Yes, it's also a Grand Strategy game since you manage a country

>>180703115
>sengoku rance

Is this game actually good?

>>180703115
Hm so Civ is also a grand strategy?

>>180703115

It's turn based and not real time, hardly grand strategy from my point of view.

>>180703175
The actual gameplay is pretty decent for what it is, a porn game.

Still, there are better games if you are only interested about the strategy parts.

>>180703175
Yes it's pretty fun even without the sex
>>180703178
No because Civ 5 is a 4x game, not based in real history and with a randomly generated map
>>180703202
Irrelevant

>>180703305
I actually don't mind vn's, I've played a couple that were really enjoyable.

>>180703314
> Irrelevant

Completely relevant, one of the biggest characteristics of grand strategy is the fact that you actually feel the flow of time dynamically, your ruler changes and the political and strategical situation can change suddenly in the same game without needing to be scripted.

This is why I also feel that the HOI series is not "pure" grand strategy but rather watered down war games with grand strategy elements.

This brings up a good question /gsg/, what would you do, if some one was playing EU4, or HOI4, on there laptop and you heard "Clack, Clack, WAHOO! LOOK AT MY GERMANIC EMPIRE.

>>180704343
Another greatly insightful argument.

Truly, /gsg/ is the new agora of all meaningful intellectual discussions.

>Arguing over something that doesnt exist.

I will critique grand strategy. You are all free to offer a rebutal.

>Critique 1: Luck Versus Genius. Strategy is an illusion because it is impractical to judge in advance which risk is reasonable or which strategy is less justifiable than another.

>Critique 2: Randomness Versus Prediction. Strategy is an illusion because results do not follow plans. Complexity and contingency preclude controlling causes well enough to produce desired effects. Hindsight reveals little connection between the design and denouement of strategies. The problem before the fact appears to be estimating risk (probability of failure), but the record after the fact suggests that the real problem is pure uncertainty.

>Critique 3: Psychoanalysts Versus Conscious Choice. Strategy is an illusion because leaders do not understand what motives drive them, and they delude themselves about what they are really trying to do. They use war not for manifest political purposes but for subliminal personal ones, so the link between political ends and military means is missing at the outset.

>Critique 4: Cognition Versus Complex Choice. Cognitive constraints on individual thought processes limit strategists’ ability to see linkages between means and ends, or to calculate comprehensively.

>Critique 5: Culture Versus Coercion. Coercive strategies aimed at an adversary’s will depend on communication. Cultural blinders prevent the common frames of reference necessary to ensure that the receiver hears the message that the signaler intends to send.

>Critique 6: Friction Versus Fine-Tuning. Even if cultural blinders do not foreordain deafness when coercive signals are sent, normal operational friction delays execution of plans and decouples signals from the events to which they are meant to respond. Strategy that depends on coupling then collapses.

>>180705310
Who are you quoting?

>>180705402
Nice rebuttal.

>>180704548

Are EUIV or HOI4 good yet?

>>180705843
do you really have to ask

>>180705843
EU4 is pretty enjoyable right now, it only took Paradox a shit ton of expansions to finally make the game good.

HOI4 is still horrible, and it's probably gonna stay that way, the game mechanics themselves are flawed and not enjoyable; and the team in charge of the project has not been doing a good job with the expansions (both of them being pretty lackluster in terms of content).

>>180705998
did they bring back the sliders? if not eu4 is still shit

>>180705898
I was hoping that they'd be alright at least.
>>180705998

>>180706065
The sliders were overrated desu, while the idea itself was great and it's a shame Paradox got rid of it, the way it was implemented in EU3 was horrible, for most of them there wasn't even a choice, the bonuses that one end of the slider provided were indisputably better than those of the other.

>>180706149
I recommend you purchase the original game and pirate the DLCs, most of them are quite important and add a ton of mechanics that make the game enjoyable, but they are way too many and are pretty expensive.

Common Sense, the Art of War, and the Cossacks are the "chunkiest" expansions though.

NEO VICTORIA - THE CYBER REVOLUTION

The Cyber/Steampunk Parkour Zombie Revolution Mod For Victoria II Is Here GSG

NeoVictoria follows a deranged and disturbing timeline where following the invention of the internet during the early 19th century after a catasrophic event with uncertain roots Queen Victoria was able to impose a Pan-European Cyberstate over her domain. All-seeing Vaporwave Neon Pyramids defend the Holy CyberNetic Realm, and a massive eye in the clouds looks over the Motherboard that is the TechoMistresses Divine Kingdom.

In The East, The NeoByzantine Lands of CyberMesopotania and Nu-Babylon have successfully connected each of their citizens to an All-knowing Hivemind via Neural Implants in their brains. The CyberPharoah is connected with his land and the land connected with him. He is truly the state.

In the barren east, survivors of the apocalypse have constructed a highly technological society from the rubble. A crude form of internet, constructed with pipes,cogs and valves powers this highly engineered society, merchants operate from their NetNavigators in their trade with the Australian Tribes and children are literally born with the power of the cyberzone inbedded in their minds. Their Capital: NeoTokyo, bleeds…

America is divided into a multitude of DataRepublics, all vying for supremacy. The WebLuddites, shunning all forms of cybernetic communication clash with Her Cybernetic Highness'es forces in the barren wastelands of Greenland.

The world stands still as the powers-that-be prepare to play their cards, and there can only be one in this new age of the Cyber Revolution. Which side are you on?

Slave to the cyberzone. Can U Escape??

Invite her out stargazing and spend have a nice dinner with her beforehand.
Declare her the legal guardian of 2 of your children.

could i do the same thing with an american native country? just keep increasing the development until i fully embrace each institution? or do i have to know about it first through trade or something?

A crude form of internet, constructed with pipes,cogs and valves powers this highly engineered society, merchants operate from their NetNavigators in their trade with the Australian Tribes and children are literally born with the power of the cyberzone inbedded in their minds. Their Capital: NeoTokyo, bleeds…

America is divided into a multitude of DataRepublics, all vying for supremacy. The WebLuddites, shunning all forms of cybernetic communication clash with Her Cybernetic Highness'es forces in the barren wastelands of Greenland.

The world stands still as the powers-that-be prepare to play their cards, and there can only be one in this new age of the Cyber Revolution. Which side are you on?

Slave to the cyberzone. Can U Escape??

I think you can choose to retain your old ideas after forming a nation, so a Scottish GB can still have Scottish ideas.

The Soviet Union supported any national liberation movement in the developing world because they were deemed progressive and anti-imperialist.

We stand unbowed before their infopics
We defy their raids and shitposts

Let us be inspired by like and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from steamcord

I hate to be this fag but I took a course on the Chinese revolution last semester
what exactly did they preserve

Things PRC has destroyed on purpose:
>Classical Chinese writing
>Chinese music
>Confucianism
>Chinese traditional education
>The entire intellectual class
>Non-Mandarin dialects of Chinese
>The traditional Chinese family structure (they even tried community parenting to make statistics look like they thought they should)

Conservative Chinese culture is entirely to do with hierarchy: see the Five Relationships or the entire pliant submissive - overbearing dominant stereotypical social positions for a classical example. The PRC did everything to eliminate all non-party hierarchy in China and in order to do it nearly took the China out of the Chinese.

he's right though, oppressive bureaucracy is the only major trait of Chinese culture the PRC has actually preserved. They destroyed everything else, whether deliberately or accidentally through negligence. It's no wonder they're super autistic about their country's artifacts and museums, as well as making sure they're the only China in the world. If they didn't have those you couldn't even be sure they were actually China and not some invading nomad people that happened to settle in the same location.

blobbing means that you re only expanding and preparing to expand even more once you re at peace.

>>180740789
>i don't know what blobbing is anyway
expanding for the sake of expanding instead of sticking to borders that are aesthetically pleasing, historical or somewhat plausible from an alt-his perspective

isn't there a limit to how much you can expand?
I mean, expanding is usually always a way to "out macro" your opponent in RTS, I suppose it's the same for grand strat ?
But yeah, there is a limit to how much territory you can claim, right? You can't create land out of nowhere, can you ?

>>180720081
Sell your territory to the Russians.

No, you can easily conquer the world in pretty much anything but Victoria 2, but even then someone managed to do it. Someone conquered the world in a mere 9 (out of 700~) years in CK2. Blobbing is piss easy.
