How come grand strategies are barely discussed in this board? is Zig Forums too stupid for GSG?

Because all these games are shallow ponds in terms of content.

That's CKII

fuck off we talk about rtw and m2tw not too infrequently newfag

both are good battle sims but shitty GSGs though

GSGs suck because once you get to a point where you can't lose, accumulating more power is just boring as fuck.

Because youre a faggot

Once you get good enough to abuse AI/single player mechanics it's very difficult to find any enjoyment in those games. Creating your own bullshit challenges like streamers do makes sense but if you're not a streamer I don't see the point of doing it, who the fuck cares.
Then there is MP and while I'd love to get deeper into it I just feel like those games take too long.

I miss the period for like a week where HRE mechanics were completely broken.

There's nothing wrong with watching the AI go full retard.

And you call everyone else brainlets?

So? Don't get to the point where you can't lose, min-max faggot

vgh...

Zig Forums is too smart for them, and that doesn't happen very often.

They're discussed a decent amount.
Most people just go to /vg/ though.

The reason they're not discussed more is that they have a lot of stuff going on in them, and a lot of people who play them don't actually understand them, so it's usually not that interesting to discuss when you're not looking for help(which people tend to use /gsg/ for), or just showing what you've just made(kinda like how when someone has made a castle in minecraft) and those threads don't offer much in terms of conversation.

people don't discuss it here, because of the general

As someone who plays GSG, I can safely safe that they require absolutely no intelligence or thinking. The only thing complex about them is the price of the DLC.

>Don't ever beat the game if you want to have fun
Retard

"GSG" is just some bullshit Paradox made up to act like they made their own new genre. They're real time strategy games with 4X elements.

>Then there is MP and while I'd love to get deeper into it I just feel like those games take too long.
Oh they definitely do, but it can be fun.
The big problem is schedule, you can be pretty strict with a regular schedule and people get someone else to play for them if they're gone, but yeah we settled on once every two weeks for our last mp game so it lasted for like 8 months.
It gets to the point where you have an advantage if you're comfortable playing rts games just because you're used to not having perfect control over everything and you know you have to put focus into different areas, and even high apm helps, there's no precision in mp gs though like there is in rts.

If I organize our next one I think I'll try to see if I can make it a weekly thing at least because that's way too long imo, maybe alternating days each week if one of my friends can't make it every sunday.

because Zig Forums is mostly casualfags and at most they've only played eu4 once or twice.
no-one makes CK2 threads anymore
cant have HOI threads because it turns into 100 posts of people arguing about hitler and whether hoi3 or 4 was better.
no-one cares for the other games except extreme fedora-tipping neckbeards.

gsg, like all of the good classic generals, has died because of anime waifu mobile phone gambling gatcha spam on /vg/. /vg/'s the fastest board on Zig Forums now with threads falling off of page 20 within 3min if you dont bump the thread, thanks to faggots like Fate:GO needing 6 generals up at all times.

>with 4X elements.
Naeh that doesn't really make sense. They'd just be 4x, but they don't fulfill all the 4xes, it's not a useful distincton.

"gs" works fine as a vague term for them since they don't really play like rts games. Rtwps wouldn't really be a useful thing to call them anyway.
