/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

We don't have an official steamgroup. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steamgroup, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it

Pictish Empire here.

It is a dark time for the Scottish. The past fifty years has been me fighting off Lollard Uprisings in my own fucking country. They just started their thirteenth uprising. But that's not the worst of it.

I lost Cornwall and Kent.

I'll get them back with ease, neither of them have a lot of men.

Then I'm turning my attention to Mercia, which has become a Lollard stronghold(the rulers are Lollard, the populace is Lollard, everyone is Lollard).

At least Byzantium looks like it's doing alright.

There's this

XDXDXDXD NICE MEME LAD I LMAOED XDXDXDXD

>Bohemia snaking it's way into Nordic lands

No way. The customizability will cause him to really pour his heart and soul into the game. When his son makes fun of them he will freak.

you missed out on the epic liquor war

you missed shitposting from discord groups 2 shitty dlc and that is pretty much it also pls buy stellaris

Arumba taking anti-depressants and losing it on twitter

It seems like the things required to create a tank are very expensive.

5x Corp 2x inf/2x h-towed
1x Corp 4x Gebirgsjager
1x Corp Light armor/Cav/Mot/Mot Sup

Building Heavy Fighters at the moment to stop the Luftwaffe from pounding my tender anus in the mountains.

There was Conclave for ck2, which was so shitty a lot of the features are going to be optional in the next patch

Atleast we were spamming good memes back then, lad. Now it's utter utter terror.

>when your liquor factories go out of business

>what is literal civil war

There's always leddit

>que son los fueros

Mainly a council system, different laws (gender equality, no more crown authority etc.), and shattered retreat.

The latter two, along with a few other things, will be optional next patch.

IMPORTANT POLL
strawpoll.me/2402911

PLEASE RESPOND

I CAN'T DECIDE FOR MYSELF SO /GSG/ WILL DECIDE FOR ME

kys

Seen as no one else is filling you in, I will.

So /gsg/ was being it's normal self, telling EU4 posters to uninstall.exe, upboating Vicky content, etcetera. But one kid got so upset at being told to uninstall he made a new group, discord, it's sort of like the steamgroup but it doesn't even have their infamy. So they decided the way they were going to make a name for themselves was pissing off the majority who like Vicky by calling it a liquor simulator (a play on liquor distilleries being the most consistentily profitable factories in the game). At first they received a lot of support from people who didn't know what discord were doing like EU4 players and people who did think Vicky's economy was too linear. But then they squandered their support by just shitting on the game entirely, saying only liquor is profitable, that people should stop playing it and that HPM is a faggot.

So now every few hours around a dozen posts will come through saying liquor this, liquor that, etcetera, but the thread just reports and ignores them now and they leave/are banned about 10 minutes after they start.

That's another meme. Somebody cross posted the image on HPM's pastebin and found it was also posted on Instagram or some shit, so now the discord faggots call HPM "Alex Grandi mod" because the name of the guy they claim is him, with no proof, is Alex Grandi.

It's all very autistic, but this is /gsg/.

What map mod? Looks really good like out of a textbook or something

How do i attract migrants apart from having good policies?

Hello MS paint autist!

Hello Discord lad!

Literally prove me wrong.

Theatrum Orbis Terrum.

It's one of the highest rated map mods on steam.

And yes, it is totally gorgeous.

Also, my gameplan for the next two centuries is:
>conquer the british isles
>Then conquer the Nordic lands
>then attempt to take on Umayyad on mainland europe

Any flaws in this plan, b0ss?

t. kojak

t. T

Once you finish with the Nordic countries ally with the Greeks if they are still around. Better to end the schism and fight the saracen together

who is Kojack?

I'm rather surprised they've held out. I'm glad for them. My aim is to take back Cornwall and Kent, then invade Mercia and slaughter the Lollards in their borders by the time 1000 AD comes 'round.

>autistically analyzing spontaneous memeage this much
wew lad

Another look at your screenshot makes me have to ask why you haven't taken all of Ireland yet?

t. T for Teen

>not being a meme specialist

I was saving them for later. I was more concerned with establishing England.

I'll get 'em after I do that, me-thinks. Not like they can get powerful. They're Irish, after all.

How do you get core spread events to happen in HPM? I know you need N&I, but there's some ruling party policy and cultural policy you need as well, right?

buy pls

t. Anglopro

>spontaneous

I choose to take that as a compliment. Partially because I don't know what it's supposed to mean.

Also, Scotland forever.

Liquortoria 2 revolves around liquor. Every pound in the game is generated by a liquor factory.
Literally prove me wrong, lad.

well considering pounds are actually generated by the gold...

t. ron "just gold standard my shit up familia" paul

Hoestly I dont give a shit wen someone tells me uninstall.exe.

Its when they dog my every post with shit like EU4 babby that it gets annoying. About as annoying as the liquor meme seems to me for V2 people. Why cant I just make my rounds through the games, each has its own appeal, and for as retarded as some parts of ck2 and eu4 are, I still enjoy playing them.

i'm not being a memer though

it's how new pounds are brought into the economy by converting precious metals.

> a fucking porcupine

I know you're meming and I shouldn't even be entertaining you because you're meming and that I'm literally autistic for doing so BUT:

He's being literal. In Vicky 2, the economy is totally closed. Only precious metal provinces and events actually create money, all other money present in the game is there from the start.

Took me a while/10
