>declare wear on UK as Shogun Japan for Southern Malaysia
>occupy all Malaysian provinces
>uk only blockades, never tries to invade
>warscore is stuck at -8 because of invasions, no score for occupying their provinces
>no ticking warscore for the occupied provinces
what gives?

4th for Codreanu

>going to war with the UK without any means to invade the home isles
newfags get out

>you have to invade 1000mi away from the territory you are occupying to claim ownership over it
ticking warscore works for crises' and acquire state CB's...

Red output for a factory, does that mean that factory is gonna be unproductive because of low demand? Is there anything that can be done to boost the price of steel? It's always a shit industry, and barely breaks even with bessemer steel.

I wanna play a Greek ruler during a time when the Eastern Roman Empire did not exist in CK2.
Which dates do I have available? 4th Crusade?

Make it a maintenence need for factories

Takes two years of holding 75% of the land before war score even begins to tick up. So for example Netherlands and Belgium. It takes 2 years before Netherlands gets ticking warscore against UK for holding Belgium. It takes three more years after that until it gets large enough to get a white peace. It also resets whenever a CB is added by you, or potentially your side in the conflict.

>Fascism automatically takes over if their party is already in power
So was I just wasting my time switching parties over and over to increase militancy this whole time? Did this actually delay fascism or was it going to happen on the current year regardless?

W&B.

>4th Crusade
Yes. Epirus, Nicaea and Trebizond are all independent Greek ERE successor states (in HIP; in vanilla a rump ERE takes the place of Nicaea).

Yeah it just showed up, thanks

HPM can you make it so Turks can accept Azeris, especially if they can accept the albanians and bosniaks already

the fighting has been rough, and in tough conditions which favours the americans and their rail links to the farms and factories of the east coast, however our armies show a clear edge in the field and we've sucesfully diverted most of the opposition further north while holding our defensive line in the mountains, reinforcements have been sent by steamer from japan, they are expected to decisively shift the tide if the campaign goes as expected.

4th Crusade is so close to end date though fuck.
Is there an earlier start date I can go for?

They already can tho

I said I'd post my Europe after dismantling Austria-Hungary so here it is

Is the new version of HPM not working for anyone else?
For some reason its giving me the vanilla version

There is a Greek trade republic in "Neapolis" (Naples) in the earlier start dates. Playing at one of the later dates isn't that bad though, since you should be the most powerful kingdom/empire in the world within a century or two, unless you are complete. Trebizond in the Trebizond start date in HIP is really fun. Pic related is a game I did a while back, right before I reformed the ERE.

It's working for me
You probably put it in the wrong place

where should it be?

What mod? HPMeme doesn't have Occitania.

>Oh, and I nearly forgot: blob into other human kingdoms after uniting the Empire and force the local rulers to become Sigmarite for a bonus roleplay.

But that practicaly prevents you from having wizards as your generals. They don't last long in withc hunter saturated enviroment.

Is having a king tier title and having only merchant republic vassals, while using the business focus (+20 relations with merchant/burgher vassals) considered comfy?

...

Give me goals for Austria in EUIV?

I want a strong empire I guess and total Catholics.

Neapolis actually sounds like it might be interesting. Never played a republic that wasn't either Venice or custom made.
I'll look at a count in Trebizond too my man, thank you.

Historical borders, catholic empire, no heretic princes

Restore the (Holy) Roman Empire

>Give me goals for Austria in EUIV
Picking a country that will not end up with retarded, non-sense, atrocious borders seems a good goal to me desu

conquer all of the balkans

form that empire baby

I have been playing a 3 day Stellaris multiplayer game with my girlfriend and we have slowly been taking on the rest of the galaxy trying to build up our territory + fleets to be able to fight the awakened fallen empire.

The unbidden were pretty easy, she got psi jump drives a day before me and I was using hyperlanes. It took fucking for ever for me to get anywhere with hyperlanes.

I decided to build synthetics on all of the new planets the I colonized/conquered because they get a 20% increase to everything and it has propelled by energy credits/minerals/research output past hers.

The leviathans DLC is pretty meh I wouldn't recommend buying it. The creatures you fight aren't anything special and the curators don't provide any benefits worth $10bux - maybe get it on special and don't be a cuck like me.

One thing I hate about /gsg/ is that if you play the games all day and then go out into the real world I feel like I have a +20% autism buff. We went to the supermarket to buy groceries to make dinner and I felt strange. After we finish up this game I'm gonna take a break from gaming for a while.

They can but only if you have Azeri cores.

Make sure you conquer Armenia or Tabriz first.

>>>/civ4xg/

>Stellaris
>>>/civ4xg/

ARGH wtf, they released a new update today that made it so you can't build synths on sectors and the sector AI have to do it for you. Fucking gay.

in what game

>Stellaris
>buying DLC from Paradox
and I also recommend uninstall.exe

wrong thread

Oh sorry, I haven't been here since when Stellaris released.

The reinforcements have arrived, and while the americans are pushing pack harder than expected things are going as planned.

The american strategy of shipping in as many men and material as it can from the east to the railheads at denver and fort benson and from there engaging our superior forces in as many areas as possible to spread them thin and wear them out is seeing quite a bit of success, nonetheless we have steadily secured more and more important mountain passes and forts, while pushing an american pocket north of the columbia river. the reinforcements will head directly across the desert to engage an american expedition across the rio grande while we focus on steadily pushing every front.

how do I do korea in vic2?

Austria has excellent borders.

build steel factories

how do i civilize before being assraped by France and japan

>Austria has excellent borders

encourage bureaucrats

OP didn't specify, this is officially Austria-Hungary edition.

and one of those fronts the winning move might have been made, after repelling an attempt to break through the pass at rock springs an unopposed detachment is advancing on fort laramie. the americans know that with fort laramie commands a decisive hold over the foothills of the rockies and would instantly threaten the railheads, cutting off the forces s west of the continental divide and should denver ever be captured we would have instant access to the dense rail networks of the midwest, an army could be in chicago within a week of capturing the railyards in denver and washington within a month of that.

fearing this, they've opened talks, negotiations should take some time though they'll probably be wrapped up by the end of the year, with the events on the battlefield between then and now deciding just how favourable a treaty we'll be able to get

Are you Greek, user?

Strasserist user not again

So I'm really enjoying EU4. How do the other grand strategy games compare? Pretty much between CK2, HoI3, and Victoria 2 I think, if I want to try another?

EU4 is the closest one, complexity wise.
Victoria 2 is my favorite and regarded by many to be the best, ignore the liquor memers.
HoI3 is insanely fun if you're autistic like _____me_____

Play a real game like Vic 2

Ah turns out I'm not just autistic, I'm also generally impaired.
I mean CK2 instead of EU4 of course.

EU3 is actually better than EU4 in a lot of ways anyway, so you might want to see if you have a preference between the two.

HoI isn't really similar to EU, but you will recognize a lot of Vicky and CK2. Vicky is more "restrictive" in some ways. In CK2 you play as a dynasty rather than as a state, but it's more fun than it sounds.

What is /gsg/'s opinion of Florida?

That's Italy

shit state but that is a picture of italy

Roma Invicta

Thanks guys, I think I might buy Victoria 2 on the sale coming up and some EU4 expansions

I live in Florida so I can tell that's actually Greece

DELETE THIS NOW

It's a fucking BOOT dumbass

That's obviously denmark flipped upside down, retard

That's Iberia, dummy

>Posts Korea
>Asks about Florida

...

Found the redditor

Florida is pretty great but this is a map of Brazil

by new years eve the delegates in chicago are ready to put pen to ink, during the negotiations japanese forces succeeding in capturing the railheads at denver and fort van buren, cut off from resupply the final american offensive, aimed to dislodge the mountain's defenders faced utter annihilation and our forces stand ready at the front to push across the wide open plains, we won a big victory!

>encircled units in vic 2 still receive supplies
explain this

>not going above the infamy limit and annexing half the US
lad..

smuggling :^)

unironically best state. No gay ass income tax, Publix, Aligators, and entertainment is any form is everywhere in the state.

How do you stop the Russians from fucking you up as Sweden in EU4?

By the time I'm done with my independence war, they've already gobbled Novgorod and Lithuania collapses to rebels.

Dibersity is our strengtd :-DDDD

>EU4

I've never seen this much deus vult

You use Sweden's OP national ideas and defeat them.

gitgud

All the Dachas are in Vladivostok.

Anyone know the event id for to change national value to liberty in HPM?

>post napoleonic armies had no concept of foraging
hmm

Is there something special I can do with Razorback of Dinosaur Rampage or do I just kill him?

Don't bully, just answer me.
