DW is a full 2D game tho.
Stellaris looks like a 3D game.
>>140633226
Even then it was still an important commercial and strategic location even after the Fourth Crusade.
>>140633387
This
>>140633502
it's basically a 2d game on a weird, low height faux 3D field, which is just stupid as shit when combined with coloured borders.
In one of the videos, a planet seemed to be on one side of the border, but it actually wasn't when they changed the angle a bit.

They probably won't have many people on sicily. So you can siege it while they mobilize and it won't be too difficult. Anyway, they can't send any other troops over because you're blockading the port into the island

How do I fix it? It's strange because the cb has the same name so I don't know why conquest wouldn't show up normally.

Yeh just shut the fuck up the lot of you.
If you socially deprived autistic clowns want to RP this little /gsg/ soap opera cant you go do it on an IRC or something. Ive been trying to ask questions to certain people for at least an hour now but you fucking neckbeards keep shitting up the thread.
JUST.STOP Its lame and soon enough NOONE is going to care
I'm worried for France.

Honestly read the image name on that picture i posted. I can only mod certain things and am in no way considering modding or anything.
Localisation is a hard thing to crack might need HPM or UhHMM to help you out but from what i gather localisation doesn't actually change anything its literally just the words that show on screen.
So i reckon just leave it famalam as long as the actual files are there to tell the game what to do you should be good with just clicking the button
Correct me if im wrong though HPM

I'm kind of concerned about the future of my planned Pictish Empire.
I'm trying to get on the good side of them before they look towards the isles.
>mfw Saracens are conquering the world and Im just sitting on my rainy island trying to kill Lollards and steal their land.
How am I such a failure. Boudicca would be ashamed.
