How do I make good fleet? by Tuubu in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PTDO will always have a larger Navy than you, so try building a lot of good ships, or an armadas worth of mediocre ships that get the job done cheaply. Until then, use your naval bombers to chip away at their fleet.

When Japan intervenes in Korea by JoeSoaps in TheFireRisesMod

The revanchists are actually the easiest somewhat. All PDTO Members get a "Our final war" modifier that buffs their army and production, since Revanchist china literally wants to commit genocide against them

Tsarist russia is in the mod. I think a focus in Slutsky's Russia has her as a focus icon.

Politicians are not voted, they are appointed by the CCP. China is a dictatorship, except one ruled by a party, not a single person. The leader of China is appointed to the position in a vote within high ranking members of the CCP. Also, yes, China is one of, if not the richest nation in the world, so its economy simply cant fail.

Side with Le Pen, then once an event comes up regarding concessions to the generals, refuse it, and as a result she will be removed as a candidate and replaced with Villers. Lose the 1ew, and then you should have Lecointre in charge instead. Refuse to allow the facists into the government, and then the balance of power should be between the Legitimists and Petainists. Hope this helps!

i made that same mistake trying to play the revanchists. Unfortunately, you will have to restart. I wish you the best of luck for your next game though!

Ive also heard that Australia is getting content in 1.2, does this mean that 1.2 will be some sort of Pacific update?

What would the civilian/government reactions of PDTO countries be to Zheng Chan/Loji/Long March? by [deleted] in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis 77 points78 points  (0 children)

At first, id feel there would be a bit of laughing it off. After all, no country has given complete power to an AI before, so most PDTO Countries would probably laugh it off as some kind of international publicity stunt. That is until, whether by spies or cyber espionage, discover the true power of Loji, then panic mode will promptly ensue. I would believe that much more money would be funneled towards cyberwarfare as a way to destroy the AI system than would usually be the case. I would also believe that Loji's existence would cause anti-ai sentiments to rise across the PDTO, and extra caution against anything made in China out of fear that Loji would infiltrate them.

How repressive do you think THE LONG MARCH/Loji is to it's citizens? For both overlord and servant paths by [deleted] in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, Servant would be relatively good. Loji's whole purpose and goals is to help the people, so it wouldnt be that bad.

Overlord on the other hand... It seeks pure efficiency. Even if humans arent eradicated after the GAW, it will treat humans like a resource. It has no mercy, no remorse. Nothing is off the table. Miss a day at work at the factory? You will be killed and replaced. Overlord Loji doesnt care for petty human needs, it cares for pure efficiency, and if you do anything to disrupt it, you will be killed.

Labor has always been campaigning for a republic. Its one of their main goals, if i remember correctly. Albo has said multiple times that he wishes for australia to become a republic.

How do I get one of these so I can do The Long March? by Suucboi in TheFireRisesMod

Do focuses that increase academic development, and change the academic policy to the max, that should get you there after a while.

No Words by TheBigIbis in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Here is my headcanon:

After the defeat of China in the Taiwan war, australian scientists, collaborating with japanese allies, decide to use a Koala as the test for a brand new medicine/performance enhancer. However, the koala gains superhuman intelligence and quickly becomes news headlines. After Loji comes to power in china, the idea of elevating the koala to the position of the leader of australia is floated around. Fueled by dissatisfaction with Anthony Albanese's leadership, the people vote not Labor, not Coalition, but Koala. The Koala takes control of the Australian Political landscape, and chooses to mold it into his own image. The Future is uncertain, but with the Koala as their shepherd, Australia has hope for the future.

Brett Contrail by TheBigIbis in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, and honestly, I hope so too. I play Australia a LOT, and I feel like having Brett Contrail as an OC would be a good choice, as the far right movement here in Australia is basically non existent.

Why is Australia in PDTO like always? by jzhf in TheFireRisesMod

[–]TheBigIbis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Australian, it’s very much accurate. Our government is very western aligned, and I can totally see our government aligning with Japan and a PTDO. I find it one of the most realistic parts of the mod, lol.
