>-Eupen Malmadys north germans are all protestant while the surrounding provinces have them as all catholics and irl they are catholics.
Thanks, it's fixed

>-Have Lebanon start Catholic
It's irrelevant what the default religion in the files is as their religion changes according to the country that organizes it. Makes no difference at all.

>make Beirut majority Catholic by increasing their pops and removing most orthodox pops from Lebanon
>The censuses were made after multiple wars and revolts reduced the catholic percentages anyway, so it would be much higher by 1836
I need sources for that.

> orthodox only makes up 10% of lebanon now
The present doesn't matter, lots of things change. Besides talking about religion proportion in the present in a country that refuses to do a census on that is kinda hard.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Lebanon
Quote what you want from it, otherwise I won't guess what you are trying to prove. When disputing number, it's better to use primary sources.

>-Make the Ukrainian pops in Galicia mostly Catholic
None of what you linked says anything about the 19th century or ukrainian pops in specific, they could be just poles or their descendants. Especially when dealing with former soviet countries, I need way better data that modern data.

>-Make Rhineland tag catholic, why the hell was it Protestant when the majority of pops are catholic and it has Koln as a core?
Ask Rylock, but fair enough.

>-Reduce prestige of Ethiopia by modifier but remove the tech modifier and allow it to be formed like before.
No. Ethiopia isn't going to go back to solving a crisis that exists since 1769 by suddenly becoming a free-for-all deathmatch in 1836.

>(I can source that later, if interested)
Then do it, only way I'm changing it.

>why would you even work around this immigration limit?
Fixing exploits. The AI doesn't abuse exploits. If you want to do wacky shit, just remove what I did. It's pretty simple.

Listening to people doesn't mean doing what everyone (or you) want. Means getting feedback and deciding on it. I have a vision on what I like and what I want and I work with it.

>>168649101
>Would it not be better to just let us choose how many % we want to kill of
The random chance is to represent your lack of control over it. People hide, escape, run away and fake. The state isn't all knowing and all seeing, especially before the advent of totalitarianism.

>Also how about making a decision that will let you repopulate areas you "cleared out"?
V2 isn't about directly influencing your pops by forcing them somewhere or to do something, it's about trying to influence them. If you want that, you have a NF to encourage people to move somewhere.

>they could be just poles or their descendants.
No offense, since I am glad that you're actually listening, but those are some serious straws your grasping at. There are barely any poles in any of the actually censuses I linked to (It had poles as a seperate category). But, since I can't find any official documents on Galicia specifically, I'll use the 1910 A-H census.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_and_religious_composition_of_Austria-Hungary
>Ukrainians make up 7.78 percent of A-H
>Orthodox make up only 2.3% of Austria proper
You must see that at least some of them were catholic, right?
>I need sources for that.
Yeah, I understand, I had a few fantastic sources for religion in Persia and Lebanon awhile ago, complete with full numbers of Zoroastrians and other tiny sects in Persia. I lost it a month ago, but if I ever find it I would love to show you.
>Then do it, only way I'm changing it.
Alright, I'll write up something in a few days, need to go back on everything, all the partitions in general looked like they lacked a few pops, but I did the reading and calculating a long time ago, so I'll have to dig it up.

The one thing I can say now is that the germans in Elbing need to be mostly catholic, too lazy to dig through the census records to prove it but the territory was mostly germans and here is its voting patterns for the Catholic Party.

Contemplating dropping the first parts of the China AAR tomorrow or Sunday. The issue is that I'm not entirely sure I can post regularly after Wednesday or so, and it might be a week, two, or even as much as a month before I can post again. I'm likely over-estimating the potential problems, but it's possible that I'll start to post it and then the posting will have to stop, depending upon the feedback I get back Wednesday on a major project I just completed.

So here's the rub: post it as soon as I can even if I may have to stop for a long while before finishing it, or sit on it until I can be sure I can post it through to its conclusion?

I read that they are more likely to immigrate where other pops of the same type are getting their everyday needs fulfilled.

>>168664506
Finland is too small to be an Empire.

>>168664572
no just where other pops of the same type are, needs only factors into emigration
either way, you have no access to the world market so even with zero taxes and negative tarrifs your pops can't get any of their needs anyways, see how the pie charts are all yellow.

Yeah, that's pretty much the standard powergaming way to play. Be sure to reduce tariffs when you start to build factories.

You don't get to be Roman just because you murdered and raped Romans and tried to force your savage, barbarian religion on them. This is why the HRE isn't legitimate either.

Turks are simply mudslime pondscum. Nothing more, nothing less.

>>168664997
Focus on literacy and capitalist pops, while subsidizing your industries and removing tariffs if you can afford it. Also try to outlaw slavery, slave pops can't work in factories or anything.

There's no real way without mods

You can:
close factories and let rebels/enemy armies take provinces so that the inhabitants emigrate en masse
recruit minority soldier pops as irregulars and march them to their death over and over again
do tip 1 in your majority pop regions to flood minority areas with your primary culture


many popular mods include genocide features

they need to control your capital for that so you can just park your whole army there.

I used to do colonization runs where I'd annex an unciv as prussia, form germany as fast as I can and then let France and rebels have their way with Germany to push all my citizens to the colony, then release and play as.

Sorry lad but the head of the Roman Empire's state religion legitimized the Holy Roman Empire. Given that this head is considered more or less the direct conduit to God Himself this means that the HRE is effectively, a by a very wide margin, a far more legitimate successor than Byzantium.

>>168667536
Isn't there a CB for that? You fabricate it against the Ottoturks if they're still puppets.
>>168667661

btw is there any way to increase naval range?

>>168667661
Make sure you fuck prussia up asap. Don't let them form the north german federation. You can do this easily early on by forcing them to release rhineland or simply conquering it yourself.
Regardless, prepare for routine wars against the krauts
>>168667789
I can't transfer them to my sphere because the ottos dropped GP status. They're not in anyone's sphere and I can't use add to sphere for some reason

>>168667661

Naval range as in colonial range or naval supply range? Either way higher level naval bases, and also certain techs and higher level ships I think for the second.

>>168667674

Prussia is allied with UK, what do I do?

>>168668081
That's only if you allow for the idea that the Pope, who was subordinate to the Emperor, had a right to crown a new Emperor without the approval of the current Emperor. Which is patently absurd.

>>168668028
nope, because they're substates not puppets. I'm on HPM, it downloaded the newest version but its not I'm not sure which version it is
>>168668148
UK can't do shit if they don't land. You're gonna want a strong navy to cuck the channel

>>168667674
If you accept Francia and then the HRE as the successor to the Western Roman Empire because the pope says so, then Sultan Mehmed II and his Ottoman Empire is the legitimate successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, because the Patriarch of Constantinople at the time (Gennadius II) proclaimed him as such because he was still butthurt over the Fourth Crusade (and also because Mehmed promised him money and land.)

So, which is it?

>>168668148
That's good, the UK rarely interferes with mainland warfare. They'll mostly sit on their ass, target your colonies and try to snipe any naval units they can find.

>>168668148
Just spread your buttcheeks, give up Germany's rightful claim to Elsaß Lothringen and ally Prussia afterwards

>>168668225
I wouldn't know then, friend. Diplomacy with puppets/substates has always been fucky in this game.

What CK2 dlc is essential?

>>168668148
They may make the occasional landing, tho. Never too big, and only one at a time. So you'll want a spare stack available to wipe them every once in a while.

>>168668256
>So, which is it?
Obviously, the Patriarch of Constantinople's authority is subservient to the Pope of Rome, especially given this concerns the ROMAN Empire. But regardless, at this point in time the HRE has already been clarified as being the legitimate successor state, not the Eastern "Roman" "Empire"

Thought: Steamgruppe shitposters will shitpost in /gsg/ regardless of the fact that they are part of a steamgroup or not.

itt:
faggots who care about this shitty thread

>>168672891
Thought: Shitposter are the only thing keeping /gsg/ alive since paradox hasn't released a good game in 15 years.

I don't like Discord because I can barely load the damn thing.

>>168672972
Liquor sim was great

>>168672980
The problem with every single motherfucking discord is that they have moderators and shit, and are also not anonymous.
How about we just drop the whole thing? Or actually, is there a way for steamgroups to be formed that disallow actual comments?

The concept of "Shitposting" is a myth thrust upon our once jovial general by none other than the tyrannous, anti-fun R&I.

Down with R&I!

We must restore our God given right to Freedoms, Liberties, and Quality Funposting! This is a call to arms, fellow Kameraden !

this guy reposted for me. But I wasn't posting in jest friends, i was asking a legit question, and I do appreciate the feedback/discussion 2 threads ago.

>>168674148
Do you even need one in Ceuta considering? You could leave Tangiers for the amphibious lockdown but eithe delete Ceuta or Fez and Tangiers.

>>168674148
Remove all 3. It's not like it even matter when the only attacker ever will be MORROCCO

Believable worlds.
