"Nahua pope leads successful crusade against Aztecs" is really poetic

That's the problem with Buddhism. You try to get rid of it, and it just comes back in another form.

Until you eliminate suffering, craving, and ending, then somebody, somewhere, will inevitably and independently rediscover the Path.

I will also attend. Thank you for your visit.

ByzLP, also known as Blood in the Bosporus, will be back, probably before the end of the month.



Not gonna lie, I completely lost faith.

This also goes to show just how much of a bastard HOI is compared to the other parts of a Paradox LP.

By my count, going from "last post in previous game to first post in new game,"

CK => EU
3 Months

EU => Vicky

HOI4 wasn't released until June 2016. Then several personal matters intervened, and the mod wasn't really started until mid to late 2017. And we all (on the very small mod team!) have our own responsibilities, jobs, school, families, health, etc....

Oh I don't want to sound accusatory or anything, and I'm well aware that many intensive projects wind up with spiralling pushbacks if they start getting knocked off course because of, as mentioned, having a life. I'm just using this to indirectly measure how much more demanding the mod process is for HOI.

Though you're right that it's not really fair given that HOI4 wasn't even out yet in 2015.

edit 2: germany is sunni now

I like the Rub il Hizb. I made one that's kind of inspired by the Olympic Flag germany used and feels pretty modern. Not quite sure about how the colors match up - should I shrink the Rub il Hizb to be just inside the red to avoid the white-on-yellow violation?



And this one is a bit more like the older HRE flags but feels a little hyper-simple

Paradox games and especially EU are really over friendly to blobby centralized states in a way that makes poor history even if it makes for more satisfying gameplay, so just making breaking up more likely isn't even good for Tibet storytelling it's just "good for EU."

Forget this archaic and unprovenanced term of 'Latins': can't we all just go back to calling it by its archaeologically recognised name, the Red Jugs culture?

when referring to this specific period the more precise but still common term is "ten-men," for their habit of adorning things with the Chinese numeral for ten, including often a small man in what is either some form of ancestor worship or perhaps a primitive fylgja.

Looking at it, it looks similar to Mons Meg or Dulle Griet style bombards, which is a large range (6T to 16T). So these folks can fireman carry about a ton.
