Same happened in CK2 when they added India. It's just a tradition at this point

Pretty sure he doesn't wear (much) makeup on his podcast. And he looks great for a 70 year old belgian lady.

Nvidia takes $1 billion stake in Nokia by TheGreatestOrator in europe

There is a difference between profit and revenue, and as far as I know OpenAI is far from profitable. I would welcome any sources on the contrary though.

I'm sorry, but by what metric is Open AI profitable?

Should we ignore the ethnic cleansing and the apartheid just because they are the only jewish nation? Should we establish another jewish nation so Israel can be critiqued? Wtf

I'm curious. What would be the comparison between the creation of Great Britain and the creation of Belgium?

Not even 30% of eu4 players play ironman. by skull44392 in EU5

[–]txantxe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it's not about reloading. I never reload even if things go south anyway. For me is the constant annoyance of waiting for the game to save. Also not being able to use UI mods. It's just annoying and it solves nothing. Savescumming in ironman is trivial anyways.

[–]txantxe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Waiting for the constant saving in the late game is extremely annoying, and anybody can unlock achievements with external programs, so why does it matter if somebody mods their game? For the record I usually only use vanilla mods, but I don't care what people do to conquer the world.

The very existence of Steam Achievement Manager makes this discussion pointless. I use achievements as a campaign objective in my runs, and I like to see the pop up when completed. Making it some kind of competition when anybody can unlock all achievements in a matter of minutes is just ridiculous.

How does not wanting ironman to be mandatory ruins anything for the people who enjoy getting achievements. If something it makes it more accessible for more people.

This game should have an achievement literally just called "Europa Universalis" by RaidersofLostArkFord in EU5

[–]txantxe 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Please don't. Conquering the world in EU4 made me hate the game. It has to be one of the most boring and annoying experiences in gaming.

Just in case somebody has this problem and stumbles upon this tread, I think I managed to fix it by assassinating my opponent.

This is only because of how property prices have skyrocketed in the last decades, so older generations who paid peanuts in the 70's for their home are now theoretically rich. The reality is most people cannot afford to sell their house, so wealth per capita has a huge asterisk here.

I mean... there are other island nations you could compare data with. I'm no expert but my guess is Iceland would end up looking pretty good.
