Aside from my good expansionist start and prestige I'm barely scraping by and I might actually go bankrupt, since I refuse to have anything less than 100% education spending, because I know once pops in BA get 50% literate I can start having capitalists and clerks meaning I'll encourage them and craftsmen there and get some industry going.

Of course you should do it yourself. The battle planner is literally just useful to kickstart the invasion so you don't have to manually tell every single division to attack and to attack in a specific direction but once the invasion starts, and especially if the enemy lines collapse, it's completely useless.

OK does anyone know how the hell this actually does? I tried the state religion reform and it didn't seem to do shit (Pops kept converting to secularism) so I reloaded. I'm assuming it's because my party's platform is Secularized, but it doesn't make any sense that the reform does literally nothing. Not to mention, every party is either secularized or atheist except the traditionalists who are impossible to elect, and I'm not totally sure if even getting them into power would do anything. And what is the Secularism reform supposed to do when I'm already secular?

Look, pal, there's no need to react this way. It's objectively a bad game made solely to get money, if it wasn't it wouldn't have lost 80% of their playerbase in two weeks. If you want to spout memes and try to make this partisan then that's your prerogative, the fact is anyone not lacking in critical thinking or a shitpoater realises HoI4 simply isn't good.

>>163565273
Uh, Islamic countries don't have secularism too, right?

>State religion just raises the cap on pop growth a little bit so that you get the birth effects of lower literacy at slightly higher levels
Are you talking about party policy? where secularism/atheism gives -0.01% pop growth, and moralism is flat with no penalty. If not what do you mean by cap on pop growth?

How do you get over the "retro" UI?

>>163565364
Downfall, great mod but the map is atroctious

>>163565648
Everyone has secularism, muslims just dont convert at all

Nah, those "family values" province modifiers for pop growth are based on your literacy, state religion makes it so it gives you the 5% growth bonus at like 10% literacy for example. Just don't go above 20% literacy in any province, it fucks up your growth forever

>>163565709
What does the mod do, exactly? My experience with HoI3 mods extends to "hpp too little, bi too much".

>>163565648
No. This includes Turkey, Albania, Indonesia, Bosnia, Azerbaijan (one of the most irreligious countries in the world, statistically speaking) and so on.

>>163565883
>Azerbaijan (one of the most irreligious countries in the world, statistically speaking)
Is it more atheistic than Czechia or Estonia? Because I somehow doubt that.

>>163565695
I guess I'm just used to old games. It's not as bad as you'd think, but even something like vanilla EU3 is a lot more intuitive.

Actually it's because Christianity is weak and feeble horse, regardless of state boundaries :^)

And technically, a POP being "secularized" doesn't actually refer to a POP being irreligious or atheist necessarily, rather it is used as a catchall catagorization to represent the growing irrelevance of major religions in the modern world in their power in meaningfully shaping people's lives, belief system and values. So it equally represents "moderate muslims if it were possible to assimilate any", "cultural Christians," pic related, atheists and so on.

I'm not talking about protestantism, that's doomed. Catholicism and Orthodoxy have both been very good at surviving and growing, church attendance in Greece has actually gone up since they completely shit themselves, and areas like Poland actually got even more Catholic when state atheism was attempted.

Both of these are in the time periods of the game, and the fact that you could make Persia a massively educated democracy and one of the great powers in the late 2000s while still having shia state religion is retarded.

Personally I just think there should be normal state religions for all countries and then an event around 10-20% higher education to make it secularism

I believe the idea is that the court doesn't know the character is a eunuch, or they publicly deny it. When you find your wife cheating there are two options, "this is high treason" (become rival with bull and can legally imprison him and wife, pope will always grant divorce) or "By god, I had better keep this quiet!" (Pretend the son is yours).

Doing the second will let you have a legal son.

Not really, in modern day religion really survives in educated countries by being part of its national heritage. Catholicism is completely ingrained into areas like Malta and Poland, and there is thousands of years of history in those areas. It can also survive if its in an us vs them mentality, but that just makes it part of the culture then. Although that might not be fully it, since areas with 500 years of Protestantism drop it pretty damn fast

Gudrod Crovan, of both Norwegian and Irish descent, has finally succeeded in expanding his Kingdom of Mann and the Isles to include his birthright, the Kingdom of Dublin. The day of the Norwegian conquerors is over, dead with the failure of Harald Hårdråde at Stamford Bridge, but Gudrod Crovan believes in turning back that clock. From his foothold in Dublin, he seeks to expand and name himself Ard Rí ua Éire, High King of Ireland. But Gudrod is not without other troubles. He holds lands that Malcolm Dunkeld calls his own, and the Scottish king will not back down from his own birthright easily.

However, before Gudrod can focus on imposing his reign on the island of Éire he must first secure the succession of his throne. His wife Ragnhild, sister to the current Norwegian King Olav III, has yet to produce Gudrod an heir and is past the age of childbearing. Gudrod has sent an envoy to Pope Urbannus II to attempt to convince him to agree to a divorce between Gudrod and Ragnhild.

While waiting on word from his envoy, it comes to Gudrod's attention that his very own marshal Mac Congail seeks to rid the earth of Gudrod's current heir and only brother Domnall. Gudrod is in a precarious situation, Mac Congail has served Gudrod diligently as marshal but is without heir himself just as Gudrod however his current wife is of fertile age and by chance could provide Mac Congail with an heir of his own but should he pass from this life without an heir his holdings would be ursurped by Gudrod. By imprisoning Mac Congail Gudrod would be ensuring that the counties of Galloway and Carrick would fall firmly into his hands.

While on the warpath Gudrod receives a message from his envoy in Rome, hopeful that his Chancellor has made progress with the pope concerning a potential divorce. However, to the dismay of Gudrod the message alerts Gudrod to the passing of Pope Urbannus and to the ascension of Pope Ioannes XIX. Gudrod orders his chancellor to continue his efforts in Rome while he deals with the traitorous Mc Congail.

Gudrod and his army were able to intercept Mac Congail's outnumbered army at Loch Lomond. Known as the battle of Lennox Gudrod devastated Mac Congail's army, effectively splitting it in half and sending a defeated Mac Congail crawling back to Galloway with Gudrod following close behind.

Under the suggestion of his chancellor, Gudrod sent the pope a large gift in effort to further persuade the Pope to sanction the divorce. To the relief of Gudrod the bribe did its job and Pope Ioannes granted Gudrod his long sought after divorce. However Gudrod's kingdom is relatively poor and a small loan was taken out in order to pay for the bribe, it will take a long time before Gudrod would be able to rid himself of this financial burden.

Now freed of his barren wife, Gudrod arranges his marriage to the niece of King Olaf of Denmark, Ingegerd.

The imprisoned Mac Congail inhereited the counties of Vedrafjordr and Vesiafjord from his kinsman Wadter. With this development and Mac Congail still in chains due to his crimes against the crown, Gudrod takes the opportunity to finally make Mac Congail atone for his sins and sentences him to death.

This puts Gudrod in line to inherit a total of four counties in his personal demense, many more holdings than he can account for which will undoubtedly increase tension between him and his vassals. To quell the uproar of these inheritances Gudrod grants his brother Domnall the counties of Galloway and Carrick. These gains put Gudrod a few steps closer to his domination of the island of Éire.

Gudrod and Mael-Coluim would meet each other on the salty shores of Argyll. Mael-Coluim was able to catch Gilla-Brigte's army in an ambush while Gudrod's main force was on its way from the island of Myl, a short ways off the coast of argyll. Gilla-Brigte while suffering heavy losses was able to fend off Mael-Coluim long enough for Gudrod to join the fray. Under Gudrod's famed leadership, Mael-Coluim's army was devastated. The Battle of Inveraray wiped out over half of Mael-Coluim's army with minimal losses for Gudrod. After this battle Gudrod would march his troops to Mael-Coluim's capital holding of Gobharaidh.

Mael-Coluim's army, already having been devastated at the battle of Inveraray was tired and battle weary. Being outnumber almost 2-1 Mael-Coluim decided to put up a valiant last defense at the Battle of Threave, however it was for naught as Gudrod completely wiped out the Mael-Coluim's army with less than 300 losses. With the capture of Gobharaidh and two legendary battles under his belt Gudrod forced Mael-Coluim to surrender.

On March 27th, 1109 as Konungr Gudrod passed quietly in his sleep leaving 11 year old Skjalg as Konungr. His uncle Domnall would be appointed regent until his death two years later on the 27th of November, 1111. Domnall would be survived by his son and heir Brandub. Domnall proved to be an adept regent, effectively managing the affairs of the realm all while educating young Skjalg. Due to the weakened state of the Kingdom Domnall undoubtedly knew that opportunists would look towards Mann as easy pickings. To the east lay the Kingdom of Alba and to the Southwest lay the Kingdom of Tara. Domnall believed a war with both kingdoms a possibility. The duchy of Galloway was considered de jure part of the Kingdom of Alba while Vedrafjordr in southern Éire was considered de jure part of the Kingdom of Tara. Domnall however believed that war with Tara was more likely than war with Alba as the terrain of the Kingdoms holdings in western Scotland would provide ample defense from any encroaching army. Not to mention the Kingdom of Mann's Naval superiority would prevent any Scottish naval invasion on many of the islands held by the Kingdom. The Kingdom's holdings in Éire however could not boast the same terrain advantage as the holdings in the north. With the close proximity of Tara to many of the counties held by the Kingdom of Mann, Ard Ri Domnall of Tara could swiftly and effectively establish a superior position on the island and thus split the forces of the Kingdom of Mann in half. In response to these fears Regent Domnall arranged for the young Konungr Skjalg to marry Ard Ri Domnall's bastard daughter Mauda. Not only would this present Skjalg's children with a claim to the Kingdom of Tara but it also resulted in a non-aggression pact between the two Kingdoms.

On September 28th, 1113 Skjalg Crovan gained full control of his Kingdom after reaching maturity. Skjalg would prove to be a cautious ruler, avoiding conflict with many major Kingdoms in the area and establishing non-aggression pacts with the Kingdom of Alba and the Holy Roman Empire via marrying of his younger sisters.

People that have been in Europe at least 2500 years (i.e. "natives), Europe being defined as "the definition on Wikipedia, minus anything East of Constantinople," see pic, minus the Saami because they seem a bit shit. Assuming they don't have a significant amount non-European DNA. So while the majority of Spaniards/South Italians are white there's defintely a significant minority all around the Mediterranean the whole issue is a bit fuzzy.

As for the slavs who still qualify under these rules, I'm not sure how many of them there are since the great Slavic migrations have been a bit more recent (e.g. Pole's have only been in what is now Poland ~1500 years, same with the Balkans). Regardless, a lot of them are a bit shit so I'll just chalk it up to culture. Hitler had the right idea by Germanizing the best poles and kicking everyone else out.

"White" to me is a spectrum. At the top there's the few remaining "pure" whites, the Danish, the Dutch, the Boers, the Swedes and the Norwegians. Then there's the cross breeds between the Germanics and the non Germanics, the British (Anglo-Saxons), the French (Franks) Germans themselves (Raped by Slavs in 1945), North Italians (Lombards), and Catalans (Visigoths). Then at the very bottom there's the people who share little white blood. South Italians, Portuguese, Greeks, Icelandics (Innuit blood), Slavs, these people at the edge of Europe mixed with foreign hordes and lost most of their purity, they're white but just barely so.

Even further still are the remnants of the Spanish empire. You take that Visigoth/Moor mix and then add in a lot of Amerindian blood. The people there certainly aren't white by any reasonable measure, Argentina and Uruguay are more pure than the others though, at about 50%, with the rest being Moor and Amerindian.

The British colonies kept a lot purer, and as Celts are second to only Germanics these colonies like Australia, New Zealand and Canada can be considered white. America is hard to call as their expansion into Mestizo land and history of domestic slavery means well over half of their territory was liable to admixture, though policies like the one drop rule largely negated this factor in the south.

Even south Americans are preferable to Africans, though. Africans are the only race on Earth not capable of self governance, colonialism should never have been ended as this was the brightest period that sorry continent ever experienced. The only race less worthy of life than the Africans are the Jews, for their constant attempts to destroy other races and societies. If it were up to the hook nosed kikes the entirity of the world would be a mixed race blur, an easily controllable chattel class to serve the Yids. Sadly we are drifting closer and closer everyday to that eventuality. One day the only pures left will be them.
