1 Kill 1 Million Card Game

Choose a survival map, e.g., Town. When you score points, see who has the most. Sometimes you get the feeling that someone is lurking, which is exactly why there are boosts and you can use them to weaken your opponent. Nevertheless, the winner is the one with the most points and the same weapons as the other side. The game is like a roulette, a random number generator, just like in casinos. Only, you need luck and courage for a truly friendly game to happen, and it will make you happy. The winner is the one with the most points and the same weapons. Then you are the victor over survival! Have fun!

Ok, so back to it, so as I was saying, the US industry's problem is that it can't really grow much and is generally rather stagnant. The new deal system relies on big business and big labor to prop it up; however, those two things would be a massive problem here. Big business stamps out competition with the government's tacit consent (because it's easier to deal with one big company than 40 small ones), and Big labor keeps wages unnaturally high. This causes domestic products to become much more expensive, as big companies have to raise prices to improve workers' compensation. As these companies gradually become an oligopoly, lobbying increases labor costs, and then the prices of goods go up. This will cause the economy to stagnate

The only real way to solve this problem is to deregulate the shit out of your internal market, allowing the market to create competitors and lower prices. Or you could open the borders to lower labor costs and relieve pressure on the system.

In the TNO tl, since the US can't offshore its jobs to foreign countries, what it has to do is bring foreigners to prop up the domestic industry. TLDR: The US triples down on mass immigration in order to compete to preserve the oligopoly.

Now this would be a disaster domestically, But I didn't touch upon the international consequences. Because if this happens, which it probably would, the Germans are going to have the biggest "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO" in human history. The entire justification of the pakt is that the Americans are run by a Jewish cabal hellbent on turning Europe into a mixed-race hellhole, and the Americans pulling something like this would be the biggest vindication for nazi idelogy.

This is something the devs probably haven't thought out, but the more liberal and internationalist the US is, the more united the pakt becomes. So if the Americans want to actually liberate Europe, it would actually have to chud out and present itself as "the reasonable Germania."

>Can't offshore jobs

Seems silly. In most cases they will have as options Mexico, the carribean, most of South America, then there's the what ifs like south Africa (cheap labor a plenty) and also India and then there's the chunks of Africa they can get if free France and South Africa win.
Seems to me in most outcomes there will be plenty of low labor cost places available for offshoring

Dandylion devs are like saints for having the patience to deal with all the retards in the Steam forums and reviews.

Actually, Dandy silently nerfs enemies and stuff over time. The destrons in 60S have been nerfed at least 3 times from their introduction, only one of which was reflected in the patch notes. There are also several cases in the main game where events that used to be gameovers when you lost have been changed to progress the story regardless.

Why are there so many fucking events before the American civil war kicks off? You unironically spend more time paused to read the events than having the game run.
There also being 2 decision tabs that can not be open at the same time which need to be juggled is also retarded.
I just stare at events and click a decision once a while for 2 hours. Other countries were pretty enjoyable so far and I hope the actual civil war is fun to play but quite a lot of these events aren't needed or could be half the text easily.

Retard here. I'm thinking about buying the base game just for R56, is this a good move or nah? I'd prefer to not mess around with DLC because I feel like everything after Man The Guns is bloat and everything up to MTG is in the base game now. Also is R56 good for plausible scenarios, or is it full of larp like the modern base game if you max out the DLC's?

>25 seconds in to this crap and he's already issued two disclaimers about how bad slavery is
It's because youtubers are constantly living in terror of getting reported. If youtube issues strikes or shuts your channel down there's basically no recourse, it's impossible to reach a human to explain anything, and it's like your channel never existed. Takes ages and ages to build up viewership and get accepted by the opaque algorithms, then a few disingenuous reports or an unannounced moderation change and oops, it's all gone forever.

This means everyone has to be a tremendously mealy-mouthed and qualify every statement about everything, self-censor in ways that even the Communist Party of China wouldn't demand, etc. Hell if I were him I wouldn't have put the word "slavery" in the title either.

why is it that my vassals and only my vassals, never those of the enemies, can make separate peace without any explanation of why inside the game I think I'll stop playing. It's absurd to start a war, occupy the enemy vassals without being able to do anything about it, while when the enemy occupies mine he annexes them while the war is in progress. So in the end, even if I win the war, there is the risk that what I manage to get is less than what the enemy annexed during the war. It's absurd. First, because then the possibility of annexing enemy vassals must also apply to the player. Second, because there is no explanation in the game of why one's vassals and I repeat, ONLY one's vassals can make separate peace. If there is a reason it must be explained and then I must be able to decide which vassals to involve in the war but the best thing is that the vassals can NEVER ever make separate peace. There is no warning that it can happen, when a vassal is occupied at least warn me that if I do not free the territories within a certain time he will make separate peace. So it is crazy. Moreover, in the case of the Fiefdom where the "boss" is my King, who the hell signs the separate peace with the enemy? One chosen at random among the citizens?
