/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/?

i bet he has 5 kongolese slaves to make threads for him 24/7

This so much

steamgroup please get the fuck out

epic

Nothing beats getting 5% warscore for a battle with more than 75,000 soldiers.
I know it's because I'm defending against the entire Islamic world.

If you're the Jap Navy dude from the last flag, I'm sure you can get a normal version of that flag of the net. Though I don't know what normal flags are made of, maybe some sort of cotton mix

Just convert to sunni

Why would I do that?

>he isn't a fascist revolutionary

Because it's the best religion

WTF i hate johan now

>not shia

>inb4 that mouthbreather starts the whole fascism debate again

yeah I fucked up the quote

I'm looking at flags right now and almost all of the real antique ones are the red dot on white with inscriptions or the one I want but really tiny

And they're all 100+ sheckels

I think the synthetic will do until I graduate desu

>Incapable of a successful uprising

>not being anarcho-capitalist

>HE WAS A CONSOLE OF ROME

Imagine... a perfect world.

My goal for this game is creating the best world to live in for the white man. Step one is creating a Gross Germaniums through diplomacy, because focuses = free land. Step two is avoiding WW2, obviously. Step three is dismantling the USSR peacefully. Step four is colonizing China.

Maybe try pressing it with heavy books then. If the folds aren't too bad that might solve the problem. Also remember to get a matching headband.

Don't trust the brits.
Remember, you can't spell "allies" without "lies"

>34 % world tension
Getting all the way to Fate of Greece may be hard now

You mean they're... All lies?

Wasn't planning to go for Greece. I like my roughly square Germany.

Well it's the same way post-war Polish borders were just shifted to the west, along with the entire populations.

Remember, you must unite ALL the germanic people under one banner. Anschluss soon fellow Greeks.

It looks more like a reichtangle.

>Greeks
>Germanic

It would be wrong to force our brothers in Greece into a union that they don't desire.

Democracy is the right of all white people.

Better to focus on creating some overseas territories in China.

Ja baby let's do this thing.

how did you get danzig without the allies throwing a fit

Danzig for Slovakia.

You have to complete the Fate of Czechoslovakia with total annexation, then you trade Slovakia for Danzig.

Are they honorary Anglos?

>the Germanic warrior peoples in a European alliance led by the cunning Britons
It's like the EU done right
At last I truly see
The Germans should be a warrior caste in a greater European society rather than leading themselves to destruction as they always do

>He fell for the democracy meme

Dump a list of good Germanic names for EU IV colonies.

>WW2 never happened, British empire and Raj still exist
>China has been crushed by decades of colonial management, the yellow menace will be forever quashed by Africa-tier mismanagement
>Japan will still be our yellow brothers because WW1.5 still happens between Allies and Japan
>Cold War happens with a vastly reduced USSR - it's both less drastic, and shorter.
What we do, we do for the world entire.

Just do it like the people who make anime, look at a map of Germany, zoom in here and there and pick shit that sounds neat

Translating random words also works, in Legend of the Galactic heroes there's a system and man named "pocket change" and his daughter is called "four"

woops wrong pic

>not taking Carniola

how do i get rid of socialist niggers in my liquor simulator

In the last thread, people were giving me names like 'Auschwitz', and 'Belzec'.
Yes. I named colonies after these.

nice

>take
We don't "take" from our European brothers, user.

>Soviets in Brussels
Je ne comprends pas/Ik begrijp het niet.

>tfw your only African colony is named 'Treblinka'

then you should rightfully obtain it, by force

Post Brazil pls

No no, thatś not how you say that. You should claim to protect their interest from foreign opressors by establishing a protectorate.


Hello Cobra

Playing as Iran with persian rising mod in hoi4
Appearently my people are worth 10 times more than the usual infidel but I have way more casualties than everyone in any war.
Currently at war with Iraq, 31k persian casulaties and 7k Iraqi.
Is this because I have shit equipment? I still haven't produced enough submachine guns so there's that
what do

I posted this in the last thread as well, but it was early as fuck and I doubt most people saw it:

I've effectively just beaten B&W, which was what was holding me up on beginning the AAR. I've got some final quests to do and some more areas to explore, but after that I should be starting immediately. Even if I start by Friday (which isn't inconceivable) I might not be posting until Sunday/Monday, though, as I want to get at least a decade or two in before I start posting, just to make sure I don't get immediately steamrolled by a Jihad and lose the game. I won't rule out losing the game in the course of the AAR, but if I do lose I'd ideally like to last at least a century first.

Anyway, in other good news, my planned trip in July has been unexpectedly shifted back to August. That means I should have plenty of time to do the AAR without significant interruptions.

Also, because an user asked me in the last thread, I'm going to be trying to play at around the same time I did the Napoleon AAR, from about 1:00 EST to about 7:30 EST every day. That's subject to change, of course, but it's what I'll be shooting for.

Apply yourself a little more

>not using even the flimsiest claims and justifications to establish protectorates and Reichskommissariate everywhere
Up your Reichgame, lad.

I don't know what that is

Sounds about right. I wonder if they still know what exactly they're doing themselves.

I'm assuming it's Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Well I just checked and the DLC-only pack in the archive only goes up to dlc64.zip, but according to the wiki, south indian portraits is dlc65.zip. Do you mind uploading that one up somewhere?

>be vic 2 player
>don't touch ck2 because of le casual leddit game meem
>bored of building liquor factories one day
>boot up ck2
>play it all night
Holy shit, there's so many mechanics in this game that are both complex and interactive with the player, unlike vic 2's "conquer warri, encourage bureaucrats, build liquor factories" every single fucking game. How will I ever go back to vic 2 after this?

are you a spambot?

wtf i hate johan now

You'll pretty quickly learn all the tricks to CK2. Then you'll be back in the same boat.

By recognizing they are different games attempting to simulate different time frames and conditions.

I wish I was able to discover GS for the first time again.

things that make you go hmm...

How did you discover them for the first time user?

wtf i hate johan now

Some faggots shitposting about how complex and superior pdox games were over on twcenter

How do I annex/puppet in HOI3 with HPP if I'm playing as Italy? The only casus belly I can seem to use are "concede defeat", "cut down to size" and "force ideology".
