1. worldbox - god simulator

now THAT'S a country builder where you start from scratch

it's clearly a gsg where you play as one of many terror organizations in the middle east and unify the region

That could be fun. Imagine Stellaris's faction creator, but for terrorists mixed with HOI4's combat system, but on a smaller scale and with CK's character system for terrorist leaders and assassinating local government officials.

I know this is a scripted event but I think this situation makes for a pretty neat emergent narrative (i think this is what it is called) :
>make Denmark rival at game start and supporting the independance of Sweden
>they offer the disputed islands in the North Sea and a royal marriage in exchange for a truce
>this would also break my treaty with Sweden, and make keeping the Kalmar Union together much more feasible for Denmark due to Burgundian Inheritance coming up soon
I'm going to accept and remove them as a rival/try to ally them. Thank you for your attention to this matter

those autosaves vaporize so i can't rely solely on them if i rush through a few years and then want to rewind because something went very wrong against my plans

Ironman is good because it makes you deal with the consequences of your actions.
Something that the average /gsg/ autist is probably not used to.
>>
because my pc isn't that great, it runs the old ck3 just fine, you know, the ck3 that didn't have the bullshit east asia expansion that nobody cares about as opposed to the laggy dogshit that does have east asia
eu5 is unstable on medium settings, especially when i zoom to take command of wars
it's not frequent at all when there's no war for me, but when i zoom in on those models sometimes that windows 10 blue circle will appear saying it's lagging, so i instantly hit alt+f4 so it doesn't completely freeze my pc hard enough to warrant hitting the reset button
>>
bwo just download fast universalis
>>
>it makes you deal with the consequences of your actions.
heh, and what if the consequences are of paradox not fixing the bugs of their poorly unoptimized shit game, then what
>>
like i remember the bugs of ck3 and i'd be a fucking chump to put up with the nonsense of that in an ironman game that cannot fix itself
that's why it's called cuckman, if play ironman on a game that fucks you in the ass with its bugs
>>
Ironman is bad because it makes you deal with the consequences of Paradox releasing a shitty bug-ridden mess of a game.
If you can't resist the urge to savescum, ironman isn't going to fix that because it remains trivial to do so.
>>
^ ... EXACTLY
>>
as for fast universalis, i don't know what that is nor what i'd be trading for if i were to use it
>>
just saw a guy refer to sex as snu-snu god damn that's nostalgic
>>
gsg gamers when the game slightly gives a debuff:
>>
slight debuff like getting your army stackwiped in a 1 day battle and losing half your country if you play on
>>
another thing i want to point out is that unlike ck3, eu5 has a lot of buttons in it that don't give you a cancel/are you sure window after you click it, so if you misclick something by pure accident, you are fucked and cuckman mode does not give a shit

while you're right that it's a good thing eisenmensch makes you live with the consequences of your actions, but so do normal manual saves if you're not a little bitch, while at the same time immunizing you from retarded bugs everpresent in paradox games
and it's not like you can cheat in ironman. just back up your save and close the game via task manager if something doesn't go your way

i completely memoryholed 2022, how did it happen exactly?
also goes to show you just how unengaging a /gsg/ thread with the god forsaken feature is
>>
that was before grandi lost
>>
it was a lot of image-posting, even more posts crying about memegame3, some other posts going " i told you it would suck you retards, weren't you here for the v3 leak? stupid tourist [etc] " and such
it was overall a great 2 weeks/ week and a half of very wholesome chungus comedy
>>
oh and it was also going on in /vst/ too
remember, back in that year /gsg/ was in /vg/, not /vst/
>>
i genuinely don't even remember how long we've been on /vst/ lol

ummm since i was hospitalized back in september 28 to october 5th, 2024
>>
>that was before grandi lost
... i thought grandi got banned before the ck3 release though
i remember being called a newfag for not being here for the fabled grandi wars
i discovered /gsg/ a month after the ck3 release
>>
as long as infopic threads existed grandi was around since he was the only one pushing them, just like it's a single guy pushing the "memegame2" term
yes, i realize the irony since we're in an infopic thread right now, but this one is ironic, surely
>>
i dunno' about that, i've made a couple infopic threads myself and i'm not grandi

>captchas
>only need to solve 2
hmm, an improvement
>>
if you still haven't figured out how the new captcha works i'll give you a tip: it's an anti ban evasion mechanic
you start with 4 captchas and they're complex with those 5 symbol thingies, but the more you post they go down in number and complexity, i'm down to 1 captcha step now, BUT if you delete ur cookies it goes back up to 4 complex capthcas
that's also the reason why i waited out the ban i got yesterday since it was just 1 day and i didn't want to lose my easy captcha
>>
oh and the longer you go without resetting cookies the higher chance of not requiring verification
it's a surprisingly fair system for the gay and retarded shithole that's modern 4chan
>>
really?
i was always having to do 3 captchas
never 5, never 4
nothing has changed, i haven't gone a long time without being banned or anything like that

>never 5,
my bad, i saw '5' in your post and... just nevermind
>>
it's an interesting catch 22 because the more you post the higher chance you catch a ban for some random bullshit that doesn't break any rules but triggered a janny
kinda like a video game mechanic of risk vs. reward
>>
hmm
can't say much about that, 99.9% of my time on 4chan is spent on /gsg/ but actually only very recently it has spread to some other /vst/ threads, however fucking slow they are

me, i also only post in /gsg/
the rest of 4chan is just so fucking bad it's not even funny

yes that's right, he kept saying he was in russia and i was unconvinced and calling him a larper

non meme reason: vic3 leak thread was a rather fast thread so posts got buried rather quickly, this would naturally would warrant the need for replyfaging, i mean i'm sure you've all seen that one anon who has been advocating this inclination too "i only reply when i'm addressing a post that you can't no longer see on your screen". meanwhile nowadays /gsg/ is a trve chatroom revolving around a single topic at a time so there's really no need to use the function

Strange, unfortunately I can't remember what their choice was in the event and their previous ruler is dead so I can't verify. I could check the country history on pdx.tools when I'm done with this session though

they coontrol lithuania so they must have gone with the jagiellon

Maybe they got the cb naturally ? What's weird is that the cb was 'restoration of union' and not 'claim throne'

Oh and I just noticed the tooltip says Lithuania has been pued since 1445 so they definitely went jagiellion

so here's my muscovy, currently
doing better this run than in the last
i only went to war once, the one vladimir called me into
i captured all of "principality of tarusa", but the peacedeal did not let me keep the southernmost bit, which you see just south of muscovy
i also captured some of murom, which was vladimir's war target, but i was only allowed to keep a single 'location' of it, that yellow thing east of muscovy
before that, i peacefully vassalized both dmitrov and tver+zubtsov+kashin
currently integrating them both
note that the green chunk of land i currently envelope is an exclave of velikiy novgorod, which exists since start of game
i don't have many options right now... the tatar yoke still exists and the only casus belli i have is against velikiy novgorod
i am new to the understanding of things, but with that said, i have noticed that this new union i am in, the "muscovite-nizhny novgorodian union", is how i was summoned to help in that war against murom in the first place
with that in mind, i am led to believe that i can bring everyone in this union against velikiy novgorod in a war... through the same means
well, everyone except for the other union members' vassals, who are... numerous, including yuriev-polsky, suzdal, 'eastern' murom, uglich and galich-mersky
maybe their own allies can't join either
but i'm not worried, this 4-country union is plenty strong to take on v-nov, so long as my ally smolensk helps ward off karachev in the south
my allies are smolensk (who has a vassal just west of muscovy, vyazma) and yaroslav (who is currently in an allied defensive war with v-nov, pskov being the ally he is backing... pskov used to be a vassal of v-nov and is located close to the baltic sea)
v-nov's allies: karachev, vyatka
everyone has military access to v-nov
game says i'm currently "slightly weaker" than v-nov
i think we can spell out its doom right now
every name i mentioned is visible in one of these two screenshots

Is there a genocide mod for gfm? Or should I play crimeamod

there used to be but the dev started injecting malicious code that might mess with your pc when you play with a genocide submod
i think they worked around that, but do you really want to take that gamble?

a strange thing i've noticed with this game
using the road-builder to make a route through multiple 'locations', the game leads me to choose something inefficient
i've done all the math, and the route that builds the road through obolensk is cheaper than the route that leads through serpukhov
but when i actually lay the entire route from borovsk to volkona, the game chooses the serpukhov route
this makes the road builder unreliable, wouldn't you say?
inconvenient
i have to math everything!

You can set the road builder to prioritise between speed, proximity reduction, or cost it's the little buttons on top of the list of roads. You have it set to proximity reduction atm I think

Just to clarify I'm referring to the 4 icons beneath "Gravel Road, Paved Road, etc."

so, jaroslav lost some land to velikiy novgorod
two of my would-be colleagues are at war
this thing with smolensk,
and the fiefdom of vladimir known as (eastern) murom having a go at... some country... named 'jochi'? it includes the golden horde
confusing, because one of the other opponents they're at war with isn't even within my exploration-knowledge, so it's beyond the fog of war
and they don't even have the military access to any of their enemies, unless they somehow buy it from the kath horde who... hate them!
should i even raise my levies? smolensk is slightly weaker than me, and the game says chernihiv is "no match" for me, so smolensk really doesn't need me
that little child doesn't even own a fort
>>
do keep in mind the road builder bugs out sometimes and builds roads between 2 neighbouring provinces through a third which makes no sense in any way whatsoever
>>
on another note bro you need to use every parliament to get cbs and vassilize your neighbours, you spent 30 years doing basically nothing when all your neighbours are weak as shit

>you spent 30 years doing basically nothing when all your neighbours are weak as shit
you're right
on my first muscovy run, i went to war asap and then suffered severe economic collapse for it because i didn't know that i had to make subjects out of the land i took
and then on this run, i decided to just wait and spend money building things up
i suppose that the optimal way to play is... to go to war through the parliament/duma cb while also building building my roads and buildings up and juggling integration, eh?
also note: a stroke of bad luck, my first ruler's adult heir died a few years into the game, leaving me with an infant and a thot-regent as soon a year later when my first ruler died

If you have to ask the question you don't need the answer.
Don't look up the reviews of the last DLC.

>>2473108
I had fun when I last played it in May. I've only bought the DLC's I felt like I'd enjoy and I think the economy building and stuff is solid.
The expanding/military is still kind of wack though.
