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/? Today in history: 1809 – The second day of the Battle of Eckmühl: The Austrian army is defeated by the First French Empire army led by Napoleon and driven over the Danube in Regensburg. 1836 – Texas Revolution: A day after the Battle of San Jacinto, forces under Texas General Sam Houston identify Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna among the captives of the battle when some of his fellow soldiers mistakenly give away his identity. 1864 – The U.S. Congress passes the Coinage Act of 1864 that permitted the inscription In God We Trust be placed on all coins minted as United States currency. 1876 – The first National League baseball game is played at the Jefferson Street Grounds in Philadelphia. 1889 – At noon, thousands rush to claim land in the Land Rush of 1889. Within hours the cities of Oklahoma City and Guthrie are formed with populations of at least 10,000. 1898 – Spanish–American War: President William McKinley calls for 125,000 volunteers to join the National Guard and fight in Cuba, while Congress more than doubles regular Army forces to 65,000.

when did gsgs stop being fun
when you realize every game is just a mindless blobbing sim 3000 with very little interesting tall gameplay

Any advice for a brainlet who keeps getting filtered by CK2? I can understand EU4 just fine but I can't wrap my head around a game where you're supposed to accumulate power without necessarily blobbing.
>>4631 Can you get more specific Anon? As for not blobbing, you want to marry kinsfolk - characters of your dynasty - into important lineages, in the hopes of them - hence your dynasty - inheriting titles. For this purpose use gifts, persuasion, assassinations, and if need-be wars to get them on the throne. Also, use matrilineal marriages, that was a pretty easy way of getting my dynasty on the throne if I remember right.
>>4635 Thanks anon, that actually helps a lot. Tutorial videos explain a lot about how to actually do that but they always seem to skip over why I would want to, and you spelled it out very clearly. So it basically sounds like the royal marriage --> personal union mechanic from EU4 x100.
>>4631 I mean, to a certain extent blobbing is a pretty important part of accumulating power. If you want to be a filthy metagamer acquire provinces along the Silk Road that have trade posts and keep them for your personal demesne. Alternatively, find a small kingdom and hold all of its de jure counties yourself while stacking tons of cities inside those counties. You can build up a tiny duchy with a ton of castles and have a pretty powerful personal levy, but money is far more useful. It s used on mercenaries, retinues, and buildings which earn you more money.
ck2 really only works if you played it a decade ago it's not for newebonics just go play ck3
what a retarded fucking statement I started playing ck2 for the first time in 2023 you have to be so braindead to think that unironically

What happened to /gsg/? It was my favorite general with the best jokes!
yeah the "best jokes" like the same 3 image macros of "look @ dis wite boi playing games" and insulting campaign posters when they don't play perfectly and demotivating campaign posters from posting.
Can I post my hard right wing XCOM 2 created characters here?
