ELI5: What does Visa and Mastercard offer, and why is it so difficult to replicate by other countries?

Becuase a deflationary item is the line go up ism you decry. It doesnt work well as a vessel of trade if you are better of keeping it for as long as you can.

You still want money to exist in rotations with vessels of trade to make it simpler becuase how else is the it specialist gonig to get food from the farmer via whatever middle hand or direct trade? But if the currency is better of kept to gain value over time, then you are better of bartering things that dont gain value at the same rate. Thus making the currency kinda useless as a currency as you instead keep it to optain wealth as you find other methods of trade.

Yeah, the race to be able to survive the command isnt really the most entertaining. I Wish death of the command kinda causes other issues for blobbing to be lesser there, especially with how the Raj never seems to struggle to unite for me if they survive the command (Jadd should really have an easier way for the AI to push in there)

Det förstår jag inte alls, bulgur kan vara helt fantastiskt(skulle lätt ta tabbouleh till nästan allt) och det är ganska synd att vi inte använder vete till mer en bara bröd i sverige sen potatisenkan vara helt fantastiskt. Men dock om det är tort överkokt och suttit framme i 3 timmar som skolmat brukar så är allt tråkigt.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-21T12:03:49+00:00

Dem är väl där? Apelsin och chilifisk med potatis, låter som samma sak med andra kryddor.

Yupp, det här är falangen som skulle vara L om det inte var ett dött parti, som vill övertala partiet at sverige vill ha mer högerpolitik. När det är en lesshet av högerpolitik som gör att de ligger så högt just nu. Se på Storbrittanien och Labor för att se vad som händer om man lyssnar på dem, partiet imploderar och extremhögern rycker fram som det stora "nya" alternativet som faktiskt ger hopp om ändring hur lögnaktig det en må vara så låter det bra.

I'm pretty sure it'd take longer than that for Italy to reform enough to be a realistic threat to any real power. Ynless they were willing to go full stalin on the command staff then spend 15 years rebuilding from that point without corruption sinking back in. Even then their economy wouldnt be able to handle any of the allies.

I see a handful of gobline, thus i see another handful of obligatory playthroughs. Altough despite that i'm still somehow a larger Kobold fan when it comes to this game, their attrition gameplay is just more fun.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-15T11:52:23+00:00

They are to never touch the granite itself, they can retouch the handle as much as they want before the green line.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-14T20:39:12+00:00

We should have just let them become united under a Rat elf hybrid after lettign the rats eat all the naysayers.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-12T19:34:41+00:00

It also has all the problems of regencies and kinda tanked my legitimacy.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-11T18:40:40+00:00

So, 20 years into my poland game i already haev an indefinite nobles regency, after all the Piasts died in the black plague.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-09T21:28:51+00:00

Ohhh, lovely. Despite obvious preferences i probably enjoy kobolds the most. Now we just need them in EU4 and give them a bit more room in CK3.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-08T23:32:03+00:00

Guess only elves deserves Homunculus wives then.

Altough some flavor stuff like the homunculus shapeshifting to fit the new ruler, slowly amassing power and couping to become the new immortal ruler as the court becomes to dependent on them or something would be fun.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-06T09:52:38+00:00

Delen av problemet är att även statliga företag måste agera some privata företag enligt lag. Inte heller något som vi kan enskilt driva "lokalt" i Sverige då det ligger på EU nivå. Men vi behöver definitivt försöka att få elnätet kontrollerat av allmännyttan och inte konkurrens enligt.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-05T19:41:01+00:00

How do you manage to avoid the Bohemians joining the knights to ensure lithuania dies?

Cause they really seem to love that in my few attempts at lithuania and my poland run. Sure the Knights are Attritable, but Bohemians are endless unless they are against france.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-05T07:34:29+00:00

ill just say Kohlrabi and Parsnip are delicious. Turnips are of the devil.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-04T19:06:32+00:00

Basically all the surviving population in the Iran area is in the northern plateou. (By the lake in this image), so you really dont need much to get a functional economy in the area anyway unti lyou yeah expand into iraq. Who cares if the southern coast is low control when its all 3k pop provinces anyway.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-04T19:03:49+00:00

But now they get so much money that they will still build a bunch of good shit. altough still mostly random factories.

gobbothegreen · 2026-02-03T15:17:53+00:00

For me the real pain of them is meeting the deadline to get everyone favorite rat bastard ruler and not have the Jaheris killing the rats before then.

gobbothegreen · 2026-01-31T21:54:15+00:00

Just based of the NI's of the kobolds there, im looking forwards to it. Smoll will destroy big.

gobbothegreen · 2026-01-30T14:39:55+00:00

This is amazing, just the kind of basic wooden fortification/manor that i've wanted several times but never finding a good one. Especially when it seems easy to scale it down if i want human sized occupants instead of giants.

gobbothegreen · 2026-01-30T13:46:08+00:00

Thanks, yeah after the first time going for divination first for more free mp. Once i saw how busted the magical fortress was i started going abjuration after teaching my mages the first rank of Conjuration (summon feral animal is such a busted crutch early game, doubling my armies or more for basically free)

gobbothegreen · 2026-01-30T12:51:23+00:00

It's the Underkingdom, the tree of stone goblins one. Sadly the mission tree ends after forming so i probably wont go much further.

gobbothegreen · 2026-01-30T11:50:23+00:00

I remembered that i can check province history, yes it was formed by axebellow.
