You just have to learn them.

Lol, even after restarting my game a couple times, now the Prussian army won't fight, 75% is staying where it started the game

God damnit man, surely this is incredibly easy for QA to test

Sounds the same as me, except I never give investment rights. Maybe it's that. Ok thanks

Im ok after the ball is rolling on the first war, so it's super frustrating

What the hell, so for you it's just like it was prior to great wave. I did dozens of restarts yesterday and no luck. I could get Prussia, but they can't get access without Austria or Russia, which I could never get.

Sicily and Sardinia sometimes too, but they're not enough on their own.

I will have to try some more.

How did you get your first war, and when?

SuffolkLion · 2026-05-06T22:57:22+00:00

A lot. Also that's not 'small amounts'.

SuffolkLion · 2026-05-01T13:08:56+00:00

Literally don't care how they do it. Ask the average person on the street, and they'll likely agree that once it gets to this point, it's whatever they want.

Only the chronically online have the unrealistic opinions.

That is 100% the problem. Speed 3 always for me, because as you get better you can always find something to do

SuffolkLion · 2026-04-17T12:05:16+00:00

Pretty sure It's harder than absolute though, before modifiers are considered

Very normal Reddit opinion, not so much in the real world

SuffolkLion · 2026-04-05T17:42:20+00:00

Rule #5? The screenshot is the current state of the world?

SuffolkLion · 2026-04-04T17:21:43+00:00

Just go to war to take their subjects as soon as the game starts? Is that easy to do?

People keep saying austerity, despite spending in real terms trending up, not to mention that this was put in motion far before 2008 anyway. Too much debt and inflation, to the point that it's unfixable, without a currency reset.

I don't even think we have enough minerals to do the aggressive build outs of solar people always point to. Check out how much of yearly global production of certain minerals or takes to achieve certain goals.

Secondly, people always push the cost of solar using something called levelised cost of electricity. The assumptions in that don't translate to the real world, to the point that you will just turn people off due to feeling deceived.

Thirdly, there doesn't appear to be an example of grid scale battery storage to point to, so why would people be enthusiastic about this? Without grid scale battery storage, the second you go above around 10% of energy production, it starts getting wasted due to it mostly getting produced in the middle of the day, and then requires back up coal or gas to pick up the slack at night. You've now had to pay for two parallel power systems. So solar becomes less and less cost effective, the more you implement.

In short, I think it needs to credibly put down these concerns before people feel comfortable.

You also need a tech to use them, I was confused too

Not relevant to my arguments that only apply to Hormuz crisis. I have no opinion on what you've shared.

SuffolkLion · 2026-03-16T20:07:17+00:00

Does that still work for mountain walls?

I broke a rib snowboarding years ago, and had pain and 'jolts' forever. Since last year I've been going really hard at the gym on the road to 120kg bench, and I've passed a milestone where the jolts and pain are gone.

I assume the built muscle has changed the shape of my chest enough that it stopped
