/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.

What cultures should I nonviolently stamp out in V2?

Was thinking of doing a UK game where I attempt to turn as much land British as I can, but aside from islands I'm not sure where I should be spreading myself.

India's probably not feasible.

thank you based steamgroup spy

America, retake the 13 colonies and repopulate them with loyal Brits to outbreed the Yanks. I reccomend using the classic "shut down all the factories in the motherland to force immigration meme."

Yucatan desu.

That land is wasted on the Hispanic.

just make sure the irish do not exist anymore

everything else is irrelevant

Yanks are probably one of the hardest to eliminate, alongside their cousins the Germans, because of high population, good literacy and starting industry bases.

Should be doable but it's probably going to take a fair bit of work.


If I crush them I can't use their starting unemployment to get extra factories up for better emigration numbers down the line.


Should I bother trying to fill Asian colonies or just focus on crushing the New World?

Lad what are you on about the soil of Mexico yearns for Anglo-Saxon plows

Just focus on the New World, I would say even go as far as releasing your other colonies. That's also likely better for them in the long run, independent Australia and New Zealand will have tons more immigrants than as colonies, and Australia especially can easily become a secondary power as your dominion. South Africa, if you release that later, can also easily become a secondary power. Hold onto Canada though, keep the New World under your firm grasp.

I think I'll hand my African ports and islands to France, take France's New World holdings, release the Indians as a bunch of useless satellites, give the Malays to the Dutch and give South Africa to Natalia.

Australia and New Zealand would probably end up stronger as satellites, but they're still technically part of the New World and New Zealand gets British cores.

Let me know if you run into any bugs.

how do i set taxes in HPM?

Soon I will promote from craftsman to bureaucrat and will never go hungry for cement again

fuck off Johan
drinkbleach.exe

Based

please

Same way as in vanilla

please men

but when i try to get them i have low tax efficency how to fix it?

only happens in HPM not vanilla!

Get techs that give you tax efficiency
Vanilla also has tax efficiency

What are you on about

So research tax techs. Making money should be hard without pissing off your populace

Is there anyway to have elected fascists or communist in HPM seize control and establish a dictatorship?

Yes, elect them, then have high militancy

In HPM, taxing too much makes your pops bankrupt, and they lose their ability to work, and their income vanishes.

remember to turn off ai historical focus for non-shit germany

>new IP
He just said he doesn't have a lot of efficiency, so he can't bankrupt his pops.

No pops will lose the ability to work if they are poor. They only lose their job if the place isn't profitable, which is unrelated to how much money you tax your people.

Making money without bankrupting your people historically was very difficult. You can have a good economy in hpm, but it isn't handed to you

Nothing he says make sense, people don't lose their jobs because of taxes in V2.
So what you are replying doesn't make sense either.

>17 Jun.

The fuck, when did Barbarossa begin then? Did you help them?

Also >Norway

as you approach taxes at 100 percent, you get diminishing marginal returns in hpm

That's a lot of raum to leben

That's the case in vanilla.

How do you guys know this stuff

I don't believe HPM changed how that works from vanilla at all.

What's the point of that affirmation anyway? It makes no sense in the context of the conversation.

it started really early, not even poland was done
thing is, poland made their own faction with the balts so the allies didn't intervene at that point
also trotsky survived, so the ussr's unity was in the dump - as soon as moscow fell, they capitulated

Read the manual.
Play the game.

Actually this isn't really true. If the whole world increases taxes to 100% then you'd have diminishing returns, but a single country doesn't affect the market much at all.

Ah, thanks.

Ah yes, pf course. I'll go back to masturbating to ck2 instead

Persia started a war with Ming, which called her allies Bharat and Tibet. This lead to a focus on its Eastern front and several successful rebellions from Byzantine separatists.

Progress into North America is progressing smoothly. I'll probably grab Massachusetts to cripple the US industry completely then focus of getting Dixie land before the CSA arrives.

The Doctrine of Lapse is completely fucked if you release the states you inherit

Are hussars worth making or do I just stick with a pike retinue ?

Great stuff, really.

Is Armenia still Christian? Or even still Armenian?

PLEASE BREAK UP PERSIA
IT HURTS

I did it Veeky Forums! Got myself a nice piece of Africa. As soon as the next invention unlocks I'll start colonizing all those LR10 provinces and cover the whole dark continent in the glacial blue of scandinavian master race.

>1884
>Africa almost completely barren
Does HPM change when the scramble begins? In vanilla the scramble happens between 1870-1875 normally.

> I'll start colonizing all those LR10 provinces and cover the whole dark continent in the glacial blue of scandinavian master race.

so you are doing the reverse of real life ?

Neither, though I'll try to make it over and convert it to Orthodox.

That's the goal. Hopefully Italy and Mali will attack them while they're weak.

In HPM some opens up around 1880 and the final colonization tech happens around 1890
