continuing my Deccan game from yesterday.
After claiming the throne of Malacca, I now got the opportunity to do the same with Delhi. In the same war I got the opportunity to cut up Sind, making them release Hindu Rajputana, which I annexed straight after.
My economy is starting to recover from the heavy minting Iused to fund my wars, though I now have to use most profits as bribes to ensure allegiance of my foreign thrones.
Another issue is my king having only 3 admin,leading to overextension and more revolts. I kinda hope he dies (despite having 9 diplo and 9 military), since his son has 6/8/5 stats. I dont expect inheritance though, given the fact both nations distrust me.
Turning the shitskins is going quite rapidly, I already turned 3/4th of India to Islam.
Next target are obviously Bihar and Taunga, though I dont want to eat too much desolate provnces that take too long to wander to to kill revolts and are too poor for my economy to support.
>>125439164
what's your eventual goal?

>tfw expelling filthy mudslimes from rightful hind clay

>>125437608
>13.6 vs 485.4?
Look at the economy tab.
>And you can still easily carpet every single province you have with every possible building as Switzerland. You can even do that as France - it's easy to make money and spam infrastructure in EU3 and even easier in HTTT where money is the limiting factor, not magistrates.
Is there a point to this statement?
HTTT gives +% manpower.
DW gives +X manpower.
That you get more manpower in total in DW as Switzerland doesn't matter because you get more manpower in DW as everyone.
The relative difference is what matters.
That's why I brought up Wc2 vs Wc3.
Two games in the same series, but which uses vastly different units of measurements.
>As for the pic, the formula favors OPMs, yes, but you're not disadvantaged for having more good provinces. It's there to penalize nations going wide, like Russia. There's not really any such thing as having too much European land, because it all tends to be very good. Tech is also based on investment which is based on investment, so a rich 10 province nation like the Netherlands can still eclipse an OPM in tech.
The issue is again that relative to the already very high trade income, even european provinces tax and production income aren't worth the increase they have on tech cost in that scenario.
Bloody finally.
And more information about this unholy Europe
>Protestant HRE
>Verden Emperor
>>125439164
well shit. even with a better king I still have overextension. It seems I need to have 50% cores (currently 17/44), or move back 1 bar to decentralisation. Probably I will just wait for my cores needed to form India I guess.
>>125439460
First step is taking India and the surrounding rich areas (maybe Indonesia or Persian gulf if I get a good CB.
Second step is hoping I can westernize twice and somewhat catch up in tech, while holding off the greedy Europeans.
Lategame is countercolonisation into Europe, depending on my strentgh/tech relative to my enemies.
If this will prove too hard I might have to change course to China or some shit, we'll see.

/gsg/ recognizes paradox games are garbage, as you said it's a reddit trap so you should go complain on /r/paradoxplaza, that's where you will find retards who praise HoI3 as a masterpiece of strategy, intellect and war simulation.
You will just get shadowbanned before the thread receives any replies though.

basically you want to shut down factories in your states that have lots of italian craftsmen, causing mass unemployment and migration. then have the only factories available for work be the ones in libya and your craftsmen will naturally migrate to those areas

I like EU3 better for lots of reasons.
Although I gotta admit EU4 fixed some things (upgrading obsolete ships, colony system, some peace deal mechanics, less akward borders), it feels really sterile to me.
fucking around in EU3 is just more fun.

>>125441896
well.. ok.
Malacca whitepeaced Brunei after throwing 4k stacks into Brunei's 12k army in their capital. Aceh is left occupying Sumatra with 1k, while Brunei has no fleet to hop over their army to annex Aceh.
Somehow Naples declared war on Sind, though they have no way to reach us (and if they do, I will just have throw a doomstack at them).
im just kinda riding out this period until 1453, th moment where I will core the provinces needed to reform to India, giving me cores on the whole region.
>>125442616

>>125443234
as mentioned, playing miscmods, not vanilla.
Do you know a way to combine that map with this mod?
>>125443653
I have searched HIGH and LOW for COM+Miscmods for 5.2, which does combine the two.
Cannibalizing the individual mods doesn't work.
DAO+Miscmods is out there, but it's for 5.1 and buggy.
There IS a mod called 'WAMMO' that combines Miscmods, EU3+, and DAO map plus some other stuff. Big overhaul, bloaty and slow. But you don't end up with Castile and England all over the place.
I would honestly recommend, thinking about it, just keep playing Miscmods. Way more preferable to vanilla, even if you do end up with stupid AI blobbing.
reinstalled eu4 after 2 days of sobriety;_;

>>125443891
thanks, I might try WAMMO afterwards maybe.
Got a decent PC so could a bit bloaty is not too bad.

Well. time to end these Shiiters, kinda hoping to take Hormuz or maybe Fars if I get lucky.
Thank you for however runs the archive. you are a god send
>>125444272
Honestly, I don't really recommend WAMMO, but if you think your toaster can hack it go for it. It's like more provinces mod, if you remember that, just very bloaty.
Wish there was a changeowner function in EU3, playing Miscmods wouldn't be so bad if you could just reverse every stupid annexation made by [insert defender of Catholic faith].

So people voted for me to play as taghlabids in india but also a lot of people said andulusia so i didn't want to disappoint those people and i went ahead and unified all of iberia under andulusia, created and gave out duchies etc.

Indeed, according to this text, the entire Church is corrupt and compromised by self-hatred and guilt. This cannot be what Christ intended for his Church on Earth. I must delve deeper...
The Crusade, as it is called, has fallen into complete disarray. The only good news is that the Saracen army has been depleted as well. The Holy Land may yet be within our grasp, but we need more time."

The pope is about to be publicly executed by a small-time Kharijite king of two irrelevant islands in the Mediterranean. Believable.

Gross-Schweiz became slightly kliener due to attacking like a rabid dog
Cordoba got their 2nd kingdom title with the Sultanate of Aragon
Abyssinia got their 2nd kingdom title with Kingdom of Ifat
We/Egypt got their 2nd kingdom title with Pharaohate of of Nubia/Lower Egypt
Umads fractured to Al-Basra
Cordoba is scary as ever since they are so close to becoming empire but for some reason they aren't usurping the title of Kingdom of Leon or attacking Baghawatid to form the Sultanate of Al-Andalusia

>>125448989
>Netherlands taking Wallonia instead of 100% accepted culture Flanders
WHY?
>>125449116
Lad, annex trick with the PLC prevents Russia from doing anything since you steal every province worth getting from them.
Then, you could release Poland, United Baltics and Ukraine to have puppet bumper states
>>125449130
What's the annex trick?
Is there a mod that changes the horrible unit models in ck2? I'm using the better units mod, but it just applies the crusader units on all christian/western units and it conflicts with other shit
>>125449130
PLC is obviously the biggest one, but what else can be done? Denmark/Sweden/Norway from Scandinavia? Lots of Balkan land from the Ottos? Ukraine?

>>125449218
1. Liberate a tiny piece of PLC
2. Get a conquer CB on PLC and get 100% war score, don't accept the peace offer
3. Get Russia to release rest of PLC
4. Make sure you have a peace offer from both of the wars
5. First accept the release rest of PLC peace offer from Russia AND THEN annex PLC peace offer (REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO THE PLC PEACE OFFER LAST)
Bam, you are gross as fuck.
>>125449261
As I said, Canada, Australia and maybe the CSA would be prime targets
I mean, the Balkan states are small as fuck and Denmark and the Scandi bunch aren't that big
>>125449653
HoI3 doesn't have that, though?
>>125449713
Also, India but it's mostly puppet states so, not as could it could be
>>125449887
Oh right, I was thinking of landing troops while in a naval battle. Or when you are able to land troops even after all your transports have been destroyed.
>>125449219
anyone?

So here's what you essentially gain as Germany doing the annexation trick on PLC with Russia.
War justification RNG aside, this is probably around 20 infamy - I got unlucky on the conquest justification.
>>125449964
Landing continues during a battle but I've never seen an army stay alive when the transports are destroyed.
>>125450425
Doesn't the UK have enough VPs that just taking the VPs on the home isles won't force them to surrender
>>125450519
You can solve the infamy problem by releasing German minors which will be resolved back into your germaniums in the coming months with an event
>>125449713
Would it be possible to do a simultaneous annex trick with Austria and Russia? (releasing the austrian PLC cores and russian ones while you have a conquest war with the PLC)
>>125450519
I don't understand how this annex trick works, I read the explanation post above but it doesn't explain it.
What are the causes and what actually happens?
>>125450643
Isn't that just for the US? I know about releasing states prior to forming the NGF/Germany but will released German satellites petition to join the union again?
>>125450627
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Britain alone being occupied isn't enough, they need to lose colonial VPs too.

A better idea than mine, I do the Annex trick with the Alsace-Lothaire war which takes ages to deal with both the fuckers.
You should be able to do it, I don't think PLC gets annexed in the unification event and add to sphere is only a 50 war score goal
>>125450605
Yup, even if the transports die they can still land.
What do they mean by this?
>>125450860
if you/japan has already taken india and you've got malta/gibraltar it might be enough
since my venice game got fucked by memes, I became a meme
>>125450747
I'm sure Germany/NGF/SGF gets gutter crown events when they release minor too, but don't remember so clearly, so must be tried.
Shit man, all these exploits for Germany. It's like they wanted them to be Gross
>>125450903
So there's no point in an escort or protecting them other than getting them to the adjacent sea tile?
I've done amphibious shit a tonne and never even noticed that.
>>125450742
if you have a peace offer from a state, they have to ratify it if you accept, regardless of if circumstances have changed. In this case, you're releasing a weak, defeatable PLC to easily get 100% warscore against. Then, you are feeding the PLC more territory by releasing the rest of it from other states. You do this while you have a peace offer on the table from the PLC, so you can accept their offer which they made BEFORE you released the territory.
>>125451063
It's better for immersion to escort them.
>>125441629
You could justify it saying it was two different branches of communism. I bet those FSA guys are trots.
>>125449263
What is their justification for this meme?
>>125451063
There's no point if you only want to use them once but if you protect them you can use them multiple times...
>>125451165
it's for the next patch when they add in the option to build the channel tunnel that creates a strait between dover and calais
>>125451101
Oh, so it's just basically a ninja conquest because the warscore doesn't deflate down when they get added territory?
>>125450742
Once nations go past a certain size they cannot be annexed, and must instead be reduced state-by-state until they are small enough to be annexed.
The 'liberate people' CB only liberates a single state.
The 'liberate country' CB liberates ALL cores the nation has.
So, the player forces Russia to first liberate just a tiny portion of Poland or the PLC, resulting ins a small state that can be annexed. They then forge a claim and declare a war of conquest on them and fully occupy them to 100% warscore, but don't accept a peace.
You wait for the truce with Russia and then demand them to liberate ALL of Poland/the PLC. When you have sufficient warscore to do so, wait for the (currently occupied) PLC to send you an offer of annexation, then sign a truce with Russia, resulsting in all of the PLC being handed to the small state that is currently sending you an offer of annexation, which you'll accept, meaning that you annex it - getting all of their provinces, even though they only had a few when they sent the peace offer.

Pick your daughter. There's precedent of female Pharaos in Ancient Egypt. Also, keep going, I love your campaign.
>>125451165
Yohan got his army stuck on Aland while playing as Sweden in an office multiplayer game.
>>125451169
Oh of course, I forgot about that minor aspect of losing all your transports.
>>125451332
The warscore does deflate, which is why you wait for them to send an offer to you. If you force Russia to cede all their cores to the PLC and then send them an offer they'll reject, since with all their new territory you're only occupying a tenth of it.
>>125451437
>>125451339
Ah so it's timing it so you still have a Conquest peace offer. I get it now.
Sounds gamey as fuck though, I'm not sure I'd want to do it.
Well played!
>>125451591
if you're doing gamey shit like that you may as well just use the console as you're already cheating
>the duke who owns all the Leon cores revolts against the king
Let me guess, the revolting duke will go into jail and get banished so we have Cordoba getting their 3rd crown
>>125451402
Of course there is the female Pharaoh precedent but was it straight Cognatic? Also, I just have to do elective because I don't want to deal with mounds of inbred retards so I get to pick the best of the holy blood
>>125451687
Clever use of game mechanics :^)
So I still can't do that fucking Albania achievement.
I'm going to switch strategies, instead of Serbia, I'm going to try leaving the shitfest and no-CB annexing an Italian OPM, then selling Albania to the Venicians.
Where should I go? Mantua?
>>125451163
Would that make the communist CSA Hoxhaists?

Also, what's wrong with falling in love with one of your wives?
Where do i go from here? Austro-Hungary unfortunatly stayed strong, allying with France Britain and Ottomans to steal rightful Italian clay. this lead to Communist revolution, and eventually Fascist Revolution. I'm consideing getting rid of my colonies in the west of Africa andJUSTkeeping the north

Send help /gsg/.
I try to play Georgia in EU IV on Ironman.
Due to Georgias shitty location you can't ally with anyone within the first several years and Quara Qoyunlu always takes fucking advantage of that and overruns me in the first year in the game, taking my capital and thus my only resource of money in that shitty mountain bumfuck area.
I restarted that shit arround 30 times now, always with the same result.

Colonies. I had Palestine as well but gave it to the jews for infamy reasons after muh genocide

Looks like it's gotta be Urbino then. I'm pretty sure Commander Skander can take the Papal State.
>>125452138
Is it possible to start as t*rks, vassalise albania, give albania half your provinces, war them again immediately for annexation (breaking truce and etc will make everyone hate you), release them again (this time play as released big albania). you will have everyone backing your independence since t*rks have a million AE.
>>125452281
That colour mod is so cancerous, to think I used to use it.

Allied with France and in their sphere.
>play as France
>everything is easy as fuck
>>125451339
You don't have to wait for offer of annexation. You don't even have to fight the PLC first. As long as you have JUSTIFIED a conquest CB against PLC, you will be able to start the war to conquest PLC no matter the size until the CB expires, and full annexation is always possible.
The best way to abuse this exploit is to full-annex China by ensuring the Heavenly Kingdom wins, then release one province of China, justify conquest and justify return of territory on Heavenly Kingdom.

>>125452790
Yes, you can also do it with India and Canada to good effect.
In fact in mods its possible to do it accidentally vs. Japan. You'll justify Establish Protectorate vs. the Shogunate while they are small but have the substates, and if they get the event to unify at the right time then you'll have an establish protectorate CB against the entire nation. Also theoretically possible against China if you hit them the moment they westernize in vanilla.

>>125454115
No shit I used the fucking console to do it, I'm just showing that it's possible to do it in practice. If you're playing France then you only need to wait for the gutter crown event (whereas I started as Prussia and changeownered into Germany then tagswitched to France to set it up) before declaring war.

Poland is one of the nations that needs touching up in KR. It has shit tons of cores but outside of galcia and arguably lithuania all chance to get your land back relies on the AI taking very specific and unlikely event paths you have next to no control over your own nations expansion. A huge shame considering the fact that Poland has arguably the largest amount of cores to regain.

wh-what is this
please explain

It only seems to have Plock as a core in foreign territory.
Anyway, should I ally The German Empire? Or should I start getting close to Iron Guard Romania and take on the Austrians?
