Really?

I guess it's time to spread communism to Russia.


Just be prepared to fight that World Revolution yourself if it comes down to it - the "Spread Fullcommunism" CB has MASSIVE infamy penalties and your newly formed commie state has absolutely no formal loyalties to you.

I imagine it definitely would be fun if you were in a position to seriously project your power. My only foray with it so far as been as America, and that was both remarkably short and quite distanced away from being able to realistically bring the world to my new socialist worldview.

When I get back to my Qing game I'm hoping to eventually be able to implement Fullcommunism from Beijing and eventually spread my barbeque-flavored Chinese democracy to the rest of the world. It'll take awhile but I'm sure I'll be able to pull it off.

I had fun using the USSR to spread communism to Libya, Israel, Arabia, the Ottomans, and Morocco. I eventually lost it all in a Great War against Austria-Hungary but still.

Meh, I just can't get into it. For some reason, I just don't really enjoy or like the game all that much. I much rather prefer and enjoy playing EUIV.

Eh, true. Still, I'm happy with Central Asia bloc (in fact, probably might expand it, give it some of the old Soviet Central Asian states, to counteract that Russia has most of Eastern Europe). Kazakhstan's staying with the Russians though, Baikonur's important since we're talking about spaaaace.

Like I said, will probably remerge EU and focus on Germanic influences to counterbalance that Latin America has Hispanic/Romance roots that would be very similar if I focused on the France/Spain/Italy side of the equation.

Whether is the Confederation of the Congo, the Sub-Saharan Confederacy or *random clicking noises*, the point isn't the name but the concept of an African nation from which I can pull ideas for names and terminologies. We can at least agree on that, right?

Culturally speaking, yeah, it wouldn't be too terrible to smoosh China, Korea and Japan together, but still, I dunno. Indonesia/Malaysia/Singapore/Philippines could be put together culturally, but they don't seem to have as much 'oomph' as some of the other nation combos. A united ASEAN might work but that leaves India by itself, so... why not add them in the party as well? That's what I was thinking.

Never mind, missing nothing. Central Asian half be in my new "Islamic Caliphate" while half will be in Eurasia because sizable Russian minorities.

Ah, okay.

I agree. And don't mock the Pygmy race!

I still say that if you can predict geopolitical realities correctly 20 years from now, your a genius so 200 years from now, who knows? ASEAN+India might work but that bloc and the Eastern Asian bloc would be more powerful than any other bloc. Yes, they're mostly undeveloped right now but it only takes a few decades to fully develop and 200 years is 20 decades. But then again, space isn't all about pop so I guess not.

We could try doing an Islamic Caliphate of sorts with all Islam, European Union, Anglosphere, ASEAN+India, East Asia, Massive Eurasian bloc, Latin America, and Sub- Saharan Africa. Perfect, even number of super states.


That was... basically my original set up only instead of ASEAN+India and East Asia, I had Japan + India + Indonesia & co. and China + Indochina as a China/Anti-China pair of blocs in the Orient.

I just find 'a reborn Caliphate' trope waaaay over played. I don't have any trouble making an Islamo-centric cultural bloc, but seriously. I want to believe that 200 years from now they've gotten over the whole crazy sharia law divine right rulers et cetera et cetera.

I think I'm happy with going for 10 - Anglosphere, EU, Eurasia, Latin America, Sub-Sahara, Central Asia, Middle East-North Africa and somehow splitting Asia three ways between China, Japan+Korea, India, Indonesia/Malaysia, and Indochina. Still debating on how I want to specifically do that though.

I'd contemplate taking Oceania out of the Anglosphere, adding it to Indonesia/Malaysia, then giving Indochina+India and China+Japan+Korea, since Anglosphere is hella powerful as is, but... the cultural ties between the 5 Anglo nations are really hard to split up, especially since this is more about culture than anything else (since we're trying to source planets/ship/et cetera).

It's funny, one of the things I was thinking about was a station named Third York for the Anglosphere, building off there being a 'York' and 'New York'. In that sense, maybe Troisieme Orleans?

I suppose that could be a part of it. Perhaps it could just be I don't understand CK2 as well. I've only played it for about four hours, compared to 87 hours of EUIV.

Re: Poll question, since I haven't gotten the chance - I have too much fun goofing off in the HRE, trying to play those politics, so Western Europe. Though I suppose I do plenty in Eastern Europe too, since I've played Brandenburg into Prussia like, an unhealthy amount of times. I LIKE MY SPACE MARINES OKAY.

Combined I have over 1000 hours of CK2 + EUIV.

And that's not including pre-Steam CK:DV and EUIII complete, which is probably at least *another* thousand hours.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Watch some tutorials on CK2, I think Quill made one recently but it could have been EU4 for all I know. Arumba's a good man to watch as well as his obsession with min-maxing makes him a explain quite a bit.

Yeah, I managed to get a beta version. It adds alot of details for your character but it's really unbalanced and more often than not makes your character fairly bad. I hear that if you buy the DLC and load up a character, it will automatically give the character the Slothful trait, according to the devs it symbolizes the average CK2 player.
