I'm just waiting for the King in Yellow to show up

Speaking of Stellaris and Lovecraft, there's this, though it seems to be outdated.

Someone made a patch for 1.4, but I don't play Stellaris so I don't know if that's the current version or not: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =827294611

I want to know the tale, the tale of the Goths who dared to go where no goth has gone before.

Through the Shroud lies the mastery of the universe.

"Do not do this"

Just do it. You know you want to.

I am currently occupying all of England so I think you can guess how that ended.
EDIT: Aaaaand Scotland has it's territory back, England is kicked out of mainland Europe and I control London.
*mic drop*

So England still alive, but basically torn apart?

Yep. Aaaaand they allied Austria.
Fuck.

So I converted France to Protestant as soon as the reformation struck so I have a CoR in Paris.
Also because I annexed alot towards Italy I now have a coalition against me, in response I allied the Ottomans.

Fucking do something Austria!

Protestant France? But how will the British justify their hatred of you?

Probably the fact that I control London and am Scotland's ally.
I think they've got plenty of hatred for me.

Nah, London's full of metropolitan elites. Real Brits^TM don't want it. Your alliance with the rebellious Scots will do it, though.

I forgot to share the HoI4 dev diary, didn't I? It actually contains a few interesting points of balance changes for the first time in a while.

Protestant benefits are way better than Reformed, though. Combined with France's Elan and...BOOM.

Alright, I've enough of these insults and libel! Protestantism "benefits", if you can even call them that are permanent, but minuscule. A mere fraction of the power that Reformed offers, in powerful bursts. You want to talk about French élan, I'll show you some of my own élan towards this drivel: To claim that Protestantism's 5% morale boost is worth something compared to Reformed's 15%, is facetious bordering on propaganda based upon petty things like actual beliefs systems and "honor". The Reformed burst can easily last long enough even for long, drawn-out wars so long as you time things right and use the ability when the built up power has reached its cap.

Going further, the Reformed economic benefits easily outstrip Protestantism's innate 10% taxes when building an empire with global desires. The trade power you can leverage with Reformed can make a noticeable effect when its 10% increases affect numbers going into the hundreds when being pulled in from trade from all around the world. A true French Empire stretching across the world would bathe in the money exploited by the Reformed faith.

Meanwhile, I need not make a case for the power Reformed (+1) diplomatic reputation and (-2) unrest reduction when dealing with vassals and conquest, respectively.

Don't you people talk to ME about this horseshit about Protestantism ever being worth a daaaaaaamn thing. My fervor is absolute!

Because EUIV definitely covers those time periods. Your efforts to discredit the glory of France ring hollow.

It's called facts.

Not discredit.

Discredit is when for example, someone said France is glorious and largest colonial empire when we know that they have the second-largest colonial empire, not the first.
