yea ck2 is greatjagged0 said:
@commander_zoidberg you should try hoi3, and given your knowledge also other strat\tact games, even much more detailed
Only own HoI4 because I just started dwelling in grand strategy.

CK2 is life. CK2 is love. Forcefully marry that attractive cousin and have some albino, cleft lipped babies. Xwedodah is the only way, bruddahs.
HoI4 is fun too. And Stellaris. And Mount and Blade.

Gay leaders are OP as fuck. Since there's no "third rail for the failed male" option, you get a minor general opinion malus, but the ability to seduce other fags for a +150 opinion. If the pope is a fag too, you become a god.

@Jockcel
this shall be the first game I talk about, truly fun strat game, military oriented
in this game as in every paradoxgrandstrat you can play as whatever nation you want on the entire world, it has a steep learning curve though
in this specific game the best playthrough I had were with axis italy, axis argentina and axis finland
I won the ww2 with italy one time, ended up executing sealion alone
playing with italy is superfun because:
1 mid power
2 critical geo position, full of opportunities
3 starting at war
4 access to sf
5 supereasy to join the axis
6 alt-history experimentation at its fullest imo
sadly there's a bug never fixed within the game : if turkey join axis too soon, barbarossa goes completely wicked, gamebreaking stuff
this is why I suggest you pay attention if you wanna play with axis turkey or the likes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will report some of my playthroughs, which one you wanna see?

@Solitarian_Walker it's fun to harass the rus with finland
as a gift to finnishcels I shall talk a bit about what I have done with finland
the game starts in 1936, finland is not axis
the main challenge is right around the corner: soviets claim the southern resource-rich regions, they aren't powerful but there's no way for finland to win, my main goal was to exploit the terrain ( snow , lakes, rivers ) to let their advance stagnate at chokepoints
obviously the initial forces are almost all militia, but the defensive bonus offers some kind of hope
my initial moves have been:
1 align immediately full force with the axis
2 reorganize the Order Of Battle, appoint commanders as much as possible
3 economic deals for resources to start pumping my Industrial Capacity
4 starting production to get the Practice going
for the armies , my goal was to form standard anti-soviet divisions before war declaration, which I failed and got caught imprepared
at the war-start I had mostly militia groups and some infantry with poor equipment
so I managed to rush a bit the acquisition of GER licenses, initially infantry, engineers and artillery ( a bit )
nontheless, the soviets, after an initial stalemate of pointless exchanges, unleashed massive ART at my poor lines, big losses
the winter war ended as expected: soviets won and took their claims ( to be continued )
@ironcrusher38 I played also as turkey ))

panzerfury said:
yes but they associate with bad traits and events plus they are useless, have fun when all your relatives are gayfags
ok so then thing get really interesting
I warmed up for barbarossa: infantry divisions with uptodate equipments through GER licenses, couple of AT units, new engineers, transporters ( for my planned move )
aligned to axis + political manouvers
now, the big plan is this: be prepared to join barbarossa at the right time, retake the lost territories, help GER and make the badass move I always wanted to experiment
this img shows what the situation looked like when I joined barbarossa
the important battles happened in the south-east, my north-east front was almost uninvolved until I decided to push there ( the soviets sent some units but nothing major )
now, I already knew from experience that if the GER executed barbarossa well, they would have reached their main targets in right time ( leningrad, moscow, stalingrad ), but the game , albeit starting historically and developing historically more often than not, still manages to surprise the player with alt-history, indeed in this specific circumnstance the soviets managed to make an heavy and successfull counterattack in the north : the GER were forced to retreat and all my attempts to avoid this were failures, I lost all my elite divisions while confronting the bear alone...
still the army group center was successfull and eventually the rus redirected their forces, clearing the north of their presence
while the operations were concentrated in the centre, I took advantage of the situation and pushed south with new divisions ( mostly infantry ), only resistance was in the cities garrisoned
tbc
so it's time for my plan
preparation: transports ready, marines brigades through licenses ( don't remember if jap or ita )
-I didn't talk about tech, the only ones I actively research as finland are the inf related ones-
execution: first wave of marines ( amphibious assault ) directly against the city, eventually option of encirclement if things go wrong ( this is super-risky ), after the capture I shall repair the port and take care of supplies
goal: threat soviets with encirclement, forcing them to divert enough divisions to ease the advance of axis in the east
Now, timing is everything. My power is negligible, I cannot sustain any serious fight against the bear. My initial approach is obviously through intelligence : the city is lightly garrisoned and not linked to any hq. Nice.
One can argue "what about naval?", no problem. The northern rus navy was concentrated in the baltic, only a submarine patrols the arctic.
The central command is located in murmansk ( army group HQ ), from there my transports ( normal ships not amphibious vessels ) will travel to the target.
All is ready. The eastern front is a clusterfuck of giant battles , GER seems unable to breakthrough the new heavy armoured RUS divisions, their manpower is beginning to drop. Time to help them.

ok, a couple of punctualizations before continuing
HOI3 is a very fun game once you overcome the initial difficulties, it may give you the input to try to grasp the struggles ww2 commanders had to face;granted there are other games much more detailed than it eh.
In order to start, I suggest you to choose some small nation, you shall learn the basics this way. Stay away from the main conflict for as long as it takes. The game is military oriented, everything is done as a function to enhance your military endeavours.
The most fun thing is also the uniqueness of this game: the makeup of your armies. You can experiment ad libitum with no limits everything you wanna come up with, e.g.: what about creating a division of 2 light armor\1 eng\1 motorized inf to exploit quickly a valuable position in a difficult terrain? Do it and see how it pans out.
The layers of complexity go deep into technology and research: constant struggle between attack and defense, new tactics, etc.
Alt-history is superfun: I played as australia, aligned to axis and helped japan ( until USA invaded me ).
Also there's a based community of modders.

ok let's go on
lol this image is just a dream, as finland I will never achieve that , my goal is much more modest
ATTACK
I timed the offensive at dawn to maximize the efficacy and minimize attrition. Weather is good.
The blueprints of the licenses are still good, but my infantry is behind anyway.
Sadly all goes wrong: the garrison are tough, the city has a fortification and no matter my preparation my marines suffer unacceptable losses. Time to switch to plan b: beachead plus encirclement. Now, time becomes critical : my intelligence estimates a time-window just sufficient to take the city before the arrival of soviet reinforcements, against which I cannot compete.
The manouver goes smooth, city is encircled and sieged, supplies are cutoff. I cannot pretend to attack it decisively so I resort to minor but constant initiatives in order to break the garrison. As soon as attrition kicks in, it's over for them.
these guys did toratora a bit later than usual
For my plan the focus is on the axis arkhangelsk-moscow, the infrastructure is generally poor but there is a main viable direction I will take advantage of if I can ( in the game you can build things but it requires time ).
While the siege proceeds, I continue transporting troops: I built the basic port level in both the coastal territories that surround the city, supply-flow is good, obviously I cannot sustain any big contingent until I take the city.
RUS units start to move towards my positions, seemingly regular infantry. It will take them a while to reach me.
The army group center has done successfull spearhead manouver and captured vyazma.

ok, this is the end of finnish campaign
Arkhangelsk falls after stiff resistance. Now I can proceed with the second phase: repair infra+inject the second wave of troops.
RUS , as usual, have seemingly infinite manpower, no matter what disastrous losses they take...
GER, as predictable, will never force the bitter peace without capturing moscow, and that won't happen without major struggle around the capital ( this is something that in my experience always happens ).
this is a table I can only dream of as finland
GER captured stalingrad, finally
Back to my thing. My force consists of mostly regular infantry homemade plus 4 brigades of marines licensed and 2 AT brigades. Pretty poor but sufficient to achieve my goal.
this is what often happens to italy if I don't take care of it
Ok. Now it's early '43, all is ice, all is blocked. I set up my troops on the defensive to deal with the incoming soviet vanguard.
Minor exchanges take place, minimal losses. The infra is so poor they cannot outmanouver me. After 10 days more or less, the enemy exhausted its offensive capacity and resorted to stand still. I harass it in order to keep it down.
I keep an eye on the army group centre and I decide to make my move earlier than planned, for I already smell disaster.
Taking advantage of the only directory possible ( the axis arkhangelsk-moscow, with acceptable infra ), I start moving south.
But my intel is limited: I cannot evaluate properly the strenght of the enemy in the region. All I see are question marks. I make a gamble.
Sooner than expected, a powerful soviet division pops up from the southwest: light tanks and upped motorized inf. I must alt my advance, dig in and wait.
Then their airforce, which I thought was completely broken, starts targeting my positions. I have no AA, but usually such strikes, if not sustained, are a minor issue. Instead , they pester me wave after wave with those damned Pe-8, which surely have enhanced tactics. My troops are already battered before the land battle starts. If not for the air intervention I would have probably won against that soviet force but now I am just pinned down. Battle lost, retreat eh, but obviously I am not motorized so I got annihilated.
The day after, arkhangelsk is surrounded by the enemy. They cannot retake it but I cannot move. My IC is shit. Operation fails.
Before quitting I,as usual, speed up the time to check what happens: in this case, GER loses the initiative. Over.

choose between
1 australia
2 italy
3 turkey
4 switzerland
5 argentina
6 south africa
I love them even though I suck at them. CK2 especially is one of those games that you can play to cope with your shitty life by RPing as a powerful nobleman with a cute wife. I also dig all the political backstabbing.
I've only played the 4th one, is 3 better?
