It's okay friend, Herr Himmler will destroy China for you <3



I'm not really sure they needed it tbh. The other parts of the map like the Baltics sure but Scandinavia was fine imo.

I just hope they do something about Finland too. The eternal emperor of Suomi demands it!

Now, should I try and defeat the Catholic Byzantine blob, the Arab Blob or go try and conquer China?

By the way does anyone know how to get people to vote for my laws? For some reason my nobles just won't support it even if they like me 100.

I am being serious. I've been trying to increase crown authority for ages now. I have the appropriate vassals loving me (+100 relations) but they just won't support the law.

Crusader kings 2 to me earlier:

Oh new iron man game eh? How about your first character falls incapable and dies of cancer 20 gold away from forming a duchy preventing you from nabbing the acheivement.

Whats that? 12 year long regency then suffering from consumption for 6 years that prevented you from getting married? Then you survived it and formed a duchy and are a third of the way to being king of ireland in your mid 20s? How about a nice case of STRESS. STRESS, STRESS, STRESS, ARE YOU DEAD YET? DEAD? DEAD? DEAD BY STRESS? STRESS DEATH STRESS DEATH STRESS DEATH STRESS

*Dies of stress*

10 year long regency for female heir, everyone hates you.


Was it good for you too bitch?

Oh and im -250 gold because the queen of Connaught beat the utter fuck out of me.

I love this game.

Buy favors and/or fill the council with loyalists. Don't bother caring about the ability of the councilors, so long as they can do what you need them to do, you can just replace them later.

I have $18.98, Legacy of Rome and Base CK2.
What dlcs do I get?
I know I missed the sale btw, used that to get death and dishonor and together for victory.
My brother gave me 18.98 because he wasn't going to use it.
Now what?

Old gods is great, way of life is good.

Sword of islam and the republic are good for opening up more options for playing as more characters.

Kind of just depends on what you want for the others

Look at that and decide for yourself, see what you like the sound of the most.

I was talking about a forum let's play where one person is at the helm of production and most of combat while the others make major diplomatic and technological decisions and any other choices the main player is having difficulty with. The main player would update us with pictures and descriptions of what’s going on so we can act as their cabinet. Perhaps with RT56 and as many mods as possible.
Maybe it would be better in EU4, I dun know.

Now what?

- Conclave is pure cancer with syphilis on top.
- The Pagan DLC is probably the most fun you'll ever had.
- The Muslim DLC is not essential, but still quite fun.
- The Chinese DLC is completely irrelevant. That is to say it can be fun to have around but unless you are playing in India, Tibet or Mongolia you might as well not have it. But it's something to get if you get bored of the rest of the game.
- Legacy of Rome is nice for the retinues.
- The other DLCs are either cosmetic or add non essential changes to the game that mostly serve as a good way to add value when you get bored of what you have but aren't essential from a quality perspective. Like say Charlemagne with the even earlier early starting date or Sunset Invasion with the "game got boring? have a giant wave of Aztecs to mix things up" game option.

Forgot to mention I do not own or use the Conclave DLC. That thing is pure cancer.

So we are talking plain old regular CK2 voting where all vassals vote.

Oh... Hmm... Okay remind me how to take screen shots on steam and I'll do this for ya'll via the Kaiserriech mod.

First recommend a nation for us to play. Remember Kiaseerriech.

I recommend Germany, Russia, or Japan.

Name at most three and we'll see which one is played.

Edit: I haven't been a fan of the base game as it's too military focused for me- as such proves to who ever ends up being the Head of the military.

Again, that's Conclave content. I am not playing with conclave. I do not have a riling council or disposition or anything like that.

Probably the most powerful lord in the middle east at the moment, i'd say even with that civil war. Which, if it ends and he is still in power, he will have the most land in the game.
