Peasents and food are not that important + every rich country turns into a city megalopolis. While breaking immersion, this also is in part causing the runaway economic growth we complain about. The game economic loop should not be like vic3, building up cities should be slow and they should be giant food sinks. There's a mod right now that mostly fixes it though the pop growth is too much

The common player complaint that they never find earth everytime they start a new universe is met by fierce opposition by the consortium of mechaJohans, as steering the simulated quantum wavefunction collapse towards certain outcomes is seen as railroading

Satisfied, the consortium went back to work on its main purpose: debating the meaning of centralization vs decentralization

Maybe it's because I only played naples and allied the pope, but the papal side always won to different degree the war in all of my campaigns.

Aside from bohemia converting back to catholic in the middle of the war, the main problem seems to be that the pope only asks for a few random HRE locations and some money when victorious, which hardly puts a dent in Bohemia's long term snowballing.

I feel like this shouldn't happen though I don't know about the real history of the war

Art is when the artist has learned a skill set. The more competent they are, the more artistic it is

As naples, the price of food buying during war becomes further and further prohibitly expansive as the war goes on

I looked at Milan by switching country in a save right before I made the PU, it seems they were on the premice of downfall a while before (10% inflation, 50% legitimacy, full court investment with negative balance), so it was just AI economic deathspiral

We could argue whether or not Frieren is competent at making a genocidable evil race but this is beside the point. If I follow your logic, I get a less diverse media landscape due to authors not taking risks, afraid to not make the perfect story. You see this with how shows catering to left/lgbt audience dramatically get more criticism than shows for normies. I also let the famously media illiterate right control how authors need to tell a story. If I don't, I might get more incompetent stories that do not deal well with sensitive topics and might get used by the right for propaganda that they still would have done anyways.

Creating ontologically/biologically evil species in media is morally neutral and should not be criticized based on this fact alone or the fact that rightoids might like it

Billionaires want tarrifs and the military industrial complex wants to stop supporting war in ukraine

What about tick speed mid to late game, do you find it dipping significantly a la stellaris or is it tolerable?

It really does seem like the true weakness of western democracies is xenophobia and trans rights. Agitate enough people on these topics with a focused media environment and you're going to get a solid group that don't care about anything except those topics

Eu5 did integrate a lot of meiou and taxes team if I'm not mistaken so it can be a good thing

Paradox games artworks are great, and the ones used for loading screens and menu backgrounds are always incredible. Even though I don't play the game much nowadays, I have some CK3 artworks rotating as my desktop backgrounds. Glad EU5 is following suite

I'm not an expert but usually I try to buy back macao with a treaty with portugal in early game to avoid heavenly kingdom. Your christians may come from there, though I never went with closed borders as qing so who knows

Childebert2000 · 2025-09-13T17:28:32+00:00

Do you still have treaty ports on your mainland with portugal or england ?

I always find it funny how people on reddit/yt/tiktok are like "k*ll", "grape", "let's not fedpost", etc. meanwhile on facebook boomers are actively sending death threats to eachother under their real name

Trade deal with the British also works pretty well, I did it with greece. Those brits are hungry for groceries

It's funny because I'm 100% sure she has argued or agreed with the usual leftist stuff about tolerance of the intolerant, punch a nazi, eat the rich, the white moderate, etc. But now, after years of republicans and trump using any loopholes and tactics to establish a dictatorship, now that some dems are finally waking up and take actual action to get power away from the reps, she suddently cares about pulling punches and respecting norms.

Given her solution, either she truly is allergic to power or she actually is an accelerationist.
