I have five sons, and five Kingdoms to distribute between them. The Kingdoms are: Normandy, England, Wales, Scotland, and Egypt.
Who should get what? Obviously Baldwin is primary heir and will get Normandy. I have to live with that. But what about the rest? I was Egypt should go to Alexander, England to Roger, Wales to Orderic, and Scotland to Roland.

Unlike the last two Crusades, we have an abundance of kin we can install as beneficiaries. Nineteen of them, in fact. But I think I've narrowed it down to these two. Which one should be our beneficiary?
And where should we redirect the crusade? Our silly Pope wants to send it to Moldavia which we will have to change.

Stagnation. Not in the "lol thred ded" sense but in the sense that they hate the topic they're supposed to discuss more than they like it.
/gsg/ (at least the actual people who aren't from some offsite raiding group) is pissed at Paradox's incompetence and money grubbing DLC policies due to their monopoly on the genre. It also doesn't help that they've largely only focused on one or two games almost exclusively out of their huge list they've touted on their infographic for the past 7+ years, and have bizarre cliques that are constantly infighting with each other.
The fact that they have a pejorative for people who use 4chan's basic functions, like the ability to reply to posts directly, should tell you all you need to know about /gsg/.

Avoid attacking units unless it will provide you a tactical advantage or you've encircled and are about stack-wipe them. Try to use only horses to attack early-game to reduce losses. Generally Vic 2 combat is more about logistics and stationing your units in the right place and less about spamming a gorillion modifiers (EU4) or human wave tactics (CK2).

there is doe. you manage your population, you can exploit your population or let it grow, there are different resources and you choose how to manage and use them, there is researching "tech". its really no different from paradogsgsg in this regard.
>>
>>1868802
> you can exploit your population
Okay, how? You literally have no interaction with your pop besides being able to bloodhunt or kill it with rituals.
>>
>>1868804
growth/death scales. death scales will kill your population over time and in exchange you get more points to spend in god creation.
order/turmoil scales. turmoil will make your population militant, they will pay less taxes, they will move to other provinces, and in exchange you get more points to spend in god creation.
meaning you are exploiting the population.
growth and order scales are the opposite. your population will grow and pay more taxes.
you make the active decision how you will manage population in every game, when you create your god.
>>
>>1868807
>you make the active decision how you will manage population in every game
Like there's no real interaction in that regard besides temples and that really just function as however number of candles in a province. Pop doesn't exist in Dominions beyond that of a near static number tied to a province. You can't repopulate dead provinces in vanilla for example.
>>
>>1868809
>there's no real interaction
there is. you decide how you will interact with population while you are creating your god. this doesnt go for population only, you make many such decisions while creating your god because how you create your god will determine how your game plays out.
god creation makes a huge difference. and you can make very different gods for any given nation.
that means a lot of your macro game choices are already made while you create your god, not in the middle of a game. to cast the most powerful rituals in the game you need high magic paths, and usually your nation doesnt have those by default. so in god creation you already make the decision that you will aim to cast those rituals and you give your god the paths required accordingly. if you dont, and you want to cast those spells later, youre out of luck. likewise, you cant whimsically decide on turn 20 that your order 2/growth 2 god will now genocide the population and be turmoil 2/death 2. you decide it in god creation.
its all planning. you plan a lot in god creation. and this is most certainly "interaction".
>>
>>1868816
Yeah but you can't resettle pop, or tax them more (at least past Dom 3), the only real difference for different pop types is just getting cheaper PD if your civs match, and any population is more than willing to swing between Pangaea and Ermor worship as long as there's candles (even if there's no population there). 75% of Dominions is tactical, and pop really just exists as a blood and gold resource rather than something to really interact with.
>>
inviting nfag here was a mistake
>>
>>1868818
>and pop really just exists as a blood and gold resource rather than something to really interact with
of course its not as in-depth as victoria 2 population because that would be beside the point but there is interaction nonetheless, which is fundamentally on par with paradogsgsg.
>can't resettle pop
why would you. if a province becomes devoid of population because of death and disease (thats what death scale is) why would it be even remotely easy to resettle that province? at that point the terrain even changes from what it was originally to "wasteland". is the chernobyl exclusion zone being resettled today?
>75% of Dominions is tactical
what do you mean by that? planning how your game will play out during god creation, before the game even starts, is not strategy?

Yeah but if your cap gets its pop deleted by a bad event or spell there's no way to bring it up. The vast majority of stuff you get in Dominions is based around combat and hiring more troops/mages/priests. There is no real mana system compared to most strategy games though which is nice.

Theoretically, how hard is it to make an indepth but extremely regionalized grand startegy game as someone with very little—might as well be no—coding experience? The more I play games like CK2, the more I am stumped by mechanical historical inaccuracies and limits and I have been thinking of various ways to mitigate that.

All I want—for now—is a grand strategy game set in the high middle ages that tries to accurately model the Lower Countries (where I am from) in that time period. Is that an insurmountable task for a humanitiestard, you think?

This is probably the best it's going to get for a while, there's 4 DLC that are also just straight up free right now. I suppose EU5 is around the corner and they are juicing the players for the last they got.

The actual shame is that they almost figured out how to run this DLC business at the end. The actual way of making the game should have always been such that they integrate the oldest DLC's to the base game as they release new ones. You could argue about the schedule but it probably should be 2 DLC's on sale for roughly a year (with 2 DLC's being released per year) where every time a new DLC comes the older one gets integrated into the game. That way they can still cash out on people who want the DLC now but lower development cost and increase opportunities when they know that all players have access to features instead of trying to work around a hodge podge of "I own these 3 but not these 5 DLC's"

Thanks, it helped me a lot. Also fuck this mod, basically if something happens "too early" or something randomly goes wrong the game will just give back the territories to the owner nation. I saw a Germany steamroll France and getting Ardennes, only for the territory to go back to France. It's basically the same thing that happened here >>1868567 and I hate it. Something similar happened with colonisation too, it started suddenly without any tech being actually researched by anybody. GP just started annexing shit without even fighting wars, then started declaring wars to all the african nations using the CB that should arrive only AFTER the partition of Africa. In the meantime I'm still here waiting for my fucking turn, since it seems only the player gets the short stick. Why railroad shit jesus christ let the people have fun.

Hello,
I’ve been a grand strategy fan since I was 14 years old. I literally taught myself how to play the hard gameplay mechanics of HOI3 and the intricacies of Victoria 2’s economy and Pop system before I entered High School. I’m that big of a fan.

From my experience in the past (been a community member since 2010) there are a lot of good people that just have an interest in grand strategy that I have met from here, grand strategy forums, and even unexpected places like english and french speaking imageboards.

There is a huge dark underbelly of racism among grand strategy fans. This isn’t even a baseless accusation. I’m African American, so the amount of people that are non-white are a minority in the community. A majority of the fanbase of Grand Strategy Games are European and North American which is perfectly fine.

However there is an alarming amount of white nationalists in the community.

Victoria Ultimate had community members that were white nationalists working on the mod and it was a featured mod in the community. It was THE Victoria 2 mod until everything fell apart.
>>
Stellaris had a mod about Space Nazi’s a few weeks after release and it took weeks for it to be taken down.

TNO at its very beginnings had a Francoist on the development team.

If I were to check right now I’m sure there are a couple Nazi-wank HOI4 mods on steam. I don’t even think I need to talk about how HOI4 has attracted controversy for these type of mods.

I rarely give information about my race or background in fear of doxxing and due to the fact I don’t think it matters where I’m from. I’m even submitting this from a burner account because I’m a regular contributor to this subreddit.

I don’t think and I am not asking for popular mods to be shut down. I just believe that mods that explicitly support genocide or are Nazi-wanks should be removed from steam and that the grand strategy community especially modding communities do there best to remove and deplatform any people sympathetic to white nationalism within there community.

Grand strategy is ultimately a game. It shouldn’t be escapism for radicals (left or right) to project nationalism. I find grand strategy more fun when bringing a nation I play as from the brink rather than playing as an Ideology I support and map painting.

All this can be properly attributed to folly, for it is she who sees that a wife is attractive to her husband and a husband to his wife, that peace reigns in the home and their relationship continues. A husband is laughed at, cuckolded, called a worm and who knows what else when he kisses away the tears of his unfaithful wife, but how much happier it is for him to be thus deceived than to wear himself out with unremitting jealousy, strike a tragic attitude, and ruin everything!

whats the meta for cavalry to infantry ratio? should I deploy as many cavalry per stack as my cav/inf ratio allows?
>>
>>1872690
>should I deploy as many cavalry per stack as my cav/inf ratio allows?
very risky unless your ratio allows 100% cav armies, as the moment your infantry sustains slightly higher casualties in proportion to your cavalry you get that horrendous penalty
better to just not bother with cavalry and go full infantry unless you can get a 100% cav ratio and are stacking cav bonuses

cav is pretty dogshit for its cost
>>
lets say my ratio allows 100% cav, what should I do then? and should I have as much artillery as cav+infantry? I know you should have as much artillery as you do infantry because the artillery stays behind and doesnt take up a combat width slot
>>
>>1872690
There's 3 basic strategies, which one you pick depends on the scenario you are in.
The no cav is what you use if you are in competitive setting, full combat width of infantry is the strongest force if you are able to reinforce your infantry with more infantry after it takes losses. MP build is just stack (or how many combats you intend to have going at the same time) of artillery up to combat width and then endless waves of infantry. The same applies particularly late game when fighting someone stronger than you (though that shouldn't really happen) since AI's will field up to combat width and you may want to be efficient with your battles.
Cav is slightly stronger than infantry 1v1 but costs 2.5 as much so in a proper fight they always lose even if you have 100% cav ratio in the early game, later on that's not even true in a 1v1 scenario every time thanks to artillery

The flank cav is when you add 2, 4 or even 6 cav to a stack of inf and art. The point is that cav can flank further than infantry can so adding some can make you win fights decisively where your enemy has less troops than you which is very helpful against the AI. That only works if you have more troops than the enemy and neither side is hitting the combat width so it's mostly useful with 2 or 4 cav during the early and mid games. You may want to use this strat as general purpose way of playing in SP

The 100% cav build is when you just replace your infantry with cav, it should only really be used if you have cav ratio of 100 as otherwise you may as well just go with flank cav strat and only if you have actual cavalry bonuses. The point is to just stack wipe enemies as quickly as you can and if that doesn't work you lose. Good for hordes during the early game

In general cav is just ass and if you don't have huge bonuses towards it specifically it's rarely worth it's cost. I usually just use the flank build but that's mostly because I don't give a shit and think it's the coolest army comp
>>
>>1872699
Always have as much art as you have front line units if you can afford it, up to combat width of course. Early game it's probably better to go from 10 inf 2 art to 20 inf 6 art than 10 + 10 however and just ensure some art is there to siege down forts with. If you use cav then cav counts towards your frontline.
>>
so when do you think they'll let us back into /vg/...
>>
You want more front line than arty though to prevent arty from taking damage.
>>
We need to complete the focus tree and take over /vst/ first. Once we do that we get free permanent claims on all of /vg/
>>
>>1872699
you could go 100% cav armies then, but dont fall for that, go for 2/4/6 just for flanking, phase them out when you get to filling the combat width.
and dont fall for the early artillery meme, get them mainly for sieges only until you get like tech 16

I usually don't either but so far lategame has been suprisingly enjoyable. Fighting the colonial powers is still a bit of a slog alby.

I just noticed that many parts of Europe benefit from the warm period in Imperator: Rome. They enjoy an entire 1.5% extra population growth.
My best province has a growth of 0.6% whilst Rome has 1.8%. How do us Irish ever compete with that?

It's time for a new Crusade. It's directed at Romagna, which is now ruled by a Waldensian.
Should we redirect it somewhere else? Arabia? Mesopotamia? Persia? Anatolia?

>... people who live without trees or shrubs. ... in the east, to the coasts of the ocean, a number of races in such needy conditions exist; but this also applies to the races of peoples which are called the large and small Chaucen, which we have seen in the north. There, two times in each period of a day and a night, the ocean with a fast tide submerges an immense plain, thereby the hiding ... whether the area is sea or land. There this miserable race inhabits raised pieces ground or platforms, which they have moored by hand above the level of the highest known tide. Living in huts built on the chosen spots, they seem like sailors in ships if water covers the surrounding country, but like shipwrecked people when the tide has withdrawn itself, and around their huts they catch fish which try to escape with the expiring tide. It is for them not possible to keep herds and live on milk such as the surrounding tribes. They cannot even fight with wild animals, because all the bush country lies too far away. They braid ropes of sedges and rushes from the marshes with which they make nets to be able to catch fish, and they dig up mud with their hands and dry it more in wind than in the sun, and with soil as fuel they heat their food and their own bodies, frozen in northern wind. Their only drink comes from storing rain water in tanks front of their houses. And these are the races which, if they were now conquered by the Roman nation, say that they will fall into slavery! It is only too true: Destiny saves people as a punishment.
