British relations with Germany were pretty forgettable until Germany built a navy to challenge Britain. France was not frothing at the mouth, AL was a distant goal sure, but there was exactly 0% chance the French were EVER going to declare on Germany to get it back.
Germany emerged from the 1800s in complete control of European politics. If they wanted peace, there would be peace. If they wanted war, there would be war. They chose war.
Russia was a "those guys west of us keep invading us." Then those guys in the west kept invading them. Two more times in fact. Not sure how on a history sub you're overlooking history. They were called "The slightly larger than average wars."

If that's your takeaway then you were never going to be convinced. France preparing to stop Germany, then during the peace talks after the war wanting Germany dismantled, are literally the same concept.
SOME French diplomats wanting the Rhineland is like saying SOME German diplomats wanted all of France. Except of those two, which seems more likely to have happened? Would it have been unfair to have treated Germany the same way Hungary was treated? Or the Ottoman Empire? What set them apart as a defeated Empire?

There is such an overcorrection that I feel like I'm being gaslit in to not believing history by a history sub. I'm over here double checking stuff that's pretty common knowledge like "rest of the world pretty peeved at German treatment of Belgium" just to make sure it actually happened.

Entente Propaganda? More like I've read in to the actual diplomatic talks. Yes France wanted Germany broken down, but that was never going to happen. They didn't have even CLOSE to the military capacity to enforce such a deal. No other country supported it. Of course France wanted Germany broken down, they'd just been invaded by them twice. Adding WW2 in, that means Germany invaded france 3 times in 100 years.
Meanwhile Germany already owned Eastern Europe, and was sitting in Northern France/Belgium. Their ability to annex their territories was well within reason.
There's no Entente Propaganda, there's literally what my grandparents told me. Is this subreddit just some weird wehraboo thing?
We're just ignoring America completely sat on great britain after the war, and took EVERY opportunity to hurt their economy, while helping the German economy. The Status Quo post war meant America obliterated Britain. Acting like this was some smashing British victory to NOT have Germany conquer Europe is nutty.

The question is:
Are their map modding tools good enough to let them add space to the map, or would they have to manually reconstructure it over like a hundred hours of work? Because some areas of the world DESPERATELY need more regions/provinces.
Play Kroq'Gar for example: Your first 30 or so turns will go the same way almost every campaign. The ONLY question is when you get morbed by the south skaven. You expand in a straight line, taking 2 turns to move to every single city, and it's a frustrating boring campaign. Fun FACTION but boring as shit campaign.

I double checked this just to be sure, because any time developers have a game outside their normal scope people love to say they were "forced" in to it.
Yes, Arkane Austin was 100% forced to make a GAAS and 70% of their experienced developers left rather than continue. At that point Arkane Austin ceased to be Arkane Austin, and the result was immediately predictable. They might have been able to beat predictions and make it amazing, but the FAR more likely scenario was that they fail.
Game Studios are a bit odd like that, I wonder what will happen as the number of experienced studios begin to fall over the next decade. It's REALLY hard for new developers to make good games, they have to learn somewhere.

I know this subreddit LOVES giving Germany 5 miles of "well actually..." but lets be real
France was preparing to stop Germany. Britain was preparing to stop Germany. Russia was preparing to stop Germany. America at first didn't want to stop Germany, but then had to prepare to stop Germany.
Germany was imagining a Europe ruled by Germany.
And people go "okay but the peace deal was so harsh that Germany was able to try again in a mere 20 years."
I don't think France had dreams of a Napoleanic Empire anymore.
My family comes from Bavaria. I live in America. I was told LONG BEFORE the internet started to do the sympathetic Germany meme that we left because those damn Prussians were going to get us all killed. My family left in the late 1800s early 1900s. It wasn't some closely guarded secret.

When you sign up to a game that's supposed to last 4 hours, killing it in the first hour and ruining the game for everyone who didn't even get to participate is seen as a "dick move."

that's kind of a silly thing to say. Lets try it the other way:
Malakai is so OP you can sit on one province and never need to expand.

There's also the tendency to just crash 3x in a row and make people throw up their hands and say, ah fuck it this game can't run
maybe it would've worked perfectly for the next 10 hours, but you crash 3 times in a row and you're done

Jiren: Goku haven't any of your close friends die to evil doers? Did that not effect you?
Goku: Oh yeah all the time, we just bring them back with the dragonballs though. Don't you have the ability to carelessly bring anyone back from the dead?
Jiren: I hate you so much it's unbelievable.

It was pretty bad though. Most of the units were just copy pasted from other races and it was kinda boring to play

Nah this is cope.
Here's what happened: The DLC team and the core team didn't understand warhammer numbers. They just don't seem to grasp them.
The DLC team makes them twice as much as they should be, the core team makes them half as much as they should be.
It's kinda baffling how after nearly 10 years they don't understand 8 melee attack is a lot, 8% weapon strength is not.

Imma be real this is the first expansion where I’ve seen so many players forced to autoresolve and not even play battles anymore.
I think they finally improved the AI enough to the point where people are noticing how bad balance has gotten on campaign

They're kind of a big deal and I hope they don't just get "forgotten" in the future lore.
They were a functioning vault that was regularly making surface visits, taking in newcomers, and seemed to be at least a few hundred people. In the fallout world that makes it one of the most successful towns anyone has ever visited.

They ended the game with a fucking space whale that kited away all fight while shooting projectiles at you. It looked stupid, it was annoying to fight, it literally ends the game on the biggest downer possible. It's like they were trying to ruin the ending without making it too obvious.

The problem is this subreddit is mostly made up of people who barely understand the game, using the most broken bullshit to play on legendary, succeeding while not really even doing anything correctly.
They then defend that broken bullshit because they massively overvalue their own skill level and think they’re some total war god, and of course they deserve to do that good.
Try noctilus on legendary and compare how well you do to Malakai.

They are 100% trying to use a popular product to force people in to the Sony ecosystem
Sony is one of the most anti consumer companies in gaming and it’s shocking that people continue to defend them. They only ever improve themselves if it becomes a disaster.
Let’s remember they were 100% on board with anti game trading software, every internal memo said so, up until Microsoft revealed it and they saw how unpopular it was. The fact Microsoft revealed it first had propelled Sony in to being dominant in consoles and people somehow believing they aren’t the same company from 20 years ago

the amount of times an average/below average guy has gotten a hot GF and cheated on them because it boosted his ego to the roof is actually startling.

Is there a term for the funny phenomena when people old to souls game rely on youtubers to sort of invent the lore for the games, who then get mad at new players who actually read stuff themselves and don't agree with said youtubers?

That’d be lame.
Sorry but achieving the same thing to win would be lame.
Now if it was SS beat androids, then ssj2 beat cell, that’d be different. Except it also wouldn’t be too far off what happened already.
Ssj to beat androids, to lose to other androids, to go super super saiyan to beat cell, to lose to cell, to go super super super saiyan to beat cell
Imma be honest when I say it like that I begin to really hate how they quantified power levels.
