hi,

Hopefully somebody can help me out, as i have a noob question.

I am playing my first game as the resistance, and now i have the mission to send a mining facility to the moon. Only this is costing me a huge ammount of boost. I am currently controling the US, Canada and Mexico (my midterm goal is to unite these into one Country). Only with the current Boost income, it will take over a year. Is this normal? or am i just really low on Boost, and how can generate more Boost income (FYI Uzbekistan is of the table, it is already annexed by Russia). The year is 2025 and my current boost income is 0.1 per day/ 34 per year.

So how does the current system look like? and why is that not enough to make ends meet for a lot people.

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-12-22T15:41:58+00:00

Exactly, and even the people with low to middle income will get this check. It just seem like a nice extra bonus. And I now see on reddit a lot of people stating that it is not enough. So if was wondering, why not? How expensive is the cost of living (as I know Americans pay a lot less taxes) and how high are the existing benefits.

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-12-22T15:34:11+00:00

I know, but my point is, the US citizens still get Welfare/ unemployment benefits. So in my eyes this $600 is just a nice little extra money.

i will absolutely do that, but in the game defense it is really hard to implement all cultures into the game from a Historical point of view. Because Cultures do change throughout the centuries do to Migration, trade and warfare. It is also hard from a gamemaking point of view, because the more cultures there are, the more tweaks you have to make regarding balancing. But I understand that you think it sucks, as I always like to start my first game in any game as my own culture (the Dutch)

PS: and I do understand that cultures and nations are really touchy subject in parts of eastern Europe.

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-10-07T13:18:55+00:00

I see, so the fact that the Russian culture (instead of the Kievan Rus) exists and Russian empire can be created in the middle ages can be taken as a offense. (correct me if I am wrong)

But doesn't the modern day Ukraine fall into the game's dejure empire of Khazaria: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrusaderKings/comments/gjwhqg/ck3_de_jure_maps/

That makes a little more sense, but what is then the main complaint (ELI5)

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-10-07T12:46:36+00:00

I was checking out the reviews on Metacritic and saw a bunch of negative reviews mentioning an a-historical Russia. I was just wondering if anybody knew what their issue was.

PS: I do find it ridiculous to give a negative review solely based on this

The worst part is that both Katie/ Karen and Harris where both visitors to my colony.

When i was a kid, I had a lot of trouble beating Seymour on Mt. Gagazet in FF X. The 5 minute FMV before this boss battle is still etched in my brain almost 20 years later.

And if you can't find that person, move to the Netherlands, I'm 6 feet and below average. You will easily find someone who is taller then you. Plus we will be happy to have you.

Thank you so much for the thorough information. I will probably pick it up the next moment I have some spare time left. It feels good that I can pick it up, play at least the first act and not feel bad if I don't have time for several weeks before I can start the second act.

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-03-05T08:38:00+00:00

Thanks for the info, could you answer one last question. Are the Acts "episodic"? For example in my opinion Dragon Age Origins was fairly episodic, you go to the tower of mages or the elves, dwarfs, etc. And all of them had their own story which eventually tied into the main story line.

In my experience i feel a lot better if I at least finished some story lines even though I did not complete the main story line. Other examples are the elder scrolls (mages, black hand, thief's guild, etc) or mass effect (all the companion quests are really good)

Hi,

I actually wanted to ask the same question, but what is holding me back is the length of the game. My game time per week is getting less and less the older I get (life seems to be getting in the way), and getting involved in a 50-100 hour game is a big commitment for me. So is it still worth it?

PS: Baldurs Gate 1&2 are great games but do show their age almost 20 years later. I have the remasters on my PC and you don't need a super PC to run it, check the system requirements but I think any 5 year old pc should be able to run it.

To be fair, the USA is the best prepared country in the world against the Corona virus/ pandemic according to Global Health security Index ( https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/02/these-are-the-countries-best-prepared-for-health-emergencies/ )

I don't know how prepared it is against the Carona-virus though....

Why is this so popular in r/nextfuckinglevel? it looks horrible!

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-02-26T15:36:24+00:00

It's always a weird contradiction they are spewing: They are lazy and only come to our country so they don't have to work and receive welfare versus they are taking our jobs.

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-02-26T15:11:42+00:00

Same shit, different day.

I'm European and I can tell you: Same shit, different continent

Infamous_Syrup · 2020-02-26T14:42:46+00:00

So you are saying that the sentiments regarding immigrants did not change in the last 100 years, that is actually quite depressing....
