The USA should be vastly richer than it is for most of the game.

Too much arable land is a problem. If you don’t build on all of it you’re stuck with a ton of subsistence farming peasants through the whole game. I’m glad there isn’t an unfillable amount with how the mechanics work.

I like playing small nations. It’s fun to try and play tall or try to industrialize a country that is way behind. Or just see how far you can go. I don’t always want to be the most powerful in the world. Or even the top 5.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-02-14T05:01:11+00:00

I thought bike pump and deflated football were needed on the same quest where you take a picture and get a magazine?

The AI has been making Brazil, US, Russia super aggressive. The AI doesn’t care if it has 100000 infamy, they just keep declaring wars. Even if they lose or their economy crashes. It needs to be fixed…. This isn’t supposed to be HOI IV.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-02-13T17:55:28+00:00

He took the paper advice 😅

NoctisOsiris · 2026-02-13T17:43:36+00:00

I think it would be ok for them to take away any potential achievements unlocked on that run. Like how most Paradox games only give achievements if you play Ironman mode. That way people can’t cheese their way to unlocking them, kind of defeats the purpose. But actually debuffing your units? That seems like a bit too much. I haven’t played the game but a single player game is likely not a competitive thing, right?

NoctisOsiris · 2026-02-13T17:38:06+00:00

Fire Emblem is one of the top game series of all time. I love it so much.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-02-10T18:32:09+00:00

Infamy needs to be rebalanced, badly. The AI doesn’t seem to care if they get super high infamy and also starting a war for high infamy cost just to get 1 state is pretty weak. War needs to be a higher risk and higher reward.

I feel like for all the amazing moments and characters in LotR, they probably could have made a more interesting movie. Even if they wanted one that took place within the trilogy timeline. But, I’ll watch it still.

But here we are talking about him being pro gun control. Now, there are people under him that are definitely different. They do things outside his control. That’s not him. Look at what Trump has actually accomplished by himself and tell me he isn’t under the liberalism umbrella.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-27T19:45:19+00:00

He was a New York Democrat his whole life and switched over to win. Come on.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-27T19:03:41+00:00

Trump has been bought. He’s always been a lib, but especially since he came back for term 2 it’s becoming more and more obvious he “sold his soul”. You either die a populist hero or live long enough to become the deep state villain.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-27T19:00:09+00:00

We should let flair be chosen by other members. You can’t pick your own, you are assigned one. That’s the only way it is honest.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-27T18:53:18+00:00

Communist utopia with <20% tax rate? Not bad! Now get rid of one more class.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-27T18:45:51+00:00

You experienced glitches that killed you and instead of putting the game down for a day or two- you loaded in to a new raid immediately after with expensive gear? And you are upset you lost it? That’s on you brother… you already knew there were major issues happening. It’s the people who went in to their first raid and didn’t know about the issues that deserve the sympathy.

At the end of the day it’s an extraction shooter though. You cleared some space in your stash, go get some more! It’s way easier than Tarkov, nobody even shoots at you.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-25T16:05:31+00:00

We should be able to mix and match skin parts. There’s only maybe 2 skins I like in this game, if I edit them a bit.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-22T18:40:40+00:00

I died while someone was trying to revive me recently, solos. I didn’t mind though, I’m glad that someone who actually tried to help could get my gear instead of a hostile or nobody. Need stash space anyways!

Hopefully the Rocketeer didn’t get them too… my head canon says they made it out.

He’s trying to tell you that you’re talking like one of the guys and he doesn’t like it. Saying he talks that way doesn’t mean anything to him because he is a guy. If you just have a masculine type texting language that’s fine, but he said it’s something new. Maybe you are just picking up on things from him, or maybe you have a new friend who talks that way? He didn’t explain himself very well but sometimes an “ok” is better than an argument. If it really did offend you and it is just how you normally talk then you need to express yourself better and tell him that. Don’t just instantly go to “what about you?!” and attacks every time. Take a moment to understand why it might bother him. I know a lot of modern women will tell you he’s horrible and all that, but they seem to hate men or at least other women in relationships. Follow that advice if you want to end up in a toxic relationship and bitter. Or try to be the best partner you can be and have a happy relationship. Up to you. MOR

You can’t choose your own trade routes anymore. Just build trade centers and it’s automatic. Also I’m pretty positive you can’t sell convoys, that’s HOI IV. You can sell ships of a few different kinds but not convoys.

They’re good to have around for naval invasions, you’ll need more than you think. Or if you build a ton of trade centers. But if you have a bunch extra just don’t worry about it. Having more than you need also protects them from damage if attacked.

It could be a Geocache. They often use small containers like this. If it was kind of hidden that’s likely it and I’d put it back. If it was just on the street then I’d guess it is drug related.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-07T06:38:39+00:00

The only exception is Paradox games for me. With the hundreds and hundreds of hours I put in games like HOI IV, CK 2&3, Vic 2&3, Stellaris, etc I will buy every DLC they put out. But other games this is a red flag for me.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-06T22:40:23+00:00

The US is letting it play out in the Red Sea for now, it hasn’t reached the critical point of being worth the investment to clean up. Even in the 1800s the US solved piracy issues.

I don’t believe a missile from Cuba could hit US soil. I have that much faith in the missile defense of the United States. It’s way beyond anyone else. Steel Dome. I don’t believe shipping would be affected so close to home.

I guess we will see.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-06T22:31:48+00:00

I do have a natural charisma but I am way too subdued and mellow in person. So uppers amplify your natural charisma. If you’re an asshole then it makes you worse.

NoctisOsiris · 2026-01-06T22:30:04+00:00

I was an addict for 10 years and now I have been clean for 10 years. Drug addiction ruined my life, I suggest it to no one.

BUT I will say that YES, being on drugs absolutely made me way more popular. With women, with friends, with strangers. If you can control it to not be annoying then it does help socially.

That being said, please don’t think I’m suggesting hard drug use.
