>no Darkest Hour in the infopic
Fuck off with these steamgroup threads

What?

what's the secret of blitzkrieg in HOI4?

Should I make a lot of infantry armies and send them to hold the front, and then other armies that are composed solelly of armor and mobile infantry and send them to break through the line? and lots of CAS?

No you need armor, fast armor.

This.

Ooooooooooo say can you seeeeeee

Can any of you lads gift me the old gods for ck2 while it's still on sale?

what mod

Sure, post your steam id.

no but you can kys you leeching dreg

Just pirate it wtf

remember to join the official steam group over at steamcommunity.com/groups/grandstrategygeneral for weekly giveaways and daily multiplayer games

>Over 500 hours in eu4 and ck2
>Don't understand how to play hoi4

Having to build and micro actual armies confuses me.

...

>hoi4
>micro anything

Turkeys on the wrong side there lad

>people still post this image without knowing what happens

I usually avoid this general because of the memelords, but why does no one like blobbing?

Is it not historically accurate? Because Imperial Rome was like blob central.

Also, what is preferred opposite of blobbing? having tiny slices of land scattered about the world, none of them connecting to one another(ie, border gore)?

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

>micro

m8 you draw some lines, hit go, and let the game do the work

A country that hasn't blobbed has taken over land that the country would logically take in such a way that the borders are aesthetically pleasing

EU4

Civil war in my neighbor. Do I wait for it to finish and drain their manpower or invade during it so he can't defend?

This is historically accurate.

can you email it?

Anything that is disadvantageous to your enemy, is an advantage for you.

Strike when they show you their soft belly, and be sure to pierce it good.

quit reading Art of Bore by sun faggot, redditro

now get the fuck out of my website

:^)

>Conservative party believe in Interventionism
fug

Is that peace deal enough ? It seem no one will get back from this for a long time, and all the major powers will become fascist.

Britain has been fascist for a long time already and I as France went fascist 10y ago after a random coup so I went with it for fun.

>not taking Tsargrad

What are you, a cuck?

No

Yes it is.

that's not even from Art of War, you faggot.

>Poland and the anglosphere escape
Im not sure what to think or feel.

Is that a free SGF?

It's pretty often coming to win the battle fast and with no halt than to move faster with tanks, I think breaking through the lines is more important than closing the encirclement faster

is it from a anime

its a dlc

Art of War is a book by Sun Tzu(Wu).

it's pretty much "common sense: the book" and "Deceit is the ultimate weapon: the book"

>Doesn't want jacobin up in my butt
>Let liberals do what they want
>Lessaiz-faire happens
fuckkkkkkkkkk

Retard here. How do I use the Vicky 2 tools?

Are light tanks better than medium in HOI4?

so what do you lads think of hoi4?

Light tank is only good for stomping AI with no AT

Light tanks move fast. Don't upgrade your light tank divisions. If you need to hit harder, duplicate the template, and make separate medium tank divisions.

>from 1836 to 1900 slavophile/octobrists (interventionists) in power, from 1900 on kadets (laissez-faire) in power

Loving the lazy fairy meme

Soon, Riga will be mine.

Aha, there you are

In terms of vassalizing Schweden, I'd prioritize Norway over the swedes.

Don't forget about the Slovaks.

Codreanu

Should I remove the eternal DLC maker?

Give it to Norway.

its good

Yeah, I never let Germany form and they were at time allies, at times enemies. There they were with me and the Union of Britain in the Great War against Rus and the NGF.

This is ~1 year after the Great War.

>give it to Norwegen
Alas, Norwegen is allied with Danemark. It will be a huge naval war.

So, you're saying that I should vassalize Norway, then go to war with Sweden, and make them gib back Norway clay?

>Slovaks
Where? Slovakia is preussischer clay.

Should I give it back to Greece?

I got it from my puppet after releasing Albania to take the decision to incorporate them.

Yes. You can use them to make a Scandinavian vassal if you want

how can we make the HOI4 AI produce anti tank shit so they aren't so bad?

someone make a mod NAU

Alrighty. I'm cooking up a CB against Norwegen. I'll vassalize them, then immediately begin removing Johan.

Post yfw the Mecklemburg dynasty rules over Prussia, France, Tuscany, Scotland, and Ferrara.

>paradox fucked up the only thing which satisfies my autism
>go back to hoi3
>can't enjoy it because there's no equipment and no hoi4 division template
>literally have nothing to do with my time anymore
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?

How do I bring it up?

Also, how do I encourage soldiers faster?

laissez-faire seems good when you have a shit ton of regions to develop i guess

suicide bomb paradox hq

Get clergy/intellectuals up to 4% in each state. 2% is for max research points, 4% is for max literacy growth. Also make sure you've got good admin. efficiency in each state. If it's really low, POPs won't promote/will only promote slowly. Also research the middle column in culture, at least to Biologism for that sweet, sweet Darwinism +50% education efficiency.

pay up education
research education
get 2% intellectual, up to 4%
without literacy, your country gonna stay a shithole forever

>literacy as low as some african nations

play steeloria 2

I only feed mine the best in canned heads of wheat, whole fish and whole cattle

I was holding off going to war with czechia for berlin because of their alliance with mainz (the south german gp), but now that the poles are at war with both it's a good time for me to strike
also check my bureaucrats

In Vicky 2, why does the US insist on sphering every East Asian/Middle Eastern country it can?
Is there any way to stop this retardation?

conquer them

if they don't exist they can't sphere

Where do I look in order to edit who can be cardinals in the Catholic church? i.e. make an orthodox patriarch a cardinal

somebody fucking say something

jews did 9/11

answer my question

I DONT KNOW

America wants dat oil.

mainz is going to slip from gp and then I'll do an add to sphere cb
and then sphereing the rest of the cunts is easy

Hey faggots, how long will it take to assassinate someone in CK2 with a plot power of 58%?

A while

maybe this is good enough

you know I was doing this to meme around and didn't expect good results but I guess the liquor+bureaucrats strategy indeed does unironically work
I'm producing a fuckton of liquor, more than just the pic shows, and it's all very profitable

Finally the end.
Peace did not last long in eastern Europe as newly created states waged war against each other.
Fascist Russia fell from from GP and never recovered in 6 years. Britain stopped being fascist.
And I went to war after a political outrage against Canada and liberated most French-speaking provinces from their grasp and released Québec as a satellite.

Fun game.

forgot pic

Except you've built things other than liquor factories, so you're not even meming anymore, you're just powergaming.

Yeah no shit building the most profitable factory in the game in every state is a good idea, that's why it's a meme in the first place you dip.

>Peace did not last long in eastern Europe as newly created states waged war against each other

that's why you should have sphered and puppeted all of them

I didn't build those, the capitalists did.

maybe you're right though, perhaps I should close them...

Didn't have time in 1.5y (~4y of war cooldown after the end of the Great War in 1930) to puppet anyone in east Europe.
I sphered a good portion of them but those allied to Italy, Britain and Sweden started shiting the place up.

Only thing I regret is not having time to dismantle the Ottomans, it's just a disgrace, especially since they were socialists since the end of the previous century.

What is the easiest start in ck 2?

any king, emperor
or just uninstall.exe

should I make heavy tank divisions, or are they not worth it?
