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, July 9th:
1776 – George Washington orders the Declaration of Independence to be read out to members of the Continental Army in Manhattan, while thousands of British troops on Staten Island prepare for the Battle of Long Island.
1944 – Finland wins the Battle of Tali-Ihantala, the largest battle ever fought in northern Europe. The Red Army withdraws its troops from Ihantala and digs into a defensive position, thus ending the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive.

Im still working on that grand strategy game. I am trying to make maps of menus right now and go through the logical progressions of governments based off national techs.

As such if your say russia you have a russian tech tree, and if your communist you have a russian tech tree. Certain techs like Stalinism require some techs from multiple trees

Now the big question. Say soviet russia doesnt take stalinism and decides to fill out the full Marxist tech branch.

My idea was that at the end of the Marxist tech tree it just says "The Final Step" which makes any nation that takes it stop existing. Becoming a Stateless Socialist Commune. All provinces owned by it become semi autonomous 'nations' and all are allied to one another and share resources produced by pops and rgos.

However this means that the player now either game overs or picks a new nation.

Is this idea too memey and would this even be desirable for players? Your my main demographic so I want your opinions.

I already am trying to make it as in depth and obtuse as possible, par your suggestions.

How important is developing provinces? It costs monarch points, which is so useful for everything else, but it seems like not doing it will leave me kind of weak.

NGL, as a meme loving communist I think this is a genuinely awful idea.

I don't mean to be rude or a shitter I just genuinely think this is a horrible idea, and there's no way you can accurately depict the time period you hope to depict. I think you are better off trying to make a wargame that is exceptionally deep. Maybe make a very complex wargame base that can easily take modules for different wars. I'm sorry.

Simply enough to make things harder for me, that and I have a really snazzy way of making warfare change over time based on tech and this will allow me to do it.

It goes regiments -> fronts -> insurgencies and occupations

Regiments are like any gs game
Fronts are lines with a thickness that acts as one gigantic unit in how it occupies. But like a trade route in how resources are distributed.
And insurgencies are pops that wreck shit for other pops and can eventually rise as a regiment. This is the only one that can attack rgos directly rather than just make them less efficient from occupation and looting.

Oh no dont worry. Any input is good input, even if its "your in way over your head" because it makes me change perspectives
Ive already made a wargame, its on tabletop simulator (well was, i took it off so i can make custom pieces) it is deep in that you have to worry about supply and morale.

I want to take it the step further with this.

Two questions:

1. Am I correct in understanding that it is always best to isolate enemy exclaves from the sea, as I have done in this picture, to deny them resupply?

2. How do I transport troops by sea between friendly territories? WhenI take my africa troops and order them to move to Europe they take the long way around - via Turkey and the Middle Easy (all friendly territory). Surely, transport by convoys would be more convenient...?

(Supplies arrive by sea in Italian Somaliland and there are no allied fleets in the Mediteranean)

>What is the best size of demesne in CK2?
It's whatever your demesne limit is. I think it's best to hold onto as much land as possible without incurring penalties, even if you need to give up some of it later on to please vassals you've had the extra income in the meantime. Also keep your number of titles to a minimum, e.g. if you're a king don't create every duchy possible, vassals don't like it (if I remember correctly).

The more you export (as decided by your economic policy), the more efficient your factories are. That's pretty much it. Exporting leads to resource deficits, but increased factory output and research.

Yes.

>>147918462
That is an interesting problem, but both kinda negate each other. With Islamic Law people are more likely to emigrate, so closed borders won't block them.

I will probably revise it at some point as someone brought it up to me that the islamic law stuff isn't entirely correct.

Persian irredentism will probably involve them going east and into the caucasus.
