Why is it that, for every faction, someone will claim that they were mythical? Historiography says that that the Amazons were believed to be a myth for two and a half millennia. Historians changed their tune when the Amazons rose out of the western end of the River Congo and enslaved a significant fraction of the world’s population in their Fulfilment Centers.

Why does everyone here forget that IPvi straddles at least 194 known multiversal outcomes at last count. Paradox does their best but there's a reason that everyone's history went somewhat differently and mythical factions did exist somewhere.

Eimi posted:You're not going into playing America with the right mindset. You have to understand their religion The Free Market. Now I know some mods try to claim they were Christians but the great papal revival didn't take place for a hundred years or so. Americans would start every year by sacrificing a bull and bear to divine what type of Market it was, with their goal being to ensure that the Number was as high as possible. High priests in the DOW and the Index would report what they said the Number was to the people, giving them immense power over the population. During the Plague they had already performed the sacrifice so no more animals could be laid upon the altar, but so devoted were Americans to their strange religion that they would sacrifice their own for the holy Number. Once Paradox finally fixes theocracy mechanics they will let you play as a high priest again and you will see this very obviously. When they do this they better include an accurate avatar for the last High Priest, look how stoked this dude is to get bull's blood all over his clothes:  Pre-Collapse USA must have been a non-stop buckwild bacchanalia.

Although I did notice that like half my population starved to death and the other half was reduced to the 'debt slavery' caste. Must be a bug, since it didn't generate any unrest.

You can't measure it directly but it mostly accumulates based on how many culture points you invest into media and internet tech (multiplied by (GDP + cultural resiliency)). There are a lot of benefits to having a high media score so newbie American players often end up investing a lot into their news orgs. It gives a lot of short term advantages but it gradually increases your hypernormalization score without warning you and then around midgame it suddenly becomes impossible to respond to crises or global event chains and the game becomes unplayable.

no. historical records are just... missing. it's weird, no one really knows why and it's still a topic of debate for modern historians. some think it was deliberately erased, which sounds outright crazy and doesn't even seem to be possible, but on the other hand any other theory about why there'd be nothing but silence from one of the most prominent figure in one of the most pivotal period of that entire era is somehow even less plausible for all their faults, that one's not on paradox

While playing a Turkish Soviet Republic playthrough I accidentally tabbed over to the nonsensical Twitter feature and saw this: https://twitter.com/Kyruer/status/1233473737434988547 I then realized I've been blowing up the Syrian fascists air defense vehicles for basically no cost with my drone intervention force when I checked the war summaries. Lol what the gently caress is up with this lopsided OP poo poo. I ended up rolling over all of Syria so fast when I added in some rocket artillery that I was able to puppet it before the mandatory cease fire event could even trigger.

Platystemon posted:wtf my governors keep doing it no, deleting the stadiums will lead to a mass uprising you're obviously going for the high hypernormalization strategy - a low-hypernormal US wouldn't have gotten to the point of federal PPE hoarding in the first place after all. contrary to what other posters have claimed, it IS possible to decrease hypernormalization - if you completely destroy "normal" things like sports and restaurants it can go down surprisingly fast. you really don't want that to happen in the middle of the first plague when you've been relying on it staying high.

My understanding was that the British economy had a bug where every unemployed person in the UK was constantly making a check every day for new jobs, and would instantly convert to a journalist because the perceived max capacity was set at 99999999999, but it would over saturate the market and they'd demote, causing them to have no actual impact.

My understanding is that when they "fixed" it, rather than changing the max capacity for journalist they just changed the selection requirements so only citizens with the "private school educated" and "subservient" tags could take the job, and then one of the DLCs (Little Black Book maybe?) replaced a bunch of tags, including Subservient, with Cuckold, meaning that every single person eligible to become a journalist in the UK is an upper class rich kid who loves getting cheated on. Which is great to know if you're going for the ...But A Strange Thing Happened achievement, incidentally

The jobs market stuff is weird. If you use console commands to have the opposition party in the US win (they're hard coded to fail), one of their policies is "learn to code". If you use it, basically every pop in the country becomes a programmer. Which... isn't so bad, actually. Sets the whole country to upper-middle class and makes the main export 'apps'. Must be some Paradox in-joke.

But because "Learn to Code" shuts off all your mask, toilet paper, and ventilator production, about 10-20% of my pops died and I had to swear fealty to China to save the rest. I just reloaded an earlier save after that.

The Democrats have a relatively low upper limit on party unity as compared to the Republicans due to the 'Big Tent' and 'Opposition Party' traits both lowering the maximum, and it's not that high. That event's only coded to stop firing when it hits 100% though so you can have the party unify a million times and still be on the verge of starting the civility wars.

One of the lesser known democratic contenders was one Marianne Williamson the First. A lot of historical records on her were purged during the regional Vaxxer wars of Old Texas and the Global Collapse a few years later. Contemporary students of theology may know her better as the Crystalline Monarch, the yin facet of the Dualistic deity of the Lithoid Commune. Those who dig deeper into their religious texts will realize she was a dormant type-e humanoid until the Silicate Transcension freed them from the Annie-V reservation of Guadalupe Heights at Signal Peak.
