i've decided to do a new playthrough and focus completely on military might, i want the biggest levies with sufficient tax to maintain it should i wage war that can last long.

Thinking about going full 7 holding castle in bruggle or something.

Pretty much lost the last playthrough as a scandiavian emperror even with reformed germanic faith (+30% larger levy) a lot of my vassals took an ungodly amount of time to adopt feudalism (despite not needing stone hillfort for AI vassals) to a war with the karlings united francia empire. There wasn't enough mercenaries in the world to save me from this war, i focused on tax, built all cities, had a ton of money, but the fucking karling shit tier stat king scrapped the floor with me because of his overwhelming numbers.

Tips?

Here's my tip for you, as a Scandinavian Reformed Germanic Ruler, if you want to conquer the world, step by step:
>Create your Scandinavian Blob
>Do what you can to reform the faith
>Fuck bitches, get money
>Split all lands you don't explicitly need up between your sons until you're bellow the holding limit for prepared invasion (either give them king titles without getting the Emperor title yourself, or just grant them independence)
>Invade the fuck out of Scotland, effectively taking out the biggest stable powerhouse in Britannia
>It might have tribal holdings only, but it's far enough from the Karlings that they can't do anything about you, and you can start subjugating neighbouring petty kingdoms one holy war at a time
If you make sure to not attack Anglo-Saxons who married into the Karling or other major houses of Europe, there should be nothing stopping you from building a massive military powerhouse conquering the feudal lands of Britain.
By the time you advance south enough that the Karlings can attack you without a claim on your titles, you'll be strong enough to fight them off, and the Reformed Germanic kingdoms you've left with your sons previously will likely be shitting all over them too

Go and make Ragnarr proud!

Uhh.. you realise that 19th Century liberalism eventually and slowly led to modern day liberalism. You can't call yourself a 'classical liberal' and decry modern liberals when modern liberals evolved from classical ones.

The whole progression of liberalism from 19th Century to now is a textbook example of why the slippery slope is actually real.

Yeah sure :^)

>>163507609
>x didn't lead to x^2
Not him but it's an interesting fact that the functions f = x^n and g= x^k where both n and k are integers have a correlation value of zero.

Linear algebra is a field of study though and a very basic one that sees use everywhere. One of the most common things you do when analyzing functions is to linearize them. x^2 is unrelated to x, but linear algebra can deal with x^2 just fine.

See that's the problem, because I personally never minded the bloat and just turned off the features I disliked by commenting out the lines. I either played MEIOU or Vanilla (DW) in EU3. I'm just alerting you that it's often considered to be overbloated.

What Paradox could've done to make HoI 4 an improvement over HoI 3:
>Change the interface (especially for OoB) to make everything more transparant
>Rebalance the navy so aircraft carriers aren't the only thing worth building and destroyers aren't utterly useless
>Properly implement strategic warfare, allowing you to force an enemy to submit purely by cutting their trade and bombing them into surrendering, if sustained long enough/done effectively enough
>Change the OoB AI, allowing you to map out more complex manouvres and execute them without having to micromanage

What they actually did
>Dumb down the entire game, removing the entire OoB (this is what we call flushing the baby down with the bathwater)
>Remove strategic warfare altogether, blockades and bombardments now do nothing to lower enemy national unity
>Remove espionage entirely
>Change factions so that only the faction leader can meaningfully do anything
>Force you to pay 20 bucks for a DLC just so you can fucking ask your allies for Lend-Lease

I need some professional military and geopolitical advice from you, /gsg/.

Currently playing CK2, started as duke of Puglia in 1066, created a custom Roman character and dynasty with the intent of restoring the Roman Empire under a Roman (no Greeks allowed). Everything went pretty smooth, managed to inherit extra land from the HRE early on even though it looks a disgusting.

Now I've got a chance to take over the Byzantine Empire. I've arranged for a daughter to matrilineally marry a claimant of the throne. The current Emperor is a 7 year old child hiding from a slow fever epidemic. He has about 27-30k troops on his side and would probably go bankrupt as well if I did enough damage while I have 35k troops (41k if I wait a bit more) so I would most likely succeed in the invasion.

But the main question is - do I wait until my daughter has a son so I can guarantee the empire belonging to my dynasty or should I just say fuck it and invade now?

Daily reminder that Charlemagne is a perfectly good start.

im pretty sure bankruptcy doesnt affect the AI

The biggest travesty of all.

>>163524493
Yeah it's kinda racist I guess. It's true that they way they are represented is wrong and that it might have been more primitive. But that is not really because blacks are inherently dumb. It has more to do with the fact that Africa has a geography that makes empire building harder.

To be honest while their social structures where different, they were different to European models. Mali for example was modeled of the Arabs in order to trade better. It's more an issue of the game more than an issue of race.

tbdesu I have a strong feeling that zebras are actually roughly equivalent in terms of domesticatability compared to horses as they were when humans first started using them, and that the modern differences have to do with long term selective breeding by Eurasians

Well it's true that humans have bred horses you can see in wild horses that they have a useful herd structure that zebras don't have.

Also saying that black never got further than mud huts and phallic designs on their primitive bronze age weaponry is easely disproven by a quick wikiepedia search.

Also don't mistake me for some SJW dude I personally think immigration should be restricted etc but you have to understand that it is not the genes of blacks that made them to the "barbarians" we see today. It was caused by history and geography.

Blacks were less developed for the same reason native Americans where.
Geography.
The reasons are to many to list but some examples would be that the Sahara and jungles of Africa slowed down the spread of domestic animals and crops as well as other technology. Most of the important crops and animals we whites use are not native to Europe but they proved suitable to be grown and raised there unlike Africa.

Now of course cultural history also impacted the history and I think it's fair to blame certain black cultural elements such as slavery and Islam in the north for why they developed more slowly but that still does not justify racism because culture is not something in our genes.

Serious question, how relevant were the tribal Slavs really, for Western/Mediterranean Europe?

I lost interest in the game some time after Common Sense came out, but I've been thinking about giving it another shot with the newest expansion.

That's more of what happened, you had dunces who would set centuries-old treatises and historical records down in all sorts of places and either ruin them with fucking wine stains or use them as firewood. I exaggerate, but if they weren't in monasteries, they were never going to survive long, and even then, you had to worry about raiders deciding "fuck it, let's raid this monastery and burn all this knowledge, it's worthless to us anyway."

>Serious question, how relevant were the tribal Slavs really, for Western/Mediterranean Europe? CK doesn't represent this kind of border tension remotely well at all, and I kind just assumed that for the most part, they were just kind of "there," doing their thing, like the Taureg nomads of the Sahara or whatever

Honest answer? They were of some relevance. Charlemagne made some tributary states out of bordering Slavs and the Serbs/Croats along the Adriatic divided any physical connection between the Byzantines and the rest of "civilized" Europe. Additionally, some of them actually were used by Charlemagne when the Saxons did their thing against him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne#Avar_campaigns

They were no less a threat than the Avars, but they were more divided between tribes. They could still raid plenty, though, and Charlemagne pretty much made bordering Slavs tribute states.

>[blacks never got further than [whatever]] is easely disproven by a quick wikiepedia search.
I never said that exactly, I said that the blacks who lived in the same regions as zebras as according to the map I posted didn't get much further than that on their own. I know there were things going on in Ethiopia and West Africa, but any further South of the Equator and there really is no civilization to be found.

>it is not the genes of blacks that made them to the "barbarians" we see today. It was caused by history and geography.
Honestly, this is just spouting the same opinion of Jared Diamond in his shitty Guns Germs and Steel book. His "theory" isn't anything new, it's called "Environmental Determinism", a viewpoint generally considered outdated or debunked by the majority of academia, mainly because when it was relevant over a century ago "It was used to justify colonialism/racism/eugenics/[things liberals hate]." This ED explanation took the shape of:

>These Africans are pretty useless and haven't done anything, whereas we Europeans have accomplished much and can easily conquer them. The different environments seem to be the key difference shaping human groups over time, and explains our obvious superiority and their inferiorities

Jared Diamond has just subverted the logic used in order to produce a Politically Correct version for the modern age that goes like:
>Different environments are the key factor in explaining civilizational difference. This explains why there have been different outcomes for different groups, and I will conclude by stating that the intelligence of these claiming that Africans/Papua New Guineans/etc is actually the same (or greater!) to Europeans and that the same thing would've happened if native Europeans and Africans swapped places

Coincidentally, Jared Diamond is Jewish.
