How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, May 8th: 453 BC – Spring and Autumn period: The house of Zhao defeats the house of Zhi, ending the Battle of Jinyang, a military conflict between the elite families of the State of Jin. 1794 – Branded a traitor during the Reign of Terror by revolutionists, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who was also a tax collector with the Ferme Générale, is tried, convicted, and guillotined all on the same day in Paris. 1942 – World War II: The Battle of the Kerch Peninsula: The German 11th Army begins Operation Trappenjagd (Bustard Hunt) and destroys the bridgehead of the three Soviet Armies (44th, 47th, and 51st) defending the Kerch Peninsula, in the eastern part of the Crimea.
I keep trying to play CK2 with friends and they have checksum YZAZ whereas I have ABAV. None of us have mods, so why is the checksum different?

Repostan
Bulgaria has suffered over the last century. A hard won independence and territorial expansion was reversed by the perfidious Russians, and Prince Alexander, and the House of Battenberg with him, was replaced with a member of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Prince Ferdinand II. Now, by getting cozy with their German allies, Bulgaria has expanded once again and Ferdinand has been crowned Tsar of Bulgaria. The year is 1936, and Bulgaria's neighbors are eyeing her rightful land with jealousy, rumours abound of their plans to create a pact to invade. The period ahead will be rocky, and only Tsar Ferdinand's autistic savant advisors of /gsg/ can guide him through these turbulent times.
Holy shit Ferdinand was a madman: Ferdinand was known for being quite a character. On a visit to German Emperor Wilhelm II, his second cousin once removed, in 1909, Ferdinand was leaning out of a window of the New Palace in Potsdam when the Emperor came up behind him and slapped him on the bottom. Ferdinand was affronted by the gesture and the Emperor apologised. Ferdinand however exacted his revenge by awarding a valuable arms contract he had intended to give to the Krupp's factory in Essen to French arms manufacturer Schneider-Creusot.[6] Another incident occurred on his journey to the funeral of his second cousin, British King Edward VII in 1910. A tussle broke out over where his private railway carriage would be positioned in relation to the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The Archduke won out, having his carriage positioned directly behind the engine. Ferdinand's was placed directly behind. Realising the dining car of the train was behind his own carriage, Ferdinand obtained his revenge on the Archduke by refusing him entry through his own carriage to the dining car.

How do I get into Paradox games? I've played a lot of Total War and Nobunaga's Ambition, but I basically just learned everything by fucking around in menus for those games. Anyway, those games have gotten kinda boring because I know the games back to front.
When I start up CK2 though, I have absolutely no idea where to begin. How did you all get started with grand strategies? Any recommended tutorials or just an explanation on what the fuck everything is?
James Cruz
I watched playthroughs on youtube.

EU4 is far more easier to get into and play and just blob in every direction.
CK2 has an awkward start depending on where you are. Try learning with an Irish minor or something and fabricate claims on neighbors and learn the basic mechanics before trying to manipulate your way into inheriting every throne. Play on 5x speed is shit isn't moving along with fabricate RNG. Or maybe you already have casus bellis to declare and conquer nearby Irish lords.

I've seen France try to defend Egypt against UK, Prussia and Ottomans.
They got their ass handed to them and further got ruined by rebels, but they tried their hardest.

You're the one acting like it's a natural law that a game that fits all criteria shouldn't be here.
Sorry, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't belong.

Xenos means disgusting aliens waiting for their technology to be stolen by us and then use it to exterminate them and take their planets, lad.

And I'm saying that it's irrelevant if the OP is a shitposter or not. Stellaris is a grand strategy game, all the shitposting in the world doesn't change that.

>Seven crashes later Bulgaria, Act I, Episode I: Black Monday
The abdicated Tsar Ferdinand has made headlines today after complaining to the Prime Minister that his pensions are unbecoming of a man of his stature. Prime Minister Filov, however, maintains that Ferdinand cannot receive a higher pension as Bulgaria has been struck by the effects of Black Monday, and is spiraling into a crippling depression. It is up to Czar Boris III to decide on the matter, and he has been mulling over his options all day.
>Support Ferdinand, Bulgaria will honour it's heroes or >Support Filov, Ferdinand demands too much!
what you are saying is that we shouldn't respect the general rules and post whatever we want in any thread
Joshua Lee
Fuck dad, support Filov.

Maybe back when it came out, but we're what, 7 major expansions in? Pretty much every significant patch has added difficulty or complexity to the game because Paradox was tired of seeing germanyblob games posted to their forums.
