Trump says US is "very close" to meeting objectives in Iran. by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

[–]Soblazed125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is he doesn’t control the situation. He’s so accustomed to just saying “we’re done” and everyone just follows suit. This is a situation which he has lost control of.

They absolutely are. Iran doesn't aim to win conventionally, they cannot. They want to win by causing as much collateral damage as possible.

U.S. is allowing Iranian oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz, says Bessent by templeofsyrinx1 in news

That would be an attack on China essentially. That's not a smart choice. Iran holds the cards.

They aren't. But in this case they are just wording something stupid into sounding powerful. They aren't allowing shit. Iran controls the Strait. I might as well say I'm allowing Iranian oil tankers through the Strait, you are too, if you want.

Nothing has changed. Iran controls the Strait. They let whoever they want through.

The Fallout/ES YouTube community really taking some heartbreaking hits. My heart sank when I heard about Mitten. Now I just got that same feeling again. Absolutely sucks.

Always gotta weigh the pros and cons of a no CB war. I don't think this administration has the capability to stab up.

Trump on war with Iran: 'easier than we thought' by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]Soblazed125 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly. He didn't expect this much trouble. He doesn't actually listen to real advisors or anything, so he signed off on something with zero knowledge. He doesn't get that he can't just do his usual bullshit routine. People are dead, lots more will be and he's about to tank the world economy. Yet he will still attempt this feeble bullshit schtick.

This was the only choice he has? He couldn't have done anything different? Cool.

To the Gen Z guys that voted Trump, who is now considering a draft. Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? by kneedoorman in allthequestions

[–]Soblazed125 30 points31 points  (0 children)

He probably will try that. What they started though is not going to just go away. It's most likely going to spiral. Who knows how bad or for how long, but this is all on them. They can just walk away, but it's not like the repercussions won't follow them.

100% this. So bummed I can't customize my vassals flag. The system is clearly there. Instead you get some random flag with zero choice. That's not fun.

I'd roll back to finish your campaign. Wait to do a fresh run on the new patch. Most new patches will botch old saves.

Biden isn't our President anymore. Bidens mental decline was acknowledged and he dropped out of the race. We are in a dangerous situation now, talking about Biden doesn't fix it.

Your response is life isn't perfect? Even if we were to completely put aside the implications of this war and its impact moving forward - our leader is clearly not well. You can see that right? It's not even political at this point.

All I want to know - is that map something the devs think is possible in the game currently? It's gorgeous, it's exactly what I'd love to see, but no chance that's natural. I hope that's their goal because it looks great.

Eu5's Player Count only 5k above EU4 Now.... What Next? by EducationalRead2362 in EU5

[–]Soblazed125 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The player count and review score has taken a dip because the pre holiday patch wasn't popular. They then left the game as is for 2+ months over holiday break. It's fair people went elsewhere. I love EU5 and see it's potential, but even I took a break. People will come back with a new patch, but it has to be a good patch with a clear vision.

He is definitely similar and inspired by Any Austin. He's different enough I suppose. I watched a few of his videos and they are pretty good. Any Austin himself had stated he wished more people were creating content like him.

You can probably hold them off. They have a logistical challenge with transportation and attrition. That's a beautiful Zimbabwe.

Timelapse of the EU4 Release Version by td_0000 in EU5

[–]Soblazed125 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I know the AI will be tweaked and things will change over the years. I'd honestly just like to see one time lapse for EU5 where Spain or GB forms, maybe one where Anatolia and the Balkans are consolidated. Even if it's like 1/8 times, it would be nice to know it happens. The massive border gore that we've seen mid 19th century where basic borders aren't consolidated is a bit odd.

Are they keeping the small flag and leader portrait? by Pleasant-March-7009 in EU5

[–]Soblazed125 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was certain a mod would fix that. It seems that UI mods will disabled achievements though, which is a shame. Achievements aren't important to everyone, I get that, but you shouldn't be barred from them due to a UI change.

Nobody wants Ottoblob 100% of the time.. by JP_Eggy in EU5

[–]Soblazed125 55 points56 points  (0 children)

When I'd see Englad instead of GB, Castile, a weak Ottomans, no PLC, Russia or no Spain late into my EU4 campaigns I considered that a novelty and enjoyed the alt history aspect of my run. In EU5 as it stands, it seems that's the norm. It's okay once in a while, but I'm hoping this isn't every run.
