What should I do next? In addition to this I have Alaska, Hawaii, a good portion o Malaysia, most of the Pacific islands, and soon Madagascar. The only thing I can think of doing now is maybe going over the infamy limit to take the dutch east indies or eastern Siberia. What should I go for?

If he replies as anonymous, is the same thing as if he didn't. That's self evident.

No, he doesn't.
People barely criticize his mod anyway, 99% of the time is shitposting with forced memes.

Is there a way to convert to another religion in EU4 if you are not a pagan and that religion isn't in your religion group?
I'm pretty new to this, started a game with Golden Horde and after finally getting some tengri provinces I was terrified to find out that I couldn't convert into it, tengri rebels wouldn't cooperate with a non-pagan. So I got tengri rebels to rise with some underpaid missionaries and convert my provinces until my country collapsed, but when it did Tengri rebels disappeared and my state religion remained Sunni.

Operation Cockburn Creek is in full grinding to a halt as the winter freeze sets in. The Germans have pulled themselves into a defense pocket in Belgium and the Rhineland that is heavily fortified. While they can easily be attacked and over taken, Field Marshal Eisenhower is quoted as saying "I don't want all those divisions in one fucking province holy shit." The United Kingdom has not aided the invasion one bit, refusing to leave their island home.

As General Somervall pushes into Eastern Prussia the front has continued to expand, the neutrality of Hungary prevented a second route from being opened. To open the needed second front, the 101st and 82nd will land in Copenhagen to open up the Baltic Sea to the Marine Corp, freshly back from taking over the German Pacific Islands.

Superior Firepower techs. Each of those stacks is made of of 3xINF with ART, hard attack of 13, soft of 20. Some of them are backed up my artillery but with them being cut off of supplies it's more of just a time thing. They're so low in ORG that they keep routing. It's at the point where I just need to throw more infantry than they have. Usually I use Mobility, so I would be using TAC with Tanks and Superheavy ART if I wanted to meme it up.

Rate my endgame territorial borders?

We lost a war to Pomerania, who annexed Mecklenberg, and ordered us to give back Altmark and Ostfriesland. They were somehow allied to PLC and Burgundy (with vassals) so I had no chance.

By attacking their ally we were able to take Bremen, albeit with 50AE to most of the HRE.

I will reclaim what Pomerania took, and also annex some more cities and land. The rest of the game will be spent making colonial Hamburg a reality.

A quick reminder that the latest version of the CK2 mod ''Western Europe 410-962 - The Winter King'', version 1.4.1, has finally been released! This release solves many bugs which have been around since the latest release, as well as a huge new character name list for the Gallo-Romans (look it up in the files, it is gargantuan), and some smaller fixes for Roman players desiring to conquer Ireland and Scotland (or Hibernia and Caledonia, if you prefer the Emperor's Latin).

>>159068267
Of course. Manicheism isn't a Christian heresy, but they have their own religion group (Gnostic), and there is at least one Manichean count in southern Gaul who I know of (as well as many Manichean counties where religious revolts can start).

Most religions are "good" by these standards. Even "the pedo is the prophet" and "vulture food became an hero for your sins!".

And yet, they fight war over war to say who's the "gooder" one.

>Most religions are "good" by these standards. Even "the pedo is the prophet" and "vulture food became an hero for your sins!".

And yet, they fight war over war to say who's the "gooder" one.

Your example is an example of oppressive religion made to rein in unruly savages.
And it still better than Manicheism, which is "matter is inherently evil. Kill yourself and become a ghost."

Can somebody explain why my Winter King mod is always crashing? It gets to "Loading Databases" and then it closes the window.

>Which other religion is dualistic, believes in reincarnation,
>believes in reincarnation,
Fun fact: Reincarnation is considered failure in Manicheism

Are you sure you are using the right version of the mod for the right version of the game? On our Mod DB page, there is information for the different versions. If you still have a question you need help with, I advise you to post it either there or on the Paradox Forums thread, as I get notifications when someone posts something there, while I sometimes miss stuff here.
