Imagine... a perfect world.

My goal for this game is creating the best world to live in for the white man. Step one is creating a Gross Germaniums through diplomacy, because focuses = free land. Step two is avoiding WW2, obviously. Step three is dismantling the USSR peacefully. Step four is colonizing China.

Playing as Iran with persian rising mod in hoi4
Appearently my people are worth 10 times more than the usual infidel but I have way more casualties than everyone in any war.
Currently at war with Iraq, 31k persian casulaties and 7k Iraqi.
Is this because I have shit equipment? I still haven't produced enough submachine guns so there's that
what do

I posted this in the last thread as well, but it was early as fuck and I doubt most people saw it:

I've effectively just beaten B&W, which was what was holding me up on beginning the AAR. I've got some final quests to do and some more areas to explore, but after that I should be starting immediately. Even if I start by Friday (which isn't inconceivable) I might not be posting until Sunday/Monday, though, as I want to get at least a decade or two in before I start posting, just to make sure I don't get immediately steamrolled by a Jihad and lose the game. I won't rule out losing the game in the course of the AAR, but if I do lose I'd ideally like to last at least a century first.

Anyway, in other good news, my planned trip in July has been unexpectedly shifted back to August. That means I should have plenty of time to do the AAR without significant interruptions.

Also, because an anon asked me in the last thread, I'm going to be trying to play at around the same time I did the Napoleon AAR, from about 1:00 EST to about 7:30 EST every day. That's subject to change, of course, but it's what I'll be shooting for.

You should know what you need to research. Also the artillery techs are way more important than infantry techs. Artillery does all the real damage; infantry just protects the artillery.

Economics techs, especially output, are good. What the image does right is show the most important techs that you should rush IE medicine

I didn't pay it too much mind and fucked off for awhile, but then I started being really interested in the War of the Roses and liked playing the Civ III scenarios.

My interest in the War of the Roses went on to me being interested in the early modern period, and so I returned to EU2.

le blog ahead
It's definitely rekindling the enthusiasm for Paradox games that I used to have. I didn't play it mostly because it seemed the strangest concept of any of their games, but now I see how even the normies can like it so much.
I think I had the most fun war in any grand strat I played in this game. I'm playing as the king of Wessex, on the Old Gods start. The Dutch became independent and formed Frisia, and I allied them through marriage ties. But for some reason later on, they decide to put a prentender on my throne and land a 10k doomstack on my capital, partially capturing it and taking my daughters hostage. Luckily I barely managed to defeat it in battle with the help of some mercenaries, who defected later on and attacked me with zero casualties on my side. I killed the king in the battle, and chased down the retreating army with the new king.. and killed him. By this point my 1 year old daughter had died in the newest king's dungeon who was 13, and I was pissed. I landed the rest of my 5k stack in Holland to enforce my demands and end the war. The kid pissed his pants and called in West and East Francia into the war, but they did jack shit. I captured the little shit and some other random chick who was part of the dynasty, slaughtered them both, and ended the war. The heir for the newest king on the throne of Frisia is my cousin, so that might be a fourth king dead here.
Le blog aside, I'm sure I'll get tired of it after I get used to it like all other Paradox games, but the sheer amount of interactive mechanics and dynamism makes it different for me.

Im still mad about East vs. West. I've been playing NWO for darkest hour, and its only made me want a Cold War game with appropriate mechanics even more. The Cold War DLC that comes out for HoI 4 will definitely be shit.

I found EU in the games isle of an office supply store. It looked interesting, and it was around $20. Probably less than a year later, I picked up EU2, and could actually annex France.

Would you recomend playing For the Glory?
Is it filled with "believable worlds"?
What mechanics does it have that makes it better than EU3 or MEIOU?

Someone should mod in the music for the really old Paradox games into EU4 or something.

Don't return to it imo, do what you've been doing for the last 6 months. Improve your life, meet new people, try to fix things, etc. There are like millions of things you can do which would be better than spending time on EU4

Alright, I finished Witcher 3 unexpectedly early. That means I'm going to be starting on the CK2 AAR as of right now.

As I mentioned before, I'm going to be playing in about 10-20 years before I start posting anything, just to make sure I don't get an extremely early game-over. So long as I make good time today and tomorrow, I expect I may be able to post as early as Friday, although no promises especially if I get memed on.

No powergaming at all, if I can avoid it. I have house rules which prevent me from doing most of that, you can see them here: http://pastebin.com/Gpi85HZt

General goal is a Christian Levant, but that's a lot more vague and subject to change than the Napoleon AAR. In that AAR, I was creating characters which weren't represented at all in the game and using them to tell the story I wanted; in this case, I'm going to be bound to behave, in general, as my character traits dictate.

Technically speaking, although it's unlikely, I could be Sunni before this game is done.

Johan is an Autist.

He does not like how Paradox is dealing with their games. He doesn't like the DLC policy, he doesn't like the casualization, he doesn't like the SWEDEN YES-tier intrusions to his historical simulators.

And yes, he privately laments on not making the games more like simulators and less like platforms for easy fun and DLC.

He's a sub-par male specimen due to his physical health, but he likes his games. He just can't do anything but go with the company's flow, he is silenced and basically acts as a lunch-time bug-tester and balancer, a face of Paradox PR and a testemant to past age of Paradox GS games.

He still occasionally plays EU2 and his earlier games, that is more we can say about the newer, more 'progressive' employees at the company.

Johan is an Autist.

He was the creative designer on Stellaris, nothing more. He had a more prominent role in EU4 as the lead for Game Design, but was heavily constrained by release schedule and Wester (CEO) influencing the development to create a more profitable platform for DLC and easy fun. Johan had an even bigger role in the development of CK2 as it's Producer for it's initial development back in 2012, and less constrained by a still transient Wester who had not discovered the perfect formula for profit. CK2, at the time, was an 'okay' game that many people could have seen being improved to be better than CK1, and more.

CK2's DLC was not developed in any way by Johan, and look at the game now.

Games previous to CK2 are either acceptable or more high up there in autistry, while Paradox was still a small (sub-40 employees) yet growing company and Johan still had a voice that was listened to.

Johan is an Autist.

Abbasid's got fucked by civil wars and I just started eating chunks of them. Also can a character hold more than one emperor title?

That was nice. It took 600 years for them to break apart in my game, but now they've strong alliances with all the splintered Abbasid duchies.

You can hold more than one emperor title, but you'll have to deal with vassals starting more factions for that title, and you don't get de jure drift.

The grand scheme is on the part of the regulars to constantly shit up this general with retarded external drama that only a minority of posters even know about.

Nobody cares about the steamgroup, nobody cares about people posting stellaris here, nobody cares about leftypol, why don't you losers add that to the OP, just make the whole OP into circlejerking drama.
