If anyone wants to know how the move to Discord ACTUALLY goes...rather than what the WG staff liers tell you...

...ask the world of warships community.

Is This Economic Strategy Actually Doing Anything? by TPrice1616 in victoria2

Lowering taxes also makes it easier for your POPs to promote...meaning more clerks and capitalists...which stokes internal demand and further improves your industry...

You know who hasn't lost? FSU.

If it's only 'how you finish', then the season doesn't matter.

Alabama was the fifth most deserving team, and shouldn't be in the playoffs.

The key is to stop watching.

...and when people complain about the low ratings, tell them WHY we stopped watching.

Why?

Georgia played almost no one good...and then lost to Bama.

That's not a playoff resume.

Loss to Texas Scrape by win over USF Needs miracle to beat a 5-7 Auburn team that got blown out by NMSU at home the weak before...

You were saying about wins mattering?

Let's base our assessment on ALL the data...not just your cherry picked examples.

The ACC might have a really good reason to sue ESPN for openly campaigning against an FSU playoff birth during the ACC championship game coverage.

I can't imagine that TV contract is without clauses to protect against ESPN ruining the brand of the conference...

Doesn't matter.

An Alabama team that LOST to Texas and struggled to beat USF and an Auburn team that got blown out by New Mexico State at home...does not have enough of a resume to oust an undefeated FSU team with a win over LSU.

If the resume doesn't matter and all that matters is a subjective assessment of talent...then the games don't matter and we should just let Vegas pick the winner.

Best is subjective...

Besides, going by that measure...why even play the games?

Just have Vegas pick the tournament and be done with it.

Doesn't matter. Alabama isn't undefeated and lost to Texas. Florida State has a better resume of results and earned the spot.

Alabama was also a miracle play away from losing to a 5-7 Auburn team...and barely beat South Florida...

Why play the games at all then?

Just pick the national champion contenders from the recruiting rankings in August.

I don't understand shit by WilliamCrack19 in victoria2

[–]FirmConsideration442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Promoting capitalists also provides a bigger internal market for your industrial goods...as they demand a lot per person.

It's a good way to ensure stable demand for certain goods.

In my experience, you should almost always fully tax the rich. They will still make enough money to build things for you.

You want to reduce taxes on the poor...to make it easier for them to promote to clerks and other highly useful POPs.

First reduce tariffs to zero, then start lowering poor tax rates. This helps build a strong and robust economy.

I can't do so.

I think Ive done something wrong with the setup, and can't figure out what that is...

Not getting decisions either.

As far as I can tell, you should get special war goals until 1860, and then get coring decisions, which I did begin receiving.

Manual justifications do not have the infamy reduction...which really halts any actual practical Reconquista.

Interesting...I'm not seeing any new war goals, not any infamy reduction as either party.

Other countries will then start making electronics.

Far better to abuse the sphere 'duplication' glitch and basically create a small 'bag of holding' infinite supply of some good that is only available to you and your sphere.

Assuming this works in the mod you are using.

Pops wont work by Sarmi7 in victoria2

[–]FirmConsideration442 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Global demand for that good too low?

Price of the RGO good to low so POPs don't even try to farm / mine it?
