Reposting from the last thread:

After polling opinions, the general consensus for the next AAR is either DH or HoI3. I've put together a poll with options here:

http://www.strawpoll.me/11845625
http://www.strawpoll.me/11845625
http://www.strawpoll.me/11845625

The reason I've decided to include an "other" category with Kaiserreich is because there are so many viable starts, and if Kaiserreich seems like the winner confining to Germany/Qing doesn't seem very reasonable.

This won't necessarily be the final determiner--if some choices are close or there seems to be a general game preference I might do a run-up poll--so this poll is partly just to help me get a feel of what opinions are at this point.

Keep in mind that I probably still won't have time over vacation (IE the next three weeks or so) to do the AAR unless HoI3 Nationalist China wins the vote, because everything else will take too long and will still need to wait until June. Even Nat. China might take too long, but we'll see.

>>162408435
How?

>>162408053
Pretty much. Geopolitics for the US are "Flavor of the Month" diplomacy.

>>162408197
>That was like 2007-10 shit, old news

Yeah, that was at least several years back. Pretty sure the most rampant of it was in the late 20th century, 1960s - 1990s.

>That's even funnier. Nobody even fucking wants it. Not the nobodies in villages, not the old guys, not the kids in the best uni in the country. Nobody cares about 'having a voice' because the country is being run fine as it is.

That's pretty much the impression I've gotten out of taking a Chinese Politics class at uni (though the professor was trying to sprinkle it up as "but MAYBE they MAY want it at some point").

>Didn't we hack the pentagon or something
>ebin stuff there

Something like that, yeah. It's pretty much "DUH CHINESE/RUSSIAN HAXXORZ". I don't think we'd honestly give a shit unless China stole top secret files or fucked with Wall Street, though.

>I'm not sure but I'm going to guess that's because most of them are underage edgelords, and I do mean edgelords, not even nerds - nerds are studying. They're almost universally the shitty jocks and chads, the ones that think they're cool for griefing and, key point, don't fucking grow out of it by the time they're twelve.

I don't know, man, but you can't have a good international multiplayer game without Chinese (and Russians) shitting it up. In MMOs, you're pretty much known as gold farmers, and in literally anything else, Chinese (and again, Russians) are known to hack and shit up servers. And it almost always seems to be the Chinese (and Russians). Not even memeing here about "muh America-China-Russia rivalry".

It has to be edgelords, I couldn't see anyone sensible being that much of pieces of shit.

If I could make a suggestion go for Nationalist china in DH. The reason being is they have a crap ton of events and choices including a mini game of sorts of beating the commies early. If you do that join the allies and help retake Europe. One of my most recent games I did that and barely managed to push back the tides in africa before marching through iran into the Caucasus and liberate Europe. Shit was fun.

Totally every great power is against you. If the war does come simply wait for the treaty of whatever its called to white peace the war after about 10 years or so.

>>162409043
I don't bitch out and abandon my AARs. Granted, I've only done two so far, and the CK2 AAR did end early, but it did so because I got OP, and it was ended more-or-less by popular consensus. If something gets voted for, I'll play it. It might wind up with me just getting stomped if it's a rough start like Nat. China, but I'll still do it to its logical conclusion.

>>162409462
It sounds like it. If you want me to go for that, just vote for one of the two vanilla DH options. Like I said, this poll isn't necessarily final, and if one particular game gets a lot of attention, even if it doesn't win I'll probably note that and do another poll with it included.

>>162409291
80% of this will not be accomplished

There are currently 18.56 million Romanians living within Romania. Genocide has been conducted regularly since the 1880's and has done a pretty good job of clearing out the minorities. There are also an additional 112k Romanians living in the Romanian Congo (which I released as a puppet to hopefully encourage all of my migrants to go solely to the genocided territories).

I took the Ali reforms too, but you can westernize by the same year by making good use of conquest RPs. I took the foreign universities reform by 1852 IIRC.
I'm not quite sure, but I think the basic rule for conquest RPs is that you want to conquer a populous region, not quite sure if said region was from a primitive or fully westernized nation matters much.

what reforms should i focus on when starting egypt?

>>162412437
33. Also as a slight warning if you think its a negative if you do beat the commies early you can unite China early and be very strong when Japan invades. But when Japan invades your units get massive negatives for about 6 months which make it near impossible to hold at the border.

Russia not only allied but also sphered the Ottomans in my game. Luckly enough, France sphered me in my independence war.
Even though they cucked me out of Tunisia after I forcefully released it from the Ottomans by myself, refused to help me in the devastating war against the British, reduced my tariff income by 3/4s and nearly built the fucking Canal, they probably saved me from the Russians.

>>162403587
>There was the identity of being 'Chinese' but it was more of a club you applied to join by acting Chinese than an actual nation. China was a civilization and a concept, it wasn't a nation and therefore literally could not have nationalism. There might've been 'patriotism', but even that doesn't really work in the same way.

China back then sounds very much like the EU today. People are aware they are part of the EU and they might even be aware that they're culturally closer to Europeans than to anyone else but no one would today seriously describe themselves as "European" before they'd describe themselves as "German" or "Italian" or "English" or whatever.

Hopefully that can change in Europe as well. Though I don't think the national cultures should ever be abandoned

That's the other thing, I don't get how I'm supposed to use the terrain. If I park on a river in hopes they cross to attack me, they just fucking take all the land around the river and avoid me.

Guys I need help. I pirated EU4 (the codex version with rights of man) and wanted to download the extended timeline mod as well using the steam workshop downloader site. After downloading, I do as you would usually do install mods, put the director.mod file in the mod folder and rename it after the mod you're using. Now the problem is that extended timeline shows up on my mod list in the launcher and when I go ingame the mod is "active", but the starting dates etc are not present. Same with the nation builder unlimited mod. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Build as many stacks of 4art 1cav as you can, mobilize once you've finished doing so and have around 150k pounds stocked, then give 5 mobilized infantry to each 4art 1cav stack. After that, leave one of them in the Lebanese mountains, one of them beneath it, another in Jerusalem and the rest behind Suez, with one designated to sieging Libya. Fund your navy 100% and leave them in the Crete sea for as long as you can, they usually win many battles there but they'll end up falling apart with time. And, of course, swap generals for the best morale and attack/defence bonus as you can at all times, and get them when they're weak (i.e. throw a 30k stack with a good attacking general in the semi-desert when there's a full infantry Ottoman division sieging there with less than 20k men, then quickly get them out of there).

Many cultures being under a contigous common rule for thousands of years will do that for you, and probably would have had the same result in Europe if Rome hadn't fallen. For it to naturally happen is probably an impossibility because of technology.

>>162415859
Notice how you shouldn't even mind with attrition until the Ottomans have no stacks left, if you're able to finish off any amount of Ottoman divisions while sacrificing an equal or smaller amoung of Egyptians, do it.
Hills don't offer enough protection, don't use them. And pay attention to the Romanian armies, they're usually stronger than the Ottoman armies.

Fair enough. I've always thought Europe would have been ridiculously great and unstoppable in the 19th century if it had been permanently united under French leadership. it would be like the EU but at the time when Europe was million times more powerful than any other place on Earth but all of them together.

I've never liked the nazis or the weird worship of them, ironic or not. They were retarded incompetent paranoid cunts that did more damage to Europe and European civilization than the Mongols and the Russians combined including nearly destroying most of the civilization.

And if you're right wing you should especially hate them since they have made it incredibly difficult to downright impossible to be against certain things, like mass immigration or cultural suicide, without being branded a fucking nazi. \

Also the German science at the start of the 20th century was insane, it was literally filled with people that were wrote the book on their chosen subject, Germany beat both the US and the UK in terms of science before World War One. After the nazis, though, there was basically nothing left and everything had to be rebuilt from scratch.

What should Napoleon's endgame have been?

>>162416894
Trust me, I don't envy the Nazis whatsoever. While I think Hitler did a good job getting Germany back on its feet, I feel that he overreached too far. He was better as a domestic civilian leader than he was a military leader, but he definitely made things worse going forward.

Personally, though, I'm more in the belief that World War I should not have ended as disastrously as it did for Germany, as it created the conditions that led into WWII. Austria-Hungary's dissolution was inevitable, but Germany was a stable, mostly homogeneous state. Alsace-Lorraine is debatable, but splitting a corridor for Poland into the sea was a severe disaster, along with the harsh stipulations laid upon Germany in general in Versailles.

Versailles was a mistake, and honestly, the Brits and French needed to learn some humility. Instead, they got greedy at the table and took most of the rewards for themselves, including colonies in the Middle East, Africa, and the Pacific, while giving little in compensation to Italy, Japan, and everyone else who participated. There was also little effort to actually enforce some portions of the peace deals, only those that applied to Britain and France.

I definitely say that although there is no true thing as "good guys," the closest thing to the good guys lost World War I. France and Britain had both shed blood in Europe like Germany, yet all their lessons and humility vanished at the peace table.

And I should add that I am aware that not all the peace deals were arranged in Versailles. I'm just speaking in general that it was a fucking disaster and that had they followed Wilson's 14 Points, maybe there would have been less tension.

So Crusader Kings II.

Game had worked in the past on my computer but I recall having numerous issues getting it working. (Exe not found, few other things.) But I did eventually get it working.

Time passes and I got the urge to play again today and went to launch it.
>New loading screen featuring a Reaper
>Loading Databases
>Crash

>tried verifying files and it apparently removed the exe
so that's fun.

If memory serves, the fix applied in the past was just to pirate the damn game and toss some of those files into the Steam copy to get it working properly.

Any alternatives?

There was a study they mentioned on Daily Planet where they found that people prefer to have one-night stands with people who look different from their family, while they would prefer to long-term relationships with others who look similar.

Too vague. What is your situation? are you in the HRE?

Nobody believed the Chinese could actually found a colony Indonesia, the absolute madmen.

Britain CK2 games get boring as fuck, especially when played as an EU4 tier blobber. I only enjoy marrying for titles and very occasionally warring for strong claims.

scrubbing it up as Castille, want to push into europe/africa and let vassal portugal do the colonizing for me. I'd really want influence but Iberian Wedding fired really early (1460) so I'm really hurting for relations slots and Diplomatic gets the extra one much earlier

Influence looks better long term but I'll need more allies to get rid of France early

Influence is a much better idea group if you are grabbing vassals then annexing them. Also the AE reduction is so helpful. Whereas Diplo is for picking up a lot of alliances. Honestly you don't need a lot of allies if you got early wedding and portuguese vassal. You need like one or two.

You mean

>Moorish rape babies (Toulouse)
>More Moorish rape babies (Sicily)
>Turkish rape babies (Greeks)

That's what I've been thinking, but France has Provence and Genoa which could prove annoying.

Luckily Austria and Burgundy don't hate each other so I guess I could just grab them both and take the dip hit for a while, thanks.
