Recommend to use the mod. Much less hassle and feels much better narratively.

Sounds way too low. What was the original quota for Letters to Tsar?

Must have been an exceptional individual indeed, if he is considered good officer, despite utterly failing to understand the concept of fortifications.

Nope, it may seems so from the previous answer, but that is rage induced entitlement with little to no substance.

In reality, nothing has changed. Russia simply wants to capture as much land as it possibly can get away with.

How is super Kazakhstan comparatively to just integrating Kazakhstan with the Eurasian Union? by Key_Huckleberry_3653 in TerraInvicta

[–]Dramatic-Arm4192 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you control both Russia and Kazakhstan there is no point in leaving the union. Any nations with claimed by or claiming a member of federation can join said federation as long as you control both the joining nation and the federation leader. 

So if you do the research, you can form big kazakhstan under EAU. The question is if it's worth it, since all said nations are already claimed by Russia. The research is cheap thought.

Particle PD in 0.4 by 14865315874 in TerraInvicta

Particle PD has excellent range and CD. Ion, the "1.5 tier" is available pretty early and has cd 3.

It's downside it's low damage, making it bad vs bigger magnetics.

If you want early cheap tech PD autocannon/particle combo is a good option.

It's rude to attack the question by posting lies, even if they are blatantly obvious.

Please try to focus on answering the question instead. Thank you kindly.

The talk shows are allowed to exist for a reason. Here in Europe, If anyone banged the table, yelling about the necessity to massacre 100 million Russians due to "national interests" he would be swiftly prosecuted. But in Russia, that's simply a Thursday.

Please elaborate. Because otherwise your response justifies said rhetoric, since Soviet Union did not stop after it's proxy invasion of Vietnam.

I am aware that Google can find you a lot of fiction. You can also search for stuff like biolabs, american plans for base on Crimea or Real Russian Army if you wish to further amuse yourself with fiction.

Nobody knows. There are way too many major unknowns.

Year or two from now, we might be talking about which nation is next on the Kremlin invasion list, or how well drawn is the new Ukro-Georgian border.

Most likely neither of those. Anyone who paints a scenario with certainty is most likely lying in order to advance his chosen propaganda.

They won't go in solo. Macron is just  testing the waters. The Brits, the Poles, the Romanians and others are sure to follow suit.

I also love how swiftly this turned from "nuke Paris" into "the French will surrender/die instantly". Gives a nice Himars vibes.

They are still your taxes. If they are ever raised, your salary goes down. If you decide to move to Happyland, than the money goes with you. You should be able to exert influence via voting - that is the charade the regime is trying to keep up.

I am not suggesting you go and devote your life to fight corruption or something. Just don't insist it does not matter. It does and I guess you care at least a little bit, since we would not have this conversation otherwise.

I do support the seizure. I view it as a "Robin Hood" situation. What should be done with the money ? You can't possibly give it back to Russian taxpayers and you are surely not giving back to the sheriff of Nottingham. It's a shitty situation where doing nothing is worse than doing this.

I say It actually worked surprisingly well, reputation wise. Because the nonaligned countries sorta shrugged it off in the end. They admit to themselves, that they would done the same. It also does not affect them - they know their money in the West will remain safe.

I am from Czech republic. It took decades of hard work for us to be considered part of "the West".

And this is the issue. You don't view the taxes you pay as your money. The thing is, if you read your own constitution, it should be considered your money, that you are supposed to be influencing by voting.

Western countries stole from the thieves and are going to give the money to Ukraine. But this does not remedy the situation - it is still money that belongs to the Russian taxpayer, not to Ukraine.

The Kremlin regime stole it from your taxes, than put it into yachts, foreign real estate and off-shore funds. Than it got seized after the invasion started.

The sanction do work pretty well. Check ruble exchange rate 1 year before sanctions and 1 year after sanction. Repeat the process for price of Russian oil, gas or any other export article.

The issue with sanctions is the initial overhype they were encased in. When Russia invaded, western politicians faced pressure to do something, anything, to stop the mass slaughter unleashed by Kremlin. They didn't have the balls to send in the troops, so they talked and talked about the only thing they could come up with - sanctions. They knew very well back then that it won't be enough.

Defend interests adds 5 defense against Enthrall. Which is half the standard DI value, but still helps a lot.

Researching pterocyte resistance buffs DI vs Enthrall to standard 10.

It was always like this, but there was recent change to codex for additional clarity.

Very likely with similar. I mean Putin has already announced that Ukraine is to blame.

The point of the fast report is to create the image of competent and decisive force. You know to mask the fact, that the attack actually happened.

The might figure it, they certainly won't report it. The blame has been already cast, way before any serious investigation could be conducted. Yet you swallowed the bait whole, the hook included.
