You made that joke, because you felt that way. You don't make that joke every time you see a post of mine. And you then followed up with yet another post to the same effect. And your last 2 posts ITT are asking people to not talk about Victoria 3, in the Victoria 3 thread.
Their failure to learn from Imperator's failure is pretty staggering.
I have watched several streams of the game, multiple reviews, gameplay vids, etc.
Main thing is to open up the drop down to look at individual units to see whether they are suffering penalties due to something or have less than their max regiment size. Otherwise if you have decent tech and generals (e.g. attack with a general who has an attack bonus), you'll win.
My favorite rage story was the guy who was trying to conquer China as Japan and his armies would attack any part of the front except the very tiny part the Chinese had gotten to before his army actually arrived which caused him to lose to ticking wargoal score even though he was winning every battle and had a vastly superior army.
Its not an intelligent criticism because you can trivially conquer the world barely paying attention to the economy. This is actually the kind of autistic ramblings about some dude's attempt to hyper-optimize the economy that will lead paradox to just tweak a few numbers to make the game even easier and call the game fixed. Meanwhile the much greater issues (like AI being useless or UI being dogshit like in Axioms post before you) go completely unaddressed and unresolved.
