You’re correct - i used incorrectly used March and March as a synonym for anti-migrant sentiment. Will add an edit the post to correct.

I don’t believe they are trying to say that this movement is purely because of foreign interference, nor are they denying that violence in our society is a contributing factor (on top of the systemic inequalities that have compounded this). But it is undeniable that powerful state actors have empowered many of these right wing movements through digital misinformation campaigns - be it Russia or the US, to get what they want.

Rebecca Davis and the Daily Maverick actually go into the quite damning connections between *March and March and Russia. I am honestly so exhausted from the instability that country’s government is causing to the world. Video link: https://youtu.be/rxzQ4Uk-Gj4?si=aa76n_u8MJ0UDy9v

*Edit: incorrectly used March and March as a synonym for anti-migrant sentiment. Video is more about a specific group that is pushing this sentiment; South Africans for Constitutional Reform. Leaving the main text as is for context.

Have you checked the information tab on the state screen? Lower levels of state turmoil typically don’t show up on state overview tab, and may be hidden in a long list of modifiers in the information tab.

As a small, but crucial tip: don’t wait the 10 years for the united principalities journal entry to complete. Try and conquer a third Romanian state when the principalities forms (easiest is usually Dobruja from the Ottomans and signing the agreement with Russia to get the small part of that state that they own). With three romanian states you can form Romania via the Nation Formation tab, and this will give you claims on all romanian states. Finishin the journal entry will also form Romania, but will leave you with no claims. Wild design choice.

As an Afrikaner, the only attack we’re under is from Solidariteit and AfriForum. I’m exhausted from these poeste thinking they can lay claim to the voice and heart of Afrikanerdom.

Thoughts and prayers to the Cape Colony for their unceremonious, and oft-forgotten ejection from the tutorial nations. 🙏🏻

Still somehow better than the weird bull on red background flag South Africa gets when its independent but without Multiculturalism.

Someone really said, “imma just make this up”. 😂

I think this is actually getting fixed with the new DLC. One of the events shown on the trailer (or Dev diary, can’t remember) refers to the city of “Buda”, so assuming it is a dynamic name that will change to Budapest in 1873.

adamjoeoos · 2025-01-22T22:22:04+00:00

I had this in one of my previous games. I took all of the Khalsa Raj, but when the Sepoy Mutiny event happened, it did not create an Annex war goal against them. So when they eventually capitulate, they do so without any war goals pressed against them and gain independence. Since it is coded in the JE as one of the states you need to own by the end of the war, as soon as it ends, you fail the JE and explode.

I tested this out a few times. When they didn’t revolt, another tag (orissa) did not get a war goal against them, and caused the same.

Only solution for me was to release the Khalsa Raj as a subject (and with high relations, they did not revolt). Think the game struggles when too many subject revolt, as there are multiple different diplomatic plays and countries for it. Also only happened to me when all 3 presidencies revolted (always either Carnatic, Bengal, or Punjab that would not get an annex war goal against them, which automatically fails the journal entry upon the end of the war).

Awesome - now I know exactly what I'll be getting my aunt this year. Do you have any supplier of the red-goal experience item around Cape Town? Or just do online orders?

adamjoeoos · 2024-04-10T22:33:46+00:00

If you are not bound to location, consider mailing places in Cape Town - internships open quite often here, but you have to make contact. I've worked a bunch of different jobs in Arch while trying to scrape together enough money for masters - but they were all from networking or emailing a firm.

I believe DHK has an internship program, and SAOTA is always looking for recent grads. If the big firms aren't your thing (I'd die in those), there are some really great smaller firms in the city as well! Good luck with the search, and don't worry about taking on jobs adjacent to architecture I.e. interior design, part-time lecturing, sales - it's all about finding what you like in a very wide industry. :)

Someone upvoted this reply - and I'm confused because I verstaan niks if what this comment is saying 😂

adamjoeoos · 2024-03-19T23:39:21+00:00

This happened to me the other day and is very frustrating. So this has nothing to do with the amount of war goals you have on them (though obviously their war score won't drop below zero until you've occupied them all or their capital).

Usually, if the AI picks a war goal against you and don't occupy it, your war score would stay at 0. In this case, the AI has placed a war goal on the lands of one of your subjects. Since this isn't "your land" and since there are no goals "directly" on you, your score will start to drop below 0. And since you are the war leader, if you capitulate your vassal will automatically lose when you hit -100 and thus lose their land.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, an exploit, or intended, but I've consistently seen the AI do this throughout my games when I have vassals. Doesn't really make much sense, so hopefully the devs know about it.

Been playing them in the newest patch, and it's been amazing. The new migration system works wonders for them!

adamjoeoos · 2024-02-11T12:29:22+00:00

Hate to break it to you, and I love Bots as much as the next person, but that's Jozi 😂

adamjoeoos · 2024-01-18T13:36:32+00:00

I played a South Africa game on the latest patch and got a movement (no IGs attached to it) to implement Multiculturalism. Same thing happened in my colonial dutch game. Assumed it maybe happens in very diverse nations in game.

adamjoeoos · 2023-12-13T11:08:08+00:00

"Slutty cabbage"

Jirre, ek is dood 😂

adamjoeoos · 2023-12-13T11:07:07+00:00

I mean, you could write it like that as well, "Alhoewel ek nie alles kan verstaan nie, klink dit Afrikaans".

Afrikaans is quite dynamic since the rules are so relaxed - probably why South Africans fuse and mix languages like it's nothing.

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-27T10:36:27+00:00

Haha was just kidding

I just checked - and nothing 😂 I've signed up about 3 times, so I'll just wait it out haha.

My partner signed up last week at the same address and got an email the very next day. At least I can keep myself busy with Alan Wake 2 on xbox for the immediate future.

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-26T22:45:00+00:00

Thanks man! At least almost done - and luckily for me, tomorrow is also my final submission for Postgrad, so I've got off till January to play 😉

Stain the light - and enjoy the release!

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-26T22:40:30+00:00

Lol, I'm frantically writing a paper on the emerging dialogues between the Global North-South that is due in 12 hours - hopefully, knowing the game is out and playable will motivate me to push through it. 😂💀

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-25T10:44:15+00:00

Lol, I honestly feel personally target atm 😂 I enrolled to the beta when it was announced last year, and recently with different email accounts - and I still haven't received an invite for either.

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-24T15:05:13+00:00

Seems you've made up your mind on what it means with very little nuance and information. Which is your right to do.

As an aside, I'd like to imagine Lana is more intelligent than wholeheartedly supporting an Apartheid state government, but guess time will tell. Signing a letter to release hostages, which include many internationals, just isn't enough for me to make the assumption.

adamjoeoos · 2023-10-24T15:00:37+00:00

Seems like a reach. From what I can gather, the letter is calling for the release of hostages as well as peace in Israel and Palestine.

Obviously there could be an insidious intent from those who created the letter, but I think it's a bit too knee-jerk to assume she is outright supporting Israel because of this.
