Dirk the Average posted:I think the baseline is there. It's neat how you need to break the political stranglehold of the landowners (and the groups that they sway, like the church, army, and farmers), encourage the rise in political power of the capitalists and liberals, and then break that power base that you just built if you want to pass the law to establish economic equality. Yeah iirc legitimacy only really affects law enactment, so if you're okay with the status quo for a bit it's not a big deal. People will be pissed they're in opposition but it's a relatively small penalty. I do agree that IGs should have "third rail" laws that they will never ever accept- council republic for industrialists, abolition for American landowners, etc

Red Bones posted:The really slow part afterwards is colonising (because colonisation speed is based on your existing population count), and for some reason I keep on getting other Australian colonies annexed into myself. I assume it's something to do with the federating Australia mechanic, but I don't actually get that decision in the decision tab, so I'm not sure if the AI colonies are just mindlessly federating themselves into me; or if AI UK is federating all its Australian colonies together and attaching them to me because I'm the player, or maybe because I'm the wealthiest one. It's this one - the confederation mechanics for Canada and Australia work similarly - either one of the colonies has a decision to annex a neighbouring one with a smaller GDP, or the UK can take a decision to mash two of them randomly together. Both of them are coded to not annex a player (though I definitely got annexed this way a few times in my Columbia District tutorial runs so maybe this was initially buggy?), so if you get picked by the UK decision you get to annex the other one regardless of who's richer. The weird thing is the UK decision will never tell you this has happened so you'll just pick up new territory out of the blue and if you're chugging along at speed 5 it'll take a while before you realise you have a new state's terrible choices to fix.

i mean another way to do it is just upgrade production method and then cut down on your sectors when you can support more just add another sector again, they are always so quick to build compare to everything else

So it's worth reemphasizing: if you hold alt, buildings get put at the top of the queue. That works for reordering buildings and building them in the first place, no matter what interface you're building them through.

Fister Roboto posted:Get laissez-faire and free trade as quickly as possible. This lets you trade for most of the resources you need, and also lets you deficit spend really efficiently. I have the #1 most productive Toolmaker, Chemical Plant, and Motor Industries plus a bunch of other decent buildings. But I still feel pretty anemic. I'm Rank 21 and 7th in GDP per capita (#30 overall) but my population has only gone from 1m to 1.36m in the 30 years I've played and I see that I have zero migration into either of my incorporated states - how do I get some?

Jazerus posted:trade union pops are drawn primarily from laborers and machinists. pay attention to production methods and avoid replacing those professions if you want the trade unions to be strong. for example urban centers can eventually change to covered markets, which primarily employs clerks in your urban centers instead of laborers; you wouldn't want to turn this on if promoting the unions is your primary concern True, but you also need to consider the demand the upgrades drive in other industries which can then employ laborers (and also machinists and engineers). Machinists provide support for trade unions much more efficiently than laborers due to their higher wages. For example in my current game I have 2x as many laborers as machinists+engineers but laborers provide 36% of my trade unions power and 41% comes from machinists+engineers. If I dropped my urban centers down a tier I would employ a lot more laborers but kill 1/5 of the demand of my steel industry. Demon_Corsair posted:Is there a way to see pop employment totals?

Back to my obvious questions: how do you increase standard of living? Is it just building poo poo for people to work in instead of being peasants? I'm up to 1900 in my game, I've been building at full capacity for 64 years now and my main Japan provinces are still mostly peasants. I saw somewhere a thing about pops having needs for particular goods and their standard of living goes up if you supply them, but I swear to christ I have searched every screen and menu in the game and cannot find anywhere that shows you what goods they want. I've just been guessing about the sort of things that make sense, like peasants probably want clothing and tobacco. My standard of living has gone up and down seemingly at random the entire game.

If you hover over the standard of living number on the top bar, then the number next to the strata you want to check, and then the number above the graph it will show you a breakdown of the goods that strata of pops is consuming and their price.  You can also get there from the pop screen by hovering over the different strata. No idea why they decided to hide this under multiple nested tooltips

God the game needs better feedback. The amount of radicals in my country keeps shooting up but the tooltip doesn't tell me why, specifically. My standard of living is #1 in the world, but I have random starving pops too. Why are they starving? I don't know, the game doesn't tell me. Are my radicals growing because of low standards? Unemployment? Racism? I have no idea how to find out, so I have no idea what to do to fix the situation.

Well I united Germany as Austria, so a Grossdeutschland. I have millions of radicals, half of the country is unincorporated, and the rest of Europe hates me but still worth it. Not sure I want to keep playing or if it is better to start over with a new country. Feel like I’ve learned a lot about production chains and what to prioritize that I didn’t know when starting the game and that I would like to get right from the beginning.

    #2 for literacy w 95%, 1/3rd of my entire population was loyal, and it was still growing. had 20 capitalists/aristrocrats total at the end. economy at the end of the game was completely able to just continually expand and my only limit was a lack of imports from the ai for stuff like oil and rubber, but also some other stuff like fish etc i needed for groceries. i also had to start subsidising more stuff, electricity the entire time just because it wouldnt expand out otherwise, railways i started subsidised, then ran for most of the game without them, then needed them again right at the end. basic rural production i also flicked it on for to get the by products i needed like wine and sugar. none of this was a problem though and each subsidised industry led to a direct increase in my income. only had 2 crashes, but i also only went to war twice and both times are when i crashed lol ai needs to build more, seems like an easy fix though as theres already a mod that tweaks it. game does slowdown by the end dates but that also is apparently known and due to be patched. v good, v fun mechanically. some small patches for the above, combat fronts, and maybe some tweaks to how certain big events are too rare are all i really need.

So I've gotten to the point in a Joseon game where I'm a massive enough economic force that I want to attempt to free myself from the Qing in say 5-10 years. Where/what on earth are the requirements I need to do/meet in order to do this? I cannot make heads or tails of the diplomatic screens still at this point. Do I need to first tank our relations in order to open up the play somewhere?

wukkar posted:You probably need to lower them past cordial first. From the diplomacy lense, select annex subject and hover over them to see the requirements. Clicking into their country won't have anything listed under plays which you can't currently do. This is pro advice. Annoyingly, other interaction methods (right click context or the diplo/interactions tabs) won't show options you can't do, the lens is the only way. And then the very top of the tooltip will tell you why you can't perform that given action against whoever you're mousing over. IME its generally either relations too high or they're sneakily on the other side of a strategic region border. Fuckin interests, man.
