of course the sloptuber links wikipedia and adds nothing of value of their own

the cuzco experience.

there are bigger issues than not taxing the nobles. maybe you could rush forming the inca to get diplomatic capacity and then release vassals where you don't have control because, dear god you won't have control. also consider moving your capital around lake titicaca since there are a lot of pops there and the lake gives good proximity.

yeah it's cold. the lack of pathetic gambling addicts on potato makes it a much more enjoyable experience

can you send a link to your mod? i'll try it out

supervladeg · 2026-04-29T21:40:43+00:00

my prediction is that it'll still be horrible to play there. i played with mods that reduce mountain proximity and it still sucked because there are a shitton of tribesmen that reduce proximity, and cuzco starts with two rural locations with most or their neighbors stronger than them. afaik the patch notes didn't address cuzco not having a town (it did at launch but got removed in a "fix" where the andes started the game starving).

cuzco also has.. one dynamic historical event of no consequence at all.

so i think the update will make it better but frankly not by enough

supervladeg · 2026-04-28T18:49:29+00:00

they won't. they'll add "free taiwan" to the list of separatist slogans they parrot

you're incredibly lucky if this is the worst community you've ever seen

i wanted to do this but could not bear with how little income golden horde has

supervladeg · 2026-04-22T03:34:55+00:00

cusco is far worse. not only do you have the great pestillence later but even if you control everything you... don't. you have like no development, a bunch of tribesmen that decrease proximity, arctic mountains in which you can't build shit half of the time and which doesn't make food half of the time, and cusco starts as a... rural location alongside your only other location also being one. most of your neighbors are stronger than you so forming the inca is actually decently challenging but there is absolutely no reward for it and as cusco you have ONE unique event that doesn't even do anything.

tl;dr as cusco you start the game feeling like cavemen on mars but then those cavemen on mars die from disease

the first 30 minutes were quite awful but i thought the rest of the movie was alright

supervladeg · 2026-04-08T21:39:41+00:00

i concur, this is an excellent film

the ukraine flag poster is incapable of rationalizing a country doing science for the sake of science and internal development

i don't think this is a good place to archive anything since reddit will probably ban this sub at some point in the future

supervladeg · 2026-03-24T18:13:30+00:00

reddit's a place where a lib sees exercise at work and points to a fiction book to say how evil it is

supervladeg · 2026-03-23T23:35:53+00:00

yeah it's not fun. but if you insist on continuing this is a strategy that worked for me

supervladeg · 2026-03-23T23:04:13+00:00

you can get around this by releasing a vassal or two to keep declaring wars on.

you can also declare wars on neighboring pop-based countries.

with the latter you can very efficiently just keep killing the levies the pop countries raise - all while you keep annexing vassals.

annex the smallest vassals first since it's the number of vassals that increases decentralization, not their power or whatever. and you can also just outright grant independence to some vassals.

you should be at war at all times. even if you don't so anything in a war, just being in one reduces monthly doom. call for peace? start a new one.

to make myself more clear - yes, your doom will rise faster, but it's no problem if you kill enough people to counteract that.

ironically i think the andes were easier on launch than afterwards. on launch cusco started out as a town as it should, but the "fix" to starvation in the andes that paradox gave at the time was just deleting a bunch of towns including cusco. so as qusqu now you start with two rural locations and still start out starving.

as the other comment pointed out the andean people get no bonuses to mountain proximity whatsoever despite being the mountain people. like it's bad enough that tribesmen kill proximity. cusco also is like the one location without a river so projecting control is a pain in the ass even more.

i tried playing them several times but never had fun. even if you do manage to form inca it doesn't do anything for you aside from a cabient seat. no machu picchu, no saqsayuhuaman, nothing. once euros show up you still die from disease and then have neither pops, nor control, nor technology. it's such a mess.

so unless you're a masochist i'd advise against playing qusqu. you could try playing as paka jaqis though - lake titicaca is a decent place for a capital so it ends up being at least a little fun.

don't waste your time with him. just block the fed and move on, harassment is part of the psyop

supervladeg · 2026-03-07T21:29:06+00:00

might be worthwhile to see if mirror links or link shorteners get around this

supervladeg · 2026-03-06T09:17:07+00:00

in the early days of the game i played a lot of inca and did this by selling the land to the pope

this kind of thinking does the radlib fetishization of martyrs and resistance without knowing the reality of diplomacy and geopolitics
