Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

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/?

This day in history, June 5th:
1862 – As the Treaty of Saigon is signed, ceding parts of southern Vietnam to France, the guerrilla leader Trương Định decides to defy Emperor Tự Đức of Vietnam and fight on against the Europeans.
1916 – The Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire breaks out.
1917 – World War I: Conscription begins in the United States as "Army registration day".
1942 – World War II: The United States declares war on Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania.
1944 – World War II: More than 1000 British bombers drop 5,000 tons of bombs on German gun batteries on the Normandy coast in preparation for D-Day.

We must be mad, literally mad, as a general to be permitting the annual creation of some fifty or so DLCs, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the grand strategy genre. It is like watching a general busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre. So insane are we that we actually permit redditors to unrestrictedly comment on the topic of content in DLCs and games that they have never paid for.

depends what you mean by buttblasted. if it's the people saying it doesn't belong in the thread, that's just stellaris fans falseflagging because they're upset the general doesn't accept their game as a gsg
if it's everyone shitting on the game for looking like casual garbage, well that's just being realistic.
>>
>>144468372
/gsg/ gets buttblasted because they have high standards and their wishful thinking of an actually competently made GS game gets crushed whenever a new one is released.

It's like hoping for something to be good, only for every single attempt to turn out as a bag of shit. It's frustrating.

There wasn't that much opposition to EU4. People shitposted about CK2 a lot but eventually warmed up to it. Victoria 2 on release was one of the worst Paradox games in history and yet it's the default that most people here resort to now.

I've kind of been toying with the idea of starting an open source engine replacement project for Victoria 2. Probably based on HPM instead of vanilla. At least to begin with you would use the original game assets, and try to recreate the hardcoded functionality with ideally improved AI and economy logic. Later on what these engine recreations tend to do is replace the assets so you can decouple the game completely from the original, and start adding new features and depth. I like the idea in theory but idk if it's better than just starting from scratch. I'm probably too lazy to get it actually started, and it would take years to be playable state anyway

Development was going slowly because of the ambition of the project and no deadlines were being met in a satisfactory manner, it would have probably needed to come out at the same time as EUIV with how things were going if it wanted to look good, and it's never a good idea to release two games that would directly compete with each other.

We can assume the same thing Happened to EvW with the projected plans for HOI4. Something about the Clausewitz engine makes it difficult to replicate the modding wonders that the FtG, AoD, and Darkest Hour people did with the Europa Engine.

I'm adding three custom nations to South East Asia. First is a Wokou nation on Taiwan to represent the Japanese pirate who terrorized Korea and China for centuries (pic related).

Next is the Haizei Chinese pirate kingdom, meant to represent the more ambitious pirates like Lim Hong and Ching Shih who based themselves in the South China sea and also terrorized the Chinese coast.

Finally, as a slightly more anachronistic nation, I'm going to be adding a Hakka merchant republic to borneo to represent a Lanfang-type republic. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanfang_Republic)

I'm going to agree with hip. I would suggest not installing the arko mods or viet. do install the swmh map if your computer is decent. mini-swmh removes india and is a good idea to install.

I know c++ and only c++. For mouths I have had the ability to code all the logic that happens behind the graphics, all the calculations, values, AI, all aspects that happen to make a game run, but not the ability to incorporate graphical meshes into the game.

>pic related
>this is the format that I can give information though, just text and how I format that text

It resembles old dos like games, except even more limited. Still though, I have time on my hands, and I was wondering if anyone here has an idea for a game that resembles grand strategy, but uses pure text to give information to the player. I know that only the most Autistic players could enjoy a game without graphics, but this is /gsg/, any thoughts?

But how would I code it? Say I used the unity engine, import a map from Victoria 2 or Europa, then I draw up boarders. How would I tell Unity that when a country owns #province, then it's color should change?

I really don't want to spend alot of time trying to learn how I would make the interface look slick, along with the graphical work.

There's a lot of cool things I can do with C++ right now, anything you can think of(that is, if you can tell me HOW the mechanic would work) I can translate into code so that computer will run it. I've been making a rpg/simulator of mountain blade where the AI roam about from town to town and nations go to war.

Ahh, shadow president is another game that's inspiring me to try this.

I guess I'm going about this the wrong way, I should start making a game, and ask for input on mechanics and regional culture groups, stuff like that.

Sounds easy, but what about getting the unit sprite to be in the center of the #providence, in c++, I would make a script to find the center of the odd shaped tiles then tell the sprite to be in those coordinates. In unity, I don't know how I could communicate the tile information to cpp files so that they could do the work, then send that information back to tell unity where the sprite needs to be. It can be done, but requires learning how to use unity, which I'm not sure I want to do.
