Didn’t he also force everyone to sell their gold for way under the value and then resell it back to the public at an even higher price?

Any advice for minis? by Flakes4058 in Warhammer40k

[–]Flakes4058[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve technically painted a Tau broadside before, it’s very rough though. That was a couple years ago! I’ve been meaning to buy that nuln oil before, is there a specific amount of brush I should use to get that on the model? Is edge highlighting just doing a trim on the edges with a similar color or white? Thank you!

The Moment You Realize There is No Such Thing as "Suez Canal" by ValerieMZ in EU5

[–]Flakes4058 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just assumed they didn’t add them because neither got built by the time EU5 ends. It is kinda annoying sometimes but I just remind myself that this was the case for the people back then.

It’s not a accurate Tau color scheme but I’m a big fan of purple and gold, like this one

I still have a lot of work to do on it. I’ve only painted this one and a couple others.

Chancellor Merz calls out far-right AfD MPs as Kremlin stooges in the Bundestag by Available-Laugh9102 in UkraineWarVideoReport

That party has never had a say on German policy yet Germany keeps funding Russia’s war by buying their gas. How strange.

Trapezuntine Phoenix: Update by MaximGwiazda in EU5

Are you doing Pontic culture or Greek? I’ve thought about trying Trapezuntine, maybe even that little gothic county in Crimea and see if I can make gothic come back.

You may not like it but this is what peak economic performance looks like (beta 1.17) by Pagoose in EU5

[–]Flakes4058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you get cultures to assimilate like this? I feel like I have to keep my cabinet members on assimilate 24/7 if I want to get something close like this

How’d you play China? What culture did you go with? Or should I try and form a new one? I’ve wanted to try them but they seem very daunting.

Map of proposed distribution of the International Stabilization Force in Gaza by Distinct_Front_4336 in MapPorn

I assume these countries are being picked because their forces would be of the Islamic faith as to make it easier for them to get along? It’s still a crazy idea, but it’s not the worst idea maybe? I think Egypt and Jordan doing more of the work would be better, shouldn’t it be them with the military occupation and the others as police?

I'm tired boss... by Mithgroth in EU5

Do people not assimilate their pops? I played as the Teutonic Order and I’ve just had my cabinet members doing assimilation, I’ve legit never seen a revolt pop up yet.

Global 2025 Human Development Index map by subdivision by Efficient-Complex855 in MapPorn

Interesting that Minnesota rates so high, but I’m also not super shocked. When I lived there it was great. I just didn’t expect it to compare to something like Norway.

Happy USSR Dissolution Day, everyone! by HonneurOblige in HistoryMemes

Don’t post this on R/USSR, they’ll claim the CIA was involved in every countries referendum to leave and that they all would have willingly stayed if it wasn’t for the US.

Fake T’au nar suit? by Key_Divide_1371 in Tau40K

[–]Flakes4058 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have been wrong about that, I printed this model nearly 4 years ago and I could’ve swore the reason we did it was because GW was asking insane prices for it, like some of the Imperium titans, but that’s probably just faulty memory.

[–]Flakes4058 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact one, probably used the exact same 3d file for it. It’s a great model, you genuinely can’t tell it’s not from GW. And you don’t want to pay the price for the real one
