King Peranudet 'the Bold' of the Order of the Hospitaller Knights has the audacity to proclaim himself 'King of Burgundy'. What's more, with the recent Paulician crusade against the formerly Teutonic Lowlands, there are rumors that the upstart King will pledge fealty to the first Emperor of the Italian-centric 'Holy Roman Empire'. With the 72 year old King of Aquitane on his deathbed, an opportunity may present itself for the Hjemlandar Patriarch and Emperor to call for another great crusade against the Catholic Europe....

Great news in the Western Front!

The Italians completely broke apart near Milan, letting the combined Austro-Bulgarian force get through, so far the Axis has gotten up to the French border, but there is still almost no resistance. Romagna so far has stayed steadfast, although they are taking massive casualties in the process.

The Libyan front went okay, we lost almost everything, and then regained all the territory up to Benghazi. I'm pulling the Bulgarian Army from Africa and am moving them to Germany, where they will hopefully lack the supply problems that made the Libyan Campaign such a slog.

France hasn't changed at all in Germany, although Corsica was recently partly taken over, so there's that.

>>168548526
Like, I get pressing lineage-based claims getting fucked up when people involved die and succession orders/etc get fucked up.

But pressing dejure claims, claims based on reclaiming certain land historically belonging to you, shouldn't be affected by who holds the land, and thus the defender dying shouldn't affect things. If the land does pass to another ruler, there should be an option to say: "hey, so we want this land. You can keep fighting your predecssors war, or you can just hand it over."

Similarly, Holy Wars should only end if the targeted area comes under the control of your own religion. If I declare a war against a Sunni King and his kingdom breaks up into Sunni duchies halfway through, the war shouldn't end. Similarly, if a targeted pagan duchy gets absorbed into a larger kingdom that's sunni, or a different pagan religion or whatever, the war should continue.

Historically, even with the first, you would still have a chance to press your claim. Either by capturing the newly crowned king or having his people turn against him to support your claim.

EU4 is literally the easiest fucking Paradox game there is. If anyone's the Reddit fag, it's you for somehow being shit at easy mode: the game

>>168555065
Trust me its 10000% better, once I started plays I couldnt even start a game in normal Eu4, I would quit at the starting screen. The development happens automatically instead of you just pressing random buttons so you dont have to spend your Mana on that, leaving you a chance to use more on generals. For the most part its al about your general though. Just have a 1 lead in any catagory is good, but if you have a 10% discipline lead and the right troop types you can wipe the field with anyone. Not that hard to get discipline. Policies, ideas, advisors, choices, if you have high development for your country size. Like if you have a small country, say milan. Youll have half the troop size of Poland but youll win every battle because the discipline from development is like 5% difference. So it pays to play small and use vassals to control land. You also have problems making money off land too far away from your capital so only have large amounts of land if you want to get development in your core provinces since youll drive down the development cost ith low development provinces and places near your capital get the most events.

France surrendered far faster than I expected, the vast majority of their army was still completely intact.

The Great War is over, mostly. After nine long years of warfare Continental Europe has once again settled in peace. Germany is now the premier power in the world, followed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Britain maintains its fight alongside Japan, but neither side will be able to gain any significant advantage on the other, making for a long stalemate. The severe depopulation of Bulgaria following the Balkan Campaign has been cut, now only about half as bad as it once was. The USA never joined either side, content to just watch as Europe burned in front of them.

This peace deal is pretty ebin, Belgium lost half of its territory despite being neutral, Luxembourg stayed untouched, and France lost a ton of French Territory Germany irl had no interest in. Bulgaria became a groß Balkan nation, the best out of all of them.

What country should I do a ww1 campaign with next that isn't already huge?

Brewing my coffee, and preparing for some conquest. Not sure how I want to trade up Africa. Because the Dutch took all of Nigeria, I think giving them Lagos and then trading their Gambian possession to Britain would be a fair trade.

Prussia will naturally get Ethiopia. Maybe the Sudan as well.

I will cede most of Morocco to france, but seize the rest of my state along with the western desert.

Currently the dutch are Invading Alexandria while the brits are bogged down fighting the France over the nigger empire. So brits will probably lose out on Egypt. Their concession will be Lindi+Zanzibar colony probably.

Playing CK2 and I got a couple questions the wiki cant answer.

Playing as Sweden, year is 950. My son owns Stettin and there is an empty holding. Why hasn't the Norse holy order formed yet? We're both Germanic, the Norse Holy War era has started. According to the wiki that's all I need. What gives? I really need this order, I have shitty sons I want to send away.

On a similar note, do the Norse also get monastic orders?

>When 23 people is considered a lot of migration
Shit, my Bohemia in my KUK game before this was pushing 2,3k people to my colonies a month WITH space still left for workers in the RGO.

Playing CK2, winning a civil war. Got 100% warscore, but I can't enforce demands because I "do not occupy any of Ofeig's" holdings. So I checked his holdings, and all he has is 1 county that I do in fact have occupied. What gives?

>>168569518
Play a duke in a large empire. You can have 8 duchies and the emperor cant compete no matter how large the empire is. Then just sit and do whatever. You need to own all the duchies though, or kingdoms, or the emperor can just make it and hand away your land.

The only one doing he revoking in that case i you. when you have 400% of the lieges forces you can just demand anything.

>>168569664
I can have a mayor be powerful when I have 33k troops. Its all about your rank and amount of land. If you have 3 kingdoms under your empire and thats it your mayors and priest will become powerful even if they cant do shit.
>why would you only have 3 kingdoms
Vassals with kingdoms like to expand, then you can just make a new kingdom and he loses all that land. Play with 25k personal levies what the fuck can they do to me.

>>168569518

Ceuta one is ok but not great.
Delete Tangier one it is useless.
Fez is maintains one but not on coast, if you keep it keep the Ceuta one as well even though they overlap.

>>168574674
If you dont think youll be on the defense end of a war just keep Fez, because you only need a handful to keep the army tradition modifier and the others are defensive ones and Fez holds more land inland. If you think youll be attacked keep Tangier as well for now. It holds the water making things annoying for the attacker. You cant land on your territory and move properly.

>>168574959
Fez is the only one needed long term, Hell delete the other 2 in time so keeping that one is a must, and if you had to pick 1 to go with if because you wanted 2 for some reason Ceuta wouldnt be the one to pick.

>>168575047
Ceuta is the one that is used to control the strait.

>>168575120
Fez holds the entire peninsula, Ceuta holds half the land it does. The only point would be for the extra -2, ut if they have better ships thats nothing, and you should be on that side anyway, shouldnt matter because youll be running them down and its only a road block to stop them from freely moving in your land.

Worst part about starting in England is that you're in a shitty position to reform the religion.

>>168575252

Ai cheats on zone of control. Avoiding a -2 for crossing the strait early against cav heavy Morocco army can be worth the upkeep of the fort.
All in all he can just delete all 3 of them and have 3 ducats per month to maintain more troops.

>>168575864
Probably the best option and just throw an extra fort on his main land when he needs more for Army Tradition. Why let your enemies have valuable land too far from you to be able to easily take it back. 200 months later and its paid for itself.

So, /gsg/, here's what I've done so far:

>started as a count in Pomerania
>Worked my way up to being King of Pomerania
>Launched a subjugation of Saxony
>Became King of Saxony
>Rushed shipbuilding tech
>Forged claim on southwestern Ireland
>Claimed the county there
>Died
>Build up prestige, piety, etc.
>Fend off attacks from Scandinavia and the Franks
>Survive
>Move capital to Ireland
>Launch rapid-fire series of wars against Irish minors
>Summon two stacks of Tribal Warriors via decision
>Take over pretty much all of Ireland
>Set Kingdom of Ireland as primary title
>Die
>Hand off what's left of my continental holdings to relatives so I just have Ireland
>Raid the shit out of the Welsh and what's left of Ulster
>Basically be a slavic pseudo-viking
>Build up lots of hillforts, market cities, etc.
>Culturally assimilate as much of Ireland as I can through tribal settlement
>Meanwhile, old friends in northern Germany getting their shit wrecked by the Christians and Scandinavians
>Widukind spawns
>Also Iberia is united under Islam now

Current plan is to continue building up my shit on Ireland, assimilating the population, and invading Scotland before converting to Christianity and reforming into a feudal or republican realm. Once that's done, I'll most likely start helping Christendom with the Reconquista and/or Crusades.

Thoughts?

Mostly that I didn't want Charlemagne and Karloman wrecking my shit, and Ireland seemed like a nice place to hide from the big blue blob.

That, and, well, the Pomeranians were among the Western Slavs, so I figure they should hold the title of the Westernmost of all Western Slavs.

And if I decide to go maximum-autism and finish this run and convert this to EU4, it'll make colonisation easier.

If I intended on reforming the Slavic religion instead of converting, I'd have started somewhere in Russia or Ukraine

THE TIME HAS COME

The year is 1940, and finally, in the Commune of India, all is quiet. After four whirlwind years of building and war by Nehru's new ideological bloc in the Indian National Congress, the other pretenders to the Indian subcontinent lie vanquished. It was a surprise for such a previously untested cadre of leadership in the Congress. But they have proven themselves. While we are still at war with the Entente, it is unlikely they can do anything now to turn back the clock.

A critical question now lies before the government - how do we even organize India? Various blocs are putting their proposals forward. Nehru's centrists for now hold sway thanks to their decisive leadership, but the extreme Comrade Bose holds much affection amongst the precious army which he helped form, and has contacts with the French and British comrades, especially Comrade Mosley. Gandhi holds affection still amongst the poor peasantry across India, but it is noted that his star is starting to wane, his agrarian policies over the past years increasingly talked about openly having held the Commune back, and having put us in such a bad position against the reactionary princes and the vassals of the Corpse-Emperor in the first place. And a new bloc now over the last year, the Anarcho-Syndicalists, boosted by exiles from Goa, and thus Iberian political strains, has proposals as well.

What should the government's policy on states be?

So I've reached this stage in ironman and tried reloading the game, but the 'Sweden is Not Overpowered' achievement just won't pop

Not sure what could be going wrong anons

If I form Germany as Dithmarschen will I still be a Peasant Republic, or do I become a monarchy?

And done. I also got free cores on Kazakhstan for that Greater Russia decision and decided to finish them off and get some more pops. Should I finish off the Caucusus and the rest of the stans? I'll wait for the infamy to go away. I'm always worried RoC and USA got nukes and they allied Georgia and Kyrgyztan respectively.

Still at war with Iraq actually and for some reason taking longer to finish than me and Eastern Europe finished off Ukraine when it decided to go defend Finland.

What's Putin's opinion on Stalin? It depends on whether I rename Stalino or not. It should already be Donetsk in the 1992 start but the CWE dev hasn't really fixed it since Simsulla's 1.07 NWO.

Rolling. Please no Viccy I'll have to but it for M*c.

How the fuck do you do amphibious landings in HoI4?

I usually land on a province with a naval base with some marines then transport the rest of my divisions over.

Trouble is every time I do this I get overrun and lose about 20 divisions.

Do I need a bigger Army of Doom or something?

Sounds like it. My landings in Cornwall were a back and forth affair for several months before I finally got the upper hand and broke out.

Apparently 4 years of Al Gore made them elect full-on Nationalists. They're still at war with Iraq though.

For some reason Nationalists got really popular everywhere. Literally of Europe has them elected. I'll probably nerf them in the files if they're still around by say... 2015 if they don't actually do something, like start some epic irredentism like I am since I don't feel like redoing over 15 years of blobbing.

I did 1992 start. Tiananmen Square protesters came back and won, resulting in China losing communism. They also annexed the actual RoC over in Taiwan and waged a 5 year long war with the UK over Hong Kong.

>>168597343
Yeah they have a bunch of releasable countries.

>>168597380
No clue, a lot of things are weird in this mod but at least its an improvement over Simsulla's original edition.

>>168597481
That's nothing. North Korea becomes like 6th GP on military alone whenever it goes to war.

>>168597592
Do You think you can take on Chyna?

>>168597592
North Korea should start with -200 relations with everyone tbf

>>168597746
A lot of countries don't care that much about NK any further than "we don't want to get the US mad".

Should be able to handle them, but I'll need to blob a bit more. I was going to cuck out to them, but they're not the PRC so nah.

Also I have no idea what's going down with America. Probably the endless war they're having with Iraq.
