We don't have an official steam or discord group.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, July 9th: 1776 – George Washington orders the Declaration of Independence to be read out to members of the Continental Army in Manhattan, while thousands of British troops on Staten Island prepare for the Battle of Long Island. 1944 – Finland wins the Battle of Tali-Ihantala, the largest battle ever fought in northern Europe. The Red Army withdraws its troops from Ihantala and digs into a defensive position, thus ending the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive.

What's the purpose of the commerce techs in victoria 2? They seem like a waste of time until the end game when everything important is researched

Like said, if you are a poor ass country that doesn't make much money (if any), then those techs can make all the difference.

Should I choose isolationism or western influence? Assuming the goal is to be grob and westernized ASAP but also not fall apart to rebels that will reset my civilizing progress mana

Play the British Empire, and sublimate the Indians. The world will thank you.

Always western influence unless you are China.

I literally don't see what's exceptionally funny about this post, it's not like he's complaining about Fascism or the way that other people play the game--he just feels weird about roleplaying the people that raped his family
is the joke that he's indian?

Please don't, we have enough autism going on with only one AAR user, doing another just tells those weebs and queers they're welcome here.

Im still working on that grand strategy game. I am trying to make maps of menus right now and go through the logical progressions of governments based off national techs.
As such if your say russia you have a russian tech tree, and if your communist you have a russian tech tree. Certain techs like Stalinism require some techs from multiple trees
Now the big question. Say soviet russia doesnt take stalinism and decides to fill out the full Marxist tech branch.
My idea was that at the end of the Marxist tech tree it just says "The Final Step" which makes any nation that takes it stop existing. Becoming a Stateless Socialist Commune. All provinces owned by it become semi autonomous 'nations' and all are allied to one another and share resources produced by pops and rgos.
However this means that the player now either game overs or picks a new nation.
Is this idea too memey and would this even be desirable for players? Your my main demographic so I want your opinions.
I already am trying to make it as in depth and obtuse as possible, par your suggestions.

use Ctrl + S to spoiler on computer for future reference. Also I've been quite hype to hear about anything that spans the Cold War.

It could be achievable, but it'll feel more like many games glued together because certain features would come in the longer it goes on.

North of Greenland wouldn't be this accurately drawn. Obviously a fake.

How important is developing provinces? It costs monarch points, which is so useful for everything else, but it seems like not doing it will leave me kind of weak.
Also, are churches worth building? 40% local tax modifier doesn't seem that great when it costs 100 ducats.
Dominic Gray

NGL, as a meme loving communist I think this is a genuinely awful idea.
I don't mean to be rude or a shitter I just genuinely think this is a horrible idea, and there's no way you can accurately depict the time period you hope to depict. I think you are better off trying to make a wargame that is exceptionally deep. Maybe make a very complex wargame base that can easily take modules for different wars. I'm sorry.
Aaron Evans
I have legit never touched britain in Vicky 2 because that's when they've become the eternal anglo.
They're fair game in CK2.

Its meant to be long as hell Simply enough to make things harder for me, that and I have a really snazzy way of making warfare change over time based on tech and this will allow me to do it.
It goes regiments -> fronts -> insurgencies and occupations
Regiments are like any gs game Fronts are lines with a thickness that acts as one gigantic unit in how it occupies. But like a trade route in how resources are distributed. And insurgencies are pops that wreck shit for other pops and can eventually rise as a regiment. This is the only one that can attack rgos directly rather than just make them less efficient from occupation and looting.
Cameron Ross
nah id rather vassalise them
Daniel Ward
Oh no dont worry. Any input is good input, even if its "your in way over your head" because it makes me change perspectives Ive already made a wargame, its on tabletop simulator (well was, i took it off so i can make custom pieces) it is deep in that you have to worry about supply and morale.
I want to take it the step further with this.
Jackson Morgan
Show culture map of the region
I knw I shouldn't judge since I asked, but >all of it
I'll probably leave the lowlands alone aside from Luxembourg. I might try and colonize "Venezuela" though.
What about the Swiss?

Ya, annex Canada and assimilate the English. Leave the Quebecois alone.
Also convert the Louisianians and Mexicans, and wipe more of the eastern natives from your lands.
