/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/?

This day in history, July 14th:

Who's actually worth trying in Charlemagne or Old Gods?

Who do I play to be the Holy Roman Empire when the time is right?

What is it like playing as a vassal?

>Start in Charlememe
>Hang out in Africa
>Look at Europe
>See this

Dammit emperor, get your shit together.

Zunbils and Bavandids in 769, Karen dynasty in 867, the Norse vikings in either. And of course there's the Emir of Derbent in 769, vassal to the Sultan of Armenia and (according to some historical sources, as well as the in-game dynasty tracker) descendant of the Sassanid dynasty that once ruled Persia. Starting as one of the few remaining Avar realms in 867 and trying to restore Avar rule to the Pannonian basin against the Magyars, Bulgarians and Bohemians is also an interesting little challenge.

As for what it's like to play as a vassal? Best way to learn is to try it yourself.

Wait are we posting in this one or the old one? cause this one is early af

I was thinking, after peacing out in the Crimean war as Russia just after it had begun, that it's almost unwinnable.

Why? Because a player that knows what he's doing, will neglect military research in favor of cultural research, in order to get higher literacy. So, by the beginning of the Crimean war, your technology will be shit.

You might be able to earn a phyrric victory if you mobilize, but it will kill half your country. Also if you are very lucky and Prussia/NGF/Germany doesn't join the war, you might win a gamey victory by defending choke points.

But if the Germans join the war there is absolutely no way you can win the war, unless you are willing to destroy your country(it might take decades to recover). There is no point in even fighting that war.

if you are a cuck maybe

Is Vicky 1 worth playing if I like and play vicky 2?

The Khans have turned orthodox but they are right next door should I sumbit and bend the knee? I am Roleplaying and my last king despite being a kind and just man was a proud zelot hungry for fame and glory and dragged the kingdom to debt to the jews and we need time to heal.

On the other hand I dont want these horsefuckers to get any stronger but they have a fuckton of troops.

HPM man, you there?
Please remove the Danubian federation as a nation. Make it more of a decission, so those groups become the accepted culture
I hate to see that disgusting pile of light red shit everytime I play my Germany save
kthx

Wrong photo sorry

fuck off, hanz

No you fucking autist
The idea of the Danubian Fed is so super retarded
Please please please remove it and compensate it by something more fucking realistic

i love steamgroup

Mods please ban OP for raiding

EU4:

>play eu3

>""""""""""alleged"""""""""" genetic disorders

how to deal with this mess?

have the soviet union do the world a favor and nuke itself.

Why the fuck the baquette always, ALWAYS quarantee Sweden's independence as soon as I try to justify a wargoal on them?

What the fuck am I supposed to do to stop them from doing that? Whenever I go to war with Sweden the french declare war and send sixty trillion troops into Sweden and I fucking lose every single goddamn time because I'm playing as the goddamn Finland and I want Sweden to fucking burn.

Disband them all and build a new army from scratch.

Oh and this is HoI4 please send help I am fucking tired of this bullshit

There are two gsg boards up right now

uninstall

but it would require a lot of time and IC to rebuild army

does anyone have the eu4 to vic 2 converter link (I can't find it)

please and thank you

dont justify over 25% world tension you twat

>ottoman

Already on it, gonna make them all puppets, and give all the enclaves to the appropriate puppet state. Will update after the Egyptian war

My custom flags in vicky 2 arent appearing. I tried deleting my flag cache but my game isnt generating a new one
