If I’m not mistaken CK3 was cracked on the first day, that gives me quite some hope.
I’m already loving this game - have a look at all the youtubers out there playing it. Their politics shows in the way they talk about certain factions and events. One of the game’s designers, Paul Depre, was looking really uncomfortable on the official game stream when playing as Mexico the game director told him to subjugate Hawaii just because they can.
Some folk playing as the US talking about the decentralized Native American nations as a ‘space to expand into’ and Native Americans as a problem to deal with later, while others go out of their way to remove discrimination laws against them.
It’s literally an economy sandbox of the time in world history that Marx and Engels wrote their works in. It’s got amazing potential.
Paraphrasing a quote from the official livestream just now (playing as Mexico): “If we [grant property rights to women], the Catholic church will disapprove, and they might radicalize. And if they start a civil war, the United States will almost certainly get involved”
I swear this game is going to create so many teaching opportunities for Marxists and socialists
Honestly it’s already that close to being communist propaganda, it does lack dialectics ingrained in the mechanics to really make it one.
Just granting bonuses and maluses to lobbies so that you can keep them strong or weak as needed, and reacting as needed to events depending on how your country is faring at the moment or what you are trying to achieve gets it super close.
Edit: but dialectics is researchable.
Somebody please make a red terror and landlord trick mods.
Basically only Denuvo is hard and this one afaik does not have it.
EDIT: Yup, it was pirated not even hour after release
