How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, June 18th: 860 – Byzantine–Rus' War: A fleet of about 200 Rus' vessels sails into the Bosphorus and starts pillaging the suburbs of the Byzantine capital Constantinople. 1757 – Battle of Kolín between Prussian forces under Frederick the Great and an Austrian army under the command of Field Marshal Count Leopold Joseph von Daun in the Seven Years' War. 1815 – Napoleonic Wars: The Battle of Waterloo results in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte by the Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher forcing him to abdicate the throne of France for the second and last time. 1940 – "Finest Hour" speech by Winston Churchill.

This "meme about a meme getting old" is getting a bit old
Samuel Powell
Alright, can we put the memes aside for a moment and all agree that, for what it set out to do, HoI4 is a success? It gave us a WWII grandstrat free from all the archaic bullshit of Darkest Hour, and also much easier to get into then HoI3. Can anyone here honestly say they enjoy wasting an hour to fix their OoB every time they start a game of HoI3? Not to mention that, rather than needing to tediously micromanage industry like in other HoI games, HoI4's industry is both streamlined as well as more intuitive than the previous games. Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point? Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start? Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success. Sure, Mosley ruling Britain never could have happened in reality, but it's fun to have the ability to easily do so in video game form.
Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics. Of COURSE the game is different - HoI3 already exists, there would be no point to making the same game again! HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.

Alright anons, the previous poll is closed. The top five choices for starting location were Greece & the Balkans, The Levant & Euphrates Basin, Iberia, Italia, and the Baltic.
As with the start date poll, to ensure against skew we're going to have a brief run-off poll with these top choices included and only one vote allowed. This poll will only run for a few more hours.
Changes for 1.5 Bug fixes Fixed Illyrian Illinois Fixed broken Batavian decisions Fixed Batavian and Illyrian localisations Fixed archeology decisions and event crashing the game Fixed some CTD bugs Fixed wrong USA state cores

I noticed ai has problems with wars on few fronts, so they will juggle like 90% of their forces between all fronts. They push a bit then when they notice Poland is pushing on their other front they again move 90% of their forces to Poland.
Isaiah Thompson
look like you drove up the tension a lot which make poland join the Allies instantly and then Britain joins in and bomb the shit out of them

Jacob Taylor
boo hoo my nukes aren't OP
Jonathan Diaz
Because that's how much a civilian factory is worth but shouldn't you get to keep the rest of the resource if you don't use it all?
So, not Kaiserreich: Legacy of the weltkreig, Kaiserreich: What if Germany had won? The fuck? I blame the plebbitors for this

Thank you, Cobra. Thank you because I am joyful. Thank you because I am well. No matter how old I become, I shall never forget how we received Cobra two days ago. Centuries will pass, and the generations still to come will regard us as the happiest of mortals, as the most fortunate of men, because we lived in the century of centuries, because we were privileged to see Cobra, our inspired leader. Yes, and we regard ourselves as the happiest of mortals because we are the contemporaries of a man who never had an equal in world history.
The men of all ages will call on thy name, which is strong, beautiful, wise and marvelous. Thy name is engraven on every factory, every machine, every place on the earth, and in the hearts of all men.
Every time I have found myself in his presence I have been subjugated by his strength, his charm, his grandeur. I have experienced a great desire to sing, to cry out, to shout with joy and happiness. And now see me--me!--on the same platform where the Great Cobra shitposted a year ago. In what country, in what part of the world could such a thing happen?
And when the woman I love presents me with a child the first word it shall utter will be : Cobra.

How the fuck does maneuver warfare even work in HoI3? >give panzer corps a line through the enemy provinces >it breaks through and moves one province >1 tank div immediately keeps going and tries to attack the enemy in the next province on its own >the other 4 have 64h cooldown before the next attack even though I gave them the path beforehand

Alright, on account of the lack of new votes and the clear dominance of the Levant & Euphrates in the poll, I'm calling it now. I'll be playing there.
Tomorrow will be the poll on whether or not I should play as an existing character or a ruler designer character. Because there'll only be two options and it won't be a multi-choice poll, I won't have a run-off for it and it won't be 24 hours, just until a clear favorite stands out.
Blake Powell
Kinda, but not really. It's hard to decide tbqh. Blobbing in Asia isn't, but Australia and New Zealand isn't Asia, but they're kinda in Japans geographical sphere.
Option to manually puppet nations fucking when
