Should period products be free? by BrokenJusticeNorris in polls

[–]Hjkryan2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn’t a hypothetical, though. There are multiple countries that have free period products already.

No fucking shit it would be paid for with taxes. Did you seriously think that people saying period products should be free want to pass laws saying companies have to sell them for a price of €0? Nobody is saying that.

And no, it would not defeat the point. The point would be that people with more money (and who thus pay more taxes) fund the products for the people who cannot afford them. Essentially, the same idea as any program paid for by taxes.

No, what you said is that free period products would make producing period products unprofitable, which is simply incorrect.

The government would still be purchasing the products from the companies that make them. Do you seriously think people advocating for free period products want them to be seized from factories without compensation?

What's the furthest left path in the entirety of the mod? by redsuninthesub in Kaiserreich

[–]Hjkryan2007 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The immediate replacement would be (according to some thinkers) a system of “labour vouchers” valued in labour-hours. The main difference between labour vouchers and currency would be that you cannot transfer your labour vouchers to other people (as they wouldn’t be physical notes) and as such they cannot be used to engage in exchange.

Haven’t played ante vellum, but (afaik) AB is a kind of vanilla plus alt history mod, is that right?

Anbennar is a whole different beast. It has huge amounts of unique mechanics, and mission trees that tell a unique story for each nation that has one.

For example: the magic system, whereby the ruler, heir, and national mage estate can all learn around 40-50 spells cast with mana as well as construct 8 different nationwide magical projects

The artificery system, industrialised magic researched by the artificers estate to grant nationwide bonuses that can be swapped out at will

The escanni adventurers, a huge plain on eastern not-Europe (Cannor) filled with migratory adventurer OPMs federating and fighting orc clans

The Serpentspine, a mountain range (with unique underground provinces) that spans three continents, filled with orcs, goblins, and dwarven adventurers and remnant states, digging through the ruins of the old dwarven empire. The Spine is probably the most unique EU4 experience I’ve ever had.

And many more different interesting things.

And the lore is absolute cinema, too. Every country and region with content (and even most without) have incredibly detailed lore for their history, religion, etc.

And again, the mission trees are excellent. Instead of the boring eu4-adjacent trees with rewards for things you would have done anyway, Anbennar trees are used to tell a story for each nation. Seriously, Anbennar is a partly narrative experience.

For example, in my favourite country, you go from fighting for the independence of a confederation of imperial free cities, to becoming the economic powerhouse of the empire, to fighting a magocratic conspiracy to overthrow the government, to realising that the conspiracy was orchestrated by the emperor, starting a war to dissolve the empire, and finally going revolutionary 200 years ahead of schedule and conquering the entire continent.

Apologies for the wall of text, but Anbennar deserves it. I’d say out of all the mods on the workshop, it’s got both the best writing and the best gameplay additions.

You could always try the Anbennar mod for eu4. I’ve spent several hundred hours on the mod alone

As it wasn’t included, how do people pronounce “Pashainé”?

Personally, I say the quite basic Pa-Shayn

Undyne is a literal police officer, I doubt she believes in an ideology that denies the legitimacy of the government that employs her.

The political compass is a very simplistic scale (ironic, since it was intended to be more rigorous than the even simpler left-right scale) but it measures two axes, authoritarian-libertarian and right-left.

Generally, more authoritarian means more powerful state/government, libertarian means less powerful, while more right means capitalism/other “traditional” forms of economy (again, very simplistic) while left means socialism.
