This is the former Equestria dev. I found out why he was booted off the team. He dared to dislike the communists' favorite pony, he slaughtered their sacred cow.

It sucks that you put a G5 pic

Supposedly there should be update soonish for New Mareway and Canterlot Alicorns.

My source says that he got put on probation by the rest of the dev team so that he couldn't run for some leadership position they made on the discord server recently

They killed the Equestria rework on purpose

>>41008271
>this fucking sunny out of nowhere for no reason
dogfaggots are utterly insufferable

The Crystal Empire needs a rework with crystal heart mechanics.

>>41009072
So they cut off their nose to spite their face, eh? Him and Siggy are their best devs too, the rest just don't match up to them at all. Kiria is fucking trash because it was the retarded Pax dev that did it.

Ok I have to be honest. I fucking hate Posada. I hate how the game goes out of it's way to make her le heckin wholesome in every single event. "BUT SHE CAN BE EVIL!" says the apologist, but she is ONLY morally questionable if the player chooses evil options which are, in all honesty, always out of character. The genociding Chiropterra option especially feels like it comes out of nowhere. It's like if you won the Great War as Celestia and you got an option to ultragenocide the bugs. In the events themselves she is always presented in a positive way, so if the intention was making her a morally ambiguous character then the game failed preety hard.
I've seen the people in the 'cord get mad when someone says Posada is fully evil, saying that "she isn't totally evil OR totally nice either", but for whatever reason none of them seem to mind when someone says she is 100% epic good and wholesome. Ask yourself why that is.
Which brings me to her fans. I have, and I'm completely serious here, not seen even 1 Posada fan that isn't obviously mentally ill (I mean they're communists so mental illness is a given, but you get what I mean).
TL;DR: I fucking hate Posada

>>41010276
>always out of character
Her torturing the high command is 100% in character, as is executing Razorbeak, as is committing to a military occupation of Chiropterra

>>41009631
The Crystal Empire exists to eat the north and then be absorbed into Equestria. At least it should.

>>41010276
>It's like if you won the Great War as Celestia and you got an option to ultragenocide the bugs.
I thought you said it was supposed to be out of character.

Elliot's Husband

>>41010276
Directly occupying Chirroptera is well within her character. Did you miss the entire deal with her schizophrenic dream episodes? For her to see parallels between Storm King and Chiro makes complete sense.
The only disappointment in that path is that the successors after she goes BOOM don't have more content. Because, Terrafin, Hard Line and Crack all have the potential to do some interesting stuff continuing her vision with their ow streak.

Anonymous

>>41011444
It's a bit sad reading the after events of Crack especially. Just from two events you can tell he's really torn up about losing Posada despite their differences, and in the second one even can take her good lessons to heart and move away from supremacy when he sees an old photo of the two of them.

>>41012504
Sorry if you want actual content for them you have to fulfill Posada's shitty utopian dream even though Harmony already exists as the utopian seeking ideology (that doesn't involve subjecting millions to death and torture for not being Harmonist)

There is one single determining factor that makes a country the best country, and that is the presence of Sugarcoat.

Is this fucking harmonist black hundreds?

>>41008271
Cool are we adding Skyros to the game? Or Starlight Ridge? Or any place from G5?

>>41019583
I think there was a teaser that renamed Chiropterran cities to G5 locations, but I can't really find it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious though, if G5 actually took place in some post-apocalyptic future version of Chiropterra?

The bears and Zarantia are the best nations currently.

>>41026292
Yea, but aesthetically? Are Bears and Zaranthia better in that sense?

Equestria. It has the most show-accurate aesthetics.

>>41009072
wait, so equestria rework is not happening ? And the reason is that someone was shit talking commie horse ?

>>41027432
Yeah, the main guy who was behind the Equestria rework got booted for disliking Starlight.

I don't know where the "he got kicked off the team" thing came from but there's nothing to suggest that it's actually true. He is indeed no longer working on the rework, but I think it was something to do with getting busy with real life stuff. But it definitely wasn't from being kicked off.

Start the civil war, play as Celestia, go for Daybreaker. Changelings are supposed to be nazi expies. There's also Chiropterra, they're llike a secret Nightmare moon nazi colony.

It was abandoned for years. Anyway, at this point only Sig, Baron and JPG make any good content. Every other dev just sucks and makes different variations of blandness.

Oh yea, Tiddo is also good, shame that he only does gfx nowadays. I am still disappointed he didn't finish the Changeling Queens submod. .

>>41030732
>implying that anyone else cared for Equestria
Why then still even called this mod equestria at war...
it always buffled my how much resentment dev have in making any pony content. Why making such a mod at first place even, when it feels that fans almost must push them to do anything else then 169th rework of some small gryphon country.

>>41030808
Well if we took off our fucking moron hats, we could probably guess that they have significantly more creative freedom with zebrican or griffonian nations because they aren't canon.
>one person was in charge of the entire EQS rework
The last time this happened we got Kiria. Why does this mod keep giving its nations to one person. Unless this mod has multiple developers on EQS all at the same time (which it won't because internet retards have no concept of teamwork) we're probably going to be stuck with what we have now for Equestria and the Changelings.

Does anyone actually know why Baron left or are we just writing fanfiction in this thread to guess?

>>41030918
baron threatened to cancel the equestria rework unless he got promoted to the new mod coordinator role (they get to say what goes in the mod) and was kicked soon after he raged about it. now someone else is working on equestria but they haven't announced it yet. sorry if that doesn't fit your nice little headcanon of tranny commie devs abusing power

>>41031162
>guy responsible for doing the most important content in the mod doesn't get to say what that content it is
>doesn't fit your nice little headcanon of tranny commie devs abusing power

>>41030732
Sig's problem is that he's pretty much obsessed over the polar bears and will probably die working on their umpteenth update.
>>41030918
The difference is Caspy made bad content (Pax Chrysalia, Kiria) while Baron made good content (Sirens, Twilight Theory)

>>41030918
Considering that they made the changelings a large modern nation directly bordering Equestria and that Stalliongrad is a thing it's not as if they've ever been especially concerned with canon.

>>41031504
>They're not concerned with canon when it makes Equestria strong. When canon makes Equestria weak they love it.
ftfy

Let's not beat around the bush. The rot started with Griffonia release, after all it's Griffonia At War not EAW

>>41031182
>manchild throws a fit when he was told he can't tell other devs what they can do with their countries when he already had a blank cheque to do whatever he wanted with equestria

this was entirely his doing and everyone was fine with the status quo until he raised hell about not having power over everyone else

>>41032026
The rot started the first time they updated and didn't change Equus.

>>41032027
Why wouldn't you give your most significant and important team member a significant and important role?

>>41032040
The more important question is why even add such a role to the dev team instead of communicating clearly with each other?

>>41032040
This, plus Equestria is massive and isn't just one country anyway. If Fillydelphia has Glimmer talk about how the sisters didn't do anything and barely lifted a loaf of bread is he supposed to just say "ok"?

This isn't like all the Griffonian shitholes where devs can just make whatever they feel like and ignore everyone else. Even if he had a blank cheque with Equestria, it didn't matter if other people's bad content leaked in and made Equestria worse too

>>41031940
They'd be envious of anyone who tried to make good content for Equestria because they know that anyone who did that would instantly become the most well-liked contributor of the mod.

I've completely lost the plot and I refuse to join their discord. Is the Equestria rework still happening or not?

>>41034445
It's been that since the beginning with Stalliongrad and only got worse.

>>41034445
The only thing that is worth playing in OWB is the Enclave Reborn Redux submod.

>>41034543
>>41034445
Stalliongrad is a fitting nation for a WW2-styled pony mod. It's all about moderation - you can add some ocs and original nations, but at some point it all becomes overwhelming and you just get tired of all the stuff. I think adding Zebrica was a mistake - instead of TNO-style loredumps about literally who OCs i'd prefer if the devs fleshed out the existing content. A major rework of Equestria, making the world more interconnected (what happens in a certain nation affects its neighbors and sometimes the whole continent), adding more late game content, perhaps individual paths for a global war between united Equus and united Griffonia for each possible unifier? What i'm getting at here is that a lot could still be done with the 2 existing continents and the mod could be made more interesting without the Zebrica bloat.
You could say that Griffonia is also an OC continent and you would be right, but somehow it feels fitting, it's not overdone and nicely fits together with Equus.

>>41034608
>Stalliongrad is a fitting nation for a WW2-styled pony mod.
The problem is specifically in its relation to Equestria.

>>41034642
One of its biggest issues is that it's perfect to form as a breakaway due to changeling interference as they prep for the Great War but it's already its own thing long before that AND the changelings only got tank experience there without actually having an active role in affairs.

>>41034554
>>41034655
Funnily enough they could just steal shit from Enclave Reborn and it would make Equestria and the changelings both way more fun to play and way more fitting for their countries.

It's not just a shitty nation that's the country equivalent of an overpowered self insert OC, it also displays an astounding lack of historical literacy, writing ability, and even basic understanding of people.
Stalliongrad fits nothing other than what reads like it would be in-universe propaganda and everything about its inclusion is a complete mistake. It should be erased entirely and totally from the map and lore.

Okay, coming here for the monthly EU4 mod information.

>>41035571
Most nations in EaW are trying to be a mirror of a real-world counterpart, whether because the writing is creatively bankrupt or just out of some attempt to appeal to normies. It's been like this since the very beginning (Stalliongrad, Olenia, Changelings). The tank models are just a symptom of it.
The best nations imo are Bears, Barrad, Wittenland, Zarantia, (and extremely reluctantly Dread League) because all of these nations embrace the fantasy setting and work within it, despite half of them lacking modern content. I'd include Tambelon among them but it's literally just the story of Star Control 2 rehashed albeit with a shittier bad guy motive.

>>41036334
It's insane how slept on Zarantia is and when it is talked about the focus tends to be on the Worm Queen than anything else.

>>41036637
It suscks, I'vve played their Non Aligned and Supremacist paths, and both are really fun. Non Alligned is a real feel good path, pleasant story about someone's dream coming true, and making their country better. Supremacist is fun gameplay wise, and you get insane cores.

>>41036756

Who writes this shit? So tired of the unrealistic writing guys

>>41037660
Stalliongrad requires Celestia acting with such sheer incompetence and stupidity to happen as it does and would only make sense as a changeling op.

>>41037667
I suggest you read up on Nikolai the second and his brilliant leadership. Reality is stranger and much more retarded than fiction. I don't think that most people understand what an incredibly ludicrous and unrealistic the mere notion of communists coming to power in Russia was just before the WW1. Looking at that, Stalliongrad is not that unbelievable.

>>41037683
The situations are entirely different, don't be disingenuous.

>>41037660
>>41037683
There's a reason communism didn't arise in Britain. Or America. Or Germany. Or France. Or Belgium.
The fact that you can only use such absurd false comparisons just shows how uninformed you are on the matter.
>just before the WW1.
Gee, I wonder if the "war to end all wars" had anything to do with potentially upheaving Russian society to the point that it suffered complete breakdown.
Nah, it must've just been an inevitable matter of time until the communists took power that would've happened anyways, it was just that everyone was too stupid to notice until it was too late.

>New portrait for Silver Star when he is redeemed in Wittenland.
post it

>>41034885
There's a super easy way to fix Stalliongrad:

>Make it a semi-autonomous duchy that has it's own Duke but is under the Equestrian Demesne.
>It's still the heart of the industrial revolution that spread into Equestria but now the ills of it are felt locally: it's now starting to be left behind by the rest of Equestria as conglomerates and big tycoons squeeze the populace
>At game start though it's still a Duchy but there's a growing communist movement who have forced the Duke to recognize the power of the Worker Councils and the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Celestia doesn't want to intervene unless necessary, if you do so as Equestria it will trigger nationalist sentiment and probably result in a war. Even if you conquer it the moment Changelings evade they'll rise up again and you can only really pacify them by going full scorched earth as either Daybreaker or NMM so better to just leave them to their devices.
>Once any upheaval in Equestria happens revolution in the Duchy happens with several different sides potentially taking part. There always will be a communist revolt though. It's also possible for a full take over without civil war if you play your cards right as the Communists start off from a strong political position.
>Communist path plays out as normal from there with maybe an expedited power struggle between how Stalinist you want to be. Potential for other non-commie paths too.

Now communists get the play out their revolution LARP instead of it being just background lore and it makes more sense. Celestia at game start would be retarded to not invade or at least force them to recognize Canterlot's authority. If they break away during any Equestrian Shitfest stuff though than it makes way more sense.

Barrad is only really fun once. And in Wittenland only Wulfric is fun.
I agree about Bears and Zarantia and I would add Longsword and Tobuck to that. I also like Hippogriffs and Yale albeit with some caveats. I still need to play Azir to see if it is good.

Elliot's Husband

Celestia should in fact be a perfect ruler because that is her role in the show as well. Being a benevolent and good ruler.
The issues Equestria has to deal with should be external threats, no the internal ones. Because most of the internal threats were already dealt by Mane 6 through out the course of the show.

Anonymous

because supremacy includes non-fascists like the changelings (absolutist monarchism is NOT fascism fuck you), actual necromancers, plutocrats, etc etc

>>41044107
the perfect ruler in question:

>>41044344
Literally not canon. Not even for the obvious reasons, but literally because EAW only follows canon up to right before the season six finale.

>>41044348
Also not canon, this time for the obvious reasons.

Elliot's Husband

>>41044342
Communism also has plenty of non-communist socialist regimes. So the point does stand that Communism should be renamed to something more broad too.
I still think Equalism should have been the ideology name and everything else subideology.

I did another A-Z nation. This time Griffonian Republic.

I decided to go full on harmonist with this, conquering what I can through my focus and getting the elections. I went for the Wingbardian guy. I had a pretty easy time overall, likely due to the fact that the Empire was very late with its unification allowing me to attach while it was fighting Katarin.

Pros:
>Lots of unique story and events. A lot of work has been put into the lore of this nation.
>Good amount of content. Even when you beat the Empire, you'll still get a new political focus tree to go through.
>Fun gameplay and it does feel satisfying to take Griffenheim. Lots of cores to be had.

Cons:
>It gets very easy if your lucky with the Empire, especially so once you take them.

This nation is only slightly harder then the Empire, which to say, its still very easy and certainly a good option for newer players. I will say that the focus tree is great. Barely if any 70 day focuses and there's a lot of content. I feel like the Republic gets often overlooked compared to the other Griffonian majors, which is a real shame because its certainly up there in terms of quality,

Next up will be Griffon Liberation Army.

Elliot's Husband

The truth is, EAW cherry-picks stuff from the show that are canon and that are not. And then still puts its own spin on the stuff.
So arguing about it is pointless, it has been a thing since the beginning.

That depends. What nations do you remember playing and what is your skill level?

>>41049052
I don't know, but Silverstream is a character for Hippogriffia and when you hire her as a political advisor the event talks about her using what she learned at the Friendship School

I havent played since they added the zebra continent, skill level is above average I guess? The hardest thing I did was destroy the River coalition with Hellquill

>>41049917
In that case, try Zarantia or Tobruk if you want to play in Zebrica. As for Griffonia, I guess you can try Longsword, since its basically a slightly harder version of Hellquill. For Equus, definitely try the bears. They have a lot of fun paths.

Would you rather the entire region started off as one unified realm? They would either be ridiculously overpowered or stuck doing nothing on their island.

I think the EUIV mod is a mistake. The game itself is already an abomination, but add onto that the EaW team trying to retroactively create a world to fit as a background to their already poorly thought out WWII setting and trying to balance hundreds of years of gameplay and it just starts tearing itself apart at the seams. This is never going to end well, and that much was apparent from the very moment it was even revealed.

What's your trick for playing as the Sirens? What's the best time frame for each step, or should I just skip over the Aria and Sonata sides of the focus tree until after taking Equestria?

How would EAW nations fare against WW2/Cold War era Earth nations?

>>41059063
Poorly. Very poorly. They're less populous and less developed. For example the entirety of Equus has about the same population as the United States in 1948. Humans would also have a lot less regard for their lives because, well, they're not human. Some races would have it worse than others on that front. Changelings would definitely have it the worst seeing as they're shapeshifting parasitic insects. You'd probably be hard pressed to find a single person who wouldn't want all of them dead.

Still if S4 is canon to EaW than that means Celestia and Luna canonically got their shit pushed in by vines, so them being 'immortal god emperors' already is pretty questionable characterization if they're that weak.

If they're "that weak" then you run into the problem that Celestia wouldn't have survived for as long as she has.

Wouldn't the same regard for life apply to the EAW nations? Also, the magical advantage may make up for the population. Changelings may not be popular, but their natural abilities easily give them unparalleled spying and intelligence gathering potential, especially since humans would have no magic to potentially detect them.

>>41063155
>Wouldn't the same regard for life apply to the EAW nations?
No, because they're already used to having lots of other species around. They can still regard other species as lesser of course, but it wouldn't be the same total disregard that many humans would have for other species.
>Also, the magical advantage may make up for the population.
Magic in the world of EaW is really impotent. And you're talking about overcoming a 2.5-3x population difference plus more industry.
>Changelings may not be popular, but their natural abilities easily give them unparalleled spying and intelligence gathering potential, especially since humans would have no magic to potentially detect them.
This would work great at first, but it wouldn't take long to develop countermeasures against it.
Just think about it, if they're sending in changelings disguised as preexisting people then all it takes is asking them something that only that person would know to instantly out them. Not only that, but when you discover a shapeshifted changeling you already know for absolute certain exactly who they're working for and that they're up to no good. Now you might say that they'd obviously kidnap the original person and torture them for information, but that runs into two problems. First, how many of these kidnappings can you really do without anyone noticing anything? Second, how can you know that they're giving you truthful information? Your changeling agent only has one chance to give the right information to not draw suspicion. If you give them the wrong stuff then it goes back to the first part where they're instantly outed. If the guy you're torturing deliberately gives you the wrong information, how are you supposed to know? You can't exactly test it.
If they're disguising changelings as people that don't already exist in order to avoid all of the above problems, then how is that any different from regular spying with sending a guy over with a fake identity?

Elliot's Husband

>>41063851
And you are wrong.
Tatzle wurms are something that you cant defend against even with technology, because they strike from underground.
Sirens can easily mindcontrol an entire nation with their singing.
Barrad can create a mechanical supersoldier, build an infinite zombie army and summon army of demons.
Longsword has a spirit of revenge sent down by the she-wolf goddess and he cannot be killed no matter what.
Polar Bears have their star steel armour that can go toe to toe with tanks.
Celestia and Luna control the celestial bodies.
Pony magic controls the weather, creates super-strong soldiers and can heal most of the wounds.
Griffons can enchant their weapons and armour.
Zebras can also boost themselves with alchemy.
Changelings breed incredibly fast and can infiltrate the enemy, and their Queens can also mind control the enemy.
The magic in EAW is most definitely not impotent. If there was any human invasion the humans would absolutely have a difficult time.

You could have her be a breakaway faction in the civil war, maybe supporting Celestia in name but advocating for stronger authority, less direct diarchic control in favor of Octavia as the leader of a council of corporations. Batpony genocide and buffalo resettlement would be included, of course, as well as purging Lunarist elements in the state. It could be like an alternate flavor of Solarist-style authority, with Celestia only going along reluctantly in response to overwhelmingly popular support for the Melodites.

Everything else is just boring. I am also infinitely disappointed that Niriks are just rebellion to slow you down as Rising, I wanted actual playable Niriks.

I wish Cloudsdale could be a breakaway during a civil war.
I wish Pumpkin family tag the Rock Union didn't get removed. And instead got a proper focus tree.

Fucking finally done with this as well. Another A-Z nation done. This time Griffon Liberation Army.

This campaign took way too long. Started off as GLA, went to Prywhen and obviously went expansionist. I eventually unified my region, then killed the Karthinians and finally the Empire followed by the Feds. Took over most of the continent, basically.

Pros:
>Lots of conquest potential. I pretty much cored Evi, the Empire and the riverlands, which means reasons for conquest.
>Interesting start.
>Natural enemies lead to good wars.

Cons:
>Lack of variety. You either go expansionist commie or isolationist commie.
>Lore is lacking. Some of the focus tree descriptions are nice, but very little events or anything to make the nation feel anything more then somewhat generic communists.

Overall, despite the warning when starting up this nation, GLA is surprisingly fun. Lots of conquest options without putting you in an impossible situation for them can make for a fun country to play if you want a chill conquest run. Otherwise though, there's not much more to it. The nation itself is kind of boring in its character, making conquest not as satisfying outside of getting more cores.

Next up will be Gryphian Host.

Who else is going to touch it? The Russians are obsessed with STG. They probably hired him back in secret to hide their shame

>>41097901
He just left their server entirely...

>>41098032
Well he is making his own mod instead.

>>41099190
Does he have any place where he posts updates for that? Or is he not doing teasers?

Baronpill me, I don't know all the internal dev drama and who is /ourguy/ and who is a retard

>>41099584
Baron was the guy who was doing the Equestria rework. They booted him from the team because he wanted Equestria to be more important than they were going to tolerate. That's basically it.

>>41008271
Has anyone gotten creamapi working and can share tips on how you did it? I seem to be having troubles on my end, as nothing shows up for me after patching and generating the creamapi files with Koaloader.

>>41099887
I did it a while ago so I don't remember exactly but you need to download all of the DLCs that you don't have, drag them into the DLC folder of your regular game, then run creamapi.
Creamapi doesn't download or create the DLCs, it just activates them.

>>41099584
Nobody is /ourguy/. They are all retards. Welcome to communal code development

Thank you very much, I have it working now. Take this picture of a cool medic nun as a reward.

Isn't balance of power constantly derided for being a shitty mechanic? Why the fuck is it in Equestria?

Wait, we getting Mean6 Twi? If so I might give them a shot.

>stupid army mechanic still there
>no division training or editing
if i cant get rid of it in the first 3 months imma riot

>bb-but muh immersion and equestria is demilitarized
ive had it with this cope bullshit where equestria needs to be ultra nerfed at the start of the game until the mid-game 1012.
are players supposed to jerkoff to the game art for 5 in game years? industry is restricted, army is restricted, construction is restricted, the focus tree will probably be railroaded on top of that. just let us play the game ffs

>>41100233
Once again they fucked up the future compass. AAAAAA save me Sig. Why don't they just give it to him to make? The only good future compass was bear one.

>>41100715
Equestria, should have been done like KX Russia. That you start incredibly weak, demilitarized and have to build up for the war. With difference that here you are not doing it through conquest but gradually as the tensions with changelings (and Stalliongrad) are mounting.

>>41101035
You've changed nothing but make the current bad situation more elaborately bad.

>>41101033
Siggy is their only good dev at this point. Caspy is obsessed with making shitty visual novels and no one else is notable for anything, especially with Baron gone.

>>41099600
he got booted for being a manchild and refusing to work on equestria (which he already had total control over to do whatever he wanted with) unless he was put in charge of the rest of the mod. nobody on the team has that kind of power and he wanted them to invent a new role that put him above everyone else. after realizing he was stupid for making such an ultimatum, he left the team and when he asked to be let back on a week later, he was refused reentry for holding development of the most important nation in the mod hostage.

anyways someone else is picking up his work on equestria now, and the moment that was made public, baron left the discord server

tl;dr don't demand to be made ruler of the mod (no such position exists, nor even for scroup) when you're already the undisputed ruler of the most important country

>>41101626
This seems infinitely more likely than some 'elaborate conspiracy' from all the other developers because they hate Equestria. Baron was just a colossal faggot.

>he got booted for [HEADCANON]
lol ok, ur welcome to prove me wrong by providing screenshots <s> which ofc won't be edited psyop garbage or shit taken out of context </s>

>>41101626
>>41101663
>my source is I made it the fuck up

Stalliongrad devs wanted Equestria to bend over backwards to accommodate their stupid ideas (just look at the new BoP teaser that has Stalliongrad sympathizers as the commie party) but Baron did chimp out which he has a noted history of. Everyone was wrong in this situation but a Baron led Equestria is far more important to the mod than Stalliongrad will ever be because he was actually good at writing and understands the show and characters.

>>41101998
>(just look at the new BoP teaser that has Stalliongrad sympathizers as the commie party)
Eh, it's not that bad. I think. At least considering that it used to be fucking 20% commie support.

>>41101998
if you had brain and stopped simping for baron or any other dev for that matter, you'd see in the commit history that it was actually added by baron

>>41102112
>Baron did chimp out which he has a noted history of
>if you had brain and stopped simping for baron
I don't think what he's doing qualifies as simping, anon.

>>41102125
It is in fact I that lack a brain, rest still stand that it was baron that added it

>>41101626
Do you have any proof of this? The way I see it, the only way we could know for sure what happened is if a dev post screens of whatever Discord conversation led to this.

>>41101626
Sounds like the mod just needs to be completely rebuilt from the ground up with Equestria at the forefront of every major decision.

>>41102236
I always interpreted equestria to be semi isolationist. They have diplomatic relations and trade with other countries but they rarely get directly involved.

>>41104094
Okay? Just make their gameplay about changing that and becoming the global defender of harmony.

>>41008271
Back from a long haitus and missing "Arms Against Tyrany" and "By Blood Alone" (alongside "Trial of Allegiance")
Are they worth picking up? I was considering buying them on sale but I'm a retard and I forgot

>>41104257
yes, or just pirate them, or leech off from someone who has them in MP games

>>41104267
I'm normally pretty anti-piracy (out of apathy more than anything else) but given how shit paradox have been as devs I'm kind of tempted
There's basically nothing they've done recently that I could justify financing

I'd say if you bought the base game, you shouldn't feel too bad. It's not like their a small indie studio anymore. I did buy the DLC's myself, but then again, I had the luxury of being around when they came out. Much harder to justify them when more then one are new.

If you want to buy it, I guess you can check for prices at https://gg.deals/game/hearts-of-iro<wbr>n-iv/ . If you want to pirate, you can try checking from https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.p<wbr>hp?f=10&t=65592&hilit=hearts+of+iro<wbr>n . Good website if you want to pirate game DLC.

What lowly eastern European language is that?

>>41111598
I didn't know the baby Kazakhstans had languages, though for most of my life I didn't know there were countries in down there and just knew Kazakhstan as the thing that isn't Mongolia between Russia and China.
There are several regulars of this general from that region, it's strange.
