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 29th:
226 – Cao Pi dies after an illness; his son Cao Rui succeeds him as emperor of the Kingdom of Wei.
1807 – Russo-Turkish War: Admiral Dmitry Senyavin destroys the Ottoman fleet in the Battle of Athos.
1880 – France annexes Tahiti.
1922 – France grants 1 km2 at Vimy Ridge "freely, and for all time, to the Government of Canada, the free use of the land exempt from all taxes".
1972 – The United States Supreme Court rules in the case Furman v. Georgia that arbitrary and inconsistent imposition of the death penalty violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, and constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

Okay forgive me guise, I'm a gsg newfag, but question. If my kingdom has de jure claims on multiple counties of another kingdom, can I take more than one of them at once, or only one for each war? Because the casus belli has to be specific to a territory. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an easier way to go about this right in front of me but maybe not.

Wrong, lad. HPM is the one killing /gsg/. If you don't believe me check out all the threads and fanboys he has about his mememod on leddit. He's bringing in redditors by the droves and it's destroying our culture. He has to go.

Literally fix it next thread or something, every other general manages nobody makes a new thread just because the edition is wrong or something minor they only reject it when it's blatantly a troll thread like /fgo/ rejecting a completely blank OP when they usually fill it to the brim.

First thing to remember is /gsg/ is filled with casual redditors and any Matrix Games title is better than any Paradox title.

I don't know jack shit about any Paradox games, I just thought they were well-received. In any case I'm gravitating more towards the Total War series. Is Shogun 2 good?

EU series:

>EU1 - old but the beginning
>EU2 - Good
>EU2 - For the Glory - the greatest, the best historical simulation with plausible results
>EU3 - Great - mostly because of magna mundi mod
>EU4 - absolute shit and a godawful map to boot

CK

>CK1 - fun, but meme events, horrible AI, and terrible UI
>CK2 - good base design ruined by irrelevant feature creep and DLC that just adds more maps to paint as opposed to any deeper simulation of mechanics for what is nominally its namesake: crusader kings and medieval europe
>>
>>146921637
Anything created by Matrix is good and is /gsg/.

Total War is not /gsg/, it's as shallow as HOY4 and Stelltoria.
>>
>>146921661
It should be
>>
>>146921637
I think so at least
Go to the total war thread for more recs though, /gsg/ isn't /twg/ and isn't quite welcoming of discussion of that series.
They're well received certainly and I won't pretend they're horrible games, but their price with all DLC jewing and Paradox's horrible business practices (namely pushing massive amounts of DLC with broken features before fixing the last one since the mods fix it all anyway)

>>146921935
I think __________uninstall.exe would be a solid name.
>>
>>146921114
Warhammer is a meme game.
Mods like Third Age, Hyrule and the Great War are more detailed and fun.

As for the best, in my humble opinion Medieval 2 is the undisputed masterpiece of the Total War franchise.
Shogun 2 and Napoopan are comfy as fuck tho.
Ashilla (Attila) is the finished version of Rome 2.

Stay away from Empire and Rome2. That shit was cancer.
>>
>>146921724
EU4 is kind of good now though if you manage to ignore fucking mana. It's honestly overhauled a lot of the more broken systems well - corruption is an actual threat at times to massive fuckhuge empires, diplomacy makes more sense, borders don't gore QUITE as much, a relevant trade system, and getting rid of badboy for the slightly-less-annoying and much more logical AE.

No. Honestly I think Shogun 2 lacks nothing Med 2 had that was important besides MAYBE non-replenishing armies, it's the most polished form of TW before the R2->WH era.

Your first mistake was thinking HoI4 would ever be hard given the direction of Paradox. They wanted to make it easier and less complex. To be honest, it is very much a stretch to even call it a war game now. It is simply EU: WW2.

You should try a Matrix WW2 game instead, like War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition
>>
>>146922401
I liked the grand map design more in the older total war games, but yeah obviously the RTS aspects were better in Shogun 2/Medieval 2.

EU IV is harder than this nonsense. At this point it's draw plan, wait a bit, hit button, then just send paratroopers behind their front and you've won. And that's pretty high brow, when usually just the hitting button part will let you win.

There was the original Gary Grisby War in the Pacific. That is older.

A newer version was made by a newer team (essentially a rework of the original game) around seven years ago. It continues to be updated by a dedicated fan/dev team with beta patches regularly, a decent mod community, and a small, but very close, dedicated multiplayer community.

I just can't do it.
How much of the DLC is necessary for that too?

I've also got two colonies in Canada. What should I name those?
>>
>>146922926
what, you don't like brilliant and logical mechanics like shattered retreat?
>>
>>146922720
Isn't it amazing how a 7-year old game can still manage to be infinitely better and light years ahead of Paradox's latest releases?
>>
>>146923001
i dont even care about shattered retreat even though i dont like it

i just get bored so easily, the game is just too easy outside of a war where you're outnumbered

>>146922925
>Heart of Darkness was over 3 years ago

desu, I'd rather have Victoria II be dead than keep going under Paradox's new system and be dead to me.

Having said that, it's not like the old mandatory DLC system was any good either, but the way HOI4 has been whored out is only a sign of things to come for Paradox's more difficult to get into franchises

It feels amazing though when Gloria Maxima Invicta (one of my commanders) pulls a Cannae and kills 30k with 16k on a plains battle.
It really was a Cannae, the flanks were really weak for some reason and folded, Gloria's center almost folded before the flanking bonus obliterated the Frankish army

Hey Wiz, here's a thought for you now that you're gonna be helping out with hoi4: Make the entirety of Great Britain's cost a single province and force the UK AI to station a certain number of troops there, perhaps a percentage of the enemy strength.
>>
>>146924029
Wiz has the whiteknight sjw look and demeanor. He probably picked it up in his commie Swedish school. Such an upbringing tends to give people delusions of their own moral and intellectual superiority while maintaining a false modesty towards the unwashed masses.
