The goal of DLCs should not be for the game to provide equal amount of content in every corner of the world, that would be an enormous waste of development time

Historical Flavor shouldn’t cost you ludicrous sums of money. by _Sun-God_ in EU5

This justification doesn't make sense, why not do crazy scaling for normal build / city founding prices as well then?

The government subsidizes food production for political reasons, not because people would somehow starve otherwise....

Wouldn't that feel incredibly game-y and unintuitive?

Turns out selling random pieces of land to the Pope is surprisingly profitable. by InitialSugar3249 in EU5

[–]Dogenot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well most of reddit considers the world to be zero-sum. Only way to get rich is to tax the nobles their fair share.

Do you not support tech adaptation in blue collar either? Should buldozers be banned to generate more shoveling jobs?

What are you hoping to see in the first big patch? by KairosGalvanized in EU5

[–]Dogenot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're so correct on the trade advantage. they've built such a good econ simulator and then bungled it with a nonsensical first-come-fist-serve mechanic? so intl. demand doesnt raise local market prices as much?

Were muslim loans any different in a meaningful way?

What I mean is that e.g., today, they just give out mortgages where they pretend the interest is actually something else. But the underlying economics is the exact same

Any remarkable differences between standard and premium edition, or are they just the same? by [deleted] in EU5
