>this day in history, the 23rd of June
nice, finally a proper thread with a traditional /gsg/ op fixture

sometimes i miss slavomir

theres nobody in the bottom left, only in
middle left

so which would you guys choose

>AI PERSONALITIES

>historical
>ai nations are assigned historically appropriate personalities reflecting their documented ambitions and political character
or
>random
>ai nations receive a randomly assigned personality at the start of the game
or
>random per age
ai nations receive randomly assigned personality at the start of each new age
or
>random per ruler
ai nations receive a randomly assigned personality whenever a new ruler takes the throne

shit, i fucked that greentext up
oh well

so which would you guys choose

>AI PERSONALITIES

>historical
>ai nations are assigned historically appropriate personalities reflecting their documented ambitions and political character
or
>random
>ai nations receive a randomly assigned personality at the start of the game
or
>random per age
>ai nations receive randomly assigned personality at the start of each new age
or
>random per ruler
>ai nations receive a randomly assigned personality whenever a new ruler takes the throne

fixed

>nations receive personality
just play CK already. what is this cope?

what personality would romania have?

how about it be based on some kind of traits that a ruler might have, hmm...

kleptomaniac

nah thats cringe, it should be entirely ruler based, and based on other factors like profitability, naval/inland, culture and other stuff
like manchus should want to blob china and then if rulers get bored they stop, not always blob because they were assigned hitler at gamestart or never do anything because muh hungary never blobbed irl

picture saved from the gsg i used to know, back when we cared
now we treat our aar providers like cattle, with no respect no nothing
pole5fag posted his game Daily, analyse what the replies did to him... called them a sissy, said he's playing too slow, said poland sucks... he might not come back after this one you know? he might rly be gone


random per ruler for chill playthrous, historical or random depending On which one leads to biggest blobs on average for challenge playthroughs

yeah well i posted an aar and opinions were mixed but there was some decent support for it
i just got a little bit bored of being so op and anyway my screenshots got backlogged and were so long ago now that i'd have no idea what to write for them if i did want to post them

he said he was banned, he'll be back
he's still got me, his first fan

i called him those words and i dont regret it, he plays too slow. we will fix him and make him the great aarposter he can be

The more things change the more one thing stays the same - Warhammer winning

>playing slow and immersing yourself in the game is BAD
>you must ONLY minmax and blob everyone as quick as you can
some of you are spiritually mmorpg players.

how are the lotr mods for ck2/3 so popular? i'm not a lotrfag but i did watch the movies way back, and iirc the entire universe is one big pure-good-vs-pure-evil-fest. where does medieval court politicking, dynasty squabbles, intrigue, and blinding imprisoned rulers fit into all of this?

96 ok but it doesn't count if you didn't post your campaign itt

doesnt latin empire have zero content specific to them
it's just like playing a random christian feudal state somewhere out of europe

what content should it have

dunno either. they're completely barebones with all the content centered around the usual.

Lat8n empire id just gay empirr

>playing slow and immersing yourself in the game is BAD
what the fuck is he immersing himself in here is literally not a single war that has happened since the start of the game and it has been DAYS

why are you complaining about lack of war the real issue is that he's played through only four years of the game in that much time

how is that an issue?
hes doing over 1 year per day, feels thematic doesn't it

https://voca.ro/1fusXv75wmER <--- complainers who bitch about game speed

Makes me think of those youtubers who need to content farm ASAP so they installed gamebreaking "remove hour ticks" mods that compeletley fuck up the economy, AI and just about everything else just so they can speed 5 through the game faster to post their campaign on reddit and then bitch and moan about the economy and ai, sadly paradox can't just go out and call then retarded

>Makes me think of those youtubers who need to content farm ASAP so they installed gamebreaking "remove hour ticks" mods
the game would be better without hour ticks, it's not their fault for trusting paradox when they said the game is moddable, that modding one thing wouldn't break 15 other things
the game should just have no hour ticks, remove 3d portraits, remove character bloat all together, reduce the amount of provinces and just generally be optimized better so it can run at a decent speed, as of now eu5 on"speed 5" runs like vic2 on speed 2
the ui and map are so fuckin ugly too, I don't understand how they keep fucking it up when their games used to look so perfect

>plays as poland
>one guy insists that taking modern polish borders is blabbing
how is danzig as poland blobbing ? that's like saying if you're playing as germany you shouldn't take holstein

the goal of poland is to blob
look at the commonwealth, that's what it was
would be even more kino to subsume all the east slavs and blob to the pacific

>>2436124
Ck2 one really wasn't very popular
>where does medieval court politicking, dynasty squabbles, intrigue, and blinding imprisoned rulers fit into all of this
All of these things exist in Middle Earth even if mostly in the background

jo the Stellaris Nomads are pretty nice when you understand them

>my generous character feels sad giving one of my vassals higher obligations because he literally murdered my sister
I only started playing 3 yesterday and I'm already tired of this absolute bullshit. I think I'll mod the entire stress shit out of my game as soon as I can. why couldn't they have just kept 2's system? you could properly roleplay and interpret each event and choice as you wanted to.

christ, i worded that green part horribly.
basically, the vassal murdered my sister and i'm only giving him higher vassal obligations for it, as i didn't like her enough to be all that mad about it. but my character, because he's got the generous trait, will now receive stress from doing that. despite the vassal having obviously and completely deserved having his obligations upped, and there being absolutely nothing non-generous about doing that. still, the game interprets this for you and does this horribly.

This makes perfect sense though
Generosity is not the same as forgiveness

yes, precisely. so he should not be feeling sad for punishing the vassal. yet he does. do you get the point?

>you could properly roleplay
most players are incapable of roleplaying and just seek to powergame and blooooob
stress was designed as an attempt to enforce players to "act" like their characters traits dictate
but, exactly like you say, it forces them into pre-determined decisions that exist in a vacuum
generous = doormat who can't stand ever not letting anyone get the better of them
proud = absolute narcissist
etc
it's a stupida fucking mechanic
but so are most mechanics introduced in ck3

>waaaaaaahhhh they should remove the hour ticks i'm an impatient zoomie
your zoomer tears are so tasty

if you're against hourly ticks you are a sick, worthless eu4bab paedophile who cannot partake joy in resetting trade goods with 14 times the ticks
now that's what gsgs are supposed to be. victoria 3 showed us the way and eu5 is following it

bruh i wish i was the ant and blud jizzed on me bro

You known!^!÷/ what? Eu5 is done done doje for eu5tfagpole is not par5qkiny for 2 Two days and fuck this shit mang fuck eu5 is funking DONE for this time this guy was singlehandedly keeping it alive

>gay this
>tranny that
where's my gsg?

dead, jim

i'm busy playing total war

the tranny that plays gsg will be here in 2 days or so I'm told, until then we just have to wait and hope we remain sane

I like how she asked for thoughts and opinions and there has yet to be a single thought and/or opinion

to be fair i think what he's doing risks a major threat to my interests
no i'm not going to elaborate, that would be me undermining my own interests

>he

how are tour interests in any way served by how someone plays eu5 I don't get it
either you want kyiv independence or you don't, either you want poland to support it or you don't, i don't get it
stop forcing the meme of anon being trans its not funny

back in the day I would shitpostingly say: "just like HPM players" but without the possibility of grandi seeing it, its not much fun
you ever wonder where in life he's in right meow?

in hell, i hope

Cons to joining an independence faction: you are forced to militarly intervene in a war where toure not the war leader and you have nothing to gain other than money and pr3stige (Not even slaves)
you're supporting a country that has bigger blob potential than you
you're gay
you get to have big boots sex with marines and gays
you fuck trannies
your troops commit somewhere else and thus can't he defending the homeland
Pros:
you get to loot I guess?
you get to hope and pray that the ai takes max Monay and you get liken30% of that
Kyirv is a gay rucking country and you shouldn't help it because its gay and their zelyinsli is a homo

knib should be blobbed into, not supported to blob itself

you should be blobbed into

is eu5 like eu4 where tou can feed personal unions directly?

I really wanted to make a game that captures the essence of GSG while keeping it as simplistic as possible.
So, I'm leaning towards some type of "multi-dimenssional" tower defence game, where the player controls cities that can be attacked from multiple directions, and the main gameplay is sending garrisons to these cities and picking the right people to lead them.

how did it come to this???

the polish eu5 campaign mindbroke gsg
the only man with a passion for these games remaining in chat and he's been posting bangers after bangers even though objectively nothing fucking happened even though he's been positing for like a week
Seriously the big plot twist that's supposed to keep us at the edge of our seats: he may or may not support independence of an Eastern European backwater that he does not even border, and you know what? It funking works, can't wait to find out.
His title gets inflated when he's fighting a civil war, that's just a count equivalent

he may inspire more aarchads to post here. truly a man of our times, gott schütze /gsg/!

Check title historya nd tells us, how did it come to be? The power is yours.

openfront is like lol on steroids
watching one out of the fifty retards on my team get raped because nobody knows how to send troops and then watching the enemy team snowball and slowly rape my team to death over 20 minutes has turned me into a raging test machine and part-time gym rat

>>2436442
>>2436462
pretty fun, it's an rts done by a russian apparently
some youtuber compared it to command and conquer, but i've never played a c&c game
so, i say it's a lot like starcraft
a much grittier, grimdark starcraft
demo only lets you play as one faction
choose one of 2 factions to fight against
>rebels (mad max shitters)
>mutants (zerg, basically)
>feels very much like ww2
>4 different types of infantry (i haven't explored this enough)
>mobile artillery
>mbt
>apc (includes some anti-air)
>mlrs (look up tos-1 buratino, fucking beautiful)
>armored car (only other unit with aa)
>repair vehicles
>heavy mobile repair/engineer vehicles (make trenches with them, area-of-effect heal&repair)
>dreadnaughts (think siege tanks from starcraft 1, but on steroids,... very fun to watch... also you can permanently modify it)
>build trenches, stick infantry in them for cover
>stick infantry in abandoned buildings for cover
>game starts with you choosing a big hand-picked team, and 3 waves of reinforcements which take longer to arrive
>game also starts you with a command center which, which branches you into other buildings
>really simple economy: mine le crystals, or 'materials'
>other three abstract resources: energy, supplies, 'parts'
>you can't replace 'parts' resource (which you spent) in the demo
>some buildings cost 'parts', so spend wisely
>dreadnaughts cost 'parts', so fight wisely
>there's only 1 unit you can't build more of, and unfortunately that's my favorite unit, the 'vortex'
>demo does not include the 'global map'
from what it seems, i'm guessing this game is going to be kind of like mount & blade, where there's a "map" mode (which is where the production of 'parts' should be possible), and also the battle mode which is what the demo solely focuses on
the game is described as having 'grand strategy elements', but uhhh so far i don't see any of that, there is no hint of mechanics like diplomacy, trade, whatever, but time will tell what more there will be

thank you for answering but don't reply to me ever again
sounds interesting, i'll pirate it when it comes out. we do need more rtses and russians do know how to make good rtses. i played a lot of blitzkrieg back in the day — also a very fun game if you like rtses and particularly artillery in rtses

oh and i also forgot there's like airstrikes and stuff that you can call down

these last 2 posts, or at least for sure the big one, are fraudulent guerrilla marketing posts for some russian command and conquer bootleg, report and ignore, just typical troll farm behaviour

I wrote smut for this AAR btw, but only because I married a woman to my son, who wanted to cheat on him with me, but then my son randomly died of disease and I decided to marry her. If you think about it, it just made sense to write some smut for it, because realistically a woman, who acted like that, would really be very horny and perverted.

i wrote smut for your mum but you don't see me bragging about it

just making conversation ...

Sure. What’s on your mind?

We can chat about something light—movies, games, travel, science, current events, random questions—or something more serious if that's what you're interested in.

For example:

What's something you've been curious about lately?
Have you watched or read anything good recently?
If you could instantly become an expert in one skill, what would you choose?

Or we can just talk without an agenda.

that is a pretty epic aar in actuality.. pretteh cool start choice
have you tried the WC(K)III, the third version of it

will softcore-posting be making a return ?

thinking about making a ck2 mod that adds a few more eastern slav cultures, delays melting pot to russian culture from starting until the 10th century (mid-late 11th century for peripheral slavs e.g. severians, vyatichs, volhynians and white croats) and makes melting pot preventable if not orthodox or liege is not orthodox or same religion and russian
but that sounds like a lot of work just for a few extra cultures so i can enjoy one campaign so i'll just post about it here and likely do nothing instead

that's alright you can do that but have you consider3d that ck3 already solved all of that :~]
