What's the connection between research points and literacy in vick2? For example if I have a nation with 40% literacy, what does that mean.

It's always good to see that I'm not the only white person here.

Would buying the eu4 base game be worth it, now that it's on sale? I've just been pirating it so far. I'd probably still pirate the DLC, just wondering if buying the base game would give me any benefits(I don't care about ethics)

>>161066207
Chileans aren't white.

>>161066210
If you can play the game now, the only benefit would probably be the steam workshop.

>>161066268
Well, on a pirated game you can use the workshop downloader (http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/), and just apply mods manually, so I don't really see that as a benefit

>>161066210
Don't buy Paradox games. I did and I regret it.

>>161066336
Why?

>>161066210
Yes it is. You get access to mods and patches.

>>161066387
>mods
As I said, you can use the workshop downloader to download the mod files and just activate them manually by putting them in the game folder

>patches
1.19 came out yesterday and an update to my pirated game came out in an hour or so, so that's also not a problem

Anything else? I really don't see any benefits of buying it

>>161066460
Steamworkshop downloader wasn't working with EU4 as far as I know.

If you don't see the benefits, don't buy it. That's it.

You need to annex and then release afaik.

Also, how to do the opposite thing? How to survive as Teutons to form GroBPreuBen? Do I need to restart a few times to get things going as I want them to?

Seems like Germany won't be a trouble in this party, and the glorios alliance of the constitutional monarchies of NGF, GB and Italy will have to deal with fascist France instead. Won't be a problem, we cucked the frogs well the last time. The last two times.

What's a good strategy for sweden in EUIV?
I'm sort of new to the game and I can get my independence but by that point I'm weaker than muscovy by a lot and I can't take on denmark and all of their allies at the same time.

how do you fucks have the energy to play these awful and boring games after all these years
i'm so tired of them, i try to continue my shitty campaign and get bored immediately
recently tried some ageod games but they felt too simple

They're all on sale. Is HoI3 a good place to start? I like the idea of a WWII setting, but not opposed to CK2 or EU4 setting either. Or HoI4 but it looks like it's regarded as a worse game for more money.

>>161074759
HoI3 is the worst place to start with paradox grand strategy games.
It's not impossible or anything but it's by far the most convoluted of their games.

Autism, lad

>>161074815
Hmm. So maybe CK2 or EU4 first. I imagine that both are pretty good and it's more dependent on which setting is more interesting to me?

>>161074759
If you want the WWII setting, I think Darkest Hour is a bit easier to learn than HoI3. CK2 or EU4 are probably a better start, but you should get the DLCs for them.

>>161074993

>>161074759

>>161074706
Make friends early with strong countries who also hate Denmark and Muscovy like Brandenburg and Poland, and make tons of money to afford mercs. A few wars with your allies doing most of the work will give you the window you need to dominate.

>>161075259
Thanks
>make tons of money to afford mercs
this is the only part I don't get, the only way I know to reliably be able to afford mercs is to have a province with gold in it and pump production development. I can barely afford to even maintain my force limit how do I go about getting rich without gold?

>>161075348
You don't have to be at max force limit all the time. Just maintain your cav and your cannons and maybe a bit of infantry. When war comes you just recruit mercs to fill up your force limit. With admin ideas mercs are also 25% cheaper.

>>161075348
Taking the Trade idea will give you hella money in general. I also like to squeeze out ever last drop of gold from anyone I fight a war with which helps keep the treasury stocked.

has anyone else gotten a bug in HIP where portraits are blank?

>>161075539
Doesn't the AI weigh your value as a war target based on how many troops you have standing? I thought it helped prevent wars to be at force limit all the time but it could have just been a bad assumption.

>>161075348
>>161075539
Sweden also gets -25% merc maintenance which goes a long way for a merc-heavy army.

>>161075729
Do you think it's worth it to get both innovative and admin ideas for the cheaper mercs? With 75% reduced cost they would be cheaper than regular troops wouldn't they? Or is there a cap on the reduced cost?

In CKII, would a more centralized world (Few, large empires pre-eminent) run more smoothly as opposed to a very fractured world?

Initially I'd say yes because you'd have less armies marching around, but this is not accounting for characters, especially courtiers. Which kind of world spawns more?

By the way, you should know, I don't know if this works at all and I'm just talking big to impress my friends, in reality it would probably cost more as it costs 1 infamy to remove from sphere and then I believe you get a truce, costing another 2, so you'd only save one infamy, and you run the risk of other Europeans taking them in that time.

>>161079609
Northern Algeria and Morocco are mainly mountains as well, so it's actually the perfect place to defend.

>>161079682
Your spoiler is all wrong, HPM removed that infamy hit for removing from sphere and the truce for removing from sphere never happened. Plus, no one would dare to attacking the Futa as he'd keep a friendly opinion on them.

>In October 1865, Napoleon had a cordial meeting with Bismarck at Biarritz. They discussed Veneto (Venetia), Austria's remaining province in Italy. Bismarck told Napoleon that Germany had no secret arrangement to give Veneto to Italy, and Napoleon assured him in turn that France had no secret understanding with Austria. Bismarck hinted vaguely that, in the event of a war between Austria and Prussia, French neutrality would be rewarded with some sort of territory as a compensation. Napoleon III had Luxembourg in mind.
Well that would've saved a ton of effort and infamy.

Once enemies against one another, Mexico and Spain were able to rekindle bonds with the legitimate king Carlos over reclaiming glory in the Americas from Anglo scum. With a reformed army, and a god given right to take back Florida and St. Augustine spanish soldiers are ready to make their amphibious assault and dig into the swamps. Though, the army still lacks professionalism. Hopefully that is not a problem?

>Napoleon passed his time writing and designing a stove which would be more energy efficient. In the summer of 1872, his health began to worsen. Doctors recommended surgery to remove his gallstones. After two operations he became very seriously ill. His last words were, "Isn't it true that we weren't cowards at Sedan?" He was given last rites, and died on 9 January 1873.

You can't repair your boats, you don't get conquest RP until you get rid of the isolation modifier, and most of SEA is sphered/friendly; in short, there's very little point to conquest as unciv Japan.

Carlos was concerned over the conditions of Slavery in Cuba. He pondered if he should free the state, or hold off and draft a plan to free all the slaves due to the inefficiency in using them with British machinery possible to do what a hundred slaves could previously do.

Check the war tab. America is fucking Mexico, but because Texas still exists they can't manifest destiny afaik so I have no worries about it. I have 30+ war score from battles against the U.S, which is pushing them close to getting cut down to size by Russia even though they are dominating Mexico. I would never be able to get them cut down to size, and get Florida since Russia is leading the negotiations. The army should probably send another colonial army over to assist Mexico in the coming borderfriction wars with Texas. Should probably still leave the third army in Florida, to bolster the line at St Augustine and Tallahassee.

After the experience of the army dying of the plague in Florida swamps from Zika and shit, Carlos pushes a national effort to develop modern medicine. He claims that once the government manages to pay off its debt, he might turn back control to an assembly for assistance.

But the Moroccoans want to fuck. Question is what is the best way to handle it? Spain doesn't need the treaty port, and going to war to Humiliate them seems like a waste of resources since it would create the vaccum for french influence to seep in from Algeria.

Why don't you use the bigger flag frame mod that comes with AFPG? Honestly makes the game a whole lot better. Takes less than a minute to install and makes the flags visable.

Dunno, My people have not gotten very angry for some reason. Maybe its because I managed to pass some Social Reforms?

>>161089828
How did the 1848 revolution happen? Did you have a decision that made you a republic or what?

>>161089828

Is there anyway to make this stack repair first? Or is it impossible because no harbor?

I pissed off my people by getting enough reactionaries in the upper house and I revoke one of the liberal reforms, that really pissed'em off.

Finally, on December 2nd, 1890 the "Bonaparte" Tower was finished, a beautiful centerpiece display for the City of Paris. Emperor Napoleon III, being 81 years old now, is ecstatic that he was able to see it built while he was still alive and commends the work.

After this picture I'm using it now.

So did you need to actually have a no memes revolution? I'd have thought it was railroaded as rebellions are "supposed" to be things that only happen when you can't stop them.

>>161090059
Yep I see that!
Welp, time to bulk up on Zanzibar. It's a pretty cool slave trading port, but precious metals/printed money doesn't seem to effect me very much. Its only 7g a month. Pops there are rich though.

Whoops.
kicked over Bali to remind the world that Spain can still do things after taking back Florida. Carlos turned the government back over to the Liberals, and everyone realized that LF was a meme policy and that spain needs to learn how to tax better.

How can increase my pop's militancy without cheating and without intentionally losing wars? Maxed out taxes and tariffs? Suppressing movements?

It begins

>>161090891
Don't pass reforms as well

>>161090928
Would that make the upper house willing to pass social reforms?

>>161090832
Protip: 33% is the minimum funding a navy can receive before it will start to slowly lose strength to 5%.

>>161090902
How close are you to westernising? Are you aiming to peacefully unify Japan?

>>161090902
I hope your stacks are good.
