We don't have an official steamgroup. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steamgroup, 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/?

This day in history, November 8th:
1644 – The Shunzhi Emperor, the third emperor of the Qing dynasty as the first Qing emperor to rule over China.
1898 – The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, the only instance of an attempted coup d'état in American history.
1917 – The People's Commissars give authority to Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin.
1923 – Beer Hall Putsch: In Munich, Adolf Hitler leads the Nazis in an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the German government.
1939 – In Munich, Adolf Hitler narrowly escapes the assassination attempt of Georg Elser while celebrating the 16th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch.

First common sense game, tried to see if using my mana to focus on developing varieties of shit is worth it over focusing on tech (was trying to create Empire of Serbs and Greeks by making them an accepted culture early but it uses up too much mana), its not, it fucking sucks when used this way and paradox is clearly not thinking this shit through. Should've waited til Cossacks comes out so I can properly do my Empire of Serbs and Greeks. There needs to be some better way to spread development, right now its a boring to use mechanic.
Reminds me, why the hell is there such a tiny variety of events in EU4? Its been out for years now but it has the same event variety CK2 vanilla had and its base game still sucks compared to V2.

Why do HRE countries never add new territory to the HRE? Why do countries that conquer HRE territory never remove them from the HRE? Why do pretty much no countries ever try to join the HRE? Why does no reform except for the first 2 ever pass? Why is paradox so shit?

>Why do HRE countries never add new territory to the HRE?
There is not really a benefit to add HRE territory other than to please the emperor.
>Why do countries that conquer HRE territory never remove them from the HRE?
Not sure. Maybe they don't want to piss off the emperor?
>Why do pretty much no countries ever try to join the HRE?
No one really likes the HRE desu.

So they game doesn't always end up with HREblob.

pops*4 gives world population yes?

so if the endgame - 1936 - had 2billion pops, 2bill*4 gives 8 billion which is roughly today's population and this is still after immense baby booming and shit. 1billion endgame might even be too big.
>>
>>121744924
the economy crashes because your farmers and laborers are unemployed due to rgo efficiency, so they can't afford the massive amount of goods your factories are churning out, and your craftsmen can't even meet their everyday needs for some reason even with maximum minimum wage and insanely low taxes. even clerks can't meet their everyday needs under the same conditions, and they're supposed to represent the well-off middle classes. so your farmers and laborers can't buy goods produced by your factories, and your factory workers can't afford the goods either because for some reason they can only meet their life needs. the factories have no consumers, and close.

I've played France too many times.
Sometimes I just want to play the Ottomans, or something. And if for example me, Italy and France all ally in a war against Britain, and we beat them back in both Europe and Africa, I kind of want France to even try to fucking invade the Isles, especially if they've got the navy to pull it off.

It's not unique to Vichy though.

Russia was formed by the Kievan branch of the Rurikids so releasing Ukraine wouldn't make sense. However, I may release a Novgorod and Muscovy. It would inevitably only slow them down, but I suppose that is something. One thing I've already done is make their eastern territories unaccepted culture pagans.

As for Mongolia, I want to leave Russia or another power some room to colonize.

I can defeat them in wars, but Holy Warring each individual duchy they have without incurring that prestige penalty will take forever, plus I'd rather a divided Turk state to manipulate rather than one that is constantly conquering my neighbors.

Let's say that it's a Great War, and I'm playing Germany and invading Russia. I'm going to occupy a lot more land than I might take.
So it there any mod that allows me to (for a infamy cost) destroy factories, raze infrastructure, kill pops or otherwise fuck up these areas? War is devastating, on cities and populations.
Victoria II wars often feel like it's just a matter of redrawing borders, or maybe enforcing some nation-wide sanction that doesn't really affect the population.

The Seljuks and Karashar are both vassals of Mongolia, actually. The problem is, even when you combine the development of all of Mongolia and her vassals, its still much less than Russia. Russia is just way too developed compared to Mongolia. The only way to give Mongolia relatively equal power would be to either give them Asian lands (which I don't really want to do as I want a strong China to develop) or to break up Russia. I'm currently contemplating how to do the latter. How does pic related look? (Ignore the periods, I'm using custom nations to make the borders)
