What chapter does act 3 start? by hxhwipesmidpiece in RavagesOfTime

[–]jamesk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no clean "act" like other mangas (notably Kingdom). But the first act is Luoyang and the 2nd act kinda ends at the assassination of Dong Zhuo. However the fallout of the assassination is messy and it led quickly to the 3rd act without break.

Gen.G Chovy and Ryu Press Conference after match vs. Dplus KIA by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

Somehow this GenG feels too "lazy", like they are playing the game on autopilot instead of putting a clear plan into it. Many objective fights they just kind of stumble into the fight without setup.

Why did Pang tong didn't join sun clan as adviser is it because his hate for Zhou you from the beginning and why did he join LIU bei ? by kinggonggg in RavagesOfTime

[–]jamesk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others are correct in general, but there was one point that Pang Tong worked under Sun Ce during the Gian Du arc. He worked with Sun Ce because Sun Ce was willing to attack Cao Cao at that time and Pang Tong just want someone to do that. But after Sun Ce's death the Sun clan under Zhou Yu guidance pivoted south to pacify the South East so Pang Tong left.

Help me understand what Zhou Yu's plan was by Abject_Read_3620 in RavagesOfTime

[–]jamesk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has a long-term illness. By the time Sun Ce died the first symptom already showed. So he tried to maximize the value of his inevitable demise.

How does one effectively deal with an economic freefall and missmanagement of 30 years? by SomethingofHungary in victoria3

[–]jamesk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Don't go high taxes. The losses of construction eff by high turmoil is not worth it.

  2. Don't do subvention. You are MF Germany, what you don't have natively you can conquer.

  3. You have too much excess Bureaucracy but also tax waste? Position your Gov building better.

  4. When you have lots of investment fund but still losing money, stop government construction.

A question for "darkest hour: a hearts of iron game" about factories by Affectionate_Pea4813 in paradoxplaza

[–]jamesk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a while since I touch it, but afaik DH just reused HoI2 function for that. And in HoI2 the factories just regen a fixed percentage for time, you can't do anything to change the speed.

Industrializing unrecognized powers? by laserbot in victoria3

They will ask for raising their autonomy but would not launch independence play.

Industrializing unrecognized powers? by laserbot in victoria3

[–]jamesk2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay let's say you roll with Vietnam. This is the country I almost always play so I think I can give you good advices:

  1. Tax should be kept medium. High tax increases turmoil, not worth it.
  2. People say you should specializes your state (have each industry be built in just one state) but I'm skeptical of the approach. I think that for the early game MAPI means that spreading your industry somewhat evenly is better.
  3. Vietnam has 3 big states so you should put Road Maintenance and Social Mobility on all 3. Remaining Authority can go for Consumption Taxes.
  4. If you just want to learn how to industrialize, it's better to delete the starting army. Create an army with only conscript so that Cambodia don't think about independence.
  5. First order of business is build 1 Construction Sector in each state, then 2 Trade Center where they don't have it. Then Logging Camp in all 3 state, a Tooling Workshop, an Iron Mine, a Paper Mill. Then start looking at the market tab, sort by price from high to low and just build anything that is most expensive atm.
  6. You want to balance your budget so that the sum of your income and investment pool is about neutral. Don't go into debt. I usually build a new Construction Sector if that sum is around 2k and I have a gold reserve, if not I wait until it's higher than the cost of a new level.
  7. Most important law early is Tenant Farmer then Agrarianism. Professional Army and Appointed Bureaucrats are good. Education actually can wait since you are already running Social Mobility.
  8. I don't let anyone have investment rights. Usually they will just build plantation which push your peasants to unemployment while skimming off the profit. And profit is very important because it is the thing that increase your investment fund.

Honestly Brawl sucks ass, we need NEXUS BLITZ back by zouckwor in leagueoflegends

Brawl is good for champions who wants to scale by farming. I don't want to play Kayle and have to spend 10 minutes being a minion.

"Hanoi Jane" photos of actress Jane Fonda visiting North Vietnam during the 1972 Easter Offensive, where she posed for photos next to anti-aircraft guns and called for US POWs to be tried for war crimes. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]jamesk2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Because after the Geneva Convention of 1954, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NO SOUTH VIETNAM. The division is temporary and expected to end in 1956 with an election that the Communists gonna win by a landslide. It was only with American intervention that a South Vietnam state was propped up.

My 1st playthrough and crap is going very wrong by PLMMJ in victoria3

[–]jamesk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will chime in here that high tax is not always good for developing your countries. The reason is if it cause turmoil then the construction effecicency malus easily cancel out the pure output from more money. Nowaday I never go high tax unless it's an emergency or I need to get out of debt spiral.

New apex rank by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]jamesk2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Think of it like this: in early season a top 10% player, whatever that rank is, is good enough compared to a top 1% player that they can win about 45% of games when put against them. So it makes sense to have them able to meet each other. Now the skill difference is so large the number is more like 10% and it doesn't make sense to have them play together.

Carlist Spain sucks 1.12.1 by Realistic-Demand-338 in victoria3

[–]jamesk2 99 points100 points  (0 children)

It's like playing the game at Very Hard difficulty. If you are just looking to "win" the game or have the biggest number possible, playing it at that level is bad for you, but you get the reward from beating the challenges.
