How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, April 17th:
1080 – The King of Denmark, Harald III dies and is succeeded by Canute IV, who would later be the first Dane to be canonized.
1349 – Fall of the Bavand dynasty, and rise of the Afrasiyab dynasty.
1797 – Citizens of Verona begin an unsuccessful eight-day rebellion against the French occupying forces.
1895 – The Treaty of Shimonoseki between China and Japan is signed. This marks the end of the First Sino-Japanese War, and the defeated Qing Empire is forced to renounce its claims on Korea and to concede the southern portion of the Fengtien province, Taiwan and the Pescadores Islands to Japan.
1942 – French prisoner of war General Henri Giraud escapes from his castle prison in Königstein Fortress.

If that lad is still doing a Krakow run, there is an easier strategy:

-Let Russia sphere and ally you
-Declare war on Austria with Russia's help to free Galicia (Preferably around or right before the Hungarian Revolution, it will fail if Austria isn't distracted) Add more wargoals for silesia if you can
-Take decision to annex all of Galicia
-Wait for 1860 Polish Rebellion
-Get a quick CB on congress poland like humiliate, try to occupy it all before Russia can and peace out for 2 polish states, deny Russia military access when you surround CPL and wait (In my run they already had an army through so I later had to take Warsaw through war with Russia, try to deny them it
-Take Warsaw and form Poland

After that it's a matter of destroying Germany and fucking up Russia every time they try to hit you with their shitty units, make sure truces are aligned so they cant both attack you. Dismantling Austria is enough to end that headache but if Italy is weak (like it was in my game) A-H remains pretty strong and can be a headache

Manufactory+Workshop combo does a lot in your chocolate provinces.

If you have cash, but not mana you can build universities in your gold provinces, and get their base production up. I aim for 9 since that gives value even early in the game. You can go higher later in the game, but you usually have more places to spend the mana then anyway.

Are you a femanon? The only reason I ask is because calling someone "a virgin" is up there with mockery of penis length. It's a worthless, emotion-based ad hominem that detracts from your point. Instead of mocking that autist for something you have no idea of, try mocking him for that which you know for sure about him.

There's nothing wrong with it, that's the point.

>>174285564
Not the guy you are replying to, but I brought up the virgin thing originally. Typically I don't use meaningless ad hominem (calling a dude a "virgin" is usually just a way to belittle his manhood and has nothing to do with anything important), but in this case I think it's safe to say that an angry, feminist-hating boy on /gsg/ probably got his mind warped by growing up sexless in a society that equates masculinity with getting laid.

We're Greek Zoroastrians. Cultural borders are a little gorey since I colonized the unaccepted cultural provinces first.

I conquered the provinces in India to rescue the diaspora community of Zorastrians, but I ceded the provinces back since I was fighting the Ottomans and India on two fronts.

do you see mutapa and stuff? if there is someone small enough there you can vassalize, you can vassalize them and then core adjacent provinces to them.

Would also be doable up in mali-land, but I assume you don't see that far up.
>>
>>174285115
raze them and feed them to vassals, then annex vassals. don't be scared of revolts, crush revolts with your horse armies. looting gives horde unity, so make sure to loot provinces after you have taken all the enemies' forts.
you can also annex a high development area (eg tabarestan, multan), raze it, give it back using the return core thing, wait for the truce to expire, raze and repeat until they're all 1/1/1 at which point you can safely core them.

the whole point is not to fall below 50 unity at which point you are utterly fucked unless you get lucky with wars/events, but till then you have fuckyou tier cav and CBs which you use as much as you can till you reform.
>>
>>174288965

I can see Mutapa but not Mali. I also don't start with Feudalism so mass blobbing early game might not be the best thing to do but I can't help it.
>>
>>174289087
>the whole point is not to fall below 50 unity at which point you are utterly fucked unless you get lucky with wars/events,
I think you have some events that are pretty common when you're at that low horde unity that raises horde unity, but they also cost a lot of ducats or prestige and such.

Or that may have been civil war events.
I somehow ended up with like 20-30 horde unity iirc. Maybe even down to single digits. Needed a lot of horde unity to stop the disaster, started by waiting for the events.
Started to strengthen government for the last bit though. Should've probably done that sooner.
>>
>>174289232
I was playing Mutapa not too long ago.
Then I dev'ed for feudalism even, but could've probably waited for it.
As Kongo I definitely would've dev'ed for it. Maybe gotten an early vassal and fed it instead. before I got the institution.

I've been playing in asia near ming since before MoH and they were in the top with ideas, but I assumed that was because they never faced any tech difficulties due to me being near.

Other than that, it's up to you. If MEIOU ever got fixed, you can try that one. Also Steppe Wolf was an okay mod.

None but Magna Mundi and MEIOU are more or less DH tier different games.

Modders figured out Europa engine is bretty good at crunching out numbers per province basis so for instance MM has really bizzare administrative system and MEIOU has coring mechanics.

Also both of them are a bitch when you want to resettle cultures around.

>The 3rd of August, 1951
>British Consulate, 198 Ferdowsi Avenue, Tehran
Some months ago the Americans and Saudi's renegotiated the terms of their oil treaties. Under the new treaty the Americans agreed to split all profits from the Arabian-American Oil Company on a 50-50 basis with the Kingdom of Saud. This is in stark contrast to the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in which the super majority of profits return to London. The oil fields - funded by, built by, and operated by British personnel - were nationalized recently by the new Iranian government under pressure from the National Front. The lose of the oilfields is not only a grievous wound to our re-armament and industrial expansion programmes but its also a victory in the eyes of Moscow who see it as a measure of anti-imperialism and an environment rich to nurture Communism in.

Using our vast influence in the surrounding Gulf and Arab states who's independence we secured along with India we may be able to boycott the Iranian oil market all together forcing them to return the AIOC and it's holdings to it's rightful owners. The Royal Navy could also intercept outgoing shipments which are by right our property.

I am Zyryan. The chief of Khantia was a unlikable man. I personally never knew him well, but I'm told he hid himself away in his long house for days at a time, never showing his face to the world. I asked my fellow villagers, and many said they would be satisfied if I were the Chief instead of him.
A few weeks ago, he was found in his long house, his throat slit and his shockingly bloated body beaten. I am Chief Zyryan of Khantia. For my surname, I chose Khantys. This way I will never forget from whence I came, and what I have done to get to where I am.
I fear my wife;s life may be in danger. I have been told that there are scoundrels seeking to end her life. I believe they may have been sent by my liege, High Chief Nalka. He has been plotting against me since I claimed my chiefdom. And now he's trying to "Organize" us. No doubt it is a ploy through which he plans to claim that which I earned with my own prowess. I must attack him before he manages to get to me, the only question is how.

Should I continue throughout my campaign or nah?

Nalka's armies outnumber mine greatly. As it stands, he is far too strong for me to beat him alone. However, with the help of powerful allies I may be able to defeat him.

Those were the thoughts going through my head when I was approached by someone who turn out to be one of the Cold Ones. I have believed that they have been watching me since childhood, but only now have they revealed themselves. They asked me to join them. I don't want to, of course. However, Nalka will kill my wife (And maybe myself) if I cannot stop him; and their help could be instrumental in removing him from power.

Thus I am now a Cold One. I pray my patron, Lady Lempo, can forgive me. I have doubts, but I believe she will understand me doing what it takes to protect my wife and my tribe. After I am safe, I will find a way to return to the warmth, but until then I must embrace the cold of darkness.

The Cold Ones have proven to be a fun bunch. They're fond of plotting and planning, and they're shockingly well read. During a meeting, I enjoyed the company of a distant High Chief's wife. We discussed a old Greek epic called the Iliad, other than myself, she is the only one I know that has read it. I am glad to say that I now count her among my friends.

The Dark Ones have thus far given me naught but their company. I fear that they have not yet fully welcomed me into the fold. They've asked me to sacrifice a ruler to Chernobag. I believe it's a challenge I must complete before I'm allowed to gain any powers to use against Nelka. Obviously, High Chief Nelka is my first choice for this, but abducting him would prove too difficult. I instead choose a fellow chief, Nydog. He is Nelka's personal champion and a likely supporter of his plot to kill me and my wife.

I've asked my fellow Cold Ones with the task of abducting him, and once they do I will personally cut out his heart in the name of Chernobag. But not before I ask him a few questions regarding Nelka's plans.

In the meantime, I feign friendship with the chiefs of the land. They must not suspect I know of their plans. For if they learn that I plan to eventually usurp and kill High Chief Nalka, they will destroy me.

One of my concubines have become pregnant, I don't believe the child is mine, because I was away at the Cold One's initiation the night the baby was conceived. I hired an investigator to find out who the father was, but he found no evidence that she cheated on me.

Nalka must have seduced her while I was away. I would arrest and execute her now, but having an heir (even if not actually mine) will discourage Nalka from trying to assassinate me. Of course, I will kill her immediately after she gives birth. Then I'll kill the child when I have one of my own

Making a small flavor mod for Jews to actually give them some content. Namely the ability to become the Messiah ala the Saoshyant when playing Zoroastrian Persia. Pic related's a proof of concept of some of the events but there's still a lot of work to do. I'll be happy to upload it once it's done though.

Shit that I still need to do
>add a clause to make it so israel has to be the primary title to avoid arabian cheesing like in the picture
>finish adding required duchies so you have to conquer the entire arabian peninsula from egypt to mesopotamia
>add in a check to make sure that the third temple is built beforehand
>make sure religious authority is high and all holy sites are under control ala mending the schism
>figure out how artifacts work
>once that's done, if possible make it so you need the ark, solomon's seal + maybe a custom ten commandments artifact (surprised they aren't in)
>add events to acquire said artifacts for sure if artifacts are a fucking rng fest
>add a script that boots the messiah into a custom "house of david" dynasty upon being anointed
I'm still figuring a lot of shit out but thankfully the Saoshyant events have provided a damn good foundation and I think I can hijack some scripts from other mods to figure out everything save the artifacts.

That being said, any suggestions as to what the Messiah trait should actually do? Jewish opinion bonus is a given but anything else that would seem "balanced?"

Some other neat stuff would be a Court Jew title for European feudal rulers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_Jew

Their basic function would be to serve as a mediator between the court/ruler and the Jewish moneylenders and communities. A skilled and loyal court Jew should be able to help you reach much better terms on loans, i.e bigger loans with less interest.

They are all dead. Each and every lord of my domain has been slain, either by my own magics or natural illness.
A outing with my cold comrades resulted in a peasant uprising that Nelta lost. This made me realize that he isn't a all powerful dictator, he is just a man. I seduced his wife just for fun. I got past my paranoia, allowing me to plan rationally. My chancellor claimed Nelta's old county. My children helped me secure alliance with the other 2 lords under Nelta. With their assistance, the fight for his Nelta's old county was swift.

Then one of my allies died of disease, Nelta inherited his land. So I abducted Nelta's only son and sacrificed him to my Cold Lord. Then I used dark magics to give him food poisoning. (Which caused his death)
The lord that inherited the Chiefdom was none other than Nydog's imbecile son. (Who was 13 and engaged to my daughter)
I abducted my way through all of his heirs until I was next in line, then I saw to it that he died of rabies.

Thus I am high chief of Yugra. But what do I do from here? I do not believe I can hold my chiefdoms from the tribal hordes, but the only other option is to swear fealty to one.

Honestly, I like Jews a lot. love em, really.

They are a practical people who value education and self-improvement, while squeezing the last drop of value out of everything they can. Friend of mine back in college used to eat entire apples, including the core, the seeds, and the stems. I think of myself as pretty much of a skinflint, but I could never do something like that.

They're survivors, if not necessarily thrivers. Whether or not it's their own innate traits that leads to them being persecuted, they HAVE been persecuted. And yet despite this they have spread to all corners of the globe.

Let me ask you a question, anon. American (?) that you are, how do you think your people would fare if a cataclysmic event drove you from your homes, spread you across the world, diverging you among other populations that soon your groups don't even look like each other anymore? Would even after that, you could still conceive of each other as American? and be able to find common ground and rebuild your society?

Because that's what the Jews did. And now, well, with no lack of help from the gentiles, Jews are now the richest and highest IQ population of people in the world, reclaiming the nation that was lost to them for 2000 years. It is a fantastical success story.

Why hate them?

Playing Russia in Vicky 2. Should I puppetize or conquer Mongolia? Both make for some decent revenge, considering the earlier Mongolian tributes from Russia.

Additionally, should I liberate Scotland or France's cores in Southwest England? (Idk if they start with it, but they have a core on that island off the cost of Normandy that is part of the state.) France regaining their stuff there would be a massive check on Britain's power, allowing us to flood troops in next time war breaks out, but... that fucking ugly as sin border. What do you think?

I didn't, which is why I ultimately went with Scotland. They'll be in my sphere, so I'll use them as the check by stationing armies there to march south.

As for France, I'm going to have to fight them soon to restore Piedmont to Italy. After that, I'll release Two Sicilies to undercut Italy. It's annoying that France doesn't have any releasable nations. I want to cripple them without taking massive portions of their country.

1. I notice you're playing HPM or something. I am playing Vanilla. (I never really got into any of the major mods for Vic2 because any time I ask for a suggestion it's a huge argument.)

2. I allied them literally from the start. The first three wars of the Ottomans trying to retake their cores resulted in me releasing Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria. I wasn't able to punish them for wars 4 and 5, as I was busy taking West Poland (to prevent Germany from ever forming).

I only just recently did a liberate for all of Egypts cores on them and plan to do one more to liberate Armenia, reducing the Ottomans to Kastamonu and Konya (And their North African holdings).

>>174321761
I mean, yeah, they made a very poor showing, but that's because of infinite reasons going back centuries. A failure to develop infrastructure to support their military, caused by an inability to industrialize due to low literacy, caused by a rigid feudal structure, caused by x, caused by y, caused by z, etc. Russia's problems were and are many.

Yeah she was pretty good. Peter I was better though.
>>
>>174322063
Peter tried to do a lot, but the nobility were VERY resistant.

The Emperor in the Vic2 Timeframe was also a reformist. He liberated the serfs and was moving to inustrialize the nation. However, that would utlimately result in his assassination and his heir passed the "Manifesto on Unshakable Autocracy" (A decision in game, actually). Russia ultimately continued in its path of increasing military spending to keep up with the other great powers and the country collapsed underneath it. In game, I can avoid war for like 30 years and set all my military spending to zero. Hell, I can disband my army and navy to fund industrialization. I also don't face such draconian laws as a death sentence for any serf caught owning a book. So, yeah, Russia would've needed a fucking charismatic genius to save it.

>>174322108
Yeah. I would side with this guy>>174322213
that, at the least, Nicholas wasn't a bad guy, just not a strong ruler. If you read his memoirs, he was ecstatic to no longer have to manage the country when the provisional government took charge. If they had made peace with Germany in WWI, I like to think we'd have a HM's Goverment Russia today. Unfortunately, they didn't and the Romanov's were butchered. Whatever you think of their ability as rulers, no loving family deserves that.

>>174322353
I'm not familiar with Catherine herself, but I've cursory knowledge that she was a reformer herself. So make of that what you will.

>>174322342
If you don't mind spending some time typing, I'd like to hear more of what you have to say. While I love history, you get a lot more by talking to people who are there.

But, yeah, I'd argue Putin is doing that and supporting Syria to re-establish the idea that Russia has a sphere. He wants the world to see them as a Great Power again and he knew that Obama was weak enough on the world stage to allow it. 1/2
>>
>>174322520
2/2 I would repeat my statement that the causes go infinitely back. The economy has never been able to keep up because it's basically the US Midwest as the entire country, with towns spread far apart. On top of its geograhpic size making everything harder, it faced periods of economic strife for many reasons; Mongolian Empire demanding tribute (1200-1300's), constantly being behind economically contributing to an inability to fund modernization (forever), WW2 killing a fuckton of their people that would be workforce, Stalin's regime killing massive amounts of people that would be workforce (as well as just his terrible economic policy). [His Five Year Plans incentivized people to report jobs well done to avoid getting their heads cut off even when they failed. This meant shit was done on paper, but not actually done.], and the Soviet Union trying to compete with the US throughout the Cold War meant, once again, their military spending cucked their ability to modernize their economy and give it the economic backing it needed.

No. CA are as bad as Paradox when it comes to incompetence and laziness. The total war series is now seventeen years old and the only tactic you have ever needed is hammer and anvil. The battle ai is retarded and incapable of anything outside of the most basic tactics possible so instead of improving it, they just reshape the mechanics around it to make shitty shallow gameplay in order to hide just how bad their ai is.

Head to /twg/ if you are still interested but be warned that the general is practically one giant circlejerk, not very different to Paradox Plaza.

Mine crashes all the fucking time. It can be a pretty cozy game, though it feels unfinished and pretty shallow in many regards, even though it has good mechanics with lots of potential. It's not really a fun game to lose in; when all is well it's fun, but when you get hit in the dick by a civil war or wardec'd by Rome it feels more frustrating than challenging.

Vanilla game is boring as Paradox left out every barbarian faction so half of the world is just wasteland that you colonise and occasionaly they shit out hostile armies. There's a decent mod that fills in the world but that runs into the problem of cascading alliances that I understand to be a hard coded issue of the engine, so that every minor war eventually engulfs the entire world as each participant calls in their allies, who in turn call in theirs and so on and so forth.

There's a lot of potential there but it's not a very good game.
>>
>>174323581
Recently I got into reading about Hannibal, Caesar, ancient Rome and Alexander the Great's exploits and that made me play it again. The game has many frustrating things like the battles, the populists (if you play a Republic), the non-existent diplomacy, HOWEVER it has 2 things done really well - colonization (barbarians) and the manpower issue. The manpower issue really is the best out of any Paradox games.

It takes time to replenish it and every lost soldier counts. It's not like Europa Universalis where you can replenish your manpower pool in 1 year. It really makes the games more interesting and I hope future Paradox games implement that feature.

Anyway, IMO, the only reason I play it at the moment is because I'm (again) in the mood for some ancient history and adventure and you can't play as Rome, Carthage, Macedonia etc in any other games.

Is Claim Throne ever useful at all? All it seems to do is harm relations with everyone and you can get PUs without it anyway.

Getting PUs without it is too random
>>
>>174327016
I find it is either useful at the very beginning or very end of the game. Either you want that quick boost of power early on or you want to try and squeeze in that one last PU integration right at the end and need to get them sooner than the fucker will die.

>>174326992
By pure luck. You married a heirless King and hope he die and pass the throne to your dynasty and not other fucker who also married with your target. After that, you have to wait for your relative to also die heirless or have low legitimacy and prestige so you can PU them, either naturally or by pike and musket.

It makes me sad that they've just completely abandoned later start dates. There's no point in even bothering with them, and half the time the game is outright broken by using them.
>>
>>174327785
Less than 2% of their players use the later start dates. Of course they don't take care of them.

>>174327885
Yeah, as I said above, it was because no one played them.

And that's because, ultimately, there's not as much game to play if you choose a later start date. Frankly, I think they need to add a "one more year" button or something so that we're not as constrained, but what can we do?

>>
>>174327959
There already is a "one more year" button, you can play as long as you want. The problem is that it's not actually supported since there's no tech or anything and by that point the world looks like Man in the High Castle with three blobs owning everything anyway. Oh and you can't get dank cheevos since you can't play past the end date on Ironman either (unless you exploit the bug that lets you do that)

>cascading alliances
Never had a problem with the alliance cascades. Ally their allies so they can't participate at all, or declare on the strongest enemy in such a way that your target gets called in secondhand and nobody else becomes the war leader.
Name a scenario where this isn't feasible.

>>174329006
You're not alone. It makes no sense because unlike in real life, states will remain bitter rivals for all time and alliances will never shift like they did historically. It also forces some stupid shit to happen that's basically RNG since you can't influence how the AI picks its rivals. And that includes if they rival you.

Rivalries should expire after ten years instead of just being allowed to change.

I think it's fine except when it forces allies to rival one another without any tension between them otherwise.

Why do you say "luthercuck"? It's the opposite of cuck. If anything is cuck then it's Catholism following the papal rules all the time, whereas lutheranism just let's people interpret the bible as they damn please - which lead to secularism, and which is basically being free from the grip of religion.

Got a CK2 question:

Why the hell does my tribal kangdom turn into hereditary aristocratic kingdom upon my current ruler's death?

I'm only in year ~900, I wasn't planning on changing to feudal for many generations.

because your heir is a civilized man with a comfortable castle while your current character is an uncouth barbarian who sleeps in the same house as his cows

Newfag poorfag here, I stumbled upon the concept of grand strategy games recently and got EU3:DW since it was the best combination of easy to find and download, relatively low learning curve (according to a 5 minute google search), and most importantly that I could actually run on my toaster of a laptop since I apparently can't run any incarnation of EU4. Since I've picked it up, I've played a few saves as the teutonic order, minamoto, the aztecs, brandenburg, and sweden, each lasting for around 100 years give or take. Currently on frankfurt, trying to see how far I can take them just by blitzing towards tech with an emphasis on being small and economic and avoiding other people's wars. Maybe when I have 10+ tech levels over absolutely everyone else I'll just steamroll them so that even if the emperor bitches about it, he can't stop me. Haven't decided yet.

The thing is, I haven't slept well in like 5-6 weeks. I used to get like 10 hours a night, now I wake up, open my laptop and load my save again, play for around 15-20 hours straight before I get too tired to continue, then wake up and do it again. The actual time I wake up and fall asleep varies and is dismissive, and I end up eating whenever I actually notice I'm hungry rather than on a semi-regular pattern. I don't even give any mind to my other hobbies anymore and my backlog has not only been not touched, I'm not even keeping tabs on what should go in it.

I have NEVER been sucked into a game like this before. is it just because it's a new genre for me, am I maybe a little autistic, or is this just norrmal for new people trying to overcome the learning curve? Regardless, I figure I'll lurk here for a while and hopefully absorb something useful, if only just perspective. Just from browsing this thread, it seems like this community has a decent learning curve too.

Stormfags and /pol/fags (and now /gsg/faggots always spouting white and based, blobbing germany and wanting to kill Israel at autistic simulators. fuck you) are the best example of subhumans in human society today. You have stunningly low intelligence. You are all psychopaths and sociopaths. You are so susceptible to confirmation bias and delusion that when someone insults you as an individual for being mind-blowingly stupid, all you can think of is your epic jew memes and spout MUH GOY.

Rest assured that if 100% of you were not busy confined to a basement somewhere masturbating to cartoons, society would not tolerate your existence. Now get moving on dying in your 40s of heart disease you worthless sack of subhuman shit.

>Austria has had a number of their existing events modified and can now also get new events relating to Hungary if they should come to control the country. Most importantly the advance of the Turks event now gives Austria permanent claims on Royal Hungary and Hungary itself is more likely to elect Hunyadi candidates to their throne, severely hurting relations with the Austrian monarchy.
So there goes the 3 PU by 1500, and rather than have 3 hungarian tags, hapsburg land, rebel land and ottoman land, you justt conquer lands rather than becoming kang of hungary

This is great and all, but Paradox, how about reflect reality and have Michael the Brave of Wallachia, unite Walalchia, Moldavia and Transylvania between 1599 and 1600? Also, Why is the culture in Transylvania not Romanian? They were the majority ethnics for as long as records go back for. There is no such ethnicity as Transylvanian. In reality the Romanains were the majority but were not ''accepted culture'' in the Hungarian Kingdom and only got their rights as a concession granted by the Germans after the 1848 Revolt in Transylvania lead by Avram Iancu. Also, John Hunyadi, he is of Romanian ancestry and remains a Romanian national hero to this day. Transylvania, as you should be well aware if you researched it at all, was a fully autonomous voievodat and not an integral part of Hungary. It had almost the status of Scotland/ Wales in the UK. If you are going to do this, please do it right.. Also, Moldavia was a tributary state to the Ottomans in 1444 and only acknowledged Poland as suzerain in 1459 but with the help of the Hungarians and Ottomans, overthrew the Polish in 1497. In short, Moldavia was independent (- the tribute) and only under Polish suzerainty for 38 years, between 1459-1497. Moldavia should start as a fully independent nation in 1444 with the exception of paying tribute to the Ottomans. Please fix it. Thank you :D
