/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

I want to become friend with podcat.

I hope HOI4 will be a success just for him.

But I'm affraid it will be shit.

That's why I care about his feelings.

The furthest east I'm willing to go is Thrace/Memezantium. It would be nice to simulate the Genovese colonies in Crimea but I'm very reluctant to start adding Hordes into the mix because it just opens up a whole can of worms. That said, the new map expansion will cove part of the future Russian Empire, and they will be added as a tag.
I'll rename the area, the reason it was named that in the first place was because the Areas represent the Provinces of vanilla. I'll probably just rename and reposition Mannheim into Heidelberg because the latter makes more sense as the province capital
As far as I am aware it is impossible to expand the map height past 2048 pixels. Maybe I'm wrong about this and previous CTDs were caused by something else (map modding is a crash-heavy business) but if not, I'm afraid Scandinavia won't be added. I'm going to look into it now

give link m8

Literally white. Pretty fucked up.

there were no orthodox provinces in the hre?

>Switzerland offers alliance
>They break it seconds after because they're neutral

You should make it so the province sweden starts in isn't part of the HRE, like hungary. They become a prince now. Also, I realise you can't help it, but the religious league war makes your mod unplayable for me, a single month takes like 10 minutes to get through because of calculations.

Probably the heartiest wew I've had in a while

pls donate

...

gonna be shit.

bls or I'll have to go back to Scotland

What? Noooooooooo
It's a great mod anyhow, thanks for making it

>implying we raid
you must be thinking of the other discord group, lad

wew indeed. link so i can flame that retard

Is HPM here?

here, What do you need?

I need you to donate to my patreon.com/DDRJake

Ebin memes lads

Hey lads, just made an event chain relating to the large Yankee population in Ohio and Detroit. Riot event happens due to some Native American guy getting shot by a white man. If the Confederation does nothing about it, the riots spread and either the USA or NEN intervene and take the region back based on the choices they choose. So if you're a person playing the Illinois Confederation, it's better to stop the riots

Can you nerf liquor already?

FORTY POUNDS
WWWWEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW

no, liquor memes are ebin

I dare you faggot

I also decided to have the British Empire not intervene in this case because a good amount of Yankee pops will die in the area. Can't really support a country killing off a good amount of people

That fucking border.

I nerfed liquor in my custom HPM version along with other economical changes, you should do the same.

Switzerland keeps offering me alliance just to dissolve it the next day, what the fuck

That you Napopan modder?

you traitor :^(

You don't like the West Virginia border user? I fucking hate it too

Yeah

that is an extremely misleading photograph

I'll fix that Sweden bug in the event
And yeah I have the same problem with League Wars being unplayable too, I think I saw someone on Steam say they had to literally console out of the war because it was so slow.
I'm not really sure how to fix this aside from removing leagues altogether, unless I can find some defines that let you restrict who can join a league

>join the discord group
>no link

what a fag

dead general
dead genre

The Stellaris separatists RUINED this general. Reunification when?

>play as comfy Mexico
>ally with USA and live in peace and prosperity
>some major war in Europe, involving UK against France
>France gets demolished but UK also loses most of its brigades
>USA jumps on UK, invades and occupies Great Britain, also gets into war against Russia
>meanwhile, communists take power in weakened France
>UK and Russia actually lose against USA
>commie revolutions, now UK, Russia, France and UK are communist
>USA is weakened and I just invented gas, so attack them
>literally gas 200 brigades, USA so weak even Canada decided to attack
>while my troops are busy in USA, communists rebel in my territory
>didn't bother to build forts
>before I can get back troops they already occupy capital and enforce
>I am commie now
>peace out with USA
>communist revolution in USA as well, successful
>5 out of 8 GPs are red
jesus christ, what have I done

is there any dlc that after the end doesn't work with?
mine is crashing

If I I've only played CK2, EU4, and Vic2 who should I play as first in Darkest Hour? Game looks pretty fun and I want to try Kaiserreich and Fallout Doomsday.

Russia in Kaiserreich

Never

Better dead than 4X, you fucking twat

Germany (if regular WW2 campaign)
Austria (if Kaiserreich)

Regular game is better to learn the game itself, since a lot of what happens in Kaiserreich is event driven and thus kind of unpredictable (like getting free troops, sudden declarations of war, countries flipping alliances and such).

Thanks. If I play Germany is Sealion feasible in the first game?

Yes, but as a beginner it should probably be the first or the last thing to do, don't leave it in the middle. My first tactics was creating a "space program" of militia (also known as stacking thousands of divisions). It works 50% of the times you try it.

more than feasible, just make sure to take out gommies fast and jump on the isles before burgers decide to make it their vacation spot

Yeah but amphibious assaults are for the birds.

>want to get into ck2
>always end up just masturbating because of the whole concubine, taking prisoners, choosing your wives options

>not playing as a christian

there's your problem

it's

>crusader
>kings
>ii

not

>muslim
>caliphs
>ii

How do you use the DLC activator for CK2?

embrace your inner degenerate

play pagan norse, kidnap the wife of the basilius, the caliph, and the most powerful catholic King at the time. Make them all concubines. Enjoy.

i know, but picking a wife and putting people in prison still gets be very horny

I think you have to use your hands to click the mouse...

put it in your ck2 directory and double click

If this were expanded to all of Europe it'd be a cool Thirty Years War version of MotE

The dickheads in the stellaris general don't even answer on questions. Fucking twats.

>Because she is your prisoner, she cannot refuse.

There should be plenty of porn mods for CK2 on loverslab

Fucking spics ruined the official discord chat group

everyone gave up on that game until they fix it with DLC

Let's get this party started.

What's wrong with it?

Gameplay is very shallow and repetetive, one playthrough is enough to get bored of the game.

>that flag

How fucking terrible

Oh boy time for Industrialisation!

I'll be sure to complain to the Politburo once I get out of the gulag user!

I started a Victoria 2 game as the USA for the first time because I want to play the civil war

It's 1845 and I must've had over a million rebels already, most of them New England Patriots but some reactionaries as well

What the fuck is going on

pls preorder hoi4

What mod is this?

Unironically just did

I did too. It will be awesome (I hope)

The Greek Workers will deal with the pain of Industrialisation for the greater good.

My own mod dear user. New decisions, events and more importantly new fun.

DDRJake and Arumba are best Grand Strategy players. Prove me wrong.

Marco Antonio is better than both but isn't as enjoyable to listen to or watch

Can I get sum help with ck2? My unreformed pagan became feudal how?

>not iSorrows

mods?

it is simple:reform

Meh I think the aircraft changes will help the AI not be so game ruining ineffective at using planes like I'm hoi3

iSorrows is great youtuber (+1 karma) how choud have i forgoten him.

>Undertale "trash" literally kys

I meant my unreformed vassal became feudal somehow. Nobody has reformed the faith. And you need to be reformed pagan to adopt feudalism.

Well that didn't take long. Greece must help free our Spanish brothers from the dual evils of Capitalism and Fascism!

they could just have made the AI unable to set single province orders for aircraft instead, it's not that fucking hard.

also i replied to the wrong post earlier

>unironically using "kys"
an hero

And give the player an advance over the by allowing them to hammer certain provinces and break through?

Making a good AI is a funny one, some things that seem simple really aren't

Isn't Arumba the guy who put his 4 year old mulatto child in a washing machine because he told him stellaris wasn't a grand strategy game?

THIS AIN'T A PRANCE, IT'S A GERMAN WAR DANCE!

What will the chafemints for hoi4 be

...

WIGGLE YOUR WILLIES XDXDXD

That's funny. The BDSM mod has made a few changes that ironically makes it less historical accurate in its attempt to make it more accurate.

HPM only

Still getting them

It must have something to do with all these events for con/mil, I'm probably supposed to pick the other option or something, but holy shit

Also the mexican-american war is a pure nightmare when Spain allied Mexico. Their provinces are worth no fucking warscore.

does marco antonio ever talk in his vids?
