I'm fascinated the "Folk Islamic" exists as a separate religion. Islam in places so uncivilized that you can't meaningfully categorize it theologically?

Aside from Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan, and the other mountainous tribal areas its practiced in?

Africa. A lot of the interior, especially in the 19th century setting, would probably have folk Islam instead of actual Islam.

I was being rhetorical, but yes. And Africa still has fucked up folk Islam in the interior, mixing Islam with African ooga-booga sorcery. "I don't need to aim, this divine charm from the local imam will have Allah guide my bullets for me."

In EU4 Fetishism aka African paganism can unlock Islam as "deity"

Honestly folk Islam is a silly category. Not because it's necessarily wrong, but because it would simply be better to have a folk variant for any organized religion subsaharans and their diaspora interact with.

Yes and it is pretty realistic. Doing a Fetishist run where you get all the possible cults is quite fun.

How the FUCK do people enjoy Hoi 4? I played 3 campaigns and either you research the right stuff and totally win or you try to have fun and roleplay and loose. At least with eu4/5 you can get creative with how you play. What a waste of money, my God. I'm serious, please someone tell me the appeal of that game.

Just play Hearts of Iron 2: Darkest Hour. Conquering France with historical casualties feels like an achievement, especially with Edge of Darkness or TRP mods installed.

I like the idea of fighting over guano islands in the pacific.

I expected the final episode of the MegaCampaign. I got advanced HoI4 shitposting instead. The ESL on focuses and events only adds to the quality. It even has a dogshit UI.

Also it is/was easiest pdx to get into. Everyone has atleast rough idea what is WW2 . And most of mechanics were not difficult to understand. I am not sure how true is that anymore. With all busy work pdx introduced like MIOs and various designers

Its a real shame Vicky 3 doesn't have that. One of my biggest complaints is how quickly you pushed towards industrial nitrogen synthesis due to a severe lack of natural sources for it like manure, guano, or mineral deposits when IRL that shit didn't happen until the early 1900's.

It can be said that the mod developer doesn't have a firm grasp on the English language but their passion in the project cannot be denied.

QqqqqqqqI saw EU5 and looks like the Portugal color change from Victoria 3 is sticking. Given all the autists that play these games I'm surprised that didn't cause a pepper spray incident.

its not as Iconic as Yellow Prussia.

The early navies in particular should require having sulphur and coal to represent how thirsty these ships are for gunpowder.

Sounds like the Nation of Islam.

Explosives already take chemicals and sulfur to produce, chemicals being an abstraction for nitrogen/potassium compounds.
