>2011 Osama Bin Laden is killed in Abbottabad Pakistan by US Navy SEALS in Operation Neptune Spear.

>implying

Anyway, what mods have updated lately?

>>14723892

Bin Laden died in December 2001.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/2001/12/26/report-bin-laden-already-dead.html

Does anyone have a link to older archives? I need CK2+ for 2.7.0.1

>>14724006

>Didn't get CK2 when it was free

No sympathy from me m8.

>>14724314

>owning a steam acount

>wasting your time downloading a game you already pirated anyway

Besides, you can't actually play the game without always having steam on right? So you get a version of the game that has bloatware attached to it.

>>14724329

Steam version of CK2 starts and plays fine without steam.

>>14724016

No one cares

>>14724016

Good job, be double sure to breed out all the gr*eks and spread into europe

Been enjoying the fan fork of After the End. Will the original mod devs ever work on it again or are they permanently kill?

>>14724427

Byzantines get old fast. It's fun to play the bad guy sometimes.

Anti-Polish is code word for anti-White.

>>14724016

go full meme please

reform mongolia as the turks

>>14724386

But you have to keep steam installed on your PC to play it.

>>14724016

It may have been funnier if you had converted to Tengrism since Tengri was referred to as "god of the Turks".

Have the Parajews updated the anti-border gore update yet?

I was playing a grand strategy game the other day and I thought I was having fun, but then I woke up and realized it was all a dream. The game was still on, but I decided to turn it off and go back to sleep.

>>14730868

whoa sick burn bro #420

>>14724427

doing a Byz run is almost as bad as Grobdeutsches nonsense

>>14732045

Why the hell are invasions even anounced to the defender? Wouldn't it be more challenging/logical/historically accurate if you didn't see it coming just like war declarations?

>>14734931

If it only didn't look like shit. Who the fuck came up with this retarded 45° view on a 2d-plane?

>>14734714

Kek whatd they do to piss people off on Stellaris?

There hasn't been a CK2 patch since December. Could have they finally decided to let it go?

>>14735847

Hopefully. The only thing left to do without getting into East Asia would be to make Theocracies playable somehow, which I dont see happening.

>>14735847

They put out a call for new beta testers for CK2 a month or so ago. Possibly an unpaid position and they are trying to cut costs and squeeze out a few more DLCs profitably.

>>14734996

>>14734931

isnt it still in early access? would give it a try when it comes out properly

>>14735857

>which I dont see happening

They could just use the same system as elective gavelkind for determining theocratic heirs.

The sad thing is that there is actually a shit-ton of interesting things they could have added to just Europe, the Middle-East and India alone. Stuff like making Yazidi its own religion, giving Berber pagans a seperate religion from the West-African one, fleshing out the culture flipping mechanic to allow for a combination of every single culture which would make stuff like invading a non-European realm as a viking more fun. Manichaeism had its own patriarchal system with its council seated in Baghdad, you could add a decision for Manichaeins to reform their religion if they own that province which would grant them a head of religion.

It's stuff like that that would make the game more interesting for people who actually play for the alternate history aspect of it and perhaps make it more challenging as well for those who play it purely for gameplay but of course, the kikes at Paradox prefer adding shit like immortal horses because that is what makes money.

>>14735847

I think they will drop one last DLC before summer and call it quits. Even normalniggers are getting wiser on Paradox's Jewish ways.

>>14738219

>shit like immortal horses

>set the options to allow supernatural events for non-player characters because the earlier ones years ago centered on superstition and religion were pretty cool and slight fantasy flavour spices things up

>century later the world has courtfulls of memebears, that retain their retarded bear culture even if they interbreed with humans

This is awful and not what I wanted.

>>14738322

Wait there's bears now?

>>14738284

It would be a joy. Because I won't have to update, yet disable more and more stuff, because of wanting to play the new versions of mods.

>>14738587

Yes and I believe they have also added cats. They also added an event in which another character finds out you or a dynasty member is one called "bearly legal".

Some faggots have already gone ahead and decided to make mods that just add more playable animals like foxes. Honestly, I thought that the whole Glitterhoof thing was kind of funny and still somewhat plausible because of the whole legend regarding Caligula but by allowing players to play as animals like that it stops being a funny easter egg and becomes a shitty meme that you can use to milk more money out of the DLC crowd.

>>14738284

>Even normalniggers are getting wiser on Paradox's Jewish ways.

Doubtful. EU4's DLCs are way worse and they show no sign of slowing down (nevermind Stellaris and HoI4). More likely its just the slow steady decrease in sales.

>>14738885

They're probably starting to think of CK3

>>14738587

Yes and as a rare event for fun, there's nothing wrong with it unless you blow it out or proportion. Complaining about it is just as stupid as when fags caused a shitstorm about the EU:IV women DLC that was free and easily turned off.

>>14738905

No, they're going to ruin the Victoria era next. Vicky 3 has already been suggested by the devs. Are you ready for the first female president of the USA in the 1880s? And the first nigger president in the 1920s? Because even though that doesn't matter at all to the type of game Vicky is, you can be sure it'll be in there. Oh, and even MORE commie bias in every nation and even MORE nationwide jacobin revolts in the US!

>>14739026

How many times now have you dicked around in the caucasus anon?

what a shitshow of an area, pure fun.

>>14739055

I just HAD to fuck it up the same way I did with CK2's HIP.

For me, the Caucasus is pure comfy. It's an awful place alright, but it's got lots of charm. Ch*rkas aren't so bad as long as they stay in their shitholes. It always makes me a little butthurt how the whole are is always underrepresented since it's got a metric shitton of history, it's like one of those parts of the world that are unknown to both westerners and easterners alike and it makes you say 'woah dude' when you start learning about their history and culture.

It's weird, I can't explain this fascination of mine.

>>14734931

Isn't this the game where everyone is at war with everyone else non stop, even within alliances?

>>14739117

>playing all the way to the 14th century from Charlememe start

How on earth did you manage not to die from boredom?

>>14739126

Aside from curiosity because I had never actually played the game up to that point due to constant ragequits, I'm still planning on expanding my empire and if possible I'd like to spread my religion to places outside of my own realm. For now my plans are conquering Oman, the rest of North-Africa and India.

>>14735842

with the last patch and DLC they removed features that were unlocked in the base game. Originally there were 3 travel methods, hyperlane, warp, and wormhole.

Warp and Wormhole got removed and replaced as near end game techs because they "unbalanced" wiz's dream of paradox multiplayer games

>>14739377

>Warp and Wormhole got removed and replaced as near end game techs because they "unbalanced" wiz's dream of paradox multiplayer games

No, they were completely removed. There is no end game tech to replicate them, because anything that could bypass Wiz's precious EU4 Forts is verboten.

>>14739415

Best part is that the DLC cost a whopping $20 even though it adds almost nothing, you're "supposed" to buy it to support Paradox patching out features like alternate FTL methods for free.

>>14739377

This whole "balance" shit is seriously pissing me off

>>14739447

>pay money to remove features

This is like some sort of turbo meta kikery

>>14739471

>the mod ramps up the dificulty to 11

That's the point of TRP and EoD, ramping difficulty up to eleven

>play as USSR

>by 1940 Germany has more IC than the rest of the world barring the US

>>14739482

I mean i dicked around in the even files and im pretty unhappy with what i seen

There is plenty of checks like (if player is Ger and AI is Sov give sov +20% attack and def, if player is SOV give Ger +20% attack and def and stuff like that)

There is "difficult" level of difficulty and there is "AI is cheating fuck you" level of difficulty andit seems that TRP took the 2nd path

>>14739026

after the caucasus overhaul, are you planning on overhauling another region?

>>14737650

Came out last week. They are still taking suggestions on what they should change or add however.

>>14739508

No, haven't planned anything else. Been playing South Africa with the Boer mod (also included in HFM) and it kinda inspired me to add a decision for BYZ to end the 'turkish question' after having conquered Anatolia in its entirety, it'll remove all of the ottoman cores from the Balkans and Anatolia and:

>A. Cram all the turks in Ankara and make the place some sort of reservation (releasing as satellite if possible)

>B. Plain genocide, province by province

>C. Integration

>D. Let them be

Of course this will come in later as I have to design and test the decisions/events

>>14739471

Most of these mods have events that spawn free troops, IC, or activate some kind of hidden research that gives bonuses for AI nations.

Noob here, a pair of questions.

Exactly what to do when surpass demesnes and vassals limit? Thanks to some pretty good alliances with both Shia and Sunni muslim i could conquer Italy very fast but i found myself going over the limit and getting revolts on revolts on revolts, i could hold onto my newly acquired lands thanks to those alliances but beside giving away lots of land i don't know exactly what to do with the vassals.

About taxes/levy, what should i do? Should i leave them at default?

Should i focus more on my holdings or trying to conquer land? I don't really understand what to do with retinues, the half bugged tutorial said shit about them.

>>14739562

>demesnes

IIRC each over gives a stacking -10% to income and -10% to levies, though it doesn't apply to your capital. Also gives -10 relations with all vassals.

>vassals

Not sure on specifics but its something similar + on realm succession it's likely some of your realm will just split off.

>>14739562

>Exactly what to do when surpass demesnes and vassals limit?

Your stewardship stat and your steward on the council influence your demense limit, raise your heir with a stewardship focus if he is still a child.

Then there's the transfer vassalage option. This way you can grant any vassal to another vassal as long as the latter has a higher rank than the former. So for example you can grant a count-tier vassal to a duke-tier one and then that one guy is subtracted from the amount of vassals you have. This can also be helpful with small but rebellious vassals who form factions against you, just grant them to a higher-ranked one and they'll no longer be a threat to you in that regard. High-rank vassals will also have a negative opinion modifier if you own vassals that fall under a title of theirs de jure.

Keep in mind that if you are either a king or an emperor holding more than two duchy-tier titles means that all vassals will have a -10 opinion modifier of you. If you didn't know that yet then that might have been part of the reason of why you got so many revolts.

>About taxes/levy, what should i do? Should i leave them at default?

Yes, it doesn't change much from what I can tell.

>Should i focus more on my holdings or trying to conquer land?

At the start of the game it's best to upgrade your own holdings in order to get the maximum amount of cash and troops you can get. Once your realm is large enough that you no longer need to rely on what you earn from your own holdings and can get around on the cash from vassals alone you should focus on conquering and granting stuff to other characters.

>>14739608

The worst part is if they had such a huge boner for their (shitty) multiplayer, they have could have just made it have its own separate rules and not make anyone angry. But that might include admitting they are doing something stupid, so they are refusing to do even that.

>>14739623

I can only hope someone mods the other travel methods back in, cause hyper lane just makes me want to tear my hair out, it's just so awful

>>14739562

>About taxes/levy, what should i do? Should i leave them at default?

Increase levy obligations for feudal vassals. You're not really getting shit from them in the way of taxes. Increase tax obligations for city vassals for the inverse reason. Church vassals I usually keep at default since they offer a good mix of taxes and troops, but might tend toward taxes if I feel like I have more than enough troops and just want more money.

>>14739622

>Your stewardship stat and your steward on the council influence your demense limit, raise your heir with a stewardship focus if he is still a child.

I dont think steward's stewardship affects it. I've put powerful vassals with garbage stewardship on the council to appease them and it's never affected demesne limit. Your wife's stewardship definitely does affect it though.

>>14739661

Which one was hyper lane again? I only played it once on release and I used the travel method that involved relay stations being built in star systems, I think it mightve been warp but not sure. It got super boring with nothing to do after initial exploration so I uninstalled. Glad I didnt pay for that shit.

>>14739682

>We're long overdue for an industry crash.

Not happening, my friend. Not happening.

>>14739682

>The only saving grace here is that there are finally more than 2 viable playstyles

But there was only ever 1: blobbing.

>>14739093

Tell me more about this mysterius shithole, i know nothing of it other that theres all sorts of religius and ethnic clashes.

>>14739922

SOV was piss easy to defeat because they got gimped combat efficiency after you do the Great Purge and the recovery events came too late to prevent GER from overrunning them.

>>14740018

Well, throughout the ages it's been the playground for a bunch of big empires; Romans, Persians, Parthians, Scythians, Greeks, Huns, Khazars, Arabs, Turks, you name it.

It's densely packed with literally 6 gorillion different ethnicities which have nothing to do with eachother, so you get a bunch of ethnic and religious clashes.

It's always been an unstable area due to the place being some sort of intersection for big empires, so their lands have changed hands lots of time. You get the turks and azeris (also turks) who pretty much instigate all conflict in the southern Caucasus (armenian genocide, stupid economic treatises with the Georgians, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, etc) and the Russians who have also acted as some sort of 'protector' for the Christians in the area (18-19th century) and then fucked up the whole place with shitty soviet borders and mentality. They also made Daghestan even more fucked up by conquering it instead of leaving those goat-fucking churkas to their own devices.

>>14740314

Whats the majority religion there?

>>14739661

>mods the other travel methods back in

>>14740346

They said they'd leave them possible to mod back in since lots of mods (like the Star Trek mod) needed them. If they went back on that promise then they definitely deserve all the shit they can get.

>>14740329

There's no defined majority. You've got Sunni, Shiite and random Islamic sects, Orthodox and Armenian Christianity and pagan folk religions spread here and there (the majority in North Ossetia-Alania and Cherkess.)

The Caucasus is the living proof that multiculturalism doesn't work at all, because even among Islamists and Christians there's a certain degree of sectarian violence, not mentioning the ethnic tensions.

>>14740481

One would assume that they would build national identities based on religion like in the balkans, but i guess its too late for that in there.

>>14740535

But they DO have national identities based on their religions, sort of. See Georgians (Orthodox) and Armenians (Armenian Apostolic), sadly for the peoples of the Northern Caucasus that's not the case, Daghestan is a clusterfuck of ~20something different cultures and languages, most of which are practitioners of Islam. And then you have the oddballs like Ossetians who are more united by their republic (Ossetia) rather than their religious beliefs, as there are Christian, Islamic and Pagan Ossetians, with Paganism taking up to almost 30% of their population (about a million or so) and Islam being the smalles group (about 10~15% of their population.)

Azeris, like the good turks they are, are pretty much rapebabies, so their culture is a mix-and-match of Armenian, Georgian and Udin/whatever other Nakho-Daghestani culture their ancestors had raped.

Circassians in general were genocided and expelled to t*rkey after the Crimean War I think, so there's barely of those around, but I know there's a big Pagan movement among them, at least in Russia.

Chechens are a crazy mix of Pagan beliefs with Islam, as those fuckers were islamized over the course of the last two centuries.

And Abkhazians are mostly orthodox with a few turko-islamic rapebabies and some Pagans here and there.

What ever happened to DarkWorld and DPs for CK2?

>>14740605

Forgot to mention you also have the remnants of old Persian populations in the form of Tat and Talysh, and also there is (was?) a big community of Jews who spoke a mongrel version of Tat called Judeo-Tat

>>14740478

I've searched around a bit and it seems like the "entire code was removed" from the game.

There is a mod/proof of concept but the FTL modes have to be basically reverse engineered and the author doesn't think there will ever be AI support.

>>14740689

>All that achieved was meta changing from "spam corvettes" to "spam battleships"

No, it's back to spam corvettes. Corvettes w/ torpedoes are top tier and the fact that they are 2x as fast as every other fleet in moving around empires makes them far superior. On top of that you save a ton of research.

>>14740594

>>14740442

It's terrible because it's trapped in HoI3

>>14740951

What are the time periods for CK2+? I play WTWSMS

>>14740972

I'm barely 20 years into Old Gods start as that give me some more crazier scenarios in my play throughs, even though it's a bit unrealistic to be playing Vandals during that period (even at Charlemagne start is a stretch but hey it's fun).

>>14740669

Why they did that in the first place?

You're going to click it. If you're going to attention whore with your questions at least make them interesting.

>>14742007

>>14742007

You started as the Duchy of Athens, right?

>>14742232

We wuz T*rks n' shit nigga I swear to gawd Mehmed II wuz ma great-great gran daddy nigga

>>14739682

Don't forget that they reduced combat variety further by fucking up the pathing of strike craft, making cruiser hulls unattractive and destroyers a transient pick, leading to late game fleets consisting exclusively of corvettes (because evasion) or battleships (because armour + shields).

And hell, just compare the availible hull types in Stellaris to Sword of the Stars, the latter has not only many more picks, they also function quite differently and change the role of the ship.

>>14741916

hasn't that always been true due to how IC works regardless of which HoI you're playing?

I wish they had a better system for modeling how divisions get created and reformed

Complete noob here, I remember reading that many of the "great" mods for Darkest Hour are made by perpetually butthurt commies hellbent on writing their own fanfiction instead of making a fun game with interesting scenarios, so what DH mods are free of pozz and fun to play?

>>14742225

>>14743803

I really can't understand why Paradox doesn't make sensible crusade logic once the hardcoded crusade targets are exhausted. Just making it so it targets a heathen realm bordering the right religion would fix 95% of the bullshit.

>>14743825

Never played TRP, but check the terrain modifiers for desert. IIRC Cavalry were way OP compared to everything else there.

Honestly why even fight for Africa? It's useless.

Also you are using your bombers poorly, you want to bomb and attrition single divisions that don't have too much AA or are in battle. You throw bombers are a province with 16 divisions and they'll just get massacred, like they are there with poor strength and no organization.

Are puppets in vic2 anyway usefull? I made zanzibar my puppet, in addoition to conquering stuff from them, to prevent austria from conquering them. it better be worth it. spent many years waiting for jingoism to go up. I suffered several massive revolts, last of which was jacobin revolt that topled my government. Now I'm constitutional monarchy with liberal ruling party. oh well. at least economy was fixed with that.

Started the game with hpm as gonder, formed ethiopia, conquered most of neighbors and barely avoided being berlin conferenced.

>>14744709

You can't transport stuff there, only use event spawned divisions? Fuck that mod if so.

>>14744709

The way I did it as Italy was to land divisions in Palestine and divide the British forces. The real hell is getting across the Nile because Tanta is a swamp and Cairo is urban so either way you're fucked.

>>14744759

There's no way for Germany to get TPs into the Mediterranean because Britain controls Gibraltar.

>>14744800

Couldnt you take gibraltar passing through spain after capturing france?

>>14744825

Cant you get military access in the HoI games?

Also, can you blame him? the spanish civil war ended in 1939 and spain was in ruins.

>>14744812

It's more trouble than it's worth.

1. Gibraltar is one of the most defensible locations in the game. It's a mountain with level 10 forts and there's only one province you can attack it from. It's also across a 'river'. Britain will heavily prioritize it's defense and stack tons of divisions there which it can do very easily because Britain controls the sea and has tons of transports.

2. By taking Spain, or allying Spain, you have now opened up all of the northwestern Spanish coast to invasions by the US or Britain. Spain itself is weaker than even Italy and has IC on par with Romania. It's not a good idea to ally them because they only get the shit beaten out of them. And then you have a huge allied presence south of the Pyrenees with a Republican Spain puppet.

It's better to wait for after you've beaten the USSR since you'll have enough troops to help Spain guard it's coast, you can attempt Sealion, and you can move through the Caucasus into the Middle East and hit Britain where it hurts them most: their oil.

>>14744835

You can get military access but you can't attack enemy territory from a country you have military access with. It's kind of weird but it's probably to prevent gamey strategies against the AI which won't recognize that you've placed your troops on a neutral border.

>>14744839

Thats bullshit man, gibraltar couldnt house that many people irl.

>>14744759

There's quite a bit of railroading in this mod, from my Germany playthrough so far I've noticed

>Danzing or war is now an event

>Operation Weserubung is now an event

>Occupation of France is now an event,only choice is historical occupation

Because of the last one you can't do any tricky shit like deploying transports in southern France and shipping troops that way

>>14744825

Franco helps if you give him Morocco from France, but that usually sets you up for some really shit France-related events. It's still worth it for Gibraltar, in my opinion – Brits become basically powerless in the mediterranean, as it takes way too fucking long to move their fleets and reinforcements through Suez (and if you take Suez, Mediterranean is now entirely uncontested and you can stop babysitting Italians)

>>14744839

I never had that many issues grabbing Gibraltar, even in TRP. Brits usually move most of their troops out prior to allying France, so you just have to be quick with moving some motorised divisions there and overpowering them with sheer numbers. Guarding approaches with navy helps. Then just military control Spain and use all their troops to protect the landings – I've never had allies try to land in Span, only in spanish Morocco.

Of course, the best course of action is to bypass this entire dilemma and take out Britain, after which you can freely ignore the Mediterranean.

>>14744871

What if they refuse in the Meeting at Hendaye event in TRP, do you still have a chance at bringing them into the alliance at 200 relation?

>>14740159

>>14746793

>Japan

is there any mod out there that actually makes conquering China satisfying? Right now, it just creates this ugly puppet blob – is there a mod that balkanises china afterwards so that the Japs have an easier time keeping control?

The best I've seen so far was letting Mengjiang have claims on Mongolia, Tannu Tuva and some more provinces in northeast China, and an option to colonise Hainan, but it's still not enough

>>14746771

Watch his video on how Germany circumvented the Treaty of Versailles. He's a cuck.

>>14747828

not really since at the end you just create China-Nanjing and it ends up being a giant blob, plus the last 3rd of conquering china is always a slog due to mountains and shit infra

An option to set up a series of your own warlords would have been nice with the threat of them revolting against you if the overall war turns against the axis

>>14748003

>Watch his video on how Germany circumvented the Treaty of Versailles.

What's wrong about it? Germany certainly violated the treaty as early as the 1920s as any self respecting nation would have done

>>14748129

Yeah, that's why I was asking. I hate the China-Nanjing blob since it's bullshit

>>14743803

I've been thinking of granting the shahdom of Norway to a vassal and then granting him indepence since I'm at 50% threat and don't need a place that far off from my capital as part of my empire.

I'm not sure if it's a smart idea though because half of the provinces are still Catholic so the possibility of the AI going full retard as they always do and converting exists and that would be a thorn in my plan to spread my religion as much as possible. There's also the Mongol Empire whose ruler(s) have converted to Catholicism as well and are quite close to Scandinivia and thus might invade it.

The AI is fucking retarded at times and can't survive without help from the player it seems, I already tried to do something along these lines earlier in the game when I gave a random courtier with great stats Perm and when he got holy war'd by a duke he didn't use the holy order even though he had plenty of piety and barely any troops of his own.

>>14748928

>The AI is fucking retarded at times and can't survive without help from the player it seems

Really? In my experience, reformed pagan AI can handle itself just fine once it reaches big enough size. It was actually one of the most intense games of CK2 I've played so far:

>start as vigin in Britain

>reform Norse, conquer all of Britain and Scandinavia, estabilish bridgehead to mainland by conquering netherlands

>switch to playing BYZ

>watch in terror as the Norse empire conquers literally all of Europe

>Desperately hold on as BYZ faces Abbasids (who somehow didn't implode this game) in the east and the ridiculous Norseblob in the west

The AI conquered LITERALLY everything in Europe except for BYZ. Shit, they even took Mali. The only realms that survived the norse onslaught were BYZ, Abbassids (who started warring with norse over North Africa anyway) and some steppeniggers and irrelevant sunni faggots in the far east. Abbassids decided to call jihad after jihad after jihad and Norse, when they weren't busy spamming Great Holy Wars at me, had fun with their vassals declaring a gorrillion holy wars on me (since low crown authority). I beat them all in the end since the AI is so shit, but it was the only game in CK2 where there was still serious challenge once you got an empire title

He simply states the obvious facts.

No idea. Actually if you bothered to go to the forums (and for the old games the forums should be unlocked) some dude has provided a small patch to make it work for 1.05.

Of course you can,I also added a decision to fund the Fedayi. There's also a decision which enables you to assimilate or genocide the turks in your country, it's available for all Balkan countries, Greece, Georgia and Armenia and it works for turks, kurds and azeris (who are in the same culture group)

>>14753417

The island was uninhabited until the anglos made a telegraph station after stealing it for James Harden-Hickey in 1895, so that wouldn't be realistic at all. I'm sorry dude I don't think it's gonna happen.

>Conquering the entire world is something any player would try to do

I've never actually played with world conquest in mind, and I don't see why it would appeal to anyone, especially in EUIV. You've already got to the point where you're the top of the world, why bother continue playing when there's no threat to you? It'd make sense if there was some challenge in actually maintaining a large empire, but paradox has always been too retarded to actually add a feature that does that.

>>14754820

The challenge is in being able to plan out the game, manage armies on multiple fronts, and successfully conquer and integrate all provinces on a time limit.

Hey anon whilst you're in the general area please consider fixing Iraq's southern desert border, it's currently pure Sykes-Picot and is ugly as fuck.

Actually the Levant in general is fugly but that I can live with, straight lines through deserts though are pure reeeeee.

>>14753822

I'm not interested in it, I like it when there are one or two large realms that can still pose a threat to you because they are equal to your realm in manpower and size. In my current CK2 game that's the case with the Mongol Empire. I especially like how our realms have not fought any direct wars against each other and only battle during holy wars for our respective faiths, kind of like with the USSR and USA in Asia during the Cold War who fought to defend their respective ideologies outside their own borders.

How did paganism manage to survive there? Especially when it was under the control of muslims who are known to hate polytheism above any other sort of faith.

>>14764204

The northern Caucasus wasn't really under the control of Muslims, though. Some parts are so remote and isolated that neither Christianity nor Islam got a solid foothold over them until the late 18th century, as it's the case of Chechnya.

Take Svaneti for example, it's an isolated area of Georgia (to the north west) which sort of reverted back to pagan practices after the kingdom had collapsed in the 15th century, and Georgia had adopted Christianity back in the 4th century, so most of its territories were pretty much under the influence of Christianity for more than a thousand years until they reverted back to pagan practices after losing contact with the central government.

It's the same way with Ossetia and Chechnya, some parts are so isolated that Christianity's (in the case of Ossetia) and Islam's (in the case of Chechnya) footholds were very lose.

You also can find other places which practiced Monophysite and Catholic Christianity and Zoroastrianism in Daghestan way into the late medieval era, as it's the case of the Principality of Zirikhgeran/Kubachi for Zoroastrians and Catholics, the place was converted to Islam in the late 16th century, and I think there's records/legends of Genoese priests residing in that place. There is/was also a Monophysite church in this place called Arkas.

I'd post the notes and sources on Daghestan I compiled back when I was modding it in CK2, but sadly I lost them after my old HDD died. It's a bunch of Russian web 2.0 and translated wikipedia sources which I found to be most interesting.

>>14765669

>>14764318

Prevent the split purely for the bizarro factor. The obvious result will be Christianity as a monolith; but it will also potentially result in other weird butterflies as a result, since if Islam's authority tanks from you kicking their shit in, the farther flung ends of the world from you might end up in a billion pagan reformations. Or you might just get Christian Mongols like Zunbil anon over there.

Does the UK still delete all their troops on day 1 and does Russia still have all uncolonized land?

>>14759833

>>14758892

>>14767843

All these issues are mainly caused by the absolutely cancerous "state" system in Vicky 2. You could simply have provinces small enough to allow both Ottoman Villayets and Sykes-Pikot to happen, but of course, nobody wants to split states and the CBs are usually about grabbing a whole state. It's the one thing that I really despise about V2. Mods like NWO are practically unplayable for me because in order to get around this shit, the modders made every shitty piece of land that was ever contested into its own state, so now you have a gorillion mini-states bordering states with five times as many provinces.

>>14766939

Ignore this. I was unknowingly using an older version of HFM.

Were huge and illogical liberation revolts added in a recent patch for CK2 or is it an HIP thing? I just saw 12000 men destroy the Orthodox Georgian titular kingdom of Imereti, which only ever had an 8000 or so max strength, to impose the Orthodox Georgian de jure kingdom of Georgia. I don't want to go full Parapoz and say nationalism was a 19th century invention but you'd think a bunch of illiterate peasants would be satisfied to have a same culture and religion ruler regardless of if the nobility thought he wasn't really their king.

>>14764309

Interesting, reminds me of a very small tribe in Pakistan called the Kalash some of whom still practice paganism (historians claim that it's a sort of ancient form of hinduism) simply because they lived in isolated mountains and thus never really received attention from muslims until the 20th century after which a part of them were converted. They claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great who thought that the mountains they lived in were the literal end of the world due to their size and a lot of them do have European facial features or at least seem fairer than the average Paki. I read about them in Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms by Gerard Russell if you want to read more about them.

While I realise they were always a miniscule minority on the brink of extinction like the Mandeans, I still think it would be interesting if someone modded them into CK2. It can still be somewhat plausible if they appear through special events like a "witch", court physican or adventurer appearing at your court who adheres to their faith.

>>14768240

Hellenic paganism?

>>14768252

What? Are you asking if they practice Hellenic paganism? Because that's not the case, even if they might be descendants of Alexander. I'm just going to shamelessly copy stuff from wikipedia:

>According to Sanskrit linguist Michael Witzel, the traditional Kalash religion shares "many of the traits of myths, ritual, society, and echoes many aspects of Rigvedic [religion]" but not of the post-Rigvedic religion that developed in India.

>Certain deities were revered only in one community or tribe, but one was universally revered as the Creator: the ancient Hindu god Yama Râja called imr'o in Kâmviri. There is a creator god, appearing under various names, no longer as Father Heaven, but as lord of the nether world and of heaven: Imra (*Yama Rājan), Māra 'death' (Nuristani) He (Yama rajan) is a creator deity called Dezau (ḍezáw) whose name is derived from Indo-European *dheig'h 'to form' (Kati Nuristani dez 'to create', CDIAL 14621); Dezauhe is also called by the Pashto term Khodai.

>There are a number of other deities, semi-gods and spirits. The Kalash pantheon is thus one of the last living representatives of Indo-European religion.

>These deities have shrines and altars throughout the valleys, where they frequently receive goat sacrifices. In 1929, as Georg Morgenstierne testifies, such rituals were still carried out by Kalash priests, "ištikavan" 'priest' (from ištikhék 'to praise a god'). This institution has since disappeared but there still is the prominent one of shamans (dehar) The deities are temporary visitors.

>Horses, cows, goats and sheep were sacrificed. Wine is a sacred drink of Indr, who owns a vineyard- (Indruakun in the Kafiristani wama valley contained both sacred vineyard and shrine (Idol and altar below a great juniper tree) along with 4 large vates carved out of rocks) - that he defends against invaders. Kalash ritual is of potlatch type; by organizing rituals and festivals (up to 12; the highest called biramōr) one gains fame and status. As in the Veda, the former local artisan class was excluded from public religious functions.

>By contrast, women (especially during menstruation and giving birth), as well as death and decomposition and the outside (Muslim) world are impure, and, just as in the Veda and Avesta, many cleansing ceremonies are required if impurity occurs.

>Crows represent the ancestors, and are frequently fed with the left hand (also at tombs), just as in the Veda. The dead are buried above ground in ornamented wooden coffins. Wooden effigies are erected at the graves of wealthy or honoured people.

I cannot find anything about it in this wikipedia page aside from the part about an "artisan class" but in the book I mentioned in my previous post I read that the Kalash had a caste system just like Hindus and that members of the lowest caste were pretty much treated like slaves and often converted to islam out of free will in order to lead normal lives.

>>14768312

Yeah, I was aking that. It would be fun to play as Alexander's great-great-great…-great grandchild from a cousin 1057 times removed in some Paki shithole who is ethnically greek and follows hellenism, and re-create Alexander's empire with him. Them being some flavour of hindu is nowhere near as fun, however.

The society is there for the meme. It's only there to give reddit an "assassin experience", just like all the retarded shit in the Devil Society is just there to give le ebin cultist experience. Seriously, I think Monks & Mystics is probably the DLC that shat out the most memes for the vanilla. All of the societies are broken one way or another (be it memes or "50+ learning ez xD" or "le instant magical good traits" shit), they seem to not have even attempted to balance the game for artifacts so you're going to see your imbecile of a son get great stats due to all the shit he owns, and really, even the amount of content provided is laughable – there's a total of 5 societies (not counting reskins that work the exact same way), many of them region or religion locked to some nations, so you can even end up without any of them available, and a few dozen artifacts that are nothing more than a simple inheritable stat buff and again come in many reskins for different religions. I don't think any other major DLC prior to this one screamed "we don't give a shit. We provide the framework, it's up to modders to provide content" quite as much as this one.

>>14768937

What almost frightens me is the fact that there are people willing to give them money for it. Even if normalfags are fucking retarded, they can't possibly be retarded enough to think giving hundreds of dollars to content that should be in a game from the start is okay right? I'm starting to think people who buy their shit are all just so fucking rich that they simply enjoy the act of throwing away money and don't actually care about the games themselves.

>>14769007

They throw money at them because they have a monopoly. There is no other option. Everything else is either 4X or a wargame or is heavily combined with a different genre like the Hegemony series.

>>14768355

there were groups like that at the time elsewhere in Pakistan/Afghanistan. There were actually quite a few Greek colonies in the area.

>>14767843

>>14769073

Throwing money at them will only support their cancerous behaviour and make the developers think that their customers are retarded anyway (which is true but that's not the point) and thus they don't have to try to earn money through fair methods. If people would just boycot them and make clear that they don't accept their DLC policy then they might stop doing that and release full games instead like they're supposed to do.

>>14723892

Are there any mods that remove the Ottomans/Mamluks from the game? I can't play as any nation outside of Europe without worrying that they may expand, and my hatred for them is too intense to allow for this to occur. I find it impossible to enjoy any campaign where T*rkshits manage to come out on top, which has prevented me from playing as any non European state without worry. I recently started a campaign as Otomo only to have my incentive to continue ruined upon realizing that most of eastern Europe had become an Ottoman shithole when the western portion of the map became visible to me.

>>14778510

I'm referring to EUIV specifically.

>>14778510

T*rks have really pathetic units past tech 14 and their morale is usually garbage. If you're Japan there's no way they'll ever land troops on your island, just dismantle them militarily.

>>14778534

It's not that I worry about them threatening me. I simply cannot stand the thought of them annexing, converting and assimilating European states.

>>14778510

I remember Ottomans being a pain in the ass when I still played EU4 because the devs made them too OP but I don't remember the Mamluks being that much of a threat in any way that another blob wouldn't be one. Did they buff them as well?

Honestly, I recommend you just play CK2, it feels more fulfilling due to being more about historical roleplaying than EU4 which is just state vs state without any real ideology attached to them. There's also not that kind of "muslim blob X can win any war because we say so" bullshit either.

You could argue that this can be said about any Paradox game at this point but I also feel like EU4 is too much of a button-pressing simulator where if you just do a specific thing at the exact specific time you can "win" the game. Those youtubers that do shit like Ryuku world conquest are enough proof of that, they archieve their goals by pretty much breaking the game and finding retarded bugs that Paradox was too lazy to fix. In CK2 however, gameplay feels much more dynamic; in one game the Abbasid caliphate might remain a blob for centuries, in another one it implodes in serveral mini-states and the middle-east is conquered by Hindus. In one game Andalusian wage victories over European kingdoms and this may allow the Norse pagans to easily reform their faith and become powerful kings, in another one they are wiped off the map and Scandinivia is a mix of different Christian religions. It's stuff like that gives the game way more replayability than EU4. I would never have wasted a minute on Turkey Universalis if I had known how fun the alternative was.

In the next DLC they supposedly are going something similar to ideologies through "state reforms", as in that your monarchy can be centralized or decentralized, clergy-focused or noble-focused, etc…

100% better, here are some nitpicks:

Najaf should hug the river like Karbala/Samarra do and Rutbah should take up the desert part also slice off the river bits off Rutbah and give them to neighboring Samarra/Karbala as appropriate, Kut should be apart of Baghdad and Nasiriyya should be re-shaped to include the neighboring desert so not to look retarded.

Dayr IRL is actually on the west side of the river, which is currently in Palmyra, slice off the river bits and add them to Dayr, also Hama should only extend about half as far east as it does, add those to Palmyra.

Azraq is in the wrong place, should be just next to Amman atop the dead sea where that benis shaped protrusion is in your pic.

Extend Jerash into Damascus to cover all the Golan to so I can RP gross Israeliums.

Extend Ma'an to cover the desert parts of Amman and cut out the silly triangle in Aqaba.

Hatay was always administrated as part of Syria, add it and Antep to Aleppo state but remove Hama and attach it to Damascus, then you have an accurate Syria Vilayet.

Add Lataika and Acre to Beirut, that's the Beirut Vilayet as it was all throughout the time period.

The abortion that is transjordan is britbong bullshittery, amman and aqaba should be added to Palestine with Ma'an jerash and azraq being portioned off to Damascus. Or just keep Transjordan, up to you anon.

I'd argue there's also a case for a new state of Dayr consisting of re-shaped Dayr and Palmyra they were in-between upper Mesopotamia and Syria proper and were very debatable, never being a proper vilayet but a lesser Sanjak so again it's up to you anon.

>Najaf should hug the river like Karbala/Samarra do and Rutbah should take up the desert part also slice off the river bits off Rutbah and give them to neighboring Samarra/Karbala as appropriate, Kut should be apart of Baghdad and Nasiriyya should be re-shaped to include the neighboring desert so not to look retarded.

Doable

>Dayr IRL is actually on the west side of the river, which is currently in Palmyra, slice off the river bits and add them to Dayr, also Hama should only extend about half as far east as it does, add those to Palmyra.

Doable

>Extend Jerash into Damascus to cover all the Golan to so I can RP gross Israeliums.

I could make a Golan province instead for your kike fantasies Fucking kikes gibe your chunk of Golan back to Syria REEEEEE

>Extend Ma'an to cover the desert parts of Amman and cut out the silly triangle in Aqaba.

Doable

>Hatay was always administrated as part of Syria, add it and Antep to Aleppo state but remove Hama and attach it to Damascus, then you have an accurate Syria Vilayet.

Doable

>Add Lataika and Acre to Beirut, that's the Beirut Vilayet as it was all throughout the time period.

Doable

>The abortion that is transjordan is britbong bullshittery, amman and aqaba should be added to Palestine with Ma'an jerash and azraq being portioned off to Damascus. Or just keep Transjordan, up to you anon.

Nope, there's several events tied to EGY_910 (Transjordan), I'd rather not delete that province.

>I'd argue there's also a case for a new state of Dayr consisting of re-shaped Dayr and Palmyra they were in-between upper Mesopotamia and Syria proper and were very debatable, never being a proper vilayet but a lesser Sanjak so again it's up to you anon.

Not sure, probably not. I don't wanna keep creating new states in places modified by events/decisions.

That is one terrible meme.

The racial tensions in Africa exist because the continent never had the chance to get a good old genocide in… yet.

>what is Rwanda

>>14785340

A country, not a continent. Also Rwanda was never properly done because lol nigs can't do anything right.

>>14785359

>Also Rwanda was never properly done because lol nigs can't do anything right.

Truth. The greatest mistake is to only genocide half of an enemy.

>>14785376

Exactly. Why are we not having trouble with the Carthaginians? Because they don't exist anymore.

>>14785847

You mean ex-Belgian colony. And before that it was German.

>>14785329

tbf those borders were like that because they weren't meant to be actual countries, just governable states in our Empire.

>>14785329

No one believes your lies. No one believes Europeans are jews. No one believes that the lines were drawn arbitrarily. No one believes that Africa was peaceful before the Europeans turned it into actual civilization. Kill yourself, yid.

>Imigongo (Kinyarwanda: [imiɡoːŋɡo]) is an art form popular in Rwanda traditionally made by women using cow dung. Often in the colors black, white and red, popular themes include spiral and geometric designs that are painted on walls, pottery, and canvas.

>part Arab

Around 45% Arab.

>>14787823

That's almost 56% nigger, then.

That's only true for the Solomonids, and their claim is rather Shaky. It wasn't meant to extend to the populace at large, but only to strengthen this particular dynasty's claim to power. They also constructed an artifact believed to be the original ark of the covenant to further this end. The Ethiopian church still claims to possess it, though it is barred from the eyes of all but the monks guarding it.

Most of the current Northern African + Arabian world has part semite genes. Look at the genetics of modern Egyptians.
