I know the fighting on Alpha Draconis has been over for a few years, but the separatist colonists there love to pretend that conflict between humans and reptiloids goes back centuries. Everyone points to the Ickean Gospels as proof that pre-Cataclysm Earth knew about the reptiloids, but David Icke first appears in the historical record only from some social media fragments from the 2070s. That is decades after he was supposedly dead. Every monarch that's been cloned from that period has turned out to be 100% homo sapiens as well.

Oh yeah, total revanchist propaganda. Honestly even at smaller scales, Paradox buys into this crap all the time, setting up ethnic groups and conflicts as if they were eternal even when it makes no sense, like having "Tiberian" as a full ethnic group going back to the Roman Republic or "Canada" as independent from the USA and fighting hot wars with them pre-2024.

There is a consequence but it's so deep in the code you have to know what to look for to see it. Every time you use a drone, your visible stats aren't affected (your BadGuy does go up a little but whatever, it's worth it for the immediate threat being disposed of) but the hypernormalization stat does lower pretty drastically. Usually nobody notices this since most of the nations with the FirstWorld tag have exponentially growing HN but since the Cool Zone expansion there are a bunch of events that can decimate your HN, at which point a couple drone strikes become a death knell for your internal stability and your Rep.

if you REALLY overuse drones then a few of them might have their loyalty change to the character employing them rather than the state. this can be interesting but ultimately it kind of sucks when part of your drone fleet follows the president home after he leaves office

No offence but while the American Empire was undoubtedly bad, it was the only empire that ever came close to acknowledging some of of the High Reticulans' crimes like Recticulan Probings of the 20th century. I'm just saying Reticulans are no angels.

Like once drones are funded by private entities they are no longer inherited by the next leader. If your War minister has the trait "privatize everything" it turns out the corps own your entire military after a few years.

Doing drone strikes within your own official borders is different than doing them in your puppets or enemy/neutral nations btw. I think sometimes people don't realize that because all the buttons and tooltips are the same when you order them.

The penalty applies even if they get popped into the news cycle by an event. Effectively, that means that the RNG news will report about anything BUT current events.

Nah, it's a slider position, high "Decorum" completely shifts unrest quantities in some radical-rear end directions. It's a pretty good slider for a lot of specific run types but it binds your hands in weird ways - basically you can do anything that lacks people who care about it.

i need some advice. i've started a run as canada and so far the first plague is sorta under control, but it's absolutely raging in the plague pit down south. i've closed the border, obv., but now the us is starting to ask about reopening it. and because their leader has the "brainworms" trait each time i decline anything they propose the game makes a roll which can lead to anything from absolutely nothing to tariffs to outright invasion and annexation. and i just got the latter one, so this run's done is there any way to avoid all this or should i just forget about doing an ironman run as canada?

So I'm playing as USA, and in the run-up to the First Plague War it seems like there's some sort of weird interaction between the "fascist" leadership trait and the "family kleptocracy" trait where I got the "I;m thinking bout those Beans" malus?

I've always been confused - were furries protohybrid people, or nonhybrids who were aspirational hybrid people, or was the human-animal hybridization actually continuous over that era? I always heard it was lostech between the fall of Middle Kingdom Egypt and the 2200s.

All of the above. The 2nd gave way to the 1st in the mid 2040s and there was always relic populations from the Middle Kingdom or from populations that fled earth before the collapse of the MK, or from what little bits of the tech survived.

Paradox made them show up too early, probably as a joke, so the first models look stupid and aren't useful. But once the water wars start, climate turns significantly more arid everywhere, and your government changes to Guzzoline Warlords Confederacy, upgraded models look a lot more like the historical ones and they become really useful for pouring in tons of firepower on bigger, less maneuverable war rigs.
