Can we remove HoI4 from the OP, please? I'm not even meming, it's a terrible game that requires no strategy whatsoever and was solely to buy Johan another 14" horse cock. The only people who unironically post it are shills or retards who actually enjoy that shit, neither of which we want here.

>>161127213

Also what do you mean by 140 million more pops? Im pretty sure that around 1840-50, when Taiping is supposed to happen, QNG has about 100 million pops, so how can TTPG have 140 million more than them, unless your counting the total population that includes females and children and not just the pop number on the UI

ya that pop count seems more accurate. The ledger shows the PoP count, however if you hover the mouse over the PoP count, it will show a pop up with that also includes the total population.

>>161128504
Kwangchow in southern china is the silk one, now it is 20 years after the start so the number is off but in my game it is like 45k

>>161128339
Hainan is good for boosting your population, and Hong Kong, assuming you can nab it before the Brits, produces gold

>>161128727

How would you make enough emigrants there to reach a reasonable rgo pool for silk? I had Davao as spain flip to silk from iron, with 40k workers in a jungle it was barely producing enough to supply for a T1 luxury clothes factory.
>>161128810
Yeah I guess Hainan would be good if you were a micronation. Easy to defend too from the chinks if they ever wanted to fuck with it since all it would take is a navy to blockade it the sea tiles to prevent the chinese from engaging your navy blockading the strait.

Ningbo has 280k at the start and produces silk. Granted my hpm might be out of date because it shows up as a treaty port.

How do I start getting the BBB achievement for eu4, it seems easier on an older patch but it's still doable on 1.19 right?

>>161129053

I didn't get the surplus cash from my punitive expedition I thought. Maybe I should just double check my patch for Victoria 2 before I put the latest HPM verison on. I had double checked all the treaty ports you could take before 1850-60 and I didn't see any that were really thumpers.

Going to restart my Carlist spain game and see if I can do it better. Instead of fucking with the U.S for florida in 1840, I will let them gobble up Mexico and just reclaim it in the great war.

I'm trying to play the CK2 Warhammer mod, but about a month in I get the endless blank events that I can't close. How do I prevent these from popping up?
I'm using 2.6.1, and the mod from the archive.

I don't know then. 1.02 is supposed to be for 2.6.3, so perhaps update to that?

I know some people were complaining that linux might be bugged but it was about crashing not the event pop-up

How do you form the republic of china in KR again? I recall you need to play as the AoG but I forget the rest.

Why does my CKII game CTD instantly when starting it with After the End?

is there ANY workaround?

Yes it does. It does this because Paradox is too incompetent to actually fix a bug where if you join a multiplayer game and then leave you cannot rejoin without restarting, so everyone has to suffer because of it.

I am not trying to conquer a bunch of clay though. I just want satellites and influence. Thailand has cute girls, drugs, and wood. What else would spaniards ever want?

Well here lets entertain the idea of Nippon.
I could probably take some of the smaller islands. Kyushu looks tasty. But if I acquire a substate, can I take kyushu outright or will I have to acquire the little small island pictured here first? Or perhaps Shikkoku to have a central base to project influence upon japan? I like the idea, since Carlism is all about catholicism.

As long as my navy can keep them from getting onto an island, only one army would be needed to claim clay.

So Carlos in a different timeline invaded Japan to punish their treatment of catholics. The absolute madman! it worked, along with a little support from the Siberian igloo builders. Plans are being made for an invasion of Colombia to make it a puppet with support of Brazil which has drifted into the spanish sphere of influence which portugal was already apart of, in a bid to take back all prior clay.

Help needed!

So I've DL'd all the DLCs because I don't want to pay those fucking Paradoxers any penny aside from the base game, I've installed steamfix crack BUT
a) I can't see my pirated DLCs in the launcher
b)When I enter the game, I can see them in "Contents" but they are listed as INACTIVE.

How can I solve this issue?

>>161141784
did you run the activator a few times? it's meant to crash.

>>161141909
I don't have an activator, just a crack from REVOLT, it's called Steamworks.Fix.

Is that the one?

I ran it once and saw that it was crashing my game, I switched steam_api.dll back to the original one. I see my problem now.

Or I should've used another crack?

>>161141996
Pretty sure steamwork.fix is multiplayer patch not dlc. Do you read readme.txt?

>>161142051

Some factions seem way more fleshed out than others and some seem to be missing features that should be included. For example, why does Vlad get a Subjugation CB for the warring states of the Empire, yet the various princes don't? Why can Chaos Dwarfs raid for slaves which they need for sacrifices yet Vampires can't? Stuff like that.

Pretty sure some Vampires like Blood Dragon and Necrarch have some special CB. and they give Vlad subjugation CB because of special event. Red Duke also got Subjugation too but they don't have doomstack of undead unlike Carstein, so they always lose to Albion.

>>161143146
Necrarch do, but the way I understand it they can't expand at all, so what's the point

They are completly different games. The only thing that is the same is you run a country and you have to deal with other nations. The biggest thing to keep in mind with victoria 2 is that everything runs on pops. They run the economy they are your manpower and mainly your potential communist rebels that need to be put down like dogs. Outside of that just learn the game from scratch to much to explain in one post.

>all my armies get a morale boost because of a woman
I wonder what she's doing.

How do you stop someone from "Supporting Independence"?

Livonian Order is currently supporting the independence of my vassal Teutonic Order. I decided to wage war on Livonian Order, but it seems like you can't force them to Annul Treaties, since Support Independence doesn't seem to count as a treaty. How do I stop them from doing it then?

>>161148324
counter espionage?

>>161148293
Inspiring them by reminding them that they fight for their wives, mothers, sisters or daughters you perv.

>>161148324
Make your vassal more loyal

>>161148293
Caesar was every woman's husband and every soldiers wife
Also people don't want to be seen as weak in front of a women

>>161148410

It's not an espionage action they're performing, so counter espionage wouldn't do anything here.

>>161148497

I can't, Livonian Order is adding +130% Liberty Desire. Their Liberty Desire would be at 5% if it wasn't for Livonian Order's support independence.

I'm currently completely occupying Livonian Order's territory in war, but it doesn't decrease their power enough where they aren't giving 130% liberty desire to my vassal, nor can I demand they stop "Support Liberty" through a peace deal. Seems kind of dumb.

>>161148515
Pretty sure Support independence is part of Espionage.

does anyone have the download for all the dlc?

>>161148612

You're thinking of "Agitate for Liberty" which is an espionage action. "Support Independence" is just a standard out-in-the-open action.

>Muhgals

>Ottomans
Rape armies
>Prussia
Arguably the strongest armies next to Sweden
>Sweden
Swedish space marines

>>161153913

Are we talking AI or player-led nation?

Ottomans would be my obvious choice.

Just how effective is to incorporate a tank brigade/regiment in infantry divisions for Hearts of Iron III/IV? How different is it from just adding more artillery and anti-tanks?

>>161153913
Persia can be pretty strong

>>161153383
For starters you took way too long.

>>161154539
You get combined arms bonus for mixing unit types.

In what kind of division is the most suited for Tanks? I only ever see medium and occasionally light tanks ever being used.

Will there be anything better than 75% off EU4 and CK2 at the end of the sale?

Is ming even any fun to play as?

Also, whats the point of Scandinavia? It doesnt even give you an empire rank, and you need administrative 20 for some reason when every other nation only needs rank 10 or none.

>>161154706

>Tanks

Heavy Tanks.

>>161154706
I put Tanks in Armored and Mechanized divisions. I don't really like putting tanks in inf divisons so I usually use arty or TDs for infantry support.

Are heavy tanks useful in any division?

Can Eastern group still vassalize Indonesian muslimtech hellholes or did they plug that hole yet?

>>161154995
I think they are necessary to take down heavy fortifications.

>>161154995
They're decent for supporting inf breaking through really heavy fortifications but other than that why spend time making heavy tanks when I can make med tanks that can entrap enemy divisons and break them with much less effort and losses?

What speed do you guys play Crusader Kings 2/whatever game on? And how long do your games normally last? (hours/days etc)

I play at the highest speed setting since not a lot happens when you're a smaller nation, but do other people go for a slower speed when you're something like the HRE or the Byzantine Empire?

What game?

>>161158601
Only way to play is highest speed then pause when you need to do stuff.

HoI III/IV. Mods as well.

Heavy tanks are useless because they're slow as fuck. The only acceptable use for them is to charge into the Maginot Line and destroy all the fortifications with them.

>>161158821
Yeah, that's what I pretty much do. Pause every time I need to do/check something, but I was curious if people usually play at a slower speed

Ming or Qing or form Golden horde and make papa Genghis proud?

I know venetians are honorary jews but would they really spend money on a synagogue?
legit question what do i do help

>>161160053
just let them build their shit and get money. If they get annoying deport them

>>161160053
I would ban since having one religion is best if at all possible. I have a legit question how much does that mod slow down the game? I love mods like the imperial mod and the HRE mod but they always become unbearably slow after the first century or so.
