I know that on the forum, they said they were going to do events to transition the sort of "Romano-[Insert Region]" into more medieval-esque Romance cultures. Like the transition from Romano-Gallic to French under Frankish rule. Only on sort of a wider scale in a bunch of areas like Britain and Pannonia.

I just want a comfy Romance African kingdom tbqh.

It looks like the game was trying to flip those cultures to "Latin" but I guess they started flipping back to Roman? Not really sure.

The General Magneric was just one of many key military and administrative figures that were caught up in the post-revolt purge. Anyone associated with the guilty parties was heavily targeted, and faction members were eliminated with impunity. Gallus was known for his harsh but effective rule, but considering the kindness with which his father governed, scholars speculate to just how effective he really was.
>>
>>188006401
Either it's not implemented or the conditions weren't right, then.

Either way, I can't feel comfy until it's implemented. Or I mod it in for myself, but that's never going to happen. Already got one mod sitting on the shelf in perpetuity.

Sempronius of Pavia, aforementioned historian, was another victim. Thankfully for him (and us, as without him we'd not have nearly as much knowledge about the early 7th Century in the Western Empire), he was spared the noose, and instead lived out the remainder of his days in service to the Prefect of Septum Provincae.

The other poster's thread was legitimate, you didn't post within acceptable parameters. Therefore, you suffer the loss of your thread.

You want your meme threads to stay up? You post it when it's appropriate, not to get the last laugh in being the one to host /gsg/. You don't own /gsg/. Fuck off, you retarded schizo fuckwit.

Tell me when you're out of high school and this post won't come off to me as pretentious.

Furthermore, you class A retard, people do post their threads in that time span.

What the fuck even is the point of you trying to dictate the OP every time? You think it has to be the same sterile point every time? Does it appease your little Reddit base?

Like I said, you're a fucking retard with a power fantasy. You think anything that isn't your stupid infopic and anything that isn't the exact OP the way you want it written is a shitpost.

At this point, I have to just assume that everyone of your OP posts is a shitpost because no one can be this devoted to a power fantasy of retardation.

I didn't realize Reddit owned a format of spacing now.

>Most of them are.Like I said before the historical threads used to be nice.It's not everything about the infopic, it's about the quality of the thread in general.

And the quality of the thread goes down when R&I OP is used. Because no other general on the entire board reminds people constantly to report and ignore shitposters. It is a common sense rule, it is a rule in the guidelines. It's just a way to leave the R&I mark on /gsg/ because there is nothing else otherwise.

A non-infopic thread, with r/paradoxplaza shitposters trying to derail it desperately, is ten times better than a mong R&I thread.

It's obnoxious to read and the only reason someone might use it is because of Reddit.

>A non-infopic thread, with r/paradoxplaza shitposters trying to derail it desperately, is ten times better than a mong R&I thread.
Compare this thread and the last infopic thread to the two last shitposter threads.It's easy to see which is better.

It`s clear that you are just mad about your shitposter thread getting deleted and is now trying to derail this thread, I won't bother replying anymore.

It was the OP of the shitposter thread, who's probably Reed, they are part of one of the shitpoter groups. He went to raid another thread and since he makes threads here only to shitpost because they hate the infopic, he got banned and his thread deleted.
When he ban evades and tries to make another thread the mods will remember his ban and ban him for 30 days if we have some luck.

Nation of Blobbenburg is seeking to form glorious Prussia. Having sampled Humanism to ensure peace between peace between different denominations of Christianity, promises of Reformed to ensure that feel redundant. Meanwhile Protestants have suggested that proper State Church would ensure that clergymen will assist in whatever goal the secular government has in mind.

How should nation, that eventually seeks to form proper German Empire, proceed in your opinion?

That would've been good idea. I thought Muscovy needed Neva to form Russia, it was held by Muscovite ally Denmark that was pretty strong at the time with both Juniors.

My political maneuvering in general has been really weak. Only reliable ally is Austria, currently I also have Castille (getting rekt by rebellious subjects supported by all their neighbors basically) and small-ass Trier who was some time invaded by Austria-backed Baden (who also blocks some provinces needed to form Germany). I had to pay war reparations.

yea let's cry about memeclave that can simply be turned off and ignore that after 5 years, plotters still try to assassinate your spy when he reveals their plot, completely ignoring the possibility that you might not mind it and might even want to help them.

or the fact that when your spymaster is attacked, he will clearly point out who did it and even get a "plot is revealed" flag but you can't imprison the attacker without invoking tyranny.

5 years into the game and counting, intrigue is still broken

In your ideal strategy game, how would you portray medieval combat?
If it was up to me, I would make it so that armies do not necessarily engage when in the same province, unless ordered to do so. Instead they begin a series of skirmishes that slowly escalate to a pitched battle.
>>
>>188023609
That sounds good, it would make sense that completely outnumbered army would simply attempt immediate retreat for example.

>>188023609
like mount and blade warband, no such thing as provinces, just holdings and open field where armies may meet

I've yet to do succesfull Horde run in EU4, what are some tips? Early game is what I'm having trouble with.
>50% tech penalty right of the bat to get over with
>bad economy to support lot of cavalry
>cant blob around much because AE brings shit ton of rebels
>most surrounded by big meanines all over, Timurids, Muscovy, Lithuania, Ming etc.
>Horde Unity, looting provinces and all that fills it up but what to do when you have exhausted possibilities for possible wars? Wasting military points to raise it seems such a drag because then I might fall behind tech

I get that you can spawn the reneissance by developing your province but that eats tons of point and that might leave you behind tech.
>>
>>188023609
I would put great emphasis on archers/cavalry mechanics, followed by a good combat interface that is better than the shit we currently have, then followed by terrain rebalance to make mountains/forts act like they should
>>
>>188023609
Different formations for your units and how they affect combat.
>>
>>188024071
see: >>187933275
>>
>>188024078
I've tried Timurids->Mughals and failed repeatedly. Admittedly many failures were due to player errors in the like of "I'll just give Persians some more autonomy when rebels hit 80%" and then "oopsie I forgot, now there are 30k rebels." One time I could've possibly pulled this off if I had had free diplomat to instantly declare war on Delhi after truce expired before they can join coalition. If I try this again before they completely rework the are I'll probably consider trucebreaking if I can from Mughals after the war as I can then make Persia into vassal (that hopefully doesn't immediately get everybody support their independence) if they seem to be getting too many rebels.

>>188025619
It's unironically not. It's HOI4, followed by vanilla EU4 and then followed by CK2. If you want to play CK2 I'd recommend playing as a HRE count and focusing on slowly acquiring duchies and cultivating your dynasty instead. Don't play with a king/emperor because its too hard to manage the vassals for a newbie

Venice is a good choice for newbies as well.

I once MOOR'D North Africa and thought we (me and Ottomans as ally) destroyed Mamluks. At one point the map opened up to Indian Ocean and saw that Mamluks had one province in small island of Diego Garcia south of India.
Then later on I backstabbed Ottomans and and released Mamluks back to action (and vassalised them) from Ottoman lands, I checked map and during the time Mamluks were banished to that little island they managed colonise most of Papua New-Guinea.
So near end of the game Andalusia had land in South East Asia.

CKII, My best ruler in 5 generations, at succession he has at least 10 in every stat, 20 Martial, gets declared war on by a force twice his size, through allies and quick action he wins, gaining combat experience to become a Brilliant Strategist and Heavy Infantry Leader all before his 30th birthday. Goes on a Pilgrimage to hedge his bets and give him more chance of a long, successful rule. He marries a genius, who quickly has twins, Boy and Girl with the genius being inherited by the boy.

Gets Cancer on his 30th birthday while that son, ready to be perfectly molded into a God-Emperor, is only 3 years old.

Does he have any hope of seeing his son grow old enough to take the throne, with the help of his master level education? I'm willing to get my balls taken off for this.

I added a negative penalty to one of their National Ideas which heavily reduces production/tax because that resulted into building spam which then resulted into an exponential growth of about 300-400 ducats per month income by 1600 due to how Urbanization works in M&T. I'm trying to balance it right now so it doesn't lead to their collapse but also prevents the exponentially growing "20% urbanization in 1600" Ming, and also to make them actually somewhat defeatable if you play as a nation next to them (in vanilla M&T, they get about 4-5mil manpower in a century and it becomes pretty much physically impossible to defeat them as Korea for an example)

I've played two full campaigns next to Ming and they exist in perpetual prosperity and stability without a single rebel appearing for the entire campaign. They just sit there with an undefeatable army and an endless supply of ducats, coupled with a massive urbanization of 100+ urban pops per province on most of their coast. If that's "how it should be" then I disagree with it
>>
>>188041409

No disrespect lad, but adding a malus right off the bat is a retarded way of balancing. You are not balancing, but adding a random penalty just because.
Considering China had around 150M and Korea 32M (according to some data I just quickly found on internet) it just makes sense that China BTFOs you. 4M is just 3% of its population.

Yeah I'd add events, modifiers and shit like that but that's too much work for something that can be added this way, and I also have more control over it when its just a single idea. Also so far it seems to be working quite well - Ming now has a positive income, good manpower, almost no unrest and is close to paying its debts, but also doesn't have a 150 fucking ducats of monthly income, which means that it will remain as an uncivilized/non-urbanized nation in late game, contrary to "more urban pops than all of Europe combined" version of vanilla M&T

That's not happening though. China has a lot of population but very little urbanisation. It is even concentrated in a few starting cities.
About the rest, adding modifiers out of nowhere that seem to correct the situation does not actually correct the situation. That's probably backfiring you in the future. But well, it is your submod so do whatever you want, of course.

Now that they're stabilized their income spiked and are about to increase it by another 10 ducats when they pay one of their debts in a year or two, halving the 25 ducats interest. They also have a significantly large army for that time (and considering their current autonomy that's going to keep dropping) so I'll take this as a good enough fix for the current issues. When gigau finally releases the rest of the estates I'll take a deeper look into them

Go launch up a game as Bulgaria or Serbia in vanilla M&T and post the results. Persia or Fars works too. Or wait, form the HRE with any nation inside it, or maybe try starting with Spain?

i would also make it so that you only get to control troops you directly lead, or that are loyal to only you (personal guard, family/retainers).

for example (in ck2 terms), when you raise the realm levies you don't get to move each and every single one of them. you just set a rally point and wait until the lords answer the call (some of them might ignore it if they dislike you). then you get to personally command it. but if you want another unit to go somewhere else (in case of a 2 front war), you must appoint another commander, give him some guidelines ("be defensive", "do not leave friendly territory", etc) and hope he won't screw up.

The fact that he got into the war at all shows he's as retarded as everyone makes him out to be. Bismarck spins in his grave even to this day over Willy's stupidity. War is a continuation of diplomacy, his diplomacy was so bad he ended up in a war against both Russia and France, but also Britain, the United States, Japan, and Italy. Not even Hitler, the supreme dumbfuck of historical German leaders, was stupid enough to put Germany in that situation. Willy never had any chance whatsoever in such a war, the only reason Germany held out at all was because of the static nature of trench warfare.

I've played with Castile, Enrique inherits Castile regardless of what happens and Pedro dies due to the scripted event in the pic. Here's description from the localization for the event:

>castilian_civil_war.18.desc:1 "After our defeat in Montiel, our ruler fled to the castle of Montiel, where he became trapped. In an attempt to bribe Bertrand du Guesclin, Pedro was lured into a trap outside his castle refuge. In the confrontation his stepbrother Enrique stabbed Pedro multiple times. His death marks the end of the Castilian Civil War. His victorious half-brother was crowned Enrique II of Castile."

Wanna know what the trigger for this event is? A monthly check of whether Castile is in a civil war, with a 5% chance for this event to trigger.

You as Pedro has to finish ENR before the time by when the war ended in real life. Should you defeat ENR you can continue with the De Borgoña Dynasty.
In fact, even then, you can continue playing the game. This is just a case of an event that was ongoing before the start date. I fail to see how this is, according to you (and after several goalposts) a bad design.
And even then, devs have said several times that there is some railroad in the first years to ensure that the ongoing conflicts resemble real life in most cases.
Anyway, it is easier "to fix" rather than to create.

America will send all their armies over one at a time, and they will all die because the AI is incapable of doing a proper naval invasion. Eventually, America will white peace the war (thus getting both of you out cuz America will be the war leader) and try to manifest destiny the fuck out of you. However, your army will have artillery, and theirs will be a bunch of mobilized infantry, so it'll be quick and easy to deal with.

Just because people make jokes about "shekels" doesn't mean they're anti semitic nazis.

The more the goyim learn of Israel, the more they support us and the more they will learn about the horrors of Hamas and the threat my people face.

Maybe you should stop feeling offended in the place of me and my people and let people make their jokes, you useless golem.

The POP system is terrible for war
It's less noticeable in larger countries, but if you release South Africa as the UK, you're limited to a single brigade, even though you have a total of soldiers that could support 3 or 4 brigades
And encouraging soldiers in your most populous state doesn't increase the brigade cap for several decades, meaning you are unable to expand until then, because even though Oranje and Transvaal have a much smaller population, they also have that 1 brigade, making any war with them a stalemate
The Zulu on the other hand have 9 brigades, meaning they could easily wipe you out in a war

Revolts were frequent, but none of them boiled to the point of forcing the Emperor out of his position. He was loathed by his realm, but they were helpless to do anything about him. What a far cry from the Good Manichaeus.
>>
>>188055412
they should have made it so that soldier pops form a pool or something like that. the way it is now you can get 10 provinces to have 900 soldiers each and not be able to field a single brigade when you should be able to field 9.

The project was, and is, severely mismanaged. It's blatantly obvious the game was rushed and they didn't have time to finish even the basic systems, let alone auxiliary QoL stuff or graphics. The team for HOI4 is insultingly small and bereft of resources - except for 2D artists, which it has so many of that they're able to waste time making in-game portraits of the Developers for their World War Wednesday stream.

In other words, what they need are programmers and game designers, and what they have instead are artists and """content designers""" (idea guys who can't code). The whole profit model of HOI4, then, hinges on selling stuff that doesn't require code knowledge, like focus trees, portraits, and equipment art. While all the coders are busy actually trying to finish the game. Except there are less than 5 of them so they're never going to be able to do it.

Meanwhile, HOI4 sold over a million copies and preorders were higher than for any previous PDS title. Honestly I can't imagine why the team is so understaffed and underfunded, unless either the project manager is just awful at using what resources they're given, or someone in an executive position hates HoI and refuses to spend more than they have to.

Of course if you post any of this on Paradox Plaza you're banned for flaming

On the eve of the new year, the realm was informed that the Emperor Gallus had suddenly collapsed at his meal at a lavish party.

I understand that I'm supposed to disband undermanned brigades after a big war, but I don't really understand why. I get that undermanned brigades won't reinforce properly, but surely it's better to have 3000 soldiers who won't reinforce than to have none? Can I actually build a bigger army by disbanding brigades and recruiting new ones, or can I only build a better / more resilient but smaller one?

Much controversy was generated when the new Emperor introduced his wife to the court. Not only was he old enough to be her father, but she was also a Manichean; a remnant of the era of anti-Christianity under the rule of the Emperor Regulus.

I'd like to try my hand at a Persia game of some sort. Maybe something to do with freeing the Zoroastrians from Islamic rule. I have a few different mods and countries I want to give a shot so this is obviously subject to change.

Interestingly, Muhammad never seemed to spawn, at least at his historical start date. I do wonder if he will appear later since I can't remember if I selected dynamic or historic Rise of Islam. Rather disappointed, I was hoping to see if the Eastern Empire would fall to Islam.

I don't care if you use a name or not if you're going to compile it anyway. But if you weren't there's no reason not to use a name in order to help people find your previous posts.

I modded in Orthodox crusades for a previous run, and I accidentally left it in, so I had to curtail Byzantium after taking the Middle East. So I used an invasion CB on them and took Trebizond and Anatolia, and set up two independent Myaphisite kings there (this time without console).

This is Africa. Strangely satisfying. Austria-Hungary decided to take up colonialism in this game, and the Dutch went wild while all the Spanish managed to do was, for some reason, take the Egyptian Mediterranean coast. But nothing else.

Fuck you and fuck those games, they are literally one of the most boring shit I've ever touched.

They REALLY need to fix that bullshit. They've supposedly balanced the event troops by making them have terrible stats and making them go away if Vlad dies, but 1. 50k troops totally makes up for shit stats and 2. Vlad never gets killed in battle so he can never be stopped.

Okay, first off I need to say, do NOT do that retarded thing where you spam four letter memes at me as a joke because I genuinely need your help here.

It's important to note these weren't always the same three guys, people just did it depending on how they felt.
