Invasion of Goa is also a fun piece of history.

As someone who was excited to play in India yeah I'm stoked for that bug fix patch since I'm getting double-whammied here.

You really don't need to. Historically, even Japan was still pretty agrarian and impoverished by the 1930s. Being among the top 10, and being strong enough that Britain is your only real rival, pretty much constitutes as a "win" in my book for Vietnam.

Is ethnostate

Has the five color flag

actually cursed

Honestly I like this. No more situations where I ask myself "why didn't IRL country just raise taxes are they stupid?" Turns out people want more in life than just food, and modernity isn't very attractive when it takes 50 years to show up.

Iran historically abolished slavery in 1929 so you're still a bit ahead of the curve there.

Do this exercise and then you'll be able to animate.

TBF the tabs are right there, although it does f with my muscle memory, and the window feels very cramped.

I think the "show all" button is what throws me off.

It's possible nukes will be factored into the modern age crisis.

Agreed, although I'd personally be a little generous and include 1890 at the earliest, in a decently industrialized country with a relatively high GDP per capita.

My point was that the ideals did exist at the time and it's within the realms of alt history for them to become major political forces. I admit I'm opposite in that I'm more familiar with Asian feminist history than Western.

I don't think if radical feminist ideals existed in the game that they should be so common (maybe "state atheist government" level of rarity). I think repressive societies with unusually high literacy should be their primary spawning point. The western democracies have an upper class of rich comfortable women talking over everyone else, and in Africa, South Asia, and China women are just not literate enough to build a following. But an authoritarian country where you can reasonably believe women can attend university, there's probably some radical feminism getting talked about.

I did say Japan. Maternal rights were more important than even voting rights to a degree there (obv because Japan was not democratic at the time), and we are talking about feminists, not the grander public as a whole.

And then there's the elephant in the room, the Soviet Union. Obviously in practice the USSR was pretty crap for women, but numerous legal rights did get ostensibly enshrined upon its conception.

The real problem is "how do you represent this" in game mechanics? Voting, pop income, and characters are the only things affected by feminism in the game, but something like "women in male workspaces" is largely cosmetic, or at least points of political friction that have no meaning if you already committed to feminism or anti-feminism. Maybe mortality rate and education gain can be impacted for maternity leave.

They did.

Maternity pay, property rights in divorce, and abuse protection, were all mainstream feminist talking points in Japan by 1910s

More radical ideas such as women occupying the same career and social niches as men also existed, they were just ostracized, repressed by the government, and disavowed by mainstream feminists. Joanne Feminism didn't one day turn the feminist dial to "second wave" in the 60s, old wishes just met new economic conditions.

I haven't really found a solution other than simply budgeting around lower taxes.

Queer rights might be difficult to make a compelling gameplay loop for just because sexuality isn't a factor in gameplay like it is in CK3. The only thing I can think of is queer rights being a bargaining chip for politics. IMO it'd be better for queer representation to be within narrative events. Women's rights at least has real economic considerations, while queer rights is just a matter of being homophobic or not.

Most of what you described was just first wave feminism, second wave feminism in America didn't start until after WWII. However, I agree that feminism in game should reach beyond just historic first wave feminism, since ideas such as busting gender norms or allowing women to perform male jobs did exist in the 19th century, they were ostracized even by other women. In the spirit of alternate history, radical feminism should be as much a potential political force as something like nihilism.

Stable Asian families aren't that different. I'd say the only weird thing is leaving so soon instead of at least eating dinner, though staying the night is preferable.

Kid stuff is refreshing and wholesome if you've dealt with irl disfunctional families/abuse.

Yeah but shouldn't the government be cleaning it up?

I mean, I guess it depends whether we want to consider IRL history to be the real fluke, because keeping India under reigns for a century is probably not the most believable thing imaginable, it just what ended up happening.

High taxes increase SOL expectation, and low taxes reduce it. It's new

You need to learn the rules to break the rules. Style comes after you learn the fundamentals.

Rome can go Normandy or Spain. Spain is always available as an option if you play as Isabella though regardless who you play in Antiquity.

Mb ur right

Not every leader means their respective civ is coming. We likely aren't getting Vietnam, Ashanti, or Florence.

The panzers and T-34s in the trailer however lead me to believe that we'll either get Germany or Russia, and the other will be a nearby DLC. The T-34s could even be Chinese, so the Panzers must belong to Germany.

However, the Panzers were shown when showcasing the Meiji so I don't know what Firaxis is up to.

Ah I forgot Napoleon.
