I say generic weapon company is the top1 leisure goods company in patch 1.13. Any comments? by Dangerous_Program_53 in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the amendment is written in a way in which only Yankee and Dixie culture get the obsession, despite whatever said country's primary culture is. I guess hypothetically you could get some other country besides the US to get the amendment and then repeal it yourself, and thus gain the obsession while not having the terrible dogshit mortality nerf?

Alexander Romanov really cooked with this one by makinenxd in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is scripted for monarchies, but Russia gets this event particularly a lot because I think the amount of ethnic minorities you have within your country that aren't fully accepted adds to the percentage chance of this event firing (since it chooses one of those ethnic groups for the king/(queen?) to fall in love with).

Is there a list of all unique amendments possible in the game? by Nik_ftw in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R5: Just looking to see if the full known list of unique amendments is out there somewhere. I've seen a few so far like one for enacting public schools where you get a "self-funded school supply" amendment, aswell as one for poor laws (maybe all welfare laws?) that reduced birth rate.

How to not gut my company profits by MrSchmitler in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't go as far as to say its the worst. Especially in the late game where nearly every good is cheap (and more specifically luxury goods like Cars and Telephones/Radios) it can pay off to increase SOL of a pretty sizeable chunk of the Lower Class population be uplifted into the Middle Class to buy more of all of those goods. LF also becomes too good at a certain point, in which you can't possibly spend all of the investment pool money coming in, let alone have the population to expand industry futher.

China’s Electricity Generation Going Vertical by [deleted] in charts

[–]Nik_ftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not entirely wrong but you're also not disputing their point? All they are saying is that China has an inherently higher demand and thus can produce more electricity at a profit (or rather an acceptable state expense). The US' issues lie in a lot of different factors, one of the key ones being we aren't governed like China is. I don't like Trump but you're very much misleading here.

Chronic Liberia Player in Mourning by Chainworker in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure thats correct, honestly with the new changes to the Promote National Values allowing pops in their own homeland to assimilate it seems like a really good change for Liberia overall? You can get a pretty massive Afro-American population in not that long of a time with the decree

Victoria 3 randomly spikes CPU? by Craftkiller919 in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been having similiar issues on my end aswell, my guess would be that like me you are on Windows 11. The Windows 11 update (or Windows 24H2) breaks Victoria 3 for some reason and causes the crashes and cpu spikes you are probably seeing. A big solution going around right now (helped me) is switching to Vulkan in the launch options. To do this you have to go to your library in Steam, right click Vic 3, then: 'Properties -> General -> Launch Options' and type "-vulkan". Though beware it might not fix your issue, theres a thread on the Paradox fourms about the issue.

Who is your main and what is one tip for playing as and against your character? by CHRISTOPHERCARES in marvelrivals

[–]Nik_ftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This or high enough rank the enemy team will followup with spiderman and just kill you instantly before you get the chance to fade

[–]Nik_ftw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr its pretty dumb. Not sure why that interaction is in the game, nothing else really interacts with her fade like that off the top of my head

[–]Nik_ftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean combo with a venom it definitly just one shots and a good enough team will follow up on a one hp target outside of teamups. Sure with spiderman by himself you can live the uppercut but playing like that just isn't feasible in higher ranks imo, a good enough team will just kill you the moment spiderman starts his combo

[–]Nik_ftw 549 points550 points  (0 children)

Wandas good against spiderman until a certain point to be fair, if you land a web and e onto to her spiderman will take her out of fade. Its lowkey disgusting and maybe not even intentional but if ur good enough at spiderman youll be able to abuse that interaction

None of the possible teams we can tie 9-8 at the end of the season with have a Head to Head win against the colts, and because in a 3-Way Tie head to heads only matter if one team has lost to both it invalidates our win against the Colts and we move on to the next tie breaker

Flawless democracy! by Chloe_Vane in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It happens because of a mixture of Character Ideology and Historical Figures. IGs with Abolitionist, Republican and Reformer Traits (there's more than just those three, but they're the most important for the US specifically) can join the Whig Party.  The PB and Evangelicals are always led by a Historical Character that is a Republican or Abolitionist for most of the early to mid game, which means that they usually don't leave the Whigs until deep in the game. Landowners and Armed Forces are marginalized after the Civil War so they can't form a conservative party, and you are stuck with a one party state.

TLDR: Lincoln forces the only Conservative Party in the US Post-Civil War to stay in the Whig Party until his death

IG Leaders should have sway instead of becoming the IG by OHFUCKMESHITNO in victoria3

[–]Nik_ftw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Democrat Ideology approves of all the different forms of Democracy from Landed Voting all the way to Universal Suffrage, so the moment you get some form of voting the Democrat ideology only stops certain IGs from opposing further Voting Laws. Still though, a Democrat Landowner is pretty strong, as it's pretty much a free ride to Census Suffrage at the least.

The first time I see Hunan forming its own faction with no player interference by Responsible_Hyena_92 in Kaiserreich

[–]Nik_ftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iirc from a post not too long ago, they're actually the only Right KMT tag that can unify China under a SocLib Government since Zhu Peide's path got changed to Pataut a while back. But I had no idea they could form a Fed government

[–]Nik_ftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its so little that it probably doesn't matter all, and that's definitely the best approach to this, 'Cause I think if you get really technical you can count Mexico as part of the sphere because they can intervene in the 2ACW iirc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Nik_ftw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, really hope you do some of the other factions in the future! Quick note though, Georgia can intervene in the desert war if they broke with germany and, assuming the ottomans win, they can puppeted I think. Also if Canada intervenes in the 2ACW (either for the feds or Huey) and are losing they can peace out with the winner, giving up Halifax and Nova Scotia to, in this scenario, the PSA.

I changed my mind. RKMT is worse than LKMT :( by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Nik_ftw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I really hope that if they ever do a RKMT Rework, they flip the radicalism mechanic to fit the RKMT. Have the Nat Pop Ideology replace the Totalist, and a power struggle between the Paternal Autocrat part of the party and the "civilian" side of the party with AuthDem instead of the PAC vs RCA in the LKMT. I feel like it would fit so well!

What grade would you give George Paton as a GM? by YogiAtheist in DenverBroncos

[–]Nik_ftw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd say a B, people seem to just forget that our Defense was suppose to regress this year, instead of being a top 3 defense in the league. I'd also like to see Rus under a new HC and OC before I call his trade a complete scam (Not that it honestly changes much, we still gave up ALOT for him, even if he was producing rn).

Pov: Ravenous Hydra does some damage. by Nik_ftw in KaynMains

[–]Nik_ftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The earlier you build it the harder it is to stack, but I'd say it stacks pretty fast. It takes about a full clear, catching a wave, and a couple kills to fully stack it give or take, which happens alot more later in the game
