First full Vic3 run after the new DLC, went for a Soviet Union run which went ok.
A bunch of other stuff happened like Trotsky being killed by a frenchman lots of european nations going communist and stuff
Sneak update since there were like a couple of months left
I dunno end game screen
Premier Rosa Luxemburg declares war on the USA to aid the communist indian territory uprising
US is having a moment
Looks like you were a lot more aggressive with direct conquests than I am. I tend to prefer backing communist uprisings and then adding them to my bloc after they win.
Infamy is always ticking down so if you aren't constantly going to war and taking stuff then what are you doing? Also one big thing it is very easy to get extra stuff as Russia while having your hands in every pot you have a big army and the european powers now this so they are always willing to give you a little something, another thing is that I have a few of my protectorates revolt and I think the devs messed up somewhere because when they want to declare independence taking their provinces is extremely cheap, I think it should've been something like a quarter of the actual cost but it seemed more like a tenth so.

Using the money I saved by not going to war to build up domestic industries and maintain a high standard of living
smdh you'd doom the world by never exporting the revolution, Trotsky would slap you if he could but alas he was eaten by a frenchman
Really though obviously try to stay out of the other european powers plays so you can go in grab stuff and get out is what will fuel your future economy which in turn will grow your economy much faster which in turn will improve peoples living standard, like I had the highest at 27 with the second highest being the CSA at 25 and the one after only having 20 SoL
It occurs to me that by conquering territory, I'll be growing my GDP, which will expand my debt ceiling, which will let me build things faster.
I was gonna comment that even in Trotskys wettest dream, he still gets taken out. Lol lmao even. But it looks like it could work in theory still (as flawed as gleaning anything meaningful from something that's programmed and isn't as subject to an infinite about of variables like real life is). I'm wondering if they never sold Alaska, they found oil sooner, and Chernobyl never happened (which thinking about it, could've been sabotage on some level.) if they could've reliably and successfully, even against Western propaganda, export actual freedom and democracy, (after of course, the dictatorship of the proletariat) instead of the complicated aristocracy that's wearing a diferent coat than it used to.
I'd like to try out a game where I build a custom power bloc around the 1st International.
I just got the hang of it and then the DLC and update came out. Is the DLC that worth it? So far Blocs have been limited without it
I think if you like Vic3 then it's worth it Blocs are a pretty good addition to the overall game, but you could always go the pirate route and unlock the DLC
Maybe hot take, communist USA is kinda cursed.
