We're five hotfixes in. Is 1.13 finally playable?
>introduce major controversial balance change in a hotfixYep, that's Paradox alright!
>>2403019You referring to nerfing Political Concessions? I actually like that change, but calling it a hotfix change is nuts
hope you didn't like using political concessions at all bozos!-Paradox Interactive
>>2403019>>2403036>controversialTake anti-histamines, if you're allergic to difficulty, bozo.
>>2403024Nerfing political concessions is fine, but the other concessions are impossible to fulfill from the midgame onward.The ammount of shit you gotta build is just unreasonable, like hundreds of staple crop farms when all farmland is already used up.
>>2403044Compromise is a tool of the weak.
>>2403044That's still better than the SOL requests, which are literally impossible. Their existence is insulting.

>>2403136>>neoliberalism>whatTrade/Capitalism is very strong. Multicultural migration is very strong. They're neoliberal principles the game favors. It also favors authoritarianism, evidenced by Secret Police being great and Protected Speech being comically bad. The game favors an odd mix of authoritarian neoliberalism.
>>2403056Am I the only one who doesn't mind the lower tax request? I already try to keep taxes low since it hurts SOL
Does anyone else just lose interest in this game when the migrant wave spam starts happening? >2403179In my experience it is fine late game when you kinda already won most of the time
>>2402928you were right... fuck these bolivian pussies. i only got this tiny piece of land, so i didn't even notice that they folded. I still need the northern parts to make canon brazil.
>>2403043I've seen a bunch a forum posts going "You're just mad because Paradox took away your win button"This issue isn't that political concessions didn't need a nerf, it totally did, the issue was that this was a completely wrong place and time to introduce it. Also it was done in such a manner that it broke saves. One can also argue they overdid the nerf as well. A decaying penalty exactly what they did with bureaucracy would be much better.Apparently YET another hotfix is in the works and I can almost guarantee they are going to dial the nerf back a bit.Fuck at this point I might as well go back to Vic 2 or wait for Gilded Destiny. Maybe even reinstall S2:FotS to get my bakumatsu fix
>>2403155I thought Worker Co-ops and Council Republics were totally busted? Am I wrong?
>>2403208>It broke savesOh no, you have to turn off encourage manufacturing in a few states. The precious GDP
Who taught magatards the word "neoliberal"
>>2403296The Bernie-to-Trump pipeline is real.
>>2403301In this house we support the people's ethnostate
So what's the general strat for Japan with the DLC? I replace surfdom with tenant farmers ASAP and usually China gets their asses kicked by GB so I can open up the country but I'm at a loss of what to do next. Should I bother with dealing with famines or just build iron mines and tooling workshops in Tohoku so I can get construction going? Any techs I should beeline?
>>2403179It's objectively very bad before you're past a certain level of development.
>>2403155>The game favors an odd mix of authoritarian neoliberalism.Every country is Singapore.
>>2403233Only when you're completely squeezed on margin, so very late game.
In one of the Charters of Commerce hotfixes they randomly halved the construction to make power plants which was another huge balance change, but no one complained because it made things easier
I'm too retarded to understand how warfare works in this game. All I know is that they raise troops and move them to the front and then I raise troops and move therm to the front and then I watch my army get steamrolled
>>2403471Turns out that supplying your army is very important.
>>2403010I hate how this game has set the precedent of Paradox economic systems running on a historical-materialist narrative. You're practically pushed towards making a technocratic gay communist dictatorship that dominates the world economy with ease and is made out of the brownest melting pot ever.
