
divine is SHITand it doesn't even have any good policies coupled with the garbage he already picked
thats not the point, it's a supplement idea group that does a bit of everythingthe unrest and dev cost would help him here and the dmg buffs are actually pretty good if you drill
>offensive policiesOk I think I've narrowed it down to Offensive or Economic. Trade always feel kind of boring to me. I like Economic's policies and ideas better but we're already behind on Admin. 129Honestly you've convinced me to at least consider Divine as well, I'll let you guys know what I pick
>eco policies
ugh.... influence>quality>religious>divine... going for the challenge run of only picking the worst idea groups i see
Do you guys know if I diploannex Jerusalem to get Malta back if the Great Project loses a level? I know if I seize the land back through subject interactions it will go down to level 1.
it will not lose lvl
>Province modifiers:>Local defensiveness.png +50% Local defensiveness>Hostile attrition.png +1 Attrition for enemies>Hostile disembark time.png +200% Hostile disembark time>Global modifiers:>War score cost vs other religions −15% War score cost vs other religionsliterally a waste of 8500 ducats
147 I got fucking scammed. I can't tell if I'm missing something but the holy order is only available if you're Spanish culture it seems when I look on the wiki. Oh well.>Order of San Juaneu4.paradoxwikis.com/Local_organization#Christian_orders148I mean WS cost vs other religions seems decent to me, especially stacked with the age ability in current age
warscore cost reductions are baityou will just be bottlenecked by coring/integrating vassals/subject loyalty instead of warscore available to youdon't get me wrong, ceteris paribus, it is better to have warscore cost reduction than to not have it as it will let you do an equivalent of a 100% warscore peace deal without having to actually get to 100% warscore and the ai gets really obstinate at 100% warscore peace proposals, but there are better monuments to spend that gold onor then again are there better monuments in italy even? from what i remember they were all underwhelming
this one seems like a great way of improving your navy without spending a single mana pointyou can tell this is a late dlc addition made by interns by how amateurish and straightforwardly overpowered it is
>Ottomans declared before I could vassalizeFuck my life150/152Saint Peter's Basilica is good imo and the one in Napoli for the reform progress growth is ok if you start as Naples as they have a mission to improve it so you can get it to level 3 quickly
I think this might actually be a good thing as it's a chance to weaken Ottos before the League War and it seems I got lucky with them getting the serfdom event
why is your professionalism so low? were you slacking?
I've been constantly at war or in debt so I haven't really had the chance to build it up
wtf why is your net income negative with lvl 1 advisors????????
I'm 40 over forcelimit as this is essentially a 1v1 against the Turks
why? it's not like it's necessary since you're limited by combat width
They've got 270k in the field to my 112 base forcelimit, and I don't want them annexing Jerusalem before I vassalize them. I also want to be able to defend Egypt while at the same time trying to push in either Balkans or Anatolia or defending Italy
Oh and as I'm not war leader I have to rely on Jerusalem ai for the peace deal so I want at minimum more than -9 warscore overall so they can't take land from Jerusalem
seems like 4 stacks of 30k would suffice, two per frontoh right, i forgot you don't have inno offensive so your armies are not only made of paper but also can't siege for shitby this point in the game my armies are so strong the enemy prefers to hide their troops instead of engaging me
why is your vassal the war leader??????????????????????????????????????????
see 154
but you conquered that land from ottermans half a century ago, why are they indep now?
When you click "declare kingdom of jersualem" it makes them independant and gives them a bunch of cores and unique crusader state government reform. I was about to vassalize and got the Malta transfer event with them for some reason which put them at -6 reasons to become my vassals. Ottos declared immediately after that
>MASSIVE naval victory in the Aegean
>1st battle of the war is in defense of the port of Ragusa
Good start
Lmao gottem
Bleeding a shit ton of money to maintain this large of an army but I think we should be fine. If this war goes well enough I might rethink our alliance with France, as we may no longer need their protection
Religious League fired, I wasn't called in but Ottomans were. Hopefully I get called in after this war ends.
Now that I think about it Muscovy is bankrupt, I'm fighting Ottomans already and I just dumpstered GB not too long ago. I think the Catholics have this in the bag. Going to take advantage of this to decalre on Venice, they're guarantueed by the Ottomans who I'm already fighting and Poland should be busy fighting the League
>You can navigate to every single tab in the CK2 with three mouse clicks, usually less. Imagine being too dumb to open two tabsthis the same case for eu5 though

do not discuss porn here. /gsg/ is a devoutly Protestant general.
>stop playing fun blobbing simulatorwhy? what would you recommend over that? because i'm not going to play shittoria 2
The war with the Ottomans is almost over, our push into Anatolia from Egypt was blunted but it required almost the entire Ottoman army moving across the straight, leaving the Balkans relatively undefended. 333k losses and they never dipped below 100k manpower btw. I think that once Jerusalem makes peace they will be called into my war against Venice, which should allow us to cripple them even further. I really thought this war would be a bit more of a struggle but it seems that the morale difference from the event they got is just too big.
Meanwhile the League War rages on, I think the wars against Muscovy and GB as well as this one against the Ottomans really had a massive impact. Muscovy went bankrupt and I destroyed the British navy right before the League fired.
>Economy and religious map of EuropeThe economy has somewhat stabilized and I'm slowly reducing the size of our army back down to forcelimit. I killed 2 protestant and a reformed center of reformation and have been force-converting when possible. It seems our efforts have been paying off
Decent casualty ratio for a 5-1 army size difference
>Peace deal
bigly hungary
Catholics won, Hungary grows larger
As a hobby in the last months i decide to add to my CK2 HIP mods some historical accurate minor cultures lacking both in the base game and in the mod.For example, as you can see in the pic, i added the Muladi/Mullawadi (native iberian muslim converters) culture distinti from the Andalusian One.Which other minor/obscure historical culture can i add? For the moment i included:>Pontic, Cappadocian, Tsakonian and Griko culture to split the greek blob>Galindians>Gallo culture in France>Melingoi (Peloponnesian slavs)>Syriacs (western assyrians) and Melkites (syriacs/greeks mix)>Azeri (late middle ages melting pot turkish culture)>Scots (lade middle ages melting pot english culture)>German prussians (late middle ages melting point for both low german or norse cultures in Prussia)
karakalpaks
>>2368652I searched and they pretty much didnt existed as a separate people before the 16th Century. Only cultures accurate to the medieval timeframe
cool it with the antihoholism
>>2368657I considered ukrainians too to split the large russian blob. But couldnt find proofs of a separate ukrainian identity/culture existing before modern times (kek), so i didnt add them
>>2368446Fuck off, Johan, your new game sucks balls
it's odd to me how paradox just pretended old frisians just magically turned into dutch people after the frankish conquest lilke that makes any sense
that's not the first time they pulled that stunt in a memegamethere was that instance with them turning the irish migrant waves into brazilians
>>2368122>theres all these mechanics wasting your time and cpu usagemad, ESL? maybe candy crush is more your speed
Kiev
it's knib chud
>GalloWhy stop there? Even the Norman culture ceases to exist on the map on any start date from the turn of the 11th century onwards, leaving a huge "Francique" culture blob over half of the modern country + Belgium. The whole thing should be a mosaic of langues d'oil. It would help the chronic French stability I always find in hip games, too.Similarly, "Rusisku" is one culture the entire game, from Ladoga to Szerencs, when it should exist only around Kiev and be a late-game melting pot culture of Ilmenian, Radimich, Dregovich, Volhynian, Severian, Krivich and White Croat.But White Croats ruled by a West Slav or Magyar should melting pot with Moravian in de jure Hungary to Slovak.My only other complaint is that all of Central and Upper Germany magically becomes Deutsch in 1170 for no particular reason.
Oh yeah the other one that makes no sense is "Angelcynn" and "Englisc" existing contemporaneously - despite one being the demonym and the other being the language they spoke - with the latter seemingly representing a Norse cultural influence for whatever reason. Then in 1100 the entire country magically becomes "English".It doesn't make any sense, but I wouldn't mind so much if Englisc slowly spreads down to Middlesex in the late 12th/early 13th century, then the province becomes English and it radiates out from there. That would simulate the east midlands dialect becoming the standard form of English. But I don't think the game can even do that.
>Papal qualityDivine ideas OP??
only 400 in debt. balkan pops strong
>>2368446why was this post deleted?
it's over for the turk. second ottoman war was a complete wipe on our side. somehow our mamluk "friends" managed to get demolished by the 20k strong remnant turkish army and white peaced so we couldnt take all we wanted
i don't get ityou're playing as a gypsy just to form an ersatz byzantium, instead of striving to form some sort of a rumania
we still need to fight polen and hungary to form romania and get the achievement both have fat alliance blocks + france as dof
ok but what's ur goal?
vlachs are the true romans zakopane is the third rome
is that the birthplace of codreanu?
i just set out to do the achievement but since france is cockblocking me i'll just reclaim eastern romewe're fighting wars against the muslims until we're strong enough to take on france.
>>2369094Just ally them and make them reduce opinion of hungary and then attack them
first time playing, what special projects should I focus on?
>>2369106SH arty is good if you have the natural resourcesFlame tank is really good because you can make a cheap template that doesn't impact the base bonuses that the support company gives

>>2369128Spain's special mechanic to make the civil war last longer.
blame germany, they're the ones that made it illegal for a resident to view a part of their history in media while being present in their country
romanian empire is coming along nicely
I am offering MP to the good fellows of vst, you can say the n word and no discord bullshit
rome is back
Rhomania even. Interesting they use tricolor as default. I think besides Romania, only Netherlands do it as a non-revolutionary country
i've been playing civ 6, it's pretty fun so far but i can see it becoming too easy maybe, what's the difficulty ppl usually recommend? where ai doesn't cheat to shit and back
ai doesnt cheat it just gets better start and more buffs the higher you go. theres no such thing as a more difficult ai
91germany still has its own extra-censored version of the game. it's purely developer cowardice.
age of empires 2 has a more difficult ai according to the higher the difficulty you choose

how hard is it to manually create an eu4 mod?my hard drive fucking exploded and i lost my imperator to ck2 save
a mod or just a custom start?the latter is easy
>>2369402Modding is a time sink especially if your not familiar with the syntax.
last gen paradox modding is almost all just simple scripts unless you want to redo the map. tedious more than anything
I'll probably be publishing a CK3 mod I've been working on in the next few weeks. Outside of Steam and Nexus is there anywhere else I should post it?
>>2369471Will all this ever get enough flavor?>inb4 congo and mesoamerica announced
you publish it on steam then make a post on reddit

>Ottoman century of humiliationHow fares the campaign anons?
2369795I'm still thinking of what to do to evropa, ill prob remove Kanem-Bornu's remaining lands and deal with mainland england/scotland/britannia, maybe add a few christian tags in north africa/italy so the reformation actually happens
you know you could have avoided all of this if you just... if you had JUST set exclave independence to total.do you feel bad about that?
lol
I don't think I've ever seen this event before. Neat.
>>2369931https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/New_Court_Flavor_Events#A_Departure_of_ConscienceSeems like you can only get it within 360 days of declaring a religious war on someone who shares a religion with one of your advisors. That feels like a trigger that's somehow both common and very situational
when was the last time you declared a religious war in eu4? especially when you consider the gorillion permaclaims you get from mission trees
yesterdaydevs vvlt cb gives less ae than conquest
it doesn't it just gives reduced cost for taking provinces and no unjustified demands for provinces you don't have claims on. taking land from different religions gives less ae with people who aren't that religion tho
i can't remember the last time i got coalitioned in eu4inno-espionage-offensive gives you 3 extra diplomats which coupled with always staying at 100 prestige give you so much improved relations ae decays very fast. and since in the early game you're much better off blobbing with vassals reconquest is even less aemeanhuwhile deus vult is locked behind a shit idea group that was made obsolete with all these meme decisions and state edicts that give you missionary strength
