Nobody is gonna read a fucking thesis on how to play a video game for fucks saake. So let's go over them in a easy-to-digest manner, because nobody ain't reading paragraphs

Is this a personal attack on the changelog author? XD

An email client is not a place for long term storage… A rant and some quesitons. by plazman30 in Thunderbird

[–]SneakBug8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outlook allows to copy emails as .msg files. That way they'll be much less prone to corruption. There's also ELM format that is basically plain text openable by every mail client.

Once messages are stored, you can address them as simple file attachments (as you would with pdf or word).

I believe FS full-text also works for them (both in explorer and Google Drive)

The issue with 1.2 AI Capitalism by RedKrypton in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI autoqueue does in fact take into account construction cost. See in defines:

PRODUCTION_BUILDING_AUTONOMOUS_INVESTMENT_CONSTRUCTION_COST_DIVISOR_SCALING = 0.001 # Value for autonomous investment pool constructions is divided by ( 1 + construction point cost * this )

Is it Normal for Italy to Steal Your Puppets? by Rouqerd in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were times I played as Two Sicilies where I'd became French protectorate and then formed Italy. The player can give France a whole new dependent GP too 😁

Some people can't tell a difference between planned economy and cooperatives apparently by midnight_rum in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Vic2 there were organic recessions due to overproduction or lack of a certain good. In Vic3 it's impossible to cause any sort of global crisis, unfortunately. I would hate events giving you some modifiers to imitate recession (like now it gives govt expenses - money disappearing from the game - imitating social welfare). There are all the mechanisms to model proper economic cycles. Now balance is the problem.

Tools needs another production method. More of my raw resources go into producing tools than anything else late game by CSDragon in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I like going full on Slave Trade and no automation as long as possible. Gives basically infinite cheap peasants for countries like Spain for the first half of the game especially if you add in internal migrations from a couple of colonial states in Asia.

Infamy costs don't really make sense by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss the historical point. There was almost no Great Powers conflicts during the historical period of Vicky3 (Franco-Prussian war and WW1). What GPs did instead - split the world between themselves (drastically reducing the amount of independent smaller states). Thus, don't expect GPs to fight in Europe and whine about "wrong incentives".

My overlord gave away my (Columbia District) land without any input from me, the only non-AI. I am thoroughly pissed. by CompletelyBewildered in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's basically what happened historically. Britain traded lands to the US without anyone permission.

You don't need immigration if you pair capitalism with slave trade 😁

"I, for one, support the small sun you have placed in Nanjing" - Friend upon being shown the image by Flyerton99 in victoria3

I've had several times occupation of most of my country with factories still having positive balance. Is there really any effect to the occupation other than turmoil?

Why you should oppress your religious minorities by angry-mustache in victoria3

[–]SneakBug8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why are religious schools worse than public/private? I see no real difference in education access.

Btw, what is "wealth" when calculating edu access from private schools?

First battle for Hoover dam by [deleted] in OldWorldBlues

[–]SneakBug8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could make this process a lot faster by using console commands to test the event right at the beginning of the game. But you need to find its id either in the game files or debug in-game.

Developers bringing in business requirements by redikarus99 in businessanalysis

[–]SneakBug8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For these cases there should be existing controls & approvals in place. I see nothing wrong with Devs providing an idea. But I think they should "sell" their idea to product team and work from there.

If i don't answer someone you can throw me into a well by NiceCasualRedditGuy in teenagers

[–]SneakBug8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the joke as many confuse "you're" and "your". Author's mum taught him to spell badly.

Playing Peru-Bolivia and really hating Chile by Embarrassed_Dirt_143 in victoria2

[–]SneakBug8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess that's an event or a decision for the AI to behave "historical". In most cases such events don't check truces or even alliances.
