/gsg/ - Grand Strategy General

I just tried it for the first time. I don't like it at all; I can't even play the game. The resolution is fucked up in a way where the screen cuts off something. In the beginning of the game I have to make decisions and there is a part where all the options are cut out and I can't choose anything, let alone read what they say. And between the question and the choices, there is a huge 10-inch space of nothing but blank.

And no, you can't move the window to see the options like you can in normal Hearts of Iron (not that paradox were dumb enough to list options 10 inches away from the question)

I'm trying different resolutions to try to find something that will work for me. I wouldn't have minded this if it didn't take so long for the game to start

seems like i fixed the problem by turning the resolution to the max

Just spent the day playing it. I don't like it at all; they complicate things way more than it needs to be. You want to research x? Here's a list of 50 requirements before you do that. The transition from "X requires minimum level of 3 Y" to

"One of the following must be true:

all must be true:

Z less than level 1

Q at least level 3

F at least level 2

One of the following must be true:

all must be true

Z less than level 2

Q at least level 4

F at least level 3

….

and it keeps going on and on and it eats up the entire screen, leading me to not be able to comprehend all these 50 if/else statements at once

So right off the bat the technology tab ruined the game for me. Also some other things bothered me such as having to choose between something or another that wasn't like this in vanilla. If you play as a minor nation, you have the option to lower your neutrality from the start since it is very boring to sit around with 9 IC from 1936 until whenever the game ends without ever fighting or joining a faction or handing out IC to another country. In black ice, you have to choose between lowering your neutrality (which takes like 1000 of your supplies away which I needed since I only have 1027 and was in the red) and some other choices such as gaining a research bonus without penalty.

And lastly, a lot of these national decisions are stupid and it is usually better to not click any of them rather than to get negative of something without anything in return

Hey cuck, your supplies doesn't matter if you aren't at war as far as I'm concerned. Lower your neutrality, when it gets to a comfortable level, use your IC and purchase some to murder people nearby.

Regarding techs, that's only for one tree, It's fine.

Just research the basic tactics, infantry, maybe a shit, and the digging in shit. You'll be alright lad.

i can't even research industrial production without having the right country flags (whatever that means) or being at war. this mod is being fucking retarded and i think i would rather go back to vanilla. the "have the right flag" just crosses the line. it shouldn't be impossible for the USA to build fucking factories

>>4541

i found out what to research to be able to construct industrial capacity, the only problem now is that the button to build it is missing from the production tab

there's division, flotilla, air wing, convoy, escort, that fist thing, and nuke button, but they deleted the industrial capacity button

>>4543

You can still build it directly by clicking the factory button in the province menu.

Unless your mod is broken, it worked just fine for me.

I hate how they didn't add something to make it so you don't have to build IC for every single province 1 at a time. Buiding factories for the USA and SU is a fucking pain in the ass just because you have to click every single province. There needs to be an Auto factory build or something.

Like what EU4 had.

Same thing with Infrastructure. Such a pain being East Asia or Russia when half your provinces send zero supplies through them and you have to click on every single one and hold I to fix that.

does morale stack? say i raise my troops morale by 10% and buy troops from germany that have 30%. would the 30% be raised to 40% or no? i don't think so, but i was just wondering

>>4592

As of 0.8, there's national decision that places heavy indistrial capacity in highly indistrialized provinces, potentialy earning you as much as 25 extra IC. It also gives you some bonus to supply production, but I still don't think it's worth it.

Should I just spam carriers or do battleships have their place?

Is there a way I can buy landing crafts/assault ships in black ICE? I cannot believe they disabled that
