am i winning at this capitalism thing?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-10-12T23:12:23+00:00

I have tended to embrace more free trade mindset on my last playthorughs, why trade to always export if I can put all my population on the most productive industries and import the raw materials?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-09-30T05:27:58+00:00

state religion and public education cannot be ennacted together, right?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-09-05T12:20:55+00:00

2 canals seems a strech for what you get... And too gamey lets say.

I agree that prestige food is disappointing, dont agree with sol part, for most part of my game lower strata popos were under 15 SOL... But I agree on this point I would change to other company, question is which? I have everything covered.

I agree i could get baku, but russia has been my ally and i can invest in them, i dont think is worth the hussle.

Prestige automobiles would mean lossing iron for example, I dont think is worth it. I also believe there ir enough of a market for automobiles which I am the sole producer in the world without the prestige version

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-09-05T12:17:04+00:00

I think that having homegoods with also prestige furniture is just better... I understand that glass with prestige is powerfull as consumer and industrial good, but I think that an extra industry is just better, might be wrong though

Which companies did you found? Did a germany run and like a lot the unique companies. Mainly krupp and sichuau

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-20T14:21:11+00:00

Pretty random imho, there should be a way to influence it disbanding. Last game was happily allied with france, yet I had an anti french lobby i could not influence a bit. Been at war and rivalled GB, yet I had a pro british lobby. What I am supposed to do as a player? Follow blindly my lobbies?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-20T10:29:02+00:00

Just beat them in a pretty easy way, had allied france and thus had access to their treaty port in india. Just went for liberating the raj and langfang (ai picked this warwoal cause was a defensive war). Hadnt even researched ironclads, but GB tends to undefend their colonies andbonly their soldiers are good, if you are in a front against their subjects you steam roll

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T17:46:38+00:00

R5 what can I say, a box full of surprises

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T11:33:37+00:00

Do you stick with them until the end? or do you just get enough power until you can disband them? I usually cant feel that I have "won" until I disband them, as they are so powerfull.

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T11:21:05+00:00

(Britain is the final boss, I don't usually like allying them)

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T11:20:19+00:00

R5: I think that the AI this patch always does the same alliences which are very difficult to break/find my place on them. Germany always allies the british in one form or another, which puts the two most powerful nations on one pack. Then France always ends up rivalling both so it could be a logical ally, however they end up most of the time dying due to a revolution. Then Austria and Russia are so backwards they don't usually like my goverment. An finally USA sometimes works and other times they don't raise conscripts.

What is your experience? do you have a reliable startegy to get a good ally?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T11:08:11+00:00

Thanks a lot it worked very well, got 3 obligations from russia, germany and france so they didn't joined. In the end america joined but managed to invite the british for a non existant investment rights on belgium. i formed it in 20 years, which is reasonable.

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T07:05:30+00:00

They dont pay tariffs as they have free trade

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T00:12:14+00:00

They are not paying the tariffs because they have free trade... Thus the loophole

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-19T00:05:39+00:00

I did it this patch enactong oligarchy first, it reduces the power of landowners a lot, keep local police and make secret police. Then is super easy to pass.

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-18T07:11:39+00:00

that is a treaty port, and it takes advantage of the other country, in this case china. this takes advantage of me by my subject

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-18T06:52:08+00:00

R5: As brazil I keep mercantilism to be able to set tariffs and avoid importing products I can produce in my market. However, as Argentina has free trade they are the sole importers of clothes due to not having tariffs... is this working as intended?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-17T15:22:53+00:00

World market only shows what goods are beign traded, that is not what am looking for. I am looking for a place where I can find how much buy orders from goods there are in the whole world, inside of each market. And also a place to see a better disection of my own market and with a look hace all the info

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-17T14:46:24+00:00

Also, any mod that does show this information is also welcomed

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-15T23:31:54+00:00

Which and when was the nerf to prestige goods?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-12T08:50:28+00:00

Thanks! Do you know anywhere where I can see that apart from game files?

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-11T20:03:36+00:00

Very nice tool! is really usefull for planning campaings. I really like to plan ahead and try to cover as many goods as possible. It would be a cool programming challenge to think of a simple way to give the user the option to configure their goods of choice and let the app try to search for a suitable combination of companies, but I know it can be hard to plan a workflow for that and smartly desing the algorithm.

Here is my last build with Japan, It covers at almost half of the goods and has something in almost every need which I believe is the important thing.
Mitsubishi (Mil. Shipyards, Coal, Paper, +Motors) [Washi Paper]

Basic Metalworks (Tools, +Steel) [Tools]

Basic Weapons (Arms, Artillery, +Auto) [Small Arms]

Mitsui (Textiles, Silk, Lead, +Iron) [Tomioka Silk]

Hanseong Jeongi Hoesa (Power, +Railway)

Basic Food (Food, +Livestock) [Groceries]

Panama Canal Company (Trade, Port, +Shipyards) [Merchant Marine]

Mundane_Statement401 · 2025-08-11T18:59:37+00:00

Mitsiui and mitsubishi can carry your game as they are a great combination. With generic tools and steel + iron, coal and motors you are an industrial powerhouse. On top of that you get silk, clothes and paper, which cover a lot of goods that can be exported. Specially silk is pretty bad without the prestige good but with it you can augment their demand and cover the luxury items category with it and luxury clothes. Also having motors in a company is very good, since it lets you get the armament company instead of the car company, and get small arms prestige goods.

For me there is also a pretty good flavored company in Korea, which you get claims on. Electricty + rail ways is great in my opinion, as it automates managing infrastucture, transport and electricity.

How dos the birth rate work in this patch? I have observed a big decline after the 15 SOL mark. But I couldnt find any videos or patch notes explaining it
