/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, June 3rd:

FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET

pls preorder hoi4

>new ck2 DD
Cool stuff, Noe this is more depth instead of just expanding the map OE the timeline

I want to remove the immigration penalties on absolute monarchies, how do?

Become a democracy

...

You do know that this stuff is all feasible right? I mean just look at what the Mongol empire, the Romans etc. did

You haven't even played the game yet so you can't criticise, or I guess you're just hopping in the Paradox hate bandwagon

Do you guys want EvW or a pre-charlemagne game more?

Personally I want to play as the greatest civilization of all time, the roman republic and it's a fucking shame just how many great civilizations and characters we will never play as

Is this the end of Paradox?

twitter.com/Steam_Spy/status/738463579112886272

That's not feasible at all

Why are those shitposting kids not permabanned yet?

They literally ruin this general. Might as well actually consider going to /paradoxplaza/ if this shit continues. It's literally impossible to discuss games here as you're constantly getting shitposted at

Mods, please, do your fucking job!

EvW, Roman shit has been done to death

Ban evading is trivial, thats what they do

Elections are far too bothersome, I want to lead a country without worrying about liberals and socialists, all the countries I play I turn into absolute monarchies, even America, but the immigration penalty is becoming as bothersome as voting, I only wish to remove them.

This will never happen because muh Muhammad

Become a constitutional monarchy then, all the benefits and none of the downsides

HPM should seriously consider this in his quest to make steel great again and reduce the iron shortage.
Also, the iron shortage problem is a vanilla thing IIRC, mostly due to those insanely high iron requirements to build/upgrade a factory.

I liked the EvW engine more than the time period
HOI with populations, Civilian buildings and Diplomacy
;_;

Or the result of China industrializing

If I preorder Hearts of Iron IV: Field Marshal Edition would you shut the fuck up?

Just the regular, historical western powers industrializing is enough to make iron's demand skyrocket with those building requirements.
Building factories with raw minerals (which is what iron is supposed to represent) makes no sense anyways.

It would be extremely disapointing

Maybe. Buy it then we'll know for sure.

You're a big viking!

>You will never recreate roman republic in ck2 since the only republic that is allowed is stupid fucking merchant dictatorship

>inb4 but it's not le historically accurate!1!!

Yeah and so isn't 99% of all the other shit that gets created

I made these portraits like two years ago-in hindsight they are a bit silly.

Still, pretty cute.

The fuck are you on about? It looks like complete garbage.

WtWSMS

Defeatism is treason

The North German Federation
The South German Federation
And Germany existing at the same time and its all fault of the brits

>The Lion King mod for Crusader Kings II

It's treason then, no way I'm playing that shit.

wtf is that

a conversion, some of the colors are fucked up but the AI works so its good for me

Governments that are more then one ruler are very difficult to model properly in CK2.

Conclave, despite being a shitty expansion actually offers the framework that could mimic it the closest with its council system. Would take a good amount of work on the modders front.

I scripted Odoacer's invasion, in the current version due to the way that his invasion works most titles that would make sense to reform a roman republic ( Aka the reskinned merchant republics in Italy ) lose their land after he invades.

A play through might be possible if you adjust Odoacer's CB so that it protects the vassals like it does the king of Dalmatia.

Made me chuckle.

Who's behind the liquor meme? Rob? Turkslayer?

hyped for modern day mod for hoi4

Just imagine

But with different names.

hyped for /gsg/ mod with holocaust focus for Germany

What holocaust?

What would that even do without POP mechanics

alt-history of course

more fuhrer mana
national unity

>cheating

hoi4 will be best game of century

Based Podcat

What century?

Shouldn't an Absolute/Limited Constitutional Monarchy Netherlands have orange on its flag?

all of them

Is there even manpower in hoi4? I'm watching quill's thing and there's no indication of it that I can see.

What is this?

dudestrength

Yes, there is. Some of the numbers up in the screen. But it seems that it's only a problem for minor nations, great powers can pretty much ignore it after selecting conscription laws.

...

youtube.com/watch?v=N1KvgtEnABY

After watching some of quill's shit I think I might actually get it. It looks f*n.

only 3 days 14 hours

Its the only thing thats got better since hoi3, its no longer an arbitrary number that you compare to other countries

Does /gsg/ improve your dancing skills?
youtube.com/watch?v=D8-r2Mlv0po

EvW esque wins by a hair for me. I just want a modern era game with pops so I can see just how many people die in nuclear hellfire. Is that so much to ask?
There's a bug at the moment where the roman republic converts to feudal after a day in game so for now not an option.
Why not just play the 480 start? The republic still exists but you're a vassal under Odoacer (after that shitty bug is fixed anyway)

t. ddrautist

Going to start a CK2: Geheimnisnacht game.
Give me a start and a goal. I can list some details, if it'll help you memes make a decision.

People who watch Arumba are like captured partizans digging their own mass-graves.

Reminder

What is this?

hoi4 leak when

hoi4 torrent when

High King Alrik(I think, Karaz Ankor) - wipe out green skin scum and reconquer the dwarven empire.

Do it for her.

HOLY FUCK HOI4 IS FIFTY FIVE GODDAMN BUCKS ON STEAM

BUYING IT RIGHT GODDAMN NOW.

>Paradox goes public
>gets bought out by chinks
>already full lockdown on all info

Wow, here I thought it was gonna be a downward slope over a year or so rather than an almost instant drop off a cliff.

Meme magic worked.

Don't insult Jake. He is best EU4 player ever, and his accent is pretty cute.

>Hoi4 gets EvW'd

Investors really ruin everything...

That's Everpeak, right?
Ufortunately, dorfs have some of the least work put into them right now, because no one on the code team likes them.

>americans in charge of aphrodisiac accents

We can only hope.

Yep, they're pretty bland though I still found them pretty fun.
How about that norscan colony in lustria? could go chaos if you want but just conquer in general

I am genuinely not looking forward to HoI4 in any way. It looks like cancer. Plus butthurt ledditors would be expedient.

Ah, a constant war against elves, orcs, and the jungle itself.
Might be fun. I'd also be able to praise it as per Hm.

reight

youtu.be/XPxqF7kmx_4

madman

Same. It looks like EU4.

rekt

Appearances can be deceiving.

How is that madman? This is literally universal

es·tranged
adjective
(of a person) no longer close or affectionate to someone; alienated.

Now it may be clear why I am on anti-depressants

This was while chat was telling him he was recruiting too many divisions in parallel and he didn't have enough infantry equipment. He read 'you're training too many' and then started yelling.

Why is Arumba so based?
Literally the best man in existance right now.

>Literally the best man in existance right now.
That's me.

t. domestic violence man

What about Trump, Farage, Putin, Assad and Wilders?

Guess he has to let off steam somehow after having a public meltdown over breaking up with his wife

t. arumba

Nothing compared to arumba

>wilders

Now this is autism.jpg

Who else belongs on that list?

Shenryyr

Le Pen
