It was adversarial, but sounds like you regret that first post and agree this is all horrifying, so no worries! It seems pretty clear Paradox needs to clean house, starting from the top.

I don’t understand how that would not immediately get the one who said that fired. Yeah, reading that made me feel deep, deep horror, and I cannot fathom how, presumably, anyone else in the meeting didn't loving walk out in disgust immediately.

I'm sorry, but the design is based on Podcat and I's HoI3-expansion-era ideas about a WWI game where you only control the amount of horses supplied to areas of each front.

i'm france, i thought it'd be a moderately challenging dip back into the game but first the brits attacked me over some pissant colonial possession and then decided to try to grab half of northern france and then, immediately after i'd fended them off, the prussians decided to invade like. it's a fun game but give me a break it's only 1855

Sounds like you aren't navy spamming and building forts. Covering the entire border in forts as your navy blockades them for score and exhaustion can cripple most countries.

i have both things and immediately blockaded them, but i only have level 2 forts and they keep getting military access agreements with people i've fallen back to just throwing conscripts in their way and hitting them when they attack them, but it's a very bloody business

Yeah that's Vicky 2. Sometimes it ss like I can go an entire game without fighting a war. Other times I'm Brazil, it's 1845 and the French are invading the Amazon.

trip report: the prussians expanded their war aims twice, i held out as long as i could and then there was an actual revolution which i didn't have the forces to stop since they were all tied up in huge battles with prussians and they actually won so now i lost half the country and there are rebels everywhere is this what it was like to be a russian nobleman in 1917

Mans posted:Paradox has a weird mental thing about the Prussians because they had really good soldiers for a king and a half. Turbodisciplined prussian supermen appeal really strongly to paradox fans even though Friedrich II and Bismarck were the only decent military rulers. That's why being a german protestant in Berlin in EU4 instantly gives you the best military in the game, in 1522. See also: how anti-Hitler Germany does all the same poo poo as Hitler in HoI4, but it's totally not nazism, it's just glorious, unimpregnable prussian militarism, germans doing what they must do, etc etc, so the usual types can cum to their stalhelms but not be nazis.

I’ve always had the impression the Prussian state was a super threatening military force as soon as it “existed”. Is this not the case? Also I don’t think you have to be a nazi enthusiast to be interested in the turbodisciplined Prussian army or whatever. There’s definitely other examples out there that get the same fascination IMO, samurai/Spartans.

Absolutely not the case, no. Brandenburg-Prussia had a bad, bad time during the 30YW (during which it was very much a minor power), then it's kind of a regular middle power, if punching above it's weight for going all-in on a standing army early. Then comes the heyday of Frederick the Great in the mid 18th century, but that even that superiority barely enables him to take on the real great powers. By the time the French Revolutionary Wars break out the Prussian army performs pretty much on par with the other European militaries, right up until Napoleon bodies them so badly that they invent the General Staff to prevent that happening again. That General Staff with its focus on professionalism and meritocracy is the thing that makes the Prussian/German Army the supreme land army in Europe for a century and a half, but it doesn't exist until 1804.
