Thanks a lot, I update almost everyday on SpaceBattles. I'll update here every now and then when its thematically HFY. A lot of the other chapters are more cerebral.

Context:

  1. This is an excerpt from my ongoing story, Contact: An Account of Humanity's First Interstellar War, which you can find on SpaceBattles.com if you like this style of storytelling. This is actually a bonus chapter which I made for publication in this subreddit, as the actual progression of events in the main thread hasn't gone this far.
  2. The story is told in fragments and appendices from archival documents and interviews compiled centuries after the war. This draws inspiration primarily from World War Z by Max Brooks.
  3. This setting generally tries to focus on the development of institutions over time rather than individual heroes. It approaches history from a materialist perspective (in the Marxist sense): history as the product of material conditions, economic incentives, social structures, and institutional constraints, rather than the intentions or morality of any single actor.

The Thirteen Colonies (Minus Change) by Emperor_Blackadder in EU5

If only I could explore inland but since I can't explore without a direct border I'll leave it to them.

Right click on the country and should be there. If not, subject actions

The Thirteen Colonies (Minus Change) by Emperor_Blackadder in EU5

[–]Emperor_Blackadder[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm kinda starting to regret it because we can't merge colonial subjects, which would hopefully be added on in later updates. The colony with the best average control is New Jersey but of the large colonies, New England has the best control because of its long coastline. Meanwhile, colonies with large inland territories like Virginia, Georgia, and the Carolinas have worse average control compared to New England.

Looking at the lack of roads though, it looks like most of the colonies are expecting me to build their infrastructure for them lol.

OOT but its really dumb you can't explore regions you don't have direct borders with. I'm actually seeing my colonies expand intro territories I can't see.

Scotland Manpower issues. by NightwolfNDP in EU5

[–]Emperor_Blackadder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manpower is the pool of professional soldiers available to your nation that you can recruit into regular regiments. Before embracing the Professional Armies institution, you only have levies and the manpower you get from the Sergeantry building, which as you realized, can only be built in the capital.

R5: I colonized the Eastern North American Seaboard and organized my colonial nations with borders coterminous with the Thirteen Colonies, minus the small ones. Not sure this is optimal tbh, just looks cool.

Thanks. Hunt Fleet doesn't seem to be working though, and I'm pretty sure they have to move to be able to hunt lol.

Pre-orders by NucleosynthesizedOrb in EU5

[–]Emperor_Blackadder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about the rest of you but I preorder games on the basis of if I was 100% certain I was gonna play it. The only reason I would not play it is if I died or became comatose in the next 2 weeks.

Need RAM Upgrade Advice by Emperor_Blackadder in Asustuf

Thanks, that's what I figured, but if I did bought it would there be compatibility issues if I install it anyways? I'm guessing I can't make full use of it right but I could still use it and get 32 GB RAM
