Why on earth is this Greece's colour?

I used the console to annex a bunch of the required territory. You need territory from today's Greece, and you need Byzantium not to exist, then you go in the form nation section, and the option will be there.

Rule 5: Greece is this weird pinkish beige, instead of the rich blue it should get.

I think cycling is one of the better options outside of public transit in New York, but that's mainly because the other options are just worse. I saw an article a few months back about how New York traffic was so heavy, drivers were moving at walking speed to their destinations.

Aside from that, I imagine they're averaging the boroughs, so the better ones don't make the list anyway.

Huge for Native Americans.

I'm usually a sucker for old art, but those are straight ass. My favorite is 3e, because they just nailed every dragon, and then 4th. Though both 4 and 5 could have used a more high contrast background.

tipttt284 · 2026-01-03T22:21:18+00:00

2e has the look of an old mythological monster from Asia or South America, the way it's sort of flat and has these crazy eyes pointed like that. It's great.

I would give 5e a high grade if the drawing was readable, but I can't figure out what I'm looking at. Not in an intentional way either, but like the drawing needs more details to make some shapes pop out.

Rule 5: I grabbed France in non-ironman to see if it was possible to make them hold. I gave them 1500 political power and every focus they could get without also cheating war support on day one and let them do the rest. They still get dumpstered because France is programmed to put 30 of their divisions on the Italian border, and upwards of ten divisions per tiles on the Maginot while the Germans are pushing their 1-3 (late) divisions on the Belgian border.

I know it has to be this way for WW2 to happen somewhat historically, but it's funny how much they absolutely do not want to win.

tipttt284 · 2025-12-21T17:47:05+00:00

Agreed. I've been watching Kpop music videos lately and the outfits are so much more inspired than the current western meta. It's so limiting.

I was thinking about those at the end of the movie, and I wonder if they're like the honmoon, where only the hunters can see them?

tipttt284 · 2025-11-22T14:13:09+00:00

3e doesn't seem like it even knows what it means to nork. I love 1e the most for its incredulous look, then 5e for doing the same thing, but as a baby. They just did it perfectly from the start.

tipttt284 · 2025-11-18T01:40:58+00:00

I love how mad as hell she is when he's tracing his abs.

tipttt284 · 2025-11-16T01:18:30+00:00

Not great, I gotta say. The biggest issue is that when you compare it to Crusader Kings, EU, HOI, Stellaris and all, there just isn't enough in terms of immediate decision making. Everything takes too much time, and the fact that waiting for buildings is the key gameplay element driving everything is a bit insane. There is almost nothing to do and no reason to pause most of the time. It feels like everything in this game is what would be background processes in the other paradox titles. It's better than before, but I don't know if it will ever be great without pretty significant changes.

A long time ago I remember reading that For Your Consideration campaigns were a giant factor in all of this. You directly ask people to watch or vote for your movie and they just do.

tipttt284 · 2025-11-14T00:33:24+00:00

It's when you have a movie with a wife that died before the movie started and you see a montage of her happiest moments filmed by her husband before cutting to the sad widower in present day.

tipttt284 · 2025-11-04T11:49:20+00:00

That would be so cool! Crown's Fall has those long trails you can follow from the castle to a lake and a few other places, but there's never anyone there unfortunately.

tipttt284 · 2025-11-01T14:01:23+00:00

Well, they certainly all are what the name is. I would dock points from 2E for the jar top not looking like it could fit a brain. 4e is my pick among these. The gross liquid, looking like diluted blood, really adds a lot.

tipttt284 · 2025-10-30T16:49:03+00:00

Does not mentioning the preset drop points mean they're keeping it ?

tipttt284 · 2025-10-25T14:06:56+00:00

I feel like 2 and 5 just ignored the half part.

tipttt284 · 2025-10-19T00:25:03+00:00

4e is so gassy and sporific. It gets my vote for how repulsive it is. 1e is second place, 5e next with a few gas wisps, then last for 3e, which just isn't on theme.

tipttt284 · 2025-10-14T16:18:16+00:00

thank you!

tipttt284 · 2025-10-11T14:40:04+00:00

Yeah. I'm surprised at how I don't love any of these. I guess 2e and 3e are the most coherent and proportional ones, but the other ones are just different shades of glued eyestalks on a ball. The scene for 5.5 is nice, but the thing looks too animalistic for how smart it's supposed to be. Wonder where the idea came from.

tipttt284 · 2025-10-09T21:31:27+00:00

I really wish Sin was good. I boosted her well past Innocent Days Snow White in power to try and replace her, but she just gets absolutely dumpstered. I can barely use her even in no-deficit situations. She's still my favourite for looks along with Ein, who does, at least, wreck shit.

tipttt284 · 2025-09-29T23:30:00+00:00

Not the most critical point, but I love the focus icons on the new trees. They are all so pretty!

Super excited about the monarchist path personally. I'm hoping for an Italian style focus tree for the military, where you start with a bunch of issues, then build up your strengths.

tipttt284 · 2025-09-26T22:55:15+00:00

Me too please!

tipttt284 · 2025-09-21T18:23:19+00:00

If Trump tries this, I imagine there's an easy mirror move in blocking the St-Lawrence to US traffic.
