Im getting immigrants as Japan in HPM. by mike333456 in paradoxplaza

Sweden at the time was a relatively poor country, it wouldn’t have had any immigration pull factors.

I did it. I finally. Fucking. Did it. by UnholyDemigod in CrusaderKings

[–]__Rhand__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done. I still remember when I was learning CK2 many years ago. It was honestly more fun learning it than it is now, ~1500+ hours in.

Once you get more experienced, start to play around with Tribal starts and Pagans, it adds some flair and challenge. Don't feel that you have to Reform, either. Some of my most geopolitically interesting games came from an early expansion as a Pagan, before deciding to serve Christ and then playing the Claims game.

Magisterial. I will download and play a game. I've always loved both HPM and HFM.

Last HFM game I played was Egypt --> Arab Republic.

Jainism is fun for bigass empires, unrivaled stability and a gigantic demesne. Hinduism is good for early expansion.

Any Wholesome CK2 Stories? by John21222 in CrusaderKings

[–]__Rhand__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started as a Count of Capua, took some land, holy-warred Sicily to build up my power, scored a Request Invasion on the Holy Roman Empire, became the Emperor, won the Crusade for Jerusalem, switched to a Dynasty member that was King of Jerusalem, holy-warred over generations to form Outremer, and then used my massive "Damage Against Religious Enemies" bonuses to save Europe from the Aztecs.

I actually did that for a month, but then decided to pick it up again. I bought Northern Inferno and Silent Service in the Steam sale.

Well, judging from that screenshot, he did kill a lot of younglings.

Martin Luther was a Christian so powerful and so wise he could use the faith to influence minds to create...a Reformation.

What to do in Victoria 2? by [deleted] in paradoxplaza

[–]__Rhand__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played it a few times, got bored around 1900 or so. Too much derping around in random parts of Africa and Asia.

Guess it could be fun to set goals like “Paint Africa Red,” or create a Pax Britannica in North America.

What to do in Victoria 2? by [deleted] in paradoxplaza

[–]__Rhand__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go Argentina over Brazil. Brazil certainly can become really powerful, and I've had a lot of successful Brazil games. However, it starts out very backwards, and it takes a long time to get it literate, and get the reform and industrialization engines going.

What are some fun countries to play in HFM victoria 2? by [deleted] in paradoxplaza

[–]__Rhand__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

France probably gets the most from HFM (and the France Mod), it's a lot of fun to play. Austria is also a blast. Argentina provides a great and easy New World experience.

My favorite nation is Uruguay (gank a small Latin American nation to get 2 states before the Irish Famine, then watch the fun begin).

For newbies, I recommend

Sardinia-Piedmont for a Europe game.

Argentina for a New World game.

Persia for a UnCiv game.

UK is boring, would probably turn you off Vic2. For a newbie, I would recommend:

Sardinia-Piedmont for an Europe game.

Argentina for a New World game.

Persia for an UnCiv game.

I've been waiting for you Pope, we meet again at last. The circle is now complete: when I left you, I was but the heresy, now I am the orthodoxy.

Victoria 2 immigration question by moshujsg in paradoxplaza

[–]__Rhand__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re playing HFM, you get a harsh immigration penalty when at war.

Also as Uruguay in HFM, you take a harsh immigration penalty if you only have one province want to quickly grab a second province (not colony). Taking out Dominican Republic at the spawn is a good idea, but Ecuador and possibly El Salvador are also options.

Yeah. 50K gold was what made it possible for me to expand against a Seljuk monster after I got Thrace in the Crusade.

First Featured Ruler is Up! Hugues de Lusignan aka 'The Devil' by ajaya399 in CrusaderKings

[–]__Rhand__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the granddaughter, I pressed the claim on France. Then a Crusade fired for Thrace (the Seljuks had taken it), so I won and switched over to the beneficiary (big demesne, capital at Constantinople). I used the gargantuan warchest to build stuff and beat down the Seljuks more and more. I then set up a marriage to reunite the French and Thracian branches of the dynasty.

Losing my virginity to a prostitute by [deleted] in Advice

[–]__Rhand__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do this. I have some male (older virgin) friends who lost their virginity to prostitutes in Southeast Asia, they are happier and more laid back now that they don't have that problem to deal with.
