I was being too optimistic, it looks like actual dumbness.

Removing such a huge population by either genocide or expulsion is unfeasible. You wouldn't anglify the Mestizo shitholes, you'd simply spanify the Nigger shithole.

Larger countries = more required bureaucracy. There's a reason shit doesn't work in places like China, Brazil, USA, Russia and other 3rd world blobs. So the whole thing would be worse than RL Mexico in this regard.

And let's not even talk about how an independent CSA would be a shithole due to the production system still being slavery-based, and that CSA would be required to pull this shit off.

>>165013329
Well, from a realistic point of view, had the US incorporated the Canadian provinces, they would have probably just added a star for every extra province, same with the islands.

That's what would historically most likely happen, however it's not very interesting so I can try to think of alternative designs if you want me to.

Anything you can tell me that could help me with it, you may tell me. I assume it's a republic, right?

>>165013040
Remove Shitzerland from the map for prettier borders.

>>165013570
Yeah, it's a republic. One thing that may or may not matter in your considerations is that literally the entire country has assimilated to American (Yankee/Dixie/Afro American) culture except for Quebec, which remains ~60% French Canadian

That would actually be a point in favour of the "just add more stars to it" plan, but still, it'd be boring. I'll try to think of something. Perhaps using the eagle? Something grander, Imperial, but not in the Autocratic sense. After all, it almost spans a continent.

Alright, tried to think of a plan. I'll start gearing up, making a ton of mountaineers and expanding/modernising my navy. Might take me more than a year. Red would be the first phase of the war, which would ideally take around half a year, then Blue, and then Orange. Basically, it would go like this:

Red:

>Secure German colonies in North and East Africa, and South East Asia as they are poorly defended and I can take them quickly
>Take the Suez
>start to push in MittelAfrika
>use the navy to secure the eastern Mediterranean and Gulf of Guinea, troops to defend North Africa
>Use the mountains to drain Russian and Chinese manpower

Blue:

>Finish MittelAfrika and the rest of German colonies in Africa
>Attack the Netherlands to take Indonesia
>use the navy to help and prevent Entente actions there (their navy is more or less out, as far as I know)
>Take Indochina, open up a second front against China in another defensive position, the moutains and Jungles of north Vietnam
>hold North Africa

Orange:

>Clean up German colonies in the Pacific
>Take South Africa, then take the now free troops up north
>Attack the Don-Kuban Union, take great defensible positions behind the Don and the Volga, open up a second front against the Russians
>Finally, attack the hopefully diminished Russian and Chinese and Central, push up to defensible positions

I haven't thought about what could happen further. Don't know how to end the war, and this might completely fall apart right at the start, depending on a lot of factors, but it should be fun. We'll call this Third World War, "Yawm al-Qiyāmah", the Day of Resurrection. And if doesn't go well, let's go for "Yawm ad-Dīn", the the Day of Judgment. I'm not too sure on some of these things, so tell me what you think!

Here's the background, if anyone hasn't seen it:>>165003897 >>165007417 >>165008337

How do you stop pops becoming communist late game? I can satisfy liberals and socialists but no matter what I do I always end up with millions of commie shits rebelling with hundreds of brigades every other year.

>>165009328
Are puppets useful at all for their troops or only for their markets?

>>165015316
Depends on the puppet, a decent sized one is great for putting down revolts and tanking in wars, a large puppet is pretty risky but pretty good for taking up a whole front. Small puppets general suck and only work for helping occupation of getting rebels

>>165015313
lower taxes

>>165015316
Provided they keep relatively up to date techwise, yeah, they can be extremely useful for armies. They are great as cannon fodder in battles and occupying land, saving you from losing troops to attrition and freeing them for other pursuits. If you have a fair amount of puppets, sometimes you don't need to even use your armies and you can just let your puppets' armies do all the work for you.

Ok so this is very experimental, so whatever you don't like I can change or modify or whatever. This is just a prototype.

I used the American Seal Eagle and crowned it with the phrygian cap from the Congress Seal. The four stars represent the four "Main States" that compose the Grand US (US proper, Canada, Haiti and Cuba).

Again, I can change anything, from the way the stars are counted to anything else

>>165017709
Not that guy, but it should be 3 stars famalam. Caribbean islands should just be considered as a group.

>>165018065
I agree, they are so small that they don't really warrant their own stars. Not to mention the "Caribbean Star" would include all the other American possessions in the Caribbean, like Puertro Rico, Bahamas, etc.

Which one should I go with? I have no intention of reuniting the Roman empire.

Visigoths hold provinces related to my culture and religion so it will be easier to maintain. On the other hand those Germanics to the east might unite. I took away most of the land Clovis is set to inherit but some other realm might gain strength in the region.

You are attacking too agressively in one direction. Nations get paranoid and gang up on you if you attack their neigboours again and again. Look up aggressive expansion for details.

Inhereiting - it's an arcane process with a craptonne of details. The best guide I know of is on the forums. Google it, you'll see. Tho as one of the main contributors to it - it's not worth it unless you do it for novelty or WC. New players should bother with more productive shit and not that insanity.

R8 My Germany game in HPM. Interesting facts about this one:

-Puppets: Yugoslavia, Turkestan and Turkey, all fascist.
-Britain, Italy and Germany are all major fascist powers. There's also others like Venezuela and the Netherlands, along with many minor fascist nations.
-The German financial reserve is 170m strong.
-Last but not least, half the fucking world is either under German influence, or direct German control. Everything from Berlin the the USSR is either in our sphere or a direct puppet state, save Scandinavia.

Nice, though remember, because you'll probably be absorbing Venice, you'll be getting Terra d'Oro too, so don't forget Maurentia and stuff (the cores for the releaseable nation does extend). You can also form post-colonial states in Northern Africa too I believe.

You shouldn't also forget you're Protestant. Fuck with Aragon and Spain, and the hated Dual Monarchy. Be friendly with Burgundy and Scandinavia if you can.

Fuck Catholics. Also, good luck on your moves into Italy, you're gonna need it for the Italian Wars.

you can either use the DLC activator (no idea how/where you can get it) or just delete the EU4 files on Steam and install a cracked copy where it was.

>>165034427

Also, after you installed the cracked copy, you need to change EnableAchievements(or something like that, just read the file) to false REVOLT.ini (in the EU4 folder) or else the achieviements won't work

It is the extended Benelux and Axis against the Allies edition.

Also, they are not even close to fixing this game. Paradox could not make a good AI if their bottom line depended on it. Troops have problems, especially when dealing with islands and straights. Watch as the Germans invade the Soviet Union, and ignore Sevastopol, and then the Soviets pour out of Sevastopol to cut off the Germans.

Want to play multiplayer? Well, you will still have to deal with stupid general AIs. In a rush to garrison rear areas with MPs? You will have to fight the interface by not accidentally clicking on an airfield.

Fighting the interface and friendly AIs instead of the enemy.

whats the best inheritance law in CK2? I was using primogeniture, because I don't want to lose territories when the leader dies, but I am starting to think that the penalties are not really worth it, and also sometimes the heir is really shitty

HPM has a Gross Germanium decision where if you're an absolute monarchy or fascist dictatorship, you can select it and you get cores on all of that.

Give us screenshots, lad.

do I understand correctly that even though you get severely reduced tax income from towns as a christian noble, you should still build them over castles outside of your capital?

>>165049089
but don't you lose territory every time your ruler dies? I guess the opinion bonuses are nice, but it seems like its a hard to manage succession law
