/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.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Sad

Good thread

>pre HoD V2
>EU3
EXCELLENT thread.

I revoked the privilegia in eu4 but I had a couple of regular vassals beforehand and now they hate me because of relative power of all vassals. How do I sort these cunts out?

...

...

HPM

add options for Bosnian/Croat dominated Yugoslavia and give Serbia cores on Montenegro

>How do I sort these cunts out?
Let them start shit and watch what happens.

Nice post

no!

>14 ips
>15 posts

how bout vic 2 base game?

Ask niggermod instead. HPM is shit.

About to go on a revoking spree so I can fix some ducal borders

How can I prepare for the inevitable rebellions

"how bout" you don't give Johan your money, hun.

Love it when an AI jumps ship to the new world and thrives

You stop playing the Byzantines and play a better country

Just paise the game lmao

>mfw I see a eu4 screenshot

Turn off debug_mode before you take the screenshot my good friend ;)

It's a fact that based footposter is a herald of a good thread.

Is Europa Barbarorum gsg?

>is total war grand strategy?

No but it is a fun mod to play

Occupying a million provinces for minimum warscore that will only allow me to take one of them pisses me off to no end...

>Medieval 2 EB
"no"

if EU Rome is gsg then Europa Barbarorum is.

It's my first time trying it, I didn't play any of the betas or anything. I like how it handles Imperium and client states but I have a lot of concern about just about everything else. Only 70 turns in or so though. Is it generally regarded as worse than the Rome version? I know most of the original EB team left for EB2 so I was already a bit worried about how it handled the historical accuracy side of things.

How to handle research in EU3? Focus everything on government in the beginning to get the first national idea? And afterwards, just focus on one area to Max depending on my needs and switch or does it make sense to put up multiple sliders slightly?

yes. if you need something then rush the research for it, otherwise just do whatever is closest to being done, but government usually takes priority. Also move your money slider until you get 0.0 or -0.1 inflation and check it periodically

Howdy, germanic servents! Check it out, I'm made of gold!

Europa The Last Battle

Aye, thanks!

If i land a couple of relatives, will the bride price lower?

What game rules do I tweak in CK2? I disabled the most obvious shit, like Mongolian invasions.
Also, were matrilineal marriages a thing in these times?

need suggestions for my next kr playthru

already done
>canada returning to britain
>douce middleafrika
>natpop italy joining medbloc w/ carlist spain
>america
>mongolia

Why would you disable the Mongolians? Delayed Random is the best choice, because that gives it more variance and it's still possible it won't happen at all.

No, matrilineal marriages never existed in pre-modern Europe, disable it.

>get a civil war
>Sunni and Shia both declare holy wars on me at the same time
JUST

>never existed in pre-modern Europe
proofs?

Oh I wanted to say I put Mongolians in historical, I don't like having them appear in early times.
Also, does disabling Shattered Retreat help the AI blob?

>being neonazi scum
>not being a pure National Socialist
I spit at you.

Shut up whitey

It never did for me playing as Venice a few months ago. Just get lusty lowborns you need sons. If you are a Merchant Republic and you are landing relatives you are losing males therefore losing trading posts therefore losing retinue and coins for mercenaries. Lusty lowborns. Also if they are attractive other men will try to fuck them which produces even more children.

Austria campaign, reunified empire, Habsburg superpower

>implying khazar degenerates have anything to do with real israelites
This is you.

>>>/oven/

It is amazing indeed. Gold is a very valuable commodity. You are very powerful and I have no choice but to submit to my servile instincts and become your vassal. I totally didn't have any plans for independence or world relevance by the way.

just did that in vanilla not too long ago

but by landing i get more dynasty prestige and therefore it's easier to be elected

I don't know what disabling shattered retreat does in an AI sense, but it's a good thing to get rid of. It's a garbage mechanic.

lmao wh*te ""people"" are disgusting

France, restore the emperors

Is there a way to turn it off mid game

More so that no other game has it. But yeah I figured since you can abuse it, the AI would also do it, but I guess it doesn't matter.

>posting am*rican soyboys
Save editing.

...

what eu4 dlcs are worth getting?

just pirate it, seriously

The power gap between gold and prestige is cosmic. Your goal is to maximise florins, shekels and ducats. Prestige is for the inbreds. Every adult male must produce two sons. Every Patrician you play must take seduction focus and help them produce two sons minimum.

Don't give jewhan money,but if you must uninstall.exe

but how am I supposed to play white and based mp?

this, buying the base game is enough to "support" the devs if that's your concern. I honestly bought the base game to learn the basics and then pirated the dlcs from there

ok
breed a lot and build trade posts
so i shouldn't go to war for counties?

>We don't have an official steam or discord group.
yes we do

t. memesupreme

Wheres a good torrent for the dlc my boy?

...

there's nothing based nor white about eu4 mp
the game is pretty much as shitty with dlc as it is without

cs rin ru
based Rezmar uploads the DLCs and cracks for pretty much every paradox game.

I don't understand the point of this meme? If you hate grand strategy games why are you here?

>so i shouldn't go to war for counties?
Yes. You need to keep an eye out like a dirty jewish hawk for civil wars. When you see one you go for the weaker side and try to snipe a city before the civil war concludes. For the first half of the game you will need to keep your man in Constantinople sucking up to the Basileus non fucking stop (while you are whipping cities and islands out from under him).
It's a rotten, sneaky playstyle and I love it.

*gets virus*

What should be my goals for The Great Uncuckening?

>tfw can get DH to run on muh linux
>can't get liqqy 2 to run

:(

Wc
:^)

...

Prove that Swedes are not terrified of Russians.

colonize all of africa

nice
thanks

Make the baltic sea a Swedish lake

what's the optimal path to form germany as prussia?

Should I justify on Denmark for Holstein or should I wait for the event? What about the austrian spherelings?

Why did Paradox make pagans borderline unplayable with the Charlemagne DLC?

>Stuck with the worst succession system in the game = internal stability issues are certain.
>Worst holdings with the game with the defense and levy sizes of cities and income of castles.
>Armies consistent entirely of light infantry, the worst troops in CK2.
What a fucking mess.

colonize africa and turn it all into states

where's hpm?

/luso/
he posts there all the time
just ask for Alex

Hopefully dead.

Right here

NW. Set minor epidemics to as little as possible because if you play right your capital will get so rich it is getting hit every cooldown and hospitals make no difference.

God damnit.

Is this true?

Not the same user but Alex is a fucking attwhore who posted his pic on /luso/ and was doxxed. Now the little bitch is angry and fucking our thread. Nevertheless hes a faggot who should just die

post his pic

his friends

Alex

Haha holy shit
Numale

Just downloaded DoD, can I get a rundown? Who's cool to play?
