some stuff i cut for the beta release, just to get it tested properly with more people without it breaking completely. I have some new changes, but haven't had the time/resolve to put it out yet. Thank you so much for being interested in it, though! I didn't think anyone would be playing it still until i finished it up!

the perf patches have helped alot; i use to quit out around 1870... so we're getting there. I've played 100+ hours of vic3 and never made it past 1905

i have a brand new 9800x3d lol. maybe my definition of 'slow' is different.

The economy is the point, but the only thing you can do is make buildings. I also think the lack of stockpiling makes everything feel so ephemeral; never really feel the difference between -75 and +75% pricing, plus all the mapi stuff; its just too much detail for so little difference in outcome. Once you go beyond like 10 states to take care of, I just build wherever there are jobseekers and don't worry about pricing. The game UI makes its so difficult to manage effectively. Too tedious!

its almost a good game. you really only get to interact with the sim through the building system and occasionally a war. Not much else to do. Also, by 1890, the game slows to a complete crawl and becomes unplayable.

I very distinctly remember the last time i listened to NPR in 2016 was when they did a segment on health care plan differences between hillary and bernie; lied through their teeth about how bernies plan was bad etc etc. Haven't listened to NPR since.
