Happy Holiday lads.

youtube.com/watch?v=78LuJa_cKjI

Should I become the EU and blob Europe or expand my intermariums with other puppets and Russian hating nations?

merry christmas /gsg/

should I care about armored cars?

When Capncold stops playing Kaiserreich

Leaf, explain what happened in Alberta, its supposed to be the best province but elected the cucked orange party

why?

They upgrade extremely poorly and rarely.

You should care about Artillery and 36 cav that needs no oil.

if you use armored cars, yes

if you used Eng brigades, maybe, there are two secret weapons technologies for Eng that require armored cars of 36

FUCK YOU

What the fuck, I elected the meme Socialist Pope yet the French still hate me and wont let me join

> that needs no oil
I'm swimming in oil lad

When are parakikes going to make goyfour good?
hoi3 and darkest cuckolder are old peices of shit

What's the deal with asians JUSTing themselves?

French will never EVER let you join.
Then feel free to give tanks to Infantry.
Its Gommies. They simply hate Xmass.

So, what am I suppose to as Meme Papacy?

do you know what game he has planned for mp today

Lads please respond this is important

...

>When you have the sickest Germaniums but the game keeps crashing at 1880

No, probably busing celebrating christmas or playing KR.

Nothing fancy, Pope choices dont matter too much except for minister modifiers. Also dont you want to conscript battle nuns with women in army?

Show us?

Is Magna Mundi for EU3 still a thing or is it dead?

Its dead for years but you can play the half finished one?

...

...

Yugoslavia Romania Baltic duchy and Slovakia are mine ngl

GIVE ME MP OR GIVE ME DEATH

how do i create an industry as russia

>the half finished one
is that the one that's called something else

I've been meaning to download MEIOU desu

Good for you laddie.

t. gayreek

What does /gsg/ think of this post-war Europe?

Fuck off to plebbit

Where's my fellow wargamer bro? How am I doing? Did you get WitP?

>2nd in industry
>2nd in military

Wrong thread

>have Navy at forcelimit
>build a whole bunch of shipyards
>this causes my naval tradition to start dropping
10/10 design.

Did he deserve it?

MP When?

He did

Other wargamer here. Too bad /wgg/ is dead.

>tfw I dreamt about EvW
IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR

Everything is awful but the game

>Hungarian literacy

>Stuart

Yes.

Same senpai, In my dream I had managed to build a strong Titoist bloc going from Italy, Austria to Greece

I just tag switched to Germany and Hitler's still the leader of the fascists. Himmler's still around as an advisor too.

what ethnostate should I play as in vic2?

>No navy

Get clergy/intellectuals to 4% in your big states. When you have time, sneak in some of the middle column culture techs, especially Biologism.
Get reforms that boost ed. efficiency (schools, outlaw serfdom/peonage/child labor)

Yeah

Ok, I made a commie Nova Scotia flag. The two hands come from its CoA, with an added red star.

Usually I'd be against using the Cross of St Andrew on a flag since it's a religious and royal symbol, but it worked too well with the other elements so I decided to take a licence with it anyway.

Oh, I forgot the most important part.
Put liberals in power for the power of lazy fairy after the literacy is acceptable

Odd.

tyvm appreciate it.

Went back to my fascist America and I noticed Mussolini took back power in post-war Italy and is asking to join my new fascist faction. What do?

No, go full gommunism.

Ctrl+click
Shift+click

There, there is your economy

How do I even play M&T

It's so fucking overwhelming desu

give me some good tips lads

W&B

Join it. Mussolini probably has a new plan.

Generally, that's the strategy for any populous but illiterate country to get industry.
In one Russia game, I had nearly the same industry score from workers as Germany in 1936 and my industry only really started in ~1880.

Fail and learn on repeat.

But that output efficiency.

heres a tip
get meiou and talex 2.0

>Hungarian literacy
>he can only play with 80% North Germans meem

And here's Commie Scottish Haiti. It uses the symbol of the Communist Party of Scotland.

Yeah m8, the output efficiency will matter so much when you are building clipper factories in 1880

Fake af

Could be cool if this turns out like neo-Napoleonic wars like Fascist parties across Europe are just the new Bonapartists that get removed from power, then come back and start another war.

What if Hitler's imprisoned on Taiwan

Hello, bro. How are you doing today? It's shame we are among plebeians and riffraff.

David Duke on suicide watch.

>utorrent
The only pleb here is you

So, in CK2, as a former-pesant revolt now King. What should my goals be? Should I be gentle towards my roots?

Doing great. Considering getting WitP too but I still struggle with WitW/WitE.

You laugh, but then the late game electronics factories come out and earn literally thousands of pounds a day.

thesun.co.uk/news/2464649/north-korea-kim-jong-un-banned-christmas-forced-to-celebrate-his-favourite-grans-birthday/

I only use armored cars for motorized divisions desu

Probably question why the fuck Hitler is even at Taiwan and then start a invasion.

>it's a gary grigsby samefags episode
pathetic

Sorry, bro. Private tracker I use requires some old version of utorrent.

I have yet to play WitE, but I'm less interested in the land warfare (prefer naval and air) and even less interested in the eastern theater.

I did get WitW, but it's not very popular and harder to find an opponent for. Plus the turns are each an in-game week when run. I prefer day-long turns.

Will Johan hunt me down if I pirate his games for Christmas?

Merry Christmas /gsg/

Just buy it so you can sleep well

>Two Spain's
>Brits in Northeastern Spain
>Fucking Belgium in SW Spain
>France in Kaliningrad
>That Soviet-Romanian border
>USSR owns Istanbul and Eastern Anatolia
>USSR owns Southern Yugoslavia
>Somehow better than most HOI4 peace deals

But Mr. Johan I'm a poor person, doesn't your country love the poor and needy?

I've been thinking of getting into these games, what would you two suggest as a staging post between grand strategy and getting into war games, what are the most enjoyable & complete once?

These are some of my targets and allocations for my next round of invasions against my Japanese opponent. Thoughts?

>Sweden
Muslims dont celebrate Christmas

ahahha really funny man

without us, you wouldn't even be posting here and playing your liquor simulator

Yeah, but they don't like Jews. So they fine with pirating.

Depends what you're looking for. If it's a bit more grand strategy I'd say ageod games. For games like these gary grigsby ones here I recommend decisive campaigns.

>begging for mp

you lads realize its christmas right?

I have't played it yet, but I've heard good things about Matrix's Strategic Command. It stays high level while retaining a good amount of depth. You won't get lost in the details of day-to-day combat.

>matrixgames.com/products/504/details/Strategic.Command.WWII:.War.in.Europe

As a game that combined a good amount of high-level strategic depth and interesting tactical gameplay, I believe War in thee Pacific is the best. It has land, air, and sea warfare with extensive detail. Although the land combat isn't quite as in-depth as in War in the East, it remains interesting, but the game truly shines through naval and air combat. As Japan, you have the ability especially to make meaningful decisions as to your production and aircraft R&D.

I would recommend a game as the allies against the AI or a human opponent first before trying to take on the far-more-complex Japanese side. WitP is the most versatile of the series.
