We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, November 3rd:

1812 – Napoleon's armies are defeated at the Battle of Vyazma.
1867 – Giuseppe Garibaldi and his followers are defeated in the Battle of Mentana and fail to end the Pope's Temporal power in Rome (it would be achieved three years later).
1918 – Austria-Hungary enters into the Armistice of Villa Giusti with the Allies, and the Habsburg-ruled empire dissolves.
1918 – Poland declares its independence from Russia.
1918 – The German Revolution of 1918–19 begins when 40,000 sailors take over the port in Kiel.

Dear HPM, the following provinces in Canada are named wrong, please fix them.

#75;Millertown, Newfoundland: founded 1900, would recommend calling Port-Aux-Basques
#69;Edmunston, New Brunswick: Petit-Sault until 1851
#52;Sudbury, Ontario: founded 1893, would recommend calling Sainte-Anne-des-Pins
#49;Dryden, Ontario: founded 1895, call it Lake of the Woods or Rat Portage
#2594; Pickle, Ontario, named for Pickle Lake founded 1928, call it Patricia
#41; Brandon, Manitoba, founded 1882, call it Assiniboine
#30: Regina, Saskatchewan, Renamed/founded from Wascana 1882, Qu'Appelle was regional center before that
#33;Asquith; Founded 1903, call it Battleford
#34;Saskatoon: Saskatchewan, founded 1882, just call it Saskatchewan (after the river)
#35;Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, founded 1880s~, region is the Cypress Hills
#22;Edson, Alberta, there was literally nothing here until the 20th century, the earliest name I can find is "smallpox camp" from 1870 because a bunch of Indians died there while on the way somewhere else, merge the province with #28 Red Deer
#25;Banff, Alberta, founded 1884, call it Bow Falls
#26;Calgary, Alberta, founded 1870s~, call it Bow River
#29;Cardston, Alberta, founded 1887, call it Medicine Hat
#2595;Iqualuit, NWT: called Frobisher Bay till 1987, province would be better named Baffin or even Nunavut

Regards, your friend Dave Watson.

What's a good EU4 mod? M&T map is fucking retarded and disgusting and the mod is bloated. VeF is full of retarded shit like "Angevin Union" as a country.

It pisses me off how the entire west coast of africa is colonized by 1600, the game really needs a LR system.

So are there any good mods for EU4? Preferably with a more sensible map without tribes everywhere?

>And yet there's shit all about Spain and Philippines which leads to the place becoming a Ternate colony, which is absolutely retarded.
In real life, Spain got away with this because the Philippines were almost in their half of the sphere. Kinda like Portugal got away with some South American coast.

However, the game doesn't model the Treaty of Tordesillas... the stuff you find in the game looks nothing like that. It isn't about the "whole uncivilized world", it isn't an agreement for Iberian powers, it doesn't even respect the borders of RL Tordesillas treaty.

>"Railroaded" is just used by people mad at an event that made shit harder for them, your case is pretty obvious. If you don't want any historical events, go play other genre.
Ironically, in my current playthrough, the Iberian Wedding came as a blessing for me - Aragon becoming a subject = one less coalition member.

I wonder how seriously the other nations took it and whether, had it not been for the Protestant reformation, Spain and Portugal would have been allowed to freely carve up the new world.
>>
>>159207470
No one else gave a single shit right off the bat, it just gave the Spanish an excuse to attack colonies in their zone and the Portuguese an excuse to be pirate lords in the Indian ocean.
>>
>>159207596
Then how come England didn't start colonising until post reformation?
>>
>>159207632
Couldn't afford it, war of the roses was a massive all consuming civil war and then Henry VIII wasted the entire treasury, Queen Elizabeth spent her whole reign focusing on trade and internal stability, and then they got the colonial ball rolling.

The French were more active earlier, and tried to colonize Brazil a few times in the 16th century.
>>
>>159207470
>I wonder how seriously the other nations took it
I'm not sure, but I think England tried to colonize the Spanish half on purpose - both to avoid hurting their ally Portugal and to annoy the shit out of Spain.

France: they probably gave zero fucks, see French Guiana, Louisiana and Canada. Even when kicking out the Protestants out.

>>159219348
Don't play it on a shitty CPU or AMD. Since EU4 is not optimized for several cores (two if I'm not wrong - one for graphics another for calculations), your game will move at about 2 or 3 speed thanks to the computational bloat it is. You should only play it if you're calm enough to play on that speed or have an i7.

It's actually not easy, from a programming point of view.

Now's your turn. Make Genghis Khan proud.
>>
>>159221695
The way computers work is that if you have say 2 processes needing CPU time and only one core, your OS allocates the CPU to rapidly 'jump' between tasks like a psuedo-multitask, like if you pat your head once, then rubbed your belly a little, then pat your head once, etc.
Multi-core allows you to actually do both at once by making one 'brain' do the rubbing and the other the patting.
The problem with multicoring something like EU4 is that as far as the computer gives a shit, it's only one action, patting your head. Paradox would need to split EU4 up in the source code, assign pointers, and basically tell the computer why, in fact, patting your head is actually four parallel actions. The key is parallel: raising and lowering your hand aren't happening at the same time so it doesn't benefit from multicore. PDox needs to give seperate instructions to your shoulder, back, arm, and wrist muscles and make sure they don't overlap.

Fort maintenance is too cheap for my income. My strategy is to keep their army on my territory until the Ottoman army conquers its way up to me. By the time they manage to siege one of my provinces, the warscore would already be 20-30 in my favor, coupled with the Ottomans wiping their army for me

>The Iberian Wedding events (when RL Spain was almost formed by Castile+Portugal - the game acknowledges the events by the Civil War script), the Colonial Regions (an attempt to recreate the 13 Colonies, La Plata, Brazil, etc. with similar borders), the Dutch Uprising...I would be fine with those if they didn't feel so fucking forced. "Ah, Castile and Aragon hate each other guts, but Castile will get a PU over Aragon!". Almost like if Paradox didn't look at the reasons those events happened IRL, and just tried to mimic the map. (And mimic it badly - the CR borders are wrong)
The reason Paradox does this is fairly obvious - if they didn't, they'd have to add a system for exceptional events to occur organically, like somehow making Luther happen but the Pope reacts in time and keeps it from splitting or having a system where the historical Iberian wedding could happen anywhere where circumstances seemed natural for it.
It's more work.

Quick HPM mess up fix:

So while testing stuff with my minimod I came across a modifier. "No land connection to capital" -0.01 militancy

Now I think this is a good idea, but I very much doubt that HPM wanted to give less militancy, I think he wanted to give them more militancy. As it is right now POPs who have no land connection to your capital somehow get LESS militancy, not more.

It's under common/static modifers - overseas = { assimilation_rate = -0.3 pop_militancy_modifier = -0.01 }

You should get rid of the minus there.

I think I've played some HRE minors, Genoa, and Hamburg relatively often. Also Denmark sometimes for epic Vikings, but yeah I don't play Europe that much. 3.4k hours here.
>>
>>159229427
In EU4 i usually play european countries because of the tech modifiers
however on Victoria 2 i literally always play uncivs, the games is just boring otherwise

That's what I thought too, but the three nations combined have about 90K troops. I fought off 40k or so with my 20k troops in the mountains before they got obliterated, then blocked the Straight of Gibraltar with my navy.

Then I fucked up and sent my main fleet South to relieve another fleet and left the Straight open... 60K Malinese flooded Portugal.
I pissed my pants and ALT-F4ed at that point.

It usually takes a couple of months. It will happen.

You'll have endless rebellions for the rest of the game. Playing the Ottomans is worse than playing Spain in that regard. Not only that, but you wont have enough infamy to do half the shit you want to do.

I recommend to change the immigration preferences of Vicky2 by reducing the bonus for america and oceania. The game becomes more interesting; there's much more immigration in Europe, more countries get immigrants, and it makes some countries more interesting, like krakow. You only have to go to victoira2>poptypes and edit the files with the notepad like this:

factor = 4.0
OR = {
continent = north_america
continent = south_america
continent = oceania
4 is the bonus for america and oceania, you can remove or modify it, i have 0.2 (20% preference).

Golden Horde? Make a mad dash for Crimea (if declaring war on them isn't literally the first thing you do then they're likely to chimp out and get wrecked by genoa/apply for vassalisation by ottomans) and then Theodoro for dem trade centres, move your capital to Astrakhan, get Kazan (this one can be difficult due to Kazan almost always becoming butt buddies with Timurids) and so on. Regularly conquer, raze and then release non-sunni lands around you (Circassia and Georgia are prime candidates) and even sunni lands if you can't afford to keep them. Also ally with Ryazan to get friendly province spread of feudalism.

Introducing the First Expansion for Hearts of Iron IV

Together for Victory, the first expansion for Paradox Development Studio’s World War II game Hearts of Iron IV, shines a bright light on the British dominions and colonies that rallied around the flag in England’s darkest hour.
Hearts of Iron IV - Together For Victory, Mood Trailer
The centerpiece of the expansion is a set of new National Focus trees for five subjects of the British crown: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the British Raj in India. Make history with appropriate technology or alternate history paths, as well as new portraits, new leaders and new companies for the Dominions.

It's not, though. Always keep tribes loyalty above 60% for the -20% cost and you should be able to afford lots of it.

Introducing the Second Expansion for Hearts of Iron IV

The Rise of Evil, the second expansion for Paradox Development Studio’s World War II game Hearts of Iron IV, brings out the worst of totalitarian ideologies. From Fascist ghettos to Communist Progroms, this expansion will show the most controversial side of the war.
Hearts of Iron IV - The Rise of Evil, Mood Trailer
The centerpiece of the expansion is a set of new National Focus trees nations following Communist and Fascist ideologies. Connect ghettos to vast death camps or arm the populace with clubs so they can forget about their hardships by exacting vengeance on intellectuals and racial degenerates. Features more characters like Josef Mengele, technologies like deadly gasses and more.

It's because they don't play in Europe. They'll never know about the problems of taking one province in the HRE and then taking a coalition up the ass from every nation in central europe
>>
>>159247131
or to have France/Commonwealth/Russia/Ottomans breathing down their neck the entire game.
The only thing that compares is Ming who usually implode.
>>
>>159246985
None of those are threatening if you have any fucking idea what you're doing though unless the Ottomemes or France goes bonkers on you early on before you can get an economy and diplo going
EU4 is not "challenging" except for a few select starts and/or high goals like WC or full trade control.

Go into the game and go into the content tab and see if RoM is actually there, if it's not the game literally can't see it and it isn't a crack problem. If that's the case try reextracting the dlc and try to open the .zip file that makes up the DLC, I had the same problem and it turned out to be because the DLC archive wasn't fully extracted and corrupted.
Try using a different crack or the steam emulator, or try launching then closing the game a couple of times.

Okay so, I just started up my old Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence campaign that I started back in January and saw that I'm stuck in the middle of two coalitions.

So far I haven't chosen a side, but unfortunately I feel that it is inevitable that I will be sucked into war with at least one of them, who should I side with?

In celebration of the grand victories against the foreign invaders from both France and Scandinavia, Cyning Magnus I Godwinson, the son of the late Harald II, invites the nobility and knights of Englaland to attend a tourney.

Also, Tuberculosis epidemic to the north.

>>159255086
as you can see I was out of manpower before so I could only make do with what I had.

Also I did an all cav army of 14k against a normal rebel army of 9k about a year prior to this and my army lost 50% of itself.

Infantry are required, they are the meat shiels while the cavalry attack with their flanking bonus.

What for? It's a slower game then others, with more things going on. There are mods that extend timelane to this or tat lenght. But really it's enough to go from unciv to a GP, but not enough to go from unciv to top 3 GP.

I won the tourney, so I get the prize money and some prestige.

I use some of the prize money to bribe courtiers to join my conspiracy and eventually succeed in killing Magnus, to which his uncle inherits the throne of England.

By doing so, I am now a direct vassal of the King, since Magnus' uncle was a vassal of Magnus and my liege.

I'm new to Paradox games and have immensely enjoyed Hoi4.

It is "easy" as in AI makes stupid mistakes. But it is very possible to lose on any country, unless you do the exact right things in the right order (which is hard since its the first games and the game doesn't explain all the mechanics)

First game with France I would have lost unless
1) used everything in beginning on building industry
2) allied with another east european country in the middle of fighting germany (caused main strength of their force to leave)
3) defended a strong point of 2 spaces against 120 soviet divisions with 20 of mine
4) had the sense to retreat against superior soviet army
5) bonus: blobbed hard :)

Still wasn't easy. Fk off gsg hate bots.

It does, but it's also a bit unpractical to encourage bureaucrats first as an unciv since they take a while to promote. As a civilized nation though, you definitely should encourage bureaucrats first. Promotion is optimised when both your overall admin efficiency and regional admin efficiency are at +100%, but you get the biggest boost once your overall admin efficiency reaches +90%.

Was that ironic?
Well, by the time you get your first military reform, there's a small chance the Qing had its navy obliterated by the British, but with a large chance of them having hardly any recruited troops left. If you're lucky enough for this to be the case, then just put all your transport fleets inbetween Korea and Kyushu and all your substates will walk straight to Cheju and the southern Korean coast. You can also command the troops of puppets and substates during wars.

>>
>>159274876
>>159275359
I went to the doctor, he said there was a cyst and I should take anti-biotics for a week, I've done that and now there's a slight pain and I don't think I should go back until i've given it time to heal. Dr Anon said it would take two to three weeks, so I'll leave it for another week and see if it goes away, if not, I'll go back.

You make it sound like I'm slitting my wrists, anon.

How is this not an act of a retard I do not understand. Maybe your healthcare charges you by the hour, maybe you lead a busy life (haha), it doesn't matter. I have no idea what setup you have, but if you can't call him to consult, you make time and go consult in person. It could be nothing. Or it could be medical error. And come the fuck on your literall balls are at stake.

you don't even need antibiotics if it's not infected, the doctor just probably gave him them just so that he would feel like he is being treated
>>
>>159276358
I live in a country with ''free'' healthcare,the doctor didn't actually tell me how long it would take to heal, he gave me 21 antibiotic tablets and told me to take 3 a day, when I went in the pain was really bad and I thought it was torsion or something, now I barely even feel it, I feel like it will go away in three or four more days, if it doesn't then I'll go back.

This isn't like cancer or anything, he said it's extremely common.
>>
>>159276646
Anon, with all due respect, you are trying to diagnose a person over the internet based on symptoms he recited. Do you not understand that this is kind of shit is really really bad idea?

>>159276675
It's your balls man, it's your balls.
>>
>>159276908
And I've said, I'm in practically no pain, I've gone from screaming agony to almost nothing in a week, I don't see a reason to go back and tell him that the pain is going away, like he said.

I hate people misusing the word "meme".

Memes are either Dawkins' cultural units that behave gene-like or something on the internet that spread like Dawkins' meme, not game mechanics you dislike.

About your heir: you'll be left with a huge regency. If you're lucky, your king will live time enough to make your heir a general... and you'll scream "KILL MY HEIR! KILL MY FUCKING HEIR!!!" staring at the screen while the little shit refuses to die.

So my little learning game of DW slowly continues. After repelling a baffling attempt to hang around and blockade my planets/mines by the Gizurean Hive (yellow to bottom right) w/o a declaration of war and repeated warnings to stop attacking their ships in my space, they fucked off. Now I face a new issue, it seems my colonies are getting populated by neighbors. is this good, or should I be worried and institute resettlement policies to get them back on track?

CK2 fag here, what do you guys do to enjoy the game? Specifically my problem is consolidating too much power and blobbing the fuck out.
>>
>>159280220
Get your family in power in foreign thrones through marriage. Fun as fuck.
>>
>>159280220
Install CK2+, Turn on defensive pacts and shattered retreat, set in on hard. Viola, suddenly blobbing isn't a cakewalk.
Or you could switch to a different charachter, or force some arbitrary rules on yourself.
>>
when is patch 1.19 being released?
>>
>>159245309
What has to happen for that event to trigger. I'm playing as Japan and have been over the infamy limit for a while and have beaten France in a containment war they declared on me, but nothing has happened yet.
>>
>>159280220
What he >>159280508 said.

I always "roleplay" as my character. If my character is content, I won't ever try to fabricate claims or declare wars, I'm simply happy I own a castle and don't have to work the fields like the peasants. If I'm an ambitious guy with high intrigue I'll play a la Littlefinger/Varys from game of thrones and fuck shit up. If I'm mad and cruel I usually end up assasinated or with revolts because I'm an asshole.

Playing like this REALLY limits your blobbing, and in a way, it's more historical. A "normal" player always games the system and aims for the same thing regardless of ruler, but like this is how it was in history, different rulers with different goals.
>>
>>159280508
is CK2+ patched up to date? If so I'll definitely check this out

>>159280473
I agree, usually I'll put on seniority succession to eventually slide my way into the newer throne, but I might try it just for the sake of it

I can only imagine that this must be pretty accurate to how the plague went down in RL. Also i'm nearly convinced that the "Lionheart" trait is cursed
