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/?

This day in history, February 14th:

1349 – Several hundred Jews are burned to death by mobs while the remaining Jews are forcibly removed from Strasbourg.
1502 – Spanish Inquisition: The Catholic Monarchs issue a decree forcing Muslims in Granada to convert to Catholicism or leave Spain.

>>168327908

Norman games are so boring, at least their culture is, since I've had it as my dynasty culture a bunch. I decided to pick Geatish, since in the Old Gods start date there are no existing Geats (you can do the same thing with the 'Gothic' culture; having your dynasty being the only 'Gothic' people still remaining in Europe is based)

Take note of the Cumbric King of the Isles, who holds four king-level titles, pretty nice to have a rival in the great north.

They say that Beowulf, the folk hero from Norse legend, was a Geat. It just means what's modern-day southern Sweden, allegedly they were culturally unique from the Swedish Norse

Doesn't Spain start with a shitton of iron provinces already? Plus there's iron in Angola, Zimbabwe, Mindanao, Hispanic America (if you plan on puppeting them). If that's not enough, then you'll have to resort to Algeria, Korea or stealing the Congo after a secondary power claims it and builds the mining companies. Oranje, Persia and Manchuria are great for iron too but I can't see how either of them would make sense.

MEMEBLOC got board of raiding the thread so we had 1 whole year without steamgroup raids. Then in late 2015 a new steamgroup emerged called Radical Yugoslavia that started raiding the thread. Then in late 2016, the leader of Rad Yugo, Cobra (Powerword: Reed James) got doxxed ending Rad Yugo. This event caused so much chaos it re-attracted MEMEBLOC who shitposted for a few weeks then left. With no steamgroup, the Discord Group saw a chance to gain power from the Report and Ignore coalition so they reported the archive and it got taken down. After this Cobra, Yohan and Bobocrunch started a rival Discord group and /gsg/ was in chaos for months.

Around November 2016 /gsg/ entered another era of peace similar to the interlude of peace in 2015. Who knows what the future holds.

Persia actually modernizes too fast. It can modernize by 1852. Can't capture central Asia in time for it to be a state and not a colony. States are great, because of migration. Colonial migration is shit though and so very slow compared to state migration and assimilation. Sindh was the goat for that reason. all my province's had a Sindh minority that got assimilated. also if you support Central Asian powers against each other you you can save BB by acquiring whole states.

I was able to modernize in 1850 in this run. I waited a bit to increase literacy to make the decision with university tho

I thought about staying uncivilized for a while and building an xbox hueg army meanwhile, then westernizing and trying to fend off the attacker.

If you start boosting relations with the UK/France from the start you can normally avoid them attacking.
I did an Egypt->Arab Union run a while back and I only had to fight the Ottomans+Russia which wasn't that hard.

Also try to get GP status before the Suez canal can be built otherwise your sphere leader will take Suez and if it's the UK or France it can be a real pain in the ass to get back and you need it to form the Arab Union.

You can bet that if you talk about it long enough you'll get a reply with "hehe polcucks BTFO again" or something of that variety some pic of of some anglo with a fucked up chin.
It makes me mad too, not because of the shitposting itself, but it reminds me of how far this shithole has fallen. We haven't had a gs post since >>168355707 and it got no replies. Shitposting works, and it doesn't look like it will change anytime soon.

Herald from /kpg/. I am having issues with a Korean campaign. It seems like I just have fuck all for economy and am penny pinching just to keep my head above water economically ( avoid taking loans ). In this playthrough Oirat called me into 2 wars early and so I did not start taking land until late. I took Exploration first but find that colonizing is really pushing my economy and any war I start I will almost reliably always take a loan. I have also gotten severely screwed on events that necessitated many stability boosts, so I am only just on time with my admin tech ( forget developing or taking ideas ). This is my second playthough of the country, my first ended up in a disaster due to economic problems and my military just not being able to fight any of the hordes despite being 2 tech ahead and superior numbers. My current playthrough is much better than the last but I feel like I am playing my ass off and it seems like I am just getting so little done. Any tips with this country, I only want what's best for my waifus.

The Great War rages on in Europe, Germany, long crippled by the blockades set against it and embargos by most of the world, has finally started to fall to the Entente forces. Austria Hungary remains stalwart, even after losing large swathes of territory in Tirol.

Bulgaria, given an unprecedented amount of expeditionary forces, was able to take most of Allied Balkans. The Serb army remains intact, and is ready to counterattack.

Is Bulgaria supposed to get this many expeditionary forces? 2/3rds of their army is from A-H and Germany alone

Not really, there's quite a few factors in play. If the US goes to war after 1900, it's not unusual to see countries like the UK getting a few dozens of immigrants. Since I had a huge amount of reforms and already had about a dozen provinces with Russian pops in it, they felt inclined to move into my country every time the US went to war, along with some Indians from westernized Indian principalities. Argentina and Brazil were also dictatorships and Uruguay reached its pop cap for immigration, I'm pretty sure this helped too.

>tfw thinking about the historical ramifications of your alternate timeline

Since I saw it earlier in the thread, I recommend to anyone who dislikes waiting and praying that your head of religion starts a great holy war that you want to get in on to give_title yourself the paulician patriarchy, the title normally belongs to a secular ruler and you can call for crusades (holy wars for kingdom titles, instead of duchy titles)

I actually didn't notice that, I was talking about how many pops I was pushing worldwide. I can't keep militancy in check at this point in the game which made it rather boring. My military could take on all powers of the world combined if I had the patience but I would drown in rebels every two months. I might actually be able to solve the rebel issue if I got rid of penal colonies. But I am making Africa German!

Prague is more densely populated than any province in China. Madras has a population 4,6 million, two bengal provinces with 3,5 million, and then Agra and the province next to it at 2,5 million or so that I could find.

The fact that it pulled ahead past London which has 10 more life rating than it was amazing, the welfare state is truely wunderbar.

Not sure if trolling, but there's many. To reclaim Holy Land, recreate Roman Empire, expand de jure borders, leave other children far away lands, or begin the climb to Emperor.

Lewdanon, got another question for you. Do you want traits to be really deterministic, or would you prefer to let players choose things out of their character's... well, character? I prefer traits being deterministic, and I'd prefer to put a bunch of trait checks on all of the content I'm fleshing out (like characters with X trait can only respond in this way, characters with Y and Z traits have the option to do this, etc). I realize that's a lot of extra work and it costs the player agency, though, so I'd imagine you'd probably like me to restrict it to just the player receiving special options of what to do based on their traits while still having the ability to pick other choices, yeah?

Also, you should ask about vampires again. I gave my view last time but nobody else said anything, and I would like to know how they're going to function so I can mock up some scenarios for them.

just finished up war with ottomans and cleaned up borders, ending game here. I had 400k +spain against ottomans with 350k + france, but the war lasted 9 years so it was eventually a 1v1. Level 8 fort spam really needs to be nerfed, makes end game wars unbearable

>inb4, why blob into china
Manchu is accepted culture in empire rank bukhara, and the rest is for nice borders

All in all a pretty comfy game lads, forming bukhara as horde gives a fun 50-100 years of horsing around before settling down for big wars against russia and ottoblobs,(they had 3000 development before the last war)

Why even play as Britain?
>>
>>168324103
So I'm playing Kaiserreich as Germany, and I've been attempting to navally invade the Union of Britain for years now. I've been building up marines and transport flotillas, constructing an arsenal of state-of-the-art V1 and V2 Flying Bombs, and gathering a relatively large navy for general purpose protection and shore bombardment. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. It starts out okay, but the invasion falls apart as they gather together more troops to defend with. It's gotten to the point where they're literally the only members of the syndicalist faction left, and they're at war with half the world, but I can't crack them. I've been heavily investing in nuclear and rocket technologies, so I should have nukes right on time (If not early). Should I just wait until then? Feel free to ask any questions needed.

Have you tried playing as norse? It's a lot of fun. That would be the viking age start date. But if you want to do the proper start date 1066, then playing as Norway or any scandinavian nation is really fun.

If not scandinavia, I like bavaria a lot.

I also like spain.

I'm having misgivings about pirating HoI4

I didn't seem to suffer any consequences for pirating the full version of Vic2 after buying the base game, but Vic2 is an old game and HoI4 is a recent release, if lentient authorities would crack down on piracy they'd be more watchful for piracy of recent games.

I just want to play Kaissereich and the Modern Day/Millenium Dawn without paying what's a large sum over here.
