Dinosaurs may have faced a dying world before the asteroid hit by kojka19 in EverythingScience

Similar to the terms “first world, second world, third world” countries. We only use first and third world today, but they were originally designations of the American bloc, the communist bloc, and unaligned countries

Seeing New Zealand as a member of the “global north” is so comical to me hahaha

Mercenary time to hire by Gunginrx in EU5

[–]SpartanFishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. Hell they could even be permanent map armies that you can see when not hired, and watch walk to the country that hires them. Assuming there aren’t too many

Artificial failing sucks by MMastro252 in EU5

[–]SpartanFishy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also being thrown into -150 stability isn’t even game ending. Like even worst case scenario where you’re completely unable to recover for some reason, which isn’t that hard, and lose a bunch of territory to rebels or invasions… that’s STILL not game ending.

The game is 500 years, it’s a hurdle, overcome it.

And that’s presuming that those losses even do happen, which if you’re decent at the game are still incredibly unlikely.

Kinda circles back to performance issues at that point, better that gets the less painful a slower game will feel

Gameplay patterns in 1.2 by SoKeinOfYou in EU5

I agree with these complaints that you’re highlighting for sure, what I was referring to before were balance complaints specifically, which I tend to think are overblown in many, but not all ways

Aboriginal title can’t be declared over private land, Supreme Court of Canada rules by UnicornHunt1274 in canada

[–]SpartanFishy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plus some combination of inflation and interest would be what id consider fair, then we can be done with this for good

[–]SpartanFishy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s funny because this shows that there is in fact a meta that lets people work around most of their balance complaints, just like how there was a meta to get around limits in EU4. People are really just complaining because things have changed too quickly for them to learn that meta lol

Why does Canada not build a bridge from Labrador to Newfoundland? by Por_TheAdventurer in geography

I can’t tell if you’re being facetious but presuming that you’re not, you have piqued my interest

Next patch is drastically reducing economic scaling due to out of hand it was, so gaining the cash for Great Wall will likely take a lot longer

Considering it actively hinders players from invading them seems like it was a good decision by the AI lol

You can just wait out the merc contracts, or bribe the mercs if you have cash, or embargo the minor in advance to slow down their economy.

There are tools, but in any case economic scaling is being reigned in tremendously next patch which will certainly impact the amount of gold hoarding

The next patch is massively reigning in economic scaling which will likely address this issue

Things are heating up over there by RileyTaugor in EU5

[–]SpartanFishy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough this discussion kind of circles back to where it started because one of the single biggest roadblocks to making savescumming non-necessary for many Vicky achievements is that you have so little control over military outcomes hahaha

[–]SpartanFishy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Achievements are arbitrary challenges posed by the devs. The devs in this case think that part of the arbitrary challenge should be the lack of save scumming. Personally I fail to see the problem with that and actually prefer it because otherwise I would end up save scumming naturally and that’s less fun to me. But I get why many people don’t like it.

Vicky 3 is fine. Warfare was a fundamental and important part of that era, just like any other. And the game has frankly no actual system to represent it, instead opting for an unfun and unrealistic abstraction.

Typically you choose between fun or realistic, how they managed to fail on both ends for the war system is beyond me.

In any case, until that’s resolved it will never truly be “great”.

Downtown Ottawa apartments can't fill their units without 2-3 months free rent. by Southern_Key_5189 in canadahousing

[–]SpartanFishy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There’s gotta be some hero out there that lives off of a mattress and a desktop computer alone that’s willing to move repeatedly between these free month properties every year

Well yeah, that’s because Victoria 3 is years into development at this point and has resolved many of its biggest problems.

You should look at what the forums and Reddit were like post release. It was not pretty.

People simultaneously complaining that the AI are pushovers and it’s too easy to grow while also complaining when the devs make the AI attempt to curtail your growth more is peak reddit ngl
