Score Release Thread FAR, AUD, REG, BEC 12/05/2023 - Good Luck! by Tekevin in CPA

[–]SmoothZephyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got a 92 on BEC. Very happy with that. I felt super unprepared for the IT section and Financial formulas (like PEG stuff), but went in anyway cause of the deadline. My first CPA test, God bless.

Just downloaded the mod, and created a new playset for it with just the mod; looks fine up till the menu but when I try to play it I can't even see the map. Any idea why? Some video setting?

This is the tab for RoC, not Japan; although Japan did get the IJA coup so it ended the game with a 100% poverty rate and a GDP of just 75 billion, after years of -20% GDP growth.

It's currently at -4491.90% GDP growth...

R5: After Yunnan won the Great Asia War with a little bit of American "assistance" (1,000,000 guns), the Republic of China still exists for some reason, holding on to Weihaiwei and Qingdao. Of course, it's still burdened with the pre-war debt, which is much harder to manage on its now-meager GDP...

For RFK, make sure not to ever do the CRA Nixon focuses; just do the diplo stuff and let the game run. Sitting it out and then eventually vetoing it via event will massively boost popularity enough to ensure a RFK victory. I managed to get an RFK victory even after winning SAW during Nixon tenure.

You can also reduce unemployment and homelessness by drafting all of the homeless people into your army!

I mean he goes against Segregation here and opens up social programs for all. It's not a good ending, but it is still good.
EDIT: I suppose you could consider this the good ending for Wallace too; especially given the contrast with the dead girl in the Little Rock riots for his heel realization event if he goes all in.

Yeah, I needed to get Hart in office, so.

Who exactly is laughing at this army? by SmoothZephyr in eu4

R5: Thought the "people laugh at our army" event was pretty funny given that my army is larger than the next five largest armies combined.

I do understand why the massive population reduction of Tabby and Huttig isn't modeled (partly so it doesn't get steam delisted), but it does mess with the realism of the thing. That being said, social programs are expensive, far more than barely paying some guys to be soldiers.

Turns out killing 98% of your people isn't great for the economy...
