/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. Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Why would you restore perfidious?

Carefull boy, it might not be the best idea to discuss grand strategy in the grand strategy general

Shit like this makes me want to play DH, but then I remember the terrible UI, awful controls, and the doomstacks.

Just like dh

don't reply to me

aren't destroyers easily wrecked

Ok

>Swedish reich
>No sweden

based and slavic

All ships are easily wrecked by carriers. The point is to get the fastest ship so the firing distance can be reached as soon as possible.

Why is it called east Austria?

you replied to me first

i said STOP

"no"

uh back the FUARK off?

What country do i play as in kaiserreich

*fronts the fuark on*

brazil

Huey Long's America or the Kaiserreich if you want a based but nearly impossible game, Russia if you want a good introductory country with options to go any direction.

Brazil it is
I've put countless hours in DH

what determines whether or not a sphere'd unciv asks for a protectorate?

Should my Brazil go commie or fascist?

communist and install it in all the other latin american countries too

Japan

i did a natpop brazil game a while back, was pretty fun taking over latin america and iberia
couldn't take over north america since the CSA had like 400 divisions

I'm about to do a Krakow run in EU4, and I'm trying to decide what to do and how to cheese the game since I just did an Orthomans run for unlimited manpower. Any ideas?

If you mean Romanian geejunk we are all waiting for his return.
If I remember correctly you took over Iberia this game because the commonwealth was too much of a challenge.

Not them, but I'm waiting for the thread to stabilise.

Just play miscmods. Also don't blob, just pick a small colonial area to colonise and actually invest in it. There's more to colonies than just helping you get more trade.

We must rally our forces to deal with this!

Since I've obliterated the Turks and warscore is bullshit, would it be cheating if I used console to kick them out of Europe and leave them with only Anatolia?

Attached: Getfuckedturk.png (1920x1080, 3.39M)

as long as you are RPing, who cares
you are not playing multiplayer so why do you care about balance

how do i stop carlists

you join them

To reform the central powers go democratic and invite everyone into your hugbox against the USSR.
Of course it would be. But if you are not playing /gsg/ and taxes the Turks already cheated with their ridiculous war dynamism so it will be only righteous.

What's war dynamism

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

They get all of the Balkans and Anatolia for less than half the warscore and a free CB for them. Without that CB you can't annex Constantinople at the start of the game, because it has too many pops.
