I tried running the USSR...

  • That's right, today we try to stop the collapse of the USSR by taking control of it in Crisis in the Kremlin, a game that is part political simulator, part strategy game with the worst UI I've ever seen. Join me as I decide on how I want to run my country, influence the world and cause the fall of the USA. EU4, CK3, HOI4 and Democracy 4? This one puts them all to shame.

      Easiest path is to switch to mixed economy/titoism for a bit (basically doing a temporary NEP) with moderates and ligachev, invest on OGAS and then by the time OGAS will be ready switch to planned economy (basically end the NEP), it's a path I've done several times that always works quite well

    Oh, swell, a major youtuber doing a Kremlingames game! Crisis in the Kremlin is their oldest title, and probably the most obtuse but also the most open-ended. The UI has gradually got better with each new title, but is still kind of jank, and you can tell that English is very definitely not their first language. Still, these games have their charm to them. I never could figure this one out - I think you actually got much further than I did, despite allegedly having no idea what you were doing. :P
    7:37 - (insert obligatory comment about it collapsing due to revisionism)
    9:00 - fun fact, you can, in fact, be a cool bro and unilaterally agree to nuclear disarmament. NATO will be very happy to hear it.
    11:55 - you actually had the option to purge the people demanding the genetics scientists be purged. XD
    14:21 - you CAN, in fact, win global thermonuclear war in this game, under certain circumstances. :)

    Objective: Establish and maintain a dynasty that lasts for at least 10 generations.
    Rules:
    Start as a count-level character of your choice in any historical start date.
    Your chosen character must have no existing dynastic holdings or significant power.
    You cannot marry into established powerful dynasties or form alliances with them.
    No direct inheritances can be used to gain power, titles, or wealth.
    You must rely on intrigue, diplomacy, warfare, and vassal management to expand your influence.
    You must always play on Ironman mode to prevent save scumming.
    If your player character dies without a legitimate heir or loses all titles, the challenge ends.

  • @lukedufaur5368
    @lukedufaur5368 Год назад +1

    Many of Crisis in the Kremlin's game mechanics are obtuse and badly explained and need to be learned through trial and error. For example the amount of corruption generated by many investments, for example in industry, increases exponentially. Minimal corruption with 100 investments in light industry, minor with 160, unbearable with 200 for instance. Additionally increasing the investment by too much in one turn (except for turn 1 of the game) increases corruption massively. Corruption also increases corruption, so at high levels you death spiral and your economy will collapse irreversibly.
    There's a fun "exploit" you can do in this game with the Neocolonialism foreign policy, where you can generate massive sums of money in 1 turn by exploiting third world countries in your influence. This can then be invested into your own economy or as civil aid in other third world countries to prevent them from flipping to US influence. This is the most popular strategy for quickly defeating the US, as the US requires aligned countries in the third world to prevent it's indicators (economy, army, and population satisfaction) from dropping to zero. The only limiting factor is political power points.
