Question for yall:
Where online can you discuss History one minute, then Gaming the next?
Then maybe learn some Philosophy then talk about Movies and Books? Then after that, relax by watching some funny .GIFs, reading some AARs, or viewing some borders that're only mildly irritating? Do you know of any such board?

Answer:
It sure as hell isn't Reddit, if that's what you're thinking. It's an amazing community I've been using called /gsg/. I honestly feel my IQ has increased at least 20 points since I bought my 4chan pass. It's also why I've been using reddit a lot less.

Hey lads, I posted my Italy game in the last thread, well I managed to form Rome with plenty of time to spare, and I'll have Commonwealth integrated before 1820 for Mare Nostrum too.

I just wish I could at least keep the other Italian cultures as accepted instead of getting all these meme cultures.

is there no way to change culture of a province in ck2? I conquered Sicily ages ago and its still berber, I was hoping I could make all of my holdings Italian but it just doesn't happen

>>165324281
It needs to be owned by a person of the culture you want to change it to and be next to a province that is already said culture. Even then the mean time to happen is based on admin score of the person and even with an admin of like 30 its still only going to happen after 20 years with worse people taking fuckin centuries. For example I conquered wales fairly quickly as a brit by the time I got bored 2 centuries later only 3 provinces had switch to my culture. Theres also a cheat that changes it.

>>165324281
It happens through random events, no way to do it reliably. Tribals can do it semi-reliably because one of their councillors have a 'settle tribe' mission which fires pretty often.

>>165323190

>>165324625
No. Ideally one could import new content and bugfixes from the later versions into 1.07, but it's better than the later versions. 1.12 seemed to be pretty promising with the pop growth overhaul.

>>165325564
The opposite, it boosts spread out of the province into surrounding ones.

Wew lad. I'm sure Byzantine fell before you formed Rome, so Russia wants to call itself the Third Rome still. And you're allowing the Holy Roman Empire exist still even though you're clearly in a position to dismantle it.

I hope you're only keeping Maldovia too, so you can actually have decent borders and not a random Roman blob surrounding Germany.

Fuck me.

My only ally ming collapsed, and japan declared war on me, then stack wiped a 26 stack with his 23 stack with god rolls

then I just closed the game because losing hokkaido essentially meant losing everything because I dumped thousands of mana points into it to force institutions.

I wasn't even behind in military tech, I have no idea what happened, He fucked my ass crossing a strait with a 1/2/2/1 general

Colonizing alaska was a mistake, I should of immediately hopped to california.


Also is there a way to get a better religion than Animist? Are you able to convert to shinto or buddhism somehow really early as Ainu? Korea probably would of allied me had I not been animist.

>>165329534
If you get a province of another religion you can convert to it iirc. I could convert to Sunni/Hindu after colonizing two provinces of that religion as Tidore, so I'm sure it works just like that for Ainu, unless your government affects it.

Why don't you load the backup immediately after losing the battle? Sure it's gamey and pretty much cheating, but what the hell. You can alternatively, for a funner playthrough, get the province of Cholula in Mexico and become Nahuatl.

>>165329213
>White anglo

>>165329714
>become nuhautl
Something tells me this isn't actually possible.

Also wouldn't this completely fuck my game anyways? I'd have to reform the religion right?

>>165329775
The provinces of Cholula, and the southernmost province of Ceylon have events that let you convert to the province's culture (Theravada and Nahuatl).

It would perhaps make your game more difficult, but it would certainly be a very fun, roleplaying playthrough.

Just imagine it, Ainu explorers discover the great cities of Mesoamerica, are fascinated by their wealth and culture and adapt their culture to theirs. Or something like that. It's not without precedent either, most conquerors end up adapting to the conquered culture (China, Normans, etc).

As Ryukyu in EU4, is there a way to get rid of Okinawa before it has gotten any additionall institutions?

Japan doesn't want to buy it due to wrong religion in the province, Shimazu doesn't want to take it in a peacedeal because it's not aprt of the wargoal

I don't have time to convert to Shinto or get religious ideas.

>>165285219
>Also, chinanon, I need some good operational names

Told you I had exams lad. If you still need it:
>for an invasion of Manchuria designed to cut it off from Korea
Okay I'm not sure how you're cutting it off from Korea given that Manchuria is kind of the only mainland connection to Korea, but Operation "Tianxia Yiguan Kaijun Lieshan Leihai", "The First Gate Under Heaven Opens For The Army, Splitting the Mountains and Thundering Across the Ocean". The "First Gate Under Heaven", or the Gate of the Mountains and Seas, is a gate on the Great Wall that the Manchus kept getting repelled by.
This might be too long, so Operation "Wanjun Chubu", "Ten Thousand Armies Ride Out". It's a reference to the fact that the Great Wall, after getting raided by Manchus, got reinforced in certain sections so as to "Pima Buru", "[Make it so] Not a Single Horse Rides In".

>and for an invasion of Korea where the goal is to encircle Seoul.
Operation "Yinhou Qizi Chaoxian"; there's a prince of the Shang (Yin) Dynasty named Qizi that supposedly founded Joseon (Chaoxian) around what is now Pyongyang. This is the name you want if you mean to keep Korea instead of releasing it. If you want to release it and merely mean to free it from Japanese occupation, Operation "Hancheng Hanshou", "Han Men will Protect Han City"; Seoul is also known as Hanseong, or Han City - Hancheng.

Also, I think Meng Tian might make more sense after some consideration for the Mongolian venture, simply because he is more famous than Bai Qi in regards to fucking with the Mongolians or Xiongnu; Bai Qi is more well known for being the "Butcher of Men", being undefeated in the Warring States era, and executing 400k prisoners at Changping.

So what's the difference between hoi2 and dh? Or should i start with hoi3? and is vanilla playable or should i get ebin mods?

Retaining low literacy and low militancy is key.

Labourer pops with low literacy are far more likely to be conservative. Craftsmen lean towards socialism comparatively. Nations like Portugal or southern Italy would be the best. If you pick a literate nation your pops will inevitable be socialist/liberal towards the middle/end of the game.

How did you form Prussia? The decision should make you Prussian primary culture. It should also give you the Prussian monarchy government, which it looks like you don't have.

I think I understand everything about HoI III except warfare (you know, the most important part of the game?). What are some good countries that allow me to understand and master it without being too much at risk? I have myself considered the following:

>Germany
Pro: Lots of opportunities for war, high IC
Con: You get everything thrown on your plate at the same time. You need to be good on land, in the air and at sea and have good supply lines/infrastructure or you'll get your ass kicked

>France
Pro: Only focuses on one front, only focuses on land warfare, doesn't need to worry about supply (you'll fight exclusively on or near your soil)
Con: Atrocious IC, practically set up to lose (even its national decisions rely on you losing the war!)

>Britain
Pro: Extensive focus on naval and arial combat, a little bit of land combat
Con: You need to focus on both India and Britain, you already need to be really good at naval combat or you'll get rekt

>Australia
Pro: Out of the way, unlikely to befall any harm, will focus on mostly naval and arial combat
Con: Early on you need to take on the IJN by yourself, you won't succeed

>Yugoslavia
Pro: Small and easy to handle, lots of weak neighbors
Con: Due to proximity reasons you're forced to join the Axis, eventually Germany will take on the SU and you'll be unable to meaningfully assist due to how small your country/army/IC is

Also, any other suggestions I almost certainly overlooked will be welcome.

Play Germany. You don't get it all on your plate, you get successive levels of difficulty as you learn.

>Poland: Easy Mode
>Norway/France: Medium
>Soviets: Hard

>>165344482
I vote for Britain. If you demonstrate that you have a firm grasp with sea and sky then you'll be given more opportunities for land combat. If you struggle with the former then you will have little of the latter. If you completely suck then you're gonna have all 3 in a hurry and then it'll be over.

So i realised that waiting to recover from loans is less effective than waging war against small countries nobody gives a shit about

Saxony has been an issue. they betrayed my in the war for Bohemia (who is my PU and i love them, it's like an Ally who will join you in every war forever! :^D)

And have rivaled me, and ate two onePM. maybe it's time for Saxony to shrink a little bit...

Why do so many of the Japanese decisions/events after unification in HPMeme make the POPs more liberal? The Japanese are an extremely conservative culture, even moreso in the 19th century, and the Meiji Restoration was an entirely top-down process. The very reformers were extremely wary of democratization or liberalization, and it was a transformation based wholly on the pragmatic grounds of "catching up" to the Western powers, rather than any sort of true ideological acceptance of liberal ideals. And afterwards Japan had slipped "backwards" to what was essentially a military junta by the end of the first WW, rather than the further continual democratization that Vickie attempts to simulate.

>>165345440
Because taisho democracy, and the shift from reactionary ideals to conservatism. Pre ww2 reactionary governments were not majority supported.

You seem to be running quite a budget surplus, so build more armies and expand your navy
Make sure you have .2% officers for more leadership and better generals, which factors into your score
Build factories appropriate to the local RGOs, so in a province making fruit that has high enough literacy for craftsmen, make a wine distillery
Check the trade screen to see what's in demand
Make your populace more literate and more will become craftsmen, which is the primary determinant of industry score
To raise literacy, research the techs that increase educational efficiency, especially biologism which has an invention (darwinism) that gives the biggest boost to EE in the game, and encourage clergymen in every region up to at MINIMUM 2% for max research point bonus (2% nationwide population of clergymen is the cap for getting more rp from clergymen), and if you can go to ~3.5% clergy, as the rate of literacy gain increases with clergy percentage up to 4%

Asians are usually a step better than whites people at strategy games/rts. Just is how it is. Good for her though, that's actually impressive for a pre-teen.

As far as I know, whites are better at fps, and black people are really good at fighting games as well

>>165355810
Pretty sure the last time she played EU4 she basically policed the entirety of Europe so that wars and territory gains happened ''''historically'''', so no, Germaniums was not unified in time.

>expanding as prussia in eu4
It's actually pretty hard as west is the HRE, where if you take more than a single province a decade you get shit tonnes of AE and east is Poland-Lithuania, that hss 3× your units. The only way to reliably expand is wait until Russia forms ans ally them. t. not even him

The UK and the US also funded Hitler.

UK's been Labour ran for decades, they only recently elected UKIP. A bit of an earlier screen, but I doubt much changed in a few years.
