vcczar Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Bleeding Kansas is now way more politically risky for an incumbent president. I think the 1850s might be the worst time to be president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will balance things a bit more. Also toning down dom stab drop just a bit. I'm considering having the linger decay, which affect the meter, just progress to the middle. That way, if a meter is high, it has a chance of going down, and if it is low, it has a chance of going up. This would prevent a gamebreaking situation involving meters, I think. Ah so like the annual decay in Yearly Prestige or Legitimacy in PDX games, makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 14 hours ago, Patine said: Though, as bad as Taylor was, it was moreso Fillmore I was referring to in 1850's, who came to power when Taylor had a bad case of indigestion in 1850. Taylor had the chance to be a great president. By the Compromise of 1850 debate, he was securely under the influence of William H Seward, who was way more anti-slavery than Lincoln. Taylor was refusing to expand slavery, stated he would not sign the Compromise, and said he would personally lead an army if the South rebelled. Many scholar thinks had Taylor lived the Civil War would have occurred earlier, but also that the South would be far less equipped to handle a Northern invasion in 1850, likely resulting in a quicker Northern victory. In 10 years, the South would be more industrial in parts, have more military academies, more munitions, etc. Taylor would also benefit from having a more organized army with combat vets, considering the Mexican War had just ended 2 years previously.

The event that triggers the French invasion, requires the US being involved in a major war already. I have this covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm now at the year 1885. My goal is to get to 1900 today, but sometimes a decade is so full with scripted event that I can only get through a decade in a day. The main issue is that I added so many flavor events that are yet to be filled in that this update is going way slower than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm now at 1890. One of the more interesting events in this time is the Samoan Crisis. I've increased the chance of war against the German Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPotatoTed Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @vcczar I found a way to edit the rules in a way that make it clear what I removed and what I added, and you can accept or reverse my changes at the click of a button. I've done that on the traits page and also about 80% of the 2.1 Faction Realignment page. Hoping to at least finish the faction realignment today during the Steelers game. Just cleaning things up, trying to clarify and give better CPU rules where I can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 21 minutes ago, Patine said: I don't think the U.S. military had that much external posture as of the 1810's, early 1820's to seriously attempt that. Especially with contested control of the Caribbean between several much bigger European Navies. A land invasion of Canada in that period was a disaster and fiasco, remember. This is the 1910-1920 Revolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
