/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

You blobbed the wromg way.

>every game paradox makes is shit
>all non paradox games are even more shit

play the old games from before they became shit

That's straight into Germany though?

i think he wanted you to take Turkey and rebuild Rome

test

No, I wanted him to take Turkey, Persia, Mesopotamia, the levant, Egypt, and re-establish Alexander's empire.

What an empire it was

In 323BC, an independent state. This was much against the wishes of Persian governments, whose leaders tried to break them down and make them so repent.

haha lads we should all move to reddit isn't that a novel idea? don't respond to me, just do it

now this guy is the real grand strategist

What a glorious """""""Republic"""""""

>president gives himself more power
>"wiw whatta strategiss"
yea ok

haha yeah it's just like the "no voting" policy
man real life sure does resemble gsgs

He's just learning from africans

That could bite them back later when he eventually retires/dies if his replacement is less competent.

>90k troops in 999
>when West Francia, the biggest blog besides Byzantium, has 20k
>Skotland wins
>gets Mauretania and all of Northern France for some reason
Holy shit, prepared invasion are strong as hell. I was expecting Catholic invasions into Scandinavia to be a threat for at least another hundred years, but now they'll be too busy dealing with those scary Skotsmen

Nah. If he was a real grand strategist, then it wouldn't be taking him this long to colonize Africa

Anyone know the mod for HOI4 that makes it something along the lines of Germany winning the War - Hitler dies - and Germany is broken up into the power circles of those most influential around Hitler (Borman's Germany, Goering's, Speer's, etc.) I've been searching for it for an hour and I can seem it find it!

>!
I was going to answer you as well.

>staying in power of the second (or not) most powerful nation in the world for indefinite time
Literally a better Putin yet you fucks love le bald manlet far more because he is le saviour of le white race (he isn't)

why so ded

Yes!

No!

Thats a lot of yous an no answers and I dont want to ask leddit am just retarded

i feel like playing a merchant republic senpai
give me some ideas
no italians no jews

Republic of England, make Cromwell proud.

Arsenal of Democracy or HoI 3?

This is fine.

Hoi 3

New to EUIV I am making alot of money but this one nation does not wanna be my vassal due to me having a worse economic base compared to them. How do I increase my economic base? by building buildings or improving provinces developments?

How?

>blobs and blobs also blobs
Love eu4

Its something to do with your total development and provinces or something.

...

No idea.

>Make the only dictator/"""Lord protector""" of England proud by establishing a republic

Merchant republics are a dictatorship where you distract everyone else by holding """elections""" that only you as Doge can afford to win.

And purging political rivals as they vye for power. It's like a USSR simulator.

>i don't know what "republic" means

How do I see my expenses in Mayo? For some reason when I look at my expenses under estates tab it puts my discretionary expenses (education, court, capital building) at 13, but my budget is paying 30 towards public services in my capital region. This shit is bankrupting me and I have no idea where all the money is going.

after upgrading some shitty land they said yes. Thanks my man. Also I am always really behind in tech. Should I not be flipping cultures at all and using harsh punishments to deal with rebels?

It was real in my mind, goy.

What does the Holocaust have to do with anything?

Mil tech is the only tech that really matters, the rest you can be slow on. Avoid harsh treatment, spending 50+ mil points is way more expensive than 5k manpower to crush a revolt

jeez it's hard paying attention to 3 /gsg/'s at once

just close this one, it's shit

>he thinks there's only 3
:^|

I purposely make dire and deplorable posts daily in order to scare anyone sane as an act of vengeance over this general

That's not vengeance because you're keeping all of the newfags away. If you really wanted to wreak havoc you would be more accommodating to the post-election crowd.

Helpful x 1

what would a gsg for templeos look like

I think its Fatherland 1964

>the post-election crowd.
spoken like a true shillaryjw

Uh GB please? Do anything? We're supposed to be allied

boy what are you doing

>allying england
why

I just wanted to be comfy and ignore anything that isnt planes
I guess I should have picked Canada

>People's Republic of China
>The people can't actually vote for the man who runs the republic of China
Sure Chang I'm the one who doesn't understand what a republic means

>1953 – Joseph Stalin suffers a stroke and collapses; he dies four days later.
>1981 – Provisional Irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands begins his hunger strike.
Owned

There are commies out there who still love China and think it's socialist

>republic means democracy

Republic =/= Western Liberal Democracy
And I'm not even arguing whether China is democratic or not, just that you have no idea what republic means. Go read a dictionary.

Merchant republic is a lot more of a straightforward republic than China. You could call China a republic I guess, but it's a stretch and you shouldn't act like it's clear cut and dry.

What religion in ck2 is the least cucked? im thinking islam, but what sect is the most war mongering but the least spiritual?

>but it's a stretch and you shouldn't act like it's clear cut and dry.
Maybe for you it's hard to understand, but when someone says "republic" I think of the definition, which China fits perfectly into, not something specific and non-sensical you just came up with.

>People's Democratic Dictatorship
>Republican
The sitting party effectively controls the appointment of people to government positions, there's only the thinnest veneer of legitimacy from the will of the people.

>if I bend the definition of a word to validate my side in an argument, i am right
Sorry sweety, but a single party state ruled by a central committee is not a republic.

Are you actually retarded enough to think that a republic has to be democratic?

Chinese people have more impact on their government than amrimutts have on theirs.
And you should read a bit about republics as a government type.

A necessary standard for a republic is for the state to ultimately be run by elected representatives. China is not ultimately run by elected representatives, membership to the central committee is decided by a vote from the central committee itself. They are not elected representatives of the people, party members, or citizens.

Whether termites have more impact on their government than anyone else is irrelevant as to whether that government is a republic or not. You should read up a bit about republics as a government type, because you don't seem to understand what you're talking about, tiger.

What about Medieval Venice?
Couldn't only the wealthiest families vote?

Do you believe that elected officials such as presidents, prime-ministers, etc. have the highest levels of power and control over countries?

Of any single person, yes.

In what game?

Every single grand strategy game has republics in.

...

>merchant republic
>you dont actually trade goods
which one of those faggots thought this was a good idea?

what the fuck did paradox break to make my game slow down to shitfuck after 1700

I might have overdone things a little here.

>Europe Universalis Rome
>Has a republic
Nigger are you fucking retarded?
