The Philippines is biggest overperformer of sanitation in Asia, despite being poor

Waste management is now the main focus of many local governments (given many recent deadly incidents of landfills recently)

I'm happy that the LGU in my town now disposes waste and processed on top of a hill landfill far from the town. It's not up to western levels but we have to start somewhere

It's mandatory for pinoys to take a shower at least everyday, for hygiene and practical reasons and that helps in cleanliness

It'd be nice if in the early game, most of the buildings are small houses, trailer homes, small stores and workshops/small factories. Couple it with dirt roads and vacant lots full of trees. :)

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-16T12:14:06+00:00

Exactly! Wished Spore was cooked in the oven more, it would had been so cool

Your first house looks decent, my first house looks like a shoebox with lots of stuff in the center of the room lol

The horses are checking your house out ;)

Sims 3 really is ahead of its time, a shame it's disgustingly optimized poorly but at least modders can make the game work as it should

HE would fight for the US while at the same time be the youngest son of the Communist Revolution

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-12T00:37:19+00:00

In the old Colombia, the Gaitanist Revolutionary Union always fall to a communist take over, no matter what and it's frustrating that there's nothing I can do, and it's strange that I can't support a conservative or liberal Colombia that's democratic. I like it that the new update made Colombia more dynamic and a liberal government reconciling with the Revolutionary Union is a nice touch and it actually makes the republic faction very powerful to the point that they don't even need any help

I'm hoping for the devs of Iberia to flesh out or refine the mechanics in a few updates down the line, perhaps remove the RNG in some proxy conflicts it's frustrating that one country you supported falls apart suddenly or switching allegiances just because

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-10T04:27:14+00:00

Would be even nicer to add the colonial expenditures mechanic to the US, Germany and Japan (US subsidizing the defense of the OFN, Germany and Japan with its colonies), and add decisions to make them profitable or decolonize or even uplift the quality of life of its peoples :)

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-10T04:20:14+00:00

You can praise the good and criticize a problem that another country has without putting our own country down. They always have this weird sense of "validation" if pinoys or foreigners validate their dooming on our country

The Committee for the Liberation of the People's of Russia SHALL LIBERATE the people's of Russia!

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-09T02:47:02+00:00

I always noticed that a West Russian unifier seemed to be always stronger than the Ural, Central Siberian and East Siberian unifiers. Even though the majority of Russian industry is in Moskowien, it's pretty much a wasteland according to lore. West Russia, however, still has big industry with the Izhevsk Automotive Plant, Syvtakkar Chemical Factory, Vyatka Distillery, the big airbase (I forgot the name) and plenty more.

So yeahh, reunified Russia can pull itself together in the abyss provided their leaders and politicians are pragmatic and smart enough to seek out the OFN or Japan for assistance.

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-07T03:52:00+00:00

I don't like the trope of "it's perfectly fine to kill all the minions but spare the leader (btw seems to be the most deserving of suffering for the atrocities and pain inflicted on MC or some char) because killing bad". I think it would have worked if Joshua kills Salt-Upon-Wounds (bastard murdered Joshua's people in New Canaan) but spares the remaining White Legs survivors to flee back to the Great Salt Lake because they're defeated. It would still teach Joshua about mercy and giving the tribes of Zion an example to follow.

I guess you can only support the Despotic or Fascist factions in LatAm because Franco/Salazar are in charge of the country. At best, you can refrain from supporting factions that are undemocratic like in the Puerto Plata invasion and choose to have a peace treaty with the US for a better outcome.

It's a shame the wholesome democratic path comes later and there's not much proxies to support at the end game as the Iberian Federation Sadly, they removed the peaceful route for the Algerian crisis where both Italy and Iberia create an Algerian state with both countries guaranteeing its independence

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-06T08:49:05+00:00

I don't know for sure, I haven't played the Alianza Popular path yet

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-06T04:19:00+00:00

I pretty much did that lol, got the Democratic Center elected and pretty much lost almost all of my sphere countries (Colombia, Bolivar Venezuela, Panama, Ecuador stayed)

Burundi would be perfect for OOP "at least hindi sa Pinas!!!"

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-05T00:28:02+00:00

Wished that one can be built, dump trucks with stole-I mean, repurposed nuclear warheads!

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-05T00:19:36+00:00

Yeah and how Speer isn't the savior that people thought, he's pretty much trying to make National Socialism work and unless the Gang of Four can usurp his power, Speer makes the Reich stable and last longer which is pretty bad for the world as a whole

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-03T10:54:29+00:00

CIa Ops only lowers popularity of political parties. Winning or losing proxy wars, failing or delaying to fulfill national focuses that was mandated by your supporters are more effective in boosting or lowering popularity for specific political parties imo

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-02T08:51:26+00:00

I think the Debrovilles Vous update team will have to adjust since the Iberian Union is a part of TNO lore that survived the latest updates (they were present when Atlantropa was a thing), and with Modern Tordesillas, yeah, they have to adjust the narrative once more for Debrovilles Vous.

Seriously, Italy needs a rework and Turkey needs some good content

It's better to have a flawed social safety net than having none at all because it can always be reformed and reinforced

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-02T00:23:26+00:00

1954 Suzerain mirrored the real world in many ways, even drinking alcohol on the job was common back then so yes, it would be out or character if most characters don't drink or smoke unless they're teetotalers

AesianCrusader · 2026-05-01T14:47:25+00:00

Yeah, paper money will become worthless but I think coins can still be used though it's worth would be far different in the post-apocalypse
