1st for purge of shitposting by a new thread.

I bet anyone who talks shit about the "complex" gsg's can't even understand HoI's UI.

anyone rolled atlantis out in RNW yet? Or the lostatsea crusaders, which I assume is supposed to be catholic

I just keep seeing yingzhao and vinland.

Today it's our sad duty to inform you that it has been decided to cancel the game "East vs West". We at Paradox Interactive have the utmost respect for BL Logic and this is not a decision that has been taken lightly—quite the contrary—but ultimately we are a publisher and our actions and decisions must reflect that.

As the project has been severly delayed we dont think that open beta / early acccess could, within our desired timeline, meet the set criteria.

It has been a journey of ups and downs since we started the development of East Vs West back in May 2011. We wish each other nothing but the best with future endeavors.

We also would like to thank the developers for their hard work and their tremendous effort, as well as the fans for their long term commitment and their never ending support.
Please note that any comments about this happening due to HOI4 will be considered as trolling, and acted upon as such!
(this assumption is just plain silly. I won't even bother with going into more details about that)


Why did it have to happen GSG

>>123982557
Because jews.

>>123982557
You can play the leak with the mod that makes it a bit better.

Hm, this is a nice little thing. (It also happens if there's no armies in a province yet but armies from warring countries are incoming)

Do I need to rerun the mod enabler with the new DLC if I ran it before? on a legit steam copy.

>>123983139
Hol up, can I just buy just the base game and play with the mods alright?

>EvW announced in Oct 2012, cancelled March 2014 this breaks down to 29 months from announcement to cancellation all while being restricted by an NDA which paradox had to approve whenever the devs said anything about the game

>Hoi4 announced January 2014 with no completion date set, so far they have had 23 months of dev time, devs choosing to stay silent on almost everything

if HOI4 does not get released in 6 more months I will be severely disappointed and pissed off beyond all limits.

>>123983139
I didn't and it's working fine

What does the expansion actually add that is not in the update?

>>123983412
How does it works exactly? Can I play the game while logged on Steam?

Hey archive dude, the DLC is there, but will it work? The patch is not uploaded yet.

HELP.

I'm playing my very first game of EU3 as Austria from 1399 and it gave me a quest to take over parts of Milan but they like me and want to be in an alliance with me and also they're in the HRE like me (does this matter or is there no problem to fight other HRE members?) and allied with Hungary.
Should i fight them or do something else?

>>123984934
Not him but I'm using it now. I updated with steam and then copied over the dlc and re ran the activator.

LMAO Eu4 is shit, I forgot but 3 minute of playing helped me remember.

I hope that's not a big buff because that's retarded.

Anyone tried the muv luv mod? Unfortunately, it's only in moonrunes, but someone plans on translating it when the VN gets released in English

To install: Download the DH files in order from top to bottom. But download the "Map" file before the final patch.

Someone managed to port it to 1.04 on the paradox forum

Copy the files to Darkest Hour/mods/muv luv mod/ db and its good to go.

Attack the Soviet Union

there is a torrent of new eu4(also sabaton dlc) on kickass

>>123988335
Easy as piss

When you improve relations or get improved upon, you get half of what you send.
(makes cozying up easy)

You can get favors easy by giving provinces away that you don't want now and then they'll join literally all your wars because the x-year penalty for offensive wars is gone

You can tell what the AI wants easier and its easier to maneuver politically

Only problem is rebels as you can see>>123986893

But if you're human that's almost no issue
Also you can deal with estates better than the ai I bet

>>123988372
Prime position to take Stalingrad lad. Two fronts against the Soviets. What could go wrong :^)

>>123988497
This would pull the Axis into that war like one year early. At first it sounded like a HORRIBLE idea but the Soviets just barely started mobilizing.

>>123987129
It's one of the first results in google images for "1937 europe map"

Got screens?

How can you justify the same points being used for: Naval technology, peace deals, converting culture, reducing the nations war weariness and having too many allies? Or the same points being used to supress rebels, scorch the earth, kill natives, raise taxes during a war and upgrade your cannons?

>>123989358
It's a video game, not a simulator.

Why does Paradox think a "randomized" New World means it has to be a collection of large islands? Why can't it be two continents or one mega-continent?

Are there easier ww2 games than hoi?
I've played ww2 mods of civilization but that was a bit simple and hoi was a bit difficult.

>>123993739
It is random. Supposedly it is possible for there to be nothing there.

>>123993739
A randomized new world in a historical game will never be a good idea, ever
Especially one that doesn't take into account all the climatic impacts of having the Panama isthmus open

It's random. Sometimes you'll get shitty little islands scattered around while other times you'll get a gigantic land mass or three. They need to give us options to specify what we want.

>>123987230
They don't have a weak claim so i couldn't do anything, i claimed bavarias throne though.

Since i can't claim their throne, is it bes tto wait for maybe a very long time until i can or to cancel the mission and get a chance to do other things for other rewards?

Otherwise i don't know what to do.
