/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

I swear to god I didn't cheat this shit in. HPM, what the fuck?

No that shit is fucking ridiculous. Whoever did it has no fucking idea how flags are supposed to work.

...

>lakes that are located in wastelands will never be discovered
this is extremely triggering

close your factories and have people work on farms and shit again, don't let industry threaten the old aristocracy and old order

Did you start a new game after completing a game that went in the 1900's but you did so without a full quit-to-desktop procedure?

Sure I can post some screens of it if you want. It got pretty boring when I completed my goals early though with a Mitteleuropa of Ukraine, Belarus and Baltics.

Where's Cobra when I'm trying to trigger him?

...

That's the reason then. If you start another game without a full quitting-to-desktop thing a few anomalies of the old game get carried over, like unlocked crimes and ideologies. If you do a full game restart everything will disappear, I'm not even sure there's a lasting effect.

There's no fascists anywhere else in the world though, literally just those 8% in London.

If internafional Judaism took hold of the 1789 French revolution and used it, ultimately, to transform society into one where moral standings and values are created and enforced by the people rather than long standing traditional systems, and thus lead us to the modern day where they influence said people and corrupt their minds and moral standpoints beyond repair then is the correct ideological standpoint for someone who wanted to overturn such a state of affairs to be a traditionalist monarchist, or, assuming the monarchy has been corrupted along with the citizenry, a reactionist fascist/national-socialist?

>no free cb on new world nations means there's very little colonial blobbing in the new world
>no free cb on asian/african nations means there's very little colonial blobbing in asia or africa
>stupid institution things combined with the ruler traits means some korean or japanese AI with the develop the shit out of my provinces trait is going to trigger the renaissance or something in asia and asian countries will be equal tech with europe
I want paradox to stop existing.

This fucking game.

Russia is a Bourgeois Dictatorship btw

quit to the desktop, start the game and load it again and see if they are still there
Let a full month pass before you check

>>no free cb on asian/african nations means there's very little colonial blobbing in asia or africa
1. There shouldn't be blobbing in Africa.
2. India has never been properly colonised by the AI because their inhouse MP games end by 1700.

Monarchy is never good.

>outtrading steel
Based. Upgrade the factories (until you're no longer exporting precious coal) and build those military factories. Get clean coal and the throughput/output techs to help this. Also, post factories.

Someone should make a mod for it, really.

Wrong.

I want a mod that removes the forced directional trade.

Reactionary government, simply because otherwise you'd have had to wait until the 1920's for fascism to be enabled.

Good goy. So you vote for the party with the red color or the blue color?

>all trade goes to europe
I like it. It's one of the few Eurocentric features left from (((Paradox))).

It's a bit of a fucking mess since I've only just gotten some economy techs to not have Ethiopia-tier starvation and I had zero money to spare to upgrade and expand.

I had one where they annexed persia, then proceeded to stomp russia.

Really Mexico? I thought they were going to call me in to slap America's shit.

Post industry and commerce techs.
>falling for the fucking liquor meme
for shame

>commie
>no money
100% taxes and tariffs, laddo. Make those white pig dogs lay for their inferior Korean steel.

Oh shit its a wild meme

>taxes
>not having a budding reactionary ethno-state built on the back of conquered land

Better than being forced into serving the one in purple.

Instead you serve the one in yellow.

Jesus it keeps happening, Sweden became an absolute monarchy too

>teaching people to read
>when they should be dying in yiur factories
What are you doing? Focus on metallurgy and mechanization, you need to become an industrial superpower and you don't do that with books.

Take them as a colony of the greater Korean Juche Republic

Done lad.
I need the +50% from biologism so I can prove the genetic superiority of the Korean people

Ayo afpg, you here? Do you have any ideas for a scottish flag with a great-britain-esque feel to it? As if instead of England, Scotland formed Great Britain?

Best Dutch borders right here.

>the message you get when you take it as a treaty port
>you didnt take it as a treaty port
hmm

HPM or PDM?

Wallonia should be French.

HPM

The yeehaw post is dramatically underrated. I feel like no one else even realizes what you're doing.

>literally just blobbed everything the Dutch had cores on
What's so good about that?

The whole island is the treaty """""port"""""

Agreed and I wish there was a treaty system in Vicky II so I could give France Wallonia in exchange for Egypt.

t. cheese-eating surrender monkey

That event triggers when you use the special CB "punitive expedition" on China, not when you use establish protectorate on Taiwan.

What is the best nation to form the Netherlands in EU4? What is a solid strategy? I can't seem to ever get started on doing something competent even though I've played so many different little fucks

Ally France.

Any uncivilized nation that owns treaty port (Such as Morocco) can have the punitive expedition CB used on them and it will always give a decision to take said treaty port, it worked for Taiwan and it was annexed totally. I didn't use establish protectorate.

does anyone remember that really easy persia westernization strategy that made for a really fun game

1x Respectfully Disagree

anyone have any advice on getting loaded playing Indonesia? I can't remember which country to start is recommended, but it sounded fun

Will you genocide the island niggers and make it 100% Korean?

I'm playing my first game as France in EUIV, it's good so far, I just need four provinces more to have all the france region, alliances with Castille and Aragon and Austria is not doing very well. The problem is Great Britain, the Irish nations and Scotland are over, I havr this big red Islands above me and they are my worst enemy, they have alliances with Moscovy and the ottomans so they have almost 300k troops I have 90k right now but U have enough money and manpower to have 150k plus my allies of Castille and Aragon we could have almost 200k tropps I also have a strong navy and It'll soon outnumber british navy. So the thing is I need an strategy to defeat them at war, my goal would be make them break their alliance with Moscovy and the Ottomans and then go to war again when they are not so strong, they are a huge threat right now and they are growing really fast. I'm an unexperinced player so I would appreciate some help. Also the year is 1600 if that helps.
Sorry for bad english

Vic II? Then Aceh. The Hainan treaty port gets you a lot of accepted pops.

how can i ban muslims and niggers from immigrating to my country like irl?

You can fucking smell the butthurt.

Such a shame, that would've been an entertaining league war. Oh well.

Where's our DPRK update, laddo?

This is fucking cancerous, lad. Why xouldn't you make it aesthetic?

I stopped for the day, I need to read a book desu. Only update is the Russia is the Soviet Union now and I'm preparing for war with China, planning on taking Heinan and releasing Fengtian so I can annex that properly for the Korean pops and lebensraum. Not sure if I can win tb h since all the GPs hate my guts and I have no allies.

I might genocide once but I need every pop I can get.

It'll look better when I annex Ragusa and Wallachia

Besides, this painting will eventually include all of the Balkans, give it a few decades

Is having a claim to Byzantium as the Doge while having enough cash to throw 20k mercs at it redpilled?

got CK2 and torrented all DLC

should I bother with the Leon tutorial, and whats a good intro nation

played EU3, EU4, HOI3, and HOI4 before this.

Jesus, Ottomemes, USSR, if you get China you'll be set up for a good HoI conversion.

alri Dandolo

What makes for better borders? Also what would give me an easy way to interfere as soon as CSA pops up?

War some minor fucker allied with any one of them to try and drag a single one into the war to pick off their allies that way.

>they caved in

Believable worlds.

If you had helped Mexico refute MD, then full Oregon. Otherwise, normal.

as who? holland? help them rape burgandy for me?

You should have released Maritime Provinces at the start of the game, so you cuck them out of another province and it looks better TBQVHFH

Sorry I meant EU4. someone in the last thread mentioned it

>tribals are bad next to hordes and blobs
>holy war'd to death no matter what religion by one blob or the other from 865, probably 1066 as well
>have to expand beyond the de jure kingdom to be able to survive piss in the wind
I'm under the impression a satisfactory mod will never happen on its own and that paradox won't "fix" the bolghars unless it's a side-note for a russia-centric dlc that will probably only focus on the de jure area directly west of volga bulgaria anyway

See lad that's the problem with actually knowing things. That's why I prefer to get my information about history in meme form, mainly from /pol/

what happens if you release the maritime provinces?

My plans are to help CSA win, take California to remove Pacific access, and force them to release New England. Not sure if I can have a MegaCanada of Oregon + California + New England.

I'd be happy if they just used mordvin clothes, or if the turkish women in CK2 looked like the kind of aliens shatner would fuck.

t. bulgarian still assmad that his ancestors were literally the ancestors of the turks
