/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

It's still a bad map, you neurotypical idiot

...

It's the image from before R&I got butthurt about War in the East
Because Gary Grigsby games are grand strategy, he used the right image

Why is this r&i so assbergers?

The whitest and basest man that ever lived.

At least update it then, lots of dlcs are missing.

>The 'Soviet Union' holding only Siberia being allowed or able to hold onto all of Turkestan
'No'

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

wow r&i have you lost your edge? you used to be right on time every time, but now you're only the third post?

this is all he has in his life

That's the old infopic, lad.

>Reminder to report and shit ignore posting

Sorry lads but my harddrive crashed and I lose the mp saves

Looks like we didn't make it to 1900 :(

t.SIM

This one seems to be missing some games

>Reminder to report and shit ignoreposting

Literally useless steppe

no it isnt. this is a really outdated and shit image. here have the other one

...

Doesn't everyone have the save? Can't someone just upload their version?

Put the proper games in there and the OP will use it

t. not SIM

i still have the save retard

Saved

this, an updated infopic without R&I autism would be truly white and based.

>start BlackICE 8.6 as glorious USA
>one of the first decisions is to enact a 5 year plan and collectivisation of the farmlands

WTF ?

What's the ruling on making cultures of your culture group accepted? Is it worth the 100 diplo?

Especially when you're eventually gonna unify that culture.

EU4 has decided not to let me take screenshots

possibly becasue my ally was just attacked by 15 different nations, nobody else helped, and peace was broken by giving away big chunks of my land but nothing from them

fuck small allies, either i ally a super power or nobody

Holy shit is that in normal Kaiserreich or is it a custom event?
If the former I gotta play a CSA run

the ruling is uninstall.exe

mp when?

>not releasing a based independent großTurkestan

How am I doing as the Zulu? Westernized before China and all of Africa (Save Liberia, of course). Also, the world in this campaign is turning out fucky. I can post map shots if you want.

It's a custom event, some guy in the Paradox forums made an AAR about a merciful, socialist democratic CSA.

I'm gonna fucking go mental lads, these two events work when in different files but if I put event #2 in the first file, it no longer works. No I idea why either. Kill me pls
None-meme answer is no, take the -15% hit, don't spend the 100 diplo, wait until you unify your culture.

42nd for the Zambezi is the natural border of South Africa.

Harris here, not sure if you saw it but I won't be able to play for an hour, don't wait for me though, I'll be there later

What are you going to do with the Griquas?

The blacks shall have no flavour events whatsoever, this mod is solely about the Whites in South Africa.

First version of a mod I'm working on
Planning on expanding flavor for all colonial Africa, but for now focuses entire on South Africa

pastebin.com/J75J3Hve
Just drag/drop onto your HPM install

Very early, still pretty WIP but should be perfectly functional as a little bit of extra stuff to do and see in a South Africa run
Any/all feed back and suggestions are appreciated, especially for neat little historical things to add

New flags courtesy of based AFPG

i meant I still had the save and I know that guy wasn't SIM

i may host if sim doesn't show up but probably not

You should delete some of your old saves and mods

Look again, it's independent in the second map

I hope HPM integrates this fully.

Not true, I'll be doing plenty on the various black groups and tribes

I'm not sure yet, I might go full autism and add in a bunch of nations in edited provinces with events to simulate them being subsumed into the larger powers in the area, or just gives flavor events/modifiers to represent them

Good meme
See

To tie my post in, what's the Boer opinion on the Zulu?

if a kingdom consists of two counties, surely one of the fuckers will eventually conquer the other to form their shitty kingdom?

>Start as ENG or an observer nation and wait until the trek state of your choice, either Natal or Transvaal, for events/decisions that will lead towards SAF unification
You should add Zoutpansberg in North East Transvaal on day 1, so you don't have to play 2 years as Britain.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoutpansberg
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boer_Republics#Boer_republics

Probably pretty shit but I guess they should be able to gather a temporary alliance if Zulu is still alive when the Boer War start.

Shit. No ethnic group in South Africa like the Zulu; they raped the country in the Mfecane and have always been hostile to the other groups. There's many reasons why KwaZulu almost became independent in 1994

I don't know why the AWB supported Bophuthatswana becoming independent. Can anyone enlighten me?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Bophuthatswana_crisis

>On 6 February 1838, two days after the signing of a negotiated land settlement deal between Retief and Dingane at UmGungundlovu, which included Trekker access to Port Natal in which Britain had imperial interests, Dingane invited Retief and his party into his royal residence for a beer-drinking farewell. The accompanying request for the surrender of Trekker muskets at the entrance was taken as normal protocol when appearing before the king. While the Trekkers were being entertained by Dingane's dancing warriors/soldiers, Dingane suddenly accused the visiting party of witchcraft and ordered his men: "Bambani aba thakathi!" (Catch the wizards!) Dingane's soldiers then proceeded to impale all Retief's men, lastly clubbing to death Retief
>Immediately after the UmGungundlovu massacre, Dingane sent out his impis to attack several Trekker encampments at night time, killing an estimated 500 men, women, children, and servants, most notably at Blaukraans.

Understandably, they had very little trust for the Zulus (or any other natives, they were in almost constant conflict). However, it's hard to find any sources that comment directly on what they thought of any one specific group. I don't think they had much contact with the Zulus after Blood River, the British were more concerned with them.
However, definitely of interest:
>Afrikaner Calvinism is a religious development among Afrikaners that combined elements of seventeenth-century Calvinist doctrine with a "chosen people" ideology...modern studies have argued that this gave rise to the Great Trek while serving to legimitise the subordination of other South African ethnic groups, laying the foundation for modern Afrikaner nationalism

They certainly didn't have any sort of blind hatred for Africans to the degree of being impragmatic, though, as they worked with native auxiliaries a lot.

That's a good idea, I'll include it in the next version.

This nigga crazy

Africamod guy what sources are you working with? I'd like some more reading on the subject of SA in the 19th century.

>inb4 wikipedia

What the fuck is this shit? Can someone make a proper thread, please?

THE GREAT AMERICA IS BACK TO IT'S GLORY

Are you a white supremacist or a /r/fullcommunism pro?

>outnumbered 2-1
>those casualties
Wew, they still got it

Anyway I think it's probably because the Bantustans, being a homeland for blacks, were as much a part of keeping blacks and whites separate as having a white land was

they thought that if the natives had their own countries, they would get their own as well. the transfer of power was literal chaos for a year and a half. documentaries can't even capture the full scope of anarchy in those years

I've been getting a lot of mileage out of Osprey books, particularly Boer Wars 1, from the good lads in /hwg/
>>Veeky Forums51096271
For info on the Griquas (yet to be implemented), I had an ancient Web 1.0 site that isn't up anymore unfortunately
There is this book, which is quite useful:
books.google.com/books?id=7ZqCCmHwsFMC&pg=PR13&lpg=PR13&dq=griqua population numbers&source=bl&ots=phbPHDBvA6&sig=qEhFoIlrTB3GrFkrYxAJa5a-L60&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiokpePodrKAhVCeT4KHRfUAMQQ6AEINDAH#v=onepage&q=griqua population numbers&f=false
As well as this strange site:
tokencoins.com/griqua2.html

Anything you have would be very useful, it's hard to find much on the subject

But yeah I used wikipedia a little bit

Just an autist, user

Based
Take the Maritimes
How did you not get Bangor?

>51,000 is half of 10,002
Dumb /pol/ack.

Do you not know how to count or read you dumbass antifa prick?
It's 5100, not 51,000

Dang, this guy is getting fucked from so many directions.

...

How will you accurately represent the superiority of the British in this mod? Sincerely, a Briton.

I know that the usurping the byzantine empire is good because of the born in the purple thing, but what about other empires? do they have any unique elements to them?

>woah dude im a centrist haha vote third party what is a leppo
Epic, my dude. You're either an elitest prick who wants to be edgy, an indecisive faggot, or both!

Rate my totally hilarious and original british empire

Love how once I figure out how to get the damn thing to fire, it all come together pretty quickly

...

Thanks based user, I'll look at the Osprey ones. Would you mind putting those in your pastebin for future reference?

>mfw arranging OdB in BlackICE US/Germany/Soviet/UK game
