If you see a gibberish post, it was made by raiders, ignore it.No, Vic 3 is not good yet. In fact it never will be. Neither will EU5.How fares your empire, /gsg/?On this day in history, the 20th of October:1448 – The second battle of Kosovo ends when the larger army of the Ottoman Empire defeats those of the Kingdom of Hungary after the Wallachian troops desert1740 – France, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony refuse to honour the Pragmatic Sanction, and the War of the Austrian Succession begins1803 – The United States Senate ratifies the Louisiana Purchase1827 – Greek War of Independence: In the Battle of Navarino, a combined Turkish and Egyptian fleet is defeated by British, French and Russian naval forces in the last significant battle fought with wooden sailing ships1935 – The Long March, a mammoth retreat undertaken by the armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party a year prior, ends1944 – World War II: The Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav Partisans liberate Belgrade1947 – Cold War: The House Un-American Activities Committee begins its investigation into Communist infiltration of the Hollywood film industry1962 – China launches simultaneous offensives in Ladakh and across the McMahon Line, igniting the Sino-Indian War2011 – Libyan Crisis: Rebel forces capture Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi and his son Mutassim in his hometown of Sirte and kill them shortly thereafter, ending the first Libyan civil warRandom Country Pickerhttp://orph.link/random>Archive (mods only)https://mega.nz/#F!plMxFYTB!sn9MTrvJ0tYjWSHgM8CZow>Where to get these gameshttps://web.archive.org/web/20190720131512/http://hastebin.com/raw/moqugasume>Mods>> READ THIS FIRST.https://web.archive.org/web/20200712212437/https://pastebin.com/33A7wXdB>>[V2] - Niggermodhttps://pastebin.com/Xgjd5LvG>>[V2] - Crimeamodhttps://www.moddb.com/mods/crimeamodPrevious thread: >>2496382
Does anybody else find Vic 2 to be a comfy game? I always play it when I'm depressed
>On this day in histo- shan't be using this shit thread
why not? it's tradition to include this day in history
yeah liq 2 is great because you can play a game in 1 or 2 sittings instead of games like ck2 or eu4 where you have to devote quite a bit of time to a full playthroughalso it's more responsive in its button presses and army commands than eu4 and later games i find. whenever i play eu4 there's a noticeable split second delay between me clicking with a selected army and the windows don't pop up instantly like in liq2
yeah but you won't
wat
ah yes, the ephemeral experience of cruising through a memegame2 campaign where you do quite literally nothing but watch numbers slowly crawl toward a certain desired point while adjusting levers in between and selecting the same option from a binary choice of events as if you're a laboratory ape sitting on a stool all noon, waiting for its next treat.meanwhile, to actually do anything at all in this game requires consulting the appropriate window that's so wonderful it takes the entire screen of the game, closing it, and do the same thing all over again if you want to retrieve a related information from somewhere else because who needs a tooltip when you can just go back and forth 4 separate game windows and the official wiki and paradox plaza to get the exact inquiry that will decide your simplest of economic decision. got an event while you're on one of the game windows? want to tell if your lego deathstack has a general or not? want to sort the generals based on its respective capabilities? want to ferry your army with one simple click? well there's an old saying of "play memegame2 get memed on" for a reason
why does this guy hate liqqy so much he has to lie about it?
vgh
thank you op for filtering some of the worst retards this thread has to offerexcept that i know he'll keep posting in this thread as usual regardless, because he has literally nothing else
look at this shit, 3 of my trade nodes are the highest value in the world, ahead of sevilla and la manche
No, Vic 3 is not good yet. In fact it never will be. Neither will EU5, nor CK3
it has been good for years now
avocado toast eating hipster above
i remember getting really pissed back in like 2018 when holy fury released and you could do shit like in 2507098 effortlessly in 30 ingame years
yeah, but before they introduced these game rules, you were just able to do that with no option to turn it off
ugh

poor little karakalpaks, they were born to roam the steppes yet the villainous poles are forcing them into sweatshops
I will never forgive evil grandi scum for not adding them as a culture having said that, they are a culture in eu5, so by extension I must bow down to johan. took them like 20 years but they managed to introduce a culture system that isn't shit and can handle small cultures well
>russia but slightly more to the westwhy not conquer persia too while you're at it, it has sweet sweet trade you know
How much of that land is legally Poland and how much Lithuania
that's like saying prussia is poland but slightly more west
no its like saying ottomans is greece but slightly more east
no, because poles were not the backbone of prussian bureaucracy that'd be more like claiming poland-lithuania was actually lithuania because the king was lithuanian
prussia is white poland isn'tottomans are white greece isn't
if poland isn't white then how come silesia was the most industrialized part of prussia, huh???how come catholic poles mogged the protestant german work ethic?
>>2507288>prussia is whiteYes.>poland isn'tNo.>ottomans are whiteNo.>greece isn’tNo.25% on your test, earning an “F”. Please see me after class.
looks like we got ourselves a poleo-greek in here
grecopolis
>in what delusional world are you living in where you would ever think of assigning any kind of work to a niggerthe reason they're on every continent now is exactly because they were being imported for manual labour retard
why didn't they import poles instead?
yeah and they found out they don't work if they aren't being whipped 24/7 and even when they're constantly being monitored they do shit work
because they couldn't get away with not paying them there was a time where landowners could get away with it and they absolutely did import poles for this very reason this is why slav is so close to slave, they used to mean the same thing
>and they found outthey found this out but kept importing them for like 200+ years? were they retarded?
>>2507344>this is why slav is so close to slave, they used to mean the same thing“Slave” comes from Slav due to the volume of the Muslim slave trade.
>why would you care about kids with worms in anricawhy wouldn't i?>your money will just buy guns for warlordssource? seems like an excuse for inaction to me
the more control you have on outcomes the better the option, you have control on your own body and nobody to blame, helping others relies on others wanting to get betteryour call
>>2507277this much
also lmfao at the idea that 30k would only buy 10 doses of deworming treatmentit's validating (an emotion you will never experience) to know that your retarded delusions extend into ever corner of your existence.

>the more control you have on outcomes the better the optiongetting "good" FFS involves a lot of luck, making educated guesses on who is a good surgeon and it's ultimately at the discretion of the person with the scalpel and blind luck deworming is something a nurse can do and it doesn't take a lot to make everyone involved do what's needed, the kid obviously wants to get better
>knowing one's money is going directly into wardlords' pockets sounds like a good enough reason for inaction.I asked for a source, you don't actually KNOW that, you're just assuming (mounting a convenient excuse)>also lmfao at the idea that 30k would only buy 10 doses of deworming treatmentI didn't specify a currency retard
stupid retard can't help himself but bite bait
i come back in here and look after two hours and holy shit how the fuck did you guys get trolled by that tranny post hahhahahahahaaaa woooowwww you are embarrassing
it's just juan guy
why the FUCK are hungarians and romanians in the same culture group?what was johan smoking?
also how come greeks and turks arent in the same culture group??
same reason turks and turkmens aren't in the same culture group
hungarians and romanians are like poles and muscovites
hmmm, today i will outline why obvious bait is obvious bait and engage with the bait in the process. what could go wrong?t. clueless
>same reason turks and turkmens aren't in the same culture groupIn eu5 they are because they finally expanded on the whole retarded "culture group" system by giving cultures several traits
but poles and muscovites are in separate culture groups and might as well be as different as chuckchi and bantu
>but poles and muscovites are in separate culture groups and might as well be as different as chuckchi and bantuin memegame2in eu5 they're both slavic but share no other trait, making them more akin than poles and ashanti but not by much

>but poles and muscovites are in separate culture groupswrong, they are both considered slavs
i want to spend my yurobucks in hungary and eat three meals of red pepper a day
wrong, poles are west slavs and moscovites are east slavsrussians can unite all slavs into 1 culture group via a mission, but they're seprate in 1444

I wanted to make gsg with a demand/supply system for good.In concept, it would have been easy, but in practice it is a nightmare. Like determining the buyer is just torture. Like you could either have a model where limited supply is split among buyers, or a model where the richest province takes priority.
is this johan posting after he spent all his patreon bux
make the the buyer weighted randomjust because the country/province is a shithole doesn't mean it can't spawn a shrewd businessman that will secure the supply of a good he needs for his sweatshop
won't work, too many complicationsI've considered the caravan model, but it might be retarded.The concept is that big cities will spawn a caravan agents.>caravan agents begin with their gold>move blindly from province to province, buying surplus of good>and selling when it's in demandThe problem is that it would be arbitrary, and I'm not sure how many agents I would need for a stable system
all work and no play makes thomas a dull boygo play caravaneer and report back once that inspires you
your first two models are trash because supply would be available to any buyers in your country regardless of distance or time hence you're having a problem with itthe caravan/tradeship is the right way to go about. in my gsg, richer pops will identify the trade opportunities and conduct their own expedition, supply will have to travel in order for it to be acquired and redistributed, and as an added bonus it'll make dynamic prices simulated and not a guesswork multiplier gymnastic

me, i'm gonna stay friends with trabzonthey're cute
idea for eu4 run : was thining about that anon that says scotland always becomes pseudo gb/takes the place of england in every game he's seen. you play as scotland, no expanding in GB beyond taking northern marches/historical lands. help ireland form and stay independant and wales as well and keep alliances with both of them. also don't kill england to have a rival to fight and to have them watch from the cuck chair as you and your little entente colonizes the world/develops into new hyperborea. (also if wales or ireland take colonizing ideas you could vassalize them later but DONT annex them)
but scotland formed gb irl
they were assimilated into english tho
how come the scottish version of anglo saxon became modern english like despite not being ruled by normans
ok fine i dont know enough about angloid history and terms to countersay you. do the same as england then but dont blob in scotland; ireland is ok as the pu tho
ok but counterpoiint: what is there to do in eu4 but blob?
what if you compromise and you conquer ulster too and you make vassals all over ingerland
you larp as try to maintain balance of power in europe with condotierri, indirect influence with diplo/warnings/adding removing rivals/etc..15i like idea of taking ulster to show dominance. i would keep one vassal for ireland thoughbeit
Scotland but instead of colonialism across the seas, you do colonialism to revive Celtic supremacy over Europe
vassals are fun, but by allah do i hate the eu4 relations limitin this recent groBpoland run i did i was constantly being cucked by relations limit. lithuania pu, hungary pu, moldavian march and pope ally that's 4 slots taken and with strong duchies i was left with only 2 slots for allies or subjects to be integrated.compare that to eu3 or vicky where you can have permanent vassals where you're constrained only by liberty desire, not by some arbitrary limit that robs you of vital mana
post your blob already
make me kike

huh they would even join on a promise of territoryi wonder if i could do this war myself or do i need the mamelukes...41it's paradox's best game, but paying for it even one oyro is too much
so much moraleimagine being behind me in morale as a shiite cunt with full mysticism
epic battle, but:>qoyunlu has pretender rebels in the south, presumably a big stack, as pretenders often are>qoyunlu is fighting the mamelukes in the south>meanwhile they fucking focus their whole army on me like a fucking schlieffen planfucking johan making the ai focus on the player
uhhh so who gets to be the attacker here in the mountains? none of us control the fort
>you larp as try to maintain balance of power in europe with condotierri, indirect influence with diplo/warnings/adding removing rivals/etc..this fucken sux doe why does everybody pretend this isn't agonizingly dull and boring

>>2507098Well I thinks the car swerved about half a second too early https://youtu.be/lVehcuJXe6I?si=r07fSVAPpH9-LCrt
if you look at the screenshot you can tell that theres no warning for disloyal subjects, they are loyal at around 40 liberty desireon another note chuddie why did you give land to samtske you need to annex them to avoid the disaster and it could be an instant annex now you gotta wait
this is whyalso what does "chuddie" mean?
>ironman: off
but wouldnt it be easier to make an armenian vassal and just annex samtske now so you dont need to worry about the disasternow you need to wait for them to full core it
it's synchronized, they core in august and i annex in octoberif i release armenia i'd be forced to wait another 10 years
and the disaster is a long ways away
wouldnt trust the ai not to mess it up by waiting to state it but i can respect

Hey /gsg/, (A)I completely rebuilt the Vicky 2 save analyzer in C# and packed it into a single 525kb .exe . It loads 10x faster (loads in 0.25s on my machine) than the old one, and should not crash(TM) on your epic saves with 10,000+ battles!No virus too, trust me bro. Random .exe files from 4chan are very trustworthy in the year 2026.>What do?Four tabs and a battle report cover every war in your loaded save.>Wars: each war as the game's own diplomacy entry, with both sides' flags, war goal icons, battles won and a casualty bar. Search by war, country, battle or commander; filter active, ended or your own wars; sort by date, casualties, battles or length. Selecting a war shows who joined and left and when, its war goals in the game's wording, a side by side comparison, losses per battle, casualties per country and a timeline.>Battle report: double-click a battle for a copy of the game's end-of-battle window, with both commanders and their portraits, who attacked, the units on each side, the losses and the share of each army lost.>Battles: every battle in the save, bloodiest or largest first.>Countries: each country's wars, battles won and lost, soldiers lost and killed, kill ratio, ships lost and sunk, and largest army.>Commanders: every general and admiral who fought, with victories, win rate, casualties inflicted, largest force led and, while they are still alive, their portrait.Also it>follows your game with Live: each time the game writes the save (autosaves included), the analyzer reloads and keeps your place>exports any list to a CSV file for Excel or Google Sheets>reads mods the way the game does, working out which mods a save used from its save folder>shows country names, war goals and units in English, French, German or Spanish.I will require three images of epic Grossgermanias with an attached (You) to share this legendary file. I know you understand.
>>2508240It keeps track of totals too, so by 1936 you should have a proper edgelord number. Russia here got an early war with China and bullied them a bit.All you need to run it is Microsoft .NET 8. Which you should already have. If not, go download it from Microsoft's website.A few issues I need to mention come from what Victoria II itself writes into a save (not my fault don't @ me):Battle dates>the game forgets a battle's date whenever a save is loaded, so only battles fought since your last load show one. The others are listed in the order they were fought.Losses>saves record total losses per side, not per unit type. A side can lose more than it started with, because reinforcements that join mid-battle are counted only in the losses.War score>it is not stored for finished wars, so the bar in the war list shows each side's share of all casualties instead.History wars>wars set before the game starts, such as the American War of Independence, show their war goals but have no battles. (If anyone were actually to complain about this you should sudo apt-install meds IRL)>you aren't a hacker on steroids, are you?The program only reads. Your saves and game files are never changed. It never connects to the internet. It keeps its settings (game folder, recent saves, mod choices) and a short log in WarAnalyzer.settings.json and WarAnalyzer.log next to the .exe, or in %APPDATA%\\V2WarAnalyzer when that folder is read-only.It's a single small file anyway, run it through an anti-virus and AI to check if you want.I await those Grossgermanias to be sent to me.

we won... but at huwhat cost
epic cossack agendum btw
ok eu4pros which one?me, i'm kinda thinking top option will help me tackle the ottermans once they inevitably attack
+10% emotional damage
it would be funny to take the "spare the city" option for reducing ae impact then pillaging sarai via the peace deal
Last one
actually No. First one.. then devclick 2-3 time to remove devastation
i'm not taking sarai in this war doei'm thinking of releasing astraKHAN as a vassal then doing a reconquest war laterand yeah i just checked doing the 2nd option is kinda useless since right now pillaging sarai via the peace deal would gain me 1/1/1 dev in tibilisi and if i take the 2nd option i won't be able to take any dev in the peace deal
these guys know nothingthe middle one is objectively best, 5 dev + cashyou can get 5 professionalism from 5 generals if you really need but you shouldnt because you can get generals from the privilege decisionand you shouldnt stack professionalism because you want to play with mercs anywaysimilarly the ae reduction is a meme, 10% for 15y, who are you gonna use it for, the steppes are worthless and southland isnt properly blobbablethanks for reading my blog
I would take Middleeu4pros would probably take bottomI'm an eu5 brony myself
I'm trans BTW dunno if that matters
italian wars...
Honestly it's quite an amazing coincidence that, in English, Georgia shares its name with its patron saint, despite the etymology being completely unrelated.
i took the top option btw. i just need to beat the ottomans. and like i said it was either 2/2/1 dev from the event or 1/1/1 dev from the pillage, so no point in taking the dev from the event reallyand how the FUCK do i get to genoa to win this war?
facesitting
youre telling me you took the option to take less ae then also took less land and made the whole thing redundantyou dont need to get to jehova, just sit on the wargoal and wait untill they give you what you want
poland is lost65i took the option that gives me +10% emotional damage so i can btfo the turks with facts and logic (that's what i'm gonna name my first cannon), RETARD
Großdeutschland
look faggot, i pillaged genoa and now i've gained exactly 2/2/1 dev from pillaging both sarai and genoaliterally the same amount i would get from the event, except i get army professionalism and morale damage i desperately need. my economy is fine, what i need is strength
there it is, game finally thinks i'm a match for the ottermans

Why can't eu5 be good yet bros... I've done enough eu4 campaigns to last a lifetime and after experiencing a modern gsg like imperator or vic3 eu4 just feels so much like a board game. Basically no difference than Risk. It's been like a year since release and eu5 is still in the "good foundation but gameplay is shit and completely changes after each update which somehow still doesn't fix the game" phase I just wanna play my grobsbyzantium campaign and have fun
this but league of legends

wow anon that is an awesome grobe germanische reich how did you do it so quickly??
Kind of silly how Ukraine uses Russian imperial alphabet but Russia doesn't
fastest i could do it was like 1850
it's vanilla so it was kind of cheesyearly war with austria by decing on its protectorate, after wiping out their armies, (was allied to uk) attacked france, then denmark while keeping the austria war goingminor sphere wars, building in minors and war justifications in between, beat france and denmark, then austria dropped out of gp, waited for jingoism to sphere austria

america is using imperial units but they are no empirecurious
why would you play as silesia
>they are no empirewho are you trying to fool
Why indeed... Only 3k dead Opoles btw
>>2509006>america is using imperial unitsAmerica uses the American Customary Systems (ACS) not Imperial units. Imperial units are based on the slug as the unit of mass and a pound of force is derived from that, while the ACS is based on the pound-force (lbf), from which the pound-mass (lbm) is derived. This then necessitates the use of the gravitational constant g_c which is a pain to work with.>but they are no empire>curious[Country] wants war with us.

thanks for the answer, looking forward to the next 15 in-game years

poland is overpowered doe
Poland might be but Opoland sure isn't. We got stackwiped despite tech 6 advantage due to my own incompetence and Brandenburgs god-tier general (6/5/3/2 btw). Currently sieging down Berlin while hoping Sweden stays in the war long enough for me to peace out some of these German minors without Denmark and Norway coming to fuck me
look at Silesia not Marching the Teutons and form poland in the end or let them run free
Was planning on no-cbing them before their truce with fake-Poland runs out

can someone play Brandenburg and only rush Silesia and Krakow, please?im too busy gooning

ill do it if you give me a reason but i wont rush rush it ill do a regular brandenburg game i abandon in 1480 after taking siles
Krakau, Yes. seeing how strong with just Silesia an Krakau.I don´t want to because of min maxing and pp strengthwar all the small one now. then after 5 more years, you can do whatever
Have to go but here is war balance atm. Strongly considering peacing out Denmark by giving them Sweden's land.
wdym "how strong with just Silesia an Krakau"?if you dev each province to 45 dev with 3 expansions of infrastructure you'll be more powerful than france
just some good operations into Poland
now what
i can´t see anything
now own anything in Silesia, or Krakow
silesia and magdeburger are my vassals doe
now you wait til Silesia-pole will form poland and then we attack

memegame2 niggas be like:>why yes, i released the Duchy of Snerbia from Saxony in 1836, instantly went into -£60k national debt on day 1 to max my budget spendings, and used a military transit exploit to march my entire 3,000 man army to invade Madagascar before France even finished researching Positivism.>i then spent 16 in game years manipulating the global dye market by building a single Luxury Clothes factory in Bautzen staffed entirely by 58,000 radicalized Malagasy farmers who fled the Merina monarchy. every 30 days, i toggled the stockpile tariff between -100% and +100% during a Prussian cabinet crisis to force their militancy to wrap around into negative integers, turning them into ultra-loyal Slavic-Pagan Snerbian nationalists who only sew haute couture waistcoats.>i then intentionally allowed a 2.1 million man Pan-Slavic rebel doomstack to occupy Lusatia for 14 straight years. why? because holding your starting capital under rebel siege while technically at war with Zanzibar triggers a hidden engine exploit that lets you enact Pensions and Minimum Wage in 1851 without ever passing Secret Ballots>did this completely liquidate my agricultural base and turn the Upper Spree basin into an ungodly hyperpolluted industrial dystopia where the primary export is Madagascar-dyed Snerbian silk coats? yes. did my Wiendiszt craftsmen board a chartered fishing boat, drift across the Indian Ocean, and establish a sovereign Republic of Socotra? also yes.>but now my daily income is +£210,000 and i singlehandedly produce 99% of the world's dye and luxury garment supply>after a bit of minor micro, i formed Großsnerbiums in 1854 using a totally historical modded decision that requires:>500.0 prestige>ownership of cootbus, leipzig, and a single kiosk in Lübbenau>at least 40,000 politically conscious snerb craftsmen>vgh, i'm so ready to post my pop migration heatmaps on /v2g/ so the meta tryhards can weep over my perfect 0.00% unemployment rate in the Indian Ocean.

>>2510040>are you me? i feel like i like ideaguying the concepts more than actualizing itApparently so. Everything I do gets bloated; I can't make anything simple. And then I give up because it has become so overcomplicated it possibly can't be fun.>arrison use the floating point numbersTechnically all values in PDX games are floating numbers, they just typically rounded before displayed, which I forgot to do there.There was a time I tried to work with integers because it made more logical sense, but in reality, without floats, it means things won't change in certain situations.>do those countryside buildings exist abstractly or do they belong to your vassals since you're modeling your placeholder system after warband? Conceptually, those are villages. Each town has 10 villages that provide supplies and emigrants to the town.Each village has its own population, fort level, settlement level, etc.Raids can destroy villages, so in theory the army doesn't even have to besiege a town to capture it; they can gradually destroy its villages and watch the town's garrison shrink as supplies run out.My only issue is its realism. So, a village's max population is 1,000, and I want there to be max 10 villages, no 100. So, it is unrealistic that 10,000 peasants would be able to feed an urban population of the same size.

Continued after a brief intermission. The war has progressed to our advantage although it has been a massive slog. Waiting for a few sieges to finish to finally end this. Gelre got the Burgundian Inheritance and Frankreich is having internal struggles btw
Alright this is getting ridiculous. Denmark broke through Holstein with Brandenburg's general and Thuringia's army just got wiped. They're at medium war enthusiasm and 14k Norwegians just arrived in eastern Pomerania so I'm making a small concession to end this war immediately
Farewell Moraviums :(
Was it worth it? Absolutely not. We did it thoughbeit. Also noticed there is a localisation for province names for the western slavs that's pretty neat
did you accept germans?
get this eu4 trash off my face
Not yet, I think I'll most likely accept the Pomeranians and culture convert the rest to West Slavic or Polish
nuh yeh
absolut useless silesian campaign

whats wrong with trucebreaking anyway it happened all the time in the real world
because people kept doing it in paradox employee mp sessions and johan got upset
just take königsberg, vasall the order. give poland to the order and form prussia you cuck
trucebreaking is retarded because irl you could just take whatever you wanted in one war as long as you get the resources to physically grab itin paradox games you're limited to a certain amount of land/money/whatever by arbitrary limits which work in conjunction with truce timers to limit your blobbing

Wtf I love germanics now. Green Preuben about to pop off
to paraphrase that one oglaf comic strip, you used to be a country with your own goals, hopes and dreams. now you're just the emperor of the hre
I'm sorry anon I had to... the bonuses were calling to me like the Green Goblin mask and I plan to stay Catholic anyways so I figured I might as well. Also have any of you experienced strange behaviour with the 'Teutons join the Empire' incident? It fired as soon as I became emperor and I closed the HRE tab before voting as I wanted to see which way the Princes were leaning. When I opened the tab the incident vote buttons were gone and on save and reload it's as if the incident never fired.
Couldn't sleep, fuck this game genuinely. 15 year regency after the Emperor died (he was like 27 btw). This means we are absolutely cucked for wars beyond indirect influence and have to sit on our asses for the next 14 years. Very cool.
get boy preggers
bonuci
vgh... the Aryans have come home...
Alright I did some thinking about this whole regency situation. I originally had planned to play out this war as a good emperor and release a bunch of Princes; I didn't want to blob into the Channel. With that being said given that this is the only bit of expansion we'll be doing for the forseeable future I guess we may as well take enough land to make a vassal for the income/trade power. There will be a small coalition but I think with a year or two of improving relations it should be more than manageable. Additionally I can take advantage of the fact that there won't be an Election in the HRE for a while to break my alliances with the electors/start vassal-maxxing to expand peacefully. Will update if anything happens (it won't)
This whole time Austria has been deathwarring Venice btw.
>peace deal
Have been monitoring the situation in and around Europe and we might be able to annex Stettin by allying Wolgast/intervening in this war. I've set the provinces as vital interest, let's see how this goes
why would you punish cute little geldern blobbing picardy isnt even in the hre, your ejust feeding it to france
because he wants that la manche trade moneybeing the emperor gives you a lot of manpower and force limit but very little money, so you pretty much need either trade or gold to be a good emperor

they tried to institute the caste system but it was already too lateimagine if they stayed as separate from the natives as the ptolemies from aegyptians
the gothic ruma (thats rome for u non-goths) campaign resumes.so, 10 years of conquest later and the gothic kingdom is starting to take shape.eventually the plan for this campaign is to split from the eastern roman empire but im not in a hurry with it.depending on how the campaign goes, maybe ill conquer all the lands required for the restoration of the roman empire and let the ai basileus do it
rumatism
the ptolemies stayed seperate by inbreeding and the local hellenes assimilated by the time of the arab conquestthe only reason you had greeks there centuries later is because they moved there during ottoman time
it's the beginning of the ottoman era for me as well*falls asleep on the couch*
what's the point of playing a meme culture if you're just going to sit feal to the greeks anyway
>rakish>flagellant>withering mind>infirm>brutally mauledbro has gone completely insane. mein basileus... mein kaiser... 82 years old btw, you almost never see that in ck2, so thats cool to see in ck3, as long as its not too common for characters to get this old
the great gothic king died. now he feasts in valhalla...three sons inherit his realm. one in sardinia, one in sicily, and aloito is the new king of ruma.pretty cool how this gimps my power level and now theres two ai gothic kings who are vassals to the basileus who will go and do their own thing.what exciting and grand turns of events await us? will the three gothic brothers remain loyal vassals of the basileus? will they band together against the basileus? or will they fight each other over petty claims?choices, choices, choices.that will be all for today my laddingtons. if you dont want to miss out on this truly epic campaign then make sure you tune in for the next episode
>what's the point of playing a meme culture if you're just going to sit feal to the greeks anywaythe point is to become independent later and found a gothic western roman empire and convert to greco-roman religion resulting in goths larping as romans

Well, it took all night, but I managed to make a map that's clickable.
the rivers look like the patterns on a leaf
That's what rivers are.Most maps just exclude 98% of tributaries.In reality, unless you live in the Middle East, the closest river to you is probably less than 15 km away.

So, in PDX games, all pieces are one-sided. The winner demands things, while loser gets nothing. But historically, most wars involved some compromises; e.g., a country that lost territory often received monetary compensation. Is it really that difficult to balance a mutual peace treaty?>muh player would exploit AI
>a country that lost territory often received monetary compensationname 3 peace deals where that happened
Are we making the /gsg/ wow forever guild on RP or RP-PVP?
i will never forgive blizzard for flanderizing warcraft with world of warcraft
wow is for faggotsi guess you fit right in
During barons wars, the Baron invited Prince Louis to take England's throne, so he invaded.But he was defeated in the Battle of Lincoln, and then privateers sank his reinforcement fleet, trapping him in England with a depleted army.So, William Marshal bribed him to abandon his claim on France.In the Treaty of Brétigny, despite England technically winning and getting sovereign Aquitaine and ransom for the king, Edward renounced his claim on France.
First one is just getting little bit of warscore from battles to lower the enemy's war enthusiasm and then conceding defeat giving war indemnities to get out of a stalemated war quicker.2nd one is an unrelated ransom under the rules of chevalry and only then is a making a quid pro quo cleaning up the borders for renouncing a title.So u have 2 examples one of which is shaky. Surely if it's so common u'llbe able to come up with the 3rd
>/gsg/ wow forever guild on RP or RP-PVP?why rp
you need a be at least a little bit of a roleplayer to enjoy grandi strategy gamesthey're simply not fun when you approach them with the cold calculated mindset of a powergamer like arumba
Ah people still remember Arumba.If I recall correctly.>he was a car salesman>began as CK2 let's player>married latino pussy>transitioned into EU4>quit his job>reached 200K subs relatively fast>collaborated with Quil and Northern Lion>was endorsed by Johan>got tired of PDX games and tried transition to Factorio>but nobody watched his videos>relutacntly was forced to come back EU4 full time>began making constant passive-aggressive rants>suffering from depression when his views dropped>his wife cheated on him because he spent all his time recording>frustrated, he neglected or hit his kid at some point>his wife divorced him>other streamer and PDX cut contact with him>spend few months on suicide watch>came back and abandoned his 200K channel and moved to Twitch

you don't remember correctlyhe was an insurance salesman and he fell out with johan over some absolute nothingburger of an innocent complaint about mechanicshis gold digger green card seeker colombiano wife left him because not only did he lose his good looks he stopped bringing home the fat paycheck after falling out with johan and stopping playing eu4then he came back to eu4 and started daydrinking to make it bearable
why is your friend using drug dealer tactics on you?????
>>2511971that's somehow more depressing than I remembered

look, i agree with you. trading land and other things in and out of wars would be a nice addition to paradox games, BUT you struggle to provide examples for something you said happened "often"
just take look at thesehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_treatiesThose are full of mutual exchange.e.g. >Peace of Pressburg (1271): Hungary renounced its claims on western Austrian provinces and Ottokar renounced the support of Stephen's internal opposition and promised the extradition of them.

I loved ck2's trait artck3's is abysmal

i still remember when arumba got blacklisted by pdx for some utterly trivial tritepoor guy lived and died by shitty gay tranny games though i guess that's our fate too
it genuinely is, just generally ugly and the designs are so busy it actually takes like half a second to even comprehend what you're looking atsome of them are obvious (e.g. wroth, brave), but a lot are really vague.i remember that image form when the trait icons were first revealed - i recall someone replying with the shy trait listed as "frequents gloryholes". made me laugh; probably the most entertainment ck3 has given me to date. but seriously, how the fuck does that icon represent shyness?
Hello gamers.By popular demand I am bringing this series out of hiatus slightly before it's done hybernating. You may see where we left off in the image. Time flies. How this will work is that, today, I will give you an update on the strategy I've come up with, and each day, we will advance by exactly one day so that we may update our strategy and hopefully, via teamwork and consensus, we will have a fool-proof plan by the time we're done.This war is a shitshow. I don't think I could have expected the HRE emperor to be able to call on so many HRE vassals. It's difficult to show the full extent of the war, it's basically a coalition war at this point. But, there is hope.the plan is to regroup the northernmost occupying force in such a way that Bohemians and their 11k allies give chase, then regroup at the Gdańsk fort, wasting their time. With any luck they will try to unsiege what is being sieged right now.Meanwhile, the southern force is to finish their respective occupations and move south, marching around Slovakia and into Hungary, hopefully the Hungarian troops will have the common sense to do something useful and march onto Austrian borders. Yes, Austria is in this war, they are almost as strong as us in numbers BUT their only fortifications are the city walls around Vienna. The plan is to occupy most of Austria, maybe Vienna itself, maybe not, but most of their towns, and force them and subsequently Tyron to capitulate, bringing the war to something resembling a managable state.The problem with this plan? Allies are not allowed to abandon wars until 12 months have passed, meaning until 1 February 1379 we just need to score as many occupations and avoid as many battles as possible. Can this last? Plan A is to widdle the coalition down until the balance of power isn't so bleak and Bohemia is willing to white peace out. Plan B is to secure okay-ish surrender conditions. Brandenburg is unfortunately well protected. https://pimpandhost.com/album/234731640

Whole personality trait system is bad.It's like... if you trait is Brave-Calm-Justwhat does that even mean?And why does impact stats but not lifestyle?Not the system I'd design. I feel all these traits are just symptoms of behavior.Like in the real world, the reason why a person might display diligence qualities is based on their worldview.So, universally, I think instead of having a dozen personality trait with hundred combinations, I think it would make more sense to have a handful of archetype personalities.
you can just wipe that moravain regiment if you try hard enough lol idk what thissue here is supposed tobbeAa from the e rest i wood say go to the South fuck up austria but don't separatora Peace but rather get as many coppuations gong ans when that needs you just fucking youtube.com/watch?v=wCocYGGuMgo do this to them just use it *(austria) as a please bargening tactic and dump that shit i k OE o it's not with Ti man not worth it AND also id like to mention ck2 traits you could have a milion I'm Gallagher they glad they rlimited then to three
is there like a way to filter stuttering retards or something
only little bitches use 3rd party filters doereal gsgeers just ignore
v=wCocYFGuMgo this is what you should do to austria this is the linn
>what does that even mean?it means your character is brave, calm, and just. for an ai character it means it will behave more bravely, more calmly, and more justly. as opposed to cowardly, angrily, and unjustly.it impacts stats and stats impact your lifestyle. if you pick a martial lifestyle for example and your martial skill is high you get more points. if you pick a learning lifestyle and you have low learning skill you dont get many points. ai characters will pick lifestyles according to their stats.
stuttering is part of gsg culture at this point
that rpg skill tree really was braindeadit doesn't belong and you always do the same shit because 95% of the skills are shit like +1 tranny opinion and the remaining 5% +5 demesne limit

Yeah rears the thing is witubthay now they have 3 perosnalitie traits they can actually just , fucking donthay the traits are supposse dot be doing meing before every character was basically the say eme but now they trains actually matter and make the acharacters behave differently because due to them being only 3 they don't always average out to he the same man

he just said he's retarded and even rtses are too much for him when they're as simple as select unit then click attack move
I'd say eu5 is easy to get into but epic and eu4 is even easier to get into but not as epic Victoria 3 is just a bad game (5/10 at best) and Victoria 2 is easy to get into but janky and you need mods that ARENT easy to get into because they don't have any tutorials and expect you to read the changelog to know what's what.Ck2 and 3 are both super easy to get into but you need to be wearing a skirt to enjoy those or at the very least a clitty cage

aren't they getting raped by tigris or whatever again
tigray got rolled in a week and fled to eritrea
the 94 guy is rael but his background is sloppa'd the real funny thing is what he claims, and i took the time to listen to his video. yes, alcohol is bad for you and pretty much no one claims otherwisebut when you claim to be special forces when you're just a medic guy, and i've spoken to special forces men, you're just coming off as a poser.to clarify, what he experienced while being ATTACHED to special forces was treating for substance abuse people who were always misfits to society and who would abuse any substance they got their hands on; people who, if they hadn't landed in SOF, would end up in jail
>Government forces seize capital of Ethiopia's Tigray region from rebels>24 days agowtf why didn't you guys tell me
>>2512126you are supremely retarded
>and pretty much no one claims otherwiseWRONG my dad always repeats the "doctors recommend 1 glass of wine a day for detox" bullshit every time he's prompted >being a medic in the military doesn't give you the cred to say you've been in the military (while wearing scrubs making it obvious what your role was)okay retard
we told you but the jews didn't want you to hear about the only non-mosselman northwest african region
most people in the military dont see action, they just larp all day
>treating for substance abuse people who were always misfits to society and who would abuse any substance they got their hands onwow its almost like if the substance was out of their grasp, so like, illegal maybe, they wouldn't be doing that... woah...
and me dad always repeats that israel is our greatest ally>okay retardif a guy lies about his stolen valor it's only logical he'll lie about other things. if he wants to be taken seriously he aught not to cry wolf
>and me dad always repeats that israel is our greatest allyyeah and if I said "no mutt ever claims Israel is their greatest ally" that'd be proving me wrong>liesWheres the lie retard? Point to the untruthful statement he made.
ddi you know that local e-jeeptian elites and their british collaborators force the people of e-jeep to grow cotton instead of food as a breadbasket the river usually has been, in order to meet textile demands in europe, led to a series of famines as the local dictator preferred cash crops than sustenance.
technically it wouldnt prove you wrong unless he also states that his dad is america
claiming to be special forces without stating the unit, while just being a physician attached to a nondescript special forces unit
>you have to dox yourself actually he said he was in the military he was in the militaryfrom context (like how he says he treated people while in the military several times) its clear he was in the military as a medicso where's the fucking lie? he didn't specify which unit? why would that make what he said a lie? retard
>claiming to be special forceshe didn't that's just in your head because you have early schizophrenia
he said he was in the special forces, yet he doesn't understand the the people who are commonly in the special forces, all whilst using the connection to special forces as a credibility builder for his youtube video
look, we get it, you linked a video and you like it, but there's no reason to lie about thingshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1ZW1r0-qrI&t=46shere's the timestamp for where he claims to be former SOFbest part is that i don't dispute that alcohol is harmful for health, no one does. it's that when you start off your video with a lie it's only logical that what follows might be a lie as well
>yet he doesn't understand the the people who are commonly in the special forces,And you do?
i've spoken with people who were special forces, particularly on the subject of how it fits into the general armed forces. i've drank with men who were shortly after deployment to afghanistan and men who were recently recruited into special forces out of line unitsi know enough for it to tell someone might be talking out of his ass to establish credibility among laics
i don't fucking care retards kys kys kys
Thoughts on this?
i'll tell you when i get my hands on the files
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Heals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed prescriptions.

My last Poland game in CK2 I started as a Ruthenian nobody in Volhynia and made Orthodox Poland then got bored almost instantly because I did not get any of the fun religious civil wars I wanted. Once you reach king tier, short of intentionally siring a procession of useless retards, the game really is just passively outscaling the AI.
don't you lose land after you die with multiple sons, though? this happens in ck3, creating a cycle of waxing and waning in your realm's bordersa (temporary?) balkanization
depends on succession law
>then got bored almost instantly because I did not get any of the fun religious civil wars I wantedyou had two options; either set the difficulty to very hard or purposely dont minmax by roleplaying.you didnt do either. so really this is a (You) problemo muchacho
well then just don't research 'better' succession laws that make your game too easythat way you'll get to enjoy the perpetual cycle of wax and wane, union and division, instead of the easy mode you hate
>>2512423russia was a shithole before during and after nickelsonn doe
will pole5pole comply with the results of the pole
pretty sure that most people in russia/siberia were doing just fine during the years of the tsari'm betting your definition of shithole is "muh cold weather muh lack of infrastructure", which wasn't something any other european ruler would be able to deal with
look chud, they don't all live in megalopoles and they don't watch jewish cabarets every evening which means the country is a shithole
You're making assumptions here. I'm specifically talking about roleplaying. Difficulty has no bearing on AI aggressiveness, nor are the bonuses to income or morale challenging even on very hard, so that's just irrelevant. Actually, playing on very easy is more likely to present challenges with its 50% fertility boost giving more heirs for your realm to be divided between.And, like I said, you have to go out of your way to make incompetent children. Unless you have them sitting around court doing nothing for 20 years, they naturally become ubermensch simply through education and random events. And even, let's say, you intentionally educate your son on etiquette and end up with a slothful lunatic, you land him and let him accumulate RNG traits and they all happen to be maluses, the minute you die and said son inherits you're bombarded with random events that try their level best to fix all of those traits. And before you mention it, I'm not just talking about "choose between just or arbitrary" where the only incentive to choose the bad option is to be roleplaying your lazy retard character, which is fine because I do.But even when I do manage to cultivate an uninspiring heir, vassals don't get pissed off quickly enough to even want to revolt unless I roll lunatic or arbitrary and actively begin terrorising vassals. My zealous (literally the only circumstance where I actually set my chaplain to convert) king just converted most of the country without a fuss. When I play as a tolerant ruler, vassals are never bothered enough to want to unseat me.
And regardless of all of anything I've said, gold is utterly trivial to obtain and there is nothing to WASTE it on. Anything you manage to spend it on provides tangible benefits which just cement your superiority further. Glutton hosts many feasts and spends his life carousing? Great, your vassals like you a lot more and half of them are your close personal friends. Your diligent ruler invests it all in your holdings? Nice, now the inbred retard who follows will have more men than the rest of the realm combined. Greedy bastard empties the realm's entire treasury on jewels? Your vassals like you more for it. Arbitrary king decides to spend his life hunting instead of ruling? He gets rewarded with constant trait boosts that aid his rule. Zealous king dedicates his life to prayer and neglects his material realm? Great, he gets every positive trait in the book and becomes a saint. The only situation in which you are actually likely to leave yourself weak is to roll slothful and roleplay it by doing literally nothing until you die.Anybody who argues with me and my experience of actually roleplaying doesn't actually roleplay but acts like he does to seem like he "gets" the game more than anyone who criticises it.
>>>/blogpost/
if you want fun religious wars, and if by fun you mean challenging, idk what is "fun" to you, then simply stay small enough that the wars are challenging.what appears to be the problem?
Because staying small means you still get huge levies by virtue of having fewer holdings to upgrade. And, in this particular example, as with most of my campaigns, I did stay small, with my only holdings being Krakow and a few surrounding counties, in a realm of nothing but Catholics everywhere but the worthless shithole that is Galicia-Volhynia. But I guess the only way to get religious civil wars is to be the sole ruler of a kingdom of an entirely different religious group (Christian ruler of nothing but Muslim vassals, e.g.). But what circumstances would reasonably lead to that happening beyond arbitrarily converting at a holy site, or your heir adventuring and converting to something completely different?"Fun" to me is challenging, but also narratively convincing in a way that I don't feel like I've forced it to happen the exact opposite way of powergaming a good outcome. Which is the issue I have ranted about this entire time.And yeah I'm blogposting because I have nothing better to do at work.
sounds like you're arguing for why ck2 is too easy despite everything you do, thenso just play ck3, thenat least vassals in that do revoltvassals not of your culture and/or religion will absolutely revoltand like i said earlier, breeding as much as you can will make your game harder for you when you finally start playing as your heir>Because staying small means you still get huge levies by virtue of having fewer holdings to upgrade.how the fuck does that work?
>>2512680>Because staying small means you still get huge levies by virtue of having fewer holdings to upgradeI don't get itJust don't upgrade the shitty onesWho's forcing you?The real advantage of staying small is that in ck3 tech is tied to culture not provinces so you benefit from having a tiny insular culture that's just your Capital duchy and nothing else, a wakanda if you will
i think honestly the only reasonable way to experience ck2 in that way is to play vanilla/with only the first few dlcs because the later ones introduced all of the power creep through needing to justify every new mechanic by giving it worthwhile positive outcomes (more than negative ones or the cattle wont pay for it) and each one of these compounds into making your entire dynasty invincible
I disagree Simplus because ck2 had those pogan Wars holu Wars and tiehitout them dlcs they are too week for the ai to be a threat
ignore the typo poster, he is a troll
so is eu5 getting more updates soon or is 1.4.5 the version to pedo?
1.3.11 would be the best version to pirate because it is the last version that has the hourly ticks, but it's probably too late for you to do that because probably every providing website has phased it out in favor of the current version
if russia was such a heavens chudiums how come nicky almost got assasinated and his country got destroyed by a liberal revolution at the first chance
i still haven't forgiven how the ai in ck2 is both retarded and always out for blood making it impossible to play a loyal vassal
because he instituted a prohibitionand because of the jews
nobody here has claimed russia to be a "heavens chudiums", dear retard who can't comprehend nuance
Has anyone molded 1.3.11 ticks back into 1.4.whatever?ngl i hate that change but I also like ring mana, felt really weird having your legitimacy tank because you grant city rights to one city, makes them useless as well since it costs x amount of gold per monthn to bring it back up and that scales with your economy but city rights don't scale at all except I guess with population which I guess grows but not nearly enough to make then viable Economy in 1.3.11 feels kinda fucked too ngl like yeah it works but because there's no tariffs most markets have lots of everything and it's all over produced to shit
3 drop the pretense little boy
>sounds like you're arguing for why ck2 is too easy despite everything you do, thenYes, that's exactly what I am arguing about against everyone saying "u r just not rping hard enuf bro". Well done.>how the fuck does that work?Because every holding centralised within your capital county and primary duchy gets extra bonuses. And, once all of them are upgraded, there is nothing else to spend money on but stupid shit like artifacts or retinues (which I don't use because that's just turning on retard difficulty), great works (which I loathe also), upgrading baron-tier vassal holdings for more free levies/money etc. etc. Yes, I take the point regarding gavelkind, but that takes a good three-or-so generations, depending on how far you previously went out of your way to powergame stack fertility bonuses, to present actual difficulty, by which time the gold issue is solved making recovering from that trivial.>Just don't upgrade the shitty ones Who's forcing you?Then all of that money likes to sit around doing nothing. Yes, it is possible to play the game like that, with 25000 gold sitting around never to be spent. But that is again intentionally gimping oneself in order to force a challenge and, if you are capable of reading, you would see that this is exactly what I'm annoyed with.>ck2 is worse than ck3 Simpluy by virute of stress mechanicwould be true but having a mental breakdown/dying from doing a few out-of-character things is cartoonish and dumb. Just grey them out completely.

Personally I am SO excited for eu5 anbennarI don't know how they're gonna do assimilation with all the elves and shit, eu5 supports a lot more cultural diversity than eu4 so maybe they're gonna split cultures up so that you have lorentish elves and lorentish humans and so on... and you assimilate elves into lorentish elves, which are in the moon elf culture group.... yeah.......I'm also exited to play eu5 in general fbh but yway waiting for the bug fix is probably wise

in any case, it's not going to be a game that /gsg/ comes anywhere close to collectively approvingit'll be seen as some drek like v3 or imperator or march of the eagles, which only one person in here will shill about
but what if you can genocide the undesirables???
if i want to genocide undesirables i'll play stellaris or dw1 or starsector
not some madmax tranny game
who did you vote for in the Israeli election

it's set in america dude if you genocided the undesirables all you'd have left is a massive wasteland
imperator is greatwe have weekly multi-player
you and your multiple personalities
only i have more than two personalities on /gsg/ and no one else
i used to have several now i have none
the gothic ruma (thats rome for u non-goths) campaign is back.to recap our last episode, the great gothic king sisibaud has died. and whaddaya hear whaddaya know, 6 years later his son and successor dies too, while traveling back home from the eastern roman capital. foul play? only odin knows.now king lupo ascends to the gothic throne, a 5 year old goth, hes just a wee one. his granny rules the realm until he comes of age.
i want something to eat with my beer but there's nothing in the fridge
i always keep some canned meat or cured sausages for such occasions but i don't really drink bier
yeah i fucked up real bad all i have is some shitty cheap cheese that i think went bad or something
ten uneventful years later, king lupo takes the reins at age 16.he completed his martial education adequately.however, hes more of a diplomat and a scholar, stoic kinda guy, generous and compassionate. now he studies philosophy.not of a warlike type like his forefathers, he just wants to see his realm safe and maintain peace.
got himself a nice nordic wife, hes just chilling.vgh. comfy.the young king prospers.
so whats the idea after you get italyyou gonna from the Holy Roman Empire or something
main objective is to form a western roman empire and convert to hellenism and larp as the true successors of the rumonisk reiki (thats roman empire for u non-goths)

https://youtu.be/Gfyo-smhsXAgot this from an ad that said "incel? Get help."Anyway has any1 here played eu5 1.4 yet? Looks promising now that estate interactiins got nerfed
now that they fixed the bug((?? It was a bug??) where vassals and fiefdoms were divided in their loyalty through subject type malus, what's the actual difference/decision supposed to be exactly?AFAIK your ruler gaining stats via fiefdom parliament has been fixed also, so the only things I can come up with are the negligible boost to institution spread from vassals and fiefdom always inserting your religion, this only ever comes into play with like, uh... releasable historical subjects? but only after you blob your way to foreign religion countries which realistically isn't going to be in the "Yeah let me make a fiefdom sire" part of the time frame unless you're Ethiopia.and that's it? Only other thing i can come up with is that you can make a dominion out of a fiefdom. Is that the decision? Do I take the negligible buff from vassal or do I go with fiefdom because maybe I'll upgrade it to a dominion?
>vassals and fiefdoms were divided in their loyalty through subject type maluslol i thought it was a featureand yeah the only difference is whether your ruler is the top guy there but if the event doesn't work then it's meaningless
>and yeah the only difference is whether your ruler is the top guy therewhat does that do exactly?
It's weird cuz vassals everyone gets even tribal retards where as fiefdoms u get fron being a monarchy. I get that monarchy isn't exactly some super special unique government type but still, its a unique mechanic for the monarchies so shouldn't fiefdoms be, if not better, in some way different so that they're a meaningful addition to your arsenal? I truly don't get why anyone would pick one over the other, other than vassals having an institution spread bonus.Which is weird anyway cuz then like, what, vassals for far away lands, closer lands get fiefdoms? Is that the intentuon? what's the benefit of fiefdom being close?

Placeholder/protype mostly. The end goal is an original setting (pic related) with many provinces.I mostly used the Warband setting because its simplicity limits my autism.I have what gameplay I will lean into either, so it might take some time to figure that out.

>Redology (simplified Chinese: 红学; traditional Chinese: 紅學; pinyin: hóng xué) is the academic study of Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber,[2] one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China.

>one look at that map and i can tell it won't sellthat is implying I'd even charge money for it>mountain chokeholds >>inner seasBoth are on that map; I just didn't make them separate wasteland provinces.Idea was that instead of having ugly, visible wasteland, provinces simply wouldn't have adjacent connections beyond mountains. But I'm realizing it might be confusing. But in theory, it should be able to pull it off with small markers.Regardless, that map isn't very good because it has no real elevation. Once I hand-draw an elevation map for it like my previous project (pic related).
And I can't use that old setting because I became addicted to writing lore.Maybe one day...

so here we go, a new era is dawning for gothic ruma (thats rome for u non-goths).and looking at the hellenic holy sites, i must say, the idea of conquering former roman territory for the basileus and letting him reform rome has just become even more attractive to me.i mean, reforming hellenism is a no-brainer, and sweeping across north africa to secure ancient carthage and alexandria is simply the path of least resistance - i remain a loyal vassal, the basileus keeps protecting me, i conquer the required duchies for the restore rome decision, and boom, ai basileus restores rome, and btw ck3 has a "cleave the empire" decision that splits the roman empire into western/eastern empires so that could result in some funky stuff.eventually though, since upon restoring rome the basileus will take direct control of rome, the goths will probably move on, perhaps to hispania.btw check out this character, 17 learning and "wise man" trait from the hellenic astrology decision. must be some kind of 200 iq genius

Unity's splines drive me insane. Now I probably have to use duplicate splines because support for reversion is non-existent.Either way, one reason I'm making my own gsg is unit movement.In PDX games, armies exist in provinces, not between them. When an army is ordered to move from A to B, it is still in A even if its progression is 99.5%.Which means if an enemy army reaches A first, it is forced into fighting it, even though it is closer to B than A's center.This is a major issue, much bigger than most people realize. Because it essentially forces armies into unwanted and nonsensical positions due to a technicality.So my solution has been to introduce an in-between space called "routes". Battle will only happen if two armies meet in the route while going to opposite directions, or even they are going to the same direction but pursuing army moves faster than.
>>2515685battles are consensual. it's not about "catching" the enemy army. both sides know it's coming when they are in the vicinity of each other.
you're so productive man.. and here i am so demoralized to even do the most basic thing though tbf i don't think people realize just how overwhelming it is to actualize a gsg because there are like 500 interconnected things at any given time that make you just, well, overwhelmed. i noticed that you're also struggling to jump over the same barrier hence why you're planning to clone warband first though not 1:1 and expand from that >>2514252 think i'm gonna clone your approach just to one up you, maybe that way i wouldn't feel as demoralized>>2511733 at least you will take me literally now chud (i'm so ashamed to have said that a week ago and proceeded to not post any progress myself hence this post)as for free unit movement, i'm soo agreeing with your gripe brother, almost like, idk, i've been vouching for that exact mechanic revolution for the past couple of years?
i know both look like dogshit but which map do you like more?
fuck i meant this >>2511813 you vill take me literally now chud
To clarify. In reality, when two armies seeking battle fought, it was a pitched battle.PDX games do not really have pitched battles.Because armies trying to move away and avert battles are still forced into fighting
>>2515693>>2515694>>2515695Very flattering pursuit, anon.
>battles are consensual.this kid never heard of an ambush
gsg where you can hide your doomstacks behind fortified cities
gsg where i shove you against a locker and take your lunch money
All battles fall under three categories:>1. pitched battleWhere both armies are aware of each other and choose to engagee.g. Hastings>2. ambushWhere a concealed army attacks another army, forcing them to defende.g. Teutoburg>3. surprise attackWhere one army fails to detect the enemy armye.g. Stamford
right there is >4. encounter battle

... sucks
Third attempt at playing HOIIV and I think I'm starting to 'get' it. Also looking at a map of Calradia I just realised it's kind of a squished Turkey.
just watch tommykay
The thing I like about Calradia is that the map makes it feel like it's all some petty squabble over an insignificant peninsula
vgh just like good ol yurop
I dislike watching others play to learn games because it robs you of the fun of learning it yourself and fucking up in silly ways. Il Duce will prevail
yea' fuck that game, never going to try it again
>insignificant peninsulaI have been thinking about how big it is supposed to beYou can circumnavigate it in like 2 days; medieval travel speed was 50 km per day, so.The width of Calradia is like 100 km. Which would suggest our size is less than 10,000 km2.Then again, the fact that the north has permafrost and the south has a desert suggests it sits between latitudes of 60 and 30 degrees. This would mean a length of 3,336 km and an area of 11 million km2 minimum, which would make it almost two times bigger than Australia.
>>2515689Eh, yes, but that's the kind of mechanic where a battle usually has to happen and you have to abstract commander skill as the factor that decides the favourability of the beginning of a battle: is he able to get away from a pursuing army/catch up to an enemy army, is he able to detect the enemy/is he able to set up an ambush, is he able to find favourable terrain ahead of the battle/is he willing to engage an enemy in an advantageous position, are they able to re-roll for an attempt at better positioning, how well organised is their order of battle and how effectively are they able to deploy for battleit's exactly the sort of thing that should be left out of the player's hand - your decision-making extends as far as ordering the army's movements - and which should fall under the skill of the general on the field. A skilled general might be able to reposition for days or even weeks to gain an advantage while skirmishes continue, while a skilled general opposite may be able to roll against him to force an advantageous engagement.It's a little bit like what CK2's combat was trying to simulate, but only had a skeleton of on release and then never fleshed out and instead just fucked with the balance in later patches until it sucked.
just pretend that the planet calradia sits on is much smaller
Going off of Warband's map here, but the Sarrdak desert lies cleanly behind a mountain range. Temperate gulf stream winds that warm the peninsula to a recognisably-European climate would break against those mountains, resulting in a rain shadow on the far side. Meanwhile, strong polar easterlies meeting that gulf stream would result in heavy snowfall. It isn't permafrost, considering it's called the "great taiga" and not the "great frozen wastes", it's just shown that way in-game. It obviously would not work at the in-game scale of 100km or whatever, but 1000km or so, yes. It's like if the Atlantic extended as far as modern eastern Germany and the Carpathians were flipped around and were twice as tall.Or Washington State and southern BC - temperate rainforest areas receiving only a few snow days per year, with desert across the mountains only a couple hundred km inland in the south and, in the northeast, heavy snowfall.It would be possible with a peninsula that's about 700x500km (with the desert and taiga portions of the map themselves not being part of the peninsula) which is, funnily enough, about the size of Turkey
700x1000km*, don't know why I typed 500.
and when I say size I mean the land area, not the dimensions. It would have to be squished lengthways by about 200km and made 200km wider

so I'm playing Victoria 3 Russia to try the new DLCnow that I am the USSR I wanted to conquer land and release communist puppets but whenever I release them they come out as monarchiesas far as I remember released puppets used to have the same laws as the country that releases themdid this change?
wassupdudes
it's realistic, north korea is a monarchy
... but what about china?
it was supposed to be a monarchy but then mao the dong's son died while eating rice
i love ck3's combat system>here's attack and here's defence stats for your units, bro.>also make sure to consider the maintenance cost and favorable terrain bonuses for those units>also don't forget to build the right building to stack the simple modifiers that boost your attack and defence stats>you're probably going to decisively win this battlesimple and elegant, it makes it fun
need to keep it simple for all the unprivileged black children that form the majority of the playerbase
>favorable terrainthat was great additionI do wish they'd split the terrain to vegetation and elevation like eu5
isn't that the same as ck2's combat system
>Abbiamo un grave problemaMussolini is asking for 60% compliance in Ethiopia by 1938 as well. It's over.
playing as italy in goy$ is the equivalent of playing as one of the counties on the noob island of ireland in crusader kings
uhhhhhh you can handle that its not hard work your magic dudealso is it me or is that shape a bit weird its a lot more pointy than i remember it being
at this point you should really restart because 12k down is beyond garbo. when i play ital i rush a war with yugo + france asap after ethiopia and then i get bored you can cheese the ethiopian war by sitting on the frontline, only taking non vp land in the south and pushing only a bit in the north for the first 71 days, 141 if youre particularly greedy. get your army ready, planning bonus, planes, etc, then rush everything and you should be able to get the peacedeal the normal way
>>2518447are you bating?ck2's combat had multiple flanks, with each their own commander, tactics based on their personality and troop compositionCK3 just had "advantage"it is probably simmplest battle system pdx has done. They literally went from most complext to simplest.CK3's battle system is rolling
ck3's battle system is MAA and knight efficiency stacking, rng doesnt matter
>>2518555I said that poorly.Advantage determines rolls, and rolls determine damage.
no it doesntrolls are added to advantage and advantage determines damage
I wasn't really interested in cheesing as I wanted to level my generals a bit and just chill as I figure out the game/focus tree. The defecit has only increased to 11k, I've diverted everything I can to gun production. Working on pacifying the Ethiopians through the focuses at the moment. Gonna make dinner but I might post some screenshots later
11k missing from Garrison equipment, I set the reinforcement priorities to have only that reinforce so in total we're at like -15/-16k
why would I be baiting? i've never played ck3. all of what he described are features of ck2's combat system. i didn't realise he meant that was the entire system.
in general the higher resistance is the more you lose in equipment and manpower and youre bleeding both for fun especially because not equipping them only increases resistance furtherproduce more asap or restart you are fucked like germany in 1944 after stalling in russia with french poles and ukrainians rising up
72the actual ranking is World Tour > Island > Action >> s4 >>> s5 there's a big power gap between the last 2 seasons and the first 3 where as the first 3 are pretty much the same when it comes to quality with 3 winning out due to playing with the formula
Great scott how the battle system fell.People complained CK2's battle system was too complicated because it allowed 1:5 inflict pyrrhic victories by studying the different tactic from wiki, so they took it out and replaced it with winner takes all model where only terrain matters
Alright, certified ck2 pro here, over 1000 hours, I need to step in here and let you know that this thread is full of revisionist rose tinted glasses bullshit right now ck2's system has some numbers under the hood that look like they might be cool on paper, but since you don't really controm what your levies (99% of your forces) are made of, or rather you can't exclude unit types like light infantry since they come in blocs that are per holding, you always end up with a full deck of tactics anyway so the only actual gameplay the combat system enables is>put in generals that are good>don't put in generals with a few bad traits like stuttering>standard paradox terrain mechanics that are present in every game>as of some super late update, might have actually been holy fury: get a morale boost for personally leading one of the flanksThis is not conducive to any meaningful gameplay changes over the most barebones mappainter. The strategy is basicallg almost the same. You just put all of the troops in a doomstack and then hope its better than your enemy's doomstack. There is no actual strategising to be done with that combat system.The only exceptions are>hordes have a functional "standing army" that isn't just an addition to the levy so you can put horse archers and only horse archers into one flank. This gives you slightly better tactics because the pool is smaller. The AI doesn't know how to do this and honestly it barely matters, probably makes you like 5% more effective.>"defensive pagans" (slavs romuva finns and idk probably africans) get a big boost to attrition on their land that other religions get, but not them.
this is something for sure but your capacity to build "forts" is pretty limited in ck2, especially as tribes, so there's not much you can do with this information.99.5% of the combat encounters in that game is just "bigger stack wins" and the actual combat "minigame" doesn't matter. If any of the rose tinted glasses posters were honest they would also admit that they when playing just pressed the autoassing to flanks button because there is nothing you can realistically accomplish there besides assigning leaders to flanks.meanwhile ck3's system is better in one particular regard: your "men at arms" (standing army) form a real and meaningful percentage of your troops, especially in terms of power level, so the choice is actually meaningful. In ck2 they were only really useful for mopping up small 1 county shitholes if you had a big blob but didn't feel like raising levies or transporting them far, which is niche and happens by the time you won already, I'd say it's better because something > nothingPS. EU5's combat is the best tho they do need to balance quantity not being so powerful
>People complained CK2's battle system was too complicatedhistorical revisionism, people complained the system looks cool on paper but is knee deep at best once you actually start playing since close to launch https://t-a-w.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-not-to-design-game-mechanics.html?m=1this is something I see from sad gamer boys online quite a lot>I like this game I'm nostalgic for >I identify as a super duper hardcore gamer with total gamer cred not like those steamcordplaza casuals that only plays hardcore games for hardcore gamers>therefore this game I'm nostalgic for must've actually been super difficult and people saying it's flawed must just be le bad at ithappens with morrowind all the time
now that you've read my 3 post ramble, here's some editor's notes: clicked on a podcast I've been previously listening to like 5 years ago I guess and one of the hosts transitioned from male to female made me feel a lot wish I had such a supportive group of friends like that I still think I'm not actually trans and I'm just living in a society that treats non-masculine (aka nonviolent, meek, passive) men as something unwanted. throughout my life it feels like I have to constantly justify my existence to others who presume hostile intentions where as women don't have to deal with that. there's spaces right now that women get to enter free but I'd have to pay as the most obvious example, but generally it always feels like I'm unwanted. I'd button scenario myself in a heartbeat but it's more like a black guy wishing he was white IMO, not some biological predisposition I have. all this to say I will now wallow in self pity about how none of this is my fault and its just society not treating me right, something I will justifiably get criticised for but wouldn't nearly as much if I was complaining about sexisim, but as a woman. thanks for proving my point bye
fuck off tranny nobody cares

>over 1000 hoursis that supposed to be impressive or something?
1k hours isn't impressive (getting a good job would be) but it is indicative of them knowing what they're talking about when it comes to the game's mechanics https://pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=6aecc1cc9cbe2
i cared and did read all that and believe what he said is spot on>ck3's men at arms mogs ck2's retinues on all fields>ck3's knights (power of friendship) mogs ck2's 3 slot generals>ck3 lets you customize your army composition with absolute freedom, yes even the levies
>Here is the situation around the start of 1937. We've been bleeding manpower and guns ever since Ethiopia capitulated, and the Grand Council of Fascism estimates that ~75k men and ~2k guns have been lost in the course of counter-insurgency efforts over the last 6 months. Serious measures have been taken to remove this thorn from our side however, and the situation seems to have stabilised with the defecit in equipment slowly being mended. The main goal right now is keeping resistance levels below 48%, as above it we get massive penalties to Damage to Garrisons. I'm researching MPs and have spies rooting out resistance in the Ethiopian highlands as well so this might be recoverable. The advisor is a Prince of Terror for -25% Damage to Garrisons, and Il Duce has assumed control of the Ministry of Justice for extra Resistance Decay btw.
I agree and I'd also like to say the fourth post raises good points too
I don't play hoi 4 because I don't like the whole "focus tree" mechanicBasically an eu4 mission tree that does itself, at least in eu4 it tells you to do x and how you go about doing x is up to you, in hoi4 you just wait
hoi3 is the objectively better game

>>2518643>>2518647>Alright, certified ck2 pro here, over 1000 hours,I have almost 1500 hours, btw>99.5% of the combat encounters in that game are just "bigger stack wins"You are missing the impact of battles, which is fundamentally different.In CK3, because 90% of damage happens during the retreat phase, the winner almost always takes fewer casualties, even if the defeated party was defending mountains.In CK2, mountains were extremely costly for attackers even if they won.I recall losing like 3 battles defending in the mountains and ultimately winning the war because the enemy took so many casualties from them.>pressed the autoassing to flanks button because there is nothing you can realistically accomplish there besides assigning leaders to flanks.So you genuinely don't understand the flank system? By using auto-distribution are depriving advantage of the system.You can win 1:3 battles easily on the plains with the right distribution; the concept is concentration of force: you put 50% of your army into one flank, because when they break your enemy, they get 30% flank bonus. Meanwhile you put your defensive unit other flanks and hope they can hold out.
>stacking additional rows of men means the ones in front somehow kill more effectively"""historians""" expect me to believe this bullshit?
as opposed to the unparalleled historical authenticity of memegame2's combat system where dozens of brigades sit politely in the rear because the tooltip says only 30 regiments can participate at a time, despite the battle spanning several hundred square kilometres of open plains?
Been refitmaxxing the navy, these WW1 destroyers better be worth the IC
look, ck2 provinces are way smaller than several hundred kilometers wide, so that many troops cannot physically fitalso because combat width is about the ability to command, which is limited in a large army when all you have to rely on are messengers

but they were western before the soviet involvement, just like slovenia, because of the germans(it actually wasn't soviet involvement czechia was a neutral democracy after the war and all the soviet troops left but the czechs liked communism so much they putsched benes and willingly made themselves a soviet puppet)

>>2519027>increased granularity in the map to the point where most provinces have no holdings (these serve as RGOs e.g. farms, forests, mines and just represent a locality rather than an entire modern day administrative unit) but which can potentially have holdings built on at the cost of losing whatever productivity was on it>warfare becomes sieging and manouevreing>in enemy territory you pillage the lands as you go to supply your army and deny the enemy the productivity, but this also means retreating the same way can lead to a lack of supply>your own land supplies your army but this quickly depletes if your army sticks around for too long and this also affects the province's productivity while it recovers>every province has advantages and disadvantages attacking/defending relative to all of its neighbours - no more "defending in mountains": the enemy might well be attacking from uphill of you>this also means that no longer are 90% of attacks disadvantaged by "attacking across river" because most provinces are shaped by the rivers surrounding/cutting right through them>this solves the problem of warfare just being tricking the enemy into suiciding their numerically superior army into your defensible position: mediaeval battles were about pressing the attack when you had the advantage, not sitting around on top of a hill waiting for the enemy to charge up it>besieging and occupying holdings such as castles and cities chokes the enemy's ability to continue to wage war as all incomes from the surrounding countryside are cut off>siege warfare involves sending raiding parties, splitting up your army instead of just sitting with your numerically superior doomstack on top of holdings, to supply the ongoing siege>this devastates the surrounding countryside, which also makes it harder for a relief force to approach >wars may occur with zero battles even taking place, just sieging down strategically and economically important locationsthe gsg we will never have

@68that's because millions of poles moved thereit's deceptive whiteness
>>2519250>>increased granularity in the mapThink EU5 map will be the ceiling.>no more "defending in mountains"Frankly, I don't understand why they so stuck in three levels, plains, hills, and mountains.I fucking hill terrain so much, it doesn't make any sense.There are hills fucking everywhere in the world, and major battles often took place on a hill despite countryside being flat.
the previous eu4 terrain mechanics reflected what you're referring to. don't you remember?it used to be that each province had a unique random percentage chance of the battle happening in a type of terrain. let's say 50% plains, 25% hills, 25% woods, rolled at the start of each battle
this is why vicky 2 is the bestan army would just entrench itself no matter what the terrain is and wait for the enemy to bump into them first, if they had balls that is.
*charges at russian cannons*
ah yes, a mechanic stolen from good ol Sid Meier's. how original.though of course it comes with the game's special kind of retardation of requiring precisely 2000.0 research points as if nobody could possibly comprehend the concept of fortifying one's position before 1840.you can take the game out of the meme, but you can't take the meme out of memegame.
mindbroken about a 20 year old game
>>2519358I do remember that, but it doesn't address my concern.I mean hill terrain is a fundamentally retarded idea, again, because hills are everywhere.Look at East Sussex in CK3, it is farmland, but Hastings was on a hill.If anything, an army seizing hills should be the default exception.So, what I'm saying is that they should just remove hills as terrain altogether and give hill bonus to the defender by default.
