PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

Guys...you...you have to know that this is wrong.

I don’t see a problem. That is one large lemon slice you put at the edge of your sphere though.

[Myrensis]

Guys...you...you have to know that this is wrong.

Man, I must be doing something wrong. I'm in the mid 2350's and my resource production is all still in the low double digits and I have one fleet just under 2k power.

Though...I'm still on roughly on par with all the other empires in military, economy, and tech, so I guess at least the AI is as bad at the game as I am.

[Ifreann]

Let me see that throng.

Clearly the thing to do here is to begin a campaign of extreme up-cannoning and then start anschlussing your neighbours.

God I would kill for an energy rich start.

By the way we need a new title.
How about: Didn't you JUST release an unnecessary DLC EUIV?

It's like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in space.

[Pasong Tirad]

I think I just fought off a dozen revolts and uprisings in the span of ten years.

pls stop. Scotland stop

And finally peace, after 12 years. The rest of Scotland will fall soon, I just need to build up my forces again.

Who's ready for a peasant rebellion?

"paradox employ Swedish chef from the Muppets to design new DLC."

By god this will sound crazy but hit the imprison or revoke title of one of the scottish vassals and hope they start a civil war. Winning that war makes it easier to reign in the region. Keep doing it until Scotland looks like a Welsh graveyard.

This works so well. This is how I pacified the Kingdom of Greece after securing it from the Byzantines. You fabricate a claim on one of their lands, or fabricate a scandal. Then, you revoke, and all Orthodox lords rise in rebellion. You beat them, imprison the lot of them for treason, and either make them convert to Islam or take away their titles to give to loyal allies.

In the case above, replace all Scottish lords with loyal Irish ones.

[The New California Republic]

As of Stellaris version 2.2.3 robotic and synth pops are still hardcoded as being prohibited from auto-migrating to different planets. The option is just completely missing from the policies tab, only the migration prohibited option is there. I wish Paradox would fix it, as it makes managing my synth empire a fucking nightmare.

I'm disappointed that this "Christmas" I:R Dev Diary doesn't have any crucifixion in it. There's this Jesus dude stirring shit up in this time period, that guy needs crucifixion more than anybody.

I don’t think I:R goes far enough to get some Jesus up in this here Rome. It apparently ends with the founding of the Empire, so roughly 27 BC. There’ll probably be a DLC that moves the end date by 300 years or something.

Shortly after I accidentally submitted that post in the Star Wars thread, hours ago, I actually decided to go and ask about crucifixion in the Dev Diary. It's actually likely going to be a thing.

This is, indeed, how I managed to reign in obnoxious Catholics and their secret cults as Emperors of Rome.
