/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.

>Darkest Hour
that's a shitposting OP. Therefore it's a shiposting thread.
Saged and about to create a proper one.

reminder Germany is based and should own at least 90% of Europe

It already owns 100% of Europe

Why is Dumbest Hour in the OP?

groß

thanks R&I, don't forget to link it here

sage goes in all fields

How long until HitlerMod releases the mod

grand

good

what happened to 7 years mod?

Why won't they accept? Do I have to take one of the actual treaty ports?

Please tell me your capital is still in the new world

Rate my empire of dirt

Was removed because it was made by discord shitposters.

Just keep the war going and they should give up, either by getting slightly more warscore or racking up their war exhaustion.

should I prioritize clergymen or bureaucrats as an unciv with low literacy?

>That Grossaustriums
Bretty gud.

But the mod is fun

was removed because archive lad is suffering from terminal autism

Fuck off back to your general

That doesn't stops you from playing it, go play it.

Life is Strange is white and based

doesn't matter, the thread of quality gotta be littered with the blood of shitposting modders

Yes kept it in the new world, already put down one nationalist revolt in Portugal.

Okay sounds good. French got there first so hopefully they have some ducats left for me.

What's better, modded EU 3 or modded EU 4?

Modded FtG

*tips army of 30k losing to 3k rebels*

Is there anything important I'm missing in eu4 by not having the cossacks and the mare nostrum expansions that weren't included in the free patches?

>attacking in the mountains
lmaoing @ ur life desu

t. losing a defense battle while defending in the moutais across rivers with 20:1 advantage because your enemy had 0.1 morale higher and scored a 9 on die pro

>FtG

What is that?

>armies never losed battles against all odds
>wars are decided in just one battle
top wew

>- Blocked barons from having Agnatic-Cognatic succession (it's an inheritance mess)
Why? Just curious.

Is there any reason not to purge the officer corps in C.O.R.E.? I know you lose Tukhachevsky, but are there any other particularly good officers that are lost? Also, do the "Soviet Union Gears Up For War!" events still fire if you don't purge?

Yes.

>- Even Malcontent voters will now vote for additional council power laws, as it means they'll have more to say 'no' about
>Right now in conclave if a Councillor is mad at you he will refuse to extend his own powers
Hope they also fixed the "can't give away title, I'm mad at you because you hold too many" shit

>feel like playing a game where i control Rome
>Rome II
>Athens has been conquered by the disgusting Egyptians
>invade to liberate the noble Athenians
>destroy the defenders and win the battle
>i cant give Athens back to their people, my only 3 options are occupy, loot, and raze
>literally can't NOT take total control of the city
>can't release my territories or stop controlling them at all

Why are Total War games so graphically beautiful and yet so fucking terrible?

Literally the only thing you can do is blob

>C.O.R.E
Now theres a name I havent heard in a long long time

>- Rulers can now change crown laws every 50 years, rather than once per lifetime (cooldown still removed on death)
Finally.

Don't think many people here play that. I'm guess no.

What pissed me of the most is how ridiculous diplomacy is. I had a diplomat gifting money to the pope every fucking year otherwise he would hate me and excommunicate me.

Hitlermod, which countries will be the GPs?

The council updates in Conclave are an absolute ABORTION

Still not as terrible as factions... literally have to endure 3-4 successive civil wars every time i have a new ruler before my vassals learn that the only result of rebelling is being in prison the rest of their lives.

Whoever is in charge of those mechanics at paradox is asleep at the wheel

>rome ii
aka invade neighbors until you've conquered the world because absolutely every other country has negligible armies/no technology so their armies are full of shit that get curbstomped by my legions of Triarii

Yeah, the faction shit was terrible.
>Grow up with honorable guy
>Become friends, he's a close friend of the family. Give him lands
>I die, my son becomes king
>suddenly the best friend of the family turns to the new king and I WILL DRINK FROM YOUR SKULL

>still half an year before Season 2 is released going by the most optimistic guesses
Thanks for reminding me.

Total war series has always been all about battles. The campaign map is just a backdrop to facilitate big ass battles.

Because they were made for that: battles and blobbing.

If you want to play Total War games that are minimally decent try Rome I and Medieval II with Europa Barbarorum I and II respectively.

It's full blown autism that is only restricted by the shitty game engine.

>unironically playing teenage angst: tumblr edition: the game


kill yourself

guess it's time to get them

>r-redditors love vic 2 trust me you dumb beer and magistrate fags

You are one very rude poster, you know that?

Why are the rebellion systems in Paradox games so horribly shit?

>CK2
>vassals are constantly pushing for bullshit like elective monarchy and threaten you with war even though your forces are far superior
>they actually go to war and inevitably get BTFO because their "armies" are shit, and spend their rest in life in prison
>all of their descendants will end up doing the same shit, only because they didn't like you enough

>vic II
>pops are living in a comfy welfare state
>suddenly they feel like they want yet another relatively pointless reform
>use new upper house support to pass a different reform instead
>they actually become more angry than before, that is, they would have been happier if you didn't pass anything
>suddenly millions of socialist rebels
>huge rebellion numbering to up a million primary culture pops in a few months
>obviously, they get BTFO extremely hard because your army is large and good, not even having a close chance to overthrow the government, even if plenty of soldier brigades were to rebel (most of the time they don't)
>over the next few decades, pops will keep doing this shit despite that it's absolutely futile

It's just so bad. The worst thing is that r*dd*t and the Paradox forums will unironically defend this..

/gsg/ was a mistake

So is it safe to say that R&I is not a bot? He often skips threads and takes some time to reply.

Well, yes. I've been here for quite a while anyway.
I suppose /lisg/ was decent until about a month after the release of its last episode too, but I didn't check it in time.

>socialists being retarded

Liangmod

All other mods are banned.

>USSR, become Federation as quickly as possible

MEIOU is without a doubt the best mod for EUIII

Changeowner Wisconsin and Michigan to the FSA, and help Mexico reclaim its lost land and you'll have a damn good America.

Yes.
I'm just bad at the game.
It's not a competition.
