We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, August 9th:
48 BC – Caesar's Civil War: Battle of Pharsalus: Julius Caesar decisively defeats Pompey at Pharsalus and Pompey flees to Egypt.
1842 – The Webster–Ashburton Treaty is signed, establishing the United States–Canada border east of the Rocky Mountains.
1942 – Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi is arrested in Bombay by British forces, launching the Quit India Movement.
1942 – World War II: Battle of Savo Island: Allied naval forces protecting their amphibious forces during the initial stages of the Battle of Guadalcanal are surprised and defeated by an Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser force.

These are just the facts. Alex Grandi is the most autistic and destructive force /gsg/ has ever seen.

Truth Napalm. Alex Grandi and redditors who came here for his mod might try to make the false equivalence that because you don't support HPM means you support Rob even though both are equally autistic and butthurt.

I autistically identify as Alex Grandi. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of bringing redditors from r/paradoxplaza and shitting up the thread with my adoring fans. People say to me that a person being a chemistry teacher and a modder is impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install some steel, tea and a piece of wallonia on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "HPM" and respect my right to have my adoring fans remove all mods I don't like from the OP and harass other modders. If you can't accept me you're a Grandiphobe and need to fuck off of my safe space. Obrigado.

Original:
Seriously, how the fuck do you play Krakow in HPM? I get to around 1850 then Austria declares war to annex me and my ally, whether it be Russia or Prussia, either refuses to join or peaces me out of the war as soon as Krakow is occupied, resulting in a game over.
Of course, if I ally with Austria I get absolutely nothing done because it's a weak fucking country who never wants to help me reclaim my cores from Russia.
What's the point of playing a nation if it only exists to be swallowed by a great power 15 years into the game? Is the only way to form Poland in Vicky to release it from one of the powers holding its cores?

Iberia:
Seriously, how the fuck do you play Iberia in HPM? I get to around 1836 then HPM declares war to not let me form and my ally, whether it be AFPG or Cobra, either refuses to join or peaces me out of the war as soon as the map loads, resulting in a game over.
Of course, if I ally with Rob I get absolutely nothing done because it's a shitty fucking memer who never wants to help me reclaim my cores from HPM.
What's the point of playing a nation if it doesn't exists, ¿to be swallowed by HPM's big sticky arguments 0 years into the game? Is the only way to form Iberia in Vicky to release it from one of the mods holding its cores?

/gsg/:
Seriously, how the fuck do you browse /gsg/ in /vg/? I get to around 600 posts then faggots start shitting up the thread and my janitor, whether it be HPM or Rob, either refuses to moderate or does it for free as soon as the thread is shat up, resulting in a game over.
Of course, if I report the posts I get absolutely nothing done because it's a weak fucking janny who never wants to help me reclaim my general from the steam group.
What's the point of browsing a general if it only exists to be overrun with shitposters 600 posts into the thread? Is the only way to have a decent general to go to other chans?

CK2 noob here

So I started as the Duke of Burgundy and my liege apparently united West and Middle Francia.

But now there are a shit ton of civil wars in West Frank and we seem to be losing this one.

And my vassals hate me because niggers keep trying to pull plots on me and I arrested one guy and now I'm a tyrant which gives -40 relations. Should I have just gave them council power? They also wanted seniority succession but that seemed like it was too far.

I might restart and try a later start date somewhere else in France.

I think that's a very narcissistic viewpoint.

How important is literacy? Will I be alright just taking the research point techs as gross ottomaniums?
>>
>>151127312
Industrialization and research both get gimped by low literacy. POPs with <50% literacy can't become clerks (reduced industrial profits and research points). Plus literacy has a sizeable impact on research point gain.

So no, get biologism (for the 50% education efficiency), encourage up to 4% intellectuals/clergy per state, and don't be an uneducated kebab.

Also take Wien.

Right but it would be cool to have a northern island like an alt-history Britain or something
>>
>>151128073
Unless you're playing multiplayer, why are you bothering to focus on military in the first half of the century? You're supposed to use the opening decades to build up your population and industry so that you can compete with Germany (starts with high literacy and ethnic homogeneity) and Britain (established industrial base and huge amount of raw resource and manpower). Low literacy means slower research (which is lower military potential later on, less money, less RGOs, etc.) and slower industrialization. So yeah, you sacrifice military right now for intellectuals (which is better military+industry later on).

Plus, most conquests are much cheaper infamy-wise after the Berlin Congress and your chief enemies (Austria and Russia) will do exactly what you planned to: focus on military and let low literacy take its toll until they fall decades behind in research and industry. Then get stackwiped by Germany.

>>151128336
The one of the right. Has more potential for trade, wars, just more stuff happening than having the island off where the southern bit can't interact with it in a meaningful way.

This is the world so far. Things seem pretty normal so far besides the fact Portugal isnt colonizing anything besides the Caribbean, they have however taken a large chunk of north africa. The HRE is entirely reformed/protestant, and I have just finished westernizing, so hopefully when I catch up in military tech I can take back the land Sweden took from me.

The way the lands are awarded is bizarre (should primarily be to lesser sons and shit, not the King of France), same with them mostly getting there via ship.

to be honest i think the kingdom of Jerusalem should be founded as an independent regardless of who participates the most

counties should be handed automatically to the people with most participation, with the one who has the most becoming king. if you're a count/duke of another territory you'd have the option of abandoning your territory back home. if you do, the new county becomes your primary title and your old title is handed to someone else in your dynasty. if you choose to decline, you gain prestige/piety and the holy land county is instead given to someone in your dynasty.

only people with the crusader trait would be given territory. if there's not enough counts/dukes with the crusader trait, then any other courtiers (or randomly generated ones) with the trait would be given it.

in general this would make crusades less enticing - but crusades shouldn't be seen as a way to gain MORE territory for large empires anyway. they should be "new starts" if you're playing as a count/duke (or king maybe, i guess). pious AI count/dukes should have a large weight towards crusades

since king/emperors have less reason to participate now, they could gain large amounts of prestige/piety for participating.

Sounds good to me. MODS

Could be a good way for big guys like the Kaiser to get rid of troublesome vassals while getting prestige and piety, too. Just send Poppo there to Jerusalem after the Crusade is won so he stops plotting against you.

So I have been reading a little bit about combat in CKII, a thing that I never did before.

I used to stack archers and cavalry in my retinues, and that did the job pretty well.

Now I am reading that the best thing to do is to stack defense retinues, which sounds pretty lame (more cost efficient I guess).

Any comment on this ?

Johan: You want answers?

/gsg/: I want the truth!

Johan: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has profits. And those profits have to be maintained by casuals. Who's gonna do it? You? You, /gsg/? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for East vs West and you curse Paradox. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that East vs West's death, while tragic, probably saved money. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves money...You don't want the truth.
We use words like casual, streamlining, wider audience...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very games I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide them! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a face pack DLC and be a good goy. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

/gsg/: Did you cancel East vs West?

Johan: (quietly) I did the job Wester sent me to do.

/gsg/: Did you cancel East vs West?!

Johan: You're goddamn right I did!!

Why does paradox use this name as a blanket term for all partible inheritance laws? It was only used in Kent and its historical development is completely opaque, to the point that historians are unsure whether it's an Anglo-Saxon innovation, a system unique to Kent or an evolution of an earlier Germanic system.

Salic inheritance would be a much better name because partible inheritance is what's responsible for the HRE looking like someone vomited on a map after salsa night at Taco Bell.

Coring in EU4 is basically bullshit, just casting a spell using paper mana to make the people calm down. In EU3, it made more sense, because outside of a few events the only way to get a core on a conquered province was to wait 50 years, IE the time it takes for a whole new generation to live and die under the rule of your nation.

Nah it's the time you need for your people to think "wow this is actually part of our nation, not some bs conquered territory". In EU3 it made sense because it took a long-ass time and essentially meant everyone who was around for the 'old times' when your nation didn't own the place is dead and buried and everyone left grew up under your rule and thinks of it as natural.

The setting should be a liquor factory, or perhaps a steel factory, that everyone works at. HPM is there to pay for college, the shitpost squad is there because no one else will hire them, Janny is the boss (bureaucrat) of the factory, Johan and Wiz are the capitalists.

The plot of one of the episodes could be that the factory is becoming unprofitable, until HPM invents the Bessemer process and saves the day.

In M&T, a non-cored province doesn't arbitrarily increase country-wide revolt risk. Instead, it subtracts directly from your income and your maximum power and has LOWERED local revolt risk, representing how it ties up some of your troops in imposing temporary martial law. Once it's been cored, you get your manpower and income back--but, since the temporary police force of federal troops is withdrawn, the revolt risk shoots back up. However, if you have enough income and maximum manpower, you can just keep provinces under indefinite martial law.

There is, you get a reduced war exhaustion cap.
In older expansions you got cheaper tech too so it was a competitive choice, but the era really is about the centralizing nation states so it makes sense that centralization is strictly better. Centralized nation states had a significant advantage historically over their rivals.

The french constitution guaranteed rights for ALL legal citizens, regardless of race, laying the foundation for modern egaltiarianism.

You do realise it inspired the revolutions in south america, including such highlights as Hidalgo's band of mestizo's slaughtering and raping white people?

>" In Les Mans women and girls were dragged out into the streets where their clothes were torn off and they were raped. However the Revolutionary soldiers were not satisfied with that. Corpses were violated as well. In Noyades in the Loire , men and women tied together naked and then thrown alive into the river. After being beheaded, decapitated bodies would be taken in put into vulgar sexual positions. There is no better word to describe it than ” One huge sadistic sex orgy “."

You, as a non-GP New Worlder, get a decision to increase immigration attraction by 500% (more or less) for 5 years, if I recall. Otherwise, you'll have to hope the USA falls to a dictatorship or just get used to them hogging 70% of all immigrants.

>>151166512
Who defines unwashed masses? Who is fit to rule? Is it people of a certain ethnic group, certain people of a certain socio-economic group, certain people of a dynasty? What should their powers be, should they have limits, etc.?

Dictatorships work out if the dictator is competent (Singapore, for example). But authoritarian rule is so easily fucked over by idiots in power (because it's arbitrary who becomes the ruler) and so something like Spain with the Habsburgs can happen (seriously, Charles II of Spain. That fucking family shrub.)

The approach was that after some 200 hours of CK2, I got tired of the same music. And I got tired of the same music playing everywhere.. With virtually no flavor to any cultures or religions. Except for the occasional song DLC's that added like 4 songs.. There was almost nothing else.

So I started adding more music for Scandinavians, East Slavs, West Slavs, South Slavs, Germans, Saxons... And whatever, the list goes on. There's music for all kinds of cultures and religions.

There are 2 songs from LOTR in the entire mod. The mod has 490 songs atm.. So you figure. Most of the music is medieval, traditional, folk, orchestral. There is NO metal.

Ican't give you a sample of a mod that contains 400+ songs. It's 1.77 gb not 50 gb. Download and enjoy

Liberalism didn't change. No capitalist is going to say "no, keep these low wage labourers who we don't have to live with anyway out".

I assumed socialism was different, that they'd strive to protect the domestic workers, but they support immigration for the even mofe imbecilic reason of "we're all human". So both systems abuse the workers, one through flagrant misregard and the other through unpragmatic nearsighted idealism.

That's how I became a national socialist. Not only does it offer the protection of the working class that I crave but the strong state enforces a strong legal system, justice and prosperity. Libertarianism, whilst framing itself as protecting the people actually does the opposite as the financial poweris used by the rich as a means of control over the poor. Syndicalism is also a good alternative, though due to internationalist and humanitarian leanings it will never be able to compete, it defies the tribalist nature inherent in human biology.

Humans in general are quite incompetent at self management, unfortunately. Hence collapse of democracy into authoritarian rule, mass lynchings, genocide.

CK2 could really use a mechanic that facilitates the destruction of rump states and prevents the AI from creating exclaves everywhere.

EU3 is essentially inferior to EU4 in most ways at this point. It handles technology and basically everything to do with mana more naturally, surely, and has the psuedo-HRE Japan that EU4 left out for reasons incomprehensible, but it's really the same thing. If you're tired of EU4 you won't have too much fun with EU3 especially if you're not a veteran of it already. It lacks a lot of quality of life things too, like the build view.
CK2 is essentially not the same type of game, it's a roleplaying strategy game more than a normal grand strategy game.

We’ve not only made the effort to reduce these pauses significantly but also to improve the speed of the game generally. This has been hugely successful.
With 2.6, late-game autosaves are in our tests over twice as quick as they used to be, while the year-end lag is now barely more noticeable than the month-end lag, which has also been reduced significantly.
General, daily performance is also significantly faster; the individual days take less time to process.
Overall, in our tests, the game will get 30-50% further in the same period of time. Thus, in the time 10 years would take on speed 5 in 2.5.2, you’ll now most likely get 13-15 years into the game, and with far smaller annoying pauses.

Literally the most fucking idiotic thing I've ever seen and I'm Korean.

Koreans get butthurt about Korea never really being a major nation (unlike China and Japan). Would it be nice for one's home country to be great? Yes. Does it justify delusions and stupidity? No.

If a Korean ever says some dumb bullshit like "Hwan Empire" or "Confucius was Korean," either they're baiting or they're braindead and ought to be put out of the gene pool. Or both, but that's a given.

Well, basically, a computer game with perfect information is ill-suited to be a medieval simulator in the first place because the entire point of vassals is to manage distant holdings because news took days to travel back then and running a large centralized state was simply not possible. This means that in CK2 vassals seem largely like petty assholes that you have to placate because the game arbitrarily caps how much land you can own yourself.

Because it would both be insanely difficult to program and implement and because it would go against the way paradox makes games you obviously couldn't have a redesign of CK2 where information doesn't travel at lightspeed, but making frontier areas and exclaves harder to hold would be a good way to somewhat represent this. Like making it more likely that you'll lose control of them, especially if you let raiders continually harass them, they're a long distance from the capital, aren't de jure part of any titles you hold, are a different culture/religion, the terrain is inaccessible, the ruler doesn't like you or is ambitious. The French lost Charlemagne's Spanish March because they didn't send them relief against Arab raiders and forgot to invite their delegates to processions in Paris, for example.

As for how you'd deal with Byzzie blobbing into the Balkans/south Italy just have the AI prioritize establishing vassal relationships with considerable autonomy and alliance pacts, which is what blurple actually historically did with Georgia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and whatever Armenian rump was trying to not get conquered in the east. Or you could just make the player unable to hold down occupied territory forever without sustained military presence.

You only need to remove Imperial Japan anyway, so it's just two substate CBs worth 22BB. Hell, it only sets a country flag so just steal Kyoto off of Japan after it gets unified and you still get cores.

Just acquire substates (lowish infamy cost) on Imperial Japan and the southern daimyos that are close to westernizing. Then eat the shogunate. You can space it out between 1836 to 1860, which is plenty of infamy breathing room.

It's a combination of human psychology and Korea's shitty history.

In countries with higher rates of crime and poverty, human females tend to prefer more masculine, aggressive, and physically strong males. This is due to the desire to remain safe.

In countries with lower crime and more wealth, human females gravitate towards less masculine males as those tend to be more faithful, less likely to leave at random, and stay for the raising of offspring.

At least that's what I recall. Might want to cross check that.

Anyways, Korea is a nation with a higher standard of living (top 15 GDP in the world, I think?) so, if the above applies, the women will prefer less masculine males. Example: young Justin Bieber (as was mentioned before). You'll note that a great deal of Kpop fans (Jpop and Cpop, for my purposes, are derivatives of Kpop) are females outside of Korea (China, Japan, the USA, etc.) in nations with high standards of living.

As for Korean history and the nation's predilection towards plastic surgery, up until about 30-40 years ago, South Korea had a GDP lower than most African nations (lower than Kenya after the Korean War). Thus, there is a national culture of flaunting wealth and desiring to be beautiful as parents, seeking validation for their troubled childhoods and the perfection they never achieved in their youth, encourage the youth to seek out physical "perfection" at any cost. More or less.

>>151173446
Asians can grow facial hair. It just tends to be whispier than that of people west of the Gobi.
(I assume you are referring to East Asians. Indians, India being part of Asia, and Middle Easterners, the Middle East being also part of Asia, have beards entrenched in their cultures).

Also, average male height for South Korea is equivalent to that of Spain and Portugal. Height seems to correlate with geographic position relative to the equator, perhaps?

>>
>>151174959
Height is partially related to genetics which might have some partial link to latitude, but it's almost entirely just nutrition. South Korea, Spain and Portugal were all incredibly poor after WWII until gradually modernizing their economies over the last 40 years.

Savoy and Tuscany have ideas like that too iirc.

>>151175237
I imagine it has to do with agriculture.
Warmer climates get to grow better crops in general, rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, those kind of super crops that return insane amounts of calories per acre. They can grow luxuries like nuts and citrus too.
People in colder climates depend more on meat, I expect.

>>151175237

I'm not quite sure. But a cursory glance shows that people around the equator (Cambodia:160.3 cm, Iraq: 165.4 cm, Chile: 169.2 cm) tend to be shorter than northerners (Czech Republic: 178.3 cm, Russia:175.0 cm, Italy: 173.2 cm).

Even among Europe, you'll note Italy is at 173.2 cm while the Netherlands is at 181. In Africa, Nigeria is at 165 while Tunisia is at 170.3 and Morocco is at 170.7.

What appears more striking is that the Khampas of Tibet (very mountainous, very cold) are, on average, 180 cm tall. There is the point about Russian standard of living being lower than most nations yet Russians being quite tall.

So it seems like climate plays a role in height determination, given enough nutrition to grow to full extent.

>>151175413
But, yes, ultimately, moreso than latitude, nutrition is a massive part of height. North Korea, which shares the same ethnic group as South Korea and is more northernly (thus, by logic, should be taller), has an average height 7.2 cm lower than its southern counterpart.

Perhaps colder climes inhibit growth (more height->more surface area->more heat loss) and the removal of that as a factor spurs greater growth? I figure someone else can articulate the notion better than I can but it's an intriguing thing to ponder, is it not?

If this is true which I believe it is, it has to do with keeping heat inside the body as larger animals cannot as efficiently remove heat from their body as smaller animals. It's a matter of surface area to volume ratio.

Colder climates lead to taller, smarter, and more advanced people/animals because to survive in them requires better adaptibility and higher intelligence, more strength, etc

White people being better than niggers isn't inherently because of skin color but the environment that caused them to develop that way.

Altitude and height don't really have anything to do with each other, and nutrition only matters in the sense that a malnourished population or one that eats mostly protein-poor food like rice will not reach full height. It's really just genetics.
People from the Caucasus or mountain ranges like the Pyrenees/Appenines are not really taller than those in the lowlands surrounding them. Nor are people from places like Nepal/Tibet/Northern India/Xinjiang.

The Dinaric Alps have actually never seen much conflicts until recently because the whole area was impoverished and vulnerable to drought and food shortages and tribalistic as fuck in general. There was nothing of value there for either Austria or Turkey so they mostly just left them alone unless the tribes were getting uppity and starting shit, most especially Montenegrin tribes (which significantly contributed to the Western conception that South Slavs and especially Serbs are uncivilized savages). Like this:

>In 1842, Njegoš and Ali Pasha met at a Dubrovnik palace to negotiate peace. The two eventually reached an agreement, which was signed before representatives of Austria and Russia. As Njegoš and Ali Pasha emerged from the palace, Ali Pasha produced a bag full of gold coins and tossed them into the air, prompting the Montenegrin delegation—which included several chiefs—to scramble after as many as possible. Through this action, Ali Pasha effectively demonstrated Montenegro's poverty before the Austrians and Russians, embarrassing Njegoš in the process.

No problem. I did a Greece game and wanted to see what would happen when I eradicated a bunch of turks. Unsurprisingly, the entire country basically collapsed.

believe it or not the chinese are actually siberian peoples that invaded from the north and pushed the south-east asians out of china proper during their colonization
the south-east asians would go on to push out the aboriginals and indians that were inhabiting south east asia at that time, I believe a lot also fled to japan which was kind of a melting pot of northern asians and southern asians

So in reality the chinese are the TRUE masterrace, this is reflected in their IQ scores and in that they were for most of common history the most advanced civilization and in that they will soon be the largest economy in the world

It's less SJW as it's an argument grounded in pathos (emotional ties to one's own ethnic/national identity) rather than anything empirical.

The claim that white, northern Europeans (let's not call them Caucasians because that triggers Russians so much) are inherently better is grounded in the last 300-500 years of the thousands of years of human history. While I grant that European technology, innovation, and work ethic were superior in most aspects to the rest of the world (it would take a huge helping of ignorance and delusions to claim otherwise), it's worth noting that, for over a thousand years after the fall of the Roman Empire, European technology and culture were, by comparison to the Romans a millenium earlier, terribly backwards. That wasn't so much of a population problem as they were just behind in culture and technology.

As with the superior physical prowess, didn't we have that whole discussion when Jesse Owens took the gold over Germany's best?

>>151179085

The fuck are you talking about? We're big and strong for an animal (like top 80%) and we have remarkable endurance. We can also digest a large range of things. Intelligence is icing on the cake, but we didn't make much use of it until pretty recently.

A human with a shotgun can kill pretty much any land animal but a human infant can't walk until several months after birth. In contrast, a deer can start jumping around minutes after birth.

The brain is a major factor in this. It takes up a huge amount of energy compared to the rest of the body and forces birth while the infant is underdeveloped (compared to other species' offspring). Of course, it's part of why humans are the dominant species.

So yes, intelligence is something that takes grooming and care but pays off in the end. Which is why evolution doesn't favor it (advantages earlier in life allow for a higher chance to survive and breed).

The human infant is one of the least capable/most likely to die in all of the animal kingdom. Pretty much every species' offspring can at least stand up and walk/slither/waddle within an hour of birth/hatching. Human babies can't do it until months after being born.

The appropriate correction to that is that the various Chinese dynasties were a major influence on the entire Eastern side of the Old World (language, trade, etc.) In terms of economics and military, the Romans were the only ones who could legitimately hold a candle to them.

They were not feudal in the European sense but their system was not centralized like later absolute monarchies were.

As for inventions, they invented many, many things. Things that the west went ahead and used/improved on (compass was used, gunpowder was improved to create superior firearms and artillery) to eventually dominate the world.

Persia never really had as dominant of an impact as the Romans or Chinese did in their sphere of influence.

Persians got wiped because the Arabs killed them off and aggressively melded or discarded the culture.

It's more the fault of the cervix being unable to pass through such a large skull that forces us out of the womb so undeveloped rather than any particular property of the brain, other than size.

Now it's hard to tell why one solution is chosen with Natural Selection because it's part chance part bio-mechanical realities, but the roll of the dice we got is we are prematurely ejected to continue an equivalent to prenatal growth briefly outside the womb rather than it being accommodated by larger hips.

It could very well be that it's physically impossible for large enough hips, but actually figuring something like that out is borderline impossible and it's not really a hot topic for research.

Nat. Selection basically works by saying "dude fuck you" to inefficient semirandom changes. If you're already incredibly close to the top there's very little difference. A change that makes 2% as opposed to 1% survive is huge, but one that makes 99% as opposed to 98% is much less huge.

Dynamic province capture. Many wars in history were not clearly defined, and instead the result of constant raids or skirmishes across a long period of time. (Think Russian conquest of Asia or the American frontier, or the Ottoman/Austrian border, or the Crusader states and their shifting borders. Or the mongols. )

Having wars with an exact start and finish date and exact goals is a bit weird. Especially in ck2.

Also mufuggin pops and more pop control.
