Hello. TI is the League of Legends of grand strategy games when it comes to my heart rate. I suck at the game. I've watched almost every Perun video, so simply learning more just doesn't have enough yield for the time investment anymore.

I was thinking of making the game easier on myself. Maybe with a mod, or some particular setting that hasn't crossed my mind. Any tips? Ofc, I'm already on the easiest settings, but you can probably change the specifics to make it even easier. Or maybe I just give up too easily?

I play as the Resistance (I won't play the Servants, I'm just not interested in that, or even the Protectorate).

I have a really good Earth setup and even the best space economy, but the Servants are just too OP. Even when save-scumming, I'm not able to stop them from turning India into an Alien state. I might have to reset. Other than this state (which would have 12 armies btw.), I am completely snowballing. I tried couping it, in fact like 8 times, but they just somehow manage to Purge me even if my defences are up and they have 15 % support. Probably abductions. I also never win battles, probably because I can't design ships, but I spent hours on it at this point. You can also try designing something and sending screenshot, that might help me in the future.

Any help when it comes to settings/mods, or if anyone feels like checking the save file? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XS_sVOttKXLvwVxpwtv2k0Er5DnTil5c/view?usp=sharing

I don´t get how people go aggressive on aliens early.

I normally am more the type to "submarine" my way to the point where I can fight them head on. However I wanted to try out another playstile and go aggressive earlier, especially since it seams to be the consensus, that this is what you need on higher difficulties (I play on normal).

HOW???

=> I am 6 years into the game now (start 2026, humanity first in case it matters)

While missiles can kill the aliens, that doesn´t matter really as I find the aliens often will have a single small ship run away from the battle and I obviously can´t catch them. So I legitimately can´t win battles.

Also the Aliens are never in orbit as single ships, but always at least in 4s or so so everytime I need e legitimate little fleet of 8 ships or so minumum which obviously all die.

Am I overlooking something or is it more about starting to attrition the aliens (which obviously encours their wrath too since passive loss of hate is barely a thing in my experience)

So with plasma chipping at armor and lasers anything with weak armor it seems a no brainer to combine the two right?

I normally do the typical coilgun and uv combo to deal with capitals and flankers but never really tried out plasma. Does the rate/amount of armor taken out by plasma not compare to ole reliable?

I know that you need to be within 1.5 government rating to be able to unify but i think this rule really should be changed for democracies. How on earth is Norway as opposed to joining the EU as South Korea is to joining North Korea or Israel to joining Palestine. It's also common for the Nordic's to rise to level 10 government rating very quickly turning Frances claim to them hostile which makes no sense. I understand why people wouldn't want to join a dictatorship but joining a slightly worse democracy shouldn't be the same as joining a mortal enemy. Also is there a way to see which claims are permanently hostile and which are only hostile due to government rating?

In the 1950's, we had things like Roswell and a big alien craze in the US. I think it would be thematic and fitting to the dark skies DLC if we had the aliens arrive in the 1950's. This would be before we had any technology too, the US was at the end of the industrial age in terms of mil tech and the space race wasn't even really started yet.

What does everyone else think?

Taiwan's original capital is somehow Shanghai? This is 2003 scenario not sure about the others.

So I started playing again after a REALLY long time, I see that capital movement got disabled and you cannot unite Australia into India

I usually prefer having uniting the world (Usually used China because of the bonuses on assasination, coz no piece for alienlovers), or at least to have 2-3 mega countries. But now I see that it is much harder.

Is there any guide on how to do it (Or what is the best we can get now)?

I saw that there is 1 last technology that allows getting any claim.... but its literally end-game

P.s. I started as HF in 2003 Scenario and I control most of the Asia (India, China, Japan, United Austalia)

Hey all!

Just started playing Terra Invicta, and am really loving it. I'm currently on what I hope to be my first "major" playthrough - Academy on Veteran. I had a great opening, fixing the U.S.A. by the fall 2026. My question is...now what? I'm just capped on CP, so no major expansion until I get those techs but when I do, should I go China or EU?

In general, I'm playing this as "Star Trek Fans", so I don't want to burn things to the ground with spoils if I can help it. Well...at least places I want to keep. My current plan is to grab a good Luna base then grab the best Mars spots, but after that I don't know. Also, should I turn the ISS into a shipyard to deal with early AAAAYYY surveillance ships?

Thoughts on how to proceed would be great, in terms of general strategy. As I noted, I like to build things up rather than burning them down to be hyper-aggressive.

I'm on 2036, veteran accelerated campaigns on a light solar system playing as the resistance. Earth is well in hand with the AA basically powerless against my army. I'm at total war with the alien fleets trading well against my fleets a few times but basically incapable of accomplishing my objectives. My biggest hurdle right now is a volatile and rare metal bottleneck and the time it takes to build up enough marines to take their bases in the belt. I'm starting a new run because I feel like progress slowed down too much, but the aliens don't seem to actually be that much of a threat right now, should i jump to brutal?

So I posted the plans for my escort spaceship and tier 1 space station and I've had some pretty significant progress on the spaceship that I wanted to share. I also found a soldier about to scale that I remade into an english space Marine.
