Here it is.

It's a series order, so unless something goes really wrong before they begin production, looks like it's happening.

I find it a bit funny how people are saying the Epstein files are going to be released. Nothing with Trump's name in it will be released. Those will be held due to the newly started investigation into Bill Clinton and other Democrats.

I've seen quite a lot of really conspirational talk of a secret government facility somewhere scrubbing all MAGA names from the physical records.

The Trump gave a blowjob to Bubba stuff coming lately is just...bizzare- has me wondering if this is all part of handling the release. Go over the top with crazy stories to poison the well and mask the more believable and very real stuff he got up to.

It all sounds really mad. Making a conspiracy theorist of me. But we are dealing with an authoritarian regime here and very par the course for such governments when faced with potential embarrassment- always the key weak spot for fascists.

And a lot of them seem to look at it from the perspective of the first 10, 20 years of a 500 years campaign instead of taking a higher level view.

Yes, frustrating.

As I am arguing with a couple of kids over at Paradox, one thing the "OMG DECENTRALISATION IMBALANCE" people ignore is that that one slider doesn't live in isolation.

Multiple times I made decisions in the game to forego significant bonuses because the law/option giving them meant raising decentralisation.

The period, at a bird's eye level, has centralised states triumphing over decentralised states. There is also an arms race where countries gain huge but temporary leads, the UK with very powerful finance, or France with conscription. There seem to be different viable ways to get that strong control, from the UK's parliamentary system to Russian autocracy.

The way to "balance" the game imo is to make a decision to decentralise good in the short term, interest groups are placated for example, be they old fashioned methods of commercial organisation, regional peculiarites or class privileges. But long term, for this period, the "meta" is that centralised states have the edge over the decentralised ones.

Not to mention many folks crying about low control in locations and that there "need" to be more ways to project it basically from day 1 of a campaign. "Second capitals", "provincial centers" etc., and while not completely invalid it's also increasing the chance to make the mechanic meaningless.

Yeah Johan will need to stand fast on core design elements. But, come to think of it, he is the guy who was patching EU2  based on what needed nerfing to avoid losing their MP game.
