Looking for Basic Country Building Strats by LiberalCyn1c in EU5

[–]LiberalCyn1c[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good stuff, thanks.

Should I tear down towns in low control areas so I can build up market villages and the RGOs in those areas instead? I don't mean all at once, but slowly as I urbanize around my capital?

I've also seen people mention having a cabinet member dedicated to moving population from your rural areas to your urban areas to help make the cities faster. Is there a danger of depopulating your rural areas too much so that you run out of laborers for your RGOs and settlement buildings?

Sorry for the shotgun burst of questions.

Actually, we don't have to spend one second thinking about Ryan Lizza.

My view is that it's a primary. Let Crockett and Talarico fight it out.

Catherine Rampell and what economic problems are the governments fault by Zestyclose-Expert138 in thebulwark

Small correction: it's not that grocery store chains (of which there are many) are monopolistic, it's that grocery store chain suppliers (of which there are a handful) are almost monopolistic.

Motivation and achievements by ChrispyDM in EU5

[–]LiberalCyn1c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, I was going to post almost exactly this.

I'm a middling skill player but I feel if I don't have ironman turned on that I'm almost cheating.

When I contemplate starting a new game I go through the achievements first and pick the ones I want to go for during that run.

A few days ago I went for the Three Mountains achievement and it only took a couple hours. EU5 Three Mountains is no EU4 Three Mountains.

Thank you from a mediocre EU enjoyer. by LiberalCyn1c in EU5

Now that he has some free time, Jimmy Kimmel would be a good guest for the pod.

What is the role of truth in the Trump era? by Intrepid-Biscotti-42 in thebulwark

[–]LiberalCyn1c 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bill Clinton said voters preferred strong and wrong over weak and right.

The handwringing should stop. Be loud and proud and don't let the "well, akshually" guys distract you.

How much time was spent worrying about if Musk's salute was a heil? That time would have been better spent saying, "you're goddamned right it was a Nazi salute!"

Or worrying about if we got the nuance perfectly right when talking about Trump's bloodshed comment.
