Don’t most leftists refer to “communism as practiced” as “state capitalism”? Though even accepting that, and that’s a big thing to concede given how radically it expands the definition of capitalism, you still need to exclude those other pre-capitalist economic models you mention.

I have the same dilemma, though the fact we get to carry two weapons changes a lot for me. I’m thinking light bowgun as a support weapon while I use the greatsword as my main. I want to run the chargeblade but my obviously right handed character using his shield in the main hand drives me insane.

I’m well aware of that fact, it’s part of why I asked him. Even if they weren’t exempt, and apparently they were, this is such a fringe case I could see it being omitted regardless.

Could this have been the case for some Roman’s? Since they provide their own equipment I could imagine a blacksmith making something he plans to use himself. Or were those specialists exempt from military service?

And of course the ‘Martin’s Secret’ perk outright states that Martin taught Henry enough to become a master swordsmith once he got enough experience to comprehend and internalize those teachings. That he did this in a few months smithing part-time is absurd, but that’s just Henry in general.

I think that’s a misreading of Martin’s character. He very clearly rejects the warrior/adventurer’s life as something he wants for Henry, instead wanting him to live a peaceful life. Meaning he wants Henry to become a blacksmith since it’s that or picking turnips and hauling shit.

It’s really sad. The EU had problems but it provided a really good broad outline for how the New Rupublic’s fictional history should pan out. Instead of building upon that template Ep7 scrapped everything just so Ep4 could be remade.

Does this apply if the suppression is targeted though? I saw someone toss out the idea of DeJoy‘s USPS disrupting mail-in-votes in democrat leaning counties specifically. I agree that a statewide disruption could favor dems but that isn’t necessarily going to be how it’s done.

I don’t think the average American even knows what Bohemia or the HRE is, much less the hussites.

That doesn’t last long, at least not in my game. Godwin says they can save the eye pretty soon after that fight.

I already knew about him so (nearly) slicing out his left eye was a seriously hype moment for me. I didn’t realize he was going to be in the game so slowly realizing we were going up against Czechia’s That Guy of military history, and then got to team up with him, was quite the ride too.

What’s changed is that the bad pseudo-Latin isn’t an approximation of high gothic because it relates to English the same way high gothic relates to low gothic, that’s literally just what high gothic is.

Amusingly HoI4 nerfs the U.S. unto the dirt more than any other country is distorted in *either* direction, simply because a historically accurate U.S. economy would break the game. Same reason most mods remove the U.S. from play with a civil war or something.

Is this cropped? It looks like it to me. Will the full version be posted here later or somewhere else?
