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.
Report and ignore it

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, November 30th:
1786 – The Grand Duchy of Tuscany, under Pietro Leopoldo I, becomes the first modern state to abolish the death penalty.
1902 – American Old West: Kid Curry Logan, second-in-command of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch gang, is sentenced to 20 years imprisonment with hard labor.
1939 – Winter War: Soviet forces cross the Finnish border in several places and bomb Helsinki and several other Finnish cities, starting the war.

>Buy their stuff if you want them to fulfill what their fans always wanted

Exactly one person said that in one post out of 750+.

I guess one post is an entire thread of shills.

>WOW 18 PAGES? FUCKING HARD WORK GO TAKE A VACATION NOTCH

Nobody said that. In fact, virtually every post that mentioned patch note length was a criticism, except for that argument over HPM patch notes which is wholly unrelated to EU4 and was mostly about what should and shouldn't count as a patch note.

>It was only 15 minutes!

Is a completely valid response to "they wasted time".

If you want to keep shitposting because you think a /gsg/ full of shitposting is superior to a /gsg/ that discusses game mechanics, I cannot prevent you.
>>
>>123875935
>but they do have access to the figures and you don't think the fact they're doing what they're doing with those figures is telling?

Your argument goes nowhere. It's circular logic.

>>
>>123876428
Of course it's fucking circular, you're asking me to prove something with data that I don't fucking have.

It's a loaded proposition. Ask them to prove to you that they're making more money, I'm cynical enough to believe that they wouldn't do anything that wasn't making them the most money they think they could make.
>>
>>123876428
But... That's exactly correct.

People buy X, so make X. X sells, so keep making X. If it stops selling, make Y.

>>123876302
Because your definition of paradox shill is "anyone who says anything positive about a paradox game ever".

It was implied that I was a shill last thread while I didn't even say anything positive about the game, so the definition is even looser than that.

You are retarded

>>
>>123879902
The only reason they stopped during the Vicky 2 period is because Spain became a shithole while Britian was the top power on Earth, any attempts to retake it would end in complete failure.

In a theoretical timeline where Britain gets btfo by France or Germany or something, which can certainly happen in Vicky 2, Spain sure as hell would've tried to reclaim Gibraltar.

No, they wouldn't. Britain had no interest in taking the US and would have no benefit from it. Keeping hold on a territory that huge and populous would be all but impossible, and unlike India the US wasn't full of insanely expensive resources to justify the effort to keep hold of it.

Gibraltar, meanwhile, is a tiny strip of land that Spain has continuously claimed as theirs, even today. If Argentina has cores on the Falklands in HPM, why shouldn't Spain have cores on Gibraltar?

How is Madagascar better than Australia?

Australia is "Empty Desert: The Country". Madagascar is a smaller island full of rare nature and forests that would have to be removed.

Really the only other contenders are Russia and Canada, but I assume the Israelis would prefer a desert climate and sea access, and that a desert would be cheaper to terraform.

Let's judge the situation from a pratical point of view then.

There are three gropus of people that can be given the region due to a historical claim:

A) Canaanites
b) Jews
c) Palestinians

We obviously can't give the Canaanites because they are extinct.

Between giving the land to the Jews or the Palestinians:

>Jews: produce lots of technology and knowledge, create useful military gear like drones, are reliable as long as you let them colonize the West Bank and help defend them, are a smart and productive people (pic related), make good use of their land even though most of it is desertic (they have even turned some areas into huge agricultural oasis), and so on
>Palestinians: never invented anything, are inbred, attack even their Arab brothers (Egypt, Syria, Jordan, etc), unreliable and break everything everywhere they go (see Jewish agricultural infrastructure in Gaza and what they did to it)

Therefore the Jews should obviously have that land. If you disagree you are a memeing cunt.

Literally none of that matters. The Palestinians have lived there for much longer and more recently than Jews, that's all that's relevant in deciding who's land it is.

Land should be allocated in the way that produces the best outcome, not in the way that is in the most agreement with history or tradition.

The Jews being in the middle east causes problems for everyone. Therefore, it makes no sense to put them there, regardless of what "right" to the land they may have, and regardless of whether those problems are the Jews fault are not.

Did you read my post? It doesn't matter who is causing the problems. It doesn't matter whose fault it is. It's 100% irrelevant. The only thing that matters is fixing the problems, focusing on anything else is the mark of the uneducated who can't suppress their basic vindictive instincts.

>They are persecuted and discriminated in every country they go. Why not let them have their own in their ancient land and let them live in peace?

Because they CAN'T live in peace in their ancient land, obviously. It's not as if we have the power to magically make it so they can.

But they CAN have their own land where they can live in peace, which would fix every problem. They just have to accept that it will be in the middle of nowhere, Australia. But in return, they get peace, security, and self-determination, without needing to fear their neighbors or appease the West for protection.

You were the one playing Two Sicilies, yes?
You're pretty much fucked.
France is always allied to Russia, and since you're not their little pet Sardinia-Piedmont, they'll hate you from the start.
Don't even need to get started on Austria.
Thing is, when you unify as Two Sicilies, both France and Austria instantly get a Humiliate CB on you. And they WILL fuck your shit up, since you just unified and have yet to build your armies.
I would just accept their demands immediately. That puts a 5 year truce between you. Blanda upp, fully research army techs and try scoring an alliance with Germany.
