/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, 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

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, May 13th:
1787 – Captain Arthur Phillip leaves Portsmouth, England, with eleven ships full of convicts (the "First Fleet") to establish a penal colony in Australia.
1848 – First performance of Finland's national anthem.
1940 – World War II: Germany's conquest of France begins as the German army crosses the Meuse. Winston Churchill makes his "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" speech to the House of Commons.
1948 – Arab–Israeli War: The Kfar Etzion massacre is committed by Arab irregulars, the day before the declaration of independence of the state of Israel on May 14.

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Reminder to report and ignore victoria 2.

My vast civilian workforce of 751k craftsmen

Thanks

>autism OP

Holy shit report and ignore autist confirmed the anti stellaris sperg

1st for OP will never stop the reddit normie stellaris invasion

Just listening to a hoi4 trailer and they all fucking say "hoy 4" instead of "aytch oh eye 4"

I seriously hope you guys don't do that

OP here I made a mistake. Stellaris is allowed here.

IT'S PRONOUNCED JIFF

You mean proper OP, of course

poi 4

what the fuck is going on /stelg/ it is actual fucking reddit in there. Where is the radical yugoslavian and his band of autists. We need to nuke that place asap

when is the next HPM slated to be released, do you think?

Time for normalfags to go to bed. Pissed I didn't get to finish this campaign today. Will conclude tomorrow.

KINGDOM OF SHU
SHU
H
U

Probably a month

It's to keep the reddit cancer out of here till normies forget about stellaris so it can come back here

Here is shitty Europe.

Stellaris is never coming back, it's an integral part of civ4x

You got time to correct it.

>First performance of Finland's national anthem
youtube.com/watch?v=x4zm9L4rIGw starts playing

Shu?

more like Shoo, get out

Feeling like something different in Vicky 2. Should I release Congress Poland as Russia and play as them or should I play as Austria and do something different?

If poland took galicia-lodomeria it wouldn't be so bad

I think I'm going to break up Austria-Hungary. I'd really like to break up Russia too for the memes.

Would Stellaris have been better if it had a proper pop system like Vic II? The game is just so horribly bad right now.

Congress Poland

Most of /gsg/ wants it here. A minority like me want it to be banned till the hype dies down and 5 autists want it banned for good

[citation needed]

>Tuva is pronounced as Tihva with cyrillic spelling
I don't know why they spell it Tывa instead of Tyвa. The latter makes far more sense pronunciation wise.

And if the buildings weren't EUIV tier. Actual factories and a pop system would help. Don't worry, they're just $14.99 and an untold number of months away.

Will do.

It's what all the polls said lad

>inb4 you make a poll
Pretty much everyone here left for /stelg/ after the great spergout which is why /gsg/ has been dead for the past 3 days. The poll wouldn't reflect shit.

This isn't the first time /gsg/ hit a schism. We'll be right as rain soon enough.

So absolutely no source but your own word about the existence of polls we don't even know if they were rigged, what they said or were they were posted aka no you pulled out of your ass

I tried to do congress Poland once and I wasn't able to accomplish anything. Good luck, be sure to post updates.

*posts stellaris ITT*

>I don't know why they spell it Tывa instead of Tyвa
Figured it out. Apparently it's actually pronounced Tiva, but the West pronounces it Tuva for whatever reason.

I'm not gonna go find the poll for your lazy ass but one night when tensions were really hot stellaris got 80% yes votes in a poll with 130 votes even when /twg/ was trying to rig it to say no.

Also /stelg/ being fast as hell and us being extremely dead is proof the majority wanted it here.

Will I regret buying Stellaris, /gsg/?

>but one night when tensions were really hot stellaris got 80% yes votes in a poll with 130 votes even when /twg/ was trying to rig it to say no.
Yes of course user, I value your unbiased word on this very much
I firmly believe in your word and your 13 persons poll

>Also /stelg/ being fast as hell and us being extremely dead is proof the majority wanted it here.
No, it's proof the majority don't want it here
Otherwise they would be posting it here

This. Look at what happened to ck2. The eu3 and Vicky autists held out for months but eventually ck2 became accepted because they couldn't stop the will of the majority which was even smaller than the stellaris majority.

They were till autists got so butthurt they spammed wrong thread.

You should've seen release day. It was nothing but stellaris posts here. Regulars and ledditfags alike just got tired of autists spamming wrong thread so they left

poal.me/96bgv3

poal.me/i7g9wt

That never happened here
CK2 didn't have any resistance and at the time victoria wasn't even popular

HOLY SHIT BTFO

strawpoll.me/10156744/r
strawpoll.me/10157956/r

Don't really remember which it was but I'm absolutely sure autists freaked out about either ck2 or sengoku and so did many other people in the last thread

>butthurt autist stops replying after these are posted

This might be the most epic BTFO I've ever seen on this general someone cap this shit

All the polls show clearly signs of rigging, are not related to the topic or have a minority of votes

It's pretty obvious there's an autist, or group of, dedicated to force stellaris here

fuck off samefag

include me in the r/Veeky Forums post

>poll doesn't agree with me
>AH ITS RIGGED
Keep in mind all this shit was going on while /twg/ admitted publicly to rigging polls to say no and yes still won

Get owned faggot

>two (You)s
thanks user

Only one of those (you)s are mine

Fuck off samefag

There's huge traffic in /stelg/. If anyone wanted it here it would be here
Just accept not all paradox games are grand strategy and deal with it
Or are you going to threathen to sue me?

Edit: thanks for the (You), stranger!

Thanks for the (You)

The fact that you keep talking the same and sperging out about some random shitposter from 3 days ago is proof that you might even be just one person

I already got your argument
You are "the majority", everyone who disagrees with you "is one person"

Did you ever think that the reason everyone left was because they were annoyed at your autistic rambling?

List everything that's shit about Stellaris so far, and why it should definitely not be allowed to stain this general.

>horrible pop system, a colony's population will only grow if there's a free tile
>fucking ridiculous arbitrary colony limit (5-7), it makes absolutely no sense whatsover and just sounds like a shoddy measure implemented to slow down blobbing somewhat
>can't build a planetary admistration in a planet until you have 5 pops, and you can't relocate any of your old pops to a new colony until you have that building, yet more arbitrary bullshit
>unless you have the purge policy active, any colony that starts with pre-sentient races is going to fuck your game over because they don't count for the planetary administration building requirements
>no economy whatsoever, no freight trade, nothing but energy and minerals mana
>every single civilization is apparently using a planned economy system where ONLY the government is allowed to build industries and even gets authority to relocate their workers to other workplaces within the colony at will, but then a specific policy is required to move them to other colonies (???)
>multi-colony space empires can start 3 systems next to you by default, and conveniently have similar levels of tech than you, yet more unrealistic bullshit
>system survey and research projects are annoying as hell, can't even be automated properly (despite that there's an automation option to start with)
>shitty dumb EU-tier missions all the time
>most tech trees are utter shit, only society is worthwhile

tl;dr: non-realistic arbitrary manafest

This is not gsg, it's pure garbage made for normie redditors. It's worse than Distant Worlds in almost any aspect, and that wasn't even a good game to start with.

Will I regret building liquor factories_

I think there is more than 1 anti stellaris dude but one autist aka you is obsessed with stellaris while ironically hating it

It's kinda ironic your arguments you know
"The majority wants it here" and "everyone left"
If everyone left, you aren't the majroty. Consequentially, the majority doesn't want it here, stellaris players just want to post their games in their own general

Which is what will happen in the future
The archive will not have stellaris, people will keep stellaris in the 4x general

All the polls show who the majority is. I'm not even in the majority, I'm in the minority that wanted stellaris contained till the hype was gone. Your an extreme minority who wants it banned forever.

The majority wanted it here and posted it here till wrong thread autists scared them away and shit up the thread till it was impossible to actually have a discussion about video games in it. Your side literally just kicked and screamed till everyone left because discussion became impossible.

15 people isn't the majority in a thread that just last thread had 160 posters
I don't know who voted in it, where it was posted and how and if it was rigged

You people are obviously doing that, since you are threatening legal action against our archive over the game. After shit like that, rigging polls is a cake walk

In my experience crying "I'm the majority do what I want" is usually done by people who actually don't have the majority


Well your claimed majority was kicked out by an extreme minority? Not only that seems highly unlikely, it also makes this whole conversation moot. If the majority was scared away, you yourself admitted you aren't the majority. They aren't here, everyone left

So you aren't the majority, you are the minority
Everyone left

Release day here was nothing but stellaris. Then a few autismos spammed the thread till it was unusable so both redditors and most native gsgers left

All that is left is people browsing two threads, people who never cared about stellaris and a few autists paranoid stellaris might come back

I can always tell who the report and ignore autist is by his perfect use of grammar except for a lack of periods.

t. detective inspector l. distillery

Ok so you aren't the majority, you had a lot of people interested in stellaris who actually didn't care if it was posted here or another general
Those people didn't want stellaris here, they just wanted to talk about it somewhere

Just got Vicky 2. Any suggested first country for a newfag?

Prussia, USA, France, Netherlands, Portugal

Portugal is fun.

Where were you when a 6.3/10 game brutally murdered this general?

Did you at least get the expansions? Vanilla vicky 2 a shit.

This general is in its best shape in years
If only a few people stop whining and taking the bait, it would be even better

Only sore losers scream rigged poll. The evidence for that is on you. The majority did want it as proved by the polls.

Yes. Spamming the thread till it becomes unusable will make everyone leave. The new majority is people who never gave a shit about the whole autismfest in the first place. You're still a minority.

>Where were you when a 6.3/10 game brutally murdered this general?
Which time?

...

They were talking about it here till you made the thread unusable during your autism spasm. They will probably be back too when the thread inevitably dies.

What a pathetic general, people don't even discuss games here

have all the expansions, i'll start looking for good mods

>coming to gsg for the game discussion
Kek might as well go to reddit for that gay shit

The funny thing is that the side of "yes" was the one who screamed rigged poll more

>everyone who wanted it here left
>but you the other people are still the minority

This is rather pointless, not sure what I expected

I suppose only time will tell

Basically you aren't the majority. You were but you lost
I defend you never were the majority. 15 people in polls, which probably where rigged by the same people who want to take down the archive, isn't the majority
The majority didn't give a fuck about where to talk about the game, they just wanted to talk about it

Don't mod until you've actually played through the game a few times. Vanilla HoD is just fine where it is. Once you've picked up the game, grab HPM in the OP.

I am starting to get the suspicion that he is the report and ignore autist since he always makes his thread first and report and ignore shitposting is always usually the first post in his threads.

Also the autism freak outs are very similar. They both get very butthurt when they don't get their way.

>I'm losing ahh it's rigged
Funny thing is the only people that were actually proven to rig polls was the anti stellaris side but pro stellaris still won

>replying to steamgroup shitters post /stelg/
lads..

DELETE THIS

>proven
Oh boy
If your proofs are like your "majority" of 15 people then I know where this is going

I think it's more likely the people who rig polls are the same ones who threaten to lawsuits and taking down the archive over it not accepting the OP than people who obviously got what they want: stellaris and /gsg/ separated

Read this.

I can't wait for the steamgroup 's long and detailed critique of this guide.

>Liquor distillery

You don't even need to be part of the steamgroup to know that the guide is a lot of hot air. Really, getting a good economy is as simple as building factories in proper RGO provinces, ensuring you're at max bureaucrats, encouraging clerks to increase throughput, making sure to invest in foreign countries and letting the AI go from there. It's not difficult to get over 6k industrial score as the big industrial players. It's not difficult to be that much farther behind as the other major countries.

...

I do like this planet.

>hey look guys, I conquered Warri, put my taxes and tariffs to 100%, and allied the biggest possible power near me, am I a good player yet???
>fuck off min maxer
>lol ur just salty u cant conquer teh world as krakau!!!

Why are redditors so insidious?
