>>170768763

How to annex the Boer states, and how to annex Luxembourg, playing as Germany for my first time, so I dont know what to do

>>170770369
Give Egypt to either ottomans, france, or itself, but not Britain.

>>170770452
Own the british territories in South Africa before 1900 I suppose. That's when the boer war events pop up. Build a good navy and you should be able to take it from them easy. Do it asap too so you can get as many german pops there as possible so you have a white and based südafrikums-germaniums as a puppet sometime after 1900

>>170770452
Sphere Luxembourg and make sure they aren't a puppet before forming Germany. If you already did form Germany, then do the exact same thing above and just wait until they petition for annexation, though it might take a while.
For the Boer states, Britain is scripted to be the one triggering the Boer War even if they no longer hold the Cape, the only one that can change anything by conquering the Cape is the Netherlands, as they get Boer as accepted.

>>170770674
>>170770631
Fuck, so sphereing them is worthless if you arent the UK or the Dutch, so who can you annex through sphereing them? I know that Madagascar and Hawaii are possible, and as for Luxembourg, you cant annex them if they are still a puppet of Neherlands? I cant remove them from being a puppet, though I never get interested in European lands so I just pass it

I decided to go back to HoI4 with the Modern Day mod using the Modern Day start.

I had a lot of trouble with every war until I decided to make a division with 10 modern tanks. It took about a decade to build a full force of 24 divisions. After Vietnam (my eyed-up final boss) was destroyed by these tanks in less than a month, I jokingly declared on India to end my run.

My fucking tanks were literally unstoppable. I saw 2 divisions take on 50 divisions from across a river and route them in about 7 seconds.

Even though HoI4 is easy, it felt good to go from losing my capital from a Bangladesh naval invasion to capitulating India 3 months with 1/3 the amount of divisions.

So /gsg/ I want to get back at CK2, but the last time I played the newest dlc was Charlemagne. Yeah, it's been a long time.

>>170776508
After a hard fought campaign I managed to defeat the Karling's by chasing their armies around the map with superior mobility before they could ever create a big enough force to defeat me. It also helped that there was a plague, 2 wars, and an untimely demise for the previous king on the field of battle.

I went into debt countless times.
I owe 350 gold to the Jews.
I threw all of Francia into chaos.
I became horribly injured.
I committed countless horrible satanic acts.
And lastly I spawned several bastards, one of which is a demon.

All in all I think it was worth it. I wanted those 2 counties and I fucking got them.
Fuck you Karling.

And then I'll successfully Great Moraviablob from the Old Gods to 1453, having a grand time civilizing the east and fighting Italians and Aztecs
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WcAn3QiwRyyANO5UH4uNV_rHx8ZrTXSZnKA0t6TLGss/edit?usp=sharing

I feel like the power to abduct people with Lucifer's Own then sacrifice them to Satan is WAAAAAAY too powerful.

Yeah, even just the ability to automatically kill somebody in prison with no political repercussions would be broken, and satanists can kidnap people more cheaply and effectively than assassinations.

It's trivial to just kidnap all your unhappy vassals, sacrifice, and then replace them with other satanists, or people you have possessed.

I guess its kind of cool, especially the unit cosmetics. However I don't feel it is really applicable to the world, Voltaire's nightmare is the only true overhaul of EU4.

They were as advanced as sub-saharans in terms of military technology, yes.
In fact, I think the Africans were more advanced in several regards. For example, they didn't use bronze until far into the 2nd millennium.

Every faction has the exact same ones and it is kind of frustrating, especially considering that New Vegas literally has securitrons and the Enclave has Vertibirds as Calvary. It is also annoying how the avatars are not present in the actual fallout series. Basically why would you give me some generic US army guy as opposed to someone in power armor, or perhaps a raider costume

I'm quite worried about my heir's spouse options.

My current ruler has 9 children and countless bastards across the world.
Of the 9 legitimate children only 1 of them is a genius, but 2 of his lovers in the court have what I believe are unclaimed genius children of appropriate age to marry my heir.

Now I didn't exactly keep track of all the bastards that were being spawned, most of them were assumed to not be mine.

So my question is if I marry off my heir to one of these bastards and they turn out to be my child that I forgot about so many years ago will I end up getting a bunch of inbred imbeciles instead of perfect geniuses?

Every year around August I get a message that somedude "the goldsmith" and his wife came to my court, but immediately they "vanish without a trace" on the same day. Do I have a serial killer somewhere who preys on goldsmiths?

Johan should really fix the siege RNG, there's nothing more frustrating than having 5 cycles fail at >60% with an attrition that basically wipes your entire manpower reserve, to only have the same thing happen again at 35% for another 20% loss of manpower

Ah yes, this myth that blacks are european again cropping up. Though I'm betting you're the type who agrees on the requirement that they can name a European ancestor, despite being 90% black.

Got Casus Belli on Vietnam through an event and decided to invade. Burma and China decided to try and stop me, fending off the Chinese hordes was a new experience for me but they had no navy so I just blockaded their entire shoreline until they gave me Hong Kong

Blacks could be bantu, or swahili people, they could actually indian, they could native american, they could be the first japanese people. While I see them as blue strawberries, there's nothing wrong with it it's just unappealing, you've got to admit your logic is shit. My personal belief is only when you are fully indistinugishable from the native population are you a native, so it's not just 2 generations to call yourself english but like 4
