Yo Sup Forums,

Work is sending me to Sweden for a few weeks. What does a dummy American that hasn't been to Europe in 10 years need to know?

don't forget to pack your anti rape bracelets

do your own research you won't be getting any advice here dumb ameridumb

I've been talking to out Swedish office off and on for a few months about the trip. But if that's how you really feel, I'll just walk around like I own the place.

See ya in a few weeks, buddy.

Don't embarrass yourself too much.

...

Don't come!

Be polite and follow the ten rules.

He might not know the ten rules.

The ten rules state:
You're not to think you are anything special.
You're not to think you are as good as we are.
You're not to think you are smarter than we are.
You're not to convince yourself that you are better than we are.
You're not to think you know more than we do.
You're not to think you are more important than we are.
You're not to think you are good at anything.
You're not to laugh at us.
You're not to think anyone cares about you.
You're not to think you can teach us anything.

>You're not to laugh at us.
But you're a joke

Smart estbro. I thought I'd have to spell it out to him.

It's more of a "don't laugh at the crowd, the crowd laughs at you"/mob mentality rule, than a "stop mocking me" type rule.

I was just shitposting desu mate

I would like to go to Europe actually. See the things. Is Sweden actually worth a look? I would like to go to Denmark hey

Oh it's great.

What is there to see or do in Sweden?

Just make sure you tell everyone that you're an american. You'll down un pussy

Where in Sweden?

Same things than in Finland but add a grain of arrogance to the populace. And their Saunas are shite to the max.

What is there to do in Finland though? I'm not too keen on heroin so idk really

>add a grain of arrogance
that's all city folk pekka, yours too
go somewhere bönde next time

More varied climate than in the surrounding countries for one. The weather, temperatures, topography and biomes overall in Denmark, Norway and to a lesser extent Finland is basically the same throughout each country. Not so in Sweden. Gothenburg, Stockholm, Umeå and Malmö are much more different from one another than cities equally far apart in Norway and Finland.

>I'm not too keen on heroin so idk really

I don't know either, we don't use drugs like you angloes and russians.

Nobody tourists to the countryside, Conny.

Hmm idk man Australia has a pretty diverse climate too. I have lived in both Darwin and Tasmania and its a big difference.

Got many castles and that sort of shit?

Aren't you all alco's

idk really man. Finland seems like it would be nice to live in for like a year. Get to know the place. Wander around a bit. Live the life. I mean Helsinki is just going to be like every other city in the world but the countryside would be nice.

>Got many castles and that sort of shit?
Apparently more than our neighbors according to this map.

One thing I like to do is visit our island gotland. It's called the island of one hundred churches. They're really packed tight there and are all really nicely designed by middle ages standards. But I haven't been to Italy so my standards of reference are probably quite low.

What goes on in Gotland?

I know that the queen of denmark gave up her title of queen of all the goths a while back for some reason

Language is deceitful there. The goths are from götaland. Gotland is home to the gutes. It's the chillest place in Sweden. Loads of old architecture, nice sand beaches, oldest city in Sweden, nice nature preserves, farmers putting up yard sales everywhere, great food producers.

Sounds comfy

So Goths are from Skane basically?

I was playing extended timeline in EU4 and it reckons that the Danes came from Sjelland and the tip of Sweden. Is there an actual reason that you don't make a nordic union or would it just end up with Sweden and Denmark jostling for position again?

>So Goths are from Skane basically?
That's where they settled down, atleast.

I always create Scandinavian empire in Victoria and ck 2. If it happened now then yeah, Swedish dominance would probably be the number one complaint. And if it were a federation with one vote for each country then Denmark and Norway would always agree and Sweden would be boxed out.

Why could the Danes and Swedish never get along?

You don't play EU4? Sweden is op in it it desu. Biased paradox. You're much better off just playing as Sweden for stronger ideas and events

Why would Norway and Denmark gang up? Like I get they were in a union for a long time but the Norwegians seem pretty cool with the Swedish.

Is there much regret about forcing Norway to be in a union in modern Sweden? It seems pretty unfair how that all went down. What I've heard was that the Danes had a navy that was the only good one apart from the British so the British just invaded and shelled the shit out of Copenhagen and burned all their ship and then after the war took Norway off them for """being on the other side"""

I've never gotten in to Eu4. I just don't get it.

Not necesarily gang up, they just have politics that are similar to one another and different from Sweden. It wouldn't be born out of malice, just political disagreement.

Any regret is for losing the union. The times when we controlled Finland and Norway are remembered fondly, if their remembered at all. And by taking Norway, which we had to pay Denmark a lot of money for, we helped them on their way to their eventual independence. It went ok. And it was a clever move by the king. He knew Napoleon personally and could tell he wouldn't win, so he sided with the British so we could reap the spoils of victory. And we couldn't very well stay neutral when Denmark-Norway had joined Napoleon.

>The times when we controlled Finland and Norway are remembered fondly

We're just told it's old history and anything else is delusional sentimentality. They say it's the same in sweden where people even wonder how we were one country ever to begin with.

Um there's some good videos on youtube for eu4. Definitely looking at the way combat works is a big thing. I went from 208 hours of CK2 to Eu4 and was so lost. I was fucking around a lot playing as Japan etc. Then had a bit of a kang about as Denmark, this was in an old patch where denmark was actually hard. Its piss easy now. That being said I had no idea what I was doing and even though I took all of the baltic and the British isles I declared war on Poland with Austria and France as my allys and Poland 1v3'd us all and fucked me. Ruined my game.

I'd say I started to actually know what I was doing 100 hours in but now I like it quite a lot more than ck2 so hey.

Did Denmark-Norway actually join Napoleon though? Like send him troops?

Wouldn't Norway be more comfy with Denmark? Some sort of dual crown deal? idk there's some Icelandic guy who's always triggered as fuck about the Danes. Apparently they were pretty shitty overlords

Liquoria 2 is superior though. I can't stand Eu4 with all the DLC they keep pummping in it without ever fixing anythign lest just adding more retarded mechanics.

It is. Larping as your country from 200 years ago is retarded. Sweden Norway and Finland are neighbouring independant nations and that's what all sane people want to remain true.

Eh Victoria looks dumb.

Dude nazis lmao

I am actually salty as fuck atm to be fair though. Bought el dorado for the custom nation maker. Going to make a ghost nation with an immortal 6/6/6 and like 2000 points of ideas. Got confused because the guy I was watching use the exploit on youtube had Rights of man and had 800 points to make the nation so just bought that. Turns out its just a thing in options. Dumb... So then I try to make ghost nation and it crashes every fucking time and the few times its worked my """immortal""" has fucking died before they could be kang

$30 for fucking wasting 2 hours of my life in fucking options menus.

Fucking paradox

I've no doubt I'll try to get into eu4 some time in the future. Right now I prefer to have some room for roleplaying to latch onto to have fun. I've found it in Ck2, Stellaris, HOI4 and Victoria 2. Maybe I'll find it in eu4, and if not I can work around it.

If Sweden hadn't interfered Norway would have left Denmark the same way Iceland did. It was never gonna last.

Lmao, just like pirate the dlc. don't give paradox any money...

Australia can't do that.

Eh its a bit different in Eu4 because you're basically a dynasty not a person. Its changed in rights of man somewhat but you don't really have control of how your rulers turn out. They're basically just point generators until rights of man and now they earn a few traits

The PU system is really cool though. Can basically own other countries and they put out far more than the value of the land in men and stuff. Its.. kinda a gamble though because a human will always control armies more intelligently

Yeah its kinda soured me on them a little. CA just turned into a fucking nightmare though hey so I kinda wanted to support someone making good games. But yeah with some of the things you basically NEED dlc to have as mechanics its getting a bit tiresome

We can actually. There's been a few new tricks like pirate bay being banned by the courts. But its still not illegal to pirate stuff

>not wanting to support the only people who make good games

just off yourself

So how long have you been working at paradox?

But in all seriousness I think I have paid less than $150 for about 423 hours of gaming. Pretty reasonable I'd say

They are only good in theory. It takes an average of about 5 years for them to be patched up and modded enough not to be pieces of crap in reality.

>Wanting to support the extreme jews who play poor and excuse the extravagant ridicolous dlc policy by being "small"

>>>>>>>>r/paradoxplaza/

>muh shekels

You are all jews in denial

Hey you fat fuck, when's v3 coming out?

I've paid for way too many Paradox games these past 10 years. The funny thing is almost none of them have been worth it. I'm still on Hearts of Iron 2 + expansions which is still the overall best.

no money = no v3

I've given you money though.

When will ck3 come out? The last dlc was an insult

It's turned into shitskin galore

You might want to make sure your credit card will be working

No.
Right.
You should.
