it is eternally funny that a ron paul guy produced the core economic system of a game that makes capitalism look like dumb poo poo for assholes

Where's that V3 reddit post that was ranting about how terrible land owners were and how they wish they'd all gently caress off so the poster could make the country better?

played as the USA a couple days ago and beat the hell out of the land owners until they became totally politically marginalized by an unholy coalition of academics, capitalists, and workers. also i didn't give in to the klan during reconstruction so southern culture became legally discriminated against after the civil war while afro-american became a primary culture lol

It's probably me but just about every time I do a playthrough of Victoria 3 automobiles never take off at all. It's trains all day.

I guess I could try to force it through with motorized reconnaissance but I often research aeroplanes roughly around the same time too.

the AI is really bad at adopting new goods. it just happens to create a utopian world with no cars in this instance

The world has unbalanced arable land and migration though, isn't the point that Victoria is supposed to simulate how that shaped history?

yeah but the current numbers are really silly. japan having more arable land in one state than entire european countries, stuff like that. and the current migration balance favors the player heavily if they're any good at the game, high standard of living and outlawing government discrimination against minorities basically causes the entire world to start migrating into your nation. i'm not sure these systems would have been my #1 priority for the second big patch, but they were definitely weirdly balanced

I’m in a retro binge now and have RoTK II on the SNES lodes up. it’s really obtuse, though, and I keep putting it away, because it seems you need to read through the manual like in the olden days to be able to make it through turn 1.

koei games are always like that because they rely so much on complicated icons to convey things. usually once you get a handle on the interface it's not so bad.

You can starve a city down to Pop 1, (sell all the improvements), and then build a Colony Pod in order to abandon it. This doesn't count as an atrocity. It turns out if you spread out your ethnic cleansing over enough time people don't regard it as an atrocity even if the end result is the same. In Alpha Centauri.

I'll be doing more SMAC but this time with the Thinker mod in order to improve the AI and as Deidre. I'll be posting significantly fewer pictures and updates but I'll probably still do a few. Previously I was doing full size screenshots with the [img ] tag. Should I use the [timg ] tag in the future? This makes the pictures smaller but for some reason when you click them it doesn't expand to full size but instead to a medium size, you have to open the picture in a new tab in order to get the full size view and be able to actually read anything.

Please enjoy this picture of what the original 7 faction leaders looked like when they were younger. The actual pictures were taken from the diplomacy screen in the game.


no, timg sucks for let's play posting

But also the models just don't work. [...] Police patrol on a realistic level at realistic speeds, which can gently caress traffic that's supposed to be scaled down to match the time compression; however, they will happily drive directly by crimes in progress, which are only handled by a separate dispatch.

seems like a workng model to me

So I just bought (and financed) a very basic but top of the line gaming laptop. I used to be big on games, but I have really fallen off in the last decade or so. What should I try?

I like EU II, The Rise & Rule of Ancient Empires, Europa 1400, Caesar III, Civ V, and King of Dragon Pass

I hate hate hate Civ VI because of how cartoonish it is. I'm one of those.

What sort of new games should I try?

if you like caesar/pharaoh/stronghold/etc. check out against the storm
