/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

>to rename Ukraine and Poland, do you need to own them or they just need to be in your sphere or puppet?
Own them

Hard cheevos to go for in EU4?

Repeating from the deleted thread:

>Playing as Iroquois
>Colonise most of the Eastern America region
>start to colonise/conquer into Louisiana region
>England, who controls Mexico, pushes my shit in, forces me to concede Colonial Louisiana
>I conquer English Louisiana before England can retaliate
>Still can't colonise the rest of the Louisiana region, though, because conceding a colonial region prevents you from colonising it (greying out the button) unless you annul the treaty by means of war with the country you made the treaty with (in this case, England/the UK)
>France hates my guts and is continually attempting to take Maine/Massachusetts
>Aragon-led Spain completely ignored the New World; Castille managed to establish California before becoming a three-province minor in South Africa and the Canaries
>I'm Catholic, as are both the UK and France
>Now the UK is actually on pretty good terms with me since I'm threatened by France
>May be close to an alliance
>Still no diplomatic option to annul the treaty despite our improved relations

This is frustrating.

PLaying in the new world always is

Is Rogue State any good? Does it even fit here?

Never heard of it, is it good?

>>Still no diplomatic option to annul the treaty despite our improved relations
Just declare war lad

The native mechanics are shit in eu4 desu, they should have been left out

I asked in the thread that got deleted but it got deleted. Can you post your inability to colonise, please? Is the button greyed out or something? Honestly never heard of this.

gex

alright, shouldnt they be your puppets instead? because the germans wanted that, not annexing them

Fun nations in V2? How do you learn to play this?

My force limit is a fraction of Great Britain's.

>inb4 "EU4 ai can't into naval invasions, do it faget"

English Mexico has a force limit slightly larger than mine, so even a single stack of actual Brits could combine with that to make the war nigh-impossible for me.

That, and France is always looking for a moment of weakness out of me.

Here you go.

Why are your borders all fucked up?

>didn't want to annex
>what is lebensraum

I guess, it makes sense.

>English Mexico has a force limit slightly larger than mine, so even a single stack of actual Brits could combine with that to make the war nigh-impossible for me.
Get a GP to fight them for you lad, it's not that hard.
The hardest part is westerninzing

Because I wanted to colonise towards Louisiana first, but now that I can't, I'm filling in the parts of Eastern America I haven't colonised yet.

Also, English Mexico stole a bit of Louisiana from Wichita earlier.

Prussia, America, and Japan are the nations to play

I westernised like 70 years ago, and as I explained in , all the GPs either have no reason to give a shit about me or utterly hate my guts.

France would normally be a prime candidate for anti-Britain attack dog, but they have a Treaty of Tortilla Chips on Eastern America, so their relations are basically pegged at -200. And Spain gives no shits about the New World.

Just fill those holes nigga

yeah, but I think it shouldnt be here, since that's just blobbing
well, can you show the decisions in-game? and what names does Ostland, Ukraine and Poland get?

>Prussia
>fun
t, prussia pro

It's fun if you want to learn the game you faggot because it has you do a little bit of everything throughout the game with clear goals. It helps you learn how things work without really having to think about what you're doing.

where is the official /gsg/ discord?

Then suck their cock until they give a shit about you.

Look at those relationship points.

Thanks

That's fucking bullshit.
How the fuck do you violate it if you are a fucking native?

Because I'm Catholic.

Sorry lad, can't do right now.

In hell

what is the most white country in victoria 2?

But you aren't european. Why the fuck would it apply to you?

Argentina

Niger

alright, dont worry, so the mod will require you to own them yourself or the countries need to be your pupets?

Egypt

Just be your puppets, though if you own them yourself because you blobbed there you should also be able to do it.

USA USA USA USA USA USA

Germany

Any tips for Granada in EU4?
Shit is impossible.

You can either back down to the new world or drown in debts and mercenaries

is it even possible to do that?

Also don't forget to conquer Tlemcen first thing
you have them as accepted culture

You are doing pretty well lad, all my natives runs were fucking ruined by the europeans.
How did you do it? What's your secret?

Blomberg is currently a 3rd Level Field Marshal in charge of OKH and the starting Chief of Staff, but I already have von Manstein as Minister for the Spearhead doctrine bonuses. I don't want to loose party unity, so unfortunately I'm probably going to sack.

Kietel, Goring, Himmler were total snakes
>Keitel in his turn, seeing a chance to destroy Blomberg's career, told Helldorf to take the file to Göring, which he did. Göring, who had served as best man to Blomberg at the wedding, used the file to argue Blomberg was unfit to serve as a war minister. It has long been claimed that von Blomberg's new wife had a criminal record for prostitution, but this is false; Goering chose to misrepresent her criminal record as a way of smearing her husband.

What mod?

First, make sure Tunis and Morrocco don't rival with each other, and ally them.
Then wait for Castille to have some shitty war with France or Argon or whatever, and use that as an oppertunity to take back enough land to form Andalusia.
I've never managed to pull off exodus games. I always spend my monarch points on building up provinces to get institutions so I end up behind on tech anyway

How do I into map modding???

HPP

>not modding in the real nazi flag

Should I finish my syndicalist German republic in V2 or play a Nord kingdom in Elder Kings?

Keep him, experienced women are patrician tier.

Its on the paracucks forums, so that'd be why.

This is my first run, next time I will.

Fuck meme fantasy scenarios, laddo, play elder kings

Always play Italy on your first run. That way, if you make a complete retard of yourself it's historically accurate.

For a second there I thought you meant Blomberg was an experienced woman.

>30 minutes in EU4 and chill and this song starts playing

youtube.com/watch?v=6pdNClyb-tY

Seriously, the best tune in the game and you couldn't have made it a three minute track, Paradox?

In related news, I'm deciding between Goebbels and Ribbentrop as Foreign Minister. Ribbentrop is the historical option, but Goebbels always desired the position and got fairly close to actually getting the job. (Hitler wanted to spread out power to avoid another Goring/Himmler situation) Not surprisingly, the two hated each other, as they were both two of the most hardcore and dedicated in the NS leadership.

what did you expect, effort?

Von Papen for the most spread out

poor taste my dude

>reditors who can't accept the infopic
Top fucking kek, the infopic is what brings the redditors, they unironically have it on their subreddit.

Goebbles was bae

How do drift to axis/drift to comintern work? Would they cause you to go towards them or cause nations you influence to go to them or what?

>he doesn't mod in his own music on a country by country basis

Bunch of pirates robbing EU4 of its 90% rating on steam

Does this mod let you appoint Strasser in any way?
actual national socialism has NEVER been tried

>they let pirates log steam reviews of games they've pirated
Go to bed, Johan.
I never got how Goering was so influential. I get Himmler, because muh SS paganiums magic orderiums, but Goering was just a overhyped fat as fuck fly boy.

Neither of them were very influential.

Hey now, it's not that much of a meme
>autocratic Habsburg-led Germany slowly liberalizing politically, but staunchly resisting any social change
>socialists excluded from the Imperial Diet with the approval of the Kaiser
>socialists still growing in influence among the people (~35% were liberal, ~30% socialist)
>liberal party that's been in power for decades is revealed to be supremely corrupt
>so corrupt, the party is forced to dissolve and the Kaiser appoints a caretaker government
>militant socialists decide elections are for queers and over a million soldiers rise up
>half the army defects to the socialists
>caretaker government hastily reforms itself into a Westminster-esque parliment and passes a basic social reform package
>revolution called off and new government of socialists and centrists forms
>works for a couple of years, steady social reform because socialist revolutionaries are still lurking in the shadows
>reforms going slow since the non-socialists in coalition don't want to impose on the market too much
>trade unions still state managed
>Kaiser goes on state visit to Japan to improve relations with the Emperor
>socialists decide social reform is going too slow and demand total liberalization of trade union laws while the Kaiser is gone
>rest of the ruling coalition rejects this until they can get imperial approval
>SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION
>nearly 2 million socialists rise up, most of the army defects again
>Vienna, Bohemia and central Germany all come under control of the socialists
>Kaiser is told he can stay in Tokyo permanently

The leader of the SS wasn't influential?

The trick is this.

>Rush Admin Tech 7 and Diplo Tech 3 (then 5 to avoid ticking corruption cost)
>Exploration ideas first, then Aristocratic
>Rush to colonise towards natural harbours/centres of trade on the coast
>Only work on sealing the coasts properly after getting the trade centres
>Don't tech any further than you have to; stockpile points after filling out Native Ideas and pump surplus points into stability and development
>Reform once you border a high-tech nation
>If a coloniser nabs a county, sell them neighboring counties so they form a colonial nation, then kill that colonial nation before the coloniser or one of their GP friends csn use GP diplo options to threaten intervention
>Do this by having four artillery in the capital stack, spending mana to breach the walls and by blanket sieging the rest
>Consider converting to Christianity for relations bonuses with colonisers, but remember that you're going to have a hell of a time with 0% religious unity and a massive stability hit
>Eat neighbouring colonial nations before they get too big (this was my mistake with English Mexico)

>>Kaiser is told he can stay in Tokyo permanently
I'm imagining Willy being brought out qt Jap fuck slaves, the monarchy being reinstated in Germany, but him sending his son to rule instead because he's enjoying his new life too much.

I wonder if HPM would add a "socialists excluded" reform for the upper house. Would be good for RP and stop people meming good schools in the 1850s through militancy spam.

Not in the way that he could influence policy, no. None of the allies took him seriously when he was trying to negotiate his own surrender. The SS was powerful, I'm not denying that, but its leader was not. That might've changed after Hitler eventually died in a German victory scenario, unless Hitler directly appointed a successor.

>implying Prussia wouldn't have stayed out of a Habsburg Germany

Fair enough, what you say is logical and well founded and I agree with you based on the points you've out across.

Prussia didn't have a fucking choice

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.

Britain seemingly annexed Korea after taking Fengtian state from China. This is the second time I've seen Fengtian go to Britain, but I have no clue how Britain got Korea. They're multiple states large and Britain definitely annexed them in a single attempt.

I believe after you get Nash and Imp you can EP everyone.

...

Fucking fire him. You can't have a cuck in your government.

>marrying a whore

no

Experienced women are god tier. I take it you want a slab of meat virgin who doesn't know what she's doing or how to pleasure you?

Kano has been conquered at last. All I need now is to stay idle for a bit, stabilize, purge the non-Catholic minorities spread all over my provinces and finally move the capital there. Once the capital is at Kano I can conquer everything around it effortlessly

yes, more stable relationships come from women with fewer prior partners

Do you also like a steak 20 other guys have eaten before you?
Think of how soft and tender it is!

They're god tier if you're a cuck and you like eating her out where a dozen men have cum. And yes, she can learn with time and most importantly, she'd stay loyal. Meanwhile once a whore always a whore.
