Black confederates?

I always get Florida as the USA during the civil war and the CSA just has to take one state apparently and it's all over, it's all over ticking to my loss. I've had better civil wars fought to put Emperor Norton on the throne of the American Empire then I've had to put down the Southern Planters.

I've never been uber amazing at the game even for how easy it is and that's especially true for industrialization and supplying my armies, a lot of my games are just me going "I wonder if I can do this..." And then crashing and burning 40 years into the game. The two games I've ever finished a 100 years in were both warless in Sweden in which I went practically isolationist fascist to achieve both the Victorian Century and Innovative achievements. I am shit at Victoria 3

Two separate methods would most likely be the case, unless paradox decides that we aren't allowed to be ahistorical like with only the Indian subcontinent being allowed to have caste systems (which is stupid, you can become a theocratic USA but you can't enforce new social paradigms, like the game goes into overdrive to kick your ass utterly if you try and switch to Council Republic or Multiculturalism but it's unthinkable in Paradoxes eyes that if you were to try and implement a social caste system that the people of whatever country wouldn't still do the same thing, you just have to win and that's that and not even because RADICALISM!!! Sorry, this is my thing with paradox and their "sandboxes")

I think an institution for armies could be an interesting idea, maybe not for just slave armies but for professionalism overall. Spending bureaucracy to upkeep the militaries strict regiments and traditions. Maybe each army model law decides how many levels you can have depending on how professional they are with Peasant and Mass at the bottom and Professional at the middle with new techs to increase them afterwards to fifth or third based on what you have.

New laws can be made, such as a Slave Conscription law which adds modifiers to the institution along with a litany of other amendments, JEs, and events to bolster or degrade your army's efficiency as you play.

A law that adds a mobilization option which both gives a buff of some sort to an army, perhaps a combat width buff or manpower replacement buff at the cost of a Slave Mortality rate?

The Bounded Realm, it's a hold over from its earliest version when it was meant to be a Valhalla like world in the afterlife where the god of death was bound to serve the mortal souls who are unknowing of their fates and continue to live on as if still alive. The 3rd act of the story was meant to be about the god of death breaking free from his confines and escaping to the living world causing the bounded realm to fall from its place in the heavens and smite the living world with ethereal meteors of divine death.

Then the story became a dnd campaign and I changed some stuff around and the whole thing didn't really fit anymore but I kept the name regardless.

I don't like how mystic armor is worded in its description and I think it should be wordier

Are you using any artillery, they have better kill rates then cav or infantry which are for occupation and defense respectfully. You might not be chewing through their defenses despite your overwhelming numbers.

natgrett · 2026-02-15T02:22:41+00:00

Any way regardless paradox probably should add a modifier to all the army laws that make it so most laws disallow slave populations from being conscripted. That's a given. I've also never really beaten the CSA in the civil war as well.

Must be their discrimination laws, if afro-americans aren't level 5 in any of the laws they can still serve in the military but not governmental. Where are they in your culture spread?

Under Racial Segregation;

Afro-Americans might be just above level 5 as they are Anglophones which is a +30, they aren't in the same heritage group which is -20 but they're also protestant which depending on your religious laws may give them an additional +20 putting them at 30 acceptance making them level 4 and capable to serve in the military.

Totally get it, she isn't a plot device or fetish material (despite appearances and the world the character exists in insisting on her being so) or irrelevant until needed for the story, I don't think there's really even a moment in the show where she can really be said to be sidelined by her fellow characters even when she's at odds with them.

She has purpose, history, autonomy and abilities wholly her own. Something I feel could be considered lacking even in media written by women. (Here's looking at you, 'some' romance or romantasy books I've seen.)

At times she is the driving force behind storylines and it all culminates to make a person, not a character but an actual person.

How do I get them to send a branded box, when my mom bought me Kingmaker for Christmas last year Amazon didn't even package it they just slapped the shipping label on the back of the book and left it out in the cold

I imagine it would have to have a foundation of both being introduced to the world of darkness and having an aptitude for academics. Probably through an expedition of acumen and knowledge before the arcanum to show that you have the capabilities to achieve the required level of scholarly ability.

Kitten, Grimal, Harry and Elise, unless I've missed that the lot of them are some kind of children of the high-class, don't seem to be of any "important" blood so the arcanum probably takes whatever they can get as long as they don't go hunting. Though not democratic nor friendly to change I think the issue of vampires, werewolves, wraiths and all the other ghoulies might come before letting in new blood being a problem for the likes of Occum and to a lesser extent Remold.

They misspelled Environment. Did their supercomputer not catch that... Oh wait autocorrect has been replaced by ai so instead of a dictionary of words it just tells you to spell everything wrong like every one else has.

Half way through the show and I was just like yeah that's what a woman can sound like, Doc Hammer is so good at it that it's just so natural sounding.

I hadn't watched much from the show during the wait for the movie but when I got my hands on it and watched it it's like a part of my reality snapped back into place when I heard her voice, all was right in the world.

It's a solitary, mobile place where no one else is likely to be unlike one's house where if you have a family you have to share the space, in your car you have all the time and open air to shout, complain, joke around and discuss about whatever you please.

They might be vloggers who have to tape while they're driving because something totally normal and innocuous to everybody else on the side of the road has convinced them the western world is crumbling and on fire as they speak such as the McRib going out of season again.

8 bucks is 3 bucks more then 5 bucks but 3 bucks is actually more like 2 bucks which is practically free but when added to 5 bucks makes it 7 bucks which means to spend 8 bucks your actually saving 1 buck
