The Japanese will probably invade you.

When that happens put every unit in a stack and head for Mukden (that VP in the centre of Manchuria), when you take it you autowin the war. (Impossible to win otherwise)

At what point did CK2 stop being a medieval history simulator and became a fantasy game instead?

>>164944146
Paradox has been going full fantasy lately. Just look at hoi4. You can turn Nazi Germany into a communist shit hole in two years.

When TOG was released, it was the start of the whole TRIBAL STRONK era where shit just got ridiculous. The previous DLCs were unbalanced but TOG was a new level of bullshittery.
>>
>>164943671
I tried it, it isn't.
Too low development provinces means no way you can afford the upkeep of more than 1 colony. Portugal, Castille and England will all shit over you since from diplo tech 7 onward they all will have the colonial range to reach America. Your superior geographical position mean nothing.
>>
>>164944235
While I like that HoI4 has expanded politics instead of them just being for appearance like in HoI3, I would prefer if it accounted for things realistically. I think turning a democratic nation into fascism makes sense, there was actually an almost successful fascist coup in the US if that one General didn't puss out. HOWEVER, Nazi Germany and USSR had their ideologies in-grained. Anyone that could've revolted against Hitler or Stalin, respectively, was long gone by 1936 and those regimes could only be brought down from the outside, not the inside.

Yeah I completely agree. Everything in the game enforces this "time race" thing.
The being late on tech timer, the way colonization works and even the music is trying to invoke some sort of feeling of constant brewing.

I can never relax while playing EU4, there is always some more bullshit minmaxing micromanagement to do in order to keep me busy.

Even if you don't blob, your rivals sure as shit are and that puts your nation at risk of being overrun later on.

A lot of it doesn't make any sense either. This is before the age of nationalism but the Germans of say, Holstein, aren't going to take well to being ruled by a bunch of filthy French and Anglos. Same with Epic Byzantium. Unless you managed to restore it in CK2, in EU4 at most you should be able to maintain Greece borders. I imagine realistically if it -did- take the Balkans, it'd be a weird proto-Yugoslavia mixed with HRE thing where Greeks, Bulgarians and Serbs compete within it over who's gonna be the Roman Emperor.

>>164945598
That's what we are discussing here. Besides blobbing there is nothing else to do. Playing tall is still virtually impossible because of increasing monarch point costs for development. At 33 development in a farmland province you'll be paying 100 monarch points to increase either 1 base tax, production or military. Its just not worth it.

>>164945781
This could be fixed with an event-like mode like Kaiserreich but most EU4 mods are FuN Nicholas Cage Putin Empire xDDD. The only mod I know that's remotely a 'kaiserreich of EU4' is Elysium and even then after you've blobbed back into Europe, there's not much to do.

>>164945781

You end up having to do this in all of your Non-European playthroughs in order to get institutions in your country anyways.

Jesus Christ he's a really fucking slow player. How do people find the time to watch a series of videos like that? I can understand wanting to narrate and explain your moves, especially if you're an experienced player, but it takes so long for him to set everything up. Almost 8 minutes just to unpause the fucking game? It's not like you have much to do as a small tribal ruler with a handful of vassals.

The modern day mod really reminds me how stupid the HoI4 faction and war goal system is for any period other than WWII or WWI.

You can fight only wars of extermination and they cannot be stopped until one side capitulates. Victoria 2 is so much better for a modern day mod than HoI4.

early on if the Second ACW happens (which i think there is a 100% chance of it happening unless the US is a PC), Canada can seize New England, and also gets the chance of releasing it as a puppet.

>Probably in no other country in the world has life and property been so secure as all over Paraguay during his (Antonio Lopez's) reign. Crime was almost unknown, and when committed, immediately detected and punished. The mass of the people was, perhaps, the happiest in existence. They had hardly to do any work to gain a livelihood. Each family had its house or hut in its own ground. They planted, in a few days, enough tobacco, maize and mandioca for their own consumption [...]. Having at every hut a grove of oranges [...] and also a few cows, they were almost throughout the year under little necessity [...]. The higher classes, of course, lived more in an European way.

>He actually believes in paraguayan propaganda
I do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_of_Humait%C3%A1
>Militarily, Carlos Antonio López modernized and expanded industry and the Paraguayan Army and greatly strengthened the strategic defences of Paraguay by developing the Fortress of Humaitá.[17] The government hired more than 200 foreign technicians, who installed telegraph lines and railroads to aid the expanding steel, textile, paper and ink, naval construction, weapons and gunpowder industries. The Ybycuí foundry, completed in 1850, manufactured cannons, mortars and bullets of all calibers. River warships were built in the shipyards of Asunción. Fortifications were built, especially along the Apa River and in Gran Chaco.[18]:22 The work was continued by his son Francisco Solano.

Don't you think developing one of the best/largest mlitaries in SA, as well as being self sufficient, was an achievement for a small country like paraguay?

Paraguay was not self-sufficient, with the bulk of its economy being based on the exportation of erva-mate and wood, which the profit belonged to the Lopez family(little more than garden-variaty caudillos that owned most of Paraguay land) which used it to fund the military expansion. Furthermore, there is no evidence of Paraguay having a meaningful industrial base of any kind, technical expertise in running it, or it being capable of feeding it(after all, Paraguay had little acess to coal and iron, fundamental for any industrialized nation).
In fact, claims of the "Industrial Paraguay" mostly comes from the paraguayan military regime formed over 80 years after the war end, in which the López family were raised to status of national heroes by the regime and any criticism on them was regarded as treason.

"After the 30-years war instead of Brandenburg/ Preußen, Saxony is the state that turns
after several conflicts between the 17th and 19th century into a great power and becomes
the biggest german rival of Austria.

From 1850 to 1857 Saxony defeats Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and at the end France
and was finally able to unite most of the german states and creates the German Empire.

Poland having great relations to Saxony is never a target of war and got even a lot of
support against Russia often in history. The eastern border is beside tiny changes rather
stable for many centuries. East Prussia turned into an own state, they developed their
own identity and deny to be Germans (parallel to real Austria in OTL).

I created a lot of alternate borders for all the german states, as the rise of Saxony and
different wars also shaped the german states differently.

Austria never overtook Hungary and lost the crown again and instead invaded Italy several times,
which avoided an italian unification up until now. But when the german unification happened, most of
the territories became independant from Austria."

You mean when 95% of the realms were unplayable? I'd say pre-Rajas, then you're spot on.
>>
>>164988502
Why?
>>
>>164992358
I remembered the numbers on the map, there were 100 units of oil I controlled in Romania, and after the tech there were 100 units. But maybe it's because I'm playing the BlackIce mod and it appears to be completely fucked right now.
>>
>>164992437
You didn't love Sunset Invasion? :^)

>>164991697
CK2 was actually harder on release, i noticed Paradox really toned down how agressive ai is later on - mainly because i enjoy playing Jerusalem and on release you were combating Jihads 95% of time and if you dont break either Egypt or Damascus or Arabs stop infighting your screwed.

Now im kinda well...left alone most of the time and pope VERY rarely gives you free dosh.

I didn't get into CK2 until early 2014 (I think) and it quickly became my favorite game, then after playing a hundred hours or so Rajas dropped and it's only gotten steadily worse. I thought Charlemagne would be the last DLC but Paradox's kikery knows no bounds. Now I pretty much only play Vicky and CK2 with GoT mod.

In CK2 I play less to blob and more to try and create and intriguing story. Last game I played I slowly became a duke after a few generations, always roleplaying, a guy fled to my court so I took him on as a squire and he became a Kingsguard and his son died defending me in a trial by combat. It's more intriguing than the base game imo. I usually advance to Warden of the North or something at the most then if I get traits like cruel and stuff I might get a rebellion that throws me off the throne, and I'll risk a lot to take back lands my ancestors used to rule and stuff like that.

Had Whigs for awhile that shat up my economy, I was still above Prussia pro but when he formed Germany and Liberals FINALLY got interventionism, it was too late. I'm catching up to him though.

Prestige is easy to get later game, and I've had colonial related events giving prestige every other month it seems. Owning both canals helps as well (The Panama one was still un built by 1905, and I was lucky enough to back Panama in a crisis against a Columbia left all by themselves.)
Military and Industry are slightly similar story. Through pop growth techs and events, I'm sitting at 45.76 million North, South, and Maltese Italians. 13 million craftsmen and clerks run this bitch. a 900,000 strong professional army's been tearing through everything.

I did, but I just gave up.

Would've stopped Germany if France didn't side with Spain in favor of Egypt. It's the sole reason why I actually joined the Prussia pro war on the side of Prussia.

And sure, but prestige score doesn't really matter when you got industry and military. I was number one up until Germany formed.
>>
>>164999560
Auto-didactical, which is easily noticeable when you look at my older flags and see that they are much worse than my newer ones; although you won't find the former anymore since I've replaced the bad ones with better ones now that I have enough skill to do a better job.

>>164999646
If I did that I'd be breaking the rule of tincture, which I really shouldn't do considering the flag is literally a CoA turned into a flag. I could either put it on a white or gold background, or use a white or gold cross instead.

KRHashemite1949 - Plans.png
208KB, 4500x2234px
Just played a game as Hashemite Arabia in KR, allied with Persia and Egypt to fuck up the Ottomans, took the Levant with my cavalry. The Reich fucked up France early, the American Civil never happened, Russia joined MittleEuropa and fucked up Japan, syndicalists got beat down pretty much everywhere.

I puppeted Turkey, moved the capital to Damascus, backstabbed the Persians and puppeted them. Then I backstabbed the Egyptians, annexed them along with Lybia and Sudan. Didn't form the Sharifian Caliphate. Puppeted Ethiopia and Somalia, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia, snatched up Oman and Yemen.

At that point I took a breather to modernise and develop. The Entente was struggling to put down the syndies in India, National France was looking weak, and they held rightfully Arab land. So I attacked in 1945. Rapidly took over National France thanks again to my cavalry. Annexed them, released Guinea. Then I turned to India. They were still struggling with the syndies, and slogging through all these poorly equipped men was more of a chore than anything. Divided up India, occasionally fucked up Canadian and Australian marines, but mostly turtelled up.

So now I turn to MittleEuropa, as there is still a lot of Muslim land to liberate from the European imperialists. But at this point, everything from Gibraltar to Seoul is part of the German alliance. Tried to think of a way to manage to do it, but I just can't. I don't have the strength, industrial capacity, tech, or navy to take on France, Germany, China, and Russia at the same time. The Africa and Central Asia would be logistical nightmares, and so far I haven't had to fight defensively on a large scale, not to mention Russian/Chinese manpower.

Here's a map. I might try to get Indonesia from the Netherlands. But it would mean more ground and sea to defend later, and getting back to direct fighting with the Entente.

I think I might give up, but it was fun. I kinda regret not forming a new caliphate.

3. Looks too blocky without Van
Van and it's 16,000 Armenians will be ruled from Tehran.
Besides, 99.9% sure either from Turkish or Kurdish rebels Armenia will be dead within a year or two. Even then, with how aggressive the AI's been, I will not be surprised if Persia's establishing a protectorate on the rest of Iraq soon.

They've essentially been completely exterminated within my own borders, probably less than 20,000 remain in Russia.
Progress has unfortunately slowed in China proper, as I had hoped to to kick off mass emigration by occupation only to find that all the warlord states have closed borders. Although, immediately prior to this I did have great success in killing I believe at least 2 million pops via quashing rebellions in the Qing empire.
I've sphered Guangxi, which broke off from Qing some time ago and civilized, and I'll leave them alone.
Now I'm hoping mass rebellions change the situation to one more conducive to extermination.

Here's South Africa. Oranje and Transvaal kicked the Brits out when the scripted war fired, and the nearest British troops were on another coninent. Blitzed British S.

Though I suppose to help, I should ask - what is the situation with this Italian occupied Korea? Is it a recent colonial conquest? Is it a centuries old sort of arrangement that grew out of an earlier era pre-united Italy? Do you want the flag to be standard Italian flag in the canton and a symbol in the field?

Pops. British make up 5.5%, and they are all slowly assimilating to Boer. When including the Brits, the few Irish around, even so Afro-Caribbean laying around, and even some native pops, (like 10 gold mining all needs met natives), I'd say a few hundred assimilate a month, 400 maybe? 421,000 adult Boers though, pretty nice. They make like 121 from gold provinces alone, pretty nice

Thanks! Yeah, you might be right, maybe after another year of preparation and letting my puppets gear up, we might have enough men to defend the Alborz, Hindu Kush, Himalayas, etc, and let the Russian and Chinese exhaust themselves.

Taking the German/Spanish posssessions in the Horn and in North Africa should be pretty easy, same with Ceylon. Malaysia might be more complicated, depending on their combined naval forces.

Taking MittleAfrika might be more problematic, though. They are not strong, but so fucking huge. I might try a quick attack then stabilize the front at some natural defense point.

Now, the final problem is the possibility of MittleEuropa naval invasions. My small navy is utter shit, and I'm pretty sure the Germans has beaten all the British navy years ago. I guess I'd just have to fortify, garrison and constantly keep an eye on North Africa, but it's going to tie up so much precious manpower.

And that's just the first phase of the war. If the objectif is to liberate the subjugated muslim world, I'll have to push in Central Asia. It would be constant warfare until the end of the game, there's no way I can force a complete surrender.

I do have one advantage, though. I have all the oil.They don't have much. And it's 1949, most of their armies are pretty heavily motorised.

I'll give it a shot. Trying to hold might be fun.

Pretty much. In my game, it occurred after an expedition against the Qing resulted in an independent Korea that was subsequently annexed by Italy.

I feel like a coat of arms specific to the colony in the middle of the tricolor would be more historically accurate than a British-esque ensign.

It wasn't necessarily global, since there weren't any colonies in the Americas, India, etc. If you wanted to emphasize how far-flung it is, you could incorporate elements from Italy's naval ensign.

It bothers me that there's no decision to rename the Namibian and Rhodesian colonies. Even giving them the German/British names would make more sense.

I came up with this.

It has the trigrams from the Korean Empire flag, the globe I borrowed from the Portuguese Empire flag, but replaced the CoA with that of the Savoy, and replaced its crown with the Heraldic Italian Kingdom Crown.

I think you can form a Pan-Arab union, but not as Hashemite Arabia. Don't know if they get cores, though.

>>165007705
There's a few in early game. You get events to form an alliance with Persia and Egypt, to trigger a revolt in Ottoman Arabia, you get refugees from the Levant. Once the war with the Ottomans is done, you can move your capital to a few places, and reform the Hashite government (which is where you can create a caliphate). After that, there's a decision to backstab the Persians to get the bit of Iraq that was awarded to them. Once that war is done, you get an event making Syria and Iraq a bit better.

But that's it. Everything after that, I did manually.

France is out, and I'm in a pickle now. The USA will peace out for just the GW Capitulation, but if I wait until July, the Soviets will join and China can be dismantled. Should I pick apart the chinks?
>>165007698
Three times so far, first two religious cause fuck Italian Jews. It's mainly due to a shitton of Italians on the mainland, and unemployment in some areas reaching 30% (for RGOs) That 400% bonus to mine and farm size makes it attractive,especially the rubber and gold RGOs I have there.
>>165007973
Nice

>>165008303
This is a pretty good design. Would it be possible to make the trigrams and the globe's background the Italian flag's shade of green?

You have to be more specific, how do you want the seal to look? Most countries had a "flag in the canton" thing for colonies, not just Britain.

I actually did try that before, but I don't think the green combines well with the indigo from the CoA's borders. It's up to you though.

That looks excellent! If you could remove the globe and center the coat of arms and crown a bit more, it would be perfect.

I like to imagine, since pops essentially represent just the working-age male population, that a good deal of Japanese women were keep for breeding purposes to repopulate Russian Japan (Япoния)
