It's cruel of them to constantly tease with "Jewish Space Lasers" event spam, but when you play as Israel you never actually get to build them. Was this laying ground for a DLC that never manifested?

Speaking of event spam, on the latest build I'm getting a ton of "%CAN% has a Casus Belli on %RAJ%" popups. Yes, the tags are showing up and not the country names.

gently caress me, I was busy trying to figure out a way to unfuck the USA's politics while being railroaded into the nonstop political capital whack-a-mole -> "Kick the Can" Debt Ceiling cycle, when the WW3 event chain kicked off like 30 years early due to... of all things, Israel?? This is goddamn broken. Should I just restart from an earlier save?

You’re trying to do a never-nomad US run and you’re getting the Gaza Strip reduction event before the Avocado Wars?! Check your supported non-government org charts and see how your Evangelical and Mormon lobbies are doing, if they’ve built up enough political influence by now you’re pretty hosed.

LonsomeSon posted:You’re trying to do a never-nomad US run and you’re getting the Gaza Strip reduction event before the Avocado Wars?! Ah I see it. It's part of the USA mechanics. All the options to reform the political system to remove the various instability-increasing counters require too much political capital, so when one of the political factions in the parliament triggers the countdown to "Debt Default", your only choice is to choose the decision "Kick the Can Down the Road", spending all that political capital on that instead of the 1000+ PP Structural Reform decisions. But there's a hidden modifier nestled in like 5 layers deep of nested tooltips that explains that taking "Kick the Can Down The Road" gives a +0.05% boost to Evangelical, Mormon, and Fascist pop Radicalization every time, which allows their IG leaders to generate more PP per tick. Nasty!

If you're in a position where you can immediately pivot to full state sanction of the Evangelicals, you can probably finish Disestablishment Clause in less than a year of any conflict, not just a formal war, involving Israel, and then within a few months transition to an Evangelical theocratic confederation using Re-Establishment Clause, then Will Not Comply, then Shall Not Be Infringed And This Time We Mean It. Puts you on a path to either a hard loss or a never-nomad game which allows you to un-core less-religious provinces in exchange for mad bonuses to your Evangelical pops. With some internal displacement (Evangelical pops won't throw much or any unrest over this) you can set up a Rocky Mountain Redoubt or Fortress Appalachia play. Take care to maintain cores or puppet status on a good chunk of the Great Plains for the former or the Rust Belt for the latter and you'll be set up to handle the Unsettlement happening all around you. If you're running with PsyWar options on, you could try a Mormon pivot but there's always the risk of a shadow state forming inside of yours and then spontaneously launching your entire terrestrial strategic arsenal with very little notice.

Early psi events off just lengthens the mtth for the events, it doesn’t stop some player slingshotting early psi. Not a lot of nations have the focus tree to be able to affect another nation that strongly by 2023… Maybe see if you can get some visibility on focuses and techs for the UK and Germany? If not them it’s likely Canada or South Africa. …wait you had that guy as your president sometime before this? Yeah I think your USA might be hosed.

you can use that seed if you want to do a gimmick machine-gestalt mind run via going down the usually-hidden Tron Paul focus tree most of the significant seeds are good for supporting otherwise-difficult gimmicks tbh

Using 8008135 as the first 7 numbers of the seed has the fun side effect of not allowing any male leader to win elections, which is technically easy mode with a few exceptions : do NOT use it for starts AS ANY COUNTRY before 2020 if you don't want to slog through a Global Thermonuclear War chain of events started by president Rodham. I found that seed useful to get the psi cheevos with Williamson.

This is goddamn broken. Should I just restart from an earlier save? The client state mechanics are broken with regards to Israel specifically. It racks up aggressive expansion penalties quickly and tanks your relationship with the other ME countries, but there are huge political power cost modifiers to breaking/downgrading the alliance level so you can't avoid getting dragged into their wars. It's something to do with the evangelical IG having an israel alliance as a core demand. It's not a problem with the other clients, I tested the alliance breaking mechanics with Ukraine and Afghanistan and you get the normal stability and diplo rep penalties that you can shrug off.

Boat Stuck posted:My modern armor keeps losing to irregular infantry. I thought they fixed the "Spearman vs Tank" bug already? There's pretty severe penalties for unbalanced forces so if you don't include some infantry in your doomstack (or if it all routs early) basically any army will beat you. You can up your armored cav ratio with some ideas but it's never a good idea to go 100% except occasionally for raiding parties

Hey, is there a mod to show precise infamy numbers rather than rounding? I'm playing USA, and I keep having to reload because I'll be at 89 (which is actually... 89.4 apparently?) and then take two call to arms from my puppet Israel and do the absolute minimum of bombing raids for each (displays as 5, is apparently actually 5.3 or 5.4?) and suddenly I'm at 100 and like half of Asia gets a Cut Down to Size CB on me while meanwhile the UN auto-rules for the other side in every play I'm involved in.

I just keep getting weird situations where I can veto it resolving to do things I don't want, but I can't veto it resolving not to do things I do want. Not the biggest issue compared to randomly losing naval superiority around Suez from OPMs shooting their shot, I thought I'd be fine with that because it would just mean my other subjects would have to buy from me and reduce their autonomy but I wasn't paying attention to the privatization mechanic and apparently now I have zero dockyards to make new convoys to support that. e: wait I do have dockyards left, just the only ones it rolled I got to keep are in the Great Lakes lmfao

I mean, if you are playing historical-oriented focus with the United States, it's one hell of a tough campaign. It's rough to ride out the Trump/Biden combo, and you are very likely to have Trump again; you can try to jury rig a Republican impeachment vote of incapability, which leads to some incredible moments as the game's AI (that does the dynamic evaluation for the procedural systems of history) works to keep it together but also creates amazing hilarity as result And well, the lead dev said during the "Imperial Blues" DLC pre-release holostream that the strict historical playthrough with the USA is for players to experience the downfall of its primacy first and foremost, while the oriented mode was for skilled players to try their hand at doing a better transition of world status or even a major revolutionary transformation towards social improvement and renouncing hegemony. Legendary forums poster "yemeni luffy" swears that the best way to try it is to have Trump as president for a second time and just let him do public rallies every single opportunity, but never tried that personally

Also, holy loving poo poo I can't believe that they made 2024 easier for a better game experience. The NATO "A Mountain of Steel, Gone" clause kicks in, military spending gets an insane multiplier while having a ton of private industry maluses in efficiency, the Suez gets shut down and God help you if you are playing Anglos, AnsarAllah is literally immune to any foreign policy options that you have or can tank it with total disregard because of their popular will traits

I’m playing as China and the western alliance nations simultaneously 1) keep spending their Influence Points on provocations with me that don’t go anywhere while 2) maintaining max trade allowance with me. But the real kicker is they just 3) asked I spend my own Influence Points to help out one of their insane no hope no point middle eastern campaigns and they sent the request as if we’re actually allies it makes me think the western alliance isn’t so much random as that they are just insanely bugged out. either way though, no idea how they’re letting the most powerful alliance in the era behave completely irrationally.
