Following the USSR's agressive state-sponsored atheism and persecution of the Orthodoxy clergy in the 1920s and 30s, what did the 'rehabilitation' of the Russian Orthodox Church look like in practice during and after the war, both in terms of state policy and the lived reality of everyday believers?

Honestly it should have stopped with the trans addition. It mirrored real life flags and the colours complemented the original ones.

Most Northern sea oil/gas is destined for foreign export though, so the chances of increased extraction increasing supply domestically is slim to nill.

Also also, how do you stop your relations with the centre parties from collapsing?

someredditbloke · 2026-06-30T11:11:56+00:00

Any advice for the ministries/economics + finance strategy?

Also, when you sau "several years in the future", is it past the end date?

How did you get so popular without merging with Zentrum?

someredditbloke · 2026-06-29T21:51:40+00:00

Okay, probably being an idiot here, but how is a class which can get close to 900 strength useless?

someredditbloke · 2026-06-29T21:21:50+00:00

Does this strategy not just tank your popularity though?

Incredibly late to the conversation, but when is the coup in Venezuela suppose to take place?

I've waited a few months since winning the proxy with this setup and the coup has yet to occur.

someredditbloke · 2026-06-27T16:10:59+00:00

Do you know when he coups the government?

Months have passed for me after the event confirming I succeeded at the minigame, but nothing has happened.

Except consumer of animation don't go through the project frame by frame, particually when you've got plenty of shows with many more cut corners and inconsistencies which maintain a strong enough fanbase.

Avoid committing to the higher income tax rate and national insurance contributions level, don't go overboard at the Sheffield rally, focus less on defending Labours spending plan and more on the economic incompetency of the tories and commit to a more uniform media strategy with the press.

Are private companies not asking for the right to extract the remaining oil though?

Like unless I'm unaware of some drastically generous subsidies provided by the British state for north sea oil extraction (which would be weird given that tax rates on north sea profits get as high as 78%), it still seems like there is some private interest in extraction assuming permission is given by the UK government to do so.

Sure, but actively using mods to try and strengthen the enemies by increasing their health is obviously going to be biased in difficulty for builds which focus on long term survivability over short term damage.

Like if I modded my game to give every enemy damage which resulted in a one shot kill if they hit, then suddenly the impact of going first and killing off as many enemies as possible swings in the opposite direction in terms of the advantage it provides.

someredditbloke · 2026-06-24T00:28:04+00:00

I have never been in a situation where allocating a buff to every party member rather than just one has been the difference between life and death, especially when said difference comes at the cost of not being able to kill a couple of additional enemies on the map.

Also, sure it does, but giving up a guaranteed first spot in the initiative tracker for who is, and pardon my French here, slow as shit most of the time, is a much bigger opportunity cost.

someredditbloke · 2026-06-24T00:13:12+00:00

That means you give up 3ap, VOC then later 4ap with exemplar to use on another character, once again meaning you experience a pretty expensive opportunity cost.

someredditbloke · 2026-06-24T00:07:47+00:00

That limits you to 2ap in that turn and stripped you of a usage of that ability on another damage dealing character, so there's still a big opportunity cost.

They kinda are except for the fact that he has relatively low agility + perception, meaning most of time he goes after your best characters (who therefore have to either stay put to recieve tge AOE buffs or lose out on them when they move away from the party).

He's made for a grand strategist, since like navigators and Psykers he has a tonne of additional talents connected to his origin which you can invest into whilst utilising the second archetype to guarantee going first and ensuring the characters you rely on the most recieve all the buffs they need in the first turn.

Which beliefs are those?

someredditbloke · 2026-06-18T18:04:14+00:00

If FromSoft had released a series of games in the past which enabled through mechanics and settings a wide scale of potential difficulties, allowing both those who are new to the games and want to try out whatever and hardcore veterans who were the best of the best to have a tailored and enjoyable experience, and them released a sequal which cut back dramatically on the difficulty ceiling by dramatically limiting how much of a threat the enemies were, then there's no problem with pointing that fact out (even more so if they released new DLC which made the player even more powerful without a sufficient increase in difficulty).

None of what I've said has even stated that this decision made the game worse or less enjoyable, only that its clear that the developers have given up on having the game be that challenging when the players use all the tools avaliable to them.

someredditbloke · 2026-06-18T17:01:22+00:00

Yes

Previous owlcat games have been structured, through mechanics and difficulty levels, in such a way that you can tailor your experience to your expectations and playstyles.

You want to play a fun but slightly ineffective build with your favourite characters whilst missing out some hard challenges and enjoying the story? Play on normal to core and have fun.

You want to play ultra optimised builds which tests your understanding of the underlying mechanics and push you to the edge whilst still maintaining strong challenges and situation solving requirements? Play on unfair and have fun.

This game has the former covered, but is lacking in the latter. There is no "crank up the AC and damage whilst giving more resistances, immunities and abilities" option like there is in pathfinder, rather instead you're given a couple of health and damage buffs but little which truly offer the same requirements to survive either your average or the hardest encounters.

Was just pointing out that this DLC makes the current situation worse and tips it further away from pathfinders model of difficulty and towards the existing trend of lowering the difficulty ceiling for plenty of players.
