/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

Based Meneth.

Thanks OP for posting link to my CK2 music mod. I got a new update Im gonna post in the thread in 30 minutes (I swear Ill stop afterwards). There was 3 broken songs that were Turkish playing for the Latins, I dont know how I fucked that up.

Reapers due when.

>>151268429
august 25th

>>151268339
>Germans didn't call the HRE that?
No. Usually just called it the Empire or the Deutscher Nation or whatever IIRC, for much of history.

>>151268464
August 25 when?

Why haven't you joined /gsg/mp friend?

>>151268485
for most of it's history the empire didn't have a formal name, it was just the land of the holy roman emperor that would eventually be called the holy roman empire
after the peace of westphalia the name "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation" was established

>stellaris made me sad, HOI Iv is fun but empty, waiting for mods

Will reapers game rule set and optimization make me want to play CK2 again or am i hyped for no reason

>>151268346
is it compatible with HIP? Also the link in the OP doesn't work

>>151268760
What I want is a good mod to replace HIP.

>>151268803
>replace HIP
But why would you want to do that?

>>151268794
Yes because I removed that version. As I said there were some broken songs that played for the WRONG cultures resulting in very awkward situations.

I'll link the new version in about 20 minutes, it is fixed and it is the last verion/update for a long while as I've fixed everything. And to answer your question, it works 100% with HIP (I made it with HIP). Assuming you mean the SWMH module

>>151268969
HIP is pretty bad. Meneth doesn't do shit anymore, VIET was always shit and SWMH is also shit.

>>151268728
As long as MP is dead, my soul will haunt this place.

>>151268803
I dont want to replace HIP, it gets rid of india and gives me a pretty map. I just want to play past 2.45 without shattered retreat and the gay diplomacy options

>>151269071
Hi meneth

>>151269082
Go back to zumba fag

>>151269114
Shattered retreat is not a HIP mechanic, that is a Paracuck Intercucktive 'feature'

>>151269071
>SWMH is also shit
Completely untrue, and the guy that replaced Meneth is doing as little as possible while keeping it updated, cant criticize that.

>>151269196
I realize that but the new patch lets you turn it off in game rules

>>151269114
SWMH map is fucking shit and nonsensical. You have Libya and the sahara full of habitable provinces while Sinai, Arabia and Iran have random wastelands.
CK2+ also gets rid of India without adding the unnecessary shit SWMH does.

>>151269253
Yes it is. SWMH map is shit and the whole localized names is just the cherry on the shitcake top.
SWMH lacks any fucking direction and it's aesthetically awful.

>>151269375
You don't have to install the localization, you can choose not to install it in the module selection .bat. Besides, the SWMH map is 100000000 times better than the vanilla.

>>151269265
>>151269375
uh lads.... you know there's set up options that let you turn those things off......

>>151269265
Meneth literally said in this thread a while back that the sahara had so many provinces so his mod would "stand out"

>>151269375
>the whole localized names is just the cherry on the shitcake top
You can disable that with the SED ("Speak English, Damn It!") submod that's included in the SWMH installation.

>>151269451
It still uses translated names.

The SWMH map is not better than vanilla.
>random wastelands
>sahara full of provinces
It lack any coherence.

The irrelevant wastelands is just to show that it lacks coherence or direction. Is not like I can turn them off and have the map stop looking disgusting.

You remove india but add all its bloat back by adding useless provinces in the sahara.

Link: https://mega.nz/#!PQgxyACD!bpcXXoWI3Pfu_PJ1_sz5D7wKYO2OStEWr_npgpw0B_w

This is the last update for my mod for a while. I have fixed all typos, all the music playing wrongly and the mod is in a pretty much complete state. The only thing is to add more music, which I have no plans of at the moment. I will answer a few questions below because I'm leaving the thread in a few minutes.

Q: Does it work with HIP/SWMH?
A: Yes, it is made with HIP/SWMH

Q: Does that mean it doesn't work with vanilla?
A: No, it will work with vanilla aswell

Q: Does it work with GOT, TES mods
A: No

Q: How does the music work?
A: It plays depending on your culture group/or culture, and your religion group/or religion

For more details there's a readme. Enjoy and please if you can put it in the OP, I put 4 years in this.

What's the brown in Armenia and Assyria?

Is August Storm for HOI4 broken now?

I've been trying to fix this shitty game with some mods, and my own personal tweaks, and I've managed to get the awful AS World tension somewhat fixed, and make the war in China slightly longer.

But now the Netherlands and Belgium are having peace treaties with Germany upon capitulation.

Is there a setting somewhere in the defines that's causing that or are the wars not merging properly?

There's the Sabaton pack, but it's pretty mediocre.

>>151278629
You're only observing the country, you can turn off fog of war, if you want to see the entire world.

Do EU4 achievements still work with pirate Jewlc? Paradox patched them out once and I haven't tried since.

>>151279078
Yeah they do, but it will show up on your Steam account if that's what you're using, so there's a very small chance that some Valve Police will catch you.

I don't know, I mean all memes aside EU4 is casual as fuck, but has far more replayability than HOI4 even if Paradox make it more annoying with every new dlc.
It's almost like Paradox lucked out with CK2, EU4 and Vicky2 because they just can't develop something that would be interesting for more than one campaign.

>>151281538
I don't watch them, except when I want to learn a game. It's a good indicator though I think whether a game was a success or a failure.

>do they really not understand what makes a game have any replayability.
Paradox doesn't understand basic game design or logic.

Their games AI is extremely weak and is incapable of starting wars on its own or doing things like boosting ideologies, declaring wars, fighting wars, or really managing itself in anyway.

So with this shit AI they decide to design the game around being a sandbox???

And then the resulting product was an unreleasable piece of garbage, so instead of fixing the game in 2 years, they just tried to patch together their blob of failure.

>>151281579

Still more realistic than EU3.

>>151281790
Yes, this is a good point.
I remember reading that they do AI last, after all the game elements are done, because every minor change to gameplay fucks up the AI.
So they probably have to rush the AI development and it ends up really basic and shitty.
Maybe they'll fix it, but I mean after playing two campaigns in HOI4 I just have absolutely no interest in the game. I have no idea what they could do to make it interesting. Just everything about the game is so shitty and boring.

I would be ok with HOI4 if the ai was the only issue, if Paradox would just stop being jews and stop saving all of the flavour events for DLC I would be able to atleast feel slightly immersed.

Things like China AI vs Japan AI resulting in early war ends, and wars going nowhere near how long they went in reality are unforgiveable, because it's not an ai issue, that's a balance issue.

They spent two extra fucking years on this game! Not all of the programmers work on AI, what were the gfx people doing? where are all of the events? why is nothing balanced? why does WW2 not even fucking end without player intervention?

How do you make a game and not test it in observe mode, the games is non-functional, the Allies will never invade Japan, and the Axis will never invade Britain or god forbid the USA.

They couldn't even script that shit in!?!?

All historical things were removed, no memes, because their "fanbase" call it railroading. They have funny little terms like that for everything.

Historical accuracy: railroading.
Making the game simpler: streamlining.
Any mechanic that takes more than one click: micromanagement (bad)

And remember, if a game is bad it can be fixed with quadruple the game's value in DLC. And that's fair.

It doesn't completely test for everything the jews define as "intelligence" nowaday, but it correlates with economic success, so it is a valid test.

Regular game loads up. like the mod isn't installed. When I check the content it shows the mode as activated.

Total war sucks since Shogun 2

>>151289652
>real game like Total War.
>there will never be a Paradox GSG and a CA TW game combined
God. Fucking. Dammit.

I just want a game with good strategy and good tactics.

>>151289954
Really? I haven't seen that before, mind linking to a credible source? I'd rather not have to shift through telegraph and dailymail articles.

>throwing the whites out of Zimbabwe being the right idea
Wait so you believe that countries should be able to deport races? I'm the /pol/tard here?

wtf is this double think? What is your political ideology? I'd like to know so I can develop an intense hatred for it.

nah

A game like that would either be overly complex or over streamlined and you know it.

>>151290102
IQ correlates with dank meme production, so it is a valid test.

>>151290129
> I'm the /pol/tard here?
See, you show yourself for a /pol/tard because you only remember of democracy, human rights and other such things when they play into your thesis, and completely reject them in favour of "utilitarianism" when it would suit you.
> double think
Stop projecting, little duckling.

>>151290087
The number of battles you'd have to fight though holy shit, it would take years to finish a campaign.

>>151290102
Literally just google "iq economic success". Unlike what social sciences would like you to believe this is not controversial at all.

>>151290232
Na, it wouldnt be that hard to make and wouldnt be too complex.

>>151289954
>it correlates with economic success, so it is a valid test
It's a valid test for economic success, then. I'm not so sure economic success and intelligence are perfectly correlated.

>>151289954
the amount of immigrants correlates with economic success as well, that must mean that importing thousand million shitskins is the key to having a smashing economy

>>151290306
I honestly want to know what you identify as though? What exactly is this?

I mean I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your statement that we should deport all the foreign invader Jews out of Germany I'm just wondering what kind of edgy meme you are.

>>151290363
implying it would be bad. imagine how ebin it would be to finally form großgermemium after a year long campaign.

>>151290363
You wouldnt fight them all yourself, the battles would run under the command of your generals based on your tactical orders, but you would have the ability to take manual control if you wanted.

Sort of like Stellaris I guess, except you cant control the ships in Stellaris, but if you could, yeah.

What are the best alt-history scenario mods for Vicky 2? Preferably one with lots of events/decisions

Why did you even bother?

missed out desu.

>>151290689
what kind of gay ass image is that?

>>151290689
wat, it was a joke because you want to deport whites out of Africa, so I pulled a shitty meme on you and compared you to a Nazi.

Now I am /pol/ plz atleast tell me what you're pretending to be for this bait, because this feels like a bad roleplay. I can't even tell what's going on.

Are you pretending to be like a tumblr SJW, or a redditor what is this?

>>151290689
What happened to the ear?

>>151290887
Also the anime images are a nice touch, really got me with those. But you should work on a set of morals when you roleplay, because that tends to make it look more clever in the end when you reveal the bait.

Right now you just look retarded, and made no clever statements so people won't get a good chuckle out of it.
