What the title says. I like the game but I suck at it. I think I have a decent understanding of Crusader Kings 3 and Stellaris but have failed to grasp the nuances of Vicky 3. Especially the economy and how to make the most out of it. Im asking cause I wanna play it with the new update that launches on Tuesday. I tried Brazil but went bankrupt. Nation recommendations are welcome as well.

Any tips and inputs are welcome :3 TALLYHO

I didnt realize the only thing they crave is death in glorious combat

Are they gonna send more assassins after Trump ? Asking for a friend. Im not a centrist but I cant deny they have a certain charm. Like those old Troll dolls. Remember Troll dolls ?

I ve been turned into a marketable plushie

Its out. A new game from Poncle the folks behind the original Vampire Survivors, which basically spawned the modern “bullet heaven” genre and gave us gems like Halls of Torment and Soulstone Survivors.

If you are curious there is a demo and the progress of the demo carries over to the full game on steam. The game itself is a deckbuilding dungeoncrawler its out on bascially any platform. Dont let the deckbuilding aspect discourage you. Give the demo a try and you should be able to tell if you like it in an hour at most.

From what I heard poncle plans to keep supporting this game for quite a while similar to OG Vampire survivors.

I only played it for 2h but I already like it quite a bit.

Shamelessly stolen from a youtube comment section.

Thought this was quite helpful to get into the right mindset for optimizing your Star Nations economy, its more about how to approach the different elements of the economy than just a tutorial.

Im making a post after a nightmare I just had. I considered letting sleeping dogs lie, but if I damn my eternal soul, so be it /jk… or am I? hehe

So, entertain the thought for a moment: magic is real. You yes, you could do magic and put hexes and spells on people after some studying.

But without any organizational backing, that seems like a bad idea. Of course, big nation-states would have their own sorcerers and witches. So youd have to get organized, or you might get taken out by some ops unit or a rogue operative while youre binding a level 7 demonic entity.

What I’m saying is: if magic were real (and let’s just entertain it for worldbuilding purposes), the USA would 100% be practicing advanced, high-level magic through various organizations that serve it. And not just any magic, but the darkest kind human sacrifices, blood magic, ritual orgies, that type of stuff.

So, as someone whos always been curious about the paranormal and has a bunch of different magical tomes around the house, it seems very dangerous to practice magic alone without the backing of an organized movement, or at least a coven of like-minded people.

I dont think trying to put a spell on a US president, for example, would work just like that. There must be counterspells and powerful wards in place.

wtf. WTF. This sucks. How did that happen ?
