civ 6 is sadly not very good, i love civ games but it's hard to enjoy. the climate change stuff is kinda cool but you can get that in alpha centauri too.

there are bronze age mods for imperator and ck3. i think the crusader kings one hasn't been updated in a while though.

imperator was very polarizing because some people really, really loved it. i never played it though. maybe it sucks.

Is that any different from CK 2? I do like how in that one you can get stochastic random building caused by adventurers from your house going and invading random places, if you're say Norse pagan.

i really like getting alexanders bloodline in ck2, being able to invade empire level titles made map painting so much easier. and for some reason that is how i like to play my paradox games even crusader kings.

so far i have really been enjoying victoria 3, i like how abstracted out warfare is, having a front and hoping your generals win feels like a good choice. that said it is kind of annoying that only one battle can happen at a time, like i was at war with the north german federation as russia, i had like 400 battalions deployed across a pretty big front, why are only a few of them engaging at once? anyway i am sure after a few patches and expansions which i will stupidly buy on day 1, this game is going to kick rear end.

This game still sometimes gets weird character poo poo like CK3 does.



I present you the gentlemen general leading the most powerful political organization in the country.

The only thing it gives him though is the ability to change the country from peasant levies to a militia.

i had the head of the liberal faction have "free marketeer" or something liek that as one of his traits, so i had to wait for him to die in order to get public schools passed so as not to make the extremely large and in-govenrment liberal faction pissed off.

but after that i got a lot of approval for public education.

how does electricity work in victoria 3, do i need to make power plants in every state or can it be traded across my country's market?

raise taxes, try importing/exporting if your laws have tariffs. i stupidly way overbuilt government admin buildings so i have massive amounts of extra bureaucracy, maintaining massive trade routes is not an issue in my game. im makign a ton of money off it, so i will never change my laws away from protectionism.

yeah i cant really do tno, too much text, not enough actual gameplay. like clickign national focuses and reading event text is not the most fun part of hoi4.

the cold war iron curtain mod is pretty fun. theres meant to be a big update coming at some point with among other things a bunch more successors to stalin.

The Brits were too arrogant to even let the other white parts of their empire have an equal seat at the table, no way would they let the Indians in there. Plus imagine all the crazy poo poo that happens in India politics but now it's happening in Whitehall. The South Asian MPs would vastly outnumber the Anglo MPs, to the point of making them a vestigial organ. How do you even pretend it's the same polity with the same concerns at that point? It would reveal the absurdity at the heart of empire quicker than the actual Raj did.

there are 7 indian states with a larger population, one pakistani province, bangladesh is rather more compact but its population dwarfs the uk... this is incredible to think about how few seats in parliament the uk would get if you kept the current number of MPs at 550.

actually i just did the math, there are about 1.8 billion people in the subcontinent. add 68 mil for the uk, divide by 550, rounding it up gives you 3.4 million people per constituency. accordingly the whole UK would get 20 seats in parliament. that rocks. we should make this happen.
