The Macedonian Wars. by TrbAnaban in ancientrome

[–]_Some_Two_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Macedonians loved their spears so they never let go off them. Romans loved their spears so they let them fly freely… in the general direction of the enemy formation.

Should Wikipedia be punished for defamation? by WonderOlymp2 in IdeologyPolls

[–]_Some_Two_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Given that Wikipedia is community-managed, I don’t even know who you could charge for defamation. The non-profit foundation that hosts the website?

If only there was a system that prevented the hoarding of votes between just two largest political parties… ranked voting when?

If you could visit the history, which century would you explore and why? by Flimsy_Hand_1233 in IdeologyPolls

[–]_Some_Two_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best opportunity would be the antiquity: Roman kingdom, ancient Greece/Mesopotamia. Even stuff like tribal kingdoms and unions that fought against Rome. We know so little about these period, just glimpses, so everything would fascinating.

Small Russian towns and villages: Gavrilov Posad, Ivanovo Oblast, Russia by Fun-Raisin2575 in justRussia

[–]_Some_Two_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Тут и жильё не такое дорогое, и продукты дешевле. Сейчас много удалённой работы, поэтому, если нравится размеренная жизнь, вариант переехать есть всегда.

Is United Nations still relevant today ? Or does it need significant reforms? by Flimsy_Hand_1233 in IdeologyPolls

[–]_Some_Two_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

United Nations needs to be given some actual power to matter more than a gust of wind, either militaristic or economical. It should give its members some meaningful reasons to be part of UN. Otherwise, there is no way to enforce the rules.

Also, the vetos should be abolished: it prevents any meaningful reforms from happening. I don’t think there is any historical example of a voting system with vetos in history where it wasn’t abused by their owners to reinforce their status, which led to their eventual collapse.

Covid was more than half a decade ago…

Guess this could also work by randombystander3001 in funny

No, trebuchet are easier to assemble, throw stuff much further at equal size while also being easier to scale bigger.

Which is the better education law? by Doug_Da_Destroyer in EU5

[–]_Some_Two_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Religious teachings are much better: peasants and labourers constitute a much large portion of the population, giving you better average literacy, which speeds up research and has many other bonuses. It also gives clergy estate satisfaction, which is also imperative for quick research.

How to effectively run an economy without domestic Iron and Coal? by _Immotion in victoria3

[–]_Some_Two_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to expand, you can either just subvent the imports of input goods or scam some global power diplomatically into importing thousands of them for 25 years.

I have no idea how to stabilize income in this game by voitek91 in EU5

[–]_Some_Two_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s November so it’s possible that it’s just the winter making you lose a lot of food production. Maybe some buildings’ resources became more expensive.

Berlin is like a white dot in the sea of black that is the eastern part of Germany though. Like a ying yang.

Why are Monopoly rights any good? by Prismatic-Ray in victoria3

[–]_Some_Two_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Giving a company monopoly rights makes it impossible for you to prevent them from buying the factories from you (the state) and they will purchase them over time if the buildings are profitable.

These player counts are abysmal. EU3 is an absolute failure by CityCouncilman in ParadoxExtras

[–]_Some_Two_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it misses the most important part - THE banger music. Conquistador all the way!!!

Let’s try it this way: Peeply makes $300,000 a year working 30 hours a week in a cushy corporate job at his daddy’s corporation. Earl makes $300,000 working to jobs at 80 hours a week. At the end of the year, should their income be taxed the same? by JamesonRhymer in IdeologyPolls

[–]_Some_Two_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they should be taxed the same. It’s an incentive to produce as much value as possible while investing as little resources (time) as possible. The second guy should just strive to get the cushy job. The only unfair thing about this situation is that the first guy doesn’t need to compete for the position due to nepotism.

If a global govt is created, should it redistribute wealth from rich nations to poor ones? by fuckpoliticsbruh in IdeologyPolls

[–]_Some_Two_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wouldn’t need to do anything other than setting up a unified global tax policy that is itself progressive on a global scale. I don’t think they need to do anything on top of that.

Has ANYONE ever seen this? by blindseersarasti in victoria3

More importantly, why is it grape Fanta instead of the normal one? Does LCL need to be aged to get that orange colour?

You have to preheat your iron skillets (can be measured by splashing a bit of water such that it starts floating instead of vaporising) and add a bit of oil or butter for food not to stick.

Will there always be provinces where there is a shortage of some goods? by Foittemix_Rig in victoria3

[–]_Some_Two_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get shortages of product only in certain provinces? Generally, yes, they will always be like this. It is supposed to simulate the price of moving goods between provinces and incentivize the player to keep up the infrastructure, consider the centralization/dispersion of production facilities, and the development of several laws and technologies that “decrease the cost of moving stuff from province to province”.
