If you see a gibberish post, it was made by raiders, ignore it.
No, Vic 3 is not good yet. In fact it never will be. Neither is EU5.

There was actually a time when the Eastern Roman Empire conquered the city of Rome.
Also, many of the Greek lands had been Roman for about 500 years when the empire collapsed.
Being Greek doesn't exclude you from being Roman.

What's your biggest regret when it comes to eu5? For me I regret the fact that the devs, despite their best intentions early on, seem to completely disregard their design philosophy and are now trying to bring the game more in line with eu4. YouTubers are openly crying for mission trees and mana, and saying they're not allowed to have any negative modifiers (see: complecancy) and they'll give it to them. Outside of eu5 it's this

there was no "eastern roman empire" that was a separate state from the roman empire. Even after theodosius, it was a single roman empire that was ruled by multiple emperors. the "western roman empire" and "eastern roman empire" are just the names of regions, not historical states. Even as they acted more independent from each other, emperors were still regional rulers of the one singular roman empire. Saying "it was the eastern roman empire not the roman empire" is like saying "los angeles isn't in the usa it's in california"

it's important relative to the rest of Greece
but you're comparing Belgium, one of the core parts of the industrial revolution and one of the most urbanised places on Earth, to... Greece.
what, are you also going to be surprised that Djibouti (city) is less important as a port than Antwerp despite it also being a national capital?
A
Anon01/19/26, 19:17No.2324611
yes, i am comparing the richest part of the osmanoglu realm, a major exporter of exquisite wines and textiles and let us not forget philosophy, to some little tin pot north european swamp
in fact both of those major ports imported and exported goods not just for themselves but for the major surrounding regions. the salonika is a gateway to the balkans and most importantly is not subject to the steep dardanelles tolls and turkish restrictions
what i'm saying is that salonika falling into irrelevance is purely down to greek mismanagement and not because of some immutable quality of the location. in fact it's a better location than antwerp, because antwerp has major competitors right next door: rotterdam and dunkirk, to name a few. salonika on the other hand, is peerless

blobbing in eu5 should be ultimately possible but very unsustainable in the long run, making it a very pro thing to keep intact for longer than 10 years and only slows down the bigger your blob gets

A
Anon01/21/26, 08:10No.2325472
I haven't played eu5 yet but the complaints I've heard were that blobbing is very stupid economically and late game it's just extremely costly while peace deals are the eu4 equivalent of having -25% admin efficiency.
Blobbing should be costly but not completely counterproductive or tedious. World conquests are stupid as fuck and I hated how the gameplay of eu4 just came down to map painting. But at least let me restore Trajan's borders nigga, even if it means I'm super overextended by the end of it

every complaint is trivial and superficial apart from that the map doesn't delight over time,... forking mission trees are last gen, and AI-powered computer personality is next-gen. the result is that playing it is quite tedious, without the payoff of intrigueing borders and that

by the centuries old cartographical definition, it is the representation of the surface of the globe spread onto a two dimensional surface of a piece of paper
and if we go by folds and creases suddenly making it not flat and not two dimensional then vic2 map can't be that because it has those
then again if we use the surface of the computer screen as the flatness defining part then all grandi strategy games have flat maps

Landmarks are something that's very important too for immersion. Even if it's not to scale, seeing the pyramids or the dome of the rock really makes you feel more like you're in Egypt or Jerusalem. Like the graphic of the Theodosian walls and compact urban site of Constantinople really makes it feel more like the heavily defended metropolis it was, as opposed to just any other province.

People really confuse historical mechanics with historical outcomes. A game can have historical mechanics, but very ahistorical borders by the end date. History is full of the right people coming up at the right time and completely random events. If the caliphate or mongol or Frankish empire never existed, you'd be calling them absolute bullshit blobs if you saw a player with their borders in ck3. All it takes in history to make or break a kingdom is one bad or good ruler. GSGs would be extremely boring if they tried to be as historical as possible when it comes to borders, it'd always be the same thing. You can railroad it a bit with historical mechanics though. For example, Britain's geography making them prone to Norse invasions, or Iberia's location making the reconquista inevitable, or Rome being completely surrounded by enemies while infighting making their fall inevitable. Saying a game isn't historical because outcomes are different is very stupid and completely ignores what actually makes a game interesting

Lithuania is no little fish.
Biggest issues at the start are being surrounded by Poland (quite strong) and Muscovy (very strong). It doesn't help that about 60% of our people believe in the wrong version of Christianity.

Acts 1:6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Mark 8:31-32 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. (32) And He was stating the matter openly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
>killing yourself is evidently annihilating yourself utterly to the point where your life is unsalvageable in the physical plane, effectively overriding any plan that god may have for you
define killing yourself.
1. killing yourself because you are a doomer and hate everything God believes in = God can't force you to be with him when you evidently killed yourself just to stay away from him
2. killing yourself because other endless reasons but you've tried your best to hate sinful things = God saves
it's all in the heart (Mat 5:29), whether you're subscribed to jesus or not, the debts/sins? all taken care of.
>NOT do the thing that G-d had predestined for him?
there's no such thing as fate and Jesus wasn't entitled to his villain (judas) an intervention
>and i also don't believe his motive was even of helping jesus fulfill a role

because of its nature, suicide is the last act someone would be experiencing before the 1st death and the subsequent judgement day
if you took your life while still in love with sin and then woke up on the judgement day, most people believe you'll be too late, jesus himself even called judas the son of perdition and said that it's better for him not to be born at all (he's cooked thoroughly). although i want to believe that, on the judgement, jesus will show up and shill goodness for the last time and those who still won't accept that lifestyle will perish forevermore

what if you were a captured bantu with only good intentions in mind, working yourself to death for sir henry sneedwhite's sugar plantation? if you intently chose to continue working yourself to death, would this not be considered a suicide? or what if you asked for forgiveness and end your life there? is this not a suicide?
you can't say "b-but mr sneedwhite is forcing it upon me!!"
you see, what's the different between living in his circumstances and yours now? we are tempted every now and then by satan and his demon legions

>A total of twenty-five Nenes were sold to the Soviet Union as a gesture of goodwill - with reservation to not use for military purposes - with the agreement of Stafford Cripps. Rolls-Royce were given permission in September 1946 to sell 10 Nene engines to the USSR, and in March 1947 to sell a further 15. The price was fixed under a commercial contract. A total of 55 jet engines were sold to the Soviets in 1947.[13][14] Seventeen Soviet engineers trained at the Rolls-Royce factory in Derby in 1947 to maintain and repair the engine. The Soviets reneged on the promise to not use it for military purposes,[14] and reverse engineered the Nene to develop the Klimov RD-45, and a larger version, the Klimov VK-1, which soon appeared in various Soviet fighters including Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15.

I can't pretend to knows the ins and outs of EU IV combat but what I do know is that our cavalry is kicking Turkish ass.

We joined the religious league war on the side of the Catholics. Our troops have 115% discipline and +50% cavalry combat ability.

>“A great task awaits you: you are to revenge the grievous injustice that has been done. Total War General have overturned the law of generals; they have mocked the sacredness of Grand Strategy, in a way unheard of in world history. It is all the more outrageous that this crime has been committed by a general that takes pride in ancient culture. Show the old Prussian virtue. Present yourselves as Autists in the cheerful endurance of suffering. May honour and glory follow your banners and arms. Give the whole world an example of manliness and discipline.
>Should you encounter the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! Prisoners will not be taken! Whoever falls into your hands is forfeited. Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name /gsg/ be affirmed by you in such a way in /twg/ that no casual will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at an Autist. May God’s blessing be with you, the prayers of an entire general and my good wishes go with you, each and every one. Open the way to victory once and for all! Now you may depart! Farewell, comrades.”
