For them to have taken that photo, wouldn't they have to pose like that for about a minute?

Does pdx let people buy dlc as a gift for you? I think I can get my sister to buy me cossacks. She's a normie and insists on getting me a present and doesn't understand that I don't care about anything so I figured a cheap 15 dollar way out of buying anything expensive would be good for her.

>>123948587
Luckily their faces were already stuck that way since they were 7 or so.

Their mothers warned them

>>123948868
Why would you give the parajews any amount of money

Does cossacks even exist yet? I'm not seeing it onsteam store.

>>123949093
I wouldnt, but she won't give me money and I don't really want her to get me something useless like fallout 4 or call of duty by mistake

>>123949097

So lads, I need your help. How do I partition this Africa in a gentlemanly manner?
Keep in mind that me (Germanium) and me mates Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, USA and Japan won a Great War against UK and Russia. I'm also willing to do major concessions to my allies since I'm planning on turning all my colonies into states this playthrough.

>>123950103
5 and a half

>>123950778
holy shit, can those keks just release it when it's the 1st of december for like most of the world?

HPM: did you fix the thing where Russia starts the game with 10 or 15 brigades that are backed by about 100 soldier pops (in total) from a couple provinces in Alaska and Siberia? Ottomans have a similar problem but it's only a few brigades for them.

>>123950684
Keep Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia.

Black Ice is fucking shit
I'm so sorry I doubted you /gsg/, I've been proven once again that even in the middle of all the shitposts 4chan is always right, not matter what it's about

>>123950684

Hey HPM guy, did you ever change your mind about the Liberia/USA POP exchange decision? Would be sweet.

Yeah, that's what I was planning on doing. But what should I do about Namibia, British Nigeria and West Afrika?
>>123951207
Why are you so rude, lad?

>>123951610
Because you're not consistently regulating Africa's borders.

Objectively wrong way of playing.

>>123951693
But that's what I'm doing right now. I went on a colonialism blobbing spree, I give you that. But only with the intent to fix it after the first Great War.

>>123951693
Oh, and since you're so experienced with cleaning up Africa could you help me? I would mean

No matter how you look at it the 1st of December is RIGHT NOW and the expansion still isn't available on the Steam store, SHIT it's not even displayed currently.

>>123952481
speaking of Charlemagne why did the pope crown him the HRE on christmas in 800?

>>123951610
Honestly I'd allow Britain to have South Africa(the question mark area plus Orange and Transvaal); contain them there. Liberate India.

>>123952353

>>123952589
For symbolic purposes?

>>123952596
No, I already said my main point of this playtgrough is turning my colonies into states, but I do agree about South Africa.
What should I do about Nigeria? Just clean up the borders with keeping the populations and RGOs about equal?

is HPM guy kill?

>>123952839
Yes, he was shot in the US because he's Syrian.

>>123952802
Clean it up. Give British Nigeria to Netherlands if possible.

>>123953153

that was interesting I guess but I wish I got an event or something

I beat England and regained all of India but didn't receive any fanfare or anything and all of the provinces are colonies which I can't turn into states.

Why is it so hard to maintain de jure borders in ck2? Even with viceroyalties,the counties end up going from one duchy to another.

it's kinda historical, I mean look at where saxony was pre 1000 ad and where it is now

"proper" frisia would include territories up to oldenburg and that one island, helgoland it's called

meanwhile "proper" french gallia would include parts of wallonia and the jersey islands, but not for example nice and large parts of former occitania and toulouse

lots of other examples, persia should include large parts of turkmenistan, northern part of austria was always slavic while western tidbits of czechia were always german

>>123957152
I'll make my case:

incas were great in administration even if they weren't so good at warfare (compared to the spaniards).

building rock slab roads, collecting taxes, ming-like bureaucracy, byzantine-like city planning, innovation in agriculture, shinto-like cult of emperor and hierarchical organisation

of course the natives that were left that remembered the rule of the incas said it wasn't all fine and dandy, but that's what the non-roman italians said too, and everyone remembers the roman empire for the good parts!

if it were up to me, I'd join peru, ecuador, bolivia and chile (maybe only certain parts), even though the local citizens don't like each other too much, under the japanese constitution, but make the emperor's seat vacant. nah maybe that's too complicated

thinking maybe make "the people" the honorary emperor of the country (without rights tied to the emperorship) and the head of state would be the prime minister

do you think it would work?

I started an Austria game. It's 1848 and I've gained Prussian Upper Silesia, Bosnia and Northern Serbia so far. I just don't feel like it's right. It's the wrong blob somehow. What borders should I aim for? I was thinking Baden, Wurttemberg, Franken, Upper Bavaria, Saxony and the rest of Silesia if I were to remain KuK/Austria. I don't even know where to blob if I become the Danubian Federation as I want sensible borders but at the same time don't want to have other countries occupying accepted pops. What do?

That's because they wanted to make it not retarded like in vicky tho.

Unless you thought BRITISH OTTOMAN EMPIRE is acceptable.

>>123964129
I know you're being sarcastic, but that's part of the free features.

Free features
-Revanchism: allowing a nation to survive a loss and live to fight another day
-A random New World update: requires Conquest of Paradise
-Updated nation designer
-Victory cards: another way to gain score in a game
-New areas and regions which give a better naming scheme for conquered lands

Paid/Expansion Features:
-New diplomatic options: let the world know what you think of your neighbours by setting a public attitude to foreign powers.
-Tell the world what you want: designate neighbouring provinces as "places of interest", build trust with other nations, and entice allies with the promise of land for their support.
-Tengri: Tengrism is now a syncretic faith, allowing it to tolerate certain secondary religions as if it were a national faith.
-Horde unity and razing: nomadic nations now must pay attention to the horde unity of their tribes – a unity that can only be maintained by the occasional pillaging.
-Improved culture changes: you can now restore a previous culture to a converted province, or convert a province you hold to a culture that is not your own.
-Native policies: set your policy for colonial encounters with natives. Are you focused on quick subjugation, peaceful growth or trading advantages?
-Improved espionage: new spy actions allow you to study the technology of more advanced countries and prod your rivals' subjects towards independence.
-New diplomatic feedback: select provinces of interest, manage opinions, and a new trust and favors mechanic.

So you pay for:
-Finally making spies slightly less useless
-Updates to dead religion
-A Horde meme, though razing makes a bit sense
-Being able to tell the AI what you're doing/want to do
-Culture memes
-Native memes

its an outrageous price, and I have to wonder how many potential customers are put off by seeing this price tag. I realize you don't need all the DLC, but I can't be the only one who's bothered about not playing a game with all its features when they're right there.

They got me in just to work on map tiles and province names. For my part, I mostly did a sincere mix of faux-Indian names and wordplay stuff, like the already-mentioned Gitgud alongside Hutananni, Cachmiefyucan, the Huup Sea and the Dai Sea and such.

Also added in a few Burroughs names from Barsoom, and Qwghlm from Nea Stephenson's works.


Some of the map tiles are literally nothing more than random fragments of actual places stitched together.

Nice, though one thing I want to know, any idea how many provinces you're gonna get usually?

lad have you ever heard of a joke or humour?

>>123967886
>can I just dump it into my steam EU4 folder, and launch it through steam
Yes.
A lot of Steam games with DLCs that load like mods work like this, you won't get banned, there's no way they can even find out unless they compare achievements for stuff that you can only get in a DLC and it doesn't result purchased on your account but really who cares.

>Nice, though one thing I want to know, any idea how many provinces you're gonna get usually?

It varies a lot from generated map to generated map, desu. Some of the 'continent' tiles are fuckhuge things, while some intentionally take up lots of space without peppering it all with massive land blobs. My few continent tiles ended up with maybe 400-600 land provinces apiece.

I haven't ever done a full count, but I'd suspect the total number of land provs in RNW versus vanilla would be somewhat close. Yeah, Random New World tends to be more island-y compared to the solid masses of North and South America, but remember that the RNW generator also covers a fair chunk of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, so you'll have islands peppering a much wider area than just exactly where the Americas are. Add them all up and I think it might come up to something comparable to vanilla for the same area.

>>123967884
The shittiest attitude is when some retard read one random book in a field he know little about and then can't argument his point or back it up in any way except "read this book lel".

>>123968412
sounds good, I wish that you could pick if you wanted to have a big landmass tho.

The islandy ones aren't as good in my humble opinion. Tho that "tile" actually does look like it would actually be really cool to run into. I'll have to give RNW a few spins to really get a feel for if I like it or not. But the new system has ease of improvement built in so it should be pretty trivial for them to respond to feedback.
