Thread 2156119

Are you supposed to have a master's degree in economics to understand this game? Literally nothing in it makes any sense to me, and I never had any trouble understanding any of the mechanics in the other PDX games.

A brain would be enough

>To be fair, you have to have a high IQ to appreciate VICTORIA 3
Rick and Morty redditor game.

You're supposed to be a socialist to get the game.

victoria is a game meant for schizoids

autist normies get filtered

From what I've heard about this game, having a degree in economics would make you understand it *less*.

>>2156119 (OP)
More tech and better throughput means more turnover and profit. More turnover and profit mean higher taxes so long as you have tax cap. Laissez Faire gives you the most construction cap with least expenditure, you should always get it. Your focus should be on claiming natural resources which you lack, like oil and rubber, which everyone lacks late game (cause oil + rubber = cars and cars make infite cash late game, if you or your computer haven't given up by then) That's the entire economy. I guess the fact that furniture is made from wood doesn't need any further explaination.

More like a master's degree in Marxism-Leninism.

All the economics you need to understand is just supply and demand.
Not enough shit to meet demand? Get more shit.
Nobody buys your shit? Create demand for it.

>>2156119 (OP)
a degree in cookie clickers would be more appropriate

>>2156119 (OP)
no just the median IQ is all that's needed. sorry you had to find out this way

>>2156119 (OP)
you are supposed to have autism to understand it

Maybe a modern degree would agree with the game

vic 2 is the economic autism game
vic 3 is just clicking a cookie
>Literally nothing in it makes any sense to me
it's not supposed to, you're meant to treat the economy as if its a cookie clicking game, not an economic simulation

>>2164972
wtf I love modern monetary theory now

>>2164029
why are we pretending victoria 2's economic simulation was any better. There weren't booms or busts simulated there either, and trade barely functioned.

>why are we pretending victoria 2's economic simulation was any better.
there's no need to pretend, victoria 2's economic simulator is better.

>>2165098
It's because some people inform their opinions from the best memes. ISIS had objectively the best memes and see where that got them in the end.

>>2165098
>There weren't booms or busts simulated there either
yes there are
busts because of world wars that fuck up the global economy when provinces with large industrial bases get occupied
booms because of new techs or colonys
it beats victoria 3 by miles in this regard

>>2165185
> busts because of world wars that fuck up the global economy when provinces with large industrial bases get occupied
This happens in Victoria 3 also idiot.

>>2165197
>y-yeah well victoria 2 doesn't simulate booms or busts either
>victoria 2 does simulate it
>yeah well victoria 3 also simulates booms and busts too!
the cookie crumbles....

>>2165098
Well, they were "simulated", primarily from the spike in demand from all the fort building, and a massive deflation spiral at the end.

It's completely unlike the real world, but it's "modeled".

>>2156119 (OP)
nobody plays this game. Paradox only made it as a goof because trolls kept requesting, its an inside joke.

>>2156119 (OP)
On the contrary, having any notion of economics will make you worse at this game, due to how retarded it's modelling of economy is.

>>2156119 (OP)
The problem is that people are approaching turn of the century economics with modern understanding of economics. There is also the issue that the game is trying to simulate how multiple vastly different economic systems work and then players get salty that their specific preferred economic sysytem isnt an insta win and dominant over all the others in every regard.

>>2156119 (OP)
you just do pic related and let your capitalists take care of consumer goods

>>2165098
Victoria II was a game done with lesser means

I think your discussion may be more fruitful if you accept neither V2 or V3 are or were intended to be actual simulations of the Economy but a roleplaying scene which grants the player some immersion and a sense of existing with a physical reality bound by laws but still lets them do wacky impractical things like Autarky or Council Communism.
