Amount of reserves depends entirely on how many units you have available.
You might wanna garrison the border with 3-4 units so if you have full 5 unit corps then leave 2 on the back ready to respond to places that look weak. If you don't have that many units then you must instead of using reserves just abandon/partially abandon the province while you regain organization. This is the style you will have to use with Russia, falling back to the next defense position and then the next and then the next until the enemy is too overextended to fight.

Doctrines are super important here since they give big bonuses to organization.

AI is up to you, use as much as you see fit. Obviously the optimal strategy is to run at speed 1 and pause regularly and manually control all units but that's probably not desirable. On the other end is automating all units at theather level and using max speed which requires least attention but gives worst results. There is a happy medium in there. For example with France you might want to automate your navy and maybe the border against Italy and focus your attention on the air force and the norther border.

About the troops, remember that each unit you produce is cheaper and faster to produce than the one before it. This means that what ever comps you choose you should stick with them because twice as big of an army of one or two basic types will beat an army that has every possible unit mixed in. That being said there is a time and place for tanks and specialist divisions but build them with purpose.

Also if you ever use tanks get the tank doctrine that reduces their combat widt by 1, it's the best doctrine in the game.

I think this is also where I fuck up. So should I just set a run of like 20 grunt infantry units with 4xINF and 1xART as my bread and butter? (and I guess AT too)


Because at the start of the game I did a serial run of like 8 units and by the time I was done with that I started making tanks and mot divisions which isn't advised from what you're saying.

>all this good advice on /gsg/

I'm gonna restart with this info and post back.

Lads, should I go gommie for full memes?

>>158669989
exactly you should pick a mass produced combo and just have that on repeat till basically infinity. Every time one completes the next one is cheaper and takes less time. And what I mean by this say infantry takes 10 IC/month and 10 months, the next one might be 9 IC/month and 9 months and the repeat after that 8 IC/month and 8 months. You can see how it starts to make a huge difference since not only you get "more" IC to spend right now on other stuff but your stuff also takes less time to make. Numbers I pulled out of my ass obviously but you can see the modifiers in game if you are interested.

Against germans you want some hard attack too so have individual AT regiments in training too which you can attach here and there.

Is this only when producing serially or does it work that way for parralel you produce after the first one's done?
>>
>>158670597
any production takes the current practicals when ti starts producing so if you complete units mid way it doesn't shorten the production of the rest but it will apply to all new units you schedule.

Going tall is interesting.
I once played an entire game of EU4 as Frankfurt, without getting ANY provinces. I force-vassalized and fed other countries, mainly Mainz, Hesse and Trier. By the end my 'empire' had about 20 provinces and Frankfurt itself was at 110 development but at that point it was about 600 to increase further.

Rising to power is the most fun part, once you have a solid powerbase (your own kingdom) then just fight a bunch of massive wars I suppose. Some people like to spread their dynasty a lot or sponsor holy orders to make them grow. Go for hard battles like toppling the entire HRE/Byzantines by yourself as a minor kingdom.

>>158668329
Since there's Sengoku Rance mentioned in the OP, I guess it's OK to ask this here too:

What's the "best" offensive skill in Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX?

I'm not sure exactly if I understand how the top tier ones work.

>Puissance =
works the same as all other "Divine" skills, except they're all rolled into one (so if you're using spears, it's the same as having Divine Spears, if your officer is in a Siege Troop then Puissance works as Divine Forge, etc.)
>&
this means that whenever you use a [Tactic] attack, it is a critical hit => so even if you have a troop of 1 Spearman, and your officer has 1/1/1/1/1 skills, this one spearmen can permastun a 10,000 army of Lu Bu as long as you have Will for Tactics.

Is that correct?

Is there anywhere explained what "critical hits" do for each tactics by the way? Because the only thing I know about really is that Spearman Rush confuses on a critical hit. Are critical hits from Divine skills still affected by your WAR / ATK etc?

>God's Command / Flying General =
these are merely skills, so unlike Divine* stuff they only work when you have a higher WAR (or specifically ATK) rating than the enemy, so Guan Yu cannot actually permastun Lu Bu (because Lu Bu's WAR is 100) with Spear Rush whereas even a 1 man troop with Divine Spear/Divine Right/Puissance could. So, in general "vs weak unit" -> always applies X when used against a unit with less overall ATK (so a wounded Lu Bu can be affected by God's Command even though he has higher WAR)?

The tradeoff compared to Puissance being that GC not only works with Tactics but also with land regular attack (it's also Exterminate) and Flying General is also Fleetness.

And one more question then would be

how does Stampede (Cavalry tactics attacks cause confuse "vs weak unit") interact with:
a) Divine Cavalry / Puissance?
b) God's Command / Flying General?

I'm fairly certain that Stampede will always trigger whenever b) triggers as well.
>>
>>158676481
I have played HoI2, EU3, EU4, Vicky 2, and CK2 for several hundred hours each and EU4 is by far the most challenging game for me. Vicky 2 is trivially easy. I'll never understand you people and your memes, how many of you actually play these games?
>>
>>158677020
>play meme game get memed on
>>
did anyone else unironically get a virus from these shit ads without even clicking them
>>
>>158677017
But if a) triggers always on tactics, no matter what, does that mean that Stampede also always triggers no matter what? (So you can permanently confuse with Cavalry too)..

And finally, one more cavalry related issue:

It is said that the "White Riders" enabled Horsebows are stronger / get stronger once you actually research Horsebows. Is that true? How?
Furthermore, is there any difference between the Attack power of a Cavalry unit using the Horsebows ranged attack and the same cavalry unit NOT using its ranged attack (which they do automatically for some reason - even if you have Horsebows, they will still use melee if you Attack from meelee range - sounds to me like it would be preferably to choose ranged attack even from melee range just like regular Crossbow units can do)?

Don't bother with "vanilla" DH and get the Kaiserreich mod. Don't get me wrong, I love DH even without mods but its just a clunkier less complex version of HoI3. The point about HoI2/DH was its modability (and better event mechanics compared to HoI3) and with Kaiserreich you have a complete new and fresh experience compared to the same old WW2 scenarios in vanilla DH and HoI3.

Kinda - it effectively allows you to focus 16 mana each month instead of 2. Considering a monarch generates 0-18 mana per year, there's a huge effect on resource management.

However... I always found the mana system poorly implemented. The idea is interesting, but the implementation is crap - you'll always end overflowing with MIL and starved of ADM, sometimes DIP; this scarcity alone makes certain mechanics like culture conversion obsolete, and people only use development on the beginning (to spread certain institutions faster).

If anything, maybe limiting it to 50/year?

How do you guys usually distribute lands and titles in CK2?

Do you give a out a whole duchy or do you fill it with counts?

Do you give kingdom titles to your vassals?

NEVER give titles to priests. It depends, if you can get away with it make your realm as decentralized as possible. Less hierarchy = more taxes and levies going to you. Although decentralization can lead to instability.

Can I get some help on where to go from here in CK2?

So I started as a Duke in HRE. I want to form the German Kingdom so I need independence.

I have about 10 holdings directly under me, all Duchy and Countys.

Anyways, I need a high stewardship for that, and im having all those holdings because I figured it would be the best for a big army.

But everytime I die, it gets split up rather badly across my family, hurting my big army, and I cant EVER seem to get enough plot power to kill my inheriting family members.

So what do I do from here? My army makes up about 50% of the entire HRE, and I want independence as I have enough holdings for a Kingdom, but WHAT do I do?

I feel like im kinda just stuck.

I also cant expand because no one wants to lower crown rule so I cant go after other HRE dukes right now.

>>
>>158694272
Blob harder before they spawn or make sure your entire demense is booming (60% faster levy replenishment helps a lot) and do whatever you can to weaken the Mongols before they hit you. This means joining the wars of anyone they declare against, rushing in with all your troops to dent their numbers, wait for your demense to replenish and repeat.

Also, the invasion events are fucking retarded and broken because Paradox can't balance their games at all.

I'm fine with the initial landing in this particular game, they actually made me worry a little bit.
It was when they converted, and then 155+ years later still have over half of their event troops. They have taken no significant amount of land since they've done that, just joined any war the Byzzies enter into.
Didn't the event troops despawn in an earlier version after some period of time?

I suppose you're right, from what I can remember back in the day they used to fall apart really fast (depending how many assassinations the player was involved in) or blob consistently (typically all of Russia and some of Poland) before falling apart.

I think what changed it is the new nomadic system - back in the day they just spammed the invasion CB which made them gobble kingdom after kingdom in one piece while leaving the non-Mongol vassals intact so they could rebel later, but now they're limited by things like population and the new nomad CBs so they only chop at some duchies here and there.

They do fall apart but the issue is that they fall apart in really nonsensical ways, they lose counties scattered all over the place instead of losing large connected areas at once.

Disabling horse lords will make them tribal and not feudal as they used to be, the old CBs they used were tied to their culture AFAIK, I think that disabling horse lords will just turn them into blobbing tribals instead, with extra spicy gavelkind memes.

I don't know of any mods that fix it though.
>>
>>158697807
Get a ruler with higher administration and stop blobbing so face, overextension is a result of a too high ratio of non-cored to cored provinces.

I honestly wouldn't really mind gavelkind being forced on tribals and the lot if there was some sense to it, by letting you decide how the land was to be split up. If you have two sons and two duchies each with four counties, it'd be great if your heir would get to keep your primary duchy and the four holdings within while the other son gets the other half, but no, it has to be B0R3RG0R3 40R3V3R

You install HIP without Lindbrook's Textures, right?
>>
>>158698431
The key is to focus on the ottoman lands in continental Europe, they will just sent troops over Constantinople without taking it. Once you manage to draw all the Ottomans into Europe, it's relatively easy for the combined forces of Hungary, Bosnia, and Byzantium to defeat the turk armies and then walk into turkey unchallenged.

Someone said I should play as the Gommie Soviets in Kaiserreich so I will, I'll finish my USA AAR later if anyone was still paying attention to it.

The fucker who made the Kaiserreich Expanded Techtree mod changed the USA's colour to a shitty puke green, turned Japan from the GOAT yellow to shitty rust, and made the Princely Federation fucking Byzantine Purple. He also gave parts of Mittelafrika directly to Germany, defeating the whole point. Also his Yugoslavian flag is blue, red, and green for whatever fucking reason. 0/10 would not play baka.

Gonna railroad this until we become filthy, disgusting. left wing leaning parasitic Communists because every time invariably I was end up full National Populist Tsar Wrangel
If I'm slow to update it's because a dog nipped my wrist and it hurts to type

This century has been nothing but an embarrassment for us. 1904 saw the loss of Manchuria and the last shred of our dignity and respect on the global stage gone. The next year saw the doomed first revolution and our first step towards a constitution. The revolutions of 1917 saw peace with Germany and the establishment of the Russian Republic and creation of Soviet Russia. The treaty of Brest-Livotsk ceded our western provinces to Germany, who created puppet kingdoms under the Hohenzollern and Habsburg dynasties.The German intervention of 1920 was the nail in the coffin of our great Empire and saw the Cossacks forming their own independent state while Japan established a puppet nation of White Russians in the far east. The bitter fighting led to the publishing of the incomplete memoirs of a young German corporal, Adolf Hitler. His novel "Unser Kampf" only furthered the issue Baltic German nationalism after Adolf Friedrich von Mecklemburg was crowned Grand Duke of the Baltic Duchy.

Every year our nation is forced to pay exorbitant fees to Germany in reparations for the two wars started by Berlin. Emotions are running high and opinions of Kerensky are at an all time low. The winds of change are blowing throughout Russia.

In the early morning of January 7th Alexander Kerensky was shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The gunman stepped forward from the crowd while Kerensky was driving in an open top car and fired six shots from a Mauser C96, striking Kerensky in the abdomen. Despite immediate aid and being rushed to the hospital Kerensky.

In the immediate session of the Duma that followed the Social Revolutionary-Menshevik coalition usurped control of the government. A ruling senate of high ranking party officials has taken over day-to-day ruling of the nation, while Iraklij Tsereteliy has become the public face of the regime.

The senate cannot rule effectively for long before falling to infighting. A Prime Minister is desperately needed to bring leadership and calm to the turbulent aftermath of Kerensky's death.
After much discussion, the Senate appoints:

Pick one, /gsg/:
>Stay with the Mensheviks, Iraklij Tsereteliy
>Compromise, the Liberal Pavel Milyukov
>These are extreme times and we need a shot of Bolshevism, Nikolai Bukharin!

A stipulation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty was the redistribution of the land. As the economy worsened and crops failed the programme was halted by the old government in an attempt to increase productivity. In actuality the halting of the programme only served to compound the issue and draw the ire of the peasants.

The first policy to be tackled by the Bolshevik regime is the restructuring of the land system. The first option is to work with the local autonomous village communes who have taken over organization of the fields. The second option is to work with the local elites - the Zemstva system. The third and final option is to centralize organization of the fields to the central government and place its control under the party.

What do, /gsg/:

A general strike has broken out across the industrial centres of our nation. The strikers call for increased workers rights, economic change, and social policies in support of the working man.
As the government of the worker, it is only natural that we would reach a full agreement.

I've got back into Hearts of Iron: Darkest Hour recently (more specifically the Kaisserreich mod), but I've also been watching people play HoI IV which makes DH feels a little tacky and lacking some nice features. However, my laptop might be too shit for HoI IV and also I'm not sure if I can splash that much money out just yet.
Is Hearts of Iron 3 any good as a middle ground, or should I just stick with DH? I'm pretty casual and kinda shit at grand strategy anyway, so I don't need it to be absolutely perfect.

When settings conditions for a building to be built in CK2, can you only use province scopes? That's what the wiki seems to suggest, but if someone knows otherwise that'd be great.

I'm adding some buildings to the game and what I currently had in mind was a slave trading hub for tribals and possibly nomads/Muslims, but mainly tribals to give them another source of income early in the game.

I want the requirement to build one to be that the owner of the province has at least X number of prisoners, which can't be done if it only allows for checking for province conditions.

They deserve to have a strong position, as was the case historically. The problem often is that the AI doesn't have to foresight a human would have to work together against the Ottomans. If the Kebab gets rolling, it will often take 2 or 3 other Great Powers to try and fight them, but if countries like Poland or Lithiuania doesn't rival them, it can be very hard to find allies against them. A human playing would obviously recognize the danger the Ottos pose, but the AI can't in the same way. Some mechanic or numbers determine that they don't rival them, even if the are bordering a huge, expansionist, muslim and highly aggressive power. I've had numerous games where a very strong Lithuania or Poland are more concerned about fucking France on the other side of Europe than the Kebab massing on their borders.

And England didn't spend a century's worth of manpower fighting off berbers for Portugal in the maghreb desert, yet here we are.

you will get the "wrong liege" penalty, reducing your relationship with him by 20 or 25.
clergy tends to make more money than feudal lords, but bring less troops.
unlike merchant republics, it's not worth the trouble.

Wew, finally hit the prestige requirement just as the black death started to roll around
>>
>>158740992
it could be, for the sole reason that land you give to the clergy can't be inherited by some feudal lord when another inevitably marries his heir daughter to him. slows down their accumulation of power in that way
>>
>>158741201
so you want to create an environment with only clergy vassals to avoid succession trouble?

might aswell go for high crown authority then. in addition to preventing this (and having the exact same relationship penalty), it also gives you bonuses.

>>158741767
Actually from my exploitation of mechanics I've found that handing the titles out as barony->duchy->de jure counties lets you create as many duchy republics/theocracies as you want.

You can also turn heretical, then make them and release them one by one using non-heretical courtiers before converting back and vassalising them again.

They just bypass the forts and occupy everything else
And taking a fort gives way more warscore
>>
>>158742102
they are just a mechanic to protect the human player from accruing too much war exhaustion in a sort time.

the only way forts can have a stragetic use to the human player is to make an entire line of them accross a border, but most of the time this isn't affordable.

If Zone of control actually worked properly you'd only need them dotted around the place but AI just fucking ignores the pathfinding when it feels like it.
>>
>>158742314
If you want to have some fun with broken forts, try attacking the ottomans when they've had some time to build forts. They'll have a fort in edirne, selanik and in constantinople. Coming from bulgaria, you can walk into any of these forts. If you siege the fort in edirne, however, you can no longer walk into edirne. Also, if you try to merge armies there, they'll get stuck in the province until you win another siege.
>>
>>158742510
like with fog of war, ai merely pretends that it is affected by zones of control. the second it would get a significant stragetic advantage from ignoring them, it will do so.

Should is such a powerful word

You do get a relationship penalty with them which makes them little less desirable than feudals, on the levies/cash they are between feudals and merchant republics which isn't quite what you usually want.

On the plus side with the Hospitals being in the game you can stack pretty good temple vassal opinion modifiers which can entirely counteract and even go ever the different government opinion penalty. Also I find temple vassals less likely to attack their neighbours and lastly without them you of course have less of a chance of getting yourself a pope since having land grants them extra points in the cardinal race.

I would say they probably aren't worth it in the powergamer perspective but they can be valuable asset to you team if you like to RP a little bit more, I like to make one or two in every game in addition to one or two merchant republics and keep the rest feudal.

Mechanics question guise.
It's only a start of the game so starting borders are mostly unchanged.
Playing as ottomans I have Georgia as a vassal. I'm occupying Khundzia and Shirvan from their respective owners. Both of those are adjacent to Georgian province. Yet I cannot demand to cede Shirvan to me (reason is "you can't make a core here"), for that I have to first get Khundzia.
I've tried playing around for a bit, canceling vassalization, returning cores etc, to no avail.
I don't understand why I can get one province but not the other. In what way those two are different ? Please explain.

It's one of the oldest gs games, together with RoTK. Plays a bit like the CK/Sengoku, but with more depth (for example, armies have to carry their own food).

In NA you can also play the battles on tactical map, just like in the Total War series, but you should always remember that battles are in real time, so doing that makes you blind to what happens during the game at large.

No your typical consumer who doesn't think about their actions drove the rating up. I don't know why but Paradox attracts so many of these people. My theory is, is that because of the autistic nature of the games they attract people who are naive and or lack self awareness.

The test is shit, I agree, but the concept of politics as being two-dimensional is more interesting and useful than unidimensional politics. You can easily see the similarities between Hitler and Roosevelt at the economics and Hitler and Stalin at politics.
