Nonsense, my Democratic People's Republic welcomes a variety of views and positions within government and only executes those who are secretly traitors to the revolution. <br ...

<t> The impact from decisions they dislike can be enormous - I have some very dedicated fascists in my government who hate that I keep cultivating democratic socialism and I routinely see -20 or -30 from them on some decisions.<br/>

On the other hand, if they get too troublesome I generally ...

It would depend on which is their higher stat among Intelligence, War or Charisma.<br/>

I've yet to grok this all, as some roles can benefit from more than one of these stats, but my rule of thumb for now is : Intelligence > technical ...

<t> Raise income tax to at least 30%. 40% is not overly problematic either, but beyond that you'll need to put your private economy on life support.<br/>
Sales tax can be a big earner too; crank it up to 100% and then play lots of private investment cards. The cards will pump 1000s into the private ...

<t> You only had 3 infantry brigades and some independent units by turn 150..?<br/>

I do wonder if we're over-expanding early on. Territory is not actually that useful for the most part - it stresses your supply infrastructure, it creates admin strain, it spreads your armies out, and a lot ...

My concern is, are the AI Majors having the same issues? Because I feel like they don't get bothered much by minors. I hope that is not the case. I would hate if it was only a challenge for the player

<t> Everyone starts with lower tech levels at T3 start, but movie's disadvantages are much more pronounced as the tech levels to up. Militia are very poor compares to real units and the more real units you start with unlocked, the easier it is to quickly raise good offensive units to fight them ...

<t> Raiders and other minors will (and should) never play by the same rules as the player. They're the equivalent of Civ's Barbarians, they're not intended to be other nations really. They're really only dangerous if you're on a low starting tech level, they fall apart very easily once you start to ...

Pretty sure they blow it all on booze and hookers.

Close them and they'll deteriorate over a few turns

My success rate for placing spies is very low, I can't imagine how I'd ever get to 6, unless via a very lucky role for placing a ring.<br/>

The main issue is that it doesn't make sense to have to improve relations when you are at war ...

Ohh... cool. I never knew that. Never played a game where I have generated significantly more than 400 BPs. Interesting...

Really? I'm currently producing about 3000...

Think this was lowered in one of the patches, no?

You need to have 2-3 feats in Autocracy for them I think.

I've been relying pretty heavily on murder to deal with leaders I don't like too; it seems the most effective option by far.

200 turns into a very slow game on a giant map and we're still firmly in the mid-game here. 2 major AIs and I have killed a few weaker majors and cleared all the minors and are now preparing for a final battle that I expect to take at least another 100 turns

For me, its more about playing the game so that it feels even. I haven't got very far into the game (10 turns maybe?), and I have already seen many people that I presume are at my level with this type of strategy game (medium experience, but ...

The problem I seem to have are city sieges, if I surround the enemy they seem to be raising troops inside their hex and they're not starving or surrendering, that seems really awkward and bad. I'd at least propose that a totally cut off city ...

<t> A lot of the 'under the hood' stuff is literally there in the combat window. The 'offensive mods' and 'defensive mods' windows tell you exactly what's going on to make the calculation.<br/>

<t> QOL level is local QOL points/city level, so yes, it reduces QOL. It allows you to build higher-level assets within the city tho, which means more BPs from offices, more IP from industries and better worker output efficiency. So if space or population are constrained, upgrading is more valuable ...
