How fares your empire, /gsg/?

HIP and the GoT mods come with duel-enhancing mods that add a duel proficiency stat to a bunch of traits and has fleshed out duels.

I didn't reply to the OP? Use the correct infopic next time.

But that's not really combat in the game sense
Why did the other thread get deleted?
>>148183863
because autism
this isnt what I wanted
none of this is what I wanted
why is this happening?I cant fix this, can i :(
>>148183689
Too much rng, and I just really can't figure it out. Losing an even battle with better commanders doesn't make sense to me. Losing an even battle with a defensive advantage doesn't make sense to me either.
>>148183863
A bunch of posts in the old thread also got deleted, so the mod author was probably from radical yugoslavia and got ip banned
>>148183948
I thought the "R&I controlling /gsg/" conspiracy thing was a meme.
>>148184019
I didn't get banned and I'm not part of those fucking groups.
I fucking hate Burgundy.
I lost two wars to those smug cunts.
New plan: form Cromwellian Britain, take the rest of France, build colonial Empire, and then smash them in the 18th century.
>>148184069
It's a conspiracy thing, see >>148175468

>>148184157
>doesn't unify British Isles first
this is disgusting
I am upset
>>148184271
Gotta cuck France fast before they become unstoppable. Then Burgundy began slapping my shit, so I was focused on trying to contain them.
I've failed to contain them, so it's time to abandon my continental ambitions for now.
British Isles weren't united until 1704 IRL anyway.
>>148184198
I'm friends with Cobraah on Steam. Should I just kill myself?
Lads, how much will I suck at a gsgame if I'm coming from RTS like AOE2 and 3? Thinking about getting EU4 or HoI4
>>148184198
How does HPM meming have anything to do with this?
>>148184198
Yeah, the evidence is right in front of you and you still desperately defend your massive autism of wiping any thread that doesn't have the shitstain of your first post on it.
Fuck off you massive fucking sperg.
Don't reply
>>148184397
Nothing, thats just shitposter bullshit. The autist controlling the thread is true tho.
don't you just love all the circlejerk drama
>>148184157

Everyone sucks while they learn so I don't know.
>>148184739
My monitor has meh contrast.
>>148184375
only thing AoEII and EU4 have in common is their historical setting, so you'll suck at the beginning
plus AoIII is all about micro, while GS games have a much more broad focus

No you can't

Nice Ireland
Been playing my Latin Empire CK2 convert for about 100 years with a focus on ensuring a stable Catholic Jerusalem. France rival'd me earlier and I've been fixing their cancer the past decade or so.

>>148187870
SOO GROßß
>>148186153
for a conversion game? not bad
>>148186390
When I converted to CK2 most of the Kingdoms had vassals which were stronger than them and so civil war broke out nearly everywhere. Poland was hit the hardest, but after I reunited Hungary into a proper ally, the Hungarians are helping the Poles do the same.
>>148188362
>not converting straight to Vicky 2 and skipping EUIV
Big mistake
>>148187896
I have a love/hate relationship with it. I am trying to figure out the operands to limit what the AI builds so we don't have thousands of divisions slowing everything down. Countries such as Russia and China should have a lot of cheap divisions, but most everyone else should be limited to what their industry can support.
It will probably be about two months until Paradox releases the next patch, so it might be time to go on to something else.
>>148188485
I just bought it since I'm tired of CK2. Heard some good things, was I mislead?
I stayed away from III because it was very confusing and at the time I sucked at grand strategy.
For some reason my christion army is flying the flag of ISIS. Is this some weird bug in HiP?
>>148183689
that's why, it was never finished
>>148188708

GROß
>>148188708
It is a swedish game after all
>>148188642
You were mislead.
It has lots of nice features, and is accessible, but the AI isn't there, fully-fleshed out countries aren't there, and the whole thing slows down to a crawl before it is all over.
Tell me about Germany, why is it go gross
>>148189382

>>148189382
Germany must be groß

fyi actual P*les unironically want to go past le Oder-Neisse into Brandenburg and the rest of Pomerania

>>148189575
1939 Germany+Danzig+Alsace+Luxembourg+south tyrol is perfect imo
>>148189575
I'd rather germany be under polish control than keep being destroyed more every day by its current leadership teebeehech
>>148188485
What needs to happen is for divisions in the field to require upkeep. Currently the only barrier is manpower and that is a brickwall, but if things took supplies to maintain, fuel to run, or even just took a constant attrition modifier then eventually you would run into a soft cap where your industry simply can't keep up maintaining your army, let alone expanding it.
Also AI don't ever disband divisions so run into problems when they do run out of manpower.
>>148189208
There's historical precedent.
>>148189804
+Poland+Schleswig+Lothringen is perfect imo
>>148189804
Germany+the planet is perfect.
>>148190571
Germany-Germany is perfect.

>>148191405
You mean German
Want to roleplay as a comfy Turkish nation where some young Ataturk comes to power during the Oriental Crisis, slowly turning it into a modernized, technologically advanced diplomatic powerhorse and keeping up as a secular republic until fascism gets invented. What should my borders look like before I go fascist? Should I keep Albania and Bosnia, maybe even Bulgaria? Is taking Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan acceptable as I'd be a secular republic? What about the Middle East, just let Egypt keep the Levant and fuck it if some European power grabs it? Where should our border lie then, Adana, Aleppo or Lebanon + Syria? And what do I do with Lybia?
Also thinking about colonizing Djibouti, Madagascar and some Asian regions but I'm not so sure about that.

How is it SJW? What are the current alternatives? I have not played CK in a long time. I miss the good old days when there was no choice necessary because CK2+ was a plainly better version of the base game.

Ottomemes is one of the most fun nations to blob like hell as
But seeing as you're looking to be secular Turkey I would recommend holding onto your European holdings (historically Bosnia and Albanian were very loyal and valuable territories for the Ottomans), taking Greece, and setting up puppets in the levant
Definitely take Georgia and shit

>>148193854
Yes I let rebels wins. I kind of cheated because they spawned in Poland, so I pretended the tzar had a change of mind or something and used the console to break the country. Losing 50 prestige and 50 WE was painful though.
But that rebellion was followed by 700k jacobins that managed to siege the capital, I managed to unsiege it quickly, so I suppose that counts.

Does Nationalist Spain actually ever join the Axis? I've never had a game where they join in the fighting.
>>148195645
it happened before tho
maybe it's the swiss culture minimod idk
>>148195691
Yes, I've played about a dozen games, and I don't think that they have ever remained neutral. Sometimes they have been a useless distraction, answering the call of arms after Berlin has fallen, but if the Fascists win, they are Axis.
>>148193793
Pls
>>148195835
I don't think you understand.
HPM has an event about a Polish revolt in Krakow, and if Russia accedes Austria gets a conquest CB. Russia almost always gives Austria the go ahead.
>>148196171
If you don't join the revolt though nothing happens
>>148196171
I get the imperial restoration cb not the conquest one

Almost done unifying India. Getting the last bit of it in the north is going to be a pain in the ass, though, since it's all unified under Rajastan. Truces are a bitch.

My moral authority is 100% because of how frequently I'm winning holy wars and how often my vassals are converting provinces for me.
Each province conversion is +1 to MA, each holy war is +3.
Furthermore, because I've been so thoroughly crushing the Hindus, their moral authority is in single-digits.
I also control three holy sites (I made a mini-mod to rearrange a couple of holy sites, including putting some of Nestorianism's in southern India because of the journeys of Saint Thomas the Apostle).
The end result is that my Court Chaplain has about a 20 to 35 percent chance of converting a county in any given year.
>>148197875

>inb4 you post a pic of proving an Arumbaposter is from a steamgruppe
There isn't a single Arumbaposter, there are many of us

Kind of related, when I was at the hospital maybe about a month ago I met this really old German dude. Apparently his brother was drafted just before the fall of Berlin.
Some German officers came to the school, the principal held a short speech, and then they marched off to fight the Russians just a few miles away.
His brother was 16 at that time, and died just days after being drafted.

No lad, when the main guy earning money is your poor peasant farmer they can't afford to send the boys who could be working the fields the luxury of going to school
Shit sometimes they drafted boys as young as 14, the concept of childhood was only developed during the era

Why did Arumba shut off comments? I checked on his channel again and saw comments were disabled. I remember him getting autistic over me correcting the way he pronounced Chalcedonian.

He had a complete meltdown after people memed on him in the comments and he started taking antidepressants.
