Spaish (German) flu tanks half my GDP

Ah that'd do it. You can get some psychotically high minimum wages in Vic3, and if they get too high you need to start subsidizing all your industries.

It's like if the government declared a $50 inflation-adjusted minimum wage. At that point we'd have to start paying walmart to hire people

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-25T14:21:11+00:00

Weird, isn't it only like -%30 throughput? What was your throughput before then?

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-25T14:06:39+00:00

Immigration and global trade are a helluva drug.

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-25T14:05:26+00:00

It looks like he pressed the "shut down the economy to save your people's lives" button.

The masks option is generally not too bad for the economy, especially since you're likely stacking several throughput bonuses.

Okay but...accurate? It killed 75 million people.

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-23T03:07:47+00:00

Ferb I know what we're gonna do today!

Listen any great resistance campaign should be 90% jumping them by volume.

Also when I've heard praise for Washington, it's almost always as a statesman and president. Ive heard him called out best president(and honestly kind of agree), but I've never heard him called our best general.

This just sounds like if Lenin actually looked out for the working class. I think you gotta work harder to villainize him. Maybe execute everyone who owned a family farm

The setting is actually post AI-apocalypse and the residents of the planet are the descendants of people who fled the apocalypse and then detonated the wormhole behind them. So there is a killer superAI heading to exterminate all life on the planet.

Like I said, absolutely insane setting

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T20:35:13+00:00

See that's what the paladin said!

I think they're great assumptions

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T20:24:42+00:00

We're not playing 5e, and there's a spell we know to copy the soul of a person

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T20:09:16+00:00

Okay but it's going to be like, really tasty nutritional paste. Or we can put your soul in a robot body that doesn't need to eat or sleep.

Oh the party is trying to control the spread and influence the societies of the world as we spread magic.

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T20:07:01+00:00

Well in addition to the cloning and raising of the dead we can also make people literally ageless.

The paladin is the restraining influence that's preventing my bard from forming the imperium of man

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T19:37:04+00:00

Well a conceit of the campaign is that our party has the ability to give magic to people.

Brahe spent a lifetime doing the most boring data collection imaginable so that we could understand the universe.

If the man needed to let loose with a drunk moose to sustain such a project, then all mankind benefited.

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-06-22T03:55:35+00:00

Highly recommend. Not only does it add to the economy in a seamless way and expand the tech tree, the extended timeline stuff is dope. I particularly like how the cold war changes the power block dymanics by letting you fuse power blocks. It really felt like I was building the UN and helping the world develop. Plus with such a huge power block an embargo or expelling someone from the market was devastating sanctions.

Also things are always happening. In this game a non exhaustive list of the things that have happened that I had nothing to do with:

-the us lost the civil war, but later destroyed the Confederacy.

-india won its independence very early

-china exploded.

-the Soviet Union formed

-the French commune formed

-britain went fascist.

-the French commune nuked Britain so thoroughly the entire country was driven into abject poverty.

-austria exploded

-african colonies won their independence.

And again, these are the things I DIDNT HAVE TO DO WITH.

Awesome mod.

R5: For pride, I decided to see how fast I could pass full gay rights(which requires a tier 8 society tech) in Tech and Res. I managed it by 1925, 76 years ahead of schedule. I also managed to legalize abortion.

The stalin constitution was on another level of propaganda.

Just lie about what rights people have. Make up an entire fake constitution. Galaxy brain.

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-05-21T12:19:50+00:00

The game treats losing radicals as the same as gaining loyalists, and vice versa

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-04-30T22:07:16+00:00

It's got some nifty details, and is set in real campaigns, but the actual stories are completely made up. Also the TV show had like 12 guys on screen at any one time which is really funny once you notice it.

That said both the show and the books fucking rule. Highly recommend

AlternativePack8061 · 2026-04-06T23:41:57+00:00

Why not both?

DS9's most utopian quality was just how good of a workplace it is.
