Can you enter the park with a vacuum flask?

I heard the food in the park is expensive and crap, so I thought of bringing hot water in a vacuum flask and liofilized food. That's doable or will xray security in the entrance bar such an item?

Annoying echo

So I got my first acoustic guitar as a present. For chords its ok. But for single notes, after I play a note, the previous sound remains ringing like in a echo, even if I play again the same string for a different note, and it annoys me. That's not how its supposed to be, right? It only stops if I touch all strings, because the sound seems to be resonating between the guitar body and all strings. I don't think it is normal as in recordings I don't see people touching all strings to stop annoying echos.

I can't find anything in this forum, somehow, so I guess it isn't a common problem. I guess it is crappy steel strings which came with it. I plan on switching to D'Addario EJ27N. Mostly because the think steel strings are insanely painful to play. Anyway, any enlightment appreciated.

ETF polski i podatek Belki

Witam, jak to działa w Polsce jeśli chodzi o ETF polski z polskimi akcjiami? Czy pomiędzy ETF a akcja jest pobrany 19% od dywidendy? A potem kolejny raz 19% jeśli ETF płaci ci dywidendy?

Za nim mówicie że to absurd, w prawie każdy kraj europejski tak jest, można zobaczyć na yearly report i ETFy płacą 15% podatek od dywidenda od niemiecki, szwajcarski, francuski, etc, akcje. Za to 0% od akcje z Anglii.

Do the DLC make ai countries follow a more historical path?

I'm particularly interested in "National Awakening", will it cause the balkans AI to revolt against the ottomans? I don't have the DLC and the balkans never seem to revolt. Will it cause Austria to be more stable? In my games it is always imploding.

Similarly, will "Pivot of Empires" cause the UK to lose India? Also saw this in a timelapse, but in my games never happens.

"Iberian Twilight" changes ai Iberia somehow? Etc, thanks

I didn't understand army, now I don't understand navy

I saw a number of videos, and everyone was saying: Ah, build only capitals! The rule the waves. Torpedoes are useless.

And for quite a while, I did just that. The very latest capitals. Ship-of-the-line is just useless vs Early Ironclad. I was able to confirm this, and a fleet with only Ironclads was pretty good. So I extended this and in the late game decided to go all-in on only Pre-Dreadnaughts.

And ... my fleet was crushed by a british fleet with ironclads and torpedo boats! Ok, maybe torpedoes rule the waves? Did they change naval balance in yesterday's patch? Ok, so I put a lot of "Torpedo Boat Destroyers" together with the Pre-Dreadnaught. I'm now fighting the Ottomans. They are doing Supply raid, I'm doing Supply protection. Their admiral has a bonus to Supply Raid, but mine has bonus to supply protection.

And .... 6 Pre-Dreadnaughts+11 Destroyers were defeated by a fleet of 1 Early Ironclad + 4 Iron Frigates. Come on!!! Like WTF is going on? Pre-Dreadnaught is the worse ship ever?

I mean, the theory is that newer capitals are invincible. But round after round of enemy ships score "criticals" against my Pre-Dreadnaught!

What the hell did I do wrong? I should add Cruisers? Why? Maybe even only cruisers if Pre-Dreadnaught is so bad!?!?!?

I don't have Great Wave, so design is irrelevant (and anyway people were saying everyone would design the same meta designs anyway).

Rebels cheat or I don't understand battles?

Some people say rebels cheat on supply. Some people say they don't. Whatever it is, they are surely hard to defeat. So I started up debug mode, and I can only conclude I have no idea what is going on:

Theory

* The rebel army is in Brittany.
* It has no local weapons production
* It is blockaded with 100% efficiency on 2 places
* The army has defense 16
* It is assigned to a HQ with a supply building with an Army Logistics Center lacking ammo, opium, iron. All the rest is very expensive.
* Rebel armies have organization 51% due to low supply
* Rebel armies use Skirmish Inf which is expensive in terms of supplies
* My armies have organization 100% due to good supply
* My army has attack 20 in theory due to lots of irregulars

Practice

* During battle the rebel army has defense 48(!) and wins the battle vs my weak 38 Attack
* In the UI, I only see a +10% defense modified for the rebels, I see nothing which would explain the huge discrepancy in their defense just doubling out of nowhere
* My army has attack 40 in battle, up from 20, no idea why, I see no modifiers which would explain that

Conclusion:

No conclusion at all, my attack is 2x the theoretical one, but the rebel defense is 3x the theoretical one. If rebels cheat, I also cheat, just less?

But I still think rebels cheat, because in a similar situation, I saw low-supply armies crumble vs rebels, but never the opposite.

Vic2 and historical events

Hi, I enjoyed Vic3, so I'm curious how Vic2 would play. Before buying, I wanted to check a few basics.

One thing that caught my attention is that there doesn't seem to be a lot of historical events. For example Brazil has 4 events/decisions? https://vic2.paradoxwikis.com/Brazil

France has a larger list, but most seem to be inconsequential. There is nothing in the Orleanist/Napoleon3 dispute for example. I didn't see anything about the invasion of Mexico.

Do I get right that it is largely sandboxy, without much content about historical events?

Also, I see some people posting large battles. Armies are supposed to be spread-out like hoi4, or go in death-stacks? Any good army composition?

Any noob pitfalls to be aware of?

People will revolt all the time like in Vic3?

thanks,

AZ-400 sample questions are filled with obsolete questions?

Hi, I'm preparing for AZ-400, so like always I started with some sample questions. But, the questions are filled with obsolete stuff, for example an extension called "WhiteSource Bolt service" which doesn't seem to exist anymore. Yeoman which is for FE code only. Tiller, which isn't used anymore AFAIK. etc, etc, etc. So the sample questions are largely obsolete crap, or do they still ask about old 3rd party libraries? Or maybe just topic 1 is like that?

My game is doomed?

lol, just tell me what to do. It seems nothing I ever do makes me avoid doom in this game. What I tried:

1> Ah, the "construction loop" people are talking about is a scam. I built wood, iron, construction. Utterly pointless. All these generate just debt, which I can't repay. "Debt doesn't matter" people say. Building construction is pointless because I haven't had any money to build anything in the last 20 years anyway. And I need to pay 55k interest

2> Improving SoL: another money pit. It doesn't seem to matter, because apparently once they are pissed and radical, they never de-radicalise. I might as well do nothing and wait it out.

3> Passing laws. Despite the fact that nearly each possible law change I could come up with just leads to 1 or another group starting a civil war, it doesn't seem to make any difference. The groups are barely happier. The activist political groups are pissed no matter what it seems.

4> Bankrupcy. Leads to people being even more unhappy, radicals increasing to 15M, turmoil in every possible state. Again I cannot build anything because I'm again in the red.

5> Do nothing: Already did nothing for 10 years, the debt still piles up.

6> Privatise -> Stupid capitalists won't buy trash I built like wheat farms (because some posts said I should lower the price of stuff poor people buy, which was a waste of money). Sure they will buy good productive stuff, but screw them if that's how they will deal with me.

7> High Taxes -> Another dead end. Taxes are per-capita, so high taxes largely ruins the poor. They get even more pissed. Turmoil. Lower tax revenue. I tried moving away from Wealth Tax to see if this would give support to pass Proportional Tax and tax the rich instead of the poor, but nope. No one in the country seems to care about Proportional Tax, 0% chance.

8> Positivists. Like what the hell. I only heard good stuff about this, but positivists in the game are .... fanatical despotical pro-dictatorship? They seem to hate any good change I could come up with and start a civil war. I was already used to the Liberals, Radicals, Orleanists and what not revolting. But the Positivists?

9> Disband armies: Seems to yield peanuts, unless I cut like half of it and have an army smaller than Ottomans or Egypt.

Summing up: There is no way to recover? I'm post doom?

Even if I somehow get to +20k, that's peanuts, I'll never repay the insane debt, and any kind of event or whatever issue I have, and I'm in the red again. Not to mention I can't ever build anything, or build a navy or go to war.

It seems like the only way to play France would be to avoid any debt at all.

I don't want to go back even earlier in time, because it took me forever to finally "cement napoleon", which was largely achieved by ... doing nothing, since anything I do pisses people off.

Playing as France, the UK wants Vietnam in 1942

So I'm doing a roleplay france napoleon III run. I read in wikipedia France puppeted Vietnam in lik 1958 so I'm like: Ah, I've got plenty of time. Unless the perfidious albion gets there first! Like 16 years earlier I mean...

So, will this permanently ruin my economy in the future (because I won't be able to get rubber), or can I just source all the rubber I need in the future from those west african colonies we can get?

And if Vietnam is a must have, how do I even get to it then? Because I have 0 tier interest, and I saw I can use improve relations, but I improved with Russia for ages and the interest tier is only 1, while Make Protectorate needs tier 2!

If they refuse, then I need to naval invade them?

1> Can I even do this without any base remotely close to them?
2> I move my troops to Reunion and invade from there?
3> There is no supply limits in this game?
4> I invade with 42 divisions? How to calculate how many ships I need to transport that? This game as transport ships or cruisers carry troops?

Can I avoid this revolution?

I guess I'm doomed? I wanted to cement Bonapart. I have no idea what I did wrong, I am panic building in Paris since a while to decrease unemployment and it worked, but radicals keep increasing. I started National Supremacy because the Petit Burgoise asked for it. Thought people would like me more. But there seems to be no way to make the baguette eaters happy???

How to create a small arms industry in Brazil?

So, I started a tutorial with Brazil instead of Sweden. wow, right out of the bat I'm apparently in war on 2 fronts at the same time, with stuff I'm not aware were countries.

1> I guess the game represents separatists / revolts as countries?

2> Why there is no battle if my troops are apparently ordered to advance (despite this being suicidal since they are outnumbered)? I guess the battle will eventually start? I'm not even sure if I'm at war, or war is a process which is starting and will eventually fully start.

3> Anyway, to the main topic. I recruited a lot of additional troops. They require small arms. Me thinks, maybe I should build more small arms since they cost like +45%? I go to São Paulo expand my small arms building and .... I can't. There are not enough Machinists.

And there is no clear way how to get more? A tooltip says I don't have enough because of Literacy with something to click on. This leads to a screen Politics->Institutions where ... I see no way to improve literacy.

So, there is no way to get more machinists in a backwater like Brazil? Any ideas? thanks

Same train sold as Proximidad & Media Distancia

Like, exactly the same from and to stations. Neither option seems to give a choice of seat ... what's the difference? Why would anyone buy the more expensive "Media Distancia"? Is it really the same train with no difference just one cheaper and one more expensive?

So, I'm playing a soviet historical role-play game on veteral. I think my production isn't that bad. I have 150 CIC, 136 MILs, 1k.5 fighters, tons of AA, medium tanks, heavy tanks, etc. I guess I under produced guns as I have only 20 MILs on that which isn't enough to recover from my loses.

Basically the germans cut just above Zakharpatia like a knife through butter. They can't take the mountains, but just above it, they just blitz through. I start retreating the west-most tiles, but by the time they reach the next tile, that one is already in danger too. Again and again until I get huge piles of troops in a few tiles and end up with 20+ divisions surrounded.

For infantry I'm using: 9inf + support aa + support art, I have 124 of those "holding" (not really holding it turns out) the line

Tanks are a work in progress as I wanted to save army xp for doctrines. I now see this was a mistake. I wanted to avoid wasting mastery...

My only troops performing decently are the mountaineers, but they are too few to make a difference.

In the baltics, the germans basically aren't advancing at all, and in Belarus I can stabilise once they reach the Marshes. Its just Ukraine which is such a PITA.

I tried putting huge stacks of 6 infantry divisions (9x0 as the rest) to stop them, but it seems like my units are de-organized very quickly and can't even reinforce in time to prevent a defeat. I have no idea why, since I have Radio 2. That used to be enough to reinforce. There is no way to cycle units since there isn't enough time to regain org until the units behind are under attack.

I think the cause is basically their CAS destroying my units, because they put everything in the center air tile, and in the Baltics without air support they can't advance.

Anyway, I'm happy since I wanted a challenge, and I want to be forced to retreat all the way to Stalingrad. But .... I'm getting massacred and I think I won't be able to hold Stalingrad either since after deploying some barely trained divisions to stop their breakthrough, it has basically no effect. 3 such green inf divisions can't hold against just 1 german inf division! I thought I'll deploy motorised, but it just retreats even slower when its without fuel.

Any ideas on how to make an orderly retreat under CAS? I'm thinking of going back a few months and adding line AA to all infantry. Maybe recon on all troops for speed? There has gotta be a way which isn't the cheesy just put the troops behind the river and let them close in without anyone defending the border.

Many years ago when I last played, the germans couldn't advance 1 tile, so I'm really surprised... I think the CAS buff really is suiting them.

My best ideas so far are: Scorched earth (but won't this slow down my retreat? I also never used it before), more AA, maybe put the fighters on interception instead of air superiority?

There are no battle plans because I had to cancel them as the AI was frenetically moving troops into the salients...

What amazes me the most is last time I played Germany it was pretty hard to encircle the soviets. I guess I play worse than the AI /s

Playing as the soviets, I last played years ago and it was a given, and now out of the blue it no longer happens. I guess because I don't have NSNC? Anyone else experiencing this or it is just bad luck and it still happens (most of the time at least)?

I think it gave some nice bonuses...

Hi, I'm just starting. The package says you should mix it with water and drink immediately. But is that really what people do? I was thinking of just letting it rest a while before drinking. After a while it obtains a gelatinous consistence. Or to get the desired effect you need to really drink immediately because part of the effect is the thing expanding in your stomach?
