In real life the United States gave the Soviets 75% of the trucks they needed for their logistics, enough food to prevent uprisings, precious metals like copper, machine parts for their American made factories, high quality petroleum, thousands of tanks, untold amounts of support equipment and rubber. What if instead the USA created a fully mechanized army and just steamrolled the Nazis themselves? 5000 Superfortress bombers, every infantry division has 3 Sherman corps, Patton has a mechanized super army, and the USA is buying all of the oil in the world.

USA games are pretty chill. Would recommend. Japan is abit underwhelming since they don't defend their pacific bases or Home Islands.
 
The people who still care about the Holy Autism War seven years after it happened remind me of the White emigrés in the 70's who were still convinced that this would bring down the Bolsheviks, put the Tsar back on the throne and restore the Orthodox church. Gamergate's history now. There's nothing you can do about it, and the people who think they can are sad more than anything else.

So Paradox's CEO has steped down and it's old one is back.
"Fans will be sad to see Ljungerud leave..."

Lol wtf is this guy even on about. I didn't even know who the CEO was and I doubt anyone else really did either.. The little goon underlings and entitled old-timers like Johan that infest that company are the ones who had a negative impact on the studio.

Of that number, female employees make up 26% of the respondents (around 35 employees) and 69% said they had experienced abusive treatment, compared to 33% among the larger percentage of male staff.
lol, over 2/3rds of paradox women claim abuse

Biden submod.
Is this what you get when voters have a memory span of less than 4 years? I think it very much so is lol.

Fuck, reading through that flavor text is just peak brain damage. Although Mango Mussolini is kinda funny.

The Biden flavor text reads like pure Pravda work.

Money bets on the guy who made this mod being a tranny, furry or a tranny/furry?
 
If Stalin gets a paranoia mechanic, can Joe Biden get a dementia mechanic?

To be fair, a Biden-era HoIV mod would be fun to play if it was written by people who took making it seriously. The issue with that is that the majority of people who would want a mod like that would want a mod where they make America a wholesome 100 big chungus antifag state and guillotine the MAGA ghouls. Maybe it's because I've spent a bit of time on researching a cult-esque group that hangs around the Biden administration in order to write a thread up about them. but doing a playthrough as them actually seems fun. It's just sad that the only people who could do that write about "Mango Mussolini".

So lads, what's the whackiest campaign that you've ever had in EU4?
Mine was during a Byzantium game and I still don't know what the fuck happened, most of Catholic Europe fell to the Protestant reformation with the exception of Spain and, to my amazement, Sweden and England, Austria was an absolute powerhouse, annexing Hungary, Bohemia, Wallachia and Poland in just 150 years, Russia fell behind in technology but they still expanded into the far east, Ming collapsed 4 times but still kept holding for dear life while the mandatr of heaven was taken first by the Manchus, briefly for Chagatai and then returned to the Manchus, Japan went catholic and they started expanding across Asia, in the Americas Portuguese islamic Cuba was the first colony to get its independence while in the north the native tribe of Siux managed to conquer the Scottish colony of Canada, getting their tech while still holding on to their native religion, in Persia the Timurids were holding strong until the 1690s where they got assraped by everyone around them wich led to fucking Afganistan to become the main regional power, in India that weird Hindu formable nation formed but it didn't last long since I went there and killed them in a few quick wars, back in Europe Lithuania was still alive and holding on to most of their initial territories, Sweden conquered most of Denmark with the exception of Iceland, this caused the Danes to form the nation of Iceland and they set up two different colonies, one in Brasil and the other in Indonesia, in the British Isles the Anglos got kicked out of Ireland by Tyrone and Scotland was briefly a vassal of The Isles, France from the beggining of the game was a disaster and Provence was a bigger threat with Provence conquering Brittany, Normandy and chunks of Northern Italy, in the end of the game I managed to restore the Roman Empire and also made the wise move of giving my young roman emperor a Catholic milf Japanese wife, for uh, strategic advantages and things like that.
 
How much DLC will Paradox milk out of Victoria 3? I'd say about 6.

-Britain DLC (Gladstone vs Disreali, colonies)
-Prussia/Germany DLC (1848, Bismarck)
American Civil War DLC
-Japan DLC (Boshin War, Satsuma, Meiji Restoration)
-China (Taiping war, Rise of Republic, etc)
-Spain (Carlism/imperial restoration and some key game feature)
-Greek/Byzantine DLC
-Communism DLC ( anarchism, utopians, Marx)
-Feminism DLC (John Stuart Mill dictatorship)
-Latin American Revolutions DLC (new start date?)
-Central Europe DLC (Balkan wars, greater Serbia)

Lots of options for DLC. I can see this game having the most DLC of any game simply because it's about nation building. A lot of attention can be paid to each individual Nation.
