Johan has the arbitrary trait
[QUOTE=Zovox;46854130]OOOOOoooh, is it still being developed?
There was an update not too long ago if i remember right
it added genocides and something else which I cant recall[/QUOTE]
A legit Nazi got the support of the money laundering former mod leader, took the ModDB page and tried doing the mod himself even though he had no modding experience, the team (which I had rejoined for a short while) dissipated in response and I don't know of any actual dev since then.
I don't know why but I'm suddenly getting bored of eu4. There's no unique [sp]aka meme[/sp] nations that I haven't played already.
Afghanistan, invade/colonize America

Extended Timeline, play as ISIS, form global caliphate.
kebab is fucking OP in CK2
ridiculous how they join all of each others wars and I can take one or two nations but I can't handle a 20k man deficit

You can do that in ET? I thought it just showed up as Abbasid/Osroene

Seems like with every update it pushes the "Present Day" bookmark up to what ever day it is.

No, they show up as Islamic State. I played as them a few days ago by loading up a game as Iraq, accepting their demands, saving and reloading as Islamic State. I managed to fully conquer Iraq, part of Syria, all of Jordan and half of Saudi Arabia before an alliance of Turkey and Israel took me down.
I'm going to do a hands-off mega campaign (CKII - HOI3) for shits and giggles
What years should I benchmark/add to legacy?
[B]Edit:[/B]
I decided to go by the decade. So without further ado:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZJ3CzMX.jpg[/IMG]
[B]1070[/B]
The only interesting happening is that France, Sweden, Scotland, and Norway have all gone apeshit and attacked one another.
Scotland is somehow winning against Norway, and the Byzantine Empire is crushing the Seleucids in the south.
[B]1080[/B]
[I]First half of the decade report:[/I]
Byzantium gets into huge ass civil war over crown authority
French civil war kicked off for similar reasons
Scotland kicked Norway's ass and relieved them of territory
England is in the middle of an especially vicious civil war
Moldovian independence
Leon wrecking Castille
Ryazan attempting to annex Kiev Rus
Byzantine civil war ends with the rebels the victors
Greater Cumania forms through much violence in the east, they fail to annex Bulgaria
[I]Second Half:[/I]
Moldovian rebels win the war, but the leader is a sellout and settles for counthood of Tirgoviste
The king of England dies, leaving his daughter and her regeant in charge and soon thereafter the civil war ends.
Novgorod forms (or at least becomes relevant)
New king set for England, and immediately following the duke of York declares civil war like a twat
Genoa admitted into the HRE
France puts an end to the incursion and the leaders of the revolution are put to death
The king of Ryazan gives up trying to annex all his neighbors

In every ET before the 1.9 update they showed up as abbasid.
Also Israel is a weak country in ET, don't know if they changed that in 1.9 but I was able to conquer them as Palestine in 1.7.3 and in 1.8

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
I'm having a lot of fun playing as Sicily in CK2. I've avoided expanding beyond the dejure borders (with the exception of conquering Venice), and it's been really surprising how entertaining it's been.
I had Jerusalem for a while after winning a crusade, but I had to give it up after the Knights Hospitaller and Templar kept getting pissy at me. I granted the kingdom to the KH and left it at that.
One thing that is pretty weird, though, is that I only have three duke level vassals beneath me, and two of them are republics, so I'm well over the cap for counties held by vassal republics.
Who would you guys consider to be closest ethnically to the Huns? I was thinking the Bolghar peoples. I want to be a new Hunnic empire.

Magyars, of course. Old Gods start date, defeat Bulgaria and then create [B]Hun[/B]gary, gain close to 100,000 troops and the tribal invasion casus belli. Boom.
Now, all in the span of a single ruler's lifetime, conquer all lands with any slavic culture group. Expand from there on into Tartaria. That's a challenge for you.

How the fuck did they control southern Sweden?
Another map [t]http://www.worldhistorymaps.info/images/Huns_450ad.jpg[/t]
Would be loads more fun to recreate than just forming tartaria, tbh

nothing like banging your friend's wife and eventually his mom in multiplayer :v:
Huns =/= Magyars
Both Turkic/Altaic people coming west from north of Caspian, but Magyars are a lot later than Atilla's Empire. Both settled on the Hungarian Plains since it suits such nomadic people.
[editline]9th January 2015[/editline]
Volga and Danube Bulgars are of the same descent too, also are Qipchaks and Cumans.
[editline]9th January 2015[/editline]
You can see that 2-ruler system in both Turkic/Hunnic Empire of Central Asia and Atilla and Bleda's Empire in Europe.
Magyars and Bulgas are really close too. Huns are kinda closer to other Northern Caspian Turkic people, since they are more of Altaic while huns and bulgars are Uralic.

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]The exonym "Hungarian" is thought to be derived from Ugor or the Bulgar-Turkic On-Ogur (meaning "ten" Ogurs),[22] which was the name of the Utigur Bulgar tribal confederacy that ruled the eastern parts of Hungary after the Avars. Although, written sources called Magyarok "Hungarians" prior to the conquest of the Carpathian Basin (in 837 "Ungri" mentioned by Georgius Monachus, in 862 "Ungri" by Annales Bertiniani, in 881 "Ungari" by the Annales ex Annalibus Iuvavensibus) when they still lived on the steppes of Eastern Europe eastward from the Carpathians. The Hungarians probably belonged to the Onogur tribal alliance, and it is possible that they became its ethnic majority.[22] In the Early Middle Ages the Hungarians had many different names, such as "Ungherese" (in Italian) or "Ungar" (in German) or "Hungarus".[23] The "H-" prefix is an addition in Medieval Latin.

I suppose they were a part of that ten tribes' confederacy and later became dominant.
Does unreformed pagan religions still turn into animist/shamanist/totemist when converting to EU4?
And does the CK2 ingame converter work properly yet?
Is there any reliable method of gaining casus belli against native american tribes playing as a native american tribe in the beginning of the game? Creating claims isn't available as a tribe. (EU4)
[QUOTE=Deng;46886375]How the fuck did they control southern Sweden?[/QUOTE]
the Schengen Agreement
jokes aside, even I'm amazed that they got that far into Europe
Having invested my entire day in an ironman Viking game only to get arbitrarily fucked over by the AI I can safely say the salt is real.
