Relative newfag to /gsg/, about 80 hours into EU4 and I have pretty much all of the fundamentals down.

What are some recommendations for intermediate civs to roll as? I've done Castille, Portugal, Cusco (I had to savescum that one a lot but eventually founded Inca and westernized), and some custom civs in South Africa/Australia. Wondering what some medium tier civs might be fun.

also it's just HIP, probably a submod in it

Hitlermod guy are you going to include the European Union as an entity in this mod? I think it's plausible if Germany won, Germany would want full domination over Europe's economy. I think around 1951 Germany,Italy,Francoist Spain, Fascist Britan, Vichy France and other countries could get events to join the Europäische Gemeinschaft für Kohle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Coal_and_Steel_Community which would develop into the EU.

I think Italy/Britan would be more likely to refuse which might lead to war and such and might lead them into Japan's faction

>>152193407
Complete theorizing here, but since 'u' and 'v' are the same thing in Latin, it might have to do with 'slav'ic origins.
I just looked at Breslau in particular, and it was indeed fundamentally named from 'Vratislav'

>-au (from Slavic suffix -ov, -ów). Examples: village and town names' suffixes on former Polabian Slavs territories: Lübbenau, Plau.
>-au, -aue (related to rivers or water), see German words Au or Aue. This meaning of -au (earlier spelling ow, owe, ouwe) describes settlements by streams and rivers. Example: Passau, the town Aue, rivers named Aue.

way, waaaaay too early lad. Maybe IF Germany wins the cold war, i was thinking of leaving the EU for that reason. But 1951 is too much, maybe it can start around the 80s or so.

1. Never literacise, your pops become pinko liberal fucks who revolt literally every 5 minutes.

2. Ignore factory techs, solely get RGO techs.

Basically the only way to successfully play Russia is to ignore everything youthink uou know about the game. You can still get all the army/RGO/culture techs with low literacy.

>Never literacise

I think I have never played a single full game like this.

I guess the best thing to do is to get 4% clergymen in every state to get a higher CON reduction along with the full research points, but keep education spending low while getting no techs that increase it to keep it all low?

The bad thing is that you probably won't ever be able to get the healthcare techs which might fuck you over.

Absolute monarchies, presidential dictatorships, fascist dictatorships, proletarian dictatorships. I think that theocracies can do it too.

Semi-constitutional monarchies and bourgeois dictatorships can't do it, for some reason.

>>152195407
You must keep education spending on 0% all game. Literacy is your mortal enemy, the higher it gets the more revolts you get, as Russia that gets so bad that you will have a differnt kind of rebel pop up every year, 10%~ literacy will ensure you never have to deal with ideological enemies and can focus on your military. With your NF free and money avaliable you can put the military budget slider on full and encourage soldiers to 5% in every state.

>>152195895
So you should give zero shits about clergymen, despite of the fact that they'll starve with 0% education spending and won't reduce your CON as they won't exist, which is extremely important too?

If you don't have at least 2% clergymen you'll get nowhere with research, every other nation will fuck you over.

4% clergymen in every state with very low education spending is probably the best you could do, even if their literacy does raise a little, their CON will be reduced massively so it will get them nowhere.

What are some comfy but capable/good countries in Victoria 2 that have little to no railroading or forced wars?

Japan comes to mind (can avoid the Boshin War by the 50s easily, only has 1-2 optional wars with Russia), the US (one important but completely optional war and the civil war by the first half of the game which takes little effort, after that there's literally nothing), any other releasable country but most of them are shit-tier.

Maybe Portugal too but they get too many garbage events.

Keep going lads, let's get it #1

>>152199570

There should be in my opinion three factions that the player should be able to choose from

1. Speerist- Authoritarian Technocrats, they're not really that racist, or hateful towards anyone they just want the gospel of German order and efficiency to spread all over the world. Would represent a moderation of Nazism and outside finishing the Holocaust most of the slavic population will simply be taught German and rules by a German over class until they are effectively all Germans. Supported by the heavy industry and a minority of the heer.

2. Rommelites-Mainline Nazis seeking to continue Hitlers vision and ideal. Supported by most of the Heer

3. Himmlerites- Extremely far right nazis seeking to destroy all traces of Abraham religions and western values. Essentially neo-pagan reactionaries who want to kill everyone who isn't German and bathe the earth in fire. Supported by the SS and Hitler Youth.

There should also be a second event in the 70s dealing with Evola and his brand of Roman reactionaryism and a sort of Greco-Latin revolt against Berlin

Comfiness is calculated by how easy it is to play that country, how tidy or bothersome their culture makeup and borders are, how many bullshit railroaded wars/events they have to fight/deal with (it's mostly about their frequency, duration and challenge) and how capable they are actually are. Most other countries are too incapable to be comfy or noteworthy so I won't bother including them.

>>152201095
Goring would be dead by the time hitler was dead or he would be largely discredited.

Goebbels is most likely to support whoever he thinks is going to win. I think that Goebbels is content being the right hand man and essentially being the Hamilton to Hitlers George Washington. Important but not "I'm the fuhrer now" important. Goebbels would be the one who would hold a serious amount of power whoever ends up winning and will act as their damage control and main cheerleader in denouncing the other two factions.

>>152201197
Argentina is uncomfy because it starts out as a dictatorship, has shit RGOs for the most part which limit its potential (making it more incapable) and has to deal with railroaded shit early.

Mexico in the other hand gets at least 3-4 forced wars but gets good RGOs to make up for it. However, it stays just as uncomfy.

Prussia is undeniably uncomfy, the entire game is based on sphering other countries, dealing with Austria, dealing with Denmark and France and keeping your lands safe. At most I would be willing to raise them one tier.

>>152201732
I'm thinking that maybe if Germany goes "Muh pan Germanism, muh scandinavia, muh lebensraum" the Latins could go like "huh... wait a second we wuz romans n shit, we build europa" and maybe act as the second power in Europe. and maybe that can be the second cold war/ww4

I forgot to say that since Prussia is in Europe, you have to deal with constant crisis bullshit too. I would be willing to lower Belgium one tier due to that but in general they're very capable and comfy with no real issues for the entire game.

I honestly think Madagascar should be pre-defined as their new destiny, with quite a few being executed due to refusal to move there or dying in the journey. The jews would end up making around 30% of the country, develop it but have a huge segregation system. You could make two tags for Madagascar: one for the jews and one for the natives.

I'm wondering if you could ever have any hope of blobbing a bit on the mainland, and eventually incorporating it into your country.

Probably not. It'd be impossible to get pop assimilation there, so it'd just be pointless.

I once thought of a Brazil game, wherein I colonize West Africa, use proximity to easily state it, and use European immigration to turn into BRBRs to then export to Africa to civilize and industrialize the continent.

But New World doesn't get colonial migration or CBs, no matter what, so of course that didn't work.

That's not how this works. You're not supposed to see people getting paid outlandish sums of money for nothing under national socialism, otherwise it would just be capitalism. The fact the wages grew 60% shows that wages did go up, but not in a way that would instantaneously lead to another crash when they couldn't afford to pay people anymore.

>>152211301

Oh, well if you say it it must be true.

National Socialism is a blend of gommunism and gapitalism, with less "kill the rich" and more "we need to look after everybody". The reason wages didn't shoot up is because the unemployment rate was essentially brought to zero. If everyone was paid high wages then money would have been worthless as hyperinflation set back in. The Nazis controlled the economy, through the corporatism, by setting minimum and maximum wages for tasks.

If this fucking joker is to be believed then everyone in Germany should have been a millionaire. He knows fuck all about economies and posting walls of text on a fucking anime forum isn't going to get him extra credit.

>>152212181

How does a market crash before the nazis came to power prove the nazi economy was shit?

Furthurmore, are you even going to address my point about the need to control wages with such a sudden drop in unemployment?

>>152212461
By "gommunism" I meant state controlled wages, through the corporations. Unlike in the west where it was impossible to control wages the Nazi state easily couldz which is why the USSR and Nazi Germany did so well sueing the crash, because they had a centralised economy they could artificially manipulate.

Corporatism is an essential feature of fascist governments
>But there was also an economic policy component of fascism, known in Europe during the 1920s and ‘30s as “corporatism,” that was an essential ingredient of economic totalitarianism as practiced by Mussolini and Hitler.
