So true though, all that stuff is all WAYYY overpriced. I actually have a whole bit about it in my standup act. I was at the movies the other day and the girl behind the counter asks me if I want to upgrade my popcorn from a Jumbo to a Mondo and says it's only 10 cents more. I'm like, "well I already paid through the nose for the Jumbo so what's 10 cents more?" So I get it and she says "wait a moment" and comes around the counter and hands me, and I kid you not, a bathtub full of popcorn. I mean this thing came with its own dolly. She asked if I wanted butter and I go "thanks, but I actually want to live to see the whole movie."

No, but I love going to the movies. It's always a fun time. The only thing I don't love about it is the guy in back of me who decides it's a good idea to put his feet on the back of my seat. Apparently I'm like a magnet for these guys because I always have one in back of me everytime I go. I guess the back of my head must just have a big neon sign on it with an arrow pointing down that says "FREE FOOTREST!"

No but really I'm a pretty non-confrontational guy, I probably would never call that guy out. In fact, sometimes I think I'm too non-confrontational. I swear, a guy could come up to me, call me scumbag, punch me in the stomach, call my mom a whore, spit in my face, steal my wallet, and key my car and I'd pretend I was texting someone and didn't notice. Now if he stole my phone, that'd be a different matter.
...I'd have to pretend I was asleep!

Goodnight, everyone!

>At the request of liege in 3660, I, Cl traveled to St. Louis as his delegate to the Papacy. Six years later, after having converted to Catholicism, I lead a small army to displace Stirling Leitner, called Bishop of Gasconade - now heretic and Evangelical. At the request of the Pope, Grand Duchess Sarah allowed the territory to pass from her realm and return to the Papacy under my ducal guidance on the 13th of July in the year 3666 of our Lord Jesus Christ.

They start to promote on their own without a need for factories, and it produces capitalists who will then build factories along with making more artisans who more readily promote to craftsmen. Its great I think for nations that are focusing on literacy, who cant stand to promote craftsmen. Then you put state capitilism in power in the 70s and on when you finally have a nice industry more than likely.

Of course, other situations can arise like needing a jingo party for war etc.

I always fill my mainland with max level forts. What's wrong with that? I hate the idea of letting either another country or rebels occupy even a single one of my provinces and forts give my armies time to get there before the siege ends.

>telling the facts of history makes me Chamberlain
The general rule of thunb in budget is that you never have enough, so you cut on things you think can wait to fund things you want to prioritize. During long periods of peace or assumed superiority, the obvious thing you cut is the military, since you don't need it right this instant.

>>162855162
You can get New England and the west coast.

>>162855225
Don't you find that incredibly tedious? I can barely bother building forts along the border.
It would be neat if capitalists would build them on their own like railroads.

>isn't the ideas (focus tree) literally the easiest thing ever to mod and actually charging for them ludicrous?
Charging $3 per idea does seem ludicrous, especially since I feel that national ideas should have been in the base game.

>also I like the production mechanic of hoi4 but it quickly becomes cluttered and then meaningless as you steamroll across the world
That's why smaller nations need national ideas, because they're actually challenging. Additionally, they've been regularly improving the AI, though I think there's a hard limit considering that I've never really seen a truly good video game AI.

It ain't a meme if you don't form the meme

I'm looking to buy a Christmas gift for a friend of mine who's really into grand strategy games. I'm not a fan of these games, so I don't know if there's anything that has been released this year that kinda flew under the radar that he might not own yet.

He's a fan of Warhammer, so I was thinking of getting him the Total War game, but as far as I can tell it's more of a game for unenlightened normies like me, and not for grand strategy fans.

Any recommendations? 90% of his videogame time is in EU4, Stellaris, HOI4, and War Thunder

It's always a meme. Even KUKery is a meme since it can reach world power status even while every event in the game involves raping them.

If he doesn't already have Crusader Kings 2, you should get that for him. It's a pretty great game, and it still has updates coming out for it.

Does it have to be from 2016? If he likes GSG like EU4 and HOI4 get him Vicky 2.
