Can someone explain the immortality quest to me?
I forgot to turn off magic shit, a little brown girl came to my court and taught me about immortality and whatnot.

Now I'm at the last quest, she gives me some sort of herb tea and tells me it's time to become immortal

I have three options:
>drink tea and attempt to meditate myself into immortality
>don't drink tea and attempt to meditate myself to become immortal without it
>abandon quest

Option 1 results in me dying and being reborn into a child's body. It's shit.

Option 2 just says I "get possessed by a strange spirit", the mystic leaves my court and the quest is over as far as I can tell.

I'm pretty sure I saw someone actually being immortal, what am I missing?

>not playing ironman
babby

I unified the HRE in ~1660 as Austria, even without having the Burgundian inheritance.

Restart, play ironman.
- allies:
1. Hungary (you want them to remain strong for your PU)
2. Castille/aragon (depends on starting rivals - Castille better in long run because Iberian Wedding, Aragon more useful before this),
3 Poland/Bohemia/Brandenburg (poland best to curb Ottomans, Bohemia strongest but will turn heretic on you later, Brandenburg not really useful),
4. Milan/Savoy/Liguria (useful for trade power, but mostly needed to be able to fight Venice/Papal state).

Gameplan:
- Before 1490: Keep Italy in the HRE. Annex or vassal-annex Venice and the Papal state. the event for HRE-italy has ended, release Rome or vassal-release the Papal State

Burgundian inheritance is luck based for a part, cant help too much with this
Bohemian PU is an event, so don't bother too much with it
Hungary PU should come quite quickly, 1550 at last I guess

Curb Ottomans if you have strong allies (feed hungary provinces you can't afford to core, like Wallachia etc).
Do not allow blobbing in the HRE. The more independent princes, the easier your throne is to keep, and the more income you get from it.
Make 100% sure to win the religious war in the HRE (should be quite easy most of the time, but if you're unlucky you suddenly fight this against Bohemia, Ottomans, France and Muscovy).
If you want to blob, do it outside of the HRE (or at least leave the Princes intact, do not take annex members).
Stay friendly with the electors

ideas: Influence,Diplomatic,Religious, sprinkled with military ideas of your choosing.
between 1600 and 1700: easy unified HRE

Go to the options and have the AI go to peace whenever possible turned to yes. I keep it on no until I want them to stop and then swap it when theyre like 60%+ so they end the war.

Steer the content like you steer trade, just spam m8

>>167513556
That's actually impossible too, as each developement mana only brings it up 1%, so you'd need to "develop" a province 100 times before it got bigly.

>>167514230
doing wil lupdate when peace is made

>>167514268
That's false, you will get an exceptionally increasing amount of institution mana every time you dump monarch points. Check the little book on the province screen.

I dont need to reset for changes to take affect irght

>>167514608
I dont think so. But in reality its like smashing the A button when catching a pokemon. There is no way to prove that it does anything so... It might just only work when the war is close so if youre losing one sided it might not help.

no it's around 2000 mana, which is way less than 100 times.

In a horde coop I think the oirat player developed an arid drylands province for both feudalism and renaissance and got it up to around 50-60 development.

You should ask Zombiemod for the details, but from what I remember he said, eventually, after the first wave of the dead is dealt with, some human death cultists will seek to coup certain nations turning them into theocracies in an attempt to restart the zombie apocalypse or something like that.

No, it's nothing like that at all, you fucking retard.
The East coast of England was colonised BIG LEAGUE by Saxons, Jutes and Angles, hence the name "Anglo-Saxon", today their descendents make up the majority in East Anglia, Yorkshire, Essex, Sussex and Wessex. Merica is disputable though.

The Normans were the ruling dynasty, but had nothing to do with the majority of the people. This is like saying Because Obama was black every single American is.

Sicily is a moor rape baby island, the Normans ruled there, but the people are mainly North African descended.

Yo, is .10 ticking exhaustion worth milking england dry for their last coin?

I'm Navarra, got the Frenchies to eat wars with the pope, aragon and their vassal, england and the portugese. They gave up right at the end, and signed separate peace with Aragon or something.

Now after a few white peaces and pope cash, i'm left with 2 english provinces under me, and a blockade.

I got enough for both those provinces + war reparation, but the warscore is still ticking.
I'm at 10 war exhaustion right now. Is it worth it for an extra 300 or so.

Also, castille ruler is a naive retard and is giving me money for free + some subsidie, and frenchies still love me for fucking over the english, so theyre giving me some too.

I got like, 300 cash in gifts, and +6 total subsidies.

Are there any good Victoria 2 modders here? I need some help with removing tags. Basically, I've tried to remove a tag, and I'm having issues starting a game. I can get into the country select screen just fine, but actually launching after picking a country is impossible.

I've already removed the tag itself, as well as its reference in country_colors. I've also removed all references to it in decisions and events, it doesn't have a file in history/countries, there is no reference to it anywhere in the history files in fact, not in any OOB, or anything.

Does anyone know what I might've missed?

>>167528248
You can always click on declare war and hover over things to see what influences them. You don't need to actually declare the war, you can just check things out periodically. Being in debt is one thing that stops countries from joining wars, war exhaustion is another. Attacking their rivals and such helps.

>>167528826

>>167529073
But then I have to ally the person first though and I want to avoid that so I don't get called into a defensive war and have to reject it.

Also how do I get more favor? I'm trying to get Scotland involved in my war as Portugal against Morocco because Morocco is allied with England so England can focus its army on Scotland. I don't want to get but fucked by England's ships. I no options for alliances against Morocco besides Tunis where I have to wait 20 years to unrival them and for them to unrival me since I needed 2 rivals for power projection.

>>167529076
You dont get it. You just need to initiate a war once to end the union and youve destroyed your only eastern enemy until Russia eats everything. As long as they font have Denmark or the Ottomans you have literally no worries.

That's tough. You have to be allied with someone to accrue favors and trust, which happens faster the stronger you are relative to your ally. Answering defensive calls also works, but if England declares on you Scotland is probably going to get mostly eaten. Maybe look elsewhere, or just ally Scotland in the hopes that England won't declare in the time it takes to get the necessary favors, then ditch them?

I think I will just ally with Scotland & France since they're allied with each other. Also, I unallied Castile so I can hopefully eat them with France and then hopefully take over their colonies in Mexico where my colonies are in the Caribbeans.

With my alliance with France & Scotland and hopefully Tunis, Morocco shouldn't declare war on me.

How many territories should I grab in general? I'm not too familiar with overextension.

>>167530634
If you have either France or Castille on your side you should be safe, yes. Each point of development in a province will cause you 1% overextension, so a province with 3,3,3 for a total of 9 development will cause you 9%. At 100% overextension really bad stuff happens. so don't go over that.

You should take as much land as you think you can get away with though, in order to cripple your enemy so you can take them on yourself without allies after you've cored and the truce is over.

What would be good borders for my future Wendish Empire?
Should I go up to Estonia? How far South and West?

Pic related is my one-armed, one-legged, severely injured and infirm King of Lithuania and current grandpa shortly before reforming the Romuva faith and dying of an infection mere days later.
He was a werewolf as well, but he only ever killed two women at court one of whom was a prisoner that wouldn't get ransomed, she would have ended up as a sacrifice later on anyways.

His son lost the area marked in red while inheriting it, but that's alright because we really only conquered it to take control of a holy place needed to reform our religion.
He conquered the area marked in blue and added it to the kingdom, sadly he ended up dying in the process, I think it was an infected wound with him too

Currently I am that guy's 16 year old second-born and heir, I got pretty lucky with this guy, he has 24 marshal and will make a good conqueror.
His older brother who was supposed to inherit the throne at first was inbred beyond belief, but fortunately he succumbed to his inbreeding related afflictions.

The realm is in good shape, right now I'm planning to improve the infrastructure because most of the buildings aren't very good, spread the new faith and have people like me more so that I can progress towards feudalism.
Our kingdom is surrounded by tribal village idiots and heavy knights would be very good at subjugating them

Militarily I want to start conquering into Bohemia with the goal to, at some point, become King of Poland as well and form the Wendish Empire.

They seem pretty powerful but I am confident, I would call a holy war as well but there are lots of slavs everywhere that share their religion with Bohemia

There were tiny enclaves of european colonists and their descendents that were superminorities in their countries, and the world would be moving further and further into the spread of nationalism and other ideologies that would encourage insurrection (not to mention the spread of technology that increases its effectiveness). Except for unrealistic "kill everyone and settle it from zero later" edgy fantasies, it was a stupid project unless it actually considered devolving power and hoping for the best (which would probably involve, cough cough, assimilation and miscegenation). For example, some of the strongest colonial populations (and within the outlined map's projections) were the pied noirs in French Algeria, and they were less than 10% of the population - and even assuming no fighting, this number would've quickly decreased as the population was booming.

The Elbe would make a nice natural border but with the game wanting you to secure beyond that I would probably try to secure both banks completely and border up to whatever HRE thing pops up in central Europe or leave those two provinces and border on the river

4chan nazis are hilarious. Bunch of fat, useless, unemployed autistic schlubs who fap to anime, traps and videogames. This place has had an obsession with incest and pedophilia for over a fucking decade. Nothing but gas chamber fodder in what they like to claim is utopia.

Is this more marxist buzz words? You cant just make things up, private and personal property are the same thing, and the whole point of communism is destroying the concept of property. Everything is owned by the commune.

This one lefty/pol/ lad who's been shitting up yhe thread for the last month since he came over from /r/paradoxplaza is really sad. Can't he just go back there? It's literally in their rules that they'll ban you for saying things that annoy him, so wouldn't the nigger be happier there?

this

>>167544859
I'm not a communist, but this is just objectively wrong. Communist theory is about control of the means of production (either by the state or by worker councils depending on your brand of communism). You could buy a car in the Soviet Union. You can own a small business in Cuba.

Then why did the soviets take all the food and redistribute it? If you made it, its your personal property, or private property because you own it,but they took it anyway. Clearly you own nothing, its all owned by the state and they let you use/eat it because you need it.

Theres a reason the communist government is portrayed as you have 2 cows, you give them to the government and they give you some milk. You dont own anything. You are owned by the state just like everything else and they feed you when they need you.

>>167545535
The ussr was socialist it's completely different. Socialism has a state and is a planned economy. Unfortunately many socialist states became Stalinist because of stalin
The product of you labour isn't your personal property your house, car, food etc are your personal property. Private property are things used to make capital eg factories but we want them to be owned by the workers

If I owned animals they would take them. If I owned a factory they would take it. My personal property that me or my ansestors bought with money we worked for. And yes it as communist, every time communism fails you cant just say it wasnt real communism. There is a reason communism is a joke

Because the capitalist steals the fruits of your labour while doing little to no work himself basically it's exploration. It's even worse in third world countries
