Problem is that Stellaris doesn't have any "nations" or too many repeating events; unlike CK2, EUIV, Vicky II, and HoI IV, there aren't really any nations or events that happen to almost every player (excepting a few things, but those really aren't major or iconic enough to make whole videos about). It's still a pretty good game, just doesn't have the same stuff.

Of course, that is what previous posts were all about - possessing various chattel and livestock who can't feel happiness so that people with higher mental capacity can live a utopian lives. Its really a win-win proposition for galactic happiness. :p

Hey, cool, so they'll take Absolute Monarchies away from us but then screw those of us that can't afford it out of the ACTUAL mechanics that replace them.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Absolutism will be part of the free patch. It's the Ages thing that'll be part of the Decorative Banners DLC.

That's still a pretty big issue.

Regardless, reading through the thread Johan states that liberalism and revolution is more likely to happen, so that's a cool and useful cause-and-effect relation that may spawn more Revolutionary nations more often.

I've seen the revolution happen in Europe once. To Muscovy. And I jumped on them at the first available opportunity because fucked if I was gonna let that achievement get away from me.
