EU4 and Vicky 2 are great games for indulging in reverse settler revenge fantasies. although it's a lot harder to play catch up in Vicky 2.

 also theres a weird rear end mod for hoi 4 where the soviets win the cold war and the us collapses into a bunch of different states and you can have supreme leader Bernie Sanders take over the northeast and bring the light of socialism to the americas

Even HOI is basically concerned with the major powers of WW2, to the point of Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Mexico having the exact same focus tree. EU at least has regional idea groups. intervention/state capitalism is good earlier in the game, l-f is good late game especially if you are germany or usa cuz your capitalists builds so much stuff it doesn't matter if 50% it are glass factories in siberia. It's way too hard to manually build factories at that point

it's not hard, just time consuming. planned economy and state capitalism are always the best for developing countries, because there's no wasted production while trying to industrialize.

Seems like a cool idea but really incomplete so far, China doesn't even have a focus tree. E: Also apparently Bernie is a cryptofascist and his whole focus tree branch is a ruse? I think the person who makes this mod might be insane. Fallen Hamprince has issued a correction as of 02:11 on Nov 24, 2017 |

I like my games being games and not literal soviet gosplan planner simulation that being said if you are playing like argentina or something then yeah absolutely go for state capitalism cuz there's like 5 factories instead of 5000

also in a lot of cases intervention/planned economy causes like a million factories losing money to exist and you are subsidizing all of them and your country is in like a zillion dollar worth of debt paying for it but you are afraid of unsubsidize cuz then your hard-won industrial score drops and also the unemployed craftsmen might revolt it's basically latin american economic simulator

It's just nice to see a major 4X title doing free content updates, instead of succumbing to Paradox's DLC creep - and they just released another new EU4 expansion this month. The undiscounted EU4 collection bundle is 192 dollars.

Enforcements have to be guaranteed to maintain coexistence between pluralities, and treating it all hands-off invites unchecked power for the dominant group.

Yes but that would require more to represent than a two dimensional graph, in this case it's one end of a continuum of more/less state repression.

almost correct, except believers are bottom right instead of top left, "tradionalists" in china are basically the people who rambles on about how great things were back when china had an emperor and we just need to go back to reading confucian text in the 21st century. kinda like how evangelicals in america want things to back to the way they were sometime between 1850-1950. also gaia is more equality advocate than mao lovers imo
