how do you prefer to play grand strategy games?
i can be militaristic or diplomatic but "tall" is code for "losing"
>>724118717I turtle and focus on economy and diplomacy and only using my military to make small gains and advances which would bolster my economy with more resources or give me more political power and then slowly put any excess economic gains I have into military not to actually use it in war but just to have a large enough military force to threaten my enemies into not attacking or leveraging even more political power from them

I roleplay court intrigue and sometimes pace around my room with my hands clasped behind my back, brooding and muttering about my political rivals. I sometimes grab my glass of water and mimic like I'm holding a chalice of alcohol while I say cringy dialogue at the other fictional characters/ambassadors from other nations.
>>724119232if i'm expanding i try to keep things at a really boring 50 (except for newly conquered territory, obviously) so i have a decent buffer zone to maintain no penalties
>>724119348What dialogue do you say out loud when you're playing crusader kings and you need to marry or fuck your sister or other blood relatives?
The British and Roman Empires showed us that you need militarism to ensure the security of your healthy trade network So both
>>724119348it's hard to roleplay count intrigue when the only penalty to killing them is the chance of a single shitty spearman unit appearing inside your domain that you oneshot in a single turn instantly quelling the rebellion
>>724119763What about the dutch? They just needed boats that go faster than military ships
>>724118717I KNOW FOLKS IN WICHITA, AS WELL AS IN BOMBAY
>>724119763germanic militarism isn't actually about military effectiveness but about aura farming
>>724118717I prefer to not play them
>>724118717I go full LARP, playing democracy in HOI4? Vaguely adhere to the goal of demobilization until the war starts. Playing a paranoid schizo in CK? You better believe I am murdering my vassals on a whim and starting a civil war. My goals are usually vaguely to provide the highest quality of life to my virtual people.
>>724119232This, I find it gives the most realistic playthroughs.
