At this point I'm convinced that paradox is incapable of not filling their games with blatant socialist propaganda. EU5 is just as filled with it as Vic3.

This part makes sense though.

100% control does not mean 100% tax.

Maybe this is cope, but EU5 economy makes decent amount of sense if you stop thinking it as an exact, objective simulation of all economic activity, and instead being heavily filtered through a lens of an early modern government. It focuses on parts it can utilize/exploit and ignores what it can't.There should still be a system for province/location level elites and local wealth (like in MEIOU.) Paradox claimed they tried this but it supposedly made playing wide too strong. Which just sounds like they didn't implement all the issues that would result if you just let nobles run loose, starting from corruption (manageable, in a way just the EU4 autonomy but the money goes to elites and not empty void) and up to complete fragmentation of the empire when people stop pretending that some guy in the capital is in charge.

EUV, like all Paradox games other than V2 (and even that was pretty limited and flawed), does not have a simulated economy. It has a pseudo economy. Gameplay systems dressed up to feel like economies. Most video games that have "economies" do this because simulating an economy is insanely hard and also tends to be brutal on performance.

Is this a more subtle version of Robbie's insane MEDIEVAL GOMMUNISM campaign that turned out to be complete and utter bullshit?

Anon11/26/25, 12:16No.2263171
is that actually how it works or is this another case of people not understanding how it works like the complaints about regulars at launch? because even with no control pops still produce goods which means they can drive costs down even if you're not getting any taxes from them

Thank you Johan for adding control and making it easy to filter retards.

control is the best mechanic they have added in eu5
it's not perfect but it is ok and has great potential

If it’s anything it’s slav propaganda.
Bohemikanda is so stupidly overpowered it’s ruining my playthrough.
People kept promising me they would fall off later in the game but it’s almost the American revolution and landlocked Bohemia is a glaring bright spot on any of the map tools for literacy, income, development, any of it. It’s like they’ve an alien monolith fell in the center of the country and transported them 3 millennia ahead.As for the economy I think Vicki 3 was much better executed. All I ever do in this one is expand, build logging/paper mill/book printers. No matter how many I build it’s perpetually the most profitable despite requiring no unique inputs and no hard to get techs. I’m out have 800-1000 printers now across 30 counties and it’s still the best investment.

Makes absolute and perfect sense. You have no tax collectors there and you have nobody to enforce their entrance - the locals just tell you to fuck off. And the game is kind enough to allow you to send your armed troops and regain control post-haste (at the cost of the local economy, but 0% taxes from large sum is worse than 20% profit from a low sum)
>money taken from your pops through taxes is straight up multiplied by your tax efficiency
No, it isn't. Learn how tax system works, moron
>taxing your pops at 100% ends up making them pay ways more than their income into the state treasury
It also leaves them with nothing for consumption, so you are ruining your population with overtaxation and fucking your entire economy into complete oblivion within a decade or soDid you play this game for more than half hour? Or, more importantly, is your IQ above room temperature?
