Alright /pol/, with the recent cuckery of the vidya industry by feminist "critics" and batshit insane SJWs, I want to know if you've still got any vidya games that have remained based against the odds.
Pic related, for obvious reasons. Whenever you play as a Western nation, you enslave the savages and exploit them for their resources. Everyone who isn't White is 'uncivilized' and gets utterly BTFO by your advanced technology.
The uncivilized countries can be played, but the only way to survive is to mimic the West, reforming and adopting all of their systems and then proceeding to conquer the shit out of the barbarians around you who haven't Westernized.
So lads, hop onto Victoria 2.
Other Paradox grand strategy games are pretty based, CKII lets you go fucking crusading, and EUIV has European nations conquer the fucking world by the end, but both allow for equal power as the uncivilized nations.

While your enslaving savages on a game while periodically fapping to cuck porn and listening to martial industrial the socialists are stripping you of your righrs and African savages are pouring into your nation and reproducing and spreading like cancer.
Daily reminder all computer games are to sate the white mans natural urge to defend his volk and turn him into a low test peroynies riddled beta by draining him of his energy to fight.
There are no redpilled games.
But yeah paradox games were fun, when I was a student and before I realisex by homeland was being overrun.
If your not earning money and getting ready for the racewar I suggest you kill yourself.
>>69332215
People aren't going to die because you play video games, althrough I ger your point.
>>69332215
I use it as catharsis mostly, and also as part of my interest in history. I research history and global affairs a great deal in my spare time, knowledge is power and, although it won't win us the race war, it's an incredibly potent tool for debate, which is how we win people to our side in the first place. Don't subscribe to communist thought patterns and assume it's an inevitability, we need to bring people to our side, and we need to know our shit if we are to do that.
I'm armed and decently experienced, but everybody needs a hobby. Mine just happens to be slower paced and more considered than most. So long as you don't succumb to them and become an autist, vidya, particularly Grand Strategy is fine.
>>69331776
Can I rek the Yanks and prevent the USA from being formed in this game or is it set to late in history for that?
Fitting question for your post number
>>69332675
EUIV's your game if you want to do that. In fact, you can colonize the East Coast as an entirely different country and never have the U.S form if you really want to.
But Vicky's too late, although you can cripple and humiliate the U.S, forever resigning them to irrelevance, if you're into that kind of shit.
For some reason I've never been able to get in to the Paradox strategy games (are they classed as 4x or Grand Strategy?)
>>69332675
Vicky 2 is too late. EU3/4 you can do it (but good luck colonising America and keeping your colonies in order) (Second bracket for FUCK YOU BIG BLUE AND YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORTING INDEPENDENCE IN MY COLONIES AND YOUR SNEAKY SPIES CAUSING UNREST OVER THERE YOU CUNTS!)
CKii is based one on my opinion.
they put views on all religion neutrally, you would end up play as islam and conquer entire europe.
also have heir from your daughter.
>Anything less than state capitalism results in a failed economy
>Based
Can we let go of this myth? The Swecuck ways infiltrate all Paradox games.
CK2 is actually getting bad these days, that stupid women's right update. Also I prefer alternative challenges, like converting Stockholm to Somali culture and making the whole world Islam.

Oh I very much am into that kind of shit
Thanks for the help lads
Stellaris is looking good desu. Even though the Blorg streams they're doing is xenophile cucks, you can go xenophobe and purge everything. Also slavery.
>>69332961

story?
>>69332675
First start date is 1444, end date is 1821.
>>69332961
You can always just revert the version of the game. It's what I'm doing because Conclave sucks ass
>>69332961
yeah agree. still cock up on 2.4.5 horse fucker edition
>>69332916
>Upside-down Poland likes playing w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶d̶o̶l̶l̶s̶ CK2

they put options in law changes, make you enable to put women in council and as commanders.
they even endup sell 3d models of those women as dlc.
>>69332881
Fucking France. I haven't played a colonial power recently, but it used to be a lot easier. Didn't Agitate for Liberty fuck that over?
>>69332947
Not completely based, but as close as we're going to get.
>>69333116
Paradox, a Swedish company, signed some petition for diversity in vidya. Ended up adding updates that focused on women in history and added in female advisers, generals, and rulers, even when it's completely ahistorical, which is why they're played. At least, that was EUIV, not sure about CKII since I don't play it much.
>>69332215
...I think your autocorrect has it out for you, mate.
>>69333311
I just had a look on the steam page for ck2, have no idea what this women's thing is called but holy fucking shit how much dlc does this fucking game have? It's like a fucking train sim.
>>69333457
>Paradox, a Swedish company, signed some petition for diversity in vidya
could you sauce me up aussy bro?
>>69333457
Fuck knows, I didn't play colonial powers until recently (past year or so), but keeping liberty low for long periods of time is balls hard (as it's meant to be, tbf). But it just seems like I get many more "A colony has mysteriously gained more liberty want" or some shit like that.
I just end up releasing them when they get to 65% liberty desire and try to keep them as strong allies.
>>69333550
Wait for the summer sale when all of it is like 50 dollars, or just buy the bare minimum
>>69333550
if you want to support the game just buy the core version and pirate the dlc
most of the dlc is just fluff shit anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYfxJa0EBqw
This is the only good video game.
>>69333658
>>69333662
I wasn't planning on buying it, not a fan of Paradox's strategy games, I was just curious about this whole women diversity shit thing. I thought these games were always praised for their historical accuracy, so what the fuck were they thinking with this shit?
>>69333806
>what the fuck were they thinking with this shit?
they're swedes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>69333550
Paradox owns the niche market, and most people who buy their games are dedicated autists who pay for all the DLC. Don't worry, it's mostly unit skins and the like.
>>69333653
Yeah, anyone with Intrigue ideas can fuck you over hardcore, since Agitate for Liberty increases Liberty Desire by 25% or something similarly batshit insane. I guess it's meant to emulate the decolonization movements that saw the collapse of European control of the Americas.
I tend to enjoy land powers more, navy feels like a useless distraction for me, and it's required for a colonial empire. I usually build it up, but my focus is always the land forces.
>>69333550
you bet it is.
feel bad for the legit consumer tho, game is fun as hell.
>>69333806
To be perfectly honest, I've never really heard of it or seen it as I didn't buy Conclave. Only time where a ruler could be female is if you either cheated, was basque or some other irrelevant culture, or had a law where you got a queen when there were no males. There was also where Germanic priests could be female and that was about it.

Yeah, I always forget about Naval forces as they've normally had little relevance to me, the most I've needed them for is to transport troops across the med and to protect trade routes. I've never truly tried a naval war.
Tempted to try and England run though, see what it's like to [s]not create a naval powerhouse with them and just get a holding in continental Yurop and focus on land warfare as per usual :v)
>>69331776

Fuck that. Jihad is the way.

>>69334206
>Rule, Britannia, Britannia rules the...French?
But yeah, that'd certainly make for an amusing campaign. You'd need to get some pretty good alliances to handle BBB, but otherwise, you'd probably be right.
Don't you start with some holdings in France?
You a fan of custom nations? A while back, I did a run where I attempted rebuilding the caliphate, as a Catholic Crusader State. Was pretty fun, but stopped because I got bored midway through and ran out of challenges.
>>69334206
whatever you call it on england barry.
you have fun with football and you call it game isn't mate?
if i have fun to have anal sex.. i would call it a good game. but i'm not having fun as much as playing ck2 to get fuck in the ass, probably same reason you don't like ck2.
Based Swedish Paradox including the Prophet Muhammad, salla llāhu ʿalayhi wa-alehe wa-sallam, but not depicting him in the portrait. :^)
>>69333806
Well it's not like there's never been women in positions of power throughout history, or anything.
>>69334551
they missed the honest trait tho. and i read qur'an multiple times and some salih bukhari's i wouldn't call prophet as gregarious person.
>>69334475
Yeah, start with Calais and I believe some part of Brittany.
And I've tried a custom nation where I started over in Yankland and tried to take over as much of NA before colonists got there. It did not go well (in the sense that holy fuck the nation was gimped to heck)
>>69334547
I was posting that more because it's not a game, it's an electronic version of playing with dolls.
>>69331776
>that pic
why the fuck is russia given so much land? is it that shit that it needs more land to help it?
Hearts of Iron 4 technically lets you play as Hitler. Ironically, it's made by the Swedish Paradox. What a fitting name for their company.
>>69334726
Not sure if trolling or just retarded
>>69333806
>>69333806
Its to give you the option, nobody has it all the way up in the game I think.
>>69335039
you were saying...
>>69335142
The game starts in 1836, you autistic bong. I know you're just trolling though, so whatever
>>69334189
I havent played Dorf Fortress in a long time, but from what I recall the diplomacy system was entirely based around having sufficient lava.
>>69334988
Too bad it's looking to be shit. Cant even use countrers instead of models, and every video I've seen reduces the combat down to pressing one button and the AI steamrolls the enemy if you built up enough.
>>69335142
>>69334274
Inspired me to try a Islamic play through for the first time in years.
>>69335534
You can use NATO counters, they showed them in the last dev diary iirc. For the combat you can let the AI do everything or you can still micromanage like in HoI3. Although it's looking a bit less complex than HoI3, I think it's still going to be good.
>>69335534
I dunno. I think it's a game series that required some streamlining. I tried playing HoI 2 and 3, and the learning curve was just too steep. You had way too many options, and due to the extreme length of the game, it was impossible to know what to research, what to build and how it would impact the game 20 hours later.
I imagine you'd have to play through multiple failed campaigns just to learn how to play the game, and I didn't have the time or energy to go through that, even though I love grand strategy games.
>>69334274

>>69335974
Yes, in the most literal sense of the words. They're so hard up because their women are covered head to toe that they have a culture that revolves around raping boys.
>>69336038
>my opinion
>matters
>>69335754
If anything, HoI 3 was too simple and easy. You get lost in the details, but in the end it all comes down to getting enough divisions of 2inf+1arty to hold the line and having a solid bunch of panzer divisions to punch through the enemy line. It really was nothing more than that.
In terms of economy, all you had to do was pump out enough subs or enough convoys, depending on whether you were axis or allies.
It looked complex, sure. But it really wasnt. The tech tree was 90% superfluos, air combat hardly matters, trade can be left to the AI no problem and its super easy to make allies. The games was fucking easy, but fun.
>>69335701
They have counters, but they go underneath the model. You still have that dopey looking model marching around.
Its looking to be supremely simple. I saw a video of the invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands in june 1940 by Germany, and all the guy did was select his airforce and give them a sector, not even missions or anything, and select and army and gave them a sector. And bam, they steamrolled over everything.
The only thing that does appeal to me is the idea of having proper supplies. Enough rifles and tanks and such to keep your units supplied.
There's a reason Soviets built a wall separating non conquered people from the conquered people, people would document the reality and not the words.
