yeah the first couple times i just clicked the x to dismiss it but that just opened a bunch of markov chain garbage that was clearly scraped from old national socialist texts. not sure what the use of that feature is tbh. verisimilitude i suppose?

got that issue too at one point, but it kept strobing and flashing really bright and triggered some bloom effect or something that made it impossible to see anything tried everything to fix it including disabling all mods, validating files, all of that crap. had to do a full re-install in the end

for future reference, in this edge case you can use the console to trigger a severe windstorm in the state where the Great Man npc is from and it will permanently halt the strobing and bloom effects almost all the great-man stuff has some kind of similar failure mode trigger

Topping the global hegemon is great and all but I'm trying to manage widget production on my small little island and the game keeps scrolling across the map to announce a new indictment. I don't care, bro!

That's a megacampaign problem more than anything, all the normal plague events getting converted to flu events that only have "There is nothing we can do." as an option is a flag that gets set during the Vicky5 "Great War" disaster and carried over. Then again, that only activates to begin with if things were already bad enough that an Annex play in Europe after 1886 has GPs on both sides and all of them either don't have the Trade Unions IG in government or their IG leader rolled Jingoist, so yeah, reaaaaaalll fuckin' cursed seed.

I thought PDX got out of railroading, but every historic run with the USA is more or less scripted and on autopilot for all the ability the player has to change US politics. I can never accumulate enough Political Capital to reform out of all of its stupid laws combined with its insanely restrictive Constitution and endemic hypernormalization modifier on its pops. How do I farm more Political Capital??

How do I farm more Political Capital?? The AI opposition parties get a bonus to political capital that equals your political capital. You have to get the hidden malus “good things are not possible” removed, but it’s nearly impossible because you need a Gore 2000 victory to avoid the Mission Accomplished event chain, and even if Gore gets more votes there’s like 7 separate events that can fire during the election so Bush is appointed, regardless of actual votes cast. You basically just have to save scum through 1999 avoid: Closed Polls Brothers Sec of State I, II Stay All votes don’t count Hanging Chad Irreparable Harm The easiest way to avoid all this is probably to get Mavericky Maverick to fire ahistorically early.

How do I farm more Political Capital?? that was a huge hurdle for me as well. the trick is to route the pc through intermediaries. if its in your own pops its a negative but if you can channel through some other "superpower"-class state, you only lose like 5-10% instead of 50-100% wouldve liked some docs on that tho, but thats paradox for ya no love for the newbies e: btw do not switch the letters when bingbonging gamestop guides, its a bad idea

How do I farm more Political Capital?? To skip what all of has been said, the answer is you don't. To fix the US you have to irreversibly break it. The Gore Civil War in the 2000 start date remains in game and while far more complicated than it was in the heady days of a two sides only still cheevo viable UAR run, it's got lots of options for a country that can actually do something other than have endless events about how everything is good, actually, as it falls to ash. Also because the GCW comes so early, even in megacampaign saves all the stupid hidden bullshit won't have begun yet so it can't be stopped by bullshit hypernorm crap.

I just spammed lawmages. They get buffs for hypernormalization and when you promote them to "justice" you can just ignore the constitution restrictions.

If you're playing with Event Hyperhorizon activated, then this is an option, yes. But why would you put yourself through having it on? Easily the most busted DLC

Doing an evil run of the UK (is there any other lol ik ik) My population keeps getting more and more pissed but so far I just keep picking the "blame foreigners" option every time I hit a new unhappiness threshold. This seems to work indefinitely and I just... Don't have to pass any good laws ever again? Seems a bit broken But it's making things go weird, I just passed some law legalising prison barges to terrorise asylum seekers and it's actually pissing off my RW pops because theyr jealous of the prisoners E huh I just noticed theres a stat called Hitlerfication wtf is a hitlerf? I only noticed when I got the Riding The Tiger cheevo for maxing it out. Looks like my papers have been adding +30 per week for decades now. It doesn't seem to do anything tho E2 oh what the gently caress

I understand having events that are just a “tax” requiring you to keep building units sometimes but please put some effforts into them, this is just lazy. https://twitter.com/teamcharleston/status/1703523385475534968?s=46&t=xI3n71h5sSr-N1lf9bviIA

It's one of those "procedural generation" weighted madlibs deals. You wouldn't believe the amount of times my US run has pulled a "We have lost <MILITARY_UNIT>" and rolled like, nukes. e: the funniest was when there were only like 5 nukes in the world I didn't own and I went and lost one in the sea. Three nuclear superpowers and one of them's aquaman lol Splicer has issued a correction as of 17:55 on Sep 18, 2023 |

It was an early form of biological copy protection. If you didn't consume it in a recognized temple the flavor would self destruct. Precursor to the loaned slave organs it's descendant fast food religions developed.

I was inspired by an event someone posted a few pages back and decided to try a Markle-ocracy run - I know there's an achievement for it but I was most excited about using it and the huge USA-Canada bonuses to get Northwest Passage and then Arctic Empire. Long story short, the British monarchy seems to have simply... clipped out of the palace. I got a notification about an interregnum and then my system hung edit: wtf I had multiple events fire in the next click - Obama somehow had the IRISH tag?? My capital is in DUBLIN?

O'Bama pops up all the time if your OS language is set to something that needs omnicode, since the ' character is in a different place, but it's such an unstompable bug that there's even a gimmick event like Wojtek as a general in HoI, and the picture they chose is hilarious:

StratGoatCom posted:I've never seen the USA AI try to switch gears on COVID before, wonder if it was the patch that deployed yesterday. You could be looking at a leading indicator for a few things, the most alarming ones which you need quite a bit of time to set up the responses are that some AI rolled psychic tech extremely early and is doing an attempt to psi-puppet the US into a never-nomad play, or the US AI is intentionally destabilizing for an early ACW II. If you can maneuver to kick off the Water Wars yourself, and you’re close enough to the US of course, you can usually milk the various factions for economic and tech support by sending them paltry amounts of humanitarian aid and military supplies. If it’s the early civil wars play, anyway, if it’s not that’s a lot of poo poo to start pretty early in a save. e: it can be psi-puppeting into early US civil wars as well but your prep for this and opportunities to look out for are basically the same
