I can't believe that they managed to make Lespia in the DLC more unlikable than Rumburg in the main campaign. However it sure is sweet to completely fuck them over and take ALL their gas and ALL their gold shares.

Not playing until they fix Rayne's portrait

>>1740620
One of the best parts about the DLC that it shows you really well how countries have different perspectives on eachother.

Anyway did anyone find the constitution change for Rizia kind of a let-down compared to Sordland? I've only done it once so don't know if I dodged it somehow but I expected to have to compromise with the leader of the assembly and the nobility to not lead into civil war but all that happened was I told Sazon what I wanted. Then nothing until a turn later when I signed it everyone said "yay democracy" and then it was pretty much game over you're a British style constitutional monarchy now.

Rizia has been a disappointment overall. I democratized but killed Manus and the game never gave me an option to adopt a constitution. There aren't any unique paths you can take, no political goals since you are already a king. And nothing stops you from ignoring Pales and Zille, in fact if you go to reclaim them you get couped for some reason. Speaking of coup, it's never foreshadowed or justified in any way, same goes for revolution that only exists in two decisions and the people who come to power after revolution are literal who's with no portrait or screen time.

Intermerkopium or however its spelled is kind of fun. An alliance formed from hating Lespia and love of Rizian fossil fuels. I had much more fun trying to get those lunatics to form up than anything else the DLC had going on.

Any one know a good tutorial for the war mechanic?

What decrees get you called a commie? Should I just base it all on my advisors view? Can you investigate SO to get Rusty and still ally them?

>>1741450
The in game tutorial explains everything. Here's an entire video on it.

But if you're a huge guy, here's the skinny -

"Health" is org, a de-orged defending unit will move to an open tile, if it's body-blocked, it's dead.

A de-orged attacking unit will stay in place, and you can just overrun it.

Damage to health is decided by a simple Attack vs. Defense stat check. Plus terrain modifiers.

The Support stat determines a unit's contribution to the battle. If they are assisting an attack, it gets added to attack, the same goes for defense.

Total Attack - total Defense -> Org damage to the attack or the defender, whichever was bigger.

To participate in a battle the unit has to either border the attacker, or defender.

Airstrike stuns a unit, preventing them from supporting or attacking, and removes their defense.

Cities are units, too.

At the start of every round, all units that are entrenched (you double clicked a unit, probably by accident) or on the supply line regain 1 org.

This is all extremely simple.

Advanced: you can interrupt an enemy's supporting action by attacking the supporting unit. You might take damage, but another fight will succeed.

Tried doing a commie run. It never went anywhere besides some dialogue choices like telling Sal religion is the opium of the masses or that conversation with Hegel (which also doesn't go anywhere). You can't abolish the monarchy let alone turn Rizia communist and I didn't even get that "Red King" title many were talking about even when in the files my commie points where higher than my reformist points. Looks a lot like cut content to me. A shame, really.

you can start a war between superpowers as sordland via joining not NATO/not the Warsaw Pact and still warring rumburg
but since it's the cold war they just nuke your ass into MAD

>>1743188
Expanding military intimidates Wehlen in the negotiations, making him more likely to give up Zillie. But note that your stockpile and manpower pool also influences your power projection. You getting couped depends on you not banning provincial police and levies, upsetting the Azaros by making her son not the heir, if you went that route, and didn't appease Azaros much, and not establishing House of Lords, and not consneeding things in a public discussion. OR you decide to execute Rico or Lucita, if you imprisoned them. Dumbass.

lol qrd?

Anyone know what the difference is between choosing Lucita or the Golden Guard to investigate the Zille incident? Also, why doesn't the Golden Guard do anything when you are being cooped? Are they in on it or are they just coincidentally killed off in every one?

>>1743813
>cooped
*Couped

>>1743813
If you are being couped, means Golden Guard is outnumbered. They are just 12 guys or one division, if you funded Titus.

Choosing Lucita probably pleases Azaro, but the investigation always dead ends.

Titus will always find the real culprit. If you cooperate, this pleases Wehlen, but you can't blackmail Lespia to give you Rusty (which boosts RRG to +5, if you nationalize), and if you try to frame Rico, Wehlen will blab about it, and you're fucked.

If you choose to go to war, you blackmail Lespia to cut support for Pales and veto any sanctions against you.

>>1743863
>Choosing Lucita probably pleases Azaro, but the investigation always dead ends.
In my experiance Lucita discovers that an agent of Lespia does it, I used that to get info out of Alvarez about Rusty and nationalized his company.

>>1743902
I suppose if you tell to focus on Zillie, when she offers to investigate Pales. But expanding Golden Guard gives ticking authority, as well as a high defense unit. (4-2-4-2)

Having Vina marry Axel making her Queen then have PM Manus sounds like a setup for the most epic divorce battle in Merkopian history

What is the absolute maximum hurt I can give to Lespia? Buying PalStream rights and cutting them out of nationalized Morellan shares is obvious, but I imagine I have to give up on getting Rusty, since revealing everything is more painful to their reputation?

>>1743987
How is it hard? It obviously is saved already somewhere in the main campaign save, so it stands to reason that it would be easy to just copy the variable for used composites.

>>1744214
You can save edit to have your cake and eat it.
There's a variable that goes something like rusty_knownlespianagent and if you set that to true, you'll be able to reveal the evidence and arrest Rusty, removing their most important spy in Rizia AND pin the blame on them for the Friendship Day bombing.

>>1744221
Because they likely coded it to have one image, in a bubble. No overlap. Nice and neat. And the chat bubbles are not actually the character portraits you see, they are smaller images.

So they would have to recode the entire thing to allow overlapping images, downsize all the assets, and painfully load them all in a precise order, in precise locations, and hope nothing bugs out, and Anton's mustache or hair flies off somewhere.

>just make a portrait for every single Anton variation
Fuck off.
>just edit it screen capture and image editing features
Fuck. OFF.

>>1744214
Revealing Lespia just makes it easier for you to get Zillie back through AN AND pleases Wehlen, so you are less likely to have to.

From what I've seen then the things that impact Rizia are the way do deal with Gasom, whether or not you make a deal with Wehlen and your energy prices at the end of the game.
For the best import save you should allow Rizia to invest into Gasom, raise the EPA threshold and make sure Gasom doesn't go bankrupt. You shouldn't trade with Wehlen so they will be more desperate to trade with Rizia and also you shouldn't end the game with balanced energy prices because that causes you to lose money as Rizia.
The global trade war is also a positive for Rizia, if you're willing to fuck up Sordland that much.

>>1745982
>raise the EPA threshold
Abolishing it gives more benefits

Ok finished my first run, was decent overall, Vina is actually a good heir I really liked her, understood why I married her off to the Duke of Pales (reannexing them) and I managed to please religious people, nobles AND reformers, got couped by Lucita cause she's mentally retarded, her investigation didn't even do anything.
Having said that, what's the fastest way to get Zille back?

>>1746153
No, it doesn't. You damage Economic Development and public opinion, you dumbass.

>>1746380
>got couped by Lucita cause she's mentally retarded, her investigation didn't even do anything.
Did you tell her to investigate Pales? Did you piss off Azaros?

>>1746520
I think he means for how much money you get as Rizia. I'd still argue against it since Rizia gives you so much shit to sell to expand your budget anyway there's no real reason to fuck over your Sordland game to get a bit more.

>>1746679
To be honest, that's kind of fucked up to be rewarded for torpedoing Sordland.

>Eco Dev. -4 from trade war

That's like expecting that adding more lanes will solve traffic. I doubt I even need to check. These aren't those kinds of devs.

Also, privatizing drops the quality of healthcare/education, so if you didn't boost funding to them - whoops.

>>1746977
I did nationalise them. They still pulled off capital flight, somehow.

>>1746979
Did you do Anti-Corruption/State Secret Police?

>>1746981
The ACP were busy at work dealing with the Old Guard.

>>1746979
You need to arrest them with the SSP to avoid that.

>>1746972
It does if you fund the people (secret police) who enforce the law.

>>1746983
Oh, right, I usually take the Koronti deal, and nationalize just Tusk. So you just made friends with the new leader of Oligarchs. Even if you are a communist dictator, which is strange.

>>1746977
>privatizing drops the quality of healthcare/education
When I funded them as far as I remember there is only a yellow quality gap for both and from the way its phrased its not that state services are worse. its that private care is superior and therefore reduces equality compared to those who rely on state services.

As for energy I didnt sell my shares so I technically maintain the largest single stake in the company and took the shit deal with l*spia to further boost economy. Also fully privatized both companies but did not do insider trading and arrested both oligarchs with acp so I imagine the state effectively seized control over all their shares and effectively has state control over all big enterprises in the country even if its not necessarily absolute. Sadly ending slide does not really account for oligarchs being arrested when factoring in economy ownership.

>>1746990
Yeah privatising is fine as long as you fund welfare and don't use it to save money. Private schools and clinics will be superior but they'll have to compete with an option that's literally free.
Privatising is perfect for Rizia although for different reasons. The administrative costs modifier seems to be related to the quality of live situation. The better it is the more you pay. Ideally you keep it low in the beginning to save money and only increase it at the end of the game. Privatising lowers quality of life so on top of giving you budget it also increases your budget per turn by stopping administrative costs from increasing. It should be one of the first decrees you pass.

>>1747017
>you want to lower quality of life on purpose
my romus would never

Virgin baizuos nationalizing both megacorps in a stupid act of youthful Malenyavist maximalism. The real smart option is backing VoS and becoming buddy-buddy with Marcel, who then backs up your socialist platform no questions asked if you leave him alone.

>>1747061
I don't care, Marcel. I played you like a fiddle.
The Sordish Supreme Radio and Television Council will do a better job than you ever did.

>>1747068
Exactly, besides Marcel is involved with some gang. Sordland is better off without him and Tusk.

>>1746990
>>1747017
I think what Suzerain needs is an epilogue set about 50 years post presidency with a description of how you're actions are viewed down the line. Because yeah as it stands now in the game if you want to min-max benefits privatisation has very few negatives (the only one I can actually think of is it pisses Gloria off) and a lot of bonuses so unless you're playing a nationalisation rout there's no real reason not to do it. But if say decades down the line Raynes is viewed more negatively as the guy that introduced 2 tier healthcare and private Golcondist schools that would at least add more context to your actions.

>>1747115

No, no you don't. I wish they would change that, as well change the decree and law system to be more like Rizia's. Budget per turn, too. You get bills handed to you to pass taxes, if you're low, or spend money, if you have them. Just get political capital stat, and send bills through the assembly, or sign them directly for more cost. Decrees are just gated, even though lore-wise you have access to them from the start.

And above all, I wish I could build everything. EVERYTHING. A manipulator path, where I set the Old Guard against the Oligarchs, and the Oligarchs against the Old Guard. And Underhall mysteriously winds up nationalized, along with Gasom. And ACP bring in the dosh, while Bergia Steel and HoS are basically nationalized for free.

>>1747730

You can pass 6 and 7 without it it without it. Granted I had to follow a guide, eat the salad, and do a shit tonne of political horsetrading to manage it

Gonna do Sordland again. Few questions so I don't fuck it up:
1) Is there any benefit to not taking Koronti's deal, so long as you either don't touch him or nationalize him fully? I think I heard your fixer can leak that shit if you pass him up on VP and it prevents you from investingating the oligarchs, but is that it? Also is it still possible to pass a super-reformist constitution without VoS boosting you?
2) Remond me, what are the main things that boost success in war outside of allies? I think its airforce for Iosif plan, and also letting Iosif keep the local police under army control? Also I think there was something about up/down scaling the army reserve and it helps Iosif plan if you downscale?
3) Is it possible to do a more socdem privatization? For once I'd like a run where all my economy advisors don't resign at the end, but it always seems like its an either-or between shock therapy or just keeping chill with state owned schools and hospitals.

I wish you could build multiple infrastructure options if you have the funds. it would probably be too much of a pain to remake the campaign a 3rd time (also cant make more money by selling it as dlc)

Is this game flexible enough to go Nationalist Communist without going fullblown Nazbol?

>>1748242
I think so? Sordland starts out as highly nationalist and you can easily maintain that. Economics is separate decision from legislature and all you need to do is maintain the old planned economic model and maybe go further left on some options. Reformists don't care too much about nationalism, just democratic reforms, meanwhile Old Guard cares more about previous Caudillo's legacy more than communism, so you can easily pick one or the other depending on your taste in legislative freedoms and you won't need to work with the mask-off chuds of the far right party. Only issue is if you want to join the notWPO, that might be a bit hard to balance.

I would happily buy a +2 turns DLC for a rebalanced campaign + war minigame DLC. Not going to lie.

They could always do a third rerelease by rolling it in together with a 2nd term DLC

>>1748344
>2nd term
Kreygasm.

>>1741374
But you can ally Lespia and Wehlen at the same time.
You just need to give them Wehlen oil for free.

Alvarez lost me with the tea pot stunt, what a fucking prick! Picked funny shoe man ever since.

>>1740718
>he never won a war against Rumburg
git gud

>>1748345
Too many variables. I am willing to bet my ass that the next DLC will be Galmland with you trying to balance the knifes edge of doing your own brand of socialism while trying to doge Valg and Contanan attempts to curb your ideological independence and Arcasia trying to bribe / coup you. Basically a Dubček experiance where you attempt to not get Prague'd.

>>1748386
Of course, but a man can dream.

DLC-wise, the devs are going BACK in time, so this will be even before Rizia. Which means there is a good chance you will start in the century of revolutions, and your entire early game will be nothing but (guerilla) war, trying to consolidate control over your Falklands-looking ass not-Nordic country. Maybe you will get to meet Ulbricht. I mean, Ulbrik.

Midgame would be trying to piece the country back together, NEP to appease the petty booj, and building stuff. With ideological conflict coming up in the late game. Market Socialism? Goulash communism? Who knows.

I would love a Fallout game in the style of Suzerain, playing as House manipulating factions behind the scenes while trying to keep New Vegas stable...

Is this a sequel or dlc?

1)taking koronti's deal means you can't use the ACP to investigate koronti/tusk, because they'll uncover your deal and it'll fuck you over. you can still fuck them over if you pick secret police and nationalize, but that also prevents you from touching the old guard.
lucian will leak that and other corrupt dealings (including getting your son into holsord for some reason, but not any other uni) if you piss him off, but honestly if you beat him at chess, are genuinely nice to him, and don't let gloria/alvin boss him around he should still stick with you so long as you remain part of the USP. though even if you lose the primary so long as he supported you he wont leak your deals regardless
2)having a good economy is always a big help. for iosif investing in your airforce is a must if you're not allying with lespia, whose air force is powerful. and yeah you want to follow all iosefs advice up to the war itself
3)my advisors didn't complain with me keeping education and health fully state owned, keeping SSC fully state owned but I privatized the other company, you might even be able to not fully privatize the other one but I haven't tried it. they however don't like you trying to nationalize the other two companies but with the ACP getting tusk and koronti arrested you're already breaking the oligarchy's back

>>1748119
>Also is it still possible to pass a super-reformist constitution without VoS boosting you?
I was able to, you offset some of Koronti's bullshit by having the ACP on the old guard so they can't meddle with the process as much. you'll have to choose between 3% threshold and blud autonomous zone/article 6+7 change unless you're willing to fully repeal the EPA though.
I went mostly privatization but tried to be codial to the oligarchs without taking their deals
I will say the run required a lot of very specific choices in how you replied to people to work. the supreme court judge in particular I had to rely outright on a guide to not fuck it up because like one wrong response choice and you're fucked. you also have to metagame when it comes to bergia and abolishing the special area if you're changing article 6+7. you actually have to pick nia semi autonomous zone in the original choice between nia and graf's plans, then you can use it as one of your concessions to gloria while also potentially abolishing the zone outright like graf wanted (which gloria also likes)

>>1748848
Yes.

>>1748848
dlc

>>1748848
DLC for the main campaign that adds new content and a main campaign sized sequel after it.

I feel like Article 6/7 is a bit of a failed addition to the game. Ultimately, I don't see why you would ever try to mess with it. You can already fix Bludish rights easier with other decisions, meanwhile this one only makes you add more constitution concessions and pain for getting SC votes. Oh no, evil governor stays what ever shall you do? Oh right you just abolish the special zone a few months later. Tying it to the constitutional amendment was a mistake. That shit is already a fucking nightmare to maneuver through. Instead it should have been some new event chain AFTER the constitutional change and before the scandal where you deal with the Bluds more in-depth.

I haven't played the game for some time since the update, but is it possible to use the article 6/7 thing to force Nia into voting for your constitution reform?

>>1749207
Yeah, that's kind of the point. The roleplay point.

>>1749218
newp

>>1749207
I assume its there for people that want to play as hardcore liberal for whatever reason. But yeah the Bluds love you if you just generally treat them like humans and don't actively try to genocide them... Don't pickup the red candle though.

>>1749226
>newp
crazy, why the devs don't let you get what you want and corrupt Nia is beyond me. Breaking Nia would be kino.

Making peaceful reunification with Pales possible was a really bad game design decision. Pales was supposed to be a lost cause, but you can get it back with absolutely no effort, the only sacrifice is forcing your daughter into a loveless marriage which you may or may not care about.
The only upsides of the war path I've discovered are the possibility the get the Romus the Great nickname and the possibility the get all three religious groups happy by advertising it as a holy war.

>>1749388
>loveless marriage
wtf are you talking about? They both fall for each other once they meet. Vina forgets all about Manus once the prince sweeps her off her feet.

>>1749230
>Don't pickup the red candle though.
Why? I always do it and don't get any issues

>>1749390
She explicitly tells you she doesn't love him. She just doesn't hate him either, and that part is also a big fucking cop-out from the devs. You're essentially pimping her out, but you don't feel bad about it, because the guy is a young chad. The duke should've been an ugly evil piece of shit like the original duke, Njolma. Narratively Axel was an awful nonsensical choice.

>>1749322
This is a political game, not a porn one, coomer.

>>1749438
By breaking, I'm talking about making Nia work with me on a constitution that is out of line with her views in order to ensure the best outcome for Bluds, not fucking her. Also:
>This is a political game, not a porn one
So the door stopper Smolak gives you can't be used on Lucita?

>>1749465
>So the door stopper Smolak gives you can't be used on Lucita?
Obviously its for Pabel

>>1749402
Really? Last time I went red after the worst thing I think I did was sealing the border for bear trap I got yelled at on the march.

>>1749516
Ah, I see. I reject OBT to get better foreign reputation and be able to impose sanctions on Rumburg. However I do think I did accept border turn-around before the new version and it was fine.

>>1749230
Honestly, I think 6/7 fucks the Bluds over more than just disolving special zone. Ultimately, its just a legal definition, but they rat out and sacrifice the BFF to get it, splintering their own people, when you can easily reconcile with the BFF.
