/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

There is literally nothing belgian about being Walloon.

>>>/l/eftypol

it's perfect

When Queen Eglantine turns 14, she orders the invasion of the Emirate of Hijaz, across the narrow Red Sea, to secure it as a possession of the Egyptian crown. Although Jerusalem borders Hijaz and, if anything, should be the power to expand within Arabia, Aubry's alliance with his niece prevents him from refusing her call to arms; he will have to assist her in securing the Emirate, at the risk of his own power. The only consolation the King has is that the Muslim world will be left truly reeling if their dual holy cities can be captured.

There is other poor news surrounding Eglantine: she is betrothed to Philaretos Angelos, the brother of the current King of Italy, Pelagios Angelos. It appears as if the Egyptian throne will slip from the hands of the Aleramici dynasty after Eglantine's death, much to the displeasure of Baudouin; it will lose him his guaranteed ally to the southwest. At least that branch of the Angelos clan is properly Catholic, and diplomacy between Aegyptus and Jerusalem under their rule might not be impossible.

There is literally nothing french about being Walloon.

Are you guys literal retards? The levant(and northern africa) is sunny as fuck, there is no way people would remain white after centuries in the sun. There is a reason Italians are brown.

>a tan equals increases melanin amount in the skin

lol

But who was kings?

r8 dem borders

man islam if fucked in this world

>he fell for the sun meme
How do you explain Boers in South Africa?

Shortly after Aubry leaves his army camp at Monreal to join the fighting in Hijaz, Botokhui sends a letter to him informing him that their many dalliances while she was at camp with him have resulted in a child. An excited Aubry eagerly rushes into the Muslim hinterland to secure victory, so that he might be back in Jerusalem in time for the birth. The Mohammedan put up almost no fight, and Aubry manages to make it back in time for the birth of his second son.

Aubry wishes to name him Philippe, but his wife isn't having it. "You named our first son," she reminded him, looking menacing in spite of the babe cradled in her arms. "Am I your wife, or am I meant to be a slave? This is a second son, and I should name him." Aubry, the fool he was, believed she would choose a reasonable name if given the opportunity, and agreed to permit her to choose.

She chose Temujin, after her own father.

"Boto," he sighed, "you cannot name our son after a Mongol warlord, especially one who isn't Christian. Father or not."

"Look at him!" the girl shouted, holding her son up to his father. "He is my spitting image! He takes after my blood, not your own. And by your own laws he is not to be King, so what qualm might you have? That your subjects might look askance? Are you so cowardly?"

She was lying down with the child once again held to her breast, but her eyes flashed as if she were riding into battle. Aubry sighed. "We cannot name him Temujin because none of my people will be able to pronounce it properly. We must at least make an effort to name him something that we can speak." Botokhui disagreed, vehemently, and they continued to fight over the matter of a name for several days.

Until, that is, their little boy, who had been sickly since he was born, died a week later. The couple made up quickly after the loss of their son, and came to a compromise as their sorrowfully buried him: he would be known as Temoudjine, a French pronunciation of her father's name.

This AAR is just full of feels man

God requires the descendants of the King of Jerusalem to be white.

what a depressing way to end a playthrough

What are some restrictions I can put on myself to make ck2 fun again? It's way too easy of a game

Stop thinking "le blob" and start thinking "le incest"

TIA

Fuck, so that's what happened. Those aren't niggers, they are just tanned boers, right?

Create a goal as your starting nation that isnt too blobby, then when that goal is achieved play as someone else and rinse and repeat, craft your perfect europe.

Become absolute monarch of Sicily. Do not go beyond the shores. Give independence to everyone else, but do become powerful and influential to those around you.

>Iraq, Syria, and Persia revoke military access and I lose 25% of my standing army because they're stuck in Palestine
You know you could have just deleted them and rebuilt them? Assuming they are all from different provinces it takes 2-3 months if you have a stockpile

>war exhaustion hits 100 because my colonies are captured, though none of my cores or non-colonials are, militancy skyrockets
Colonies occupied don't increase WE. This is why its fucking painful to beat the UK out of india in the first place. You either let yourself be blockaded, suffered way too much attrition, or lost battles.

That's why SA is doing so well. Over time the white people just became black, their tans got darker every year until their very DNA changed and as their facial features started to change a new ruling class was born. 1994 was when the original settlers turned black, it takes 300 years you see and as most of the settlers arrived in 1694 that's why it happened.

In the midst of the anarchy in Arabia following the fall of the holy city of Mecca, a Mongol adventurer, Oljaitu Ganzorig, invades the northern Arabian desert, seizing booty and forcing tribes under his vassalage along the way.

Although Oljaitu is not a serious threat to Aubry, he does represent something of a problem. The King, now in his middle years, had not before considered the possibility that Mongol adventurers might venture outside the Horde to establish their own realms; in spite of his non-aggression pact with Arkhai Khan, he may not be as completely safe as he once believed.

With that in mind, Aubry decides to complete the work his father began years earlier by capturing the desert outpost of al-Jawf, which will give the King of Jerusalem fully control of all passes from the south.

oh, blockades then. Battle score was +50, wish it wasn't fucking capped there. I was at +45% the entire war

But how am I supposed to fight the British, German, and French navies

There was no point in rebuilding them, I was already building 200+ brigades

So you're saying that on 2088 random aussies will start turning into abos?

What country did you form India as?

A stupid quirk of the AI is that if you just want to white peace them, add any shitty wargoal (e.g. humiliate or dismantle forts) and then they'll be willing to white peace. You can basically always do this at +50 WS.

Some already did.

Yes precisely, where you live determines your genes regardless of lineage or being from somewhere else
Thus all Somalis in southern Sweden will be Geats in a few generations

Yes. If you look at New Zealand the process has already begun. Pic related is the leader of their right wing party.

reminder Alex is Italian

Avanti alexlia!

Top kek. This was breddy glever

Well, gents. The Franco-Prussian war was a long fought war, lasting almost 3 years. However, the results were nothing but positive. As a result of the Prussian victory, France surrendered the provinces of Elsass, Lothringen, Metz, and Sundgau to the Prussian state.
Immediately upon the French surrender (nothing out of the ordinary here), Wilhelm I von Hohenzollern approved the formation of a German state, a homeland for all Germans.
tl;dr: I have successfully formed the nation of Germany, r8 my CULTURAL blob.

Link pls

Hyderabad. I did cheat a little bit as in releasing all possible Indian nations from the UK, but the UK still had a shit ton of guys and territories around.

Welp, now I have to debate whether or not to load or start again from scratch

The funny part is I took over palestine to prevent israel from ever possible happening, and then when I was forced into a dismantle peace offer, Israel formed

On top of successfully forming a nation for all Germans, the Hohenzollern family is renowned for being the leaders of multiple world powers.

>a little bit

By virtue of its position nigh to the coast and a constant military garrison which happily takes to slaughtering any natives who dare to resist the ruling order, Christian control in Mecca is maintained. Yet the situation in Medinah, far more inland, is a different story. Open riots against Christian rule have pushed out forces loyal to Queen Eglantine, forcing her to grant the territory to the current Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order, Rainers Challant, in the hopes that Teutonic forces can enter the city and pacify it.

The decision is a pleasant surprise for Aubry, who can now potentially look forward to the military support of the Teutonic Order's garrison in Medinah in any future wars against the Mohammedan.

Oh shit, lads.

They were still UK satellites nigger, I just wanted to level the playing field a bit

Will you take Sicily and Cillicia? Your borders would be hella fucking epic then

>cheating
>all that attrition
>not realizing it's nearly impossible to see Israel forming without player interference
>being dismantled

Wow steam group did something with their shitty raids for once, color me impressed.

Absolutely epic plausibility.

I started that thread
not steam group

>cheating

>HPM says for a long ass time he lives in italy
>even posted a photo of it
>people act surprised when he, in fact, lives in Italy
lel

Not to mention it isn't something new
HPM already said he lives in Italy

Ayyy, right back at you, bro.

>people thought Grandi was a Brazilian last name

>he

>Jews don't deserve their own country but everyone else does LMAO xDD!!!

So fucking edgy, if all Jews had stayed in Europe you nazis would've complained about them just as much smfh

>people still think a vague connection to an image that was also used by some shitter names Alex Grandi means that's who he is

>people
The steamgroup doesn't give a fuck about HPM nationality as long as they can pin him down as something /pol/ will hate

...

t. HPM

i'd like to see india formed in a vanilla game in which they don't abuse the UK AI to the point of cheating

>teutonic Medina
Holy fuck, I've never been so hard in my whole life

The only thing missing is Mecca

talex

I can't get that picture of fake Grandi out of my head

HPM could be a negro from the depths of the Congo and I would be fine with it due to his Aryan work ethic and history autism
t./pol/itician

>there is no Italian diaspora in Brazil

Not revealing my border plans as yet. Everyone will see what I've got in store over time.

Well, Mecca is in the hands of the Catholic Queen of Aegyptus, so that's still pretty good.

>people thought that Grandi is HPM's real name

He already admitted that the Picasa account was his Grandi Youth Gruppenführer .

>It's another steamgroup derails the thread with their absolute devotion and love for HPM episode

Wait, I thought Grandi was the one who made the unfinished Commie Mod

Alex Grandi is obviously brazilian with a walloon ancestry and was bullied in his youth by spaniards.

t. falseflagging /r9k/ cuck

talex

It's the only fags who call him Alex Grandi lad
They love the fucker so fucking much they can't help but derail every thread in a discussion about HPM like he's some fucking e-celeb or something

>he doesn't know steamgrüppe is just /gsg/ raiding itself

Reminder

alex is based

That's all me folks!

After his return from campaigning in al-Jawf, Botokhui and Aubry indulge in their usual greeting, and the result of the coupling is yet another pregnancy.

Nine months later, another sickly little girl is born. Although Botokhui and Aubry both fear that she will not survive just as Temoudjine did not, Aubry nevertheless gives her a name: Eirene, after the mother he never met. Although he never knew her and never truly loved her, his father's dedication to her throughout the course of his remaining days convinced Aubry that he owed her respect.

>Botokhui
What kind of name is that
