PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

[Dawetid]

I would like to make a public statement.

CK2 is way better than EU4 by miles (though EU4 is still fun). I was just playing it wrong

This option is available because you are smart.

You can almost hear the clicks of everyone in the thread moving their spymasters away from your court.

I'm envious of you who can enjoy EUIV. I would love to be able to enjoy it again but first I need it to stop lagging at the end of a week, I need some DLC, and I need guides.

I hate it. The AI is enraging me. And yet I can't stop playing it. I can't tell if it's because a part of me still enjoys the game at its core or if my enjoyment depends on/is fueled by the hate.

[Bralia]

Also, I missed the Stellaris Dev Diary from this morning because I thought they weren't going to do one, it came so unusually late.

i looked that up again, now I'm enjoying it way to much. that's a good song they got there. Conglaturation, everyone. we've done the hard work. let's pack up and head back, the pope's going to call off the crusade anyway.

Finally. The first feature Dev Diary for the next CK2 expansion. It's wondrous.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

With guides you mean help from people on the thread that play it or just internet tutorials?

It's still early, but, anybody thinking of going to PdxCon 2019 in Berlin?

[Hanafuridake]

The light of the Buddha has almost completely spread to the godless Welsh. After them, the Irish.

Meanwhile the Aztec threat has grown in continental Europe, but luckily, they don't seem to have been paying any attention to Britannia at the moment. Providing me the time and means to prepare a solid defense.

For some reason, I noticed that my character isn't the same dynasty as her mother, despite me being 100% sure that I had a matrilineal marriage. My current queen seems to be a member of one of my dynasty's cadet branches, something that I thought would've triggered a game-over. But instead, she's inherited everything (including dynasty prestige).

Tempted, but it's way too far.

FIRST THE BRITISH IN INDIA WILL BE SLAUGHTERED
THEN WE WILL OVERRUN THE MUSLIMS
THEN THE HEBREW GOD WILL FALL
AND THEN THE CHRISTIAN GOD WILL BE CAST DOWN AND FORGOTTEN

I think the first paragraph if the dev diary tells you the price for the update.

[Valrifell]

Through scientific analysis I have concluded that playing from the Viking Age start with revolts set to any stronger than default will inevitably and invariably fuck over Catholicism and their moral authority.

Do you want an Irish Pirates guide?

Finally got a good open as Dithsmarchen, annexed Hosltein and took 2 danish provinces. Now i'll develop and wait for the infamy to burn off before seizing the rest of the Danish provinces, then turn my attention south. Aiming for Denmark, Westphalia, Netherlands. If there's time after that, maybe try and unite Germany as a peasant republic.

Government goals;

Peasant Republic:
A governmental form where peasant communities hold the power themselves and elect rulers from among their leaders.

Republicanism:
This Republic has made itself a guardian of Republican ideals, citizen power and everyone working together for the common good.

Short Term Limits:
Long terms make rulers reckless and the very idea that someone would rule for a long time is contrary to the very idea of a republic. Let us reform our election system to ensure better accountability from our elected officials.

Union of States:
Rather than one unified state our country has grown from a large number of states integrated into one confederacy. As our administration grows and evolves we must not infringe on the rights of the member states, doing so would trample on the very principles of our existence.

Parliamentarism:
It is time we separate the head of government from the head of state and give the legislative assemblies of the land a larger share in the day to day rule of our state.

Devolution:
No single person can rule a country as big and complex as ours. Collecting such powers in the hand of one ruler is also contrary to the Republican ideals of our ancestors. Decentralization and Devolution is how we can best remain able to dynamically meet the needs of an ever-growing state.
(A shame, the bonus is crap by comparison, but themes.).

Moral Principle:
One of the primary functions of the state is to uphold good and moral values. As our Republic in many ways relies on the good and virtuous behavior of its citizens corruption and sinful behavior must be counteracted and rooted out for the good of the entire country.

Citizenry:
A Republic relies on its citizens to function and so it is only right that each citizen in our state will have the power to vote for who will guide our country. Attaining the privilege of being a citizen will also be a spur for all those under our rule to strive for good conduct.

Universal Suffrage:
Let us open up the availability of important offices to more of those living within our borders so that we have a wider and more representative selection of civil servants.

Reinforce Republican Values:
Safeguarding the Republican values upon which this country has been built is the only way to ensure a successful evolution of our state.

I look away from Europe for 5 minutes, and all of a sudden...

[The Imperial Reach]

Finally. The first feature Dev Diary for the next CK2 expansion. It's wondrous.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I disagree. There are better features they could have added, like removing that god-awful imperial elective system for Byzantium (or at least not making mandatory).

Eh.

I'd be fine with primogeniture which devolves into mandatory imperial elective if you get a regency or have a mad king or some other kind of stuff.

[Renoa]

It's still early, but, anybody thinking of going to PdxCon 2019 in Berlin?

I will... if I get an all expenses paid trip including airfare and if it somehow doesn't interfere with school or work and if I can go through the process of getting a passport and whatnot.

So, no.
