/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

>>158469301
kill yourself. you're the worst shitposter of them all

>>158469301
>>158470137
Reminder that R&I is a severely autistic and obsessed NEET, he seriously needs to seek psychological help of some kind, although preferably he should just be euthanized humanely.

He has been doing this months or years now: prepare /gsg/ threads every day, update them all the time, constantly check the current thread so he can make his own one about 20 posts early and then post the signature reply "Reminder to report and ignore shitposting" which makes no sense since it's an oxymoron.

Just think about it, think about all the effort he's investing in a shitty general that could easily be maintained by just about anyone else, not to mention that pretty much everyone here hates him.

And he does this every day, multiple times a day even. Sometimes he does miss threads, but it's still ridiculously obsessive.

As I'm posting this he probably has already prepared a thread for later today and is anxiously waiting for this thread to reach the bumplimit so he can continue the cycle as always. He's clearly a NEET who probably hasn't done anything worth of any note in months or years, so he can afford to do this 24/7.

What a sad creature. Please put him out of his misery, anyone. No one deserves to live like this.

Hey /gsg/, just got HOI4 to play with a friend and the multiplayer just won't fucking work, I can't join his game and when I host he joins fine but I'm not even recognised as a player in my own game.

Any advice/comment?

>>158470467
Play HoI3

Do you guys ever convert to feudal as a nomad?

>>158470516
Should I take that to mean that HOI4 is unsalvageably broken for multiplayer?

>>158470539
You don't ever need to, even with the nomad nerfs. Besides, nomad gameplay is for the most part more enjoyable than feudal.

>>158470467
oh that's a known bug where the game doesn't work when there are human players in it.

>>158470539
In previous patch - right before converting to eu4.
Now - not so sure.
And your counties not upgrading from tribal automatically really fucked things up.

>>158470584
How were nomads nerfed?

>>158470584
Nomads are too OP still.

>>158470781
Horse archers and light cavalry were nerfed, whereas they were previously unstoppable, pillaging was also nerfed. It used to be repetetive as fuck but it gave a ridiculous amount of gold and tech no matter the state of the holding being pillaged, so even as a backwards nomad you'd outtech even the Byzantines in the only relevant fields.

>>158470845
Sure, but they were beyond broken on release, even worse than trade republics before the trade post limit was introduced.

>>158470539
That would mean not burning everything to the ground and genociding the natives. Why would I want to do that?

At first the Mongols were united and Russia was fractured, later on the opposite was true. Ivan III refused to pay tribute so the Khan gathered up his forces but were defeated by the ruskies and then ambushed by another Khan after he had retreated, after that the horde split up.

So I just got HoI4 of g2a after running 1.0 since release, what's been going on since patch wise?

>>158472354
Nah, it looks like the instigating force was a lord who won't gain any warscore from the fight.

It's the worst fucking thing ever when it happens.

How do I make CK2(HIP) harder. I started as a count in Hungary and ruled the HRE in 2 generations.

>>158472714
I've crushed them six times in the mountains now, causing roughly 25,000 casualties for them but not a single point of warscore still. At this rate they'll be unbeatable because they can siege faster than you can amass warscore to prevent them from force peacing you at 100%

>>158472895
Are you sure there isn't anyone stealing your warscore? There looks like a grey shield in your stack, and I'm blaming that just because there's no way you can't be getting any warscore. I've fought them before and you do get points from battles.

>>158473113
I (personal and vassal levis + 3 holy orders) was the only one participating in those battles, the battle result screen showed 0.0 changed in warscore and the war screen in the bottom right only showed enemy warscore gain from sieges, none gained from battles at all from either side.

>>158472783
Independent Frisia has been fun. Fighting wars against the HRE when they are twice your size is a challenge.

Doesn't matter anyhow, you knew exactly how much AE you'd gain when you made peace treaties and it even tells you who would definitely join a coalition. Fuck off.

The inevitable happened and the Ottomans broke our 200-years old alliance and rivaled me. Now it's my job to curb their power, I will probably start by kicking them out of Egypt, the Levant and then out of Italy. Problem is, we have roughly the same military power, though they have Tunis as an ally, and they are pretty big. Besides the AI has a tendency to shit good generals.

What military idea do I get to fuck with the ottomans? I like offensive but quality also has its appeal.

>>158480092
quantity and offense are the 2 best military ideas.

Defense has it's strong points if you only choose one mil idea or as first mil idea on low budget.

Quality only after Quantity and Offensive are done

>>158480184
It looks good to defend, to have bigger forts and bigger armies, like I was expecting a war of attrition. Not really what I'm looking for.

>>158480675

No such thing as "stack"

Meaning it's no better for you to pick it over any other country,

That being said as a horde you obviously benefit from the cavalry combat ability a ton which would make it better for you than other countries except quality comes with the arty and infantry combat abilities too making every possible army just the 10% stronger regardless of who picks it.

still waiting on HPM to add that Netherlands decision so I can play some Vicky 2

>staying pagan

>>158486142
That's not how trade routes work, they gain value based on the amount of posts and cities and then increase income everywhere across the route based on that. The only bonus to fewer provinces is that there's less competition to build trade posts(can only have one lvl 1/2/3 trade post per 100/200/500 distance)

Before the war started, you should have set tangiers as a province of vital interest in the diplomacy window. Allies taking war goals for themselves is a known problem, though.

I'm using VickyMod, and for some reason Finland doesn't join Scandinavia when it is formed, although I've taken her in my SoI. Is it because it's still Russian puppet? Or because I've started the whole process before Finland was even formed?

>>158502986
What part do you find difficult to handle?

Tech?
Units?
Production?
Attacking?

Trade is only thing that needs automating, especially on big countries might as well. Some smaller ones that might actually run out of money might be bit more careful with the trade and do it manually for the start. Usually money problems solve themselves in a year and then it's all about the resources.

Germany is pretty good start since it has everything to do. It has a lot to take in at once though and the entire war is in your hands which might over stress you as a beginner.

If Germany feels overwhelming though try Sweden and ally yourself to Axis. With them you can participate in the war against Norway and Denmark and then help the push against Soviets in a strategical and more personal way while Germany can hold the line for you just fine.

Sweden is naturally bit more limited than Germany but you can still contribute a sizable land force, and mix in bit of navy game in the baltic and north atlantic and little bit of air game too if you wish.


For production the #1 thing you need to know is that the more you produce one particular thing the cheaper and faster the next things produce so it makes sense to focus on few things instead of trying to build little bit of literally everything. Set your production to production focus at the start, and then before war switch to upgrade and reinforce focuses to bring your troops up to date. After the war has started keep your focus on reinforcements.

As for the actual things you should produce, depending on the country it varies but basically you should dump at least 60% of your IC to land units, more if you intend not to contest the seas much (like say soviets). So something like 70% land, 10% infastructure, 10% Air and 10% navy could be suitable for Germany or Sweden.

Cont from last night.
To recap: Senator Long is elected President and ousted in a coup by General MacArthur. Congress grants MacArthur dictatorial powers as long as needed, MacArthur seeing himself as a champion of the Constitution and a modern day Sulla (without the boy lover)

War rages throughout the globe as the Syndicalists and the Germans have gone to war. French forces march throughout the Lowlands as the bulk of Germany's forces were sent to the far east in the war against the Japanese. At home MacArthur's mandate has been expanded to protect America's borders and to ensure safety from threats abroad. In time those who financed the Civil War will be punished regardless of where they are found, beginning with the Syndicalists in Mexico.
Mexico saw it's chance during the civil war to annex our southern states and already refugees bring tales of the brutality and pillaging going on beyond the frontier. The southern states were rightfully granted to us by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and our great mercy spared Mexico of more territorial loss. This clear violation of the treaty shows Mexico's disregard for any and all morals and MacArthur has decided that the era of Mexican sovereignty must come to an end.

The Mexicans have been annexed and the National Guard patrol the streets of Mexico City.

The Monroe Doctrine in it's simplest forms vows that we will protect all South American states from foreign aggression and ensure their independence. Now, however, we watch as Syndicalists and tyrants are making footholds in the continent.

In Europe the French, English, and Spanish armies have reached the Rhine and are beginning to push beyond it. The Portuguese have nearly been pushed into the sea and the Russian Empire looms over Eastern Europe.

In the far east the Japanese and Fengtian have defeated the Qing and have taken the German port cities while the AoG is on the run. The Bhartiya Commune and the Princely Federation duke it out but the front line is static. The treaty of Jerusalem saw the Ottomans forced out of the middle east and Africa and reduced to Anatolia. The victorious Kurds, Persians, Arabs, and Egyptians have formed a new bloc that may seek expansion, while the fall of Germany may cause a revival in the pan-African movement of Ethiopia.

MacArthur must decide where to focus his resources first.

Well a ton of them went there when it was an independent country. Texas alone was getting more immigrants than the US combined before it got annexed by the US.

The Oriental Peace made me puppet them, and you can't annex puppets in Vicky 2. I might get the event in the scramble for Africa to annex them, but I have no idea.

They aren't sphered by anyone at the beginning so I was able to take the Peloponnese in a quick war in 1838. Once the truce was up in 43, they were in the process of being sphered by the UK, but weren't actually sphered yet. The UK did actually join in on the war of conquest, but the naval AI is retarded and I was able to pick off the small stacks of 12k that the UK funneled into Tunisia every half a year or so.

I think you need to have the capital in Europe to get that event, so you might get it.

Too lazy to go look into the file though, there might very well be a NOT = TUR there because fuck the turk.

I personally think it looks better without one, but when AFPG gets around I could ask him what he thinks and if I should change it
