I also just want to get some vicky2 done, but don’t want to reveal my true name. Not yet, at least.

Those of you who play CK3, how's the struggle mechanic working? Would you say it's working well to make interesting games or is it just sort of gimmicky?

They and Venezuela always join the Axis for no reason other than to ruin your day. I'd gladly build them a railroad system myself if it meant that it no longer took an entire month to move a unit one province, just to have them attacked and sent back immediately because they have no fucking supplies.

They made my attempts for that Colombia ship achievement an absolute nightmare. Almost every time you would just get bogged down in those mountains for years and half the time the nazis somehow shipped entire tank divisions over to help them (i guess the allies were all on break and didnt notice the transport fleets)

Well that's upsetting, I forgot to hit the screenshot button when I became the Chakravarti of India. I wanted to sneak in a quick first taste of what I've been doing this past while. Uniting all of India was a secondary goal for this run and I finally accomplished that today.

There is something so satisfying about having a fully unified India in CK. I did it once in CK2 and pushed all the way to Rome and Mecca in Ironman and it was one of the most fun campaigns ive ever had

edit: Ohhhh i should try and do that again in CK3 at some point

I was initially kinda upset that so much of the Kingdom of Lhomon (the eastern Himalayas) was de jure drifted into the Bengal empire, it meant for extra time and effort dealing with it, but in the end, I have to admit that India probably looks better with it than without it.

You know what I like how those unit types look. They're at least interesting enough for me, especially that one with a ski in his backpack, he looked very funny for reasons I can't really articulate.

Sidenote, since it's August now, will we get a new DD for Victoria 3 this week?

Sweet, im quite excited for this

One thing to note here is that jet engines (and rocket engines, for that matter) are part of these engine slots, which means that they are available for all types of planes. This, by necessity, means that Jet Fighters and other jet-powered airplanes are no longer their own unit type - they are now simply fighters with jet engines. Jet fighters will therefore reinforce regular fighter wings, and also that you can now effectively make jet carrier planes, jet CAS, jet heavy fighters etc.with the plane designer.
