/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Political discussion unrelated to the games belongs on /pol/.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Join up MP lads

...

Thanks mate

is it just me or is Pope too irrelevant in ck2? playing as a catholic nation I was expecting him to be a major pain in the ass, but he does pretty much nothing all game, I give him 200 gold to keep free investiture every once in a while, but thats it

why are all these parties so shit
I should have let louis-napoleon win

eventually I want to go commie as early as possible, like 1880 I think is when the ideology is enabled, and I guess I just have to have lassiez faire to build my industry until then, even though that's the opposite of what you should do which is government first and then free market later game

also this anti military is killing me I need fucking mil spending to get soldiers

It's one of the biggest flaws in CK2 desu, there just isn't much to religion besides who holy wars who.

>French republic
Utterly plebeian

hey boys what happened to the archive with all the games

Steamcordplaza (the people spamming in the last thread) reported it until it got taken down

Pretty sure it was /gsg/ just memeing with the vast majority of that spam.

instead of adding fantasy stuff with the latest expansion they should add more to the actual real religions

...

oh piss they have all their stupid fucking german confederation allies too

prussia is actually more OP than NGF because all these little shitholes can use their nfs and mobilize

fucking shit

if anybody finds some good rip with all the dlcs let me know

He can fuck your day if you're non christain. Also, you can use him to do anything you want if you're an emperor, but I suppose you already know that.

of eu4 I mean

...

I just wish he was more of a threat and authority, especially if you are a minor kingdom, the constant conflicts with papacy had a huge impact on medieval history, its a shame he is such a tame figure in ck2

Would be neat if he intervened in things like wars, one of the Holy Roman Emperors ended up grovelling in the snow for forgiveness from the Pope at one point IIRC

>not declaring war on lübeck to pay denbts so you only have to fight them and prussia

I think the hastebin in the OP has that

I fucked something up, but I should be in in 8 minutes

oh shit

I am fucking stupid thanks

Henry II got publicly lashed over the whole business with Thomas Beckett

As much as I generally dislike the legacy of the conqueror, many of the Plantagenets were effective and interesting rulers.

Fuck I'm so sorry, 5 more mins and for sure I'll be good

fucking 107 stack with NO ATTRITION

I wish NGF had formed first aaaaaaaAAA

>one of the Holy Roman Emperors ended up grovelling in the snow for forgiveness from the Pope at one point


Can you explain this?

is there any mod that turns excise tax in victoria II into an actual tariff?

>wrong checksum
Fuck, is the lobby still open or did it start already?

Luxemburg united with flanders? wtf

Just started, sorry.

>Literally just got it to work
fuck

Can you rehost? I can wait for a de sync otherwise

would also be cool if characters all had some kinda piousness trait, and the really pious ones would support popes decisions over yours, so you could have like a guelphs and ghibelines conflicts amongst your own nobility

holy shit this might be winnable christ that was painful
they'll accept peace now but I don't know if I dare to do an add state goal

I took limburg and wallonia, not lux and wallonia, when I went to war with belgium early, because I wanted good borders. I can just annex flanders later on. I didn't want the rest of zeeland, just limburg.

cross posting cuz ya'll are crazy cats

Add state and NGF will form automatically
But take rhineland anyway for natural borders
