The necessity for an army.
I see this opinion a lot. Sincere question, how are countries without armies supposed to defend themselves from imperialism?
Give America all your oil.
You can rephrase it in lighter terms as "how much is enought military funding?"
enought military funding
as much as can keep you more powerful than the rest of the competition combined.
Well that escalated quickly.
At least that's what I aim for in Civ VI.
No idea about you
My aim for CIV is minimal military to survive a first push but enough money to just buy military units to then push back, take all their cities and be labelled warmonger. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of this ass so i spend the rest of the game fighting... I see I have a problem in this pipeline
I don't play Civ VI and I don't rule a country so I can't speak from experience.
Pretty simple actually.
Just make sure you don't have any resource worth anything in the international market.
- Let stuff like petroleum, Lithium, Uranium and other such thingies be sold to the first bidder.
- Have your soil be nuclear contaminated, down to the bedrock, so nobody wants your land.
- Also, import all nuclear waste from other countries
- Have a population that looks as ugly as possible, so noone will want to rape your people.
- Should be easier considering point 2
- Something like leprosy in the genitals would help too.
- Be absolutely full of population, such that the place is a cesspool.
Hey, I said it'd be simple, not that it would be easy or even humanly possible.
Religion, in general.
in the cases that i could think of; i was arguing with people who wanted to remain willfully ignorant and refused to hear any sort of reasoning that contradicted their views, so it was a matter of accepting that i can't force people to educate themselves because the information i was sharing was easily verifiable fact.
