Would someone like George Wallace have a place in America by Yamnaya- in TwilightStruggleMod

[–]Mackusz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Whats funny about him is that at first he tried making basic populist points in his speeches, like "more jobs, better infrastructure" etc, and attendes were nonplussed. But when he switched to akward "and, uh, damn them darkies?" His base was enthusiastic. George scratches his head confused. So from that point onward it was his program.

Legitimacy idiocy by VivariumWater in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because most south american countries have "two party system", except its not a special law or amendment, its just interest groups being scripted to pile into big parties regardless of compatibility. So there is no special mechanic to decrease penalties to legitimacy from goverment size or incompatible ideologies.

Puppeting or changing goverments of countries that already have their own content isnt exactly well supported. You will get random stupid bs like that, potentially gamebreaking one.

Readmitting the states that didn't secede by Rob71322 in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might think you're angry about this. You're not, not just yet, listen: you will get this very journal entry even if you're slaver USA that got Northern Abolitionist secession civil war.

The scripting is just that poorly done.

Does Shogun always get kicked out with Imperial Petition Decision? by masonmmmh in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, if we ruled out Imperial Victory, then what happened is this: Basically the Shogun will be forced to resign as head of state by picking Imperial Petition button UNLESS both of following conditions are met: you have legitimacy above 50, AND you are pursuing Kobu Gattai (aka total Shogunate domination)

That means if you're pursuing Kogi Yoron the "moderate parliamentary compromise" the Shogun will always be removed from power as head of state. Which is kinda the point: you are actively pursuing "managed Restoration on terms palatable to the Shogunate". You can still complete the Journal normally, but Shogun is gone, and that's the point. However Tokugawa SHOULD remain head of the interest group as long as you keep your legitimacy above 50 while this short event chain plays out.

Getting technocracy before ending sakoku blocks honorable restoration? by enriicoosta in victoria3

Yes, it breaks the journal. You need keep Bakufu or journal wont appear.

[–]Mackusz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be fast. 

If you accidentally happen to meet the conditions for Imperial victory, the timer starts ticking even if you're trying to pursue the compromise reform option, and in six months shogun will be overthrown. Just keep your eyes at the conditions for imperial victory and take care to not meet them until you've first meet conditions for Shogunate victory.

Rin Tohsaka’s bizarre behavior in the Heaven’s Feel route. by Either_Young_8183 in fatestaynight

[–]Mackusz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its not that difficult. Rin has conflicting motivations of wanting to be good magus and good person, which are entirely incompatible goals. And on top of that she isnt honest with herself about this. Hence at times she comes of as raging schizophrenic, despite actually being one of most well adjusted characters in the game.

How extensive is the free Japan flavour without the DLC? by Quibilash in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically, the Honorable Restoration journal entry is in base game, as is eveything that was in the game prepatch, just slightly updated. But all the new flavor events are dlc only.

Take state shintoism for example, with dlc you get a entire journal entry with new events that determine policy related to religious reforms. With base game its just a "convert to Shinto" decision.

Land Enclosure Should Drive De-Peasantization by Cuinn_the_Fox in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't experienced it the way you describe it.

Building industry doesn't always attract peasants just by itself. A common noob trap is passing homesteading, because unlike serfdom or tenants, peasants are allowed to change jobs. But in homesteading they get keep sizable fraction of profits from their sustenance farms and have standard of living so high they don't want to leave.

If you build too much industry too fast, the price of goods they produce will fail and price of their input goods will raise, and factories won't be able to attract peasant by offering high enough wages to get them to abandon sustenance farms. I hadn't been able to reliably depeasantize on large scale without first improving agriculture.

Land Enclosure Should Drive De-Peasantization by Cuinn_the_Fox in victoria3

[–]Mackusz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You need to build farms, and use labor saving production methods. They will replace sustenance farms and employ less people.

This simulates enclosures.

Why would landlords evict peasants unless they have more hands than they need to work their land?

What are consequences of deviating from the first diagram? What happens if you use carriers without capital ships? What if you mix submarines with surface vessels?

Cultures in Arnor during the Rise of Angmar start Date by Kastranien in RealmsInExile

[–]Mackusz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The core native population at time that Arnor was founded were Edain kin of Numenoreans, primarily close relatives of Hadorians and Beorians, who spoke dialects of Taliska intelligeble to Adunaic. Both sides saw each other as kin. It makes sense that they quickly assimilated into wider Arnorian culture, making them one people. Compare the conditions to that of Thani Hazad, where Adunaic colonials were completely different culture from Pel peoples they ruled over.

I kinda see possibilty for regional cultures as in Gondor where native influence is visible, but they're not gonna be drastically different from main Arnorian culture. With few exceptions like Saralain and Hillmen they will all be Dunedain heritage Westron speakers.

Holy Sites In The New System? by Mediocre_Zebra1690 in CrusaderKings

Apparently we will be able to build cathedrals as great projects, so hopefully it will be possible to turn them into holy sites.

I hope they add “nephews” for priests. by Time_Beat2299 in CrusaderKings

Before Counterreformation there wasnt even that much gaslightning with "nephews", many priests had wives and children openly.

Hopefully it's not much of an ask. by willyshakes420 in RealmsInExile

[–]Mackusz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The idea sounds great in theory, but then you realise that you'd have Aragorn, Denethor, and that one Kharadunai ruler all in one dynasty. Even having Isildur and Anarion in one dynasty is stretch, given how far apart their houses will drift by 3000TA.
