    G*mers attempting to simulate economy and crashing face first into dialectical materialism is one of my favourite new genres of comedy. Obligatory throwback to chuds crying about communism being overpowered in vicky3 cause you don’t lose half your productive output to landlords and porkies

    Edit: it’s not really new if I think about it. Famously simcity fudged parking space needs to make cities that look actually nice. And dwarf fortress had to remove money since it almost immediately deteriorated into abject poverty and immoderation to the majority of the fort

        They do get a huge relations penalty i think

        The whole game is going to be different in 2 weeks though. You’ll be able to nationalize industries other countries have invested in building in your states, i bet that’ll piss em right off

      Better yet, make gulags a city service you have to build like sewerage treatment plants and garbage dumps.

      They spawn little NKVD trucks or mobs of Red Guards (depending on map tile) that go from but building to building getting rid of landlords

      I’m more concerned with how it runs. I know at launch even people with 4090’s were barely hitting 30fps because it was so poorly optimized. If it runs well, I might finally pirate it.

        If you have an nvidia gpu I hear it runs okayish, but it’s is still pretty shit on amd gpu. The YouTuber “city planner plays” did some testing after the optimization patch was released if you want to look into it further.
