/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.
Report and ignore it.

That's George V, lad. You want pic related.

How is march of the eagles

Google docs can have links to viruses, but you can't have a virus on a google doc itself

It also doesn't ask you to download anything

Anyone here play CWE?

Better than Distant Worlds.

>mfw Black Ice for HoI3

Wow. That's why films have producers, to tell the director's "no".

What are some essential /gsg/ AAR novels out there?

No, is it a good cold war sim?
press f to pay respects to evw

but I liked distant worlds

k lads

What do these mean? They're from the stream today.

I don't know. I can't quite seem to figure it out which is why I'm asking. Unlike base liqqy there are so many options I don't quite get what they do.

>liqqy
Fuck off, Steamcordplaza. If you want a discussion on games then fine, but stop spamming shitposter memes.

>everyone who uses liqqy is memegruppecordplaza

Where's part 2, 3, 4?

this, I wanna read it.

The term was made by them and is propogated by them to shit on Victoria 2, if you want to use a shorthand then just call it V2.

Liquor isn't even OP, it's just that grain provinces boost it's throughput, Steamcordplaza are so desperate to appear like le ebin elite gamers that they make these memes and say "xDxD LIQQY is 4 plebs im a hoi4 kiddo coz it has strategy"

>50 years before the HAPPENING
Or less if you count offtopic posts

>please stop using words that I don't like! My autism can't handle the triggering

You're using terms used by a known shitposting group, anybody else would simply stop using them, so I take it you must be in the Steamcord, or from /r/paradoxplaza, as anyone not from those groups knows how we've suffered under them.

Wrong thread, pal.

wtf is this supposed to be, what is the outcome if you choose to from the covenant

>seething this hard
kek now I know what terms I'll be using in the future

>anyone who does not bow to my autism is a shitposter and my autistic shitposting is not shitposting because reasons

Also, moving back onto my original on topic posts
Anyone know anything?

You sound like a /pol/kid shouting "s-shill! s-s-shill" every time someone makes a post that disagrees with them

Be honest, did you cheat?
That kind of pop growth is insane.

I don't think it's out yet but I did find him on reddit
reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/64lwnt/northern_lions_part_one_of_my_danish_megacampaign/

Is there a continuation to the danish one?

I got two disease events that would have instantly reduced my pop about 1-4% every time, and reloaded when that happened

pls post Hoi3 part

>literally staring at a map doing nothing for 100 years

Tell me what you did to get there. How many wars were in involved in?

Yes, that's Victoria 2.

>implying I didn't micromanage my industry as soon as I got the gommunists into power

Didn't get into a single war, just used clever ways to get most healthcare reforms enacted in the 50s (before socialism even got unlocked, it's possible but uncommon), got lucky and got an event that would give me two stages of the safety regulations reforms (the last stage gives you +0,01% to pop growth)

Used loyalty focus to get the communists in power, so I could focus on building profitable wine, liquor, oil and fuel factories.

Got lucky later on too, as I got 3 fascist welfare events, each one gives you +0,1% pop growth for a year or so

Krakow is actually a good country for this kind of tall memery, since you get events that raise your pop militancy and consciousness massively

>find CK2 and EU4 too simple and boring blob simulators
>find Vicky 2 and HoI 3 too complicated

I should have gotten into a single war to get a useless colony somewhere, that way the baby boom event could have fired for me (+0,5% in a random state for 5 years, iirc)

Another time maybe

Take the don't play grand stratey pill

If anything, Victoria is less complicated than EU4. The pop system is complicated, but most of it is automatic.

Writing it. Should be ready before June, unless I get severe case of Lazinessus Pospolitus

Vicky 2 has depressingly little to do during all the downtime you get in it.
I'm not saying they should bring back hardcore micromanagement from Vtr but I sure would love if pop managment was somehow more involved than setting up sliders at the start of the game and jerking off.

It seems like a lot of population management involves hundreds of random popups that are impossible to follow and really see your strategy.

I will never share my Karelian autism log on Reddit

Sure thing, reddit.

Wasn't talking about you gondola, I was talking about the Danish aar

Steamfix is enough to get DLC running, creamapi is for multiplayer I believe.

Crusader kings II if you blob too big you must have king vassal to continue blob.
That is when the fun begins.

play ck2 and only play gavelkind

create every king or duke level title possible

>three near identical replies
Guess this was shared on discord. I waited a bit for the raidcorps to disperse
Protip: When you call out /pol/ it's pretty obvious you're from the same group who made pic related.

didnt know muslims are so comfy

Annals of Asia Universalis has been updated for anyone else bored to tears waiting for M&T

>The term was made by them and is propogated by them to shit on Victoria 2, if you want to use a shorthand then just call it V2.
liqqys brought it on themselves

t. retard who doesnt understand rgos

What the hell is wrong with BlackICE 8.6 ?
I download it from Paradox Plaza, its 1.76 Gb so its not a simple patch, its not a HOI4 version or anything but it fucking refuses to start ..
And yes, i extracted it to a proper mod folder etc.

He's a dumb manapro

>china has less manpower than iraq
Believable fucking worlds.

Does the EU to V2 converter account for developement? You'd have millions of people if so.

>start a question about the actual game
>obviously memegruppecordplaza because some autist took offense at a single word even though memegruppecordplaza would have just put it in a completely irrelevant shitpost
>autist continues to autshitpost
Bravo. This is why the general is shit.

>question about the actual game
>leliqqy leliqyy xDxD
Pick one, Steamcordplaza.

>complain about people shitting up /gsg/
>shit up /gsg/

what the FUCK does this mean

I dunno man, my posts
look like questions about the game to me. Fuck me for attempting to have an actual discussion instead of an autistic shitposting fest, right?

>turkey just sent an ultimatum to cyprus

Holy fuck why do we get to have these guys for neighbours why couldn't we have belgium or denmark instead.

>Does the EU to V2 converter account for developement?
I wonder what the best way to do that would be.

>
(Development-#Provines*3)*X=Population
"-#Provines*3" so 10 fresh colonies don't compete with rome in pop.

>
or if each development point above 10 gives more population than previous development point, maybe tied to the increasing development costs of eu4, 3% per dev between 10-20, 6% per dev between 20-30.

Population: Development(1to10)*X+Development(11to20)*Y+Development(21to30*Z.. etc

Could add other development cost modiifers into it like arid, mountain, desert, so even if you get an arid desert province up to a high development in eu4, it doesn't get too crazy in population in v2.

check your "desired provinces" or whatever the interface is called

It means that you are trying to make them help you by offering land, but they haven't:
>claim
>core
>interest

Wait until they do or stick to favors

>I should treat people who use know shitposter terms as legitimate posters
Had you simply said "Oh, I thought it was a normal meme, guess I'll stop using it." Then I'd have answered your question, instead you doubled down and defended your use of Stramcordplaza memes.

They only want land that is claimed by Serbia.

>evw

Why do you hurt me so?

But I specifically claimed some otto land for this and this bullshit is still up

where is that?

>m-maybe if i land on the moon, t-they'll have to respect the UDI!
Go to bed, Ian.

Not one male heir in sight and I'm not growing any younger. I have truly been cursed by the gods.

I managed to do a successful revision run as Hungary.

go to your own country's overview and look on the right for three clickable options, it should be the third one, I haven't played eu4 in three months so I can't tell you for sure

Click on a country
Go to diplomacy
Pick the 3rd diplomatic tab
Figure shit out

Dont feel guilty it took me long to find out too

PS: that's cheating

>instead you doubled down and defended

the irony being that you have doubled down on your own shitposting because you can't stop autistically screeching because someone used a word you didn't like on a mongolian live-action roleplay debate club

now s t o p p o s t i n g

>the irony being, heh, you objected to my shitposting, heheh
Fuck off, Steamcordplaza.

It's almost as if in the real world that exists outside of your parents' basement people have no need to kowtow to your autism. Don't pretend like you could answer the question anyways because we all know that you can't. Also don't pretend to be a reasonable person because your autism spree has shown that you are literally incapable of it.

What's cheating? Forging a claim on otto land?

>steamcordplaza false-flagger is sperging out because someone used one of their """"memes"""" without permission

>this entire post
So in your meme projected reality, projected being the operative word, *I'm* an autistic retard who spends all day playing GSG, yet I also have no idea about GSGs?
Bravo, Steamcordplaza. Chalk this up as another EBIN victory.

>my

wrong

Didnt you say that you loaded as serbia to claim ottoman land? This is what serbia has to do in order to accept ur invitation

nigger I am playing Serbia and wanted to call Poland to war, but can't due to this retarded new gameplay gimmick, and when I want to offer them land this shit pops up.

>just get back from helping Saxony vs some pagan and aztec scum
>destroy some heretical muslims

How seething is the Caliph right now? Also if I keep beating them in crusades and assassinating their Caliphs, they'll collapse right?

Yes the guy you are arguing with is autismo, but he's right in how it's so fucking obvious that discord is raiding us.

Croatian fascists have awoken.

EU4 or EU3?

You have no idea about CWE, the mod that was being asked about. Having knowledge of base liqqy doesn't make you an expert on a relatively new and very niche mod that overhauls the game to the point it can almost be called a brand new one. Yes, you are an autist, but like every other autist you're good at one thing and suck cock at literally everything else including basic human communication. I wouldn't doubt for a second if YOU were memegruppecordplaza in the way you've completely disrupted the thread with autistic shitposting. Seriously the last (You) you're getting out of me. Get fucked.

I just want help with CWE ;_;
