How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, April 28th:

1945 – Benito Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci are executed by a firing squad consisting of members of the Italian resistance movement.

Starting a 6 player game. 1 Western Europe, 1 Central Europe, 1 Eastern Europe, 1 Middle-East or Africa, 1 Indian, 1 Asian.
Point of game is player wars later. So all player nations will be given boosts at the start(If needed) to get to that point earlier.
What are your opinions on strongest choices for all those areas? Based on above, main factor is national ideas, not starting land. Right now we are leaning
France, Brandenburg, Muscovy, Ottomans, Vijayanagar, Japan.

Austria's much stronger than Brandenburg.

Alone? Not really. But combined with much better starting positions and having lost of land easy to blob into around them I'd say yes.

Fromable nations are ok, there was a question between Qing and Japan. But from what he saw, he felt the Japanese Ideas were better for war.

5% Discip, 10% manpower, 15% inf combat. 10% morale from Shinto
vs
2 shock, 15% calv combat, 20% manpower recovery


Nepal is good though, better then Vij, never looked at them before. Will recommend. Thanks.

By assimilate I meant "assimilate". i.e kill as many Africans as possible and ship as any whites into the colony as possible.

>>
>>140389571
Well, -2 unrest and decreased coring costs are great for blobbing and staying stable after the war. And let's not forget that +10% manpower and +20% manpower recovery speed are multiplicative.
-10% tech cost will let you stay up to data on military tech much more easily.

>great position
Really? I'm in HPM so there are lots of nations in Africa, and from the look of it something like Sokoto would be better. No one will give a shit about Africa before colonization anyway, if I can conquer all these other nations with little infamy, I can get more colonizable land at the start of colonization and IIRC the lands here are more valuable anyway.

I forgot the fact that I can just sail my troops and conquer the lands on west if I play Ethiopia. I guess that's what should I then

It's not about the top ones, it's the bottom one. He's got a shock general, and with those numbers it's the point of the game where shock does shit. And he attacks in the mountains, against twice his number, and even though he lost that battle he killed twice as many men and he lost.

hello guys! i just downloaded victoria 2 and all the expansions. i was pretty excited since i heard that it is one of the most complex strategy games ever, with a phenomenal industry and economy mechanic.

i decided to start as albania and have a comfy isolationist game where i would just industrialize and reform my country.

however, i must have encountered some sort of bug. the only profitable type of industry is LIQUOR FACTORIES. i looked some guides and acted accordingly. i invested in input/output/throughput technology, encouraged capitalists and built railroads. i looked on the trade screen and took note of what is under heavy demand and what is not. i tried several different industries, arms, ammunition, clothes, glass. all of them failed. but the LIQUOR FACTORIES are the only ones that stay strong. i am not even that mad, this industry is invincible, keeps employed 20% of my population and keeps those taxes coming, but it seems too easy. all i have to do is build LIQUOR FACTORIES and upgrade them. any way to fix this rare bug?

World of Warcraft has a ton of mountains, the other vaporware warcraft mods ( Lordaeron Troll Wars and Warcraft Kings ) didn't really have this and pretty much just threw mountains wherever they looked nice, you could walk straight from Arathi Highlands to Hinterlands to Ghostlands in Troll Wars for example.

Of course, its a bit much right now. I will see what I can do later on to make it nicer when zoomed out.

What really bothers me about these KC shitters is how petty they are. I remember not too long ago we had a thread without the infopic, it was made first but it was kinda competing with the "proper-like" thread, and I guess mods got sick of it finally and deleted the latter. And of course there were allegations that the thread without the infopic or absurdly long pointless steamgroup warning was a steamgroup theead, but the thread went along perfectly fine.
The next thread though, the autists made, and they fucking linked the thread before last, the original one, as the most recent thread. Like what the fuck? Are they concerned future historians are gonna be going through desustorage with magnifying glasses and they need to see that the purity of /gsg/ thread succession is intact?
Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
We need to rid ourselves of these goddamn weirdos.
