As someone who has never paid attention to achievements. . . what is the point/benefit of doing them?

As someone who has never paid attention to achievements ... to each his own.

They give you ideas for playthroughs you might not have contemplated otherwise, and you get shiny icons for your Steam Profile.

You also have to play ironman, so there's no savescumming without shenanigans.

Thank you.

They also give you a upperhand on the ladies at the bar. Walking up to a woman in a bar and brag about your HOI4 achievements increases your chance of her want to have babies with you by 3.646373%. Or some other value. Mouse over her and read her tooltip for the exact value.

If only it were that easy.

I've found that the increase apparently causes integer overflow, so the entire operation fails.

I don't know, there might be some kind of signaling to be had if you casually slip in the price of the games + DLC .

Admittedly, to this point I've avoided trying to convince strangers or acquaintances that fascism is objectively the best government in the context of a WW2 game though.

Well, I have tried explaining why command economies are better than market economies in games to people before. Now my family thinks I'm a Red.

Haha, command economies are pretty good for the dictator in charge as long as he doesn't piss off too many people he relies on to run the country (into the ground). If IRL had game rule constraints rather than causal interactions maybe they'd be better IRL also. It's even more pronounced in EU 4 for example. In this game the "nation controller" will sac "bad rulers and heirs" in a blink of an eye, has no need to fear repercussion for replacing advisers or generals on merit, has total control of the entire military at all times, and has the economy simplified in a way that one person can trivially calculate an optimized outcome.

Let's see a dictator who offs himself because he sucks, or such a simple economic model work IRL . But in the game sense it's great, player decisions get to matter more.

While my immediate family only has one other consistent gamer, the rest do at least understand that different rules from reality = reasonably different conclusions made than reality. In that regard I'm fortunate.

Considering I actually just did Australia-Hungary inadvertently recently I'm a bit disappointed I didn't wait :/.

 

[Duke_Dave]

For Awake and Angry do I need to conquer China or will an event fire when I kick them out of the continent that gives me all those territories and ends the war?

 

[klinkvon13]

BTW, I am afraid these achievements are not doable before next release (restoring HRE, etc).

THIS! It's interesting when I am at work and other departments are complaining about not having enough people I casually tell them they should roll Fascist for manpower!
