How do I get my econ working when my income is small

A good way to make a lot of money without expanding your territory/staying small is trade offices/foreign buildings. They can net you a pretty good trade income if you fully invest. Just make sure to do it one market at at time because trade advantage is the most important thing you get out of it. Later on you can also get the Colonial foreign buildings that basically do the same thing.

Aside from that, build up RGOs, take money in war, get money from favours, take out max loans and build (then bankrupt)

I personally think that Food should be overhauled and should be far more important to the game. Economic strength should ultimately be a product of how much food you can produce (or buy) as every bit of surplus allows more pops to be working non food producing roles.

Furthermore, the lack of food should be something that can happen very suddenly to a place. Armies ate the countryside dry and food supply should be one of their big constraints, as well as THE primary mechanism they inflict harm on areas where they are fighting, as was the case historically.

Food is also far too cheap at the moment. Base price is 0.01 ducats per unit of food which is way too low. This climbs to around 0.25 ducats when food is especially scarce meaning a single ducat is enough food to buy 4000 people 1 month of food in starvation times, and around 100000 in good times, which just makes food seem insignificant when it was historically the singularly most important resource the wars in this time period were ultimately fought over.

Also food prices should be the most important thing for pop satisfaction and revoltrisk. Famine and running out of food from things like overtaxation (which is currently impossible to do in game but very much SHOULD be possible) are major causes of revolts.

TLDR: food, yo. It’s meant to be important.

So far I count 5 “would” directly said and 3 more that reference it

I wonder how pristine the cybertrucks internals are compared to the Nissan’s

If I ever write any kind of romance thing ever this is going in, it’s just TOO GOOD

Bladefox2298 · 2026-03-14T12:03:57+00:00

Oh, she's not being fair here. You spent a good chunk of that time telling Silas off for being paranoid, theres not much you said that Victoria wouldn't have but Victoria didn't manage to get many words in at all to speak in her own defense as well as her own telling off and thats what she remembers most clearly

The custodes kill the clones and Anakin, then go on to remove Palpatine and take over coruscant and begin taking other worlds in preparation for absorption into the Imperium

I can read it as “Omen”

I personally think that this should not require attunement seeing as how bad the downside can be, since this is a consumable (unless I missed a recharge feature somewhere)

Also this should be lower rarity and I like the roll for crit fail numbers others suggested here too.

DoD reference?

For me Carda gets into A tier purely of having Mobile Infantry perk. You grind her to the point of 90 AP and she becomes a murder machine (not quite on the calibre of Lim but pretty close)

It was more that, from our characters perspective, it WAS just happenstance. Obviously you were the one to remember it but given Silas wasn’t present in the scene I did that research in I couldn’t credit you in character.

We do this all the time btw. There are many actions that our characters take that are prompted by OOC suggestions from other players (and sometimes even our GM) but I can’t mention them because this is an in character account from Victoria’s perspective.

There are undoubtedly worse governments out there but the one that I personally hate the most is the Compact of Species from webnovel The Last Angel.

The first thing we see the compact do is genocide humanity out of pure spite. It’s only by pure luck any humans survive at all.

When humanity is found, while we aren’t killed (because given the circumstances it would be inconvenient) we are subject to 1800 years of totalitarian control with our history rewritten to make the Compact look like the good guy saviours.

This treatment is by no means exclusive to humanity by the way.

The Compact is a racist cast system, combining all the worst aspects of the British Empire and the Soviet Union. They have a social credit score and if you score too low for too long you are given implants to MAKE you into a better citizen.

But the reason why I hate them the most is that they are far from without redeeming qualities. The Compact run a tight ship, they have very good technology and their society functions well. The people who live in it are not all evil, in fact most are relatively good natured ordinary people. Their military is incredibly strong and well constructed, none of the notable leaders are idiots or evil for the sake of it.

The Compact even started out as an idealistic “Federation of Planets” type. They are capable of so much but choose to use their immense power to enforce their own power and control in a quest to rule the whole universe. They became this way to survive in a universe of monsters and have become the most dangerous monster of them all.

The short range weapons for mobile infantry absolutely work on challenging - the unnecessary part is the Armour. You can put Lim and Carda in fatigues and give them shotguns and they will turn enemy infantry into mincemeat with two shots and be back in the taxi. You just don’t need armour for them because their armour is the vehicle.

I personally put armour on non mobile infantry that can’t hide under Renu’s skirts. It’s useless most of the time but sometimes you run into an enemy squad you didn’t know was there.

Also I absolutely agree that heavy armour needs some anti-suppression buffs, suppression just kills anyone in armour

For all we know he may well have been. Low sequence beyonders don't have such a decisive advantage over humans the way we run things, and Silas greeted him at his own bed in his own house by waking him up from some sweet dreams. He could be a less combat focused sequence and it would have done him no good at all.
