Too many fucking options in Mayo and I don't know what to do. Put together a bunch of shit for votes.

If anybody has any other suggestions I'd be willing to hear them too. Keep in mind I've played England (with PU and eventual integration with France), Byzantium, and Russia already.

In EU4 I switched to Bavaria and united the hungarian peoples of central europe

Nah, our manpower gain is huge so its really hard to lose control over stuff like that.
The biggest rebellion was 16k syrian stack in Aleppo bu the rest of them were just free army tradition for me
Also I only now realized that you cant annex capital (even though I had core on it) so I only took one shitty province and broke their treaties.

Playing as a potato nigger in CK2 is not so easy anymore. Making a claim on a neighboring county takes decades, I am in 1100 already and the fucking faggot chancellor hasn't been able to make a single claim, eventhough the annual chance is 10%(so it should have taken around 10 years, but at least 30 have passed)

Also you can't get claims by marrying the families of other Earls because they won't marry you for 'Political reasons'

And I can't even revoke my vassal titles to get more counties because 1. Revoking titles is outlawed 2. Plotting against them is pointless because nobody wants to cooperate.

>>171746846
Try it before you buy it is some friendly advice. Sorry but I don't know about the Cadet Edition.

I did pirate it before, unable to find a complete version right now so I might as well just buy it this time around.

So like the entirety of human history then? My mistake, IRL it was not always mindless, sometimes the blobbing had imaginative reasons backing it up. Either way, I'm interested in playing it now for your words on it make it sound ultra-realistic.

>>171749770
>every single time someone blobbed irl he got fucked some way sooner or later
Mostly it tended to be later. Ottomans, British, Spanish, French, Arabs, Chinks and the world champions of mindless blobbing, the Russians.

>it's just too easy to blob in vidya games
I agree but what would be a gameplay mechanic to shut that down? More rebels and separatists? You would quickly get to the point where the expansion path gets too punitive.

>>171749860
i've never played with Sunset on but i just redownloaded CK2 after a long time and i didn't play monks&shit yet i don't even know what's it about[/s], what's so bad about it?

>>171749770
that's why empires like GB, Ottomans, or even Russia lasted (or still last) hundreds or years right?

>>171749229
>You can't do that shit in EU4
You can't have map mods in eu4 or you can have nice borders?

>>171749925
>>171749940
ottomans and arabs blobbed on sandniggers and slavs without real opponents for the most part tbqh, british, french and spanish conquered some shitheads living in tents n shiet
russia just claimed siberia and conquered smaller slav and arab nations
and i was talking about blobs like 3rd reich, napoleon's france, HRE, shit like that

and i don't really think there's any mechanic that won't buttfuck the players other than playing with other players which sucks 90% of the time cuz people are mostly dipshits with no regards to diplomacy, clean borders and autism

>>171749929
Horrifically op devil worshipers. Can kidnap and ransom anyone for a pittance as well as being able to make devil spawn children on command. No downsides to being a devil worshiper either. Thankfully they added a game rule to disable it though so it's not too bad if you just do that. But like 70% of the dlc content is satanism, because all but one of the other societies are basically copy pastes.

>>171749724
Imo you shouldn't play the visigoths, central euro hungarians or the persians.

Probably not byzantium either.

What's britain?
The poland looking thing maybe.
Something betweeen purple india and japan maybe.

I don't know what's going on in north america.

>>171750168
There's revolts but the problem is they're too damn 'stiff'. If we get a V3 (and if it isn't shit) it should be more dynamic. Right now if a bunch of commies siege London they can take over the entire British Empire like nothing. In reality it should result in something like the Paris Commune and the rest of the British government reorganises somewhere else to deal with the revolt. If it fails to handle the Isles, then commies own the British Isles but the colonies split off either as independent or some still recognising the monarch.

Same with Russia or even France, where the revolution didn't involve a bunch of guys getting drunk and storming Paris. Unrest should be more dynamic.

>>171750164
wait, did they add mana?
so i guess i should just disable this shit off cuz it's even worse than memecoalitions?

>>171750205
Britain is the holy roman empire, the last remnant of it after Bavaria ate it all and left it
The polish thingy is a hungarian state that survived the Bavaric conquests and the zoroastrian conquests.

The shit between india and japan are China and it's vassals, struggling against Persia slowly munching on them

Indonasian countries are actually civilized so that might be interesting. They are mostly oriented towards Persia, and got civilized trough their influence

South America is colonized by the goths, the east coast is a clusterfuck of britbongs and goths, while the states are still full of injuns
california and alaska are chinese colonies.

Also, Iceland is independant.

Would a restoration of scandinavia with Swedish-Hungarians be interesting?


Also the hungarian mainland used to be russia but the persians drew them further and further west as they took their land

>>171750664
I believe that's an option, so yes

>>171750691
Is that an actual Britain in exile in North America? Under what dynasty is it and the HRE?

>>171750694

>>171750763
It adds English and German faces
It adds some variety

>>171750597
yeah, that'd be great but it's not that easy to implement properly i suppose

the funny thing is that revolts and shit would work if every single country or rebel group would be governed by some player, but who the fuck wants to play as a fucking nigerian nationalists

>>171750731
I'd have to check if it's a britain in exile. I don't think it is.

I can't remember the dynasty, I know it's a dynasty of irish origin which are now anglo-saxons.

Bavaria is ran by the anglo saxon elite that cover 20% of the population, since they invaded from the mainland at around the year 800. Bavaria is a multiethnic clusterfuck of a minority of anglos, germans, and a lot of franks, french and Hungarians.

How should the hungarians not having a nation play out, considering they'd make up alone about 30% of europes population?

Well, that's the problem with trying to use the pop culture mechanic to simulate race. Rural black culture and rural white culture are already basically the same thing in the US. Urban black culture is as different from rural black culture as urban white culture is.
I think the only reasonable way to interpret it is like Chinese people "assimilating" to British culture in Hong Kong. Obviously they aren't becoming "british" in an ethnic sense, but rather they would be adopting the culture somewhat like a second-generation "westernized" Chinese immigrant.

I have no idea what "Afro-American culture" would look like in a big country where they were the majority and held the power, because so much of the "Afro-American identity" today and historically is based on seeing themselves as an oppressed minority, but I'm imagining it in the same way a Chinese person or an Indian person can move to England and see their children learn to speak with an English accent, prefer British food and entertainment, etc.

>You have to admit it though that Byzantines were the best at pretending to be Roman.
The real source of confusion on this one is that the Roman Empire had ceased to be "Roman" in character long before 476 AD. By the third century the "Roman" army, including the Praetorian guard, was almost entirely made up of Germanic mercenaries, and the Emperors were all Illyrian military officers of peasant birth.
Diocletian, whose actual given name was the Greek form "Diocles," tried to breathe a little life into things by setting up what was essentially a feudal system (not at all similar to the government of the Roman Empire in its golden age), and the Byzantine empire was a reasonable continuation of that.

>>171766237
Your mental gymnastics is superior to mine.

In truth though, Rome abandoned Greece the moment Geiserik decided he was moving in so he could 'borrow' all of Rome's stuff.

You don't HAVE to keep it at 3 but you get bonuses for doing so. Your provinces will develop more easily for example. More stability is always better. That being said the +2 that guy has is fine enough, he's not going to suffer some huge catastrophe because it isn't +3.

>>171768326
Surprisingly no, it isn't. Even the comet event is re-tooled so that it has a longer MTTH and it only has a 25% chance to lower stability. Also you can get free stability from some events like "trust your neighbor" or an event that fires if you have high prestige and are at peace for an extended period.

Well, they can assimilate into Afro-Caribenos and such. I don't see it as them becoming black, I sort of see it as them bleaching the "local" ethnicities.
