How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, January 22nd:
1517 – Ottoman forces defeated the Egyptian Mamluk army in the Battle of Ridaniya and brought the severed head of the last Mamluk sultan Tuman bay II into Cairo.
1689 – The Convention Parliament convened to justify the overthrow of James II, the last Roman Catholic King of England, who had vacated the throne when he fled to France in 1688.
1969 – Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev survived an assassination attempt, an incident that was not revealed to the public until after the fall of the Soviet Union.

If tactics only make you lose less men it doesn't seem to matter, as with +93% combat ability surely you'll simply stomp anyone before they can do any damage?

Again though, fight Austria and see if you can win with less men.

Yeah these kills aren't nearly good enough despite

Sure the rolls were not great and they were in woods, but part of the idea of not being a horde and going full cav is so that you can fight in the rougher terrains better since you don't get the -25% shock penalty.


Maybe you can adjust the composition a bit depending on what you're fighting.
Ignore the military tactics penalty in some situations, just to get that extra damage in so you wipe the army instead of making them retreat.

But in fights like these you'll have to bring in inf and go for a 50/50 ratio and retain good military tactics while still having more than standard amounts of cav for extra damage.

The wiki says the insufficient support applies to percentage of support, so could you wield 60% cav and 40% arty? That seems like a lethal combination, especially if you took the arty combat ability quality and quality idea that improves it.

Anyone else like it when you capture a female and their liege has no intrest in them or no money. Then since they're no good for anything else, you get the option of cutting them up, humiliating them torturing them or even killing them at your leisure. That really gets me rockin haha jk
>>
>>166354540
>Is it effective?
He >>166352658 may be slightly hyperbolic with the numbers, but maybe not. You can have some insane slaughters early on as horde going full cav, and later on adding some artillery.
But to be honest the artillery are mostly needed for sieges. They are not key to combat as they are for non hordes since cavalry don't get half the defensive pips from the artillery behind them like infantry.


>https://boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/164626189/#q164654124
Why did you take both humanist and religious?

If you want a military powerhouse you want innovative and economic for policies.

Inno+Qual has a 20% inf combat policy
econ+qual has a 5% disc policy
econ+off has a 20% art combat policy.

My last game as Prussia I was stack wiping 20-30k stack after 20-30k stack as soon as I upped my militarism during the league war. It was a coop game, but I was the one fighting.


You had a combat width of 40 so more than 40 artillery weren't really helping you unless the battle lasted so long that they took morale hits despite not taking damage.

You have +125% flanking range, meaning you can have 4 cav on each side.
You only need 8 cavalry not 18.
Infantry need to be replaced over time so it is good to be over.


Were you the attacker? Did you attack from Berg?
If so you got both a crossing penalty and the woods penalty from cologne itself.


The french don't have terrible ideas so it's not that weird that they can hold.
>>
>>166355262
Oh and with almost 100 army tradition I think you could've rolled a better general than a 5-3.
Maybe your extra maneuever kept you from the terrain and river crossing penalties, I don't know exactly how that works if it is enough to have 1 over. Didn't think about thatö.

>>166355262
I hate playing horses, but I wasnt joking, you can destroy Ming fairly easy just by repeatedly luring them with your low stack sizes into -4 combat areas then wiping out the small stacks when they retreat. After a while the lands in the south rebel and it all goes downhill from there leading to your formation of Qing less then 50 years from the start of the game. The only problem is getting enough money to do that and it usually involves picking on the people to the west. 25k Cav isnt easy to maintain. But they loot so much.

Thats because it is, you expand west, wait for their mongolian war to be over, wait for them to war with the souther alliance and loot the provinces in the north for the money. Then just lure them to their doom on mountains crossing rivers or plains if they are small. They tend to keep fighting the people in the south if you dont capture provinces so make sure to walk away and stand still as soon as it gets close. After looting their main provinces they should be low on cash. Assuming they didnt randomly come up, in which case its fine even if you lose a few times since you get free reinforcements, you win from rebels because of unrest. Same way it worked in real life, they looted until the empire collapsed.

>Discipline never seems to do much for me.
You can see it as a threshold thing.

sure 5% more disc than the opponent may not mean much. You take a bit less damage and deal a bit more damage.
It makes your manpower and mercs more effective over time but may not be so noticeable in any given battle.

Morale damage is based on causalties though, so you'll be dealing more morale damage.
5%, 10% more disc and 10% more morele may mean that you overall get more out of your troops than the opponent, but 20% more disc and 10% more morale may mean that their morale shatters so early that they get wiped.
I think getting humanist and religious ideas are a huge waste.
Religious can save mana and have some good military policies though.
Humanist have some mil policies as well, but I'd mostly take it as a horde.

>>166356118
They attack the south and there are always like 3 people in an alliance when that happens. So they fight off like 20k troops while you can loot the north for a year or two. If they come up early then they occupy the land to the south and you still win. They cant fight you with anything less then full strength so... Its lose lose.

Yes

If you see extra damage dealt and less damage recieved as equal than in some circumstances 5% disc is equal to 20% inf.

Here I've measured the effects of adding various modifiers to an end game western army with full combat width of inf and art with max flank cav.

>>166358065
I think it's less of a meme than it's been previously due to the combat width added to naval battles.

Can't just throw around hundreds of threedeckers and expect it to solve everything anymore.


I was fighting late game with threedeckers vs ottogalleys in the mediterranean and due to the width the battles were taking a long time.
My heavy ships were taking up more space than his galleys, so while my heavies lasted longer his galleys were probably doing more damage.
I don't have much experience with naval warfare though.

There are some non naval warfare policies that you get access to with Naval ideas so there are some other benefits as well.

I'd probably consider it in mp as a mil idea.

I could but I'm shit at modding and couldn't put it in.

On further examination though, DW is just shit all around. Futas can't seduce females, you don't get special incest flavor text, the only way to have sex with a girl who's 15 years and 364 days old is to violently rape her, but you can marry her (even if she's your daughter) one day later, etc. Half-assed.

Having played HoI IV, then HoI III and recently having started Darkest Hour, I have to say that DH is a very clumsily programmed game (barely any hotkeys, you can't use space to pause or unpause the game, there are no hotkeys, you can't push escape to go to the menu, you can't directly exit to desktop from the menu and you can't even alt+f4 to close the game) and you can clearly tell it's an older game, but nonetheless (for now) I believe it to be the best of all the HoI games.

If HoI IV kept the current resource/factory system and was otherwise the same as DH (but with an upgrade and better programming), it'd be a great game. I believe DH will become my go-to WW2 grand strategy game once I overcome the learning curve.

Me too. That shouldn't be too difficult to mod, right? I'm probably comparing apples and oranges here, but some Bethesda mods entirely overhaul the interfaces to make everything more easy to oversee. Something like that should be possible for DH, shouldn't it?

>>166367428

Sweeden lad, go make some grossscandanaviums with ruskis as final boss
>>
>>166367564
That piece of advice is always shit.
Go with France so you can see all the game has to offer and it's still pretty manageable for a begginer since you just have to hold the line.
You can also play Germany which is what I'd recommend for HoI3 since if you play a small irrelevant country you can just sit on your ass and wait.

So either Sweden or France then.
For Sweden I presume the strategy is to join the T. Entente, move towards a more authoritarian regime and annex Norway and Denmark before buffer state Sweden. Might give me a lot of army practice.

As for France, what should my strategy be other than just holding the line? Is sending some troops abroad (to the Italian-Austrian front or the Balkans) viable to help my allies?

It has the localisation for major nations inplace. They are currently adding focus trees and flavor to very minor countries and events to all. So if you want to play a major then sure, minor hold of abit untill there are complete focus trees. Of course it does still suffer from many of the gameplay and design flaws of hoi4, so as other anon said dont get it unless you liked vanilla goy4. The easiest place to get it is the CSRU whatever site is currently hosting the pirated links in the OP. They have a mod thread with up to date versions of thousands of mods

How do you value morale vs discipline generally speaking?

Morale/2 = Disc, Morale/3=Disc, or what?
>>
>>166371305
When do you need to choose? Both should be as high as possible for the most part. I'd probably go for morale simply because having more morale also means you deal more morale damage.

When you pick religion based on combat potential and/or when you pick nation.

More disc also means you deal more morale damage since morale damage is based on losses. Since they have synergy that way together I think theoretically the more you have of one them, the other increases in worth.

Are the NWO lads here? There should be a generic uncivilized tag with no cores anywhere, so that when you take territories from China, India, Africa, etc. they get cores there, is released, reabsorbed into your country and lose their cores, this way they become colonies instead of full states.

apparently on April 5, 2011 although HOI2(the game it is based on) came out on January 4, 2005 both dates are definitely earlier than since when this processor exists so maybe that's the issue
Just thought I'd bring it to light for other people who play Darkest Hour, check if it is using the Intel Graphics. I don't think CK2 has this issue though and it is also older than the processor.

What are the chances of Paradox releasing more models for units in HoI4?

I'm thinking special models for Fallshirmajer, British Paratroopers, US Airborne etc. who all have pretty unique uniforms. Also colours could change depending on the environment the troops are fighting in i.e. desert colours if you're fighting in Africa.

I know they made the Commonwealth troops more unique with together for victory so wondering if they'll add some more variety.

Imo you should add more minor institutions.

Like "Greek" which roughly refers to the knowledge of the greeks retained by the byzantines and muslims. That institution could ignore half of the penalty from the renaissance.

You could add more minor similar institutions like that in india and china.

Also institution spread based on tech group like another anon said could be an idea.
Imo institution spread should also affect how much developing adds to an institution.
So with high penalties to institution spread you need to develop even more if you want to force an institution in.
The time penalty is a little odd in institutions as well.
Say colonialism hits at 1500 and you're at dip tech 13 or whatever. Tech to dip 14 and it costs 600. Wait until 1550 without embracing and the same technology costs 900.

Wait

Huey Long was an actual Governor within a mainstream political party. He actually got to put his polices into action. He'd fit well for a fascist leader, but he died in 1935, long before HoI4's start date.

Look closer in your provinces and your immediate area

open up the tech tab, click renaissance and then look over your province.
maybe you've developed without thinking about it and you already have 30% on the way or something

You understand that "irregulars" in Vic2 represent literal spear-chuckers, not irregulars in the sense of newly-drafted civilians? You should see if there's a way to have the countries start mobilized and have the "irregulars" be the mobilized infantry.

>>166382960
Each time you develop a province you add to the earliest institution in that province that you haven't embraced.

So, you'd add Renaissance to a province if you develop.

The amount you add depends on the development present in the province. Higher dev, more Renaissance advancement.
IIRC it is the most mana efficient to develop a province that is at 16 development already if you have to develop from 0 to 100.

You need 10% of youir development to have the institution(only counts 100% provinces, 99% renaissance doesn't help) to embrace it.
Having even more decreases the ducat cost to embrace.

So it can be advantageous to develop the same province for more than one instituion, but I'd probably switch.

You need roughly 2000 mana to put into a province.
Try to get the -% dev cost from burghers when you decide to start developing.

To give you an idea though.

Renaissance needs the north italian region, colonialism can spawn in an old world nation that has a colony in the new world, I think the printing press spawns in reformed/protestant or in germany, global trade in a trade province with a powerful trade node, manufactory in a high production province with a manufactory and enlightenment in a high dev province/capitol with a university ruled by a ruler with high stats.

The fastest way to expand is just to inherit a huge kingdom. Assassinate people or try to get them killed in battle while you are married to their daughters. You can also get a lot of weak claims this way that can be pressed when the title holder is a child or a woman.

Alright I finished my France playthrough.
I wanted to go Commune originally, but I ended up with a fascist coup by mistake (Napoleon wanted them in power for that jingoism bonus), so I ran with it. I ended up becoming a Republic in mid 1935 after I passed some reforms though. The world doesn't change much from pic related on, except Russia gets dismanteled by the Polish/German coalition.
The main power blocs are the /constitutional monarchy/ allaince of Germany and Britain. Germany spheres or puppets most of the vultures eating up Austria's carcass. Interestingly enough communist Poland is best buddies with Willy and they fucked Russians and Austrians together.
Then there's the commiebloc of Italy/Yugoslavia/Bulgaria that's slowly growing in power
France is best buddies with communist Spain and a bunch of other european secondaries (royal Portugal, Sweden and Norway, fascist Romania and Denemark). I used to be allied with Russia but their army was shit and they were bullying my kohai Codreanu.

There was one great war in the 1890's, one between Russia-Austria and Germany-Italy, who's result can be seen rather clearly on the map. There was a huge war between Germany+minors and France+Russia that ended in a white peace.

Note that I switched over to Poland and Serbia in the 1900-1915 periods so I could form Congress Poland -> Real Poland and Serbia -> Yugoslavia, because I was getting bored of France.

This is unironically a pretty good mimic of how most people with a heavy accent would say it, but I'm not going to say that since Qing at the time was garbage and a failure of a state while Japan was based.

I...don't see it happening in the immediate future, so I don't know how to answer you. Taiwan has no chance simply because of relative economic and political power, I'm not convinced a civil war is possible under the current circumstances...I suppose some sort of harsh economic slowdown (negative growth) might cause enough upheaval to fuck things up? I'm not seeing it though, you guys have been saying this for literally decades.

>How does the average person ( not just your average city person ) feel about the government
Relative satisfaction because hey if the results work then they work. When the economy hits the fan people will get mad, if a war somehow starts people will get mad, but until something goes wrong...

>do they have more loyalty to their Provence/community or to the nation as a whole.
Kind of a weird question; the correct answer would probably be "their province and community in the context of being part of the nation as a whole", if that makes sense. Sort of like I guess when you ask some Italian American, he feels attachment to his Italian part but definitely also to his American part, maybe?

Ranges from "Fucking retards this is unbreatheable fix this NOW" to "fucking assholes...I guess it's gotten a lot better, just keep it up then and don't loosen the pace", althoguh only in major cities and polluted areas since not everywhere is polluted and some places have been mostly fixed somehow.

It's a literal impossibility for China to not collapse, unless you can expand your population by 50% in the next 20 - 30 years that's not going to happen. The housing bubble that the government has artificially propped up will crash and will take the entire country with it. Trillions of dollars will just disappear, banks will collapse and the government won't be able to bail them out. Local governments especially those in the south will obstinately oppose the will of the government, Hong Kong, Shaghai, Makkau will more than likely attempt to secede from the failing state. There's going to be a mass Exodus of economic Chinese migrants. You're fucked lad, Chinese people only put up with bullshit because when shit goes down in China, it really goes down. Once shit hits the fan Chinese people won't tolerate the will of a tyrannical incompetent government.

Because they poorly implement good ideas. They can't write a good AI to save their lives, and they push unfinished games out the door, only to charge many times more for the rest of the pieces.

There are many terrible things in their latest, Hearts of Iron IV, but let's look at how they implemented the weapons, shall we?

They used a 32-bit register to store the number of weapons, which means if you were to continue manufacturing weapons, or it you were to have a high number, and a faction surrendered to you, giving them their weapons late in the game, your 2,147,483,647 weapons suddenly becomes -2,147,483,647 weapons, and now you may find yourself fighting a loosing battle with the surviving faction because your men suddenly have nothing.

>It's a literal impossibility for China to not collapse, unless you can expand your population by 50% in the next 20 - 30 years that's not going to happen.
Obviously that's not going to happen.

>The housing bubble that the government has artificially propped up will crash and will take the entire country with it.
The housing bubble isn't government sponsored first off, but I do note that this is a legitimate concern. That being said, there are things going on to mitigate the entire bubble bullshit since 2008, when the government realized 'shit we're fucked if this happens here'. That said, since there's a very prominent ten-year-recession cycle in global economics for whatever reason, you might actually have a real point. Let's presume it happens.
>Trillions of dollars will just disappear, banks will collapse and the government won't be able to bail them out.
I'm not sure about this, you underestimate the bullshit politburo can pull when it comes down to brass tacks. But once again let's assume it's true (we won't know until shit hits the fan after all, and at any rate I'm not getting hurt by it)
>Local governments especially those in the south will obstinately oppose the will of the government
Kek no?

>Hong Kong, Shanghai, Makkau will more than likely attempt to secede from the failing state.
You have absolutely no understanding of internal politics here, it's as absurd as people who actually believed California would secede or, in the case of Shanghai, New York.

>There's going to be a mass Exodus of economic Chinese migrants.
To where? OTHER collapsing global economies?

>You're fucked lad, Chinese people only put up with bullshit because when shit goes down in China, it really goes down.
This sounds like you're trying to be a prophet.

>Once shit hits the fan Chinese people won't tolerate the will of a tyrannical incompetent government.
The 'tyrannical' government has nowhere near as much oppositon as you think, that's the crux of the matter.

Theres "possible oils reserves", according to "experts". Personally I don't know but either way it's a juicy card against Japan, even to just say "here's my offer, if you do this small diplomatic favor I'll completely drop the issue". It's not really fair since we brought it up to begin with but hey, politics ain't fair.
It's more of a dickwaving contest because the gov made the mistake of basically firing up the people about it to the point where if they outright made an agreement over it, there would be riots all over the place, police be damned. Implicit agreements or slow backing off might still be possible but the concessions you can get will obviously be much shittier.

Because they're lazy, incompetent, and greedy. For example, Mount and Blade: Warband is a great idea that was implemented rather shabbily, but the devs had limited resources and had a genuine passion for the game. The community, I included, absolutely love the game(s).

Here's my gripe lise with CKII, features that I would pay good money for and for a company like paradox shouldn't be difficult to implement.

No population mechanics
No urbanization mechanics
No culture melting mechanics
No legitimacy mechanic ( GOT mod has it for fucks sake )
No resources/farming mechanics
No dogma mechanics ( general opinions and psyche of populations )
No economic/trading system
No class system(s)
No way to quantify solider effectiveness (experience, equipment, training etc) (Population, resources, and class system would solve this )
No cadet dynasties.
No depth or flavor in crusades
No naval combat
No subholdings ( small cities, towns, villages, farming communities )
4/5ths of European cultures are missing ( no subculture/culture families )
Horrible graphics
Total lack of flavor events
Very shallow realm laws
Too few provinces/Fucking India
Totally inaccurate Castle/levy system
Lack of military depth eg. non-personal retinues

It makes perfect sense, publicly disinheriting your own son, the legal heir to the Empire, goes against centuries of tradition. Regardless of his competency, you can't just go against all inheritance law and expect it to go unnoticed. Of course your nation would appear less 'prestigious' for breaking tradition, that's the whole point!

Teutons get attacked by Poland always.
You can use that to take Neumark and if you are good some more clay in the first war.
Pomerania is always easy to shit on to get to the coast and have some trade money.
Making allies with Austria is also easy so you can avoid unlawful territory shit.
It is medium difficulty at most.

Need

so that's what 2 wars with the Pope and one with Venice, surely it can't be that little.
Am I correct in making allainces with Hungary, Bavaria, Bohemia, Milan and Savoy. Or should I restart as my rivals are danmark, ottomans, lithunia and France.
Although Poland hasn't formed a PU with lithunia and went with a noble instead
