And it's awful, just awful. You have to declare independence right now, just to get rid of that tyrannical color scheme.

If the ending is the same as Martin's ending, then Martin is an asshole and should give readers their money back for wasting decades on plotlines that don't go anywhere.

Plus Martin's never going to finish the books anyway.

Now now, the ASoIF/GoT thread is over there. Over here on the PDX thread, we think ourselves higher and above such depravity and debauchery that goes on over there.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to have my infant nephew drawn and quartered so I can marry his wife/sister.

Okay so I was thinking about my first and second games as America in VicII and I think I know how I avoided the Civil War in the first one, yet failed to in the second.

In my first game I never gave the Pro-Slavery Crowd an inch (save for my accident); I never enacted any of those policies that supposedly are aimed to keep the Union together (casus belli against Spain for Cuba to counterbalance Free States, outlawing laws being submitted to Congress concerning slavery, etc.) and I just outright abolished slavery when public approval was high enough and the government let me enact reforms. Completely avoided the Civil War.

On the contrary, I enacted every single on of those policies the minute they were available in the second game - purely out of curiosity. Failed to prevent the Civil War.

I think the first time I did it right: just outright outlaw the practice without that other shit that just appeases the Pro-Slavery Crowd, and you avoid the Civil War entirely. It's only a theory, though. If anyone can confirm or refute it, I'd appreciate that.

Also: does it make the Civil War easier if you don't build railroads and factories in Slave States? Or harder? I feel like railroads would go both ways, while factories would be giving the South an economic edge. Oh, and can you get Slave States to turn into Free States before the Civil War to lessen the amount of States that secede?

Don't build anything in the South, don't recruit Dixie-cultured troops and they'll have to recruit an army when the civil war starts.

Or better yet don't recruit yanks at all and build everything in the south to give them the best possible chance at victory. I find that to be the only real way to get a challenge out of it. Also, is it just me or is HOI4 way too easy since last patch?

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.
