Been playing Vic2 Ultimate for nostalgia sake, and it keeps crashing on January 5th, 1616. I checked the game log, and it gave me the following line repeated about a hundred times over the past week from that date:

Yeah but both the swastika and the eagle have been associated for a long time with Germany and Italy, respectively.

Either way, works for me. Hope to see the neutral-focused American nationalist pack in the next version (v10? 9?)

Make Celje into the centre of Mitteleuropa.

Switch to Aragon and create a Mediterrean empire without ever uniting Spain

Switch to Novogord and beat the shit of Muscovy while remaining a Princely Republic

Spread Shia faith to the Maghreb as whoever (with the intent of colonizing America later on)

Horde coops are fun.

Just wrapped up a Yeren-Jianzhou/Manchu-Oirat game.

We've had some horde coops before and imo it's more fun if everyone stays in the old world since it felt more like singlepalyer when I left for america this game. More fun when you can reinforce eachother and maneuver together rather than sending 4000 gold one way or another.
The end when we were fighting in europe together was more fun.

If you are a few people it can be useful and fun to have a merchant republic if anyone likes that playstyle. Alters your expanding a bit since you want to save trade power provinces for the merchant republic.

India-Indochina is fun for hre-lite

I don't believe you.

Lads. I played Iron Man EU4 and was trying to get the entire Roman Empire back as Byzantium. I had managed a fair bit of land and then it hit 1821 and the scoreboard.

But I couldn't continue after 1821 when I was told I could. I don't think I can capture the entire Roman Empire in one Iron Man game and enact the Decision to reform it.

Interestingly enough, I apparently unlocked the achievement for doing so, yet I hadn't captured Spain or all of France or Britain yet.

Either way, how do I go beyond 1821 in Iron Man mode? Like there is an achievement to control the entire planet as one country, I don't think that's achievable from 1444 to 1821.

I never understood what you're suppose to do in this game. I heard you don't get institutions at all, you just spend all your power on making your provs insanely high in the 3 areas.

How does that work? What's the tactic?

I've not followed any of these 'tactics', I just play.

>>166235586

You can get the entire Roman Empire as Cuba? In an iron Man game? Before 1821? I didn't think Cuba existed.

Or did you mean take over the world? I don't see how anybody can control everything on the planet in the time period you've given.

Like the Ryuku achievement, I don't see how you control the entire planet in 400 years.

I also have 1 Multi-Role Fighter but I can get one more before the war starts. I was thinking that I could land my Divisions in Sicily, or help in North Africa.

>>166236526
I wish there was an EU4 version of Warhammers Old World. I couldn't find one.

I need to get that CK mod. but it triggers me that each faction is 'split' up. Certain factions might have fought each other, but they were still unified. Like Lizardmen from Hexoatl might have fought Lizardmen from Itza, but it'd be over shit like arguing over what the meaning of the stars in the sky means. It'll be minor. It doesn't mean Hexoatl won't fight as a united Lizardman army against Dark Elves.

Also, it doesn't help that neither they nor Orcs reproduce normally.

CK is all about having sex with people and taking their shit when they die and having an awesome son/daughter born. Kind of an important aspect of the game that doesn't work for Orcs or Lizardmen.

I'm sure they've replaced it with something, but it's just a bit odd, that's all.

I'd prefer an EU4 mod, don't suppose you know one?

>>166238853

I'm not the original anon but I'd say "recruited by a shady magician" would have something to do with it.

>>166239103
Orcs work just fine, you just adopt boyz into your clan. It's not like they form intimate relationships so CK2's marriage mechanics would make no sense for them anyway.

>>166239035

Fucking hell, that is some post.

I'm not too sure how ww2 would have ended if the US didn't join the European part of the war. Honestly I think the Allies would have still been victorious but with more causalities.

I suspect with the Nazis trying to invade both Russia and the UK that they would have never the force to make any progress on either front.

For the Nazis to invade the UK they would need a considerably stronger navy/airforce to secure dominance and control over the English Channel before they could get land troops in. Which they just didn't have and it would take them fa too long to build the force they needed up.

I'm not too sure how the Russian front would've gone though

>>166239480
It's also great because you can just search the entire world of orcs for genius strong unlanded huge orc or something, and have a clan of only the meanest, greenest boyz around

The way that I did it was that I began writing and made up stuff as I went along. That is, as I was writing, I'd ask myself "how will I write [x]" and then came up with a way. Eventually an actual "language" came of it. Here is an example of what I've written in it.

>>166239839
I'd probably play as my main guys, Lizardmen.

Shame all the leaders should be Slann, but it'd be OK if they were Oldbloods.

I long for a game like CK2 but with better combat, with visuals. I'd like a duel animation where a cool duel takes place between two people. Stuff like that. Combat is the main problem with /gsg/, since it's just numbers or minor analogues.

The best GSG combat is NOBUNAGA'S Ambition.

Jesus anon, this is basics.
If you want to go safe, invade and hold Sicily, try to push up if there is no major resistance
If you want to go full madman though, disembark in Split and liberate the Balkans. If the AI works correctly ANZACS should try to assist you once you disembark in Yugoslavia, I noticed the Australian AI loves to lose it's troops there.

>>166240189
Lizardmen you play as a skink, and all your temple vassals are sleeping slann (there's not many of them). They're all ridiculously strong mages, as strong in-game as the Pheonix-king. You can wake them up to command your armies too, but I haven't played lizardmen long enough to get to there. There's cool falvour events too, like your slann turning his head in his sleep and as leader you have to guess what it means, and your vassals all either agree or disagree with your interpretation which leads to opinion gain or loss. I'm gonna play them next once I'm finished with my orcs

>>166250467

>>166260449
oh yeh you can't remove that. It wouldn't do anything anyway. If the game is crashing at the same date every time, open up the log in game and test to see if a country keeps taking a decision or an event pops up each time on that date. you may be able to see something before it crashes fully

>>166260712
No, not at all.

1.) Fully occupy them as Prussia/NGF
2.) Wait until they drop from GP status (If they don't do it, peace out their allies).
3.) Forcefully add them to sphere.
4.) From Germany while they're in your sphere but before they form the AHE.

They didn't go full France mode and actively exterminate Catholics.

>>166262975
And in-game it's perfectly possible for England to control Ireland and Scotland and have an Anglican England, a catholic Ireland and a Presbyterian Scotland but that doesn't happen because actively taking tolerance modifiers and just letting them do what they do never happens since doing that is terrible.

Of course that said culture and religion in EU4 are supposed to represent the ruling class of a given region, not its people so having English Anglicans all over Ireland isn't so far from the truth.

>>166264351
To be fair, white people in general originated as steppe horse nomads in Central Asia. They just migrated to Europe back when it didn't have too many people and took the place over. Later on the Ugyurs, Turks, and Mongols invaded and wiped out or interbred with the ancestral peoples living there and then even later the Arabs invaded and you get the current mess you have now.

As far as Turkey itself, it's mostly Anatolians (who would be called white) mixed with Arabs (who would not) dashed with only a little Turkic (who are asians) because they mostly stuck to themselves until the later Sultans saw to it that they'd breed themselves out with anatolian or arabic slaves.

However, even amongst those Turks who are very majority Anatolian, I think the fact that their entire culture and religion is now solidly and entirely Middle Eastern and absolutely nothing else, precludes them from being white or European.

>>166265179
Pagans in general are boring beyond building a comfy initial kingdom to Christianise, there's fuck all diplomacy, there's no crusades, feudalising is a pain in the arse, you either spend half your game re-conquering your brothers' kingdoms or having one child then killing the mother and never remarrying.

>>166265456
If you look at genetic studies on average Turks are mainly Turkic and Hellenic with a little bit of Arab and celt mixed in.

How do I find which event in the list the validator gave me is the one that's fucking it?

>>166265625
>Little bit of Arab
Man you can just look at the skin, eyes, and noses and tell that's not true. Skin too dark, eyes too sunken, and nose too long and hook-shaped.

Regardless, swap Turkic and Arab and you got exactly what I said. Every study I've ever heard of has said the Turkic peoples didn't interbreed strongly with people in Turkey, only those relatively close by in like Kazakhstan and such. Who, by the way, are much whiter looking than most Turks on average. Asian crossbreeding is often obvious though.

So I really wanted to play South Africa from day 1 in HPM and my only option to do so since they removed the option to just release them was to use the event codes to free a boer republic and then give them the British provinces in South Africa so I could form the country. Is that cheating?
