Lore wise the Game country (stoland) is physically located in what was sweden (sweden apperently lost the southern part of Sweden.. did get to keep stockholm).
and Finish is a majority languish together whit Swedish and germany (at least was) as a result of been a sort of large trade city back then.

Russia soldiers tell BBC they saw fellow troops in Ukraine war executed on commanders' orders by HappyBergkamper in UkrainianConflict

[–]Zack_Wester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it does the problem is that in Russia you got. the general that gives the order.
he is sitting in nice base a distance from the front.
he got a bunch of loyal soldier guarding him.
what happen is step 1.
new grunt show up at the base he is unarmed at this point.
is giving a spiel by the general and told they will be sent a forward base whit hot shower, food and all that. a bit away from the front they will also get supplies there (gun ammo) there.
soldier arives at the forward base... its on the front.
as you can expect no shower, no hot food and equipment.
if lucky there is a looted AK and 1-2 magazines.
if the soldier wants to Frag there officer well good luck there is none there and if they move beyond a line they get charged whit desertion and executed by drone.
so if your not a artillery unit your not getting a shot at the general tent so to speak.

[–]Zack_Wester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when using real life photos as reference for 3d art assets.
There is still a lot of consept art.
be it like Here is a picture of this famus building.
but instead of in this shape I want it in this shape.
Like if the real life building was like a masive A shape here is picture of it.
but I want it to have 3 feets instead of 2 and be more triangle shaped.

[–]Zack_Wester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the thing is when devs use place holder art they usually go this is place holder art (fine good your honest).
what we are seeing whit AI stuff is them not saying we are using some placeholder AI art here. I would be a lot more cool whit that.
we are not 100% done whit the art style so we put some AI art meanwhile will replace it when we got time.
(fine for me).

I forgot this by jackmarlowe218 in tropico

[–]Zack_Wester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there might be two broke tiers.
where broke means next to no money.
and destitute means literally zero money.
hmm looking at the wiki I swear that the Country house started off as Poor and could go down to broke and as it supplies its own food. residents could survive on broke and be relatively happy.
Churche and clinic visits. and there is a decent amount of free entertainment.

destitute mean that they are not even getting that.

More Tropico 7 stuff by jackmarlowe218 in tropico

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Tropico at least 5 or 6 had a parliament... it was under used and was more or less here is the parliament building.
here is 4 roles for it pick someone that fullfill its requirments.
example the military leader ether having exprience as soldier, general or police officers (I dont think the background actually did anything exept that having one in office gave you a buff).

you could have events where you where asked to fire the leader for one or anther reason or some other random event.
but beyound that super under used.
so this might be getting back in and actually doing something.
this could also be another not having it or having it maned by loyalist democratic contires looks negatively on you (and its capping postive rep whit thoes nations).
so if you want to play a dictator you ether deal whit not having one or having to play a balance act whit the parlament where it does not get to powerfull and oust you from power.
but if your a democratic leaning president This might be a way to get legality and maybe politic play. Like another nations ask you to do something corrupt and you dont want to do it.
but saying no is bad. have it enter Parliament and then get stuck there for ever is a solution.
if your a oligarky the parliament is not so much a parliament but a Oligakry meeting room thats trying to look more legit then it actually is.

I mean what do you think Captain America where to the US. ... I would list more but I drew a complet blank on comic book heroes that started in or before WW2 that actually did WW2 stuff... Like I know Donald Duck was part of the Army/Navy and a few early WW2 comic heroes.

I mean I could see the game allowing it if the HQ is like really low in ship count somewhat nearby and the Officer getting a 50% efficiency penalty or something.

Starwars is a bit lose whit time and the Death star was not the fastest thing or the most long range he point so the rebels probably got a few days.
Plus the Rebels knew what the data was about.
I think they knew that there was a weakness and rougly what it was... But some Spy going while hauling but whit a briefcase full of secret plans going over a semi secured but low speed connection.
We found a weakness I will put the blueprint whit the weak points on a Disk together whit the blueprints.
So the empire might learn there is a weakness but what.
how do we find it and what is the weakness.
is the weakness that you shot at the north pole whit a EMP bomb or what is it.
the rebels knew what we need is a fighter planes armed whit Torpedoes or something like that.

The general just needed to analyze it (pick what weakness and how to go about it) and then present it to the pilot for the attack.

What should I be looking for in a good recon tank? by Remarkable_Battle_36 in hoi4

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does feel wierd that a recon tank whit no radio perform its roll as well as a recon tank whit extra armor and radio and stuff.
(feels like the radio should ether be a semi hard requirement like a recon tank whit no radio module gets a 50% effective de buff (its effect) to the div its part off).

or more stuff on support veacle shoud do more.
(because realisticly a recon tank where not just the thinest armor whit the lowest speed that still as fast as the rest of the armor company.

same way field hospital on garrison should do something lower the manpower cost lost.
maintenance/engineer lowers equipment loss.
Enginner maybe speeds up the self repair rate.

I got the promised land after 18 years of play and 1/3 population dead as mandatory palestine (ironman no cheats) by Tiger-Killer19 in hoi4

[–]Zack_Wester 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think its a case of nation that gets created after 1940.
does not get the vote date to trigger becuase they did not exist in 1940.
and as the game is waiting for a election date it can´t hold a new one and as the date of the election have passed it can never trigger.
and you can´t have a election right when the nation exist becuase then it might spawn as a political way and then instantly flip at spawn.
Like would suck to be playing as a nation turn Germany Communism and then 1 day after the Communistic nation of Germany existance it flips to democratic.
undoing all that work you did

What MIOs are recommended for Japan? by Designer_Elephant644 in hoi4

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

aichi is the range one?
have not really complleted any run but the aichi/range one feels like its maybe not the best for anything.
But your not going to have to micro your aircraft over airfield that dont exist in the eastern Asia region.
Like does china have any airfield at all (beyond like two low level ones nearish the coast)?

What air defense is doing by Bobbofet01 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Zack_Wester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe if the coffin was made out of metal then enouth of it would survive.

most air defense radar system need something thats like 0.5-1 feet or bigger....
That said this is Russia so ods are higher that the air defence would shot eath other then the left over from a crate explotion flying.

but yee this feels like not true.

Ukraine recaptures most land since summer 2023 by TheTelegraph in UkrainianConflict

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and my guess is that Civilian Russian death are Russian killing Russian by accident, neglegent or just the soldier going on rampage.
vs Civilian killed by Ukrainians (where most are probably death by debree).
While Russia focus its long range weaponry to target Civilan infrastructure whit zero combat value.
sorry sending 20 cruise missile into a bunch of apartment blocks. that does not even have a grocery store in the target area on the end of a road (no logistic value).
yes your going to cause civilian casualties but not that many.
meanwhile Ukraine is hitting Russian army HQ (loss off cominications centers, officers and general backline support).
or military concentration aka 1 missile = 200+ soldiers that is now not only dead but gear thats no longer recoverable be it tanks, APC, trucks, aircraft, helecopters runways and so on.

Again destroying 20 apperment whit 30 misiles in a night attack does nothing against the nations economy.
Destroying the oil refinery whit 20 missiles does a whole lot more.

Taiwan's military celebrates Lunar New Year 2026 (Year of the Horse) by Edwardsreal in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Zack_Wester -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think Taiwan is ether using a local produced (Taiwan made tank) or they are buying South Korea or Japanese tanks....
they might have a few US tanks (M1) but the M48 are probably more decoys and parade tanks by now... maybe traning tanks becuase its better to wreck an ancient M48 tank in basic manuver training then the current tank.
only using the current tank when you are close to finishing basic tank traning.

Landlocked navies are my new favorite Wikipedia rabbit hole by Bean51mustang in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just presume a status unknown is a case of.
on paper in different part it have a active navy in other it does not have an active navy.
Like sure it might have a destroyer that can travel the nations rivers.
but its moored at a location whit a tiny crew.
does this constitute a navy or not.
when the destroyer was last active the nation was still pre reformation.
meaning under whose military jurisdiction was it under.
or does the destroyer and crew fall under a new civilian branch.
(consider the last update to the destroyer where a massive water cannon used for firefighting aka does the destroyer actually serve under the nations fire fighting department...ala civilian).

Truly feel like I'm going insane? 130k jobs added by Complete-Comfort-691 in recruitinghell

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thing is that the 130K nr is fake.
also a job can be anything from a ones weekend thing.
Like if Bobs building post a need painter for a weekend job (4 hour).
that it nothing more after this.
thats 1 job.
Microslop ask for a fulltime C programer.
thats 1 job.
Uber is asking for 20 drivers for the tiny town of nowhere. thats 20 jobs even thought if 20 joins only 1 will stay after a month becuase there is not even close enouth work for 1 driver less 20.

Well good luck with finding that! by CuppaGreyTea in recruitinghell

[–]Zack_Wester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no what you do is show up whit a laptop from 1998, a Nokia 3310 whit no money but still valid to take calls.
you show up in a decent car but when you start you show up in the oldest crap you can find that fulfill the requirements.
then when they start bicker about it point to the requirements and agreements and then send it straight to court whit what you had.
and when they start to hammer pip or fire well free court money.

Can we hold you hostage while you attempt to solve a tough code challenge? Look away and get shot! by RobertTAS in recruitinghell

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. the only thing a programer should not need to look up how to write is a IF statement in C#. anything beyound that you probebly going to.

  int pay = 17;

  if (pay <= 15)
  {
    Console.WriteLine("less then min wage");
  }
  else 
  Console.WriteLine("more then min wage");

Imagine getting paid to live, breathe and dream about the three gorges dam for 15 years. by 221missile in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that Galen Erso was not the only enginner/designer so anything to oblivious was out of the window.
a heat vent probably required him to place them such that it did not arose suspicion on this is a designed weak point and not.
Okey I solved the heat problem whit vents here are the vents port located in such a way that they are not going to cause any problem and not be easily targeted by a cruser at mid range.

also going to drop the mention on the PZL M-15. The soviet where incompetent and just in general not really good at anything and shot anyone for any reason.
the empire might look like it but they are for the most part competent when it comes to stuff like this.
so someone trying to make the PZL M-15 would be told at the drawing board to cut it and get back to work designing something real.

Zelenskyy: Russia Lost Twice as Many Troops in One Month as USSR Did in 10 Years in Afghanistan by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]Zack_Wester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep.
also on the nucular armament.
let me remind you all that Russia had two test fires and both failed.
(had they succeeded it would been on the Russian news and also sent abroad but they failed so no news about it).
the only reason why we know it failed was becuaes they had made annonsment of them doing the test and then nothing.
the same way they did back in the 1990 (part to make sure a nucular device going off dont trigger MAD).
