PDX Games IX: Western Pre-Turkic Empire

[Bralia]

I guess I'm just going to go into hibernation for everyday that's not Tuesday. No expected DDs for the entire month. I hate it.

Update to Jannabids:

Holy shit I remember how crusades work now. Been a while since I've engaged myself in GHWs, so I declared a Jihad for Jerusalem. It was great, managed to yoink the whole place from Catholic hands. Unfortunately the Catholics promprtly retaliated, and I was on the recieving end of one of their crusades. Worst of all, the rest of Africa was busy converting to Shia Islam and not my Qarmatian brand, and so I had basically no allies against the tsunami of crusaders. There are like 40K-50K of them roving 'round the Levant, can't tell exact numbers since there are so many of them. Think I am going to lose the war. I managed to build up a mighty Arabian Empire, but unfortunately even that is not enough.

Damn, you really suck at this don't you, Danubian?

Here's what I am dealing with. I would complain, but that would just make me a butthurt loser.

The potential to sound like a butthurt loser has never stopped me from endlessly complaining in this thread, as I'm sure some have noticed.

the only good iberia is a Roman iberia

[Genivaria]

So i beat Japan in my early war, lost a few screens but they can easily be replaced. And China, having the higher war score decided to puppet Japan and take its holdings in Manchuria. But it turns out they can still go on their focuses to strike southward so i might still have to fight them again lol

This might have backfired on me. I own Kyushu though so i can bumrush the japanese with an army if it looks like things will go off. And then China cant do much to me as they lack a naval force.


edit: God i forgot how good the US industry is in this game, you can build sooo much shit its mad.

At some point you start having to figure out new stuff to build because all your factory slots have been maxed out.

Thats what i did lol

By the end i thought about just spamming forts everywhere as i filled every factory slot and built up all the infrastructure

Do I need max radar and AA in Montana? Sure, why not.

With how i was building up America in that run every state would have been a literal fortress by the end.

Nothing but bunkers, factories, AA batteries and field guns as far as the eye can see. And fucking giant airports.

Somewhere the CEO's of Concrete and Steel companies just fainted from sheer happiness.

If those darned Nazis ever try to invade Dubuque, then they'll be sorry. And don't even get me started on the impregnable curtain of concrete and steel that is Billings, Montana.

[Purpelia]

I newer get to that stage mostly because I reserve a slot in each province for atom bomb factories and those take forever to build. So there is always something in the que.

You know what . . . I'm just going to say: I don't know why people freak out about cancer so much, it's really not that bad.

There are those once in a blue moon fascist and communist focus trees for America's great enemy, Canada.

I saw this and had to remember what thread I was looking at because out of context...

Remind me to never appoint Doctor Bralia here to be my court physician.

[Purpelia]

I wonder if HOI4 is ever going to get an aircraft and tank designer like the ship one we already have.

Would be cool. Maybe change medium/light/heavy/SH tank battalions to battalions being of a specific type of tank.

If you're a perfectly normal, healthy human being (no added benefits like Strong, no unusual maluses like Bedridden) with a good doctor and receive good treatments, something which is very consistently possible, you can actually more or less live your life free of the threat of dying. -1 health is perfectly survivable.

And then there's the fertility aspect. I can tell you with full confidence that if you're even slightly horny, the affliction is statistically pretty much hard countered.

I'm just busting your balls, I don't think I've ever lost a ruler to cancer. I lost an heir once, but he was raised in my wife's religion and culture so honestly it was a positive for me anyway.

I might be the minority I guess but I've lost so many to cancer. I've had rulers survive having the Plague more than I've had them survive cancer.

Can someone help me with this decision?

Been playing Imperator again and I decided to browse the wiki for ideas. I found this decision listed under formable nations. Can someone tell me where this nation is and which countries are elligible to form it? Can't seem to find the Yuezhi culture it speaks of. Thanks in advance.

Yuezhi apparently migrated from China into India

Have you looked around that region? Also can Cultures disappear in this game like they can in others? They might have already died off
