/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

>buying games

No fucking idea.
Encircled a bunch of them,but I don't know where is the rest.
According to intel we are even by number of divisions.
But the Siberians outnumber me.
But I don't know what the Siberians are doing or where the fuck they are.

>Get bored and try to roleplay in v2 a bit
>Mod a scenario where the Egyptian copts get genocided by Egyptian muslims while they're having their war of independence against the turks
>Reduce Coptic population by 80% via event, rest of 20% escape to Palestine (By using "move_pop") and team up with Syriacs, Sephardis and Druze to create their own state

>"move_pop: Moves the targeted pop to the specified province. There have been issues encountered with this effect, such as having the moved pop automatically join up with pops of the same religion even if they're not the same culture. Use with caution"

>All my copts become syriacs
>Manually change all Syriacs to Orthodoxy so it doesn't happen again
>It works

Now I can finally pla-
>Encourage soldiers
>Notice that only the province of Beersheba can spawn soldier pop types
>Start from the beginning once again, this time turning ALL coptic pops into soldiers with "pop_type = soldiers" before sending them to the provinces of Palestine except for Beersheba just to see what happens
>They all get sent to the specified provinces
>reload game
>all of the soldiers are now in Beersheba
>Start again, remove Beersheba from the event which spawns my Palestine
>They all get sent accordingly
>reload game
>THEY'RE ALL PILED UP IN FUCKING GAZA NOW
>try to add the soldiers manually to each province by editing the save file
>THEY STILL GET SENT TO GAZA AS I RELOAD THE GAME

THIS IS FUCKING BETHESDA TIER, WHY DID EVERYONE LET THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT DEVELOPER TO MONOPOLIZE THE ENTIRE GRAND STRATEGY GENRE?

THE FACT THAT WE ARE PROBABLY WITNESSING THE APEX OF POPS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO REASON TO IMPROVE IT DUE TO THE RETARDS THAT WILL BUY AND GARGLE ALL THE SHIT PARADOX WILL THROW AT THEM IS MAKING ME EVEN MORE FUCKING AGNRY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Are you retarded? That's a PDM change. That's what you get for playing a meme mod.

>immoral buisness
Okay ChristCuck

>plays PDM
>waaah why are all my soldiers in a single province

>immoral buisness

I will just cheat so they accept my will.
There is no point to continue the fight.

>Coptic-Syriac-Druze-Sephardic multinational state
>led by a monarchy with a specific state religion
>in Palestine mid 1837, before the Oriental Crisis
>it can field a larger army than the Ottomans and is more densely populated than Prussia
>it exports shoes en masse and has boots as its main import

What the fuck
Explain this

>I never cheat in gsg

This is divergences.

>I have almost zero manpower, but I won guys because I captured Moscow!

How do I play Geheimnisnacht

Is there even any point in playing Asur? Are there guides? I cant access paradox mod forums and the mod is just weird as shit

>spend 5000 books and countless hours training my cleric to max level
>have him converting a christian province to the religion of peace
>he dies immediately
wew

Better than stoping at Leningrad
Or Pskov
Or any other dumb city.

>Coptic-Syriac-Druze-Sephardic multinational state

Lads I'm bored of HoI IV, my first gs.

What should I play next between HoI III and Darkest Hour?

The Ottomans and Egypt aren't that ahistorical in Divergences.

>What should I play next between HoI III and Darkest Hour?
Liqqy.

The fuck memes are you autists on about? Something do with that not NNM vicky mod.

DH requires less autism to bridge between HOI IV.

>Something do with that not NNM vicky mod.
what did he mean by this?

You can say it's for casuals like HoI4 is.

What do?

>>Coptic-Syriac-Druze-Sephardic multinational state
A S C E N D E N T

VicII era is not really my favourite but I plan on playing it at some point.

What's the post-ww2 game like in DH? Is it cool Cold War proxy wars and stuff?

>DH with KR
>for casuals
No, it simply requires less autism, because the OOB is intimidating to newbies.

The british be damned. You, Italy, and Czechoslovakia would easily roll over germany

>is it cool
Just give it a try.

Yes, DH with KR is even more for casuals. It's barely a strategy game, it's more like a visual novel.

"okay"

Yes

Support your friends

what game is this and is it as bad as it looks?

It has great looks map is just always a clusterfuck

It's got to the point where I no longer find joy in playing regular scenarios.

uninstall.exe

Due to the nature of /gsg/ I can't tell whether you're being nice and implying good stuff or being the usual 'lol fucking noob playing shit game' that happens here.

knights of honor

I'd say it's good but the thing is that you're basically asking 'but is it good right fun', at which point the best response I can give is "I think it's worth a try if you don't like it the worst that can happen is you know not to play it anymore"

Lacks Finnish ancestral lands of Mongolia though.

why can't you make a niche and peaceful country in every gsg game? is conquest and blood the only way of "winning" them?
I hate waging war, betraying allies and commiting assassinatons

He's being nice.
t. 4chin psychology pro

There's no victory condition other than reaching the end year.
So you can make a niche peaceful country in all of them.

just get everyone to proclaim your independence and then you can live as a true Rhodok

is the new ck2 shit update going to do anything lads

Ok thanks!

Thank you.

but the only way to progress is to be an asshole
yeah, I always try to get on everyone's good side but you can't always please all of them
moreso, sometimes you can make a nation angry by making another one happy

welcome to realpolitik... kid...

*annexes ur good provinces*

*warns u*

i'll be back in 10 years...

>but the only way to progress is to be an asshole
The point of Paradox GS games is that there's no such thing as progression. I mean if you mean 'getting bigger'by progression then um yeah no shit other people are not going to hand their countries to you.

haha look at that anime's

Whats the differences from HoI3 to DH? Could I pick up DH instantly knowing HoI3?

This is easily done in Vicky II, less so in EU4 and impossible in Goy4.

Jewish secret plotters

Opinion on isorrows?

V2, EU3 and CK2 all allow for this

His royal Highness , Ruler of /gsg/, lord protector of quality threads, knight of the holy order of HPM, champion of his benevolent holiness Alex Grandi, R&I, the first of his name.

It's not that hard in EU4.

You're retarded m8

are there any good grand strategy games set in the Caribbean seas or oceans? i wanna play as a naval commander or privateer and I cant seem to find any game that allows that with a good strategy element thats similar to Sid Meiers Pirates, but worried more about trade routes and the economy of the seas.

>but the only way to progress is to be an asshole
Only if your definition of "progress" is getting bigger. You can develop your country, make diplomatic deals, become a trade empire etc.

you're rude boi

start in the 17th century eu4 and create a custom nation in the caribbean

Bumping this guys question.

I was Darkest Hour question guy from earlier.

DME custom campaign as pirates

>just as we're winning Benito is cucking me

Also not sure why they made Petain the leader of a non-Vichy France. They could've just used the actual leader of the Francist Movement...

DH has far less combat depth but much more diplomacy/political depth

>instantly
No.
>quickly
Yes, it has a better diplomatic / political game but lacks OOB and some combat depth.

o shit it makes the eyes disappear, guess this is the best I can do

The same bullhorn is present w/ communist Germany too. Your leader is called Stalin's puppet even if you weren't puppeted.

>reasonably blob, only take the left bank and release Austria
>Italy does this

Also should I take Belgium and Luxembourg as well?

Dismantle Italy
