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/?

Is there any way to download Reaper's Due separately, without downloading the other DLCs I already have (In that Rezmar link)?
>>
>>153921260
Old Gods Khazaria. I ended up with 66% of my court being Azhkenazi due to Feudal Christians expelling the Jewry so I figured I might as well convert culture once I'm not Nomadic anymore.
Keeping Altaic raiding would've been more useful, but eh.
>>
>>153922763
Probably not. When a new DLC comes out everybody uploads the whole game. The best you can get is the DLCs only link from Rezmar. Anyway the game is pretty small, even with very shit internet it shouldn't take more than an hour to download it.

It's a prosperity event. You NEED lvl3 prosperity and crown focus on a province to trigger it.

>>153926708
Building castles, ever, anywhere, is a mistake if you have LoR enabled. Yes even the discount event one. Owning baronies is only good if you are a count or a duke in an area where conquest is near impossible. There really are very few such areas.

>>153928076
Nothing, I'm just abusing the system by having my kingdom be fully tax-oriented while dumping the excess gold into the mercenaries I own so they become big enough that no one (except me) buys them. You end up with a doomstack fully at your disposal but with no vassal levies, so you're pretty much fucked if you enter a war without gold.
Pic rel, look at my gold in both pictures. The total this stack has costed me so far over all the wars is well above 20k

The good thing is, if you learn to manage your gold and time the wars, you pretty much win the game.

this would be slightly more tolerable if vicky's ai decision-making was better. you would expect that germany wouldn't care that ottomans want to conquer a small patch of desert in syria, but oh boy you would be mistaken.
not simply they will care, they will fucking mobilize and send over 200 thousand troops from berlin to fucking syria and zerg rush cairo, while sending their only 10 battleships to blockade your coast.

what? 80 thousand men died from attrition and battles? who fucking cares, ottomans got to conquer syria! it's worth it right?

my butthurt rant aside, the oriental crisis event is all proof needed for what i just said. historically, the war ended with only 1 major battle happening between egypt and ottomans at nezib, with the rest of european powers mostly doing power projection and fleet deployments. but in vicky expect russia to mobilize and send over 40 thousand men all the way down the ottoman empire to fight 30 thousand men from an also mobilized france that shipped troops all the way to egypt.

BULLSHIT.

As soon as you get State and Government you take the close the borders decision, then you become a semi-constitutional monarchy just so you can change the upper house law to make it easier to get social reforms later on.

If you become a constitutional monarchy your borders will open up again so try to avoid or delay that by not taking that decision.

i've tried this before anon, not sure if you should do this.
maybe it was my fault, but in addition to me prioritizing med tech, i got some rare event that increases your capital life rating. do you know what happened?

by 1890, my population was doubling every 5 years. by 1900, my population was doubling every 2 years. due to my number 1 rating and my incomprehensibly large population, i would consume 100% of the world market. the economy was broken beyond redemption, all production in the world stopped because of all industries failed (even liquor), while rebels roamed the land. the world eventually become underpopulated.

but not me. i practically became a self sustaining cancer. until i could no longer self sustain. even with all farm output tech, my population demanded 5 times more food than the world production. 80% of my population was unemployed since they reproduced faster than i could build factories.

eventually rebellions broke out. tens of millions of asian rebels killing each other again and again. i thought this would save me, but no, pops were still reproducing faster than soldiers died. ended up ragequitting.

CK2+ for India
HIP if you don't care about India

some things hip has over ck2+ that I noticed:
+more beautiful map, more provinces in Europe
+unreformed pagans can feudalize
+faster access to feudalism for tribals
+tanistry is available for any feudal
+protected council appointments only affect present and future powerful vassals and give a permanent opinion boost for them if they're in the council.
+pledge peace goal: forfeit offensive wars for a levy and opinion boost from all vassals, can break if necessary in exchange for penalties
+now with 2.6.1.1 agnatic is the default gender law for all new vassals you make, from what I understand, which should prevent land loss odds if your vassals don't spawn a male heir.
+quick and genius traits are inheritable in HIP as they are in vanilla, not so in ck2+

Also, with either mod, be sure to mod out the nigger enrichment event for merchant republics that swedecuckdox has introduced (republic_trade_events)

i didn't know what those were going to be when i installed extra events but after the 50th time i got some stupid event about the fact that zoroastrians fuck their sisters i kind of got pissed off, and i don't want to restore the persian empire again.

You're kidding right? Zoro Persia as Karens is pretty damn easy since you get free duchy wars on all of your crumbling neighbors. The strategy is pretty simple
>Wait several months from game start until the Teheran Shah has lost all of his troops to the Saffarids, then declare de-jure war for Dehestan
>Occupy as many counties as possible in the Khorasan Kingdom so that they won't go to Saffarids when they inevitably win
>Afterwards, wait for the Justanids and Bavandids to either go to war or for the Justanids to go to war with one of their neighbors
>Holy war the Bavandids
>Take a loan and hire mercs, holy war the Justanids
After that, you are pretty much set. The only meaningful threat early on are the Saffarids, but they get cucked pretty quickly due to their different religion from their neighbors (Kharijite). The Abbasids shouldn't ever pose a problem since they usually collapse within the first decade or two. It's pretty easy sailing after that. In pic related, I could have expanded more, but I've been limiting myself for RP reasons.

The sons of An-Nasir Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, the Vengeful, finished bringing the true faith to Egypt. In the wake of the death of Sirhan ibn Ayuub, Salah ad-Din's favorite son, Sultan Musa ibn Ayyub, the just, was proclaimed Sultan of Egypt and of all Arabia.
The great khan devastated the steppes and brought a temporary end to the Greek Empire, but the former Emperor, Manuel the second, managed to piece together a rump state and claim the old empire back. The Abbasid Caliphate on the other hand has been tainted by the basque branch of the Abbasids, forgetting the true Arabic and Levantine roots of Baghdad. In Spain, a Seljuk vassals of castillan descent rule, but the infidels push the true believers out of their homeland every day. The Almohad Sultan had his realm is pieces for long, and Allah truly does not favor him.

The time has come for us unite Dar al-Islam and fulfill what the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
"Lataftahanna al-Qustantiniyya wa lani`ma al-amiru amiruha wa lani`ma al-jayshu dhalika al-jaysh."

Under Ayyub rule Alexandria became one of the the leading places for research in the world, only rivaled by the promised city itself. Well kept hospitals and wards treat and research diseases and the Sultanate prospers.

Pick a start you actually want to play as. Duke is probably best bet, no matter as a vassal or independent, cause Kigdoms are hard to manage and counties are easy to lose.Newby Island is nice but it's not end all be all.

Turn on the hints, yes they are annoying patronising and all that, but they are a great cheat sheet.

Find a video of someone playing in roughly the same area (same religion/culture) and imitate them. While you do try to figure why the do this or that, half or more of what they are doing will seem as Insane Troll Logic (C) at first but you'll gradually learn what's what. Do note that not all player habits are good so handle with care, but at first, copy, copy and copy.

Play as Haesteinn of Nantes, he starts with a county in Brittany and he has godly stats. Also, if you are going for a megacampaign, I recommend basing your kingdom around Egypt, if purely because it is far more powerful than the rest of the Middle East once you get to Victoria 2.

I'm new to this gsg shit and I've been playing HoI 4 and EUIV on and off for the past week.

To me HoI despite being more far more difficult seems less complex than EUIV.

It took me 3 days to grasp the mechanics of HoI while I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing in EU.

EU just feels so overwhelming with trade, politics, diplomacy, taxes, estates, building etc...

Should I just stick to HoI until I git gud or what?

Eu4 is in a middle of PDX expansion cicle, as such it has a lot of DLC and is far more finished product than HOI. Downside of that is - Parajews don't incorporate their DLCs togather (they have to keep them modular to sell them separately) and as such there is a lot of mechanics bloat.

Here's a pic of 20k vs a 30k doomstack being baited over a river (without even being in a mountain). I saved right before the battle and tried to repeat the exact same thing in every variation possible - my stack loses in all cases unless I go behind a river, in which it always wins

tl;dr - rivers multiply your soldiers
>>
>>153963084
I played as Israel in CK2 and had to fend off both Jihads and Crusades. Basically you try to have better leaders than them with high martial and possibly traits that give bonuses to terrain for example desert specialization or mountain etc. Try to be the defending side, hop on a mountain or position yourself behind a river. Use holy orders and shit.

done with another map! finding good colors is hard. I hope everyone knows the pictures or at least can figure it out. I feel like labeling anything more would be in bad taste.

I was surprised Japan had no farmlands and that the Kuril Islands was tundra as far south as it is compared to the rest. Also there was a few smaller provinces that were completely different from what was shown on the map which is odd. Like a flat island being mountains instead.

Anyway time to figure out what to do next or wait for an update and fix the rest of my maps

>1) Find a high martial leader with the narrow flank trait
>2) Split your 16k stack into two 8k stacks
>3) Move 8k stack #2 right behind your first stack (but make sure it doesn't cross a river when going back)
>4) Assign narrow flank leader to stack #1, stack all soldiers (should be all heavy/light infantry with some archers) in the middle flank slot and position it in a mountain (or behind a river)
>5) Split all cavalry in your backup stack to side flanks while concentrating archers and infantry in the middle
>6) Assign leaders with flanking traits to side flanks

No attrition, 100% guaranteed bait and you'll pretty much annihilate any army doing this. The more heavy infantry you have, the better this will work so try creating a personal mercenary band and upgrading its infantry to heavy ones

I played about 30 hours of the game DLCless and got a fairly decent grasp of what I was doing, now I'm starting a new game in the Earliest possible year with it all, do I want to put on Reapers Due, Charlemange Story, Way of Life Intrigue/Seduction, or would this be overwhelming for me do you think?

More events/flavor and making the game harder while not going bullshit like Black Ice does.
Also elite units in WiF 2 are well...quite minor?
For instance SS units got 10% more org and bonus in urban terrain but take more casualties and dont benefit from all the upgrades.

HIP and CK2+(which is still not updated for RD to my dismay) are kinda 2 sides of the same coin. Half the code is shared.

Hip's focus is on historical accuracy and peacetime. CK2+ focus is on kicking your ass.

>How much does Conclave ruin it?
See the thing about conclave is that some people like it, I am one of them.

2 main problems cited against it are Coalitions and Consul.

Coalitions were undercooked crap at the release and stayed that way for a lot of time in vanila because change of guard in CK2 team caused a long patchless hiatus. Both overhaul mods had it tweaked quite a while ago to something far more reasonable with devides along religious borders and defense only nature. And you know it was good because the way vanilla works currently is the way the mod's implementation worked before RD. You can also disable them now with no penalties (other than not having them when mongols come knocking)

Consul just makes vassal have more bite and allows you to pick and chose what's important to you when it comes to the authority of the crown, I what they have a say for and what they don't. The complaints with it are mostly limited to " how dare you make the game harder"

Stellaris and HoI is in the expected undercooked state.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/apres-moi-le-deluge/features/aprs-moi-le-dluge-backstory
>>
Are there any real comfortable countries/characters to play in CK2 HIP, 867 start? Preferably something that isn't Catholic, tribal or a merchant republic?

I played as Crete earlier today and it was fine for the first century or so, you're independent and can get some serious development in your holdings but then Byzantium declared war on me for everything I had, at that point I just stopped caring although it was certainly feasible to win that war if I put some effort on it.

I was thinking about playing as another independent Muslim ruler in Algeria or Egypt, where you start with provinces that have 7 holding slots in total which makes it good for a capital. Islam is actually good in HIP so that's even better.

Or perhaps as a Muslim vassal in Cyprus which has more provinces and holdings than Crete, gaining independence early on should be easy but 1/3 of the island is controlled by Byzantium at the start.

Thoughts?

alans were iranian nomads (until they settled during the time frame of ck2), so i wanted to incorporate some persian features and give them a swarthy look

So what happens if I turn my realm Sunni at the whim of the travelling Muslim Healer who you can burn?

I'm an Irish High Chief who controls 6 counties in the year 817 AD. Am I correct in assuming that the results are getting buttfucked as my Religion causes war to seep into every corner of my demesne?

That's the one thing about these games that gets to me. Do none of them come with a scenario where you start with one province/state/etc and just go from there?

That sort of shit appeals to me.

You have to consider that was before the turks moved west as well.

>>153986509
You are kidding, correct? All of them do. Small starts are what most expirienced players prefer. You do realize you can pick any country on the map?

One option you have is greece, it has some cores to recover, some fun decisions to play around with and it's not glory or bust. But there are a lot of other options if you don't like greeks. Just keep to civilized world for your first game.

There's not really any reason to assume that the entire Alan population was replaced with culturally identical Turks. Generally speak, populations stay the same regardless of the ebb and flow of empires.

We don't like Black Ice here? Seems to have a lot of nice flavor events. Really isn't anything else for IV right now.
Surely someone downloaded it from Steam, its the only place you can get it right now.

>>153987301
Black Ice has been reviled for years now. How were you unaware of this?

So I'm relatively new to EU3 and I've tried my hand at understanding everything and I've got all of the Empire building, colonizing, and technology concepts down, but I still don't understand Warfare. I understand it more in CK2, where a lot of the unit types and effects during battle are shown and can be read.
Why, when my 32k with my 5-star King as General attack a 21 Ottoman blob with No General (with equal land tech), does my morale flounder so easily? Is it because the Turks have Military Drill and I do not? Is it because I'm using Landschknecten, who are better on the defense?
It doesn't help that my dice rolls are rarely >7, while the Turks roll 6 - 9 for days. This is an open battle in North Africa, so there's no terrain penalties, but my armies lose several hundred a day while the Turks are losing ~30.

Good tip, thanks. Will have to give a few countries a poke and see.

I should have clarified; I like scenarios where you're at the start of a nation. That sort of setup.

Do they look like turks? I'm just saying they likely interbred.

Turks and muslims tend to have a pretty good advantage when it comes to battles early on. Also your inf/cav/art ratio plays a pretty important role

General opinion is one hell of a drug.

>>153987949
What is a good ratio to build upon? I heard going mostly cav is good, but I still don't get how to read fire/shock/morale, and infantry has more numbers than cav so I've been going roughly 5:2.
We're both 16 land tech, so I have options all around.

They don't really have traits that are typically thought of as Turkish. It seems like you're just kind of making up history to fit your needs, which is fine I guess. But there's not really any reason historically speaking to make them look super swarthy in the 11th century.
