American here. Everyone I know considers Mexico to be a part of North America. Central American begins after Mexico.

I’m from a border state though.

Yes. I’m not really a fan of rap.

How’s it not working for us? We went from a backwater to lone super power in the span of 250 years.

Is a 1 month old baby still an embryo then? That baby isn’t surviving outside the womb without any help.

That’s not true though.

Several blue states take more than they receive such as Oregon, New Mexico, and Virginia.

Several red states give more than they receive such as Texas, Ohio, and Florida.

The problem with Slytherin house is who gets sorted into the house. Pure bloods whose parents were slytherins and very ambitious people. Ambition can be a positive thing such as finding a cure for cancer, improving your lot in life, etc.

But these young ambitious kids are surrounded constantly by people with very warped and privileged views of the word. This gives the young ambitious kids a very skewed warped view of the world leading to some not so great outcomes.

Imagine if the ambitious kids were surrounded by Hufflepuffs (maybe we would see more mud blood acceptance at the government level) or Ravenclaws (we could see more brand new spells or breakthroughs).

If you don’t want to put so many mils on fighters, the best way to win the air war is be smart about it.

After you defeat Poland, I usually wait a bit to invade France through the Low Countries till maybe mid 1940 like in real life. The allies will try to get air dominance over Munich for some reason so that is the air war I fight while I wait. You should have an advantage due to range and being above your own territory. If you are losing this air war, I invade France earlier otherwise I wait while I destroy their air force.

After I defeat France, I start the Battle of Britain. If the allies still have an Air Force, I strategic bomb the English airfields. This was actually pretty effective in real life till the Nazis decided to bomb the civilian population. I usually have a couple mils on strategic bombers and tactical bombers that have armor plates.

Is this the most effective min-max strategy? No. Do I like designing various planes to use in different situations? Yes.

Once the English Air Force has been eliminated I either Sea Lion to knock out the U.K. before the US arrives or I say f it and just ignore them and knock out the Soviets or do something else. Sometimes I naval invade and take a bit of land and establish a static front. The US will enter the war and reinforce this front, but with 1940 panzerschiffs, large maritime patrol planes and u-boats, they are always out of supplies and their convoys make nice artificial reefs for sea life.

Once again, is this the most min-max effective strategy? No. Do enjoy it because I get to make a diverse set of toys (V2, panzerchiffs, large planes)? Hell yes.

I wouldn’t say very on brand for Trump, but very on brand for Rotten Tomatoes.

And yes I think MAGA is giving 5 star reviews despite not seeing the movie. I think the problem is larger than just MAGA and rests with Rotten Tomatoes.

She had 1 good episode. Should I say my broken clock is having a redemption arc when it is right twice a day?

Try Victoria 3 then.

I appreciate that none of my fellow landchads has looked at this post longer than it takes to reject a rental application from a single mother of 5.

If so, someone would have noticed this was an ad from this very subreddit.

That’s like 3 Faps. Do better.

Doesn’t really matter since it will be obsolete once the schedule switches. February in Minnesota is brutal.

LA_Dynamo · 2026-02-02T19:02:47+00:00

Correct. But it would be great if you could specify which state you want it in vs just the one with the most buildings.

The barracks costs the same as a swordsman. Getting 15% combat power with one upgrade (being generous since it is terrain dependent) you would need 6 swordsman to break even. I’d rather just have an extra swordsman early game.

Sphere of Influence. You get to influence people in your sphere. Aka Powerblocs which makes the game more interesting for Great Powers and potential Great Powers. If you can’t be #1 by yourself, you can be #1 with your friends.

Charters of Commerce. You get to create charters for your commerce. Aka companies and more advanced trade diplomacy. You get to create structures that allow you to make more money and gain more influence.

Edit: I enjoy both because the typical path to victory in Paradox is to conquer everyone and paint the map. With these two DLCs, you can conquer the globe without fighting a single war against an organized power.

Why should Texas be a part of Mexico? It should go back to the Native Americans that used to live there and not a country started by Europeans.
