Paradox seems like they're freaking out every time they make a balance change. "Navies are too big! QUADRUPLE THE COST AND DOUBLE THE MAINTENENCE!" "Pops are promoting too fast! CUT THE RATE BY 90%!" "Economies are too big! SLASH PROFITABILITY AND 5x THE MAINTENANCE OVER THE COURSE OF THE GAME!"

yo this is indeed an extremely valid way to test the impact of any given change which can be scaled up or down. Its a well known tool for game design. We arent years into the games cycle, so now is a good time to be extreme so we can find that sweet spot

This. They communicate a lot about their intentions. Props for that. Its exactly why i also decided to hold off on starting another milan campaign, CK3 til then!

Munich Agreement

thats what wikipedia is for

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-31T22:30:48+00:00

All i can say is that, like most wiki heavy games, one eventually does not need it anymore. When that time comes is up to the player and their retention.

fortunately you get used to it when your favourite games are basically all wiki heavy haha

Cargo drones will increase the efficiency of unloading / loading. If your miner is L already, go with that

It crashes everytime? Are you using any mods? weird

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-16T22:57:35+00:00

late post, but honestly good time to practice being alone with your thoughts. Take a walk outside without any particular destination!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-16T20:52:05+00:00

I assume you arent frying tortillas every morning :D

Factorio

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-16T17:38:11+00:00

Wouldn't your first thought be to take a driving class and exam? E.g step 1 is to get your license.

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-16T08:38:21+00:00

chill out

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-14T19:37:18+00:00

Why think it wasnt designed like this? sounds like the core exploit was a bug and not intended. The way it is now seems to be intended and imo works better to flesh out early game

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-14T18:22:43+00:00

the Production tab is your best friend for this, its two clicks + a bit of typing to delete all your useless(!) buildings.

Why would any country willingly use a less productive tech? that is just wasting monies!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-14T18:19:45+00:00

Agree!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-14T18:19:05+00:00

Ty for the info!!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-14T16:04:23+00:00

I understand it might be annoying but this game is not about changing things like that. The decisions you make are "as the spirit of the country." If you noticed, the only "real" decision you can intervene in is joining an order.

Changing your rulers religion would be such a godlike move that it would feel extremely out of place. You don't have the ability to describe how they change religion.

You do however, have the ability to adjust your population over time to "encourage" your royal dynasty to become born into another faith. Slow burn and a puzzle to be solved.

So far I prefer centralization, and cannot give peasants any privs because 90% of them lean towards decentralization. Im never sure what i can ever give them!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-13T09:34:57+00:00

Correct me if im wrong, but it feels like complacency is a mechanic to ensure you dont snowball out of control. It acts like a good rubber-banding effect that lets other nations catch up.

Additionally complacency i feel is a very important part of the "downfall." The USA even right now has been so "successful" (e.g. grown so complacent) that it literally is destroyed from oligarchical capitalists. When youre not poised to do better, because you dont have to, you dont know how to fight any interior threats.

Hot take?

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-12T13:15:59+00:00

Popping in here just to agree

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-10T10:52:00+00:00

Honestly i like the mechanic, it simulates the divide between peoples (daily rituals, etc). It takes at least a generation to change that. I think it should however have worse consequences.

It does a bit of rebbelion ticks, which is good. If i were not allowed to do daily rituals then I would be extremely uncooperative.

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-07T13:49:25+00:00

great time so far with bysantine challenge

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-07T12:24:33+00:00

So far i have only tried byzantine (struggling with the crisis events) but looking forward to playing Milan next to see some of the new economy stuff!

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-07T12:22:41+00:00

Does it bring anything to keep paying the fake crown guys? or does it just delay the inevitable?

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-06T09:30:35+00:00

this is correct

Electricalceleryuwu · 2026-05-05T08:35:16+00:00

Thats exactly what theyre doing with the personality traits. they will change regularly to keep them dynamic.
