/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

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

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

I agree

okay lads i am bored out of my mind and do not want to sleep all day

give me ideas for a gs to play? goals, etc included if you want. anything but hoi please.

one of the first five replies will decide, and maybe i'll post progress.

>unironically being a virgin

build liquor factories

HOY'd that for you :^)

Just download the one from the pastebin and delete the decision folder, it will be fine

When the mod was made the new governments didn't really affect the game, but with events and decisions tied to a certain gov. type for certain countries it screws it up, like the ottoman dynasty getting overthrown and going apeshit because some shitter in the libyan desert decided to get infected

>playing any HoI beyond HoI2

You've got no place calling anyone else a shitter user.

>hoi2
>not shit

who is pushing this meme?

Reposting from last thread:

Alright anons, it's time to vote on the start date of the CK2 AAR.

First, if you haven't seen it before or need a refresher, here's a general overview of the start dates which are up for selection and some background about what makes them interesting:

imgur.com/a/cfxnT
imgur.com/a/cfxnT

REMEMBER: once again, this has nothing to do with who I'll play as. The Anarchy could be the chosen start date and I could play some tribal chief in Finland; this is only about what the historical background of the world I'll be playing in will be like.

I've allowed multiple poll choices this time around, so you can vote for however many start dates you're interested in, in case your first or second choice don't pan out in the end.

I'll let this go for about 24 hours before I finalize my decision, so everyone should have time to see it:

This is what playing /gsg/ games does to a man.

Why not just buy the game?

Do infantry (specialists/experts) give bonus only to footsoldiers, or motorized/mechanized as well?

Where's my Romanium mod???

I invited the heir of a county(from another realm) to my court and made him my vassal he was still set to inherit but then after a few mounths he was no longer the heir and his brother was. Any reason for this?

I love not being able to move into my ally's territory

because it's shit

Hey lad, I lost the original portraits I had for Kaas and the german gommunist, do you still have them?

so is piracy

>upload for us piratefaggots

But its already in the archive:
mega.nz/#F!xwpEVLKI!CmxIJhMLDKnyCBK7VwYdWw!UkJlSSDR

U

Why even play it?

also where is the mod file located?

2185 start xDDD

[X]Agree [ ]Respectfully disagree [ ]Helpful

>because it's shit

Then why are you playing it?

Why not 867/769?

.dds versions of all my portraits are on a mega folder here:

mega.nz/#F!oEFHEDbA!U4mGYvA4t6pNwn1sX7W5zg

I forgot to add Kaas to that, I'll add him now

We /meme/ now

Better take the rest of Canada you fag

inside the .zip file. No idea why its duplicated.

>vanilla

>"""dismantle""" NGF
>this is all that happens

It creates incredibly unrealistic end world where Byzantium/the Karlings usually dominate piecemeal, it would necessitate a massive investment in time and autism on my part, and my game would slow to a crawl. 1066 is even far more time than I'd like to spend, but a lot of people called for it so I included it. My preferred start is 1186.

...

They only lost Silesia, Hamburg and Bremen?

Deleted the folder but it still crashes at creating rivers, fuck.

>Empire of Madagascan Islands
Good meme good meme

They lost Silesia and Schleswig. Hamburg and Bremen were already independent for some reason
I also gained cores on Konigsberg, but I had already conquered that earlier

you're a disgusting faggot you know that

S

>cores on Konigsberg
bravo HPM

Semester island for the africans.

What do you think lads, can this pass as a HoI4 portrait?

Anyone?

>4:3 resolution

WHAT YEAR IS THIS?

>vanilla

So what happens to the nation focus trees if i were to go democratic as the USSR? Do i just lose all my events and shit or what.

It's not a problem with the mod then, it might be HPM, but I doubt that, sorry lad, you might need to redownload HPM

Looks good lad but you should use a soft low-opacity pink brush to add some more colour to his cheeks, nose, lips and bottom eyelids.

Who is the portrait of? If you like, I could have a shot at him?

Because fuck you that's why.

could be a problem with his v2 too

You got it reversed it's supposed to be African America

kys

wtf I hate Johan now

>believable worlds

Podcat is based.

The weird thing is that the German minors still have their cores, so I don't know why they didn't get released

A

because I won't buy it until it's been fixed

Yeah, its fucking shit, dont do it. It really gimps your country.

...

Portrait user, could you rework Plínio Salgado's portrait? He's the fascist leader of Integralist Brazil.

Its Slavko Kvaternik, a croatian Field marshal
and thanks for the tip, it actually looks better with the pink brush
You did some other portraits? wasnt around for some time, and noticed only that there is a cosmetic hoi4 mod so started making my own

Thank you for the follow.

FUCKING SPAMFILTER

I found one of HPM's lectures

youtube.com/watch?v=frFLiLqzBv8

I'm not affiliated with any one mod yet, I just make them for people who request them, and they usually end up in /gsg/ fixes or Misc Campaign Guy's mod.

I'll start on Slavko now.

Sure, I could work on that afterwards lad.

YEAH

Reinstalling HPM didn't work so I verified V2 files on steam and now I can't even launch HPM on its own.

dude cool blob how do I get this good??

What's your vanilla checksum?

when saving the portrait, as what dds format should i save
when saving as the regular DXT3 format it says that the pic has to be a multyple of 4

To HPM or anyone with a lot of free time to waste or an interest in modding/debugging.

This is my savefile as Persia. Due to a bug in Victoria 2, a state that I conquered in Afghanistan has remained a slave state. However, even though there is a 30-50% Persian/Hazar population, I cannot get any accepted bureaucrats. The only ones who promote are Pashtun ones, which results in a 0% administration. HPM has ackowledged the problem so far, but he doesn't face the same bug as me.

Here's the file. mega.nz/#fm/5I40jALB (28MB)

Rate my factories lads

I would just reinstall vic2, it seems like there is a problem that doesn't have to do with the mods

You deleted the decisions folder in the apocalypse MOD, right?

just make some battle plans bro

>not using Pop Demand Mod which fixes and balances a lot of the economy making it more complex and satisfying!

XD

His voice is pretty weird

and what national focuses do you get instead?

But that's a man, HPM is a girl and lives in europe

JDTM

Yes, I did.

I don't know what format Paradox use but I save as palette RBG with 256 colours.
