Yeah, there's games and there's real life. The difference between them is that games need to be fun and make sense while real life is under no such compunction.

<t> One of the most common demands by your factions is to increase one of your profiles (heart, meritocracy, etc). Much of the time when I accept these demands I never have any opportunities at all to make decisions which lead to an increase. It seems entirely random. And of course you take a ...

<t> Is this thing (the Emergency Tax Strategem) working as intended? I spent a bunch of time over the last few games learning how to develop an economy that is, if not self-sufficient, at least manageable so that I'm not losing a lot of money every turn. I'd played with the Patriotic Collection ...

<t> I'll give it a shot, thanks! <br/>

The bottleneck isn't the number of recruits though, it's the IP isn't it? Without Industry I you're stuck with the trickle of industry points from service tax and you can't spam infantry battalions while building Industry I, which takes quite some time ...

<t> I like to play completely random planets. I've been playing on normal but upgraded to Hard for my latest game. The planet I generated looks like a ton of fun with forests, giant squids, sentient life, and lots and lots of ruins. However, the start location has two slaver factions immediately ...

<t> On the one hand, in my current game I failed to get a good STR design roll for infantry 4 times in a row. I've given up trying because it would take so long. On the other hand I rolled extremely well on my first tank design. So I kind of like how it forces you to adapt. Mediocre dudes and ...

Thanks! Honestly, it's just that the Tariff category annoys the heck out of me. Such valuable screen real estate wasted on a barely used 4 card category! Unless I'm playing wrong and people are bustin' tariffs in and out every 10 turns. I think I average maybe 1 tariff card a game.

<t> This seems relatively staightforward; I would suggest moving the tax strategems to the Tariffs strategem category when you hit f5 to play strategems and renaming it Taxes&Tariffs or something. Tariffs and Taxes are some of the most rarely played strategems. It hardly makes sense to have a main ...
