/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/?

...

Alex Grandi died fighting in the 2nd English Civil War. His mod was taken up by his brother Roberto Grandi.

Where will Brits go then?

>tfw Aley was beheaded by servants of the London Caliphate

>brits want to kick out all the europeans, so they can import more pakis and nigerians

Sounds fun

>more
Citation?

both Nigel, David, the pensioners who want 3rd worlders to enable their pensions for low wages and young sjws said so on the various talk shows leading up to the referendum

Thinking of writing a "Breed" National Focus, how should I do that?

>chat

Lads an extremely important question

If you were to make an alt-history HOI4 mod, which country would you pick, and what would the backstory be?

Why is it no longer Fatimid?

That affects everyone. How can I create a event or national focus to give only my accepted/primary culture +growth? I know if I can do a simply population increase, but I want to do it as a +% growth

I just wouldn't play it at all.

I think some titles have specific rules when it comes to being named, even if you're one of the cultures/religions that typically are family named

You can't, growth modifiers always affect everyone

Germany, the year is 1920. Kaiser Friedrich III. just died and trouble is brewing in Europe.

>German Krakow
No matter how many times I see it, I still can't get behind it.

Best Deuschland though, except it has to not be socialist.

Where would the capital be? Hapsburg or Hohenzollern?

An alt-history mod with the following backstroy: parajew never made hoi4 and we are all still discussing darkest hour. This could be implemented by making the hoi4 exe open darkest hour

The USSR is a bigger threat and the Nazis manage to secure a Jewish Madagascar.

>DEUTSCHland
>capital ever not being Berlin or maybe Aachen
I want delusional austrians to leave.

This was the longest peace treaty I've ever had to do.

why do the mutes have such a fetish for us? Do they think we're hiding gold in our mountain halls?

>new mongol empire
what a shit game

Then we would be discussing Hoi3.

>British China
All that Opium

What would you name it?

the horse empire

It's my puppet. I didn't have anything to gain from actually annexing it.

Yeah, I never went to war in Europe and never let Japan into the Axis because they always drug my faction into shit wars in previous games, so Asia got dominated by the Allies.

It was the peaceful and nonthreatening rise of Nazi Germany.
My war against Russia was even defensive.

I'm not sure what to do now, declaring war on Europe would ruin my peaceful and nonthreatening streak.

>peaceful

A defensive war isn't peaceful, especially if it ends with total annexation lad

Guarantee some nations.

Wait, aren't the regions around the baikal lake tthe ones where all the oil is at? Why did you give that shit to the spaghetti-niggers?

you should go to class more often my young friend

>total annexation
Not quite.

Are you retarded? I'm talking about how it is in the game, I can't really recall it.

wew

...

>126 oil in Baku
Huh, didn't know that.

Not that I really need it.

Victoria 2 is quite light on PC, is CK2 like this as well?

Is Poland your ally? If not, conquer them and leave them with Slovakia

>1946 in war with USA as Japan
>Took half of the canada but americans swarmed in and I can t beat them because organisation of my troops is extremely low
Anybody knows how to increase organisation or decrease attrition? I know I have lots of troops crowded on small piece of land but I basically can´t move like this, Also america lost 900k of people already in this war. I lost only like 400k. (not just with america but against chinese and british as well). Does AI have cheats for unlimited population or they will run out of it eventually?

So you're indeed retarded? Got it.
Also I just checked and in the game, which is what we're talking about here, the area around the baikal lake has ~160 oil

How did you even get the resources to beat the Soviets without conquering anyone?

It's the fucking Caspian lake, you fucking uneducated moron.

>buildig synthetic oil plants in all your provinces

*Sea

The Axis consists of
>German Reich
>Russian Empire
>Falangist Poland
>Independent State of Croatia
>Tuvan Nationalist Republic
>New Mongol Empire
>Dictatorial Sinkiang
>Hungary
>Legionnaires Bulgaria
>North Sea Empire (Fascist Denmark)
>Norgesveldet (Fascist Norway)
>National Union of Greece
>Turkey
>Swiss Imperial Confederation
>Radikalna Yugoslavia
>Legionary Romania
>Italy

And never provoking Europe means I had no enemies other than Commintern, free to import from anyone I wanted, though I only really imported from my allied countries, especially once I got Turkey and their chromium.
Now that I own most of Russia I don't need any imports though.

I knew that of course

opinions vary

It's 1947. 10 million dead German soldiers. 2 million dead Netherlanders. Millions of dead Americans. 2 million dead Brits.

And the war isn't anywhere near over yet.

This is hell.

What's wrong with that?
I have no depency on foreign products at all, and it's only like 34 ish factory slots, I have 453 factories now, and still had over 200 before I conquered Russia.

Somebody teach me how to do naval/airdrop invasions, I really don't want to stop at Russia and the Allies are wrecking the Axis(I'm not at war with Allies).

I don't really know how to use the entire arrow stuff, I just create front lines and micro-manage everything.

Create a naval invasion order by selecting an army, clicking the naval invasion order, selecting a port, and then selecting a landing zone. You can select any provinces that all border the same sea zone. Ensure you capture at least one port, or your men will run out of supplies.

Naval invasion troubleshooting:
1. ensure that the invasion has finished preparing. When you mouse over the execute order button you'll see how many days remaining. This is not the same as the -20% division still preparing malus.
2. ensure you have naval superiority along the entire route

Have fun.

And airdrops?

What should my southern border look like?

1/2

Whats there to teach. Just press tha button and follow the tooltips.

Use the dedicated divisions to establish a beach head, ship in your army and crush them.

The best tio i can cone up with is to try to attack as many places as once with several small forces to imcrease the chances of breaktrough. Coordimate paratroopers to assist the naval landings.

No idea, never done one. They're almost always a bad idea.

How much value does Africa have? is in mineral and resource rich?

Already went too far, border at Caucause, maybe a vassal georgia/armenia south of that.

2/2

Huh

Just use the appropriate mapmode and see for yourself.

They're ridiculously powerful against the UK though, I managed to capitulate them in 3 weeks with about 15 paratroop divisions, they don't keep any divisions on the home isles.

...

When will there be a modern day gsg?

...

Just conquer the entirety of eurasia, you blobbing cunt.

I don't have the game.

I will probably buy it if africa is lucrative.

not at all

is this some weird attempt at shitposting?

Tippers toppers mate

...

Africa is very lucrative in V2, but you're going to have a hell of a time trying to exploit it as Africans.

No idea about EU4, though they added a huge amount of provinces to Africa for reasons.

Reminder Hearts of Panzers has been released.
