The West is clearly running out of weapons, they've even sent cold war era random number generators to Ukraine.

I think you should draw one nice version of your flags and then copy paste it as needed. Pixel art could give something nice and recognizable without requiring too much work. Also the PLA has a different flag than the PRC's. Same thing for the Red Army.

" 1Junko lost " lol.

You misspelled Volkssturm, if that's what it was supposed to mean.

Lukashenko's administration is pretty good imo, even though it's not a party or organization.

I see, that's certainly an interesting reason behind a war. Kinda accelerationist, that's sus.

Is there some kind of ritualized human sacrifice in this religion ?

I'm not really a fan of Dune, so I don't understand a lot of references, but I get the idea about the Speakers. (After visiting the wiki)

When in doubt, it's the bots. That or some lurking lib.

Yeah I suppose that make sense. I was just under the impression that they all fucking died. The reasons behind the lack of heavy equipment are sensible.

I'm not a big fan of armies overly reliant on human shields, as that always feels more like something you see in propaganda than something that can realistically happen. Especially things like not giving guns to soldiers. I mean even if they're disposable politically or something like that, you still have to feed them, clothe them etc. Arming them won't add much to the logistic strain, especially considering most countries have a virtually infinite supply of small arms, the only limit being how far back in time you're willing to look. That was just a rant, don't take it too seriously.

Something interesting you could do in term of world building, is to give your countries different men/division ratios. It's a small detail, but it goes a long way to show that there's a difference between each country's military doctrine and organisation.

I find it also weird that an outnumbered force of armed civilians managed to have less casualties than a more professional, if disposable, force. And I would rather avoid thinking about the nightmare that would be organizing an operational encirclement with untrained civilians. Are those red army civilians at least militas or reservists ? Or are there more professional troops in that army ?

Could you please explain to me what Despair Screamers are too ?

Wtf happened ? That's a crazy k/d ratio.

I also think it's unlikely for the red army to have literally no support units. Usually artillery and armored vehicles are listed separately. It's pretty weird for only one side to have artillery, and for no vehicles or airplanes to be involved at all in a battle of such size. Not a big deal all in all, but it would add a lot of flavor.

I personally prefer Stellaris. Vic3 is optimized like shit, lacks a lot of basic features and has little replayability. And while there are interesting mods, none managed to really redeem the game in my eyes.

Ck3 is pretty good, I'm just not really into the dynasty and personal relationship stuff. That one is also better on steam, as there are many great mods on the steam workshop and the dlcs are few and unremarkable. You won't miss much by only buying the base game.

Stellaris is better for nation building, with an economic system that's somehow better than Vic3. The politic side of things is rather lacking however. Overall it's a balanced game, with good economy, diplomacy and warfare. Like I said the only subpart department is politics, in which Vic3 is way better. The workshop is also very good for this game, but with the price of all dlcs piracy is also a good choice.

Note: Stellaris' frequent hotfixes and such mean that you're unlikely to be able to enjoy multiplayer if you have a pirated version. From personal experience.

 

I was wondering if anyone had written or read interesting stuff and could share it here.
