How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, October 28th: 456 – The Visigoths brutally sack the Suebi's capital of Braga (Portugal), and the town's churches are burnt to the ground. 1420 – Beijing is officially designated the capital of the Ming dynasty on the same year that the Forbidden City, the seat of government, is completed. 1628 – French Wars of Religion: The Siege of La Rochelle, which had lasted for 14 months, ends with the surrender of the Huguenots. 1918 – World War I: Czechoslovakia declares independence from Austria-Hungary marking the beginning of an independent Czechoslovak state, after 300 years.

Amount of reserves depends entirely on how many units you have available. You might wanna garrison the border with 3-4 units so if you have full 5 unit corps then leave 2 on the back ready to respond to places that look weak. If you don't have that many units then you must instead of using reserves just abandon/partially abandon the province while you regain organization. This is the style you will have to use with Russia, falling back to the next defense position and then the next and then the next until the enemy is too overextended to fight.
Doctrines are super important here since they give big bonuses to organization.
AI is up to you, use as much as you see fit. Obviously the optimal strategy is to run at speed 1 and pause regularly and manually control all units but that's probably not desirable. On the other end is automating all units at theather level and using max speed which requires least attention but gives worst results. There is a happy medium in there. For example with France you might want to automate your navy and maybe the border against Italy and focus your attention on the air force and the norther border.
About the troops, remember that each unit you produce is cheaper and faster to produce than the one before it. This means that what ever comps you choose you should stick with them because twice as big of an army of one or two basic types will beat an army that has every possible unit mixed in. That being said there is a time and place for tanks and specialist divisions but build them with purpose.
Also if you ever use tanks get the tank doctrine that reduces their combat widt by 1, it's the best doctrine in the game.

>About the troops, remember that each unit you produce is cheaper and faster to produce than the one before it. This means that what ever comps you choose you should stick with them... I think this is also where I fuck up. So should I just set a run of like 20 grunt infantry units with 4xINF and 1xART as my bread and butter? (and I guess AT too)
Because at the start of the game I did a serial run of like 8 units and by the time I was done with that I started making tanks and mot divisions which isn't advised from what you're saying.
>all this good advice on /gsg/ Thanks man.
I'm gonna restart with this info and post back.
>you need to put pretty much an entire corps on every province in Europe, I know what you mean. I see borders with entire corps on them and I'm just like "well this is fucking stupid". This is especially true with the eastern front. It's doomstack vs doomstack.

Lads, should I go gommie for full memes?
Parker Butler
exactly you should pick a mass produced combo and just have that on repeat till basically infinity. Every time one completes the next one is cheaper and takes less time. And what I mean by this say infantry takes 10 IC/month and 10 months, the next one might be 9 IC/month and 9 months and the repeat after that 8 IC/month and 8 months. You can see how it starts to make a huge difference since not only you get "more" IC to spend right now on other stuff but your stuff also takes less time to make. Numbers I pulled out of my ass obviously but you can see the modifiers in game if you are interested.
Against germans you want some hard attack too so have individual AT regiments in training too which you can attach here and there.
I complimented him on his basedness too if you didn't notice. Might have gotten lost on all the other contributing stuff.

(and I guess AT too) I only know DH so you'll need advice from him if this is the case in HoI3, but if you do that in DH you get a gearing bonus, which means this is optimal.

Is this only when producing serially or does it work that way for parralel you produce after the first one's done?
Aaron Torres
any production takes the current practicals when ti starts producing so if you complete units mid way it doesn't shorten the production of the rest but it will apply to all new units you schedule.

Going tall is interesting. I once played an entire game of EU4 as Frankfurt, without getting ANY provinces. I force-vassalized and fed other countries, mainly Mainz, Hesse and Trier. By the end my 'empire' had about 20 provinces and Frankfurt itself was at 110 development but at that point it was about 600 to increase further.

Just wanna ask how do you have fun in your games in ck 2? Like obviously you set out to get a kingdom but what's next? This is me asking who hasn't seen thru the end year for ck2. Also how do you have fun in a multiplayer environment? Just got my chums to give ck2 a try, obviously they were overwhelmed, they promised me they'd try learning it though.

Rising to power is the most fun part, once you have a solid powerbase (your own kingdom) then just fight a bunch of massive wars I suppose. Some people like to spread their dynasty a lot or sponsor holy orders to make them grow. Go for hard battles like toppling the entire HRE/Byzantines by yourself as a minor kingdom.

Eli Myers
Since there's Sengoku Rance mentioned in the OP, I guess it's OK to ask this here too:
What's the "best" offensive skill in Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX?
I'm not sure exactly if I understand how the top tier ones work.
>Puissance = works the same as all other "Divine" skills, except they're all rolled into one (so if you're using spears, it's the same as having Divine Spears, if your officer is in a Siege Troop then Puissance works as Divine Forge, etc.) >& this means that whenever you use a [Tactic] attack, it is a critical hit => so even if you have a troop of 1 Spearman, and your officer has 1/1/1/1/1 skills, this one spearmen can permastun a 10,000 army of Lu Bu as long as you have Will for Tactics.
Is that correct?
Is there anywhere explained what "critical hits" do for each tactics by the way? Because the only thing I know about really is that Spearman Rush confuses on a critical hit. Are critical hits from Divine skills still affected by your WAR / ATK etc?
>God's Command / Flying General = these are merely skills, so unlike Divine* stuff they only work when you have a higher WAR (or specifically ATK) rating than the enemy, so Guan Yu cannot actually permastun Lu Bu (because Lu Bu's WAR is 100) with Spear Rush whereas even a 1 man troop with Divine Spear/Divine Right/Puissance could. So, in general "vs weak unit" -> always applies X when used against a unit with less overall ATK (so a wounded Lu Bu can be affected by God's Command even though he has higher WAR)?
The tradeoff compared to Puissance being that GC not only works with Tactics but also with land regular attack (it's also Exterminate) and Flying General is also Fleetness.
And one more question then would be
how does Stampede (Cavalry tactics attacks cause confuse "vs weak unit") interact with: a) Divine Cavalry / Puissance? b) God's Command / Flying General?
I'm fairly certain that Stampede will always trigger whenever b) triggers as well.
Anthony Garcia
I have played HoI2, EU3, EU4, Vicky 2, and CK2 for several hundred hours each and EU4 is by far the most challenging game for me. Vicky 2 is trivially easy. I'll never understand you people and your memes, how many of you actually play these games?
Noah Watson
>play meme game get memed on
Jacob Bailey
did anyone else unironically get a virus from these shit ads without even clicking them
Noah Sanchez
But if a) triggers always on tactics, no matter what, does that mean that Stampede also always triggers no matter what? (So you can permanently confuse with Cavalry too)..
And finally, one more cavalry related issue:
It is said that the "White Riders" enabled Horsebows are stronger / get stronger once you actually research Horsebows. Is that true? How? Furthermore, is there any difference between the Attack power of a Cavalry unit using the Horsebows ranged attack and the same cavalry unit NOT using its ranged attack (which they do automatically for some reason - even if you have Horsebows, they will still use melee if you Attack from meelee range - sounds to me like it would be preferably to choose ranged attack even from melee range just like regular Crossbow units can do)?
