PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

[Lunas Legion]

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?

Pfft. If you want a challenge, you play as the South.

But what if I don't want slaving traitors to have even the slightest chance at victory?

Have what appears to be immense luck by outlawing slavery before The Slavery Debate nation flag is added.

Than you won't have a decent challenge and thus fun fighting the war. The way it's set up you are basically playing football with twice the players they have already. No point in completely removing the opposing team. It just gets boring.

You could get HFM, in which case if you pander to the Slavers enough, they won't be pissed off enough to revolt which makes the Free States revolt against the Slavering United States. It also has the benefit of giving the Confederates (or the Free States, on the off chance) a half-year grace period to get their shit together before the Civil War starts.

So far, enjoying Imperator: Rome, but one nitpick that I had with EU4 crossed over into Imperator: Rome. That bloody ‘mana’ system. Why couldn’t they have had more CK2 elements, like sending your magistrate over to fabricate a claim, and if he’s feeling traitorly, you may get a penalty on certain actions, taking longer or outright not functioning until loyalty returns.

Or even CK2's rather unobtrusive tech system?

Dunno if that’d be fitting for Imperator Rome, given how different cultures have different military strategies in that time period. Be weird to see High tech Germans because they are closer to Romes capital then anyone else, (and still lives to tell the tale).

You could probably modify tech spread by culture/terrain/civilisation value or something.

That’d be really cool actually. I could enjoy that given the time period and I’d think that’d work for it.

Seeing all you people talking about how Imperator is more like EU4 than CK2, and I'm just like "Thank fuck".

A great disappointment really

At least Imperator is more playable than EU4.

What's wrong with CK2. I can't roleplay an anime girl marrying her brother and then driving Islam and Muslims to extinction in EU4.

Unless we're allowed to personify The Persian Empire as an anime girl now.

Dear Wallenburg,
Blessings upon you and your house. I accept your gracious invitation and will join you plot forthwith.

The war isn't fun, it's a nuisance. Primarily because unless you're lucky it seems to be inevitable.

Speaking of which: how the fuck do you get your government to accept reforms? I cannot for the life of me figure out how.

Have what appears to be immense luck by outlawing slavery before The Slavery Debate nation flag is added.

That actually happened to me in base Heart of Darkness.

It's why I downloaded HPM.

Yeah, have fun watching as eight different drunkards join your plot, all of whom will add 0.3% power and spill the beans every two weeks.

Or you could invite characters manually, I suppose. You're already micromanaging everything else; what's one more thing?

Then the head honcho joins the plot and automatically you get 100+ plot power.
Oh wait.

You think the problem with plots is that they are terribly built and hard to manage. I see the problem as you trying to murder people far more popular than yourself. It's just as much about what everyone else thinks about the target as it is about what you think of them.

Having fun?

Shouldn't have kept all your duchies floating around without a kingdom to package them together. No wonder your chancellor killed ya.
