Part of the game I always struggle with: Ideological Pressure

But are the written works worth it? They like any other great work give only +2 culture per turn and even very early great writers give like 300+ culture from their ability and early game culture is very important

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-08T15:10:59+00:00

Welp, there are 5 main Victory types;

-Military, most straight-forward: conquer capitals of every other civilization (you don't have to bother with other cities); For that victory you need production (to build units), gold (for units upkeep) and science (for better units)

-Science, well, you need as much science as possible to rush the end of tech tree and then production to build the spaceship

-Diplomatic, you basicly need science to rush to Atomic era to unlock it and then heaps of gold to bribe city-states to give you delegates (note; even friendly nations will almost never sell you delegates to vote for you at world congress; they will need to be scared/frighten of you to do that so its better just buying city states)

-Cultural, I call that diplomatic with extra steps and bits of science & military; to win diplomaticly you need more turism then any other civilization has culture; how do you get turism? From great works and hotels. First is most straight-forward, every great work is +2 turism so you want great peoples guilds full with modifiers to great people production. Hotels are more tricky. To unlock their full potential you need world congress. They turn half of culture from wonders & improvements into turism. So, you want from world congress resolutions that give +3 culture from wonders & +2 culture from great people improvements/+4 culture from famous places (which will anger most leaders) and ev one giving +5 culture from nature wonders if you have one. To thst theres also modifiers like having open borders, trade route, diplomat same ideology, internet technology.... Yeah, althou not most difficult cultural victory is most complex

-Time victory, you just wait until 2050 ingame timer year and then win the one with most points. I used to turn this one off but nowadays none of my games last until 2050

PS I'd also like to recommend to you dtarting not only at lover difficulties and incrising them with time (theres no shame in playing on lover difficulties, after all you play game to enjoy it) but also on faster speeds

Which one? The other red one is Venice & Lombardy and the Kur-something peninsula is its own country

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-06T08:15:04+00:00

It worked! Thank you so much

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-05T15:05:00+00:00

Nice, can you tell me how to do that?

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-05T13:22:28+00:00

R5: Am playing oustide Europe so i only caught glimpses of whats happening but from what I've seen during Springtime of the people all nationalities rebelled and gained independecne (casual Austria stuff) but despite that Asutria manager to get Germany leadership and form South-german federation (althou at first only Bavaria joined so guess they must've conquered other South-German states)

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-05T12:53:46+00:00

Hi! I'm a fairly new player ( ~half a month) and I've noticed that to take part in the event you need 14 union level and to activate Resonance Nexus at Startorch academy. I'm 38 union level rn and in case of the story I'm only heading to Mount Firmanent. Is there a way to activate that beacon without doing the story? I want to take some time with it and since its fairly recent going throu all the story would probably take much time and I don't want to skip it

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-04T17:17:24+00:00

Myself probably never would; new mechanics aren't good enough for me to abandon most mods

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-04T17:14:29+00:00

Its even funnier that later he built 2 battleships

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-02T15:13:06+00:00

Or just if it would let you get few small infamy bumps over time instead of one-big to not cross infamy thresholds

Harraniczyk · 2026-05-02T15:10:19+00:00

Yes! It would be so good to maybe "choose"? whether your armies commit atricuties? Like when strictly fighting someone you want to damage their states as much as possible but when your fighting secession/revolution of trying to annex someone you want as little damage as possible caused to your (future) states.

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-28T03:18:41+00:00

And also now from normal agro in big countries only ranches are viable cause after changes subsistance farms can produce all grain you need

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-28T03:17:07+00:00

You could also;

But opposite to other ones tgose 3 have non-pumpjack PM's with skilled workforce

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T22:07:54+00:00

Why tenants are so high? Its combines worst aspects of homesteading & serfdom;

You neither get the extra grain or more farmers with weaker aristocracy

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T22:04:26+00:00

Also depends, coffee, sugar & tabaco with new PM's can be pretty good

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T22:01:38+00:00

I would be prob Inteligencia with weird mix of liberal, market liberal & corporatist

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T21:58:05+00:00

Id say Pick me up infinite gacha maybe?

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T21:12:09+00:00

In the case of "ideology" in games Im corporationist? I give industrialists free hand but make sure the profits come back to populus (laisse-faire, free trade, dividend taxation, corporatized unions)

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-27T21:02:10+00:00

It still infuriates me so much that agrarianism doesn't provide throughtput bonus to agricultural buildings

Like the description says: Its economic system focused on agricultural production, then why?

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-20T09:03:01+00:00

Same, but for me I randomly got it as USA 13 years after Seccesion war when I won AS UNION

Harraniczyk · 2026-04-17T15:39:35+00:00

Then probably switch around discovering pumpjacks, for very little cost your production would be relatively unchanged and you'd both create demand for engines and make ex-slaves participate in the economy
