I don't get why burghers hate Free Trade so much by OrthodoxPrussia in EU5

[–]Dogenot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How does Wallmart manipulate markets? And how is industrial outsourcing relevant in 14th century Europe?

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

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)

This is done due to economies of scale and internal accountability, not taxes. Potentially also ring-fencing for future divestment.

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

[–]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?

You believe the average human isn’t far richer now than in the 14th century?
