/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

Reminder these are the people trying to get stellaris here.

So, when HoI4 comes out is the OP gonna start with "Reminder that Stellaris discussion doesn't go here" and every other post gonna be "HoI4 isn't gsg"

Jesus fuck you guys are faglords.

It's pretty swell, Johan, I just hope you're going to make lots of DLC.

Where can I request Victoria 2 flags? I tried to make one but it comes out pixellated and jagged.

Stellaris is the bridge to gap /gsg/ and /civ4xg/.

We will merge and become one, our flesh will be your flesh!

SO IT IS SAID

Why does this general breed such militant autists?

Don't worry we'll have plenty of DLC.

You see what we did is we made the game Stellaris with 30 times the content it currently has, then stripped it all out to make 30 $29,99 DLC packages which we will release every 2-3 months, and the best thing is the go- customers won't even suspect it!

It's like printing money!

This is correct

This is wrong

I need some help, /gsg/. I've been fighting Space Amoebas all day long and they give up some really nice debris, which I promptly analyzed and got 2 rare technologies out of it, Red Crystal Capacitors and Regenerative Hull Tissue. The problem is: I finished the technology, but it keeps showing up in my researches and I can't pick it anymore (as they are finished). Is this a bug or I have to do something to finish the research? I think the bug is caused by the fact I didn't spend any time researching it and got it 100% only by analyzing debris. Is there some way around it?

>any paradox """grand"""" """strategy""" """"game""""
>hardcore

Are paracucks really this delusional?

New player here. Should I play CK II with DLC first or go in vanilla`?

Any last tips?

>TM

good night sweet prince /gsg/

pls buy stellaris
pls buy stellaris

PLS

BUY IT PLS

DLC and disable Sunset Invasion for the love of Johan

Play with all the DLCs, except sunset invasion. Maybe turn off conclave too.

Play a count in ireland and unite ireland into a single kingdom. After you did this you basically learned the game.

>taking the Creator's name in vain
Heretic!

I bet you didn't even buy stellaris you fucking casual!

I think it should clear out of your research log next time you complete any research in that category. It'll sit there at 100%, but once you complete something and it refreshes it'll clear them out.

Or it should, I got regenerative hull tissue the same way and it cleared itself out eventually.

MEMES

It makes sense, thanks!

Memes are sacred here, leave you fucking cucklad.

reminder that these are the people complaining about Stellaris

Sunset invasion is good tho since it actually makes the new world interesting if you convert to EU4

We've entered a more subconcious stage of the Second /gsg/ Civil War. It is still obvious shit/bait posting but it has taken a different form

@141821548
Stellaris is a Grand Strategy Game and it belongs here.

i can't fin dthe stellaris general. why is space flat?

nice meme

Lads, what's the difference between Bohemia-Moravia and the Czech republic? Across pretty much all games, especially Vicky. Both have Czech primary and no accepted. I'd have thought Bohemia was like a German puppet or something? But it doesn't even have German accepted.

I've never played vicky 2 before. what's a good goal for Mexico?

>football manager is 4x?

Hmm?

This, its better to have a stellaris thread for a while, but as time goes on the discussion should drift here

Survive

Mexico might be a tall order for a first playthrough, but I'd try holding onto Texas and taking western United States, or blobbing into Central and South America.

Give me one good reason you're playing Stellaris instead of Distant Worlds.

>football manager
Are you the lad who keeps spamming that one never mind the buzzcocks webm?

Because it is better.

it's better duh

Wish me luck

EU4 is actually good now after half a dozen DLCs.

the what

You've opened Pandora's box laddie

>Not having fun with megacampaign

Non-autists out plz

It isn't though.

I can't find the good version but basically tumblr related.

>not being an actual autist and hating EU4, HOI4, and Stellaris for being 4x games
FUCK OUT LADDY GET OUT WAG MAH WILLAHIE

Uninstall

Time to start up the war machine. Both of us are xenophobes, but Im materialistic so... That -1000. Ive got destroyers and hes probably at cruisers(inferior tech) so it wont be hard. But his fleet is double my strength according to the thing so...

Got drowned out by shitposters, pls reply.

By putting the step stellaris notice in
OP, discord ensures it is posted even more

Reminder falseflag is their calling card

>Falling for post 2014 memes

I hate normal people who roleplay as autists, it hurts my real autistic feelings

Guys, how can I destroy my own space stations in stellaris? I can't figure it out for some reason.

I created these memes

We have won the war lad

I think there is an option on the bottom left when you're selecting it.

>try to discuss cultures in eu4 on reddit
>half of the comments were ebin "race doesn't exist" shit that has nothing to do with culture
>the other half are just backwards retarded shit like "Basques should be Spanish and Romanians should be Hungarian but muh fucking sloves should exist
>all these retarded comments getting upvoted

I suppose you reap what you sow.

click it, ship with x, disband

Football Manager series are probably harder than any Paradoxian game, except HoI3 and DH.

t. accrington stanley pro

HOI3 and DH are a joke compared to HOI4, HOI4 is the best game ever created by Paradox.

Never played it, just named the lowest team I can think of.

>implying you'd need bombs to do damage from space

stopped reading there desu senpai

Mercia is under Pictish control, and the extermination of heathens in that god-forsaken Lollard stronghold is under way.

The kingdom of England has been formed with me as its king.

The Ummayyids are collapsing 'neath their own weight and fracturing into smaller realms whilst the Slavs grow more and more powerful. The Greeks are doing well too.

Now, I must secure the inheritance of both kingdoms fall to my son, because I still haven't bothered getting rid of Elective Monarchy.

So far, so good. What next?

1.17 for PlebU4 is out, lads. Who should I blob as? Thinking Britain for ebin gross indiums or Muscovy for ebin gross russiums as they're the only two empires I can reasonably blob as without going past their historical peaks.

>try to discuss cultures in eu4 on reddit
Don't

Why is /gsg/ so full of redditards? I don't think in any general do I see reddit getting mentioned this much as I do here.

>tfw you realise america is the most casual country in /gsg/
FTFY

How bout you fucking stay there instead of coming here to complain about it?

t. slovene pro

Stellaris is relatively good, because Johann had nothing to do with its development.

what happened to another 7 years?

Slovaks existing before the 1700s is my favorite meme
