Why didn't Paradox add mechanics that make disgusting province snaking less viable or outright untenable? Happy pride btw!

They're trying it with EU5 and the control mechanic, but the "content" creators' videos show the AI still blobs like a retard.

paradogs can only shit out abstracted and gamified garbage that make as much sense as
snaking is not as vulnerable because
>a province can only exchange ownership during a war, in which one have to pass a certain threshold of the imaginary warscore before one could even annex the snake provinces he already garrisoned. imagine successfully capturing strategic provinces but you can never actually annex it before you capture the capital of your opponent including his entire realm and deleting their entire army for no reason whatsoever
>moving troops over a vast amount of distance is basically cost free both monetary wise and energy wise
>every province has a pre-defined big borders in the first place

No, control is not a mechanic you dumb nigger it's just one abstracted value that doesn't simulate anything

Yep, thanks for confirming you don't even play the game.
