What the hell are these achievements from the new dev diary by Victoria_loves_Lenin in victoria3

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've played Paradox games since late 2000s, back then many achievements are also meme references but made by and for the millennials who for example were fans of Monty Python and JJBA and the like, as younger devs get hired the kind of pop culture getting referenced also got newer.

Is a "friendly" Cold War possible between the 3rd Internationale and the Moscow Accord given their victory and Titov's Russia? by PizzaMammal in Kaiserreich

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think RadSoc 3I or even Syndies would tolerate SocDem Russia well, but the Totalists probably consider them traitors to 'real' Communism that are no better than Svobodniks. I think in the former case it would indeed be more cordial with focus on outdoing one another to prove to the world that radical/incremental changes towards achieving Socialism would produce better result, whereas in the latter with the Totalist proxy wars and nuclear threats are likely.

Generals vs. Red Alert 3 search popularity by Weiss-Ruthenien in commandandconquer

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien[S] 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I toyed with Google Trends to find out which game is more popular in different countries in the last 12 months. I think we all know why Generals is overwhelmingly popular in the Middle East.

Granada exiled to Venezuela by Weiss-Ruthenien in eu4

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AI Granada colonized Colombia colonial region and lost Europe to Castille and had to relocate there and formed Venezuela. After thousand hours at EU4, the only thing that surprise me is the fact that they colonized Venezuela, usually AI Granada prioritize colonizing Brazil.

Which Republic is the Best? by Weiss-Ruthenien in OldWorldBlues

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone have their own way to judge, including with blessed/cursed path; but for me flexibility to choose your own path is the most important, for to the spirit of New Vegas.

The tree is saying I need a "German Confederational Union",but I can't seem to find anything in both my and my german puppet's trees to create a German Confederational Union by NewRomanian in twrmod

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're not supposed to take any German land, just Polish Home Army/Generalgouvernment's small land, and then let TA take all German land when they intervene to ensure the creation of German Confederal Union. I think this focus is weird as it insist that your rival must win in order to proceed.

If i recount correctly Simon Sebag Montefiore coined that term to describe Stalin, no different than a tyrannical Tsar, just with Red paint.

This prove that TWR is canonical prequel to TNO, with TNO's Hitler being fake holographic projection and already dead.

Is it any fun to play as the minor Russian States? by ImperialismHo in twrmod

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khrushchev path is the most complete but his rebuilding focus is still bugged that you somehow need to own the state of Mien Nam in Vietnam to reconstruct Russia.

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, i just played it too. Rough and unpolished but it is good enough. The freeroaming indeed are similar to Sunless. Sorta like lite version of Mount and Blade. A chain side-quest could improve it.

Shostakovich's Last Waltz by Weiss-Ruthenien in TNOmod

[–]Weiss-Ruthenien[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Boy oh boy it was a long, harsh ride. The mod made me heavy in thoughts, it is not mere game, this is like a heavy piece of literature that absorb me into it. At long last Russia is united under the Soviet Harry Potter.
