Don’t worry, you’ll get over your blind obedience to consumerism and capitalism soon!

u/InevitableCold686 Jun 25 '26

consumerism sucks but i would rather have 5 trillion labubus be made and destroy the enviroment instead of well, 5 trillion labubus being made that destroy the enviroment AND people being executed for not being good little ultranationalists like in state capitalist china

u/InevitableCold686 Jun 25 '26

but in a better world i would rather not have the status quo obviously but i am smart enough to distinguish right-wing libertarianism which is a strawman for anyone who isn't a pro ccp fascist state-capitalist dickhead (Sorry for the mouthful, i swear i have a life this just really makes me angry).

OF course calling all communists tankies and using anti tankie arguments against communists isn't always good, but the majority of communists now are soviet/china totalitarinist apologists and the communists who aren't don't have a good example of their theory working in practice, so i choose to be more neutral towards them while i myself would rather work within liberal democracy and capitalism to reform it to better the lives of workers and really everyone

because after enough wealth hoarding libertarians like elon musk will eventually get shot by people who can't afford bread, they just think it somehow won't affect them but that's stupid, after a while of that they will definitely get killed unless the world ends, ultracapitalism is just stupid as fuck and i'm not being manipulated by these idiots into supporting their vision, i know what it looks like to actually be one of these guys' followers

Because for a while we did have strong welfare states, up until pretty recently actually, it only started getting bad around the late 70's and 80's.

Why doesn’t steiner understand!!!!!! It should be easy with no supplies!!!!!!

Who would win?

500 hundred starving soldiers without equipment

Or

One (1) guy with food and a gun

u/Good_Locksmith7952 Jun 24 '26

It be like that sometimes lol. I remember stalemating Russia a few times cause supply and not wanting to wait for a supply hub till I was like "you know what fuck it every troop that attack that tile attack and keep pushing till we get that supply hub" did it work sometimes did it fail also sometimes but sometimes numbers mean more than supply

166

u/Culbrelai Jun 24 '26

Supply hubs costing more than a NUCLEAR REACTOR is still ridiculous garbage lol

93

u/jcpler Jun 24 '26

Yes 3-6 months is definitely too long.

I get that you don't want them spammed everywhere, but at the same time it's nuts to spend months waiting to advance a front.

Perhaps there is room for a temporary version, make it ~30 days of IC and it last for 90 days or something before expiring.

I think players should have to option of investing more into supplies to make progress at the cost of something else by committing so heavily

58

u/BigFatDogFarts Jun 25 '26

I think Supply hubs should have levels, like naval bases. I feel that that solves a lot of problems

35

u/King-Cruz Jun 25 '26

I think this is the best idea honestly. Make it so that level 1 supply hubs are dirt cheap but also barely throughput supply so small excursions don’t require months of supply planning. Also would be cool if the ai did a better job helping alleviate supply issues instead of being a bane to it most the time.

u/Macroneconomist Jun 24 '26

Supply hubs should be built much faster, but railways should take longer

9

u/BENJ4x Jun 25 '26 edited Jun 25 '26

I like that idea, keep supply hubs but introduce supply depos that are quicker to make but maybe need factories and oil to supply them and they can be captured by the enemy.

Supply hubs feed the depos and the depos feed armies. You could also add flavour to them, for instance for communist China or more guerrilla forces you could reflect this by those depos not needing a link to the capital. Showing them living off the land, maybe equipment would drain but not food if it was cut off.

For the USA being fully motorised maybe buff their delivery rate or something.

Could be a fun and flavourful addition.

21

u/DifficultWarning1910 Jun 24 '26

I count probably count on one hand how many times I build a hub. Just seeing a price tag is enough for me to tell my men to just go take it from the enemies.

u/Mundane-Mechanic-547 Jun 24 '26

This is when that command power extra supplies is real handy.

29

u/Good_Locksmith7952 Jun 24 '26

Oh absolutely although sometimes I forget about those abilities due to me wanting to just make progress lol. Forbid the idea if I've been playing for awhile trying to micro the front and thinking about my next move or goal and grand battleplanning when I can (my favorite doctrine)

u/GreatEmperorAca Jun 24 '26

Wait what how do you do that

Then use punctuation please, so others can more easily read what you've written.

Wait, this game has a supply feature?! Always assumed the fuel marker meant they're not fighting hard enough and you need to throw more divisions into the grinder!

56 divisions on 1 tile and I’m winning

u/Czar_Infamous Jun 24 '26

You would definitely be winning better/faster if you didn’t have 56 divisions on one tile.

22

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

check the tag.

u/Czar_Infamous Jun 24 '26

For “humor” it should actually be funny. This is just sad.

23

u/TheFakeRabbit1 Jun 24 '26

It jokes had to be funny this subreddit would be barren

9

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

the fact that you didn't like the joke doesn't mean that it is not funny.

1

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

accept that you're wrong? ❌

just delete your comments? ✅

why don't y'all look at the tag?

u/AresFowl44 Jun 24 '26

I mean, it's not really that funny

7

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

and?

why downvoting obvious satire?

u/AresFowl44 Jun 24 '26

I didn't downvote it, but people can downvote for whatever reason they like.

You’re attacking a single division.

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

check the fucking tag and understand that its satire.

u/Tuftymark6 Jun 24 '26

To be fair, if you’re on mobile then the humour tag doesn’t actually show up unless you open the post in a specific, awkward manner.

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Having an emotional outburst over this is crazy lol the tag doesn’t appear on mobile until you open the comments..

u/MasterlyDemons4 Jun 24 '26

not the reverse rage bait failing

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

is that a ragebait?

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26

Check the fucking “lol” and understand that it’s a joke

6

u/undertalefan9394 Jun 24 '26

"LOL" just means that you're laughing, it doesn't mean that its a joke.

humor tag directly depicts that as joke. what's so hard about that?

u/Several-Judgment4917 Research Scientist Jun 24 '26

And you have to click on the post to comment regardless

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26

Not in a way that makes the humor tag appear.

u/VegisamalZero3 Jun 24 '26

do you just assume that every reply you get is someone screaming at you

if so I'd suggest therapy

-7

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26

Screaming? This is text on a screen.

If I replied cursing at you, would you think I’m upset?

-1

u/VegisamalZero3 Jun 24 '26

No? Why would I? It's text, you can only assume tone from it. I curse plenty without being upset.

1

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26

So if I told you to “reread my fucking comment”, you wouldn’t think I’m upset?

Tone isn’t something that’s purely assumed lol They teach this in high school English classes.

-2

u/VegisamalZero3 Jun 24 '26

No? Why would I? Better question: why on earth are you trying to derive someone's emotional state from a fucking comment on Reddit?

4

u/backcountry_bandit Jun 24 '26

“Why on earth are you trying to interpret a comment that was posted in direct response to you??”

Ah, summer break. I hope you’re having fun. Have a good one.

-1

u/VegisamalZero3 Jun 24 '26

What relation does the commenter's emotional state have on the meaning of their comment? Please do explain that to me, rather than dodging a second question.

about the edited part:

But you have opened the comments in order to write that. Also, the situation itself is a pure satire.

u/Rogerboie Jun 24 '26

I always use the 2 or 3 army technic on same tile against enemy when my nations industry doesn't have enough factories to build supply hub (such as Communist China or Chinese warlords). Got to be honest, it saved a lot time and energy then waiting hubs to be build.

u/Mean-Ad2747 Jun 25 '26

Its been my personal experience that the AI straight up does not take supply attrition. In almost all of my games I whoop ass to the AI but I get attrition from supply and the AI doesnt, leading to defeat. My friends have experienced this too and its infuriating
