/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, September 25th:
1846 – U.S. forces led by Zachary Taylor capture the Mexican city of Monterrey.
1868 – The Imperial Russian steam frigate Alexander Nevsky is shipwrecked off Jutland while carrying Grand Duke Alexei of Russia.
1906 – In the presence of the king and before a great crowd, Leonardo Torres y Quevedo successfully demonstrates the invention of the Telekino in the port of Bilbao, guiding a boat from the shore, in what is considered the birth of the remote control.

Old Thread

Daily reminder there is literally nothing wrong with international Freedom.

Reminder that Austria-Hungary would be a superpower today if it had not disintegrated.

>half of the replies are deleted
epic

What's with all these people hostile towards the shitpost warning? Are we finally under occupation by the reddit and steamcord forces?

Because the guy posting it is a known ban evader.

How can we take him seriously if he doesn't listen to his own advice?

r&i is a shitposter himself

His message has caused more shitposting and drama than if he would've just kept his mouth shut.

>The mod isn't abandoned by me, I'll return in early September to continue working on the mod. Really sorry for having been gone for these three months.

what mod

lol the janny is uber butthurt

Janitor, delete this post NOW

I command you to wipe this filth off of MY THREAD

SERVANT, THAT IS AN ORDER!

...

Because that is a anti-steamgroup, anti-discord post, and those fags are super butthurt and want to kick him off /gsg/ as if that will make their position better.
Just report and ignore it.

WE

quite a few changes here in the new update. mainly in North America. Also the new Urban type makes its appearance but there's only 3 provinces with it.

What is the purpose of this post?

and nothing really changes here other than Canada has 3 or 4 less provinces to colonize

and with that all the maps are updated. now on to new ones

Just converted my game from EUIV to Vic2, and my cunt is called "RME" instead of ROMA wtf

Do you know how could I fix it ?

...

localization senpai

Upload the save and gimme, I wanna play as Rome

Pretty easy just go into localisation I can't remember all the steps but just 5 minutes of google will get you want you want

Anyway I doubt that such a grand empire would only have 35% literacy, printing press must have spread around everywhere and I'm sure there must have been a great wealth of literature. I bet hannover and scandinavia have really high literacy rates.
So fix that too, put it at like 80%

What are your accepted cultures? Post culture map.

Ok, give me a moment to reinstall the game in english language and reconvert my game.

>cheating when you are already the world superpower

What? You don't have to do that to change localization.

POST CULTURE MAP

I think I figured out where all my supplies went. Now if only they would move some of that to the unsupplied unit two tiles away.

I built infrastructure in north vietnam to allow indochina and china to be connected so I could ship supplies overland instead of losing convoys in SEA, but the game moved the supply dump location from Shanghai to here once they connected which means all the supply for my armies in China is flowing overland from ports in east China to this supply dump then overland back out to everywhere in China which is completely fucking up the distribution of supply. This fuckup is going to cost me a lot of IC-days in the form of infrastructure.

no him

but do this

open localization folder of your mod and open anyone and in the first column add RME and bellow RME_ADJ, not in the second you write Rome and bellow Roman

UPLOAD THE GOD DAMN SAVE
LET ME PLAY AS GLORIOUS ROME

The localization file in the game is where the descriptions and names of things are stored, you need to find the RME entry in there and edit it to have whatever words and descriptors you want. This has nothing to do with the literal localization as in translation of your game installation.

Ok thanks guys.

can you choose where do you supplies go though land? or it's automatic and it chooses the best provinces?

Why is this allowed?

It stands for "Ridiculously Massive Empire" lad. The game's telling you to stop blobbing like a little faggot.

what?
RME_ADJ is the adjetive you country have

BELLOW
RME_ADJ

RME_ADJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is even the point of playing something like this

Just change your primary title

...

dude inheritance lmao

Oh shit you can use excel to edit these?

Oh.
Thanks.

how come the first mission was significantly harder than the next five so far? also it feels like the ai goes to ridiculous bounds to single out high levelled or loyal units even if they would've fared better by killing low hp stock units
i expected the game to be pretty bad but it's kind of fun so far

not liquor related, fuck off

Wrong general, you are looking for civ4x

wesnoth is fun but rng as fuck

So, I am playing HOI4 again, since they have come out with the 1.2 patch.

Why are they so bad at making this game?

They seem to have some good ideas, and the subject matter is interesting enough, but then they have to put things together, and incorporate a good AI.

I am fighting the Germans and Japanese as much as the interface. Why, when I am assigning security units to occupied territory, would there be ports and airfields ready to click, and take me out of that mode. Don't they know that time could be very important here?

As a lark, as the United States, I picked a focus allowing me to puppet Venezuela. When I won the war, and puppeted them, world tension was reduced to nothing, slowing my progress out of the depression and entry into WWII. I wasn't even mad. I laughed.

The focus system assures that countries have some choices, and varies play somewhat, but doesn't take into account changes in government. Why would a newly installed government in Japan still be angry at the United States for implementing War Plan Orange? Why would the United Kingdom choose Benelux Intervention when they are allies? Why would a democratic Russia keep the same focus tree as the Soviets?

The peace system is still broken. While there is a mod addressing it, it is still broken. Why is it possible to release countries with an opposing government, who will immediately ally with the Comintern? Why wouldn't these countries both view you favorably because you installed them, and why wouldn't they be in your faction? Why can't I choose to give only some of their territory back, instead of an all or nothing thing?

Speaking of AIs and factions, why are countries still joining hopelessly losing factions? Both Japan and Germany have capitulated? It must be the perfect time for Iraq and Afghanistan to join the Axis.

Such things as production resources, and where you can produce ships are minor compared to the big things that are just broken.

What's the quickest way to play as Boer states in HPM?

>why is a company with no competition so incompetent

Can anyone confirm that it's possible to get positive NU due to intercepting convoy raiders? I know strategic bombing interception works as intended, but I've literally never seen a positive value appear for the convoy raiding part. No matter how aggressively and effectively I engage and destroy convoy raiding stacks, I can't get the tooltip to recognize my actions.

Am I doing something wrong? I've been using patrolling destroyers, wide-area naval strike NAV, destroyers on escort mission, micro-managed destroyers, and micro'd combat fleets (for when they're raiding with a surface fleet), I've sunk dozens of submarines and raiding surface ships, and I've never gotten anything besides "0" for the number of times I've attacked convoy raiders. I'm starting to assume it's bugged, that this value and therefore the "prosperous convoy" strategic modifier are meaningless.

What Mod are you using?

HPM

Hyperwar update

>M&T 2.0 is in the hands of people like this

>no competition
They're competing with the rest of the video game market, dude. The only reason they can charge out the ass for their shitty games and DLC is because the "muh history" gamers will buy them no matter what. Same thing with the Total War devs except they seem to be somewhat competent.

What are some good ideas for a mega campaign?

not that i would ever do one

Can anyone think of a better name for Egypt?

There's no HPM for CK2, but I found HIP. Is HIP the one you're using?

>Same thing with the Total War devs except they seem to be somewhat competent

>They're competing with the rest of the video game market, dude.
here's what you just said:
>angry birds and call of duty are competing for the same market because they're both video games! I know they're completely different genres but they're still the same thing lmao

I don't know what the WE WUZ call Egypt but it's fine to leave it like that:

It's made worse by the fact there was no plague going on. Everyone just started to drop like flies for the most retarded reasons, and the only people left were absolutely incompetent.
