How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, 15th of October:
1529 – The Siege of Vienna ends as the Austrians rout the invading Turks, turning the tide against almost a century of unchecked conquest throughout eastern and central Europe by the Ottoman Empire.
1888 – The "From Hell" letter allegedly sent by Jack the Ripper is received by investigators.
1917 – World War I: At Vincennes outside Paris, Dutch dancer Mata Hari is executed by firing squad for spying for the German Empire.
1934 – The Soviet Republic of China collapses when Chiang Kai-shek's National Revolutionary Army successfully encircles Ruijin, forcing the fleeing Communists to begin the Long March.
1944 – The Arrow Cross Party (very similar to Hitler's NSDAP (Nazi party)) takes power in Hungary.

Soviet-style ethnic homelands for North American native tribes when?

reposting from old thread

The ottoman empire got a ton of new flavor, and a new source of income, how far should I go? For the ones with reduced territory, I won't actually guarantee loosing it, but I will try to make the historical (which is to say, bad) decisions the Empire made when things like the Crimean War pop up.

Fuck off

Yellow
Until Vienna

>blobbing in persia

you know they deserve it

That's a myth

aside from Dalmatia and your puppets in Europe, don't expand any more there.

try and take all of the Arabian peninsular and Northern Africa

what kind of government will you RP if/when the Ottoman dynasty falls?

What kind of new flavor ?

You deserve my dick

Is that a yes or a no?
>what kind of government will you RP if/when the Ottoman dynasty falls?
Ideally I won't fuck up that badly but if it becomes a republic, full ataturk. Nazis, probably some kind of neo-ottoman stupidity. No damn clue for commies.
The Druze stuff basically only affects the ottoman empire. (And also France if the Ottoman Empire makes a bad decision and gives france a free CB on them.)

not him but some me stuff and events for influence in qatar and bahrain

Middle East events

yeehaw

nobody wants anglo dick

For a noob, what are the best tutorial/guide videos for HOI3? Thanks.

You've never met Injuns, have you?

Suggest a game to me lads, I'm all out of ideas

Or a better way to word it, give me something you've wanted to see, but haven't been assed to do i

thoughts on geopolitical efficacy of a Republic of Bavaria and the Greater Alpine forming in 1926 in a scenario where the first world war hadn't happened and the haps had disintegrated as a hoi4/vic2 scenario?

GroB Spanish East Indies (including Japan)

play as Russia, liberate the slavs inside A/H and turkey, and create the league of two caesars, by that I mean you must ally germany, also help the heavenly kingdom win the rebellion

i live right next to a reserve

they're hardworking folk, at least the Cree and Inuit

How would Spain ever counquer Japan if they've been raising >80k armies per major daimyo alone during their civil wars, now mostly armed with guns?

git gud

Play as Bavaria and don't form Germany

...

realistically speaking its impossible

Nigger i've seen denmark conquer japan
kill yourself

Can confirm, live next to a shit ton of Navajo and pueblo people. Natives are solid people who don't give a shit.

I've seen ryukyu WC
kill yourself

i said
>realistically speaking

these shitty games dont mimic irl

who the fuck cares. the guy asked for a game idea

They could just make them submit by using gunboat diplomacy for a few years.

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

Don't forget to wiggle your willy everyday laddy lads.

Reminder that Britain and even Portugal easily fucked up India (way larger than Japan)

Do this. All of MENA as your rightful territory, East Africa to secure Gulf of Aden shipping and transit through the Mozambique Channel. Also to secure the source of the Nile so Egypt isn't threatened. Gibraltar/Sicily/Sardinia/Malta for a stranglehold on the Mediterranean and because muh caliphate. Spheres to hem in Germany/Russia/France and neuter the Persians, your ancient enemy.

>were literally defeated by gunboat diplomacy in real life
r-right, totally impervious to gunboat diplomacy though

That's nice and all, but it doesn't mean that they should get greater autonomy than they already have with the reservation system. Especially for the larger tribes as they already have quite a bit of land and can live without too much outside interference.

Is that supposed to be an argument of some kind?

Yes
Peak Spain absolutely BTFOs Japan
Tercio > Sam*rai

>[country] at its peak totally BTFOs [other country] not at its peak
whoooa, wow, who would've thought?

You do understand that gunboat diplomacy is the one thing that's laughable to mention not working on pre-Meiji Japan, right?

Is there any advantage whatsoever to nationalizing an industry in Superpower 2?

recommend me a book

looking for something about heroism

Where can a pirate download Kaiserreich? For IV, obviously.

I'm leaning towards this
What should my borders be in Europe? Should I be puppeting the Slavs? Stay absolute monarchy?

You can't, buy the game and DLCs

>being a dumb pedophile

MOOOOODS
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

benis in bagina :DDD

I know for a fact that I can, since I've done it before, I just don't remember where I did it and don't have anything written down to remind myself.
Ah?

>no GroßUkrainiums

uuh

>What should my borders be in Europe?
annex mongolia, manchuria, thrace and kars, also central asia of course
>Should I be puppeting the Slavs?
puppet all of them except for croatia and also puppet romania and greece, for the middle east create the fertile crescent and puppet persia
>Stay absolute monarchy?
yes, but if you want you can go fascist
I also have ideas for germany if you want

What's the best strategy game for economic autism that isn't vicky 2?

I want to drown in spreadsheets.

Vicky 2.

its a mobile game called Robinhood

Vicky 2 is the only one. Why do you think people want Vicky 3 so badly?

>I also have ideas for germany if you want

a germany game or in the Russia game?

The Austrian Empire with Venice and without Bosnia and Galacia are the most perfect borders the world has ever seen.

I don't want Vicky 3. There is no way Paradox wouldn't fuck it up completely.

in the russian game, a germany game comes later

how can vic2 be improved? honest question

>Orhan takes Constantinople in 1365

ah yes

tell me anyway

The trade system in EU4 might be enjoyable. V2 people tend to hate it for its' stupid non-realism though...which is very legitimate criticism, but does make one wonder why they enjoy V2s system.


If you want extra autism though: Pride of Nations

Unironically Aurora4x
It's pretty fucking good if You want spreadsheets

germany gets austria and bohemia, they also puppet croatia, hungary and venice that's for the russia game

I also forgot to mention that you should also puppet egypt so the copts, also, is it possible for russia to be able to help the heavenly kingdom? since you're the protector of christianity, you must help them

Mostly just small quality of live improvements I guess. The ability to adjust the maintanence on individual armies and navies would be nice. It's retarded having to pay for the tens or hundreds of thousands of troops in your nation when dealing with trouble in a colony on the other side of the planet.
Rebels could also be tweaked as they can cause some pretty absurd situations in the current game. When the militant socialists rise up each year for seven consecutive years only to be slaughtered each time you think they would be less willing to revolt for the eighth time.
A basic logistics system would also be neat as the military side of the game could use some more depth and there should be something to stop Germany marching armies through Russia into China.

bussiness Idea for a Federalized EU
Make the president have all the members as puppets and put country flags on every member
Every 5 a new leader gets elected and all the vassals are released and revassalized by the new president

>Every 5
years
every 5 years

I'll puppet all the Slavs, Croatia included, and Hungary as well. I'll let Germany have Bohemia and Austria.

For Heavenly Kingdom, if I either fuck up China before hand or quickly attack them I can wipe their armies and let the HK roll over them

yugoslavia or greater croatia/serbia?

Any good podcasts to listen to while I play GroBgermaniums?

I just listen to pornhub

groB yugoslaviums, groB bulgariums, klein greeciums, punished ottomaniums

what's the fate of slovakia and slovenia?

Never Yugo. Mainly because I've had way to many times them break out of vassalage for no reason.
How does Croatia with their starting cores, Serbia with their starting cores, and Montenegro with their starting cores sound?

>montenegro
they should get eaten by serbia, also bosnia should be split up between croatia and serbia

slovenia in yugoslaviums
and then a czechoslovakiums puppet

...

whito e whoring

oh neat I member seeing this shit a while ago

30 fps THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

Another idea. I give Serbia Montenegro's provinces expect for the one majority Croatian one, and i split Bosnia between to two for a nice clean border
Something like this.
Altho, I'm not too sure about the Albanians. What should I do with them? Give them a state, or divide them between the Serbs, Greeks, and Bulgarians?

>or divide them between the Serbs, Greeks, and Bulgarians?
this
your hungary is too tiny

...

>Giving the Magyars more land at the expense of Slavs
"no"

yeah good point, are you going to liberate pontus?

Favelocide user, when you get on, I wrote some flavour shit for the Europeans during the gencide events.
If you don't mind I really don't want to write anymore, it was laborious as all hell.
