/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

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, August 18th:
1870 – Franco-Prussian War: Battle of Gravelotte is fought.
1903 – German engineer Karl Jatho allegedly flies his self-made, motored gliding airplane four months before the first flight of the Wright brothers.
1920 – The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution is ratified, guaranteeing women's suffrage.
1940 – World War II: The Hardest Day air battle, part of the Battle of Britain. At that point, the largest aerial engagement in history with heavy losses sustained on both sides.

treddit

Something about relevence and something else, I forget the exact parameters.

i wish i was made of gold so people could check it out.

Let's go greet this guy pure /gsg/ style.

No.

why? What did he do?

Why do people still pay for DLCs for this broken ass game?

>HPM set to add urban terrains for urban areas
>only meme Spanish-Moorish provinces will get it

Well, at least getting sphered by Japan means I can relentlessly beat up on the Dutch and Chinese. It's just too bad I wasn't teched up enough to contest for Africa before all the great powers leapt on it.

Gibraltar is 7 kilometers square, most if not all provinces are way bigger than that

>no researxh set in a yead that doesn't end in 9

Sometimes I wish the reddit invasion was real desu, it would be better than you cancerous fucks

faggot go back

Why did I have to end up at this horrible general? Anything else on Veeky Forums would have been better than this total shithole.

Now I'm here mainly for HPM, because honestly everything else is cancerous. At best this is just "/pol/ - Vidya Edition", but it gets far worse than that.

>>>/reddit/

I don't want to get close to reddit. I hate that site entirely, it's just as bad or worse than traditional forums.

Still, even /r/paradoxplaza manages to be better than this absolute, unbearable shithole for some reason.

Best general desu

The thread is slow and mostly on topic, HPM was here 3 hours ago talking about video games and modding, I really don't know what you are whining about.

If I become the lesser partner in a personal union do I loose my colonies in eu4?

eu4wiki.com/Personal_union#Effect

that doesn't answer the question

...

>mfw Japanes and Chinese HRE will happen in CK2

Honestly, and I'm not even meming here, if you hate racism so much why don't you go to /r/paradoxplaza? They ban anything even mildly offensive.

>wanting to be a vassal
you just become a vassal if you are the junior partner

>EUIV now has more players than memellaris

Man, they fucked up bad didn't they.

Why is Britain so criminally underplayed in Victoria?

>le space grand strategy
>every game is exactly identical
Wow, it's almost like if people wanted Civ they would have played Civ.

>space
>"""""grand""""
>""""""""""""""strategy""""""""""""

It's time to play, meming! Or! Reddit!

t. grand battle plan pro

I mean, it is. That was just a meme we used because we didn't want that shit here. And like the autists that we are we threw a tantrum until we got exactly what we wanted.

giant blob

>it is
No, it isn't. It's literally a more elaborate version of civ beyond earth.

>Aurora 4x
Looks like the aurora autiste won in the end...

>its a more elaborate strategy game, not a grand strategy
wew

>>its a more elaborate strategy game, not a grand strategy
what did he mean by this?

You forgot EU4 in the list of banned 4x games

>traditional
>goy4

>annex Canada as USA
>communist rebels revolt
>literally all of them are in Canada
Really makes me think

desu the more I play gsg, the more I realize is that traditional gsg is the ultimate redpill

>redpill
Fuck off back to /pol/ and take this forced meme back with you.

Having a lot of fun playing ck2 going to try a different gsg game soon. Why do you guys like eu3 over euiv? What makes it better

treddit

redpill me on liquor

tgruica

liquor is white and based

>5 may
Damn, that shit was a long time ago.

where should I blob
>prussia
>russia
>colonies

Prussia. Gas anyone east of the oder neisse. Also, how?

>not taking all of GroßGermany and declaring yourself Poland-Germany

I modded it in from the start.

t. kraut on damage control

I haven't seen the "on damage control"/"in the bargaining phase" meme in years. I miss when /gsg/ was comfy like that.

The new content pack for CKII looks bretty good. Always annoyed me that East Africans looked like their "we wuz" counterparts and not the Africans that actually wuz kangs.

socialist /gsg/ was the comfiest desu

>/gsg/ was left wing meme
In your mind, does this become more true every time you tout it?

>/gsg/ was /pol/ meme
In your mind, does this become more true every time you tout it?

Reasons why /gsg/ is absolute shit:

>off-topic /pol/-tier discussion and memes are widely accepted here, the general is essentially a /pol/ colony much like other boards like Veeky Forums
>moderation on the board is rare, and not entirely effective when it does happen since they tend to ignore all /pol/ shit
>thoughtful discussion about any games is often shitposted by the regulars, independent shitposters or any active steamgroup shitters, especially if the game is "bad" by the general's standards
>users are often doxxed collectively, filling this entire thread with nothing but that bullshit while no other game discussion occurs
>content creators are constantly harrassed and even doxxed for posting here, filling entire threads with that crap
>content creators actually manage to bring in underage newfags from /r/paradoxplaza, so they bring in fresh cancer while the regulars harrass the content creators in an attempt to drive them away which only really causes more drama that makes the thread even shittier
>often raids other boards and sites but then everyone collectively complains when groups of shitters do the same on this general
>due to all of this, it's common to start a discussion about a specific issue for a grand strategy game and then be completely ignored in favour of /pol/-tier crap, content creator drama or any new doxxing/raid that people came up with

Honestly one of the worst, if not THE worst general on Veeky Forums. Everyone is total scum except for SOME of the content creators who keep the general interesting. Regulars, independent shitposters, redditors, steamgroup shitters: all of them are assholes.

/gsg/ is only really worthwhile because HPM and a few other good content creators come here. /r/paradoxplaza is absolute fucking shit just because it's reddit, and the Paradox forums are fairly shit as well.

It never gets any better.

t. lefty /pol/ack on damage control

>if not THE worst general on Veeky Forums.

I wouldn't go that far, but yeah. We are pretty fucking shitty.

t. fresh /pol/ colonist

I actually just started a UK game last night. It's actually surprisingly fun to just throw your weight around and fuck with everyone at all times

>just repeating what I've said whilst changing a noun
In your mind, does this become a more viable debate tactic every time you tout it?

t. HPM

>In your mind, does this become a more viable debate tactic every time you tout it?
Translation:
>I can't understand irony and the fact that this is not debate, but I am nonetheless deeply hurt by the fact that he insulted the board where I come from

>/pol/ is bad
>moderation is rare
>shitposting is bad
>doxxing is bad
>unironically defending HPM bringing in redditors
>raids are bad

t. /qa/ggot in the bargaining phase

>encouraging clerks in 1861
for what purpose?

Damn you got me.

>>off-topic /pol/-tier discussion and memes are widely accepted here, the general is essentially a /pol/ colony much like other boards like Veeky Forums
So many things wrong with this. First off, we have always had historical discussion here, for literal years. It's accepted because it's relevant to the games, like architecture discussion would be relevent to a sims game.

>muh evil /pol
You shouldn't come to forums if other people's opinions upset you, and if you still feel the need to you should go to places that ban racism, like /r/paradoxplaza.

>Veeky Forums is /pol/
Either never been to Veeky Forums or an ultra left winger who gets offended by eveeything to the right of his opinions.
