Unless I have to subsidize it to keep it afloat, presumably, but I've never noticed it having issues.

Hmm,. don't actually seem to be getting infra from port buildings, despite them being set to cargo ports (and it's not the staffing...)

Is anybody else getting the issue where they can't save games? I thought it was it was an anti-malware or permissions issue but it's not triggering any alerts I can action. Ed: fixed - for anyone with the same issue you have to do it manually as it doesn't generate any blocks on Windows Security. MinistryofLard fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Oct 26, 2022 |

Any protips on how to attract immigrants from other nations? Is it really just standard of living that drives most of it?

Anything that gives a migration attraction seems to trigger something that makes it so a region can become a migration "target" for a specific nationality. I saw that happen a couple times with the gold rush events in North America.

Played a few hours as sweden, and the domestic economy management is interesting, but I felt pretty isolated and lonely up there. It seemed like nothing was happening around me, and I was left without a clear idea of what my options were for expanding my economy more aggressively or what I was really supposed to do on the diplomatic stage. I'll give another country a try next, maybe in Italy where the early game progression and diplomatic situation is more clear and guided. edit: actually I'll try the US since it seems like I shouldn't run out of things to do with them. edit 2: hm, turns out the united states... has a lot of states Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Oct 26, 2022 |

The migration target seems to be triggered by something related to migration attraction given how consistently it happened in gold rush regions, though I had it in michigan as well so clearly its not tied to the gold, but beyond that I dont know.

Played as Sweden and I built up my country, isolated Denmark diplomatically, then built up my army and navy and made a play to make them a puppet. Diplomatic phase came with every great power turning around and whistling as I mobilized. Denmark surrendered without a shot. Game owns 10/10.

gonna throw out a tip here that isn't immediately intuitive running your budget in the red is Not Bad, in general. you're only starting to slide into the poo poo if you're over like 50% of your credit limit; doing stuff like paying high government and military wages can even pay for itself since you're putting money into the pockets of pops that can then be taxed through regular taxation and consumption taxes. i've noticed a real tendency in streams where people try to run austerity economies and that is like, the opposite of what you want to do. because basically every country on the planet starts underdeveloped, deficit spending produces enormous and immediate returns as you mobilize your pops into profitable industries. build fast enough in profitable industries and your credit limit will grow faster than your deficit which means you can just keep spending that's not to say you shouldn't take a positive balance if you can get one, but the only tangible benefit of having gold reserves is being less fragile during war. if you anticipate a ruinous war then you probably don't want to be riding the line on your credit.

Another note: the prediction/estimation math might be seriously iffy I adopted engines for mines in Norrland when the expected outcome was going to be "very awful, bad idea" and my income skyrocketed, becoming the most productive iron mine in the world

I think the warfare system is not very well thought out in terms of execution. I'm france and I constantly have to send my armies back from europe when the fronts they're fighting from are eliminated instead of them just shifting to an adjacent front. Plus I can't tell whats going on.

I tried to become a rum magnate with Cuba but instead ran into my credit limit. The French helpfully paid the tab on it then I ran right back into the limit because I have no idea what's going on.

So I had a chance to play around with Belgium overnight. First thoughts: industrialisation is a race against time. I feel like the pressure on Belgium specifically at game start is to expand your iron and coal mines as fast as possible because (a) that feeds your pops and (b) you need cheap iron and coal for the rest of your industry. At game start you have a good chance of being the most profitable and largest scale producer of coal and iron for a while, until the big boys really get their engine humming. You can then use the wealth this generates to move up the value chain to the cool stuff like tooling etc. So you want to pump construction at game start so you can throw up more coal and iron mines because the entire world will want to come set up trade routes with you for it in those initial years.

You can then use the wealth this generates to move up the value chain to the cool stuff like tooling etc. Lmao, that gameplay approach really checks out. Karl Marx himself wrote that Belgium was the model laboratory for study of industrial capitalism in Europe, exactly because of how intensely it developed, thanks to a lot of retroactive effects potentialized by its small territory packed with proper resources, concentrated population and French/British relations (besides their capital and commercial access) being favorable. quote:There exists but one country in the civilised world where every strike is eagerly and joyously turned into a pretext for the official massacre of the Working Class. That country of single blessedness is Belgium! The model state of continental constitutionalism, the snug, well-hedged, little paradise of the landlord, the capitalist, and the priest. The earth performs not more surely its yearly revolution than the Belgian Government its yearly Working Men’s massacre. The massacre of this year does not differ from last year’s massacre [Charleroi, Belgium in March 1868], but by the ghastlier number of its victims, the more hideous ferocity of an otherwise ridiculous army, the noisier jubilation of the clerical and capitalist press, and the intensified frivolity of the pretexts put forward by the Governmental butchers.

So uh, in my US game I noticed the whigs won the election in 1836 and Abe Lincoln was president already. I put the whigs in power in government and pushed the "ban slavery" button and... it just worked? And there was no civil war? Everyone is cool with it? The southern planters even like me still! So next I pushed the "multiculturalism" button to abolish racial segregation, and that just worked too??? Is it supposed to be like this?
