/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Old thread

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

W H I T E

white and based

>march of the eagles
Why is this meme game in?

reminder to peepee poopooposting

t. chink

>t. chink
what did he mean by this

Reminder to enjoy and appreciate funposting.

because it's grand strategy. Better than the outdated OP the other new thread used.

is it updated?

Is what?

the South Africa mod?

It's still on that release version, so no. I can't wait for him to update because he's adding a Boer state from start, so you don't have to meme as the UK.

I've recently read that the House of Savoy isn't that well liked among Italians.

Why not?

Was it fundamentally impossible for you to use the updated infopic I posted last thread, you autistic faggot?

>chinese
>white

I did, I just removed the non grand strategy games.

>because it's grand strategy.
Shit meme tb h. Half the people in /gsg/ don't even think EUIV is /gsg/, ditto for wargames like GOIIV, HOIIIII, MOTE, and so on. Meanwhile the effective difference between "4X" and "Grand Strategy" is so nebulous that people honestly think a game must be historically set on Earth and broadly follow historical developments, or else it is not "Grand Strategy." In my personal view, the only 4X games that aren't also GS are games that simply don't bother to have any kind of plausible consistency, like the Civ series (lel Washington fighting Ghandi in 2000BC xDD). Meanwhile, I don't see how SM's Alpha Centauri couldn't be called GS even though mechanically it's a near clone of Civ 2.

>chiang siding with Opium War lads when he's going for the white nationalism route
Are you high?

>I just removed the things I didn't like
End yourself.

It's in honour of that one Chink we have who made the OP, unless he turns out to be a shitposter like all the other second and third worlders.

But I'm from the PRC and not the RoC, and I'm not interested in this 'let's ban people who don't post games set in areas I don't like' shit. It doesn't make sense, trying to enforce it is like trying to enforce a hugbox. Get rid of them if they're shitposting, sure.

I mean the steamcordplaza members from Eastern Europe and South America, like Gruica. Britain, America and China are the only good posters we have.

Is PRC actually close to national socialism?

is NWO mod for victoria 2 a decent mod?

Just say shitposters then, it makes more sense and gets a clearer message across that's also more consistent with site policy.

In what sense, ask me a policy question and I'll try to answer.

Proper thread

>still using the old and fucked up infopic I spend half of last thread fixing
You fucked up, wait for next thread.

thanks, we really needed a fourth thread

Use this image next time. Thanks.

>In what sense, ask me a policy question and I'll try to answer.
In that it's nationalist while also socialist, rather than the internationalist commie types.

Can you imbeciles actually put in the work to create your own infopics if you're going to mangle mine?

animefags kys

That's far too fucking vague for me to give an answer on. Consider that the very concept of nationalism in the western sense is utterly foreign to China historically. as well as culturally and is literally forced.

>autist posts the thread ~50 early just to get rid of what he doesn't like
fucking epic, off yourself

"Questionable" ways of unifying Italy and making way for Fascist Italy it seems.

And now R&I has posted ANOTHER fucking thread using a different infopic he went full autist over and caused the reversion to the outdated infopic in the first place
Fucking ten thousand hells.

>Half the people in /gsg/ don't even think EUIV is /gsg
People just think it's shit, everyone agrees it's grand strat.
Same with MoTE, now fuck off with your autistic and incorrect definitions of GSG

>I'm from the PRC
>people are actually unironically trusting a communist chinaman with the Infopic
epic, frankly

Sengoku Rance and LLTQ are unironically both more complex and difficult than any paradox game, including Hoi3.

Maybe they should've gotten off their fucking asses and done it themselves since the old infopic before I edited it the first time was outdated by 2+ years.

>Dänish king is a distant relative of mohammed and declared germanic jihad against England.
>He also has a weak claim on the umayyad Empire which just took south france
This is going to be a fun game, I make sure to monitor this guy, help him to reconquest Spain and convert the filthy sunnis to the true germanic faith.

LADS I'M HAVING A PARADIGM SHIFT ATM

IS IT BYZAN-TIME OR BYZAN-TEEN

It's the eastern roman empire you filthy barbaroi

Buy zunt eh um

I will murder your entire dynasty

I'm wondering if, for the text of a historically-based flavor event, I should just describe what happened historically (as in the Asmara event there), or be more vague to give more leeway for the game's alt-history, so leave out stuff like the last part about the population, because it might not reflect the in-game population?
What do you lot prefer? I think the historical description style is consistent with HPM

>eastern
>not just roman empire

oh yeah, i remember rome spanning from britannia to egypt, not the roman empire, just fucking rome
you retard

The letter is actually V not B.

>somehow R&I's thread exploded in autism and shitposting while this one is legitimately better
huh

proper thread

Ironic desu
He also personally made 2 fucking threads concurrently

So is this a france minimod style wankmod or just a flavor mod?

Oh wow. I didn't even know that this girl was actually mine. That means Barid died childless, lol.

Mostly autsimal historical flavor for colonial countries and a bunch of gameplay stuff for South Africa, like a boer country sans the Cape
Plus this, etc

Historical sounds better.
Also, are you going to change provinces/states in Africa? I want historical german africums borders to be possible
