for anyone trying out the new “pre sovereign” megacorp starts: for the entertainment corp achievement you need at least -400 for the local government to start messing with you. with PR specialists and media conglomerate that can be achieved with just two opposing social positions.

Thankfully, the recent patch adjustments to income and mercenary hiring costs made it much easier for megacorps to get started militarily. Even the smaller corps can afford Pinkertons right off the bat.

just make sure you don't get too comfortable and rely only on low-tier outside mercs. they're good enough to deal with state-level opponents and workers' militias, but once government authority gets low enough and the real PMCs start to fight openly even in the imperial core, you better have some real in-house firepower of your own or you'll absolutely get your poo poo kicked in. public opinion has no effect on those corps so pretty much the only direct use for your influence when fighting them is recruiting superfan battalions which don't use any resources or supply and are good for delaying them since they never retreat, but they don't do much damage either and don't forget about the espionage system, because some of those private intel corps will absolutely shank your CEO given half the chance. good news is, most entertainment and media corps have custom decisions specifically to counter that kind of operations in your capital, like "The King's Castle" or "Universal Panopticon"

after my earlier difficulties i restarted my 21C UK run and FINALLY figured out how to get them working. You've gotta go all in on the In Truss we Trust event and keep her as PM, its pretty difficult because the Financier pressure group really hate her and will put up some randomly generated NPC candidate from their faction to try to coup her. You basically have to wait for the civil war to fire because the media hate her but her Going In Dry trait gives her army +150% morale shock if she's leading from the rear. If you've built up a good personal retinue you can just crush the rebels in London, sweep up the rest and then you get 10 years without revolt and her +300% livestock market modifier to fund turning the place into a paradise. e: my pops are still miserable wtf Communist Thoughts has issued a correction as of 20:09 on Apr 28, 2023 |

I mean keep the thing around where a high enough hypernormalization makes it appear that you’ve made it to pre-sentient algorithms early but going as far as to make it look that way in the scripting was always going to be a disaster

Historical non-psi humans have government code reused from warrior species like valks and saurids, but also gives them psychology aspects of schemer species like dero. So the combination of Russia's low standard of living and high non-governmental military strength at start date cause extremely unrealistic rebellions constantly if you turn off historical focuses. The same thing happens in America if normalization drops or your recruitment numbers fall too much.

between hypernormalization and changing local policies (unless you somehow switched out of federalism) playing as the US means you can’t trust the UI unless you know precisely what to do from the early starts. dumping you right into the 2001 start by default with the US is really throwing new players into the deep end

At least my PRC has managed to put in laws to shut that poo poo down, but we might be getting the blow up the economy resolution. it's practically impossible not to get the bubble blowup outcome at some point in the 20s. if you manage to bring one bubble under control, your capitalist pops will immediately start shoveling their resources in another one because the only thing that determines where they invest is the expected returns. except whatever they invest in will get the "sizzling sector!" modifier which makes it a more attractive investment for those same pops. pretty obvious where that leads the best part is that that modifier is so big that it completely dwarfs the original expected return of that investment type, and it keeps increasing over time, so after a while the actual investment might have negative returns but your pops will still put their money there basically this is just another case of paradox not understanding basic math and feedback loops

a country with the "imperial hegemon" modifier can put their people wherever they want really easily, even more so if they share an ideology. this can even override normal rules for assigning government positions where you wouldn't even get a choice if you were playing that country i've seen ai us override the normal british line of succession when the ol' bird kicked it by installing one of their former secretary of state as the new king lol. dude was already like a hundred years old and some scripted event must have interfered with the normal character life expectancy 'cause he was still ruling the place 75 years later when i stopped playing, like some kind of lich king or something
