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 26th:
1409 – Western Schism: The Roman Catholic Church is led into a double schism as Petros Philargos is crowned Pope Alexander V after the Council of Pisa, joining Pope Gregory XII in Rome and Pope Benedict XII in Avignon.
1522 – Ottomans begin the second Siege of Rhodes.
1541 – Francisco Pizarro is assassinated in Lima by the son of his former companion and later antagonist, Diego de Almagro the younger. Almagro is later caught and executed.
1843 – Treaty of Nanking comes into effect, Hong Kong Island is ceded to the British "in perpetuity".

Yeah, I never went to war in Europe and never let Japan into the Axis because they always drug my faction into shit wars in previous games, so Asia got dominated by the Allies.

It was the peaceful and nonthreatening rise of Nazi Germany.
My war against Russia was even defensive.

I'm not sure what to do now, declaring war on Europe would ruin my peaceful and nonthreatening streak.

Somebody teach me how to do naval/airdrop invasions, I really don't want to stop at Russia and the Allies are wrecking the Axis(I'm not at war with Allies).

I don't really know how to use the entire arrow stuff, I just create front lines and micro-manage everything.
>>
>>146650585
Create a naval invasion order by selecting an army, clicking the naval invasion order, selecting a port, and then selecting a landing zone. You can select any provinces that all border the same sea zone. Ensure you capture at least one port, or your men will run out of supplies.

Naval invasion troubleshooting:
1. ensure that the invasion has finished preparing. When you mouse over the execute order button you'll see how many days remaining. This is not the same as the -20% division still preparing malus.
2. ensure you have naval superiority along the entire route

Have fun.

Use the dedicated divisions to establish a beach head, ship in your army and crush them.

The best tio i can cone up with is to try to attack as many places as once with several small forces to imcrease the chances of breaktrough. Coordimate paratroopers to assist the naval landings.

>>146652792
no not really 3D battles, but the removal of the zoom limitation

Right now you have a unit moving onto a town and then after a few seconds you win/lose that field and it changes color.

The way i imagine it is that these colors, the border of the region, is dynamical and can be observed on a regional level like in this map

http://mideast.liveuamap.com/

Its just an immersion thing but also would include conflicts on factional levels like civil wars and other stuff, you could see how myn streets of an important town belongs to the rebels/invaders and where your troops are holding it.

Of course tha map would look like a Paradox GS map and not that ugly yellow/white thing i posted, but the colored borders show the idea.

Someone please explain me Carriers in HOI 4.

If I assign them to a mission like search and destroy, are my air wings in that carrier able to atack? Because I can't assign my airwings to the sea-zone if my carriers on a mission.

Or should I hold my carriers in water zone and assign air wings to that zone?

Invasion of Hawaii utterly failed. I destroyed a fair amount of American ships but lost the invasion troops along the way, so I suppose it may count as a strategic victory.

Here is the map of the world so far. I'm curious about playing as another country, maybe as the cucked USSR to try and get Soviet lands back. Is it worth playing as cucked USSR /gsg/, or would the Axis be too strong?

I want to say also that I'm very drawn to playing as Germany, if only because the German AI is so fucking stupid and is not helping Franco whatsoever as Spain gets eaten up by British troops.

German troops are mostly stationed at the border with Turkey. I cannot understand it but at least it isn't HOI4 levels of retarded.

Perhaps as Germany I will man up and invade the fucking UK for once, unlike the pussy AI.

So, earlier, I had the idea of adding a few Nestorian holy sites in southern India in CK2+ (because St Thomas), then playing a custom Nestorian character and seeing what I could do.

Unfortunately, in my test games, one of two things generally happened:

1. As a vassal, my liege lord would demand my titles (even if they liked me with my chancellor doing his thing)
2. As the independent count of Maldives, I was bored shitless for centuries, unable to make a move.

So, this time, I'm considering doing something I rarely consider in CK2: starting as a custom Nestorian Indian duke or king.

But which one should I pick?

Europe has been at war for 14 years senpai. Every power involved is down to scraping the barrel. Berlin has changed hands five times so far, London has fallen twice, and an enitre quarter of the population of the Netherlands has died - not counting civilians.
