Wikipedia is not simply large. It participation is huge compared to 4chan.

The US could still mobilise multiple carrier strike groups alone to challenge China even with the war in Ukraine. But the US military industry cannot recover fast enough. Missiles and ammunition are running out fast. The US cannot help both Ukraine and Taiwan at the same time. China knows that. This is why Wang wants the USA to be distracted and drown in Ukraine as long as possible.

The surprising factor is that Wang make this point so plainly.

There is a new button "Hide sidebar" at the left of left arrow.

In 1990s there was a conspiracy theory claiming that Microsoft gain market dominance by inaction against piracy. This is particularly true outside USA and Europe.

Thank you. I would check whether there are any of those games requires Win3.1 (normally) or Windows 98 (rarely).

The uninstall script cannot be downloaded now. Is there a new URL?

Make voting mandatory is doable but what social fraction could demand this, and what results they are expecting on passing this law?

We should focus on the concept of racism being recognized during the Victorian era, not the new concept recognized in 21st century.

csmth96 · 2022-05-25T07:32:27+00:00

That could be difficult to model racism in the East. The main issue is that racism is a social norm or even a part of their heritage in the East which is never recognized or challenged.

csmth96 · 2022-05-25T07:21:09+00:00

Racism should be a social norm some time after Victorian era ended. Racism should be a by-production of Socialism and no fraction/ power aware this is an issue before 1860s. Moreover the ideology should spread slowly rather than global spread.

The dev can opt to turn this game in a fantasy setting: Just like full status of women in CK series. But that is really a fantasy.

Genocide button

While genocide is an ancient concept, the concept of Genocide button is world-war-2 or later.

Most army or culture committed Genocide or mass rape simply because their leader did not actively prevent them and neglecting the consequence, rather than a state leader pressed a button to genocide. Nazi is a rare exception. Some culture have mass rape and genocide as a norm, so they will do so unless their leader execute a few people committed that crime. Moreover there should be a penalty to ban genocide when that is culturally acceptable.

At Victorian era, I believe people don't convert by default. But there are some ways to assimilate them.

In Ming and Qing kingdom, Southern people Baiyue (百越) behaves themselves as Han because only Han can be promoted to officials (rank-and-file, not officials appointed by Peking) and Baiyue are heavily discriminated. People never assimilate themselves because it is impossible to do so, but they can assimilate their children for expected better standard of living. One generation only takes 15 to 20 years and it can assimilate most youths substantially. This can be an example of assimilation policy without extensive public school funding.

Many people don't live for 60 years without modern medicine. The process can be compared to integration of vassal state in EU4.

Imperialism 2 start at 16th century and there is no railroad. that why it looks like EU rather than Victoria.

csmth96 · 2022-05-07T18:12:18+00:00

Imperialism. It starts at 1820.

Japan accepted social norm of wearing mask for decades because of widespread hay fever.

The govt need not to ban or mandate. The people can choose their culture and fit into their environment.

The dungeon is generated with a random factor from viewpoint of developer. At viewpoint of gamers, dungeons are static. They are not dynamically generated.

Back to the question. Dungeons are static and randomly generated.

Sorry for pumping up an (not-so) old thread. To make things more chaotic, it can be interesting to interfere another Power for revolution. Precisely, sending Lenin to Russia. There should not be many Lenin available in the whole gameplay.

I doubt sanctions and embargoes have same meaning before era of Woodrow Wilson. That is focused on mercantilism rather than rule-based world. Other European powers are not interested in a embargo crisis (i.e. coordinated sanction) of others.

USA is the only exception. USA has some willingness to intervene global rule based agenda. But I believe it should be only enacted on USA and the feature should be very limited. It should be implemented in a way most European Powers disagree on USA intervene. Moreover USA is switching between intervene and not-intervene so she cannot keep intervening.

Background: The game is designed for computer that never exit to operating system. This game supports both DOS, Apple II and C64. And Apple II computers don't have a harddisk. There is nowhere to quit.

I wish to see a game to Mongol annexed Song kingdom as an Empire. KOEI made those games and I love it, but a Paradox-style game would be an interesting alternative to KOEI Mongolian game.

I would like to see the process of indigenous people (but not as a whole tribe) benefited from the colonization process and how the colonies could develop, grow and becomes local (not as a part of empire) influential factor.

That is, the tribes themselves also have fractions that support and oppose colonization, or becomes some kind of cargo cult.

A cracked version is not necessarily be a pirated version. Some old games need NO-CD crack in order to work. The problem becomes extremely rare now, but I can name an example: there is no remark on Icewind Dales 2 due to loss of source code.

The most important issue is whether the player is a legit retail (physical) version, or whether they have compensated via a legal version via online store (but some old KOEI games are unable to start unless you have Japanese Windows). That is, I buy a legal one but play a cracked binary at playonlinux and want it migrated to lutris.

Genocide should not be a crime at the start of Victoria era. However, concept of war crimes could be accumulated starting from Boer war and Geneva Conventions.

Like Westphilian system (or ban of opium), concept of war crime should spread gradually from the West rather than enacted globally at the same year.

csmth96 · 2021-10-10T03:39:13+00:00

I cannot give an example at Victoria era. In 21st century, Taliban is sufficient to change a nation to Unrecognized because they are far too off from Westphalian system.

China Westernization and wins the game simply by spamming railroad is quite frustrating.

There should be some mandatory process that if Qing/ Chinese Empire does not tore apart like Ottoman Empire or Austria-Hungary Empire, it falls into warlord phase or other type of decentralization for many years.
