It seems like the game plays itself for the most part and outside of spamming liquor factories and speedrunning colonization, there's not much more you can do competitively.
Why? I don't trust paraslop (especially modern paraslop), but vicky 2 never made a whit of sense to me so I'd like to hear why vicky 3 is any good, especially given how incensed the g*mer nation was with it on release.
It is entirely my personal opinion. Vicky 2 was like an old Paradox game with an economy stapled to it, while Vicky 3 is built from the ground up with the idea of being a "society simulator" rather than EU3 but with econ attached.
given how incensed the g*mer nation was with it on release
I think it was/is mostly people's inflated expectations because there was no way Paradox would release a "completed" game (aka have everything in Vicky2 plus new bullshit) which IMO is unrealistic but idk I just woke up
yeah, it's still HFM or maybe GFM if you're feeling schizoid. But CWE is also really fun for a total overhaul into the post-1946 period. try it if you haven't!
no you have to make people learn how to read and build liquor factories, and you barely ever go to war before 1900 or your factories all go bankrupt, its very cozy
It is HoI but you have to spend 60 years managing your economy first, which usually starts off by introducing the concept of “economy” and “trade” to your nation of illiterate farmers. Teach them what a “GDP” is and watch them get radicalized 5 years later over it.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to •show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
