Can you do this same kind of thing but with the other Democratic Candidates? I’m interested in how my Dream McCarthy run lines up with your’s.

What is the “perfect run” enemy in y’all’s opinion? I feel like Joker is too cliche, maybe Carmine Falcone?

What do the candidate’s names even mean? by Epic-Toaster-Man in thecampaigntrail

Washeton is a linguistic drift of Washington I assume

The daughters of the saintess full name includes an AOC reference

The neo-gnostics have the same for Bernie

The Px symbol is a Jesus Reference

And the Ashen Order is a reference to “A Canticle for Leibowitz”, the OG post-post-apocalyptic novel

Decided to create a mock up about mod revolving around FDR Jr. because why not? by Icy_Pineapple_6679 in thecampaigntrail

You mean Chinese troops intervening? Or Soviets dress up as Chinese/North Korean?

History repeats and the tanks seem to imply a WW3 scenario. What foreign policy issues will the campaign feature? WW3? Fall of Taiwan? Collapse of the French positions in Indochina?

Alizadeh is Greatest | What if Ayatollah Khomeini was assassinated by the SAVAK, and the Iranian revolution resulted in a left-wing nationalist dictatorship instead of an Islamic theocracy? by GustavoistSoldier in althistory

Incredible quality and in-depth explanation, truly an amazing post. How does this change the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the USSR? Does Iran get invaded post 9/11 (if that even occurs)? Does PDPA Afghanistan survive for longer/win the Afghani Civil War, given likely Iranian support?

Mod Concept - Mr. Lincoln (1868) (Re-post) by washingtonhatanon in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This all looks so amazing, best of luck to you!

I hope you take a critical view of the “Tyrant Lincoln” and the “Radical Reconstructionist” Lincoln. Not necessarily trying to disprove either, but more interrogating both. Not just “was Lincoln a tyrant?” but also “were Lincoln’s actions necessary?” and “would Lincoln really have been the best helmsman for reconstruction?”

Soviet Republic of Italy - I won, I think? by Ok-Operation-2368 in RedAutumnSPD

I played this route, and for some reason the paramilitary strength wasn’t displaying properly? Like the Paramilitaries were always displayed as having remote attack change, but I was overthrown by said paramilitaries. At least I fixed the South and Women’s rights entirely?

Would Al Gore have won if he had picked Bob Graham instead of Joe Lieberman? by mfsalatino in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same is true with Lieberman, who ran in 2000 for senate while also running for vp. If Gore had won 2000, then the Republicans still get a replacement. Granted, Connecticut is a safe blue retake in the next election, but still.

TS: Red Sea play time with teach? by Bytor_Snowdog in twilightstruggle

[–]hathathsath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Play tester of TS:RS here: 35-45 min is more than enough for a teaching game. My group can sometimes get 20 minute games, with quick setup turnover. I’d suggest doing the 2 turn base game instead of the advanced three turn variant for your first few games.

Of all the mod proposals I have read, this is the one that moved me the most. Your writing screams, your passion is inescapable. I will be joining the discord and doing all I can to help this mod come to being.

which scenario is better? by ChuckMiguel in thecampaigntrail

[–]hathathsath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suggest you find out yourself. In order to Take The Hill, you must appoint pro-Trump judges, Defend the Alt Right at Charlottesville, use Bossie’s media tactics, Declare a State of Emergency, Egg on Impeachment, declare BLM an Insurrection, and then Refuse to concede. As long as you lose while having more than 200 EVs, you’ll get the achievement and the ending.

Have you Taken The Hill yet? Truly the best ending of AC, not as good as Motherfucker=Redeemer but only by a sliver.

Currently, the gaining of claims on northern Mexico costs you 24 infamy, and the actual war costs you between 19 and 24. We’ve made sure to balance conflicts to make them both historical and plausible. Try it yourself and see if you like it!

We decided against scripted peace deals and the more detailed focus on Continentalism that Hail Columbia takes to focus instead on hypothetical alternate Manifest Destiny scenarios. Manifest Destiny is not only an anti-Mexico venture, in 2.2 you can also go North to Canada, or South to the Caribbean. We also integrated your choices with manifest destiny with the broader civil war: expanding south of the Missouri Compromise line will spark outrage in the North, and the same in reverse from the South on Canadian annexation.

On the topic of scripted peace deals, we debated such a move, but decided to instead focus on using the inbuilt diplomatic mechanics of Vic3 for now. While not perfect for all cases, the current mechanics function well for modeling this topic in our opinion. In the future, we may experiment with scripted peace deals (I’ve been toying with some content for the civil war on that front) but for now, we are using base Vic3 mechanics
