Dad: See that son? That is a paradox thread. The seventh of them.
Son: Paradox thread? What's that?
Dad: You will soon learn...

"There is no poll to celebrate the succession!? Clearly an omen that gods don't look favourably upon the new King"
*starts gifting China concubines for an invasion*

The entire website committed seppuku while ei was still in front of my computer, I blame the Dutch.
Probably working for the Ottomans.

Ottomans is nice and so.

Anyway, Bad AI mod for HoI4 slowed down the game remarkably.

Don’t worry my liege, we’ll flush out their spies in no time.

[Impaled Nazarene]

Hey you used the title idea i had!
Impaled Nazarene has gained +20 opinion of Geni: AH-RA-LA-OH LA AH-RA-LA-OH LA

[Renoa]

I just loaded up an old game of CK2, pre-Ghyna expansion, just to see what it would do with the map updates. On day one all of the new counties were no character, no culture, but when I unpaused it was all divided between the existing neighboring countries. It was all Catholic despite being nowhere near any Catholic rulers and was a mix between Bodpa, Khitan, and Norse cultures. Mind you, this is a start date well after Norse had already split into Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian, so I have no idea why it chose that.

[Genivaria]

There, OP fixed to be gender consistent.

I swear I had you shot.

I believe I did yes, it was a good idea.

[The Olog-Hai]

I'm a smidge late for this, but I like the new thread smell. I think I've now been around for a grand total of two of these.

[Wallenburg]

I lost just about lost half an hour naming vassals after a successful crusade. Most of my living dynasty owns titles now.

[Imperial--japan]

This title is 10/10.

Anyways, kinda wish I could form Armenia in EU4.

[Herador]

HoI IV confounds me. I've never been so shit at something but needed to play it this much.

I think I might even be having fun.

And then you remember that HOI3 was FAR more complicated.

I own it and I've played 30 minutes of it. I couldn't handle anymore, my nose started bleeding and I started tasting sounds.

And then Stellaris came out and veteran PDX gamers were like....is this it?

See, I actually liked Stellaris.

I mean, until I modded the shit out of it and broke it twelve different ways.

Speaking of DLC, is any of the HoI IV DLC worth getting? I'm mostly playing the US trying to punch Hitler in the face and it seems like they focus pretty heavily on not that.

The US is basically easy mode because of its relative isolation, it's massive resources and it's ridiculously OP industry once you switch to a war economy.
Note that while the American industry is OP in game in reality it was actually more powerful than what the game represents.
USA! USA! USA!

Well yeah, that's why I'm playing them. I've got my Easy Mode nation on Easy Mode.

Smart man, personally I can't wait for the China DLC.
I wonder if they'll give Manchuko a Focus Tree and let puppet Emperor Pu Yi break free of Japan.

That'd be cool, it'd give all my party boosting, coup throwing, lend-leasing on all sides in that region some theatrical value.

[Bralia]

More than two hundred people had gathered together to hear him speak (some at the point of a bayonet).

The front ranks were made up entirely of loyalists.
They were all dressed in the newly issued black imperial uniforms.
Most of the vast crowd were dressed in ordinary work clothes, some were in little more than rags.
The Puppet War was entering its third year, and things were only getting worse. The common people were suffering almost as much now as they had been at the very end of the last war. They were hungry, scared, and desperate. They were ready to listen to anyone who could promise them hope.
On the stage behind him were his three strongest supporters former Empress Bralia, Imperial Chancellor Nazarene, and Reichmarshall Huskar.
All except for Bralia were in uniform. (Bralia steadfastly refused to be told how to dress)

Finally clear-headed and have time to read the OP. And I have to say, I'm pleased with my role in this. Looking fabulous in a dress is one of the best things I do. You can be assured that your reign will be glamorous with me at your side, Geni.

You may call me Sun Tzu.

That game doesn't exist.
