/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

THIS.
Finally I can be a part of the templars and jerk for to "remove kerbob" memes.

What the fuck are you talking about?

...

Anyone has a link for the new eu4/ck2 patches?

W&B

Look in the OP

The russian site? But I don't want spyware.

Nice meme.

>queens never betrayed their husbands

That's what we have, suit yourself.

kids like shitposting therefore they join steam/discord groups

adults like serious discussion and grand strategy therefore they support R&I in efforts to purge the shitposters from /gsg/

Is hoi4 good yet?

no

kickass.cd/search.php?q=europa universalis

What's wrong with it?

>scam sites

absolutely white

For one it's boring and the AI is shit.
Not even him.

Any real citicism tho?

lol k not like I'm playing the updated version from this at all

>Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Sure, are you enjoying that bitcoin miner and the spyware minigames?

I'm not shitposting, just looking for better criticism than 'its easy'

just play blackice mod and its fun

>BICE

That isn't criticism

I am slowly getting bored with this game (now also own Saxony, Thuringia, Brunswick and Croatia)

What could be some fun things to do? I like RPing a lot so any shit in that regard is welcome

Every time you get big this game gets boring as fuck.

Yeah i got 700+ hours on it and i don't think i ever even got to year 1750 because i always got bored.

But there might be some fun things to do that are hard to achieve, like colonizing africa, dismantling France, conquering Constantinople

you asked if hoi4 is good yet. interpret what you will from me saying you need bice to have fun

This shit gets grindy. I had a game while I tried to tackle the turks but after I depleted their manpower they shat an army purely out of mercs about the same size. 200K mercs prancing around.

Late game gets so boring when you are big.

Why is hoi3 ai so bad?

It isn't.

You are just bad at it. There's a difference.

HOLA REDITO

So im checking out Greater Germany when Austria is joining.
>10% base chance for whole Austria to join
>5% if its a secondary power(which is required)
BUT THE CATCH IS
>factor 0 on being A-H or Constitutional Monarchy
So basically...Austria cannot fully join if its A-H or Con. Monarchy, only partially. Even if it fits the requirements its only 5% chance.
And Austria automatically becomes A-H once it drops to secondary power.

Why the fuck did you even write the option then?

>fully occupy Austria
>research N&I
>peace out for sphere
>form NGF
>form GER with AUS

>sphere Austria
>as soon as war ends and you form NGF/Germany or it becomes sp it becomes KuK before join event triggers
>0% to fully join

You just can't unpaused it after they take the peace deal

Let me see that....hmmm.
Yup,its doable that way.
5% only still.

Also now that i think about it what happens if you do that German hegemony brotherly war and Austria becomes sp?

I'm not sure but I think the CB just disappears from the war, so you should have at least 2/3 of the south german minors sphered when you attack them so you can either add a wargoal on the sphereling itself or sphere them normally if they didn't join

Yeah id assumed as much.
All in all its going to be worth around 60 infamy so might as well arm up vs whole Europe.

If you're too retarded to pirate without getting buttfucked don't assume everyone else is too

>waah I can't make my GP nation even easier

>making an event nearly impossible for anyone except people who check event files
If it was standard 10% or so i wouldnt give a damn.

>waaahh I can't gobble up another GP just by sphering them, the chances are too low

>waah I'm complaining about GPs because my meme nations are too hard

>impossible unless you do it on a single exact day
>its so low people dont know its possible
Dont be such a baiting faggot laddie

It shouldn't be possible at all

Yet Napoleon gobbled up so much non-French land its comical.
What about Hapsburg Spain or Netherlands? What about Burgundy?

R8 m8s.

1/2

shift f12 map pls

Try to take Indochina as well, gives you lots of soldier pops/ Also try to take Hainan and Taiwan through unequal treaties

And 2/2.

Should I finish Mittelafrika by raping Portugal over the next few decades or just let them be?

Let them be, it makes your borders look better than just one ugly blob

Here you go, famalam.

Pretty good, but you need to expand into the Orient and maybe the carribean

Here are my suggestions

>comparing a-h to the Napoleonic wars
Full retard

epic grossgermania preussens gloria xd

>40 years is a long time
>meanwhile whole Europe gets liberal uprisings due to Napoleonic Wars

>African expansion
While it would be nice to connect my African lands, I think the most I'll do is take the rest of the Gold Coast and Volta and Togoland to make a nice and neat section of West Africa.

I like the rest of those suggestions, especially Kaisermania.

Why is it impossible in CK2 to add wargoals in a defensive war?

I hate going through the effort of winning a war and then getting nothing from it, and having to wait 10 years for the opportunity to get anything.

you don't have to wait 10 years.
in ck2, truces only affect the attacker.

Oh do they? I never noticed that. Can you declare war with mercs up?

yes

>old thread sitting at 693 replies
>there's two new threads
I fucking despise all of you

r8 my yurop

Which one?

More provinces means higher cost (50 adm and 20 ducats at most) but those provinces get the bonus (less unrest and dev cost, more production, tax, and manpower)

platos elsyia

>balkanized Russia, France and Italy
I like. How does east asia look like?

It's alright, I guess?

When does this thing usually collapse?

All provinces

>my game is 1204
>I'm playing Georgia

Shit when is this guna start?

r8 pls lads I spent a lot of time getting these borders

Depends of the option you've choose for the mongol invasion date.

Around 1220 i think

Pretty shit desu lad.

>cropping out your country yet not cropping out yor parties
>4/5
>importing liquor
It's shit

I'm not seriously playing as Hungary, this is a CSA game

Sure thing

If the choice was historical or ahistorical I would have chosen historical. If it was dynamic I probably would have chosen that instead though.

Thanks.

Is that the needle gun?

No

What gun is it then?

Meme gun
