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/?

I may just be a dumb noob, but I can't understand whats happening in my current CK2 game. Pic related, and here's the background info:
>Be King of Ireland and Mercia
>End up with a queen, she does OK but pisses a lot of people off cause female ruler
>Queen dies, son takes over
>almost immediately, assholes rebel for increased council power; assholes hold most of Mercia
>Can't win on my own, Ally with Pictland
>Pictland helps, start to win
>Pictland switches sides apparently? Now hostile to both
>Rebels have their own rebellion
>Some petty Welsh kingdom also declares war
>Can't find anyone to make peace with. Not that they refuse, I can't even make the offer. Checked the leader of the revolt, checked the Welsh king, checked the Pictish king
What do I do? Is my game bugged?

Also, note my relations; I'm hostile with Pictland twice apparently and also still allied with them somehow.

It's highly important in anything that wants to actually look good, and while you might choose to run it at 30 because you have an actual entry-level gfx card, poor optimization is still poor
Basically the only times it doesn't matter is when 95% of the game is literally static and not animated where the only movement comes from shitty idles nobody ever sees and scrolling, like Civilization or GS games.
>>
>>162231669
>only auto resolves in total war
What is even the point of playing the game at that point? The entire draw of TW is the epik battles, the campaign map is a shoddy 3.5/10 grand strat that basically exists so you don't pull the epik battles out of your ass.

This is retarded
The graphics in genres like open world rpgs or games like TW is literally part of the gameplay and a core appeal of it.
If you can't understand why people might find prettiness in games a good thing I dunno what to say, esp. when the game is not only marketed as such but is built off it. Again, in Witcher 3 one of the biggest appeals is its relative openess. Of course, the art doesn't stand on its own, but it certainly enhances the game's atmosphere.
I mean, why even use graphics at that point? I can easily play RPGs in a goddamn linux terminal or emacs program. At that level FPS is a moot point.

>text based grand strategy games are somehow better than a graphically based one that includes all its features and doesn't sacrifice anything
The only reason powerusers use terminal programs instead of graphical ones is because they're lighter and generally a bit faster, and also because they usually sit in their terminal instead of on their desktop anyway so it's legit faster to get to. Unless you have something against graphics on principle I can't fathom it.

>>162232405
The thing Witcher 3 is praised most for is, after 'storytelling' and 'living world', 'atmosphere'. Atmosphere adds to the living world - seeing the city whore go home to her kid after the sun rises and say 'mommy is going to sleep for a bit, don't stray too far' is added to by the slum feeling of the city, the rising sun in the background, etc. and the little pieces of lore scattered all over the place do the same thing, adding to the open world feeling, enhanced by the atmospheric graphics. I've rarely if ever seen anyone praise the combat system, shit fucking Gwent gets more praise despite it being literally hearthstone-tier.
People like you don't understand that gameplay entails all aspects of the game's experience and think that in shit like /tg/ games the 'gameplay' is minmaxing combat skills and 'balance'. If the game was designed to impress graphically then yes, it matters, and even if it wasn't, looking better rarely if ever hurts.

then extract the HPM Mod (https://www.dropbox.com/s/anjg7ctwsbbizzc/HPM%203.6.1.7z) into your mod folder

start the game without the mod once, quit. then start the game with the mod enabled then restart.

Opinions cannot be right or wrong unless they contradict or 1:1 correlate a fact (facts are kind of fucked up in philosophy anyway but let's just use the normal definition of fact for now).
There can be effective differences in opinion validity, there can be opinions that are more qualified because of differences in factual basis, there can be widely held opinions that can be treated effectively fact because of that, but there's no actual difference in opinions, especially ones that aren't predictions or relative to fact, but matters of taste, which is more or less the prime example of something that is purely subjective (ignoring subjective reality).

That doesn't make sense. Who are you trying to give sight? Who is the blind man here supposed to be? How is this even a viewpoint, it's a proposal, not an opinion. In this case the other guy would just be, for whatever reason, thinking your proposal is a poor idea.

And again, here you're being intolerant yourself. People who 'aren't willing to listen' aren't intolerant, they're decided. Nobody in this thread was 'unwilling to listen' to begin with, they just had their opinion and didn't think the reasoning their opponent presented was sound or consequential. People who are intolerant are people who actively persecute other opinions - for example, Paradox Forums is intolerant, because it actively attacks anyone who disagrees that Paradox is The Lord's work and is unwilling to listen to any other viewpoints.

A society that has established a perfect peace is encountered by a society that is warmongering. They attempt to invade the peaceful land. One man says that they must fight those who do not want peace in order to maintain peace. Another man says " Pffffffffffft, DUUUUUDE double think LMAO!!! " " If we defend ourselves than we are unpeaceful XD. "

This isn't double think it's a paradox in " logical " thought, or the way that humans perceive the world. We attribute value to a concept but in an attempt to defend that concept the concept must be violated.

>>162233739
See above, also you totally failed to see the point in the metaphor.

>One man says that they must fight those who do not want peace in order to maintain peace. Another man says if we defend ourselves than we are not peaceful.
Both of these are fucking viewpoints you imbecile. You just happen to agree with the first.

>I believe that ALL viewpoints should be tolerated, other than those that want to impose themselves on everyone e.g. Islam.
You're imposing your own viewpoint that they should all be tolerated except those select few on the entire thread right fucking now.

>Islam
Islam doesn't consider itself a viewpoint, but a statement of fact, so that's the biggest difference. I don't particularly agree with them, but that's immaterial.

I wanted to stick to metaphors but this is a perfect example of that happening in real life. You know what happened to the Jain?

Zoroastrians disappeared because their religion was highly decentralized and didn't incentivize/improve moral and ethical values of the populations it occupied. Islam created a theological incentive to invade non-Muslim realms and spread the religion. Christianity created extremely efficient and highly centralized political entities.

>See Islam in the current year please.
Is it not irrelevant?

>Zoroastrians disappeared because their religion was highly decentralized
Not particularly. Considering the Christians spread like a fucking plague when there was no center whatsoever for 200 years?

>and didn't incentivize/improve moral and ethical values of the populations it occupied
Zoroastrianism is probably the first religion on the planet to emphasize 'good words good deeds choose Ahura Mazda instead of Angra Mainyu'.

>Islam created a theological incentive to invade non-Muslim realms
So yes, a giant fucking carrot with 72 divine sexbots waiting for you if you die in battle, and incredible intolerance.

>Christianity created extremely efficient and highly centralized political entities.
Only during the Roman Empire and schisms happened almost immediately. At any rate that alone hardly explains its rate of spread. It was also, as I said, incredibly fucking intolerant. "Pagan" originally referred to Jews and Christians because they were stuck up pricks about shitting on everyone else's gods and ruining their day.

>I wanted to stick to metaphors but this is a perfect example of that happening in real life. You know what happened to the Jain? They got fucking eliminated, almost wiped from the face of the Earth, because they refused to defend peace the most sacred thing to them.
You're literally wrong. They defended peace, because to them there is literally no act more atrocious than commiting violence. SUFFERING violence is different from committing it. While others might be asses for being violent, if you, who professes to defend peace, turns to violence for it, it makes you both a terrible sinner and a fucking hypocrite.

>Also you just committed a serious logical fallacy, " A group of people did that thing this one way!!! My point is proven I'm right!!! "
Yeah we are. The point we're making isn't that their way is right. The point we're making is that they have a viewpoint, they have their own sets of values, and you shouldn't be allowed to trash it and say 'lmao no it doesn't count because it's stupid'. It's not even being intolerant, it's just alien to you because it has a different set of values and a different set of beliefs you've never seen before

Stop being such a fucking hypocrite. The Jains have their values. They will not attack even if they are under attack. They're ready to die in their vow for peace. Who the fuck are you to say your values are worth more than theirs? For all your precious talk of tolerance, at least the Jains are willing to die for their beliefs and not contradict themselves.

" You have an opinion that differs from mine, therefor you experience reality in an altered and flawed state " Kind of funny how you acknowledge that there are many different ways of experiencing the world without while holding the opinion that that's impossible.

>>162235347
It's a difference of opinion to be honest, while you put an infallible amount of value into the subject I put a slightly lesser degree to it. In order to preserve freedom of opinion, speech, though, what have you it must be defended from things that want to destroy the freedom of opinion, speech, and thought. To me the two things are separate, there is that which is tolerable and intolerable and it's not based of some arbitrary feeling or line of thought. The intolerable is objectively identifiable, as being that which is imposing of it's beliefs. It's a paradox bud, you can scream logical fallacy, double think, and cognitive dissonance all you want but it just comes down to a matter of personal ( subjective ) opinion.

Sorry for it being poorly written I don't care enough to put enough effort into it and I'm having trouble staying awake. Also tphilosophymajorpro

>It's a difference of opinion to be honest
But that's my point. I haven't shown my own opinion yet, I'm merely pointing out that other opinions exist, that they are not intolerant (saying 'I will not be violent even if I will die in the process' is not somehow hypocritical, Jains despise the act of committing violence why the fuck would they commit violence to stop others from being violent?), or that even if they are, they are literally just as valid as your own, and that if you say 'these opinions are invalid because X' then you are also intolerant. Even a fundamentalist christian is likely to be open to discussion on topics not covered in the Bible, like say pre-christian history or tastes in music. To him, your opinion is invalid because X where X is 'somehow contradicts the bible'. It's the same as you.

England captured Paris with Burgundy as allies, but the Burgundians backstabber them and took most of the French clay.

French King rallied the Occitan Lords to revolt, but instead of crowning him, they beheaded him and crowned their own King, which is why Toulouse is a thing.

Brittany allied Burgundy, which is why they got Maine and Anjou.

when the crimean war happens, if russia thoroughly BTFO of Ottomans, you have a decent chance of soloing them. maybe invite serbia, bulgaria or romania if they exist.
5 years after the crimea war the berlin congress will happen, in which you have a decent chance of acquiring thessaly peacefully. then the crises are unlocked.

You can also do something like making a "hat" in the portraits with a very special condition (ai = no might be one for only players, or char_flag = loli), but pasting over the child portrait into the respective hat slot, such that the portrait is always obscured by the child portrait and they LOOK like a loli because the child portrait is opaque.. This doesn't stop menopause though.

Hello, HPM. I recently tried to roleplay a game as Russia, because let's face it, there's only so many times you can blob into Prussia. and was disheartened to find out it's pretty much impossible. I played as Alexander II and reformed the state, as he did, then when it came to Alexander III I simply couldn't, the revolts were every damn year, if not more frequently.

I'd greatly appreciate if you could add a Okhrana modifier, that increases suppression points, reduces militancy and generally acts as it did in real life, keeping the peace. In real life Alexander III introduced them due to the assasination of Alexander II and they basically make Russia stable until Nicky shot on protestors in 1905.

HPM, when you're landlocked and share a border with a substate, you can't justify an acquire substate CB against its master (so Paraguay can't get Entre Rios before the Chaco is colonized, for example).
Also, I might be wrong in this but, if you conquer Entre Rios before the Argentine civil war begins, do they stay as a confederation for the rest of the game? And can Paraguay claim Alto Paraguay if you refuse to let Solano into office?

The war was started in 1949 and ended in 1946 7 years to the 2 of WW2. I started by pushing the Germans out of mainland china which took about 6 months then I had to take Indonesia which proved to take much longer due to the jungle terrain and stubborn german attempts at retakes. The conquest of mainland africa was quite easy due to the inferiority of the african equipment and the lack of German support the conquest of the largest continent on earth took a little over 6 months.

I moved on to taking England first it required 400k men and 4 nukes to break the syndies hold of thier island but I took it and broke it up as to punish them for thier use of A bomb against other states. After them I invaded spain using it as the rock on which to break the germans. Through the use of the Pyrenees 1.6 million men and 6 nukes I pushed the germans into France. From there it was a slow slog towards the Rhine/Paris it also took another 2 nukes. After crossing the Rhine it was more akin to an occupation then a war at that point.

While I think of a solution for that I decided to do something about the "New Britain and New Ireland" being that way from the start. Now the islands start with native names and the owner can change its name. I'm doing all common GPs, common SPs and most common colonizers but the countries that aren't included in the decision to rename it will have the islands with their native names.

The CB is checking if the substate overlord neighbours you, but he doesn't so that problem occurs. I will lift that restriction.

Depends on a few things but there's a few cleanup events. If there's no more substates they flip to Argentina.

> And can Paraguay claim Alto Paraguay if you refuse to let Solano into office?
No, which is something I need to correct. I will change the event to be a decision that doesn't depend on him.

That will require some event-based peace compromises so it might take a while until I get to that.

A few things of note is that Najing has 47 IC more then quite a few nations and that if a nation isnt self sufficient then it cant support its industry as China consumes most of the worlds natural resources. There are a few more nations ide like to liberate but as before it would be easy.

China certainly had hereditary nobility during the period CK2 is set.

I wouldn't recommend adding China either way, as the complexities required to reflect the changes in governance and the changes from Mongol rule to Han rule to Manchu rule would not be reflected well with the game as it is.

Not in any power holding capacity, there were some powerful families that had titles, but land stopped being attached to those titles before the Han Dynasty, so there was no landed nobility. The families of imperial favorites and leading civil bureaucrats aren't comparable to the landed military nobles of Crusader Age Europe. Anything resembling feudalism in China was pretty much wiped away with the Qin unification.

NEO VICTORIA - THE CYBER REVOLUTION -

The Cyber/Steampunk Parkour zombie Revolution Mod For Victoria II Is Here /gsg/!

NeoVictoria follows a deranged and disturbing timeline where following the invention of the internet during the early 19th century after a catasrophic event with uncertain roots Queen Victoria was able to impose a Pan-European Cyberstate over her domain. All-seeing Vaporwave Neon Pyramids defend the Holy CyberNetic Realm, and a massive eye in the clouds looks over the Motherboard that is the TechoMistresses Divine Kingdom.

In The East, The NeoByzantine Lands of CyberMesopotania and Nu-Babylon have successfully connected each of their citizens to an All-knowing Hivemind via Neural Implants in their brains. The CyberPharoah is connected with his land and the land connected with him. He is truly the state.

In the barren east, survivors of the apocalypse have constructed a highly technological society from the rubble. A crude form of internet, constructed with pipes,cogs and valves powers this highly engineered society, merchants operate from their NetNavigators in their trade with the Australian Tribes and children are literally born with the power of the cyberzone inbedded in their minds. Their Capital: NeoTokyo, bleeds…

America is divided into a multitude of DataRepublics, all vying for supremacy. The WebLuddites, shunning all forms of cybernetic communication clash with Her Cybernetic Highness'es forces in the barren wastelands of Greenland.

The world stands still as the powers-that-be prepare to play their cards, and there can only be one in this new age of the Cyber Revolution. Which side are you on?

Slave to the cyberzone. Can you escape?

That's why I'm trying to get the settings right, sp EU3 can be pretty. On the plus side I've never had Austria and Bohemia blobs.

That's the correct answer, it should be a new game. CK2 should get no further DLC unless it's relevant to 1066 start. Like, fuck you, Paradox, fucking upgrade the Crusade mechanic.
>>
>>162269929
Honestly they should just make CK3, with no India, no Turkestan, realistic Crusades, and actual fucking navies instead of cogs.

You know what? You've sold me. A new game from Alexander's death to the Fall of Rome is what we need. And they should stop naming DLC things that get me excited for playable theocracies.

>>162269894
Well, you should be playing Austria for a better Großdeutschland experience. As for the girlfriend thing, go talk to her, don't ask a bunch of autists discussing Genocide and Incest Simulators on an Ainu Fishpaste Tasting forum.

>crusader kings
>start date 5 centuries before the crusades

The best part is how the game, which was supposed to revolve around the crusades, has the shitiest and most basic crusade system imaginable. Even Medieval 2 had a better system.

However, improving the system needs resources. But releasing a Crusade rework DLC in CRUSADER KINGS will cause too much controversy about their greed. But they do not intend to give ANYTHING for free.

So nope. No crusades. EVER.

>>162272674
Most of those traits, and indeed most traits in CKII period, are neither entirely good nor entirely bad. Nevertheless, Muhammad already has a slate of trades in the game and I don't see anyone complaining about it. What would the problem be with having a start in which Muhammad, as currently represented in the game, is alive?

Not that I think pushing the start date back even further would even be interesting, of course. The earliest start dates in CKII are already kind of pointless.

Brand new player here, how badly did I fuck up? Granada managed to break free and take some extra provinces from Castille so I decided to be a cheeky cunt and take a few provinces ( muh sevilhae ) but it seems Castille is really pissed about it and wants them back. They broke their alliance with me and have gone hostile. I currently have a truce with them but looking at these stacks they brought along for the war on Granada, I'm scared. Current alliances are France and Tunis, though I'm thinking of breaking this last one because they might drag me into a dumb war with Tlemcen. Should I just fold and sell these back to Castille or will they just bluff forever like Morocco? Force limit is going up very slowly through colonization. I was thinking I might be able to win this war, have them revoke the cores and go back to being "friends" after a long time.

Just straight up released everything that Russia had so I had some options when playing as Lithuania. UBD starts out as a substate of Russia, then it gets completely annexed. In very early 1900s Estonia managed to get independence, so I sphered it and managed to get the decision to form UBD. (already had Latvia in my sphere way earlier)
I just formed it because sitting with one accepted culture was fucking horrible. Doesn't seem like it has anything unique going for it.
I am still trying to form PLC, at this point all I need is Königsberg but Germany keeps getting bigger and bigger and at this point it's near impossible to do that. Iirc, two Great Wars started and both times Germany completely steam rolled thru France and Austria-Hungary.

Since plenty of you anon probably didn't see it yesterday:

If anyone here cares enough to give me some suggestions, what kind of AAR would you anons like to see for when I get back? What game, what start, what goal?

I'm about to have an extended vacation, but unfortunately I've still got to work in the midst of it, so I'm still not likely to be able to post anything until June or so. That said, I'm really excited to do another AAR and I'm hoping to get some ideas for what to do far in advance, so I can have some plans already lain out.

So far the suggestions have been weighted toward DH or HoI3, with Germany/China suggested for Kaiserreich, Germany/Italy suggested for vanilla DH, and China/Japan suggested for HoI3. That said, I'm always open for other suggestions for starts and games.

as before, pls no bully on trip, I've got to prove it's me

I decided to give conclave a chance some weeks ago.

I picked the Strategos of Athens. Literally 1 week after I unpaused I got an ultimatum from some worthless count about Council laws. I naturally refused and went to the laws tab to see what these laws are.

Before I could even realize what this ultimatum was about, I see him raising 6000 men (from event?). With me still having just 1000 levies and being just 10 days into the game, it was officially over.

If this is what conclave means, I want nothing to do with it.

Vet of EUIV HOI4 and to a lesser extent CK2.

WTF is going on in Victoria II?

Austria:
1. Attack Prussia early, take industrial center of Schlesen
2. Ally France and my sphere bros.
3. France constantly fucking my with my sphere shit.
4. Prussia declares war on me to reconquer lost territory; fair enough
5. Win, take Rhineland to slow down their German Empire ambitions
6. France; UK; Russia; Prussia attack me; allies decline to join the war

what did I do wrong?

How do you expand your military? Why is Prussia and France always so much more powerful than me? Why does my industry suck?

Why does everyone refuse to honor alliances and attack me instead?

In case of nomads there's just too many useless fucking buildings, in case of all others, maybe except the family manor, the buildings are just bland, they give you minimal control over your levy.

This may be blobbing but I'm planning on creating a new (and French) world order then breaking up the empire after destroying Islam
Rate it and give me some goal for after the breakup

>6 hotdogs

>2 duchies
holding a duchy gives prestige and allows you to conquer the provinces in it with a dejure CB and prevents a vassal from getting butthurt about you holding counties in said duchy if they hold it
>tech
put him in a lowtech province for the spread
>>
>>162290812
You can hold 2 duchies without vassals getting pissed so there's no reason not to. It helps with tech because county-tier titles don't generate tech at all, that starts at duke level and gradually increases per tier.

The councillor tech spread actions should be used on the province you want the tech to spread TO, not where you want it to spread FROM, so if you've got a super high tech capital then you want to place it in provinces adjacent to it.

>>162290853
Presumably it just means more subjects herding sheep and in the long run end up paying more tribute to you, and not all military buildings affect all troops and initially the bonuses are quite minor, but they eventually stack up.

I've done all three and it's helped a bit but it still feels like no one will expand where they're supposed to. I figured missions would help but England would rather fight the Mamluks for no reason rather than complete their mission to conquer Ireland.

I've been looking up what I can find and I see different things like removing or making DotF harder to get. I know I've seen the Ottomans get in wars with Ming in the 1400s because of it and they don't even know it exists yet. Also something about making transports more expensive so Europe can stop dropping 15k stacks in North Africa constantly.

I'd love to find a way to give North African nations some boosts when they're at war with Europe at least for the first 100 years or so to help qualm blobbing there. And to see if I can mess with colonial range and make it so only Western techs can colonize so I don't see India colonize Swahili anymore. Perhaps reducing manpower and forcelimit a bit universally and making Grain provinces boost it would be cool too, because they're pretty worthless as it is.

The Germanic barbarians did destroy Rome though, and the are in no way Roman.

No, I'd imagine that to be the Germans, repeatedly destroyed by the Slavs and Saxons and forced to see them use their women and raise a generation of their occupiers' offspring, before taking in foreigners in the tens of millions in the vain hope that they will support the remnants of their fallen empire.

Charlemagne unified the pagan Saxons because their religion caused disunity and heresies, it was sort of like a civil war.
>>
>>162293039
Removing DotF is a good move, as are removing all the guaranteeing/SoIs in the middle east (Greek minors, Cyprus, the Knights) to prevent a Iberian/French clusterfuck from ganging up on the Ottomans.

I honestly try to ignore all colonizing whenever I play, but it's indeed pretty annoying to see Britanny, Ulster, Tuscany and whatnot colonizing the America's. It's pretty easy to tweak colonial range, colony placement success rate and limit colonizing to a NI that some tags are discouraged from picking.

>>162293469
Yeah I figured the Americas were probably hopeless when it came to good colonization but I was hoping to help control Africa. I'm not sure what it possible to change but I'll see what I can do. I was thinking of making Granada a vassal of Castille at start, because Granada starts off allied to nearly every NA country which in turn leads to Europe immediately getting dragged into an African mess.

I never understood what SoI where even for aside from getting a CB against whoever attacks them, which just leads to more mess.

It'll be a lot of trial and error but I'm determined. It doesn't take too long to test a game anyway, you get a good idea in the first 200 years which only takes a few hours

You don't only get a CB, you get a call to war when someone attacks them, and you also get a diplomatic bonus, so with a beefy SoI you could severely limit expansion and successfully play the diplo game even with high infamy.

>>162294742
IIRC the cost doubles every time or increases by 2 so it requires some pretty decent prestigewhoring to max it out, but the benefits are pretty huge. Anyway, France/Castille starts with a bunch of guarantees and spheres near Ottoman objects so that's a bad source of early wars.

Yeah I think it doubles. If I notice it being much more of a problem I may raise the initial cost. I'm not sure how much I want to change it hardcoded though. I haven't had any problems with my test games with the Ottomans losing to anyone at all. They ate a decent chunk of Castille during all the North African wars and the Mamluks even ate into England proper because they seemed to care more about Crimea and Naples than their homeland

I'll be sure to look into the diplomacy files though.
