Just play and learn the ropes, it can take a while but you eventually understand. Start by the simple games like EU4 or CK2. Tutorials are horrible but if you fiddle around long enough you can learn. Fuck I learnt HoI3 that way.

How do you expect Paradox to create more games and content if you don't buy all the games and the DLCs. Don't you want more Paradox games? These poor starving programmers need your money. Pirating is worse than pedophilia and you should feel bad.

Not my concern, considering Hearts of Iron IV is sliding that way already [while] they're making a fat fucking profit margin. I'm not interested in CK III if it's going to slide that far; AoE II and Civ IV remain enjoyable, I have my alternatives.

Played eu1 or eu2 on a lan with my brother and sister once.

Read some blog that was linked here ages ago about some chick playing eu3 or eu4.

Probably a very low % of grand strat players that are girls, but if a woman is into history and into gaming they may very well get into grand strat games.

My sister isn't very good at video games, but she's drawn to thematic genres, she isn't into history, but fantasy, so she'll play strategy games as long as they are about fantasy, so homm, warcraft, age of wonders.

Well really it's not this expacs fault, it's Institutions. China is more powerful than the Ottomans and India is as powerful as the HRE. They're never behind in tech at all and they get rich provinces and huge forcelimits.

That's part of the ledger I believe, only mods I'm running are the map graphics mods.

Apparently Ming can also support all that upkeep with the world's largest navy and it doesn't need production when it has the entire continent of trade and taxation. As well as being able to get 10% discipline to counteract any +50% shock and +50% fire damage on top of being able to get +10% infantry combat ability from their emperor decrees.

Not him but the problem is that it does a really fucking bad job of simulating internal rot, and since development = institutions and China has almost infinite fucking wealth, China will almost never fall behind anyone. In fact, in my latest game (playing as Japan), China was fucking AHEAD of Europe by 1600 by like three tech levels.

Except it's just not true unless they changed it within the past year, I've literally shamelessly bumped my own thread at like the fifth post before (because it was /eagg/ during a dead period). I've had people on /a/ tell me that each IP can only bump once too, or that you can only bump after 50 posts (I've bumped my own threads before), absurdly enough. OP can bump threads after someone else posts.

If only black people had fought like that when the White Man decided he was conquering every African country, enslaving any black that he liked and taking any natural resource that he wanted

oh man remember that time in history the entire HRE and Hungary let Ottoman troops march to the Netherlands to lay siege? this game is just too realistic

So question here. I'm playing CK2 with the HIP mod and I'm an emperor that's taken most of Europe, one of my titles is king of Sicily but sicily proper is actually taken by muslims in the west and byzantines in the east. One of the Casus Bellis I have is for a Holy war to retake Sicily, and it says that I can purge titles from all rulers that aren't of my faith. The CB outlines all of sicily including what's taken by the Byzantines. If I use that will the Byzantines also come in? Can I claim their territories too?

How do I beat Ouichi as Shizmazu, they have 4.2 morale whilst I have 301 so they always beat me even though I have far more troops

I've played only a little bit of Stellaris but the DLC just feels like more stuff that doesn't work tacked on to stuff that needed fixed. I also pirated it and activated it on Steam in case you're asking if it's worth buying in a roundabout way.

>He doesn't realize how shit /civ4xg/ really is
Either way, even people there say that Stellaris isn't that great. That will remain true until Paradox tries to fix the core game instead of adding more lackluster content. Maybe it'll be worthwhile in like a year or two after more DLC, patches, and mods.

Lads, how soon do you think there will be a hotfix for 1.20 (MoH)?

Don't they usually release a hotfix after a couple of days, or am I wrong?

>>173628583
Ming has been making tributaries of Indian estates and nations in Malacca peacefully, but has waged 14 wars to make Chagatai a tributary and they haven't accomplished it. I don't know how if Ming gets bonuses to diplomacy for the purpose of establishing tributaries, but I don't think they should have such long range, they are Emperor of China after all, not of Asia.

Also, nations released by Shogunate japan are a little weird, you can't use their conquest/reconquest casus belli.

>>173629237
It's bizarre, sometimes they conquer all the natives and at other times they completely ignore them.

Usually it's only Spain and Portugal who conquer natives, too.
