One thing I have seen mentioned in discussion of this AI mod out there (Xorme - AI) is that apparently the AI pretty much never self-generates CBs for itself. Which might go a long way to explain the snail-pace expansion (apart from the complex network of alliances you are forbidden to create in 19th century Victoria 3, but normal here).

The mod tries to get around it by having a AI-only event grant it conquest CBs occasionally.

So I finally hit 1492, the year I would really wish Paradox would bookmark

As it stands for the Original 7 majors:

England is normal, even owning a couple provinces in Calais.
France is also normal
As is Sweden


But Iberia is a bit of a mess, and no Spain


Austria is smaller but acceptable. HRE always tends towards Bohemia though

No Russia

Ottomans is maybe half the size it should be

Also the Kingdom of Hungary is the most dominant country in eastern Europe

Pretty much the same for me, although I have been playing Hungary.

Funny that you mention it because the administration just shut down registration for the lottery, claiming that "certain changes" were being made.

*That* is much more worrying statement than Vance's.

It's something that needs to be balanced carefully, but thematically it makes sense. It should probably be on a geometric curve, with quickly diminishing returns the more admin skill you have. Going from 10 to 20 should be noticeable, from 80 to 90 much less so as even the best admin skill will run against the physical limitations of reality. Actually, below 20 or so it would even be neat if it applied a penalty. (That said, haven't had time to play the new patch yet.)

So uh in one of the Epstein emails released, he asks if Putin has the photos of Trump "blowing Bubba".



Good luck everybody.

The person remembers that Hitler was a Muslim that tried to destroy Western societies from within?
