>>182576321
Something with muslims

>>182577337
New councilor tasks are nice
Artifacts are decent mini-buffs
Societies are shitty and too much time was spent on meme Satanics
Hermetics are basically the de facto society because insane state bonuses
Domincans are good for killing heretics
Secretly Relgious is annoying as fuck
Overall, 4/10

>>182577586
What about the satanist meme? Is it balanced now?

why
playing empires is boring

>>182577683
Instead of making it psuedo-realistic and just be about people who hate the church anhd work to corrode moral authority
You use dark mana to impregnate women, assassinate men, and turn children into demons

Aparrently, they made it more difficult to accomplish tasks and made it more risky to do actions, with inquisitors hunting you out
I play with it on, but I never use it because the other societies are boring, too

>>182577337
Secret societies: shallow and unbalanaced
Devil worshippers: shallow and unbalanced, also more supernatural bullshit
Artifacts: unbalanced, has gamebreaking bugs
Societies: besides the big three and the devil worshippers there really aren't any
Overall: shipped literally unfinished, alchemy ingredients had no use because they didn't bother finishing alchemy prior to releasing the DLC

Verdict: overpriced and unbalanced, another fine addition to CK2

Sort of, but rather than just an abstract "adm, dip, mil" development, its rural, urban, and upper class pops. Most of the provinces of the world are just rural pops, with only regions like Italy and France having significant urban pops at the beginning of the game. Personally, I find it enjoyable building up a good infrastructure so that your urban pops can grow and prosper

The same can be said about Victoria 2 populations if you really want to get into it. They are all just numbers with a culture modifier, ideology modifier, religion modifier, and needs modifier that affect your taxes modifier, militancy modifier, and consciousness modifier. Again, not saying the M&T is revolutionary or anything, but its still levels ahead of vanilla EU4, which doesn't represent population besides in the most abstract of ways

MCfag here. This is the world in 1672 AD.

The Great Powers during that time are

>Ming Empire (with colonies in Siberia and California, the latter is known as Fusang)
>Byzantine Empire (surprisingly it's not as expansionist as I thought it would be)
>Sultanate of Iberia (The Abus of Al-Andalus conquered the other Great Taifas and united the peninsula - the Reconquista failed early in the Middle Ages, and the Pope couldn't be assed to reclaim it, don't ask me why, so I just went with it)
>Sultanate of Arabia
>Raj of Kosala
>United Kingdom (founded by the descendants of Halfdan Whiteshirt and later ruled by the French Widonids, later the bastard descendants, the Kabbis and now the Hoods post Civil War after George II was killed in battle by Cromwell, and later Cromwell got BTFO, leading to the establishment of English Constitutional Monarchy)
>Empire of Numidia-Qartaj (honestly, the weirdest thing that was even spawned in this game, Berbers basically going WE WUZ CARTHAGE N SHEEEIT)

unfortunatly for our little Mahraja their is a huge obstacle, in that he needs to contend with the... unorthodox administration created by his ancestor, the founder of the kingdom.

His only vassals are the Estates-Generals, the Military Estates, headed by the Order of the Bulls of Rishabha, are in control of overseas possessions and excess castles.
The Lord Mayor is in control of all the cities.
And the Lord Upadhyaya is in control of all the temples and holy sites. Meaning that this hyper centralized state can work either brilliantly or be so against the new Mahraja that it's insane.

the ambitious and greedy Mahraja plans on finishing what his grandmother, Mahrajani Thiunaka Jainupur, known throughout the lands as 'The Devil', her tyrranical rule was against everything the Tirthankanas teach about Jainism. She spread the kingdom far and wide, taking Muscat, Basra, Socotra, Aden, and the Maldives for her purposes. And when their she slaughterd many innocents. Making Muscat now primarily jain with settlers and forced converts.

His rule will either have to prove his critics wrong, or make them regret proving them right...

>Danish-speaking Brazil (the reason for secession would be as old as the Reformation itself: Scandinavia is Protestant while Brazil is Catholic and they show no signs of converting anytime soon)

Mahraja Mahap steps onto the terrace of the grand temple in Dhamalpur, dedicated to Rishabhanatha, the first Jain, administering it is the Lord Updadhyaya.

"My Mahraja, do you ask forgiveness to all living beings and do you forgive all living beings in return?" The Uphadhyaya continues.
"My Mahraja, do you vow to uphold Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truth), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (faithfulness to your spouce), and Aparighara (non-possesiveness), the pillars of our faith?"
"My Mahraja, do you vow to be a protector of our people? If you do then the crown awaits."

On the throne sits the crown of Gujarat, almost yesterday the people of this kingdom could only see the crown being worn bythe she-devil. But now the Mahraja takes the oath, and dons the crown, to cheering and fanfare.

"I, Mahap of the Jainupur dynasty, and with the blessing of Ajinath, do hereby rightfully assume the crown of Gujarat"

while on his face he wore his gregarious smile, while in his heart he said only one thing.

'I never promised, let that be remembered, I never said I promised.'

Little did they know his plans.

Mahap stood on the palace walls in Aden, looking out deep into the Arabian desert. His mind was full of wonder.

'How could these people possibly prosper in sand?' He thought of also the recently declared Great Jihad against the sultan of Syria, who recently claimed a city called 'Yerusalem'. Supposedly to these Mohammedans it is a very holy city.

He looked back into Aden, its city full of Mohammedans who have lived here for hundreds of years. He looks back again to the desert, the realm of Emir Uways of Yemen.

His mother and Heir Namalladevi stands with him.

"My son, what bothers you so?" Her dwarf like stature overshadowed by her own son.

"Mother, I am going to break Ahimsa." Her mother didnt even look shocked. The Mahraja turned again to the city of Aden. His eyes gleaming in moonlight.

"These Mohammedans, they are poor fighters and even worse administrators, but their richness and tenacity is more than commendable. They will come back stronger, one day strong enough to drive us out of our trade routes. They must be brought to heel."

His mother merely smiled. Her ambition was well known throughout the land and a stain for all Jains.

"You are like me and my mother, the devas are who you sacrifice to and Ahimsa is a suggestion, not a rule. But what about your promise at the coronation?"

"Mother, I promised nothing." He turned to the balcony again, his hands gripping the stone like the talons of a mighty bird.

"Tomarrow, we declare war. We are going to become lords of this land Arabia." His mother looked startled.

"We?" The Mahraja turned to his mother again.

"Of course I will need someone to be the lord of these Arabians, and you would stab me in the back if you ever had the chance." His mother laughed.

"My little lord! So you would have me rule over beasts instead?" The son embraced his dwarf mother.
"The Lady of Beasts." He said before going off into the palace, and sending out messages to his estates-generals

The first battle begins, with the first troops landing in Aden

The Mahrajas kinsman Katudeva is the Grandmaster of the Bulls of Rishabha, a strong man with enough skill to behead rampaging elephants in a single stroke. But he is a wierd man who flicnches at rodents and insects. He is leading the center and if he manages to hold himself together will be able to take down any foe.

Malandevi is another kinswoman, a cruel mistress who is rumered to whip her husband, she is as good a swordsman as Katudeva, having the strength to slay a tiger in a single stroke. The only fear for her is that she would take too much pleasure in slaughter to think ahead.

Singhana Nolamba is the last commander, his head is screwed on tight. A shy but honest warrior and Shaivist. A renowned holy warrior who faught in the first battles against Mohammedans in Muscat under the she-devil.

The battle was won handedly, and as the brave Rishabhan-blessed armies pursued their Mohammedan prey deeper into Yemen they crushed them mercilessly. Katudeva remarked that "The fear we sewed into the men of Yemen will run deep for many generations." Losing less than 1000 men, compared to nearly all the forces of Emir Uways.

The occupations of Sanaa and Taiiz begins.

The Emir capitulated as his capital fell under the hands of Mahraja Mahab. In the chaos the Mahraja saw a very... different opportunity. A lady of the Emir's family fell into his capture, a beautiful arabic woman. So as part of the Emir's surrender he took her as a concubine.

Later that night the Mahraja entered his chambers.

"My lady Hashid." He stated bluntly but very respectfully to the very obviously angry Mohammedan woman in his chambers.

"You son of whores and cattle. Allah will surely strike you down and save me, he would not allow the daughter of an Emir to fall to the polytheists." The Mahraja merely laughed.

"See if Allah can stop this dick!" he bellowed before ripping his pants off. The lady immediatly began freaking out and running around the room trying to avoid the sex mad Mahraja.

That night a very sad Lady Hashid and a very satisfied Mahraja laid in his chambers.

"I wonder how many wives I could take before my estate generals revolted..." He said out loud. The Lady turned to him.

"If you are as much a monster as you showed yourself to be, you should just be able to behead them all." The mahraja thought about this proposition.

"I am like my grandmother after all." The lady turned to her side again.

"The butcher of Muscat. May she be burning in Jahannam for all eternity." The Mahraja looked upon her.

"What is this Jahannam?" The lady turned to him and stared directly into his soul.

"A place of hellfire, and boiling torture for the unbelievers, where you feel infinite hunger but can feed only upon bitter herbs and feces." The Mahraja nodded his head approvingly.

"This. Is this why you Mohammedans always keep fighting, to stay out of Jahannam?" The lady looked horrified and declined to speak.

"One of these days, I will figure out how you Mohammedans always manage to keep fighting, despite all odds."

And soon after the last casualty of this battle would be the birth of a child for the Jainupur dynasty. As the Mahraja, despite the protests of his estate-generals, feels confident in his abilities to control and keep the state afloat, he prepares for war with the exiled Sultan of Bahrain. A man called 'the Just'.

The Mahraja hopes in his heart of hearts he can send this man to this 'Jahannem' and keep Bahrein safe from any re-encroachment from mohammedans.

But for now he must wait, Jains are not used to such excitement and the Mahraja would rather not push his luck with his estate-generals much further until he is 100% sure they pose no threat to his reign.

On the next episode of the Gujarati AAR, will the Mahraja be able to keep his reign stable with both the Lord Mayor and Military Estate vying for the throne? Can he survive the claimants for his throne being in the dozens? Tune in tomarrow for more adventures from Gujarat!

Four years into the rule of Menkas the whole of the Rumonov faith were defending against the Polish King Boleslaw's incursion into the tribal lands of Lietuva. While their forces were deep in Polish territory Menkas capitalized, and quickly swept into the lands surrounding his own making quick work of the local garrisons. Soon after, the Poles had been humiliated and left disabled for decades to come, what was left of the Rumonov forces returned to their homes.

Further capitalizing on the misfortunes of his brethren he engolfed the what was left of the local tribes and had united the Prusiskan people under one banner. But soon after there was a great revolt, led by a discontented tribal leader. After a long and bloody war, Menkas emerged victorious, but only by the skin of his teeth and severely in debt.

Lacking the funds and any male heirs he is hesitant to expand his domain. He sits in wait for an opportunity to arise.

Where the FUCK do I check my mercantilism in EU4?

>there aren't any real cultural or linguistic differences between Americans in California or Americans in Maine
You're wrong but you're not wrong
There are huge cultural differences between different parts of the US, but you're right that the USA will never balkanize. American Identity/Patriotism is too strong, people have regional differences but they consider them to be just that, REGIONAL. The idea of leaving the USA would be unthinkable even if they fucking hate people from [insert state you don't like]

>>182605883
Listen buddy it took me 10+ tries to bring them back from the brink, cut me some slack.

>>182605737
You're forgetting the fact that in the mod, a cataclysm happened and America was thrusted into the dark ages. Which means no internet, no education, no central government to speak of, etc.

>>182606146
circumstances in 1860 are wildly different from circumstances in 2017 you fucking retard.

In 1860 niggers wanted freedom
In 2017 niggers want equality
Not that much of a difference

What a sad way to go.

Only nations I've ever played in vic2

>geraniums
>Netherlands
>Belgium
>Portugal
>Australia
>Sweden
>Brazil

Am I missing out on anything by not playing as the savages?

>>182606261
I literally just bought EUIV a week ago and I have no idea how the economy works.
Don't I need them in case someone attacks me? Or can I just switch them on when war starts without too much trouble?

Yeah last time I played the whole region was 1 province

They change the provinces sometimes, Genoa used to be 1 province too

>>182607005
Man, railroads were a game changer for the US

Some of the most enjoyable nations in vicky start off uncivilized.
Persia is the prime example of this.

>>182606920
forts block enemy movement (even though sometimes the ai can completely ignore some of them). thus people just tend to build one for every other province at borders and some at strategic locations.

each fort costs 1 gold. judging from pic, you are paying 15 gold/month. unless you are really confident in your economy, this is seriously bad. consider demolishing plondiv and 2 at southern greece, while mothballing the rest. when you mothball a fort, you pay 50% of the maintenance and the garrison diminishes.

>>182606919

uncivilized nations are rediculously fun if you know how to play them

>>182607065
i am not sure, but i imagine a weird combination of you getting only the provinces you occupy yourself and your allies occupying provinces together with you.

>>182607510
Not him, but I stopped mothballing when possible because of the bonus to army experience retention.

I'll ask HPM. I don't have any idea what's causing this, the checksum is the official CCHM.

It's not like it matters, as the event clears it up, just really weird that it would be scripted to temporarily give you these retarded borders.

How do I get into hoi3? Owned it on steam for years

Open it occasionally but don't know what the fuck im doing

As Germany I got beaten by fucking France, don't want to deal with all of the colonies Italy, GB or France has to play them and Soviet union is daunting

>>182607817
yeah there's that too, but as byzantium spending 15 ducats/month at that point is beyond me.
