/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

7th (Seventh) for Greater Denmark.

Blame bombermod, he started this.

>modding hoi3 just to add "greater" to a countrys name
Why?
Combination of steamgroup, discord, and paradoxplaza.
Steamgroup raids us.
They use discord to organise raids.
They use paradoxplaza to recruit members.

Reformed long ago. Russia is divided among Uyghurs and Kazhars, the Kazhars being the sunni.

>supporting the royal family which turned Russia into a feudal shithole

For what purpose?

Well for one, Manchurian pops need to be around 3 times smaller than they are now, and by the game start there should already be Chinese majority

#literallycrying

What events in Paradox games make you tear up?

Kill the Kazhars. Russia must be white.
>unironic commie
If you're not LARPing, go back to lefty/pol/.

Reminder that you have been alerted before it started

>crying when playing as african fetishists
Have we reached peak ?

After months of not playing I started CK2 again, but my game is only on 2.5.2.2. Any worthy updates?

Definitely not a traditional commie when it comes to ideology, but you can't argue that based Stalin dealt with degeneracy, shat up the fabricated """"Ukrainians"""" and industrialized the country. Russia during late Romanov and early Lenin rule was fucking shit.

Honestly, bomber should just take over HPM.

>alerted before it started
>28th of may
But it started before then..

>You were there when the prophet graced our great General

>peasants living happy rural lives
>stalin forces them to work for the state, if they refuse they get gulag, if they don't meet quotas they get gulag
Seriously, lad, fuck off.
Also, did you extend the end date just to blob?

>This seems too good to be true, you put on this appearance of a non-shitposter, but I honestly don't know whether you are or not.
I appreciate that you're willing to give it a chance. In time, I hope I can show you that my intentions for this mod are purely for improving Victoria 2.

I saw that, not sure how to distribute the pops so I'll probably just remove the same percentage from each province to make it match up with the census data.

This mod was never meant to be an HPM replacement, if you were really a discordspy you would have known this since day 1.

HPM is much more talented than me, I'll leave it up to him.

>you died without an heir
>then the game crashes
fucking love ck2

To see how this game goes. All of Europe dismantled itself and the Dutch are the last colonial power. Literally didn't need to dismantle anyone apart from Germany. All the dismantlement wars led to both France and Britain (now England) being permanent secondary powers.

breaking news sweetheart, you lost the game, in case you didn't new

i know i lost the game but did ck2 really have to crash to desktop?

Are you cheatownering? If so, Give Prussia Prussia back.

That's the best game over screen Paradox can give, cut them some slack

Do you think Paradox will ever release a GS game with their brand new White Wolf content? I'm a Veeky Forums kinda guy and I think something along those lines could be interesting

random hoi3 bice screenshot
Same game from last week's screenshot.

Decided to keep playing after the commies refused to surrender.
Kicked the italians out of africa in early 43. Now grinding the krauts back and forth in italy.

Please? What patches/expansions are worth the data?

>kazan has cores on all of Novgorod//Muscovy
for what purpose

Threadly Reminder

Distant Worlds >>> Darkest Hour > Victoria 2 > EU4 > CK2 > HoI3 >>> HoI4

Reds are finally on the offensive. I guess they get some retarded modifiers after losing both moscow and leningrad.

The game crashes when trying to tag any other nation but I'm just gonna play it until the soviets btfo the krauts
Both Germany and Italy are down to 50-100 manpower. Japan has over 9k but they're (still) bogged down in burma

Stop posting gamess that aren't in the OP.

Is there any way to get accents in OOBs to display correctly?

What is this meme mod, please give link

>I'll probably just remove the same percentage from each province

I think paradox just guessed them too, because they are completely wrong there

Wast majority of population should be in the 3 southern provinces

This is not quite accurate either but better than paradox vanilla pops

>ALX_conservative
You forgot the localisation

It's just a minor meme I've been working on tonight. Felt like playing a small minority of Catholics ruling over Egypt for whatever reason.

It ain't quite done yet tho, need party names for Alexandria and Jerusalem, and I'm working on pops right now.

>implying Ming is overpowered

there any decent way to play a long mega-campaign from CK2 - > Hearts of Iron IV without the AI doing outright stupid shit (Hungarian Nordic Spain) and without it being super easy to just do a big blob, but also without arbitrarilly making the AI just basically 'soak more bullets' to kill?

Distant Worlds is more of a grand strategy game than HoI3 and CK2. Sorry that fact triggers you my man.

I'm guessing fomr the ship names the people speak french?

No, I just haven't named the political parties yet. Don't just want to name them "Conservative Faction" or whatever.

They're Outremer, yes.

It usually works when I type in the alt-code in game

Not really. You'd have to deliberately choose not to blob.

I guess you could go Merchant Republic and play """tall""". EU4 even has some arbitrary 20 province cap before you start taking penalties as a MR.

Thank you! I know very little about the far east during the time period, so I appreciate when somebody that knows more than me about it can help.

Do you mind uploading the files? I could put that into the mod right now. My only concern is the amount of Han Chinese pops, didn't the Willow Palisade block them out of Manchuria?

>""""""Imperial Japanese Navy"""""""

It works in game, but not in the game files. And understandably, I can't type it in with an altcode manually before every game.

I don't speak french but how about
Front National Catholique for the Conservatives
Intégrateur Parti Alexandrie for the Liberals
Not too sure about the Reactionaries but maybe something like "Coalition Sainte de Saint-Marc" or something with a Saint
And I don't fucking know about the commies and nazis desu

>nazis

Those work pretty well, thank you!
For the socialists, I imagine it'd be a mixed Outremer and Arabic party, with the communists as just revolutionary Arabs. Perhaps the fascists would be the Renewed Crusade party or something.

You know what I mean laddo, Fascists is too long

>didn't get the Soryu

lets see your losses, lad

I have bunch of small cultures in my files so that makes them incompatible with your mod

At game start Chinese are mainly in the South, there never was full closure as they were permitted to settle in Liaodong several times in 18th century

uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/ostas/moderne/papers/No 1998-1.pdf

heres pretty good ethnic breakdown with estimated numbers and all, page 23

Thank you! I'll be going to bed now, but the help is greatly appreciated.

Why do you add so many small cultures to your mod? Did you add an anti assimilation modifier so they don't immediately go away past 1840?

>3 more lettters

Autism, and yes I reworked everything

I had an idea for an event that pops up if you have a completely landlocked province with no connection to your capital, which lets you release it as a puppet state. It's main use would be stopping the AI from having retarded and unaesthetic enclaves.

>>didn't get the Soryu
Get the fuck out of here

I've lost dozens of submarines and destroyers to escort/raiding duties but only two battleships and a battlescruiser. Each of them only because they got caught off guard by a 50+ ship doomstack.

>a battlecruiser

What was that? Did you fall for the battlecruiser meme?

>cvl
Delete your entire fleet.

>jap flag is just a quarter of their actual IJN flag
Why the fuck do BI do this? I can understand the piss flag, but that's undefendable.

I built it just to get 'some' capital ship practicals that would help with the build time for the other BBs.
The one that I lost was actually a pocket battleship. which i built for the same reason

see above

Plus, with 1.2k pre war IC i could build literally anything

What CK2/EU4 expansions are so shit that they aren't even worth pirating?

at least they put in the proper flag m8

>the proper flag is a quarter of their actual flag soaked in piss
BIIDF Raus!

>1943
>jap fleet already sunk

>havent taken saipan

hmm

Yeah, I never liked how practicals worked, theory should be all that matters.

They kind of made sense for most stuff but for shit that takes 20 months to build its pretty dumb imho.
It forced the player to waste IC ahead of time in shit that will never be used just to avoid a -20% build/cost penalty due to low practicals.

Is it worth going down the research tree and building radio stations in Hoi4?

>Hoi4

This is what I ended up going with:

ALX_conservative: Front national catholique
ALX_liberal: Coalition marchands
ALX_socialist: Integrateur Parti Alexandrie
ALX_reactionary: Coalition sainte de Saint-Marc
ALX_communist: Parti communiste egyptien
ALX_fascist: Le nouveau croises
ALX_conservative_2: Parti populaire
ALX_liberal_2: Vivant
ALX_anarcho_liberal: Parti libertair

Should I keep the French-style lack of capitalization, or

How hard is Germany in HOI3 black ice? I'm a noob.

I know, I was considering playing some Hoi3 instead, but I've been enjoying the Kaisereich mod too much

There are a lot of events, it can be overwhelming, similar to U.S.A. in Vic 2

well, is there a comfy nation without event spam? Kind of like France or Russia in Vicky 2.

It can be the easiest. Just go along with the events.
The soviets get some nasty modifiers after losing most of their cities but that doesn't matter if you concentrate on some SICK encirclements that render their massive numbers worthless.
If you go for an infantry grinddown along the entire front then you'll get btfo in the first year.

>calls himself "pro R&I"
Begone, shitposter

pls respond

>If you go for an infantry grinddown along the entire front then you'll get btfo in the first year.

What do you mean?

Rather, practical should be gained day by day while building things such that the eventual total adds up to the listed amount. The all-at-once on completion practical allotment incentivizes building useless things that happen to have shorter completion times than what you actually intend to build, just to rack up some practical for mad gains.

Does DH have the same system? Looking to get into it.

Ussr gets infinite manpower in bice and crazy production bonuses once you start winning so if you try to win by brute force you'll always lose.

Manpower shortage.

If you try to push along the entire front instead of just stabilizing certain areas with minimal forces and concentrating the better part of your forces like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kiev_(1941) you'll go to 0 manpower in no time.

I never played darkest hour, the elevator combat and snes-tier interface don't interest me at all.

DH has a gearing system. The more of something you build, the less IC it takes to build another one, although this only works in long serial builds.
So it's like practicals that decay to 0 the moment a build runs out

What said, so you will have to focus on motorized and tank devisions to out maneuver and encircle enemies to wipe them out. Otherwise, you could also just avoid the war entirely.

>Otherwise, you could also just avoid the war entirely.
But muh oil

>elevator combat
Top fucking kek, quality post.

Not to mention the whole 'won't run on a OS past XP without downgrading to 16 bit' bullshit.

You can go with Italy.
I haven't played a full game with them but apart from all italian generals getting a negative experience trait there's really not much holding you back. Just like vanilla, get carriers asap and deny the allies the mediterranean. Once the med is taken, you can stay safe for the rest of the war. Assist the krauts with encirclements where you can and bomb the shit out of the uk.

The japs will eventually get utterly destroyed by the us but by then you should have a decent fleet. Either that or the krauts will have broken themselves in russia and itll be a matter of time before the red blob swarms yurop.

Proper thread
