What strategy games can I make a customizable character and take power through politics, scheme, assassination in a randomly generated country?

None, unfortunately.
Also, Rudolf did nothing wrong. The Empire was objectively a decent place to live compared to that Rebel shithole.
If only there were some game about Kings, perhaps set in Crusader times

Also where did you get the novel? Is the t/l good? Is the novel as much of an improvement on the OVA as one would assume? Is the entire series finished?
Novel is pretty easy to find on book pirate sites. Translation is okay but very clunky, not sure if it's the quality itself or being translated from Japanese, I haven't read other Japanese novels to compare. From what I've read (which isn't the full thing) it gives some nice extra details like how Greenhill was setting up Frederica and Yang from the get-go, but I personally prefer the OVA. Entire series has also been translated.
The spin-off novels are still untranslated though and some weren't adapted into ovas. Expanded universe, you know.

>Yang still mogs every Imperial Commander. Even Kircheis.
He absolutely did. And what did he do with his immense skill and talent? Absolutely nothing, except follow the orders of his "superiors" in the name of democracy.
However, the democratic leaders were all corrupt slimebags who rose to power because they controlled the media (or rather, the corporations that owned the media controlled who got elected). Remember when Yang was put on trial?
The actual competent men in the Alliance were the ones that rose through the ranks by merit, not popular vote. Noone elects admirals.
Yang could have pulled a forceful Cincinnatus, taken absolute control for five years, kicked out the corrupt bureaucrats and Terraists and then reformed the state into a working republic. He could have used his military skills to force a peace treaty with the Empire, and then retire as a hero with the FPA back in working order.
But he didn't, because he was a tool. Even the best tool in the world cannot wield itself
>Cincinnatus
Is a myth. You will get a hundred Caesars and Napoleons out of that before you get a Cincinnatus. And don't give me Washington, that's an entirely different set of circumstances.
>And don't give me a real life example because it turns my narrative into ribbons
My guy this is a world where Ping Pong Diplomacy and Henry VIII existed its far more probable a that a general with a cult of personality declines autocratic powers for the benefit of the nation
Ok, Cicero then. It doesn't matter, since i am just using them to illustrate the concept of a dictator that relinquishes his power voluntarily.
Most dictators don't. But Yang might, making his lack of ambition the exact reason why he would have been the perfect temporary dictator.
Yang justified his inaction by saying something like "if the people vote for their own demise, who am i to correct them?"
However he ignored the fact that the FPA was so broken, that the peoples' vote didn't really matter.
Trunicht might be a terrible leader, but ultimately the people wanted him in power. IIRC Trunicht even has a line where he talks about how the fact that someone like him could be elected is an argument against democracy itself. Yang probably should have ran for office on an anti-corruption platform, but it could easily be said that he was more valuable in the military.
Doesn't that argument go out of the window considering Trunich had his own secret police that beat up all his opponents?
>Yang probably should have ran for office on an anti-corruption platform
I've been saying this entire time that the FPA was far too corrupt to be changed through democratic means. Just like in our "democracies", the true elite cannot be voted out of power
>Yang probably should have ran for office on an anti-corruption platform
Nah, he would have been killed by Trunicht's goon squads. One of the few realistic ways to deal with this corruption shit was what Admiral Greenhill tried to pull off, unfortunately.
>One of the few realistic ways to deal with this corruption shit was what Admiral Greenhill tried to pull off, unfortunately.
Basically this, but that also means the spirit of their system dies. This is why when a democracy hits the Byzantine event horizon, there is no recovery, you can stall it, but either you are lucky enough to have a Caesar or your entire culture gets displaced by foreign invaders.
Yang couldn't have ran shit. While Yang is a great tactician he is useless at actual leadership, people skills and politicking. He is also marred by a deep cynicism, he can see the worst in everything yet he lacks the drive to truly take advantage of it. Yang is also entirely dependent on his clique soo much so he wouldn't be able to tell when someone is subverting him. If Yang went full dictator the result would be the same but extra steps. Yang is honestly fricked no matter what he would do even if he sided with the Coup or did nothing he would be getting rid off even if he defeated the golden boy. He should have just quit when he could. By being soo good but lacking in vision/drive/goals he is a retelling of Alexander and Belisarius put together.

No he was detached and fatalistic but ultimately right. A military dictatorship wouldn't have fixed the alliance. Reform has to come from the citizens, not the military. Look at what happened to Rome.
Well he choose the option that allowed him to have a clean legacy and ensured that the Empire won. Perhaps it's for the best, as the Empire will probably transition to a mixed system at least anyway, if he did step up he might have destroyed himself with guilt, though I think the original anon is at least correct that internalizing democracy usually means turning a blind eye to the immoral orders of politicians, who are treated as the "natural leadership" in such a system.
Yeah, the more I think about, Yang choosing to go down with the ship was the smartest thing he could have done. Him taking power would have created a shitty worse version of the Empire in the longest term, and the Republic was irredeemable in it's corruption nor able to reform.
Getting conquered by a foreign power that takes the best from their system, displaces their entire political class, and ignores their hand wringing was the best thing that could have happened to them, even with the bad blood there.
Good on Yang.
>Yang choosing to go down with the ship was the smartest thing he could have done
He didn't choose it though. It was his own dpersonal characteristics that allowed it to happen.
>I think the original anon is at least correct that internalizing democracy usually means turning a blind eye to the immoral orders of politicians
Being subservent to orders is an inherent part of the military. I guess if you have a military dictatorship there might be one person to whom that doesn't apply. But most authoritarian counties intentionally have shitty corrupt militaries because they ones in power don't want any serious challenge to their position.
It's a good point that very few games do political intigue in any interesting or interactive way. It's hard to build that sort of system compared to pew-pew battles I guess. Usually the politics in the Total War games is a bit of a joke. Even if it's good like in Three Kingdoms there isn't much scale to it. Not many games can model human social interactions well.
>He didn't choose it though. It was his own personal characteristics that allowed it to happen.
He subconsciously choose it. He always could have just stepped up and have instantly loyal followers snap into action, but he held back as the moments passed and time ran out.
That is a choice, even if he would not admit so.
>Reform has to come from the citizens, not the military.
there was grass roots movements to fix republics but were suppressed by both paramilitary and military junta and politician class
if not war with empire there might be a rebellion of citizens against current order
Also remember he studied history so he would have been well aware of the precedents.
Being fully aware of all possible consequences of his actions just makes him incredibly indecisive when it comes to taking initiative.
Interestingly for a skilled military commander with a Chinese name and an interest in history, this serves to illustrate Sun Tzu's ideas of a perfect general, showing what happens when an otherwise exceptional general lacks the will to disobey his leaders, even in pursuit of what is arguably the best interests of the Alliance.
Hm cool

Stop analyzing fiction based on the if the characters were real you child. The idea of Yang vs. Reinhart is an allegory for autocracy vs. Democracy, and that best case scenario autocracy is still trumped by worst case scenario democracy, and if the autocracy was truly humane and just then supposedly the ruler would want people to rule themselves so it would naturally become a democracy anyway.
>and just then supposedly the ruler would want people to rule themselves so it would naturally become a democracy anyway.
Lmao, people are fricking moronic. A just ruler wouldn't let them hurt themselves too much.
>but le evil paternalism and muh freedom
Freedom requires the ability to understand the consequences of your actions, something that most of everyone lacks (I am not talking about simple education but actual mental ability). For an easy example, see governments everywhere forcing their citizens to save for retirement because Mr. & Mrs. dumb-dumb are literally incapable of visualizing themselves and their needs into the future.
I didn't say I agree with it morons
>Muh democracy is good
I don't recall an Athenian being any freer than a Spartan or Syracusan. The form of government has no bearing on the rights of the individual. Democracies vote for less rights all the time. Look at how the right to protest and free assembly got destroyed by the Coof in most of the supposedly free and democratic world.
A powerful Autocrat can be a source of freedom simply by not being as easily bought out by interest groups. But even that is more of an argument about power centralization than how power is distributed.
The reality is that the only way to increase the chances of a free society is to make the people less reliant on the government and fully able to exert force by arming the populace, which has no bearing on democracies as an armed population is very good at deterring invaders and plenty of autocracies have done that. Even that is a temporary solution as prosperity and ample peace time will make it soo being armed won't be necessary anymore and the government can bribe the people with luxuries.

Let's be honest, the first two were fulfilled by the serfs themselves and some of the time the lords were like bandits themselves.
In truth, you can write up whatever ideology or system you want. Be it Socialism, Capitalism, Feudalism or whatever. It's always going to do degrade because of the human condition and... ehm... you know... Holobunga tribe.

Crusader kings 2 is pretty good with a politics mod, I forgot the name of the mod though I haven't played it in forever. You can also randomize by counties, d, and kingdoms.

>Not one game where you can control a single individual or faction in a space empire scheming their way to control of the galaxy by amassing power through dubious and elaborate means
I can't stand Stellaris for this exact reason. There's no internal conflict outside of events, and external conflict consists of taking territory from your opponent, you can't cripple them economically, can't change their form of government, can't meddle in their own internal conflicts because there aren't any, nothing. Just throwing fleets at each other until one side gives up.

>eraTohoK
wat
it is a bit of a rabbit hole, but basically there is a series of text based games that all use the same engine and most people use the suffix era to denote that. You can google it to find out more, but basically TohoK is in the vein of old JP strategy games like ROTK or Nobunaga's ambition, but set in the touhou universe and with very explicit porn elements. For a porn game it is surprisingly in depth and due to a relationship system and characters being officers, you can end up with rather convoluted situations where your own allies betray you, you can sneak up and abduct people in the middle of the night, and even assassinate leaders. It is a bit simplistic when you get to the actual combat side of things, but the engine ends up making it more indepth on the political/diplomatic side than it has any right to be.

How about actual factual arguments instead of emotional chimpouts?
I wonder how a game would go about capturing the spirit of LOGH.
Something like Stellaris doesn't work because you are playing in an omniscient state and not as a character.
So, it would have to be something like Warband, but at the same time, it would have to do more logistic planning.
And you should able to see when your entire bridge is on fire and people are dying.
It might not even have to be in sci-fi setting.
Another thing is it shouldn't entirely be a life game because LOGH spends relatively little time in battles, but spends a lot of characters just chatting and living.
I guess it would have to be:
>Suzerain + Warband + Democracy + Crusader Kings
or just make Crusader Kings 2 but in space.
CK2 has similar omniscience as Stellaris and none of hands-on-appeal.
Would make a fun short mod
Sins of a Solar Empire for the space battles.
Chimpouts are way more fun-
more like these old KOEI RoTK where you could play as officer but in space
crusader kings but good
Play ttrpgs.
>thread turns into a logh thread
Holy kino. By the way, Reinhard was smart, but Oberstein was the real genius. The guy even let himself be killed at the end because he knew without Reinhard, everyone would try to get rid of him and that would bring instability to the nation, thus damaging what he worked so hard to achieve. It's rare to see media as based as this, I can't think of any other show that portrays authoritarianism and fascism in a good light.
turns into a logh thread
rule of Rosen Ritters: every thread containing LOGH image will derail into LOGH conversation
>I can't think of any other show that portrays authoritarianism and fascism in a good light
It's more of a neutral light, saying that Reinhard's empire is authoritarianism at its peak. The problem is that it is very likely doomed to fail and become the next Goldenbaum dynasty over time.
That is definitely one of the themes people misunderstand despite one of the movies starting off with a monologue about the rise and fall of civilization. For every strong ruler of noble character you will get dozens of rulers that are corrupt and weak.
I honestly like how it isn't as simple as "X system good, Y system bad" but rather "here is why these systems fail". On a deeper level too, the reason Yang failed and the Empire won in the end ties into history, in reality the competent good guy sometimes loses. Just look at one of the inpsiring works for LoGH, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Shu, and by extension Zhuge Liang, a very clear inspiration for Yang Wenli, were portrayed as just and noble, upholding many virtues of the day, yet in the end they were defeated.
meant to say "the kingdom of Shu".
Still, if you have a passing familiarity with the work beyond I played some modern Koei slop, there are some obvious inspirations.
Glad I'm not the only one that saw the similarities. If you look at the actual history, it's even more tragic. Zhuge Liang was one of the most virtuous and talented figures of his time, an incredibly fair minister, an adept tactician and was beloved by his people and repected by his enemies. However, he still failed, because the talents of one man are not enough to turn the tide. Meanwhile, Reinhardt is flawed, always getting btfo by Yang despite his own military talents. He's emotional and rash at times, but he also has a very good team of underlings and advisors that plug the holes in his own character and thus is able to succeed.

>trillions
isn't the galaxy population like 80 billion?
used to be like 400 billion or smth (or more) during Rudolfs time
he unironically reduced the population by 5x
Where was this stated and why and how did he do it?
Have you even watched the series?
It might be in the books. I don't know if the history episodes state it. I don't remember where it's from but I remember it being this fricked up. General population decline followed, but Rudolf unironically killed billions, like, dozens of billions.
The anime is very lax on actual data and good maps etc.
I read the wiki and it says the population decline happened due to straight-up killing, widespread sterilization and eugenics.
The number went down from 400 billion to 40 billion, after 500 years.
Rudolf basically committed hundreds of Hitlers in his lifetime, and his crimes against humanity allowed to the survivors to live very comfy rustic lifestyles.
So he's very convenient in that the Empire can blame all it's sins on him and take advantage of his depopulation in the same way people benefitted after the black death.

In terms of games you could try Star Dynasties but games cannot handle character perspectives. It has to be the eye of God guiding characters. You have to see everything your orders are always understood and immediately received and enacted. A game about a single person in a system is antithetical to how things are trending.
The Last Federation is nothing as what you are asking as it's a premade character but it does capture the spirit.

>assassins are a core part of a bunch of vanilla nations, and there are ways to give stealth+assassin to any of your commanders
That said, it's a clunky game made by two dudes and it's more of an army smashing and magic research rushing simulator than a careful balance of politics and diplomacy (or at least that's what my experience with /domg/ games has been so far, maybe other communities are better in this regard) but even then the roots of Diplomacy the boardgame are self evident in Dominions.

What does real-time with pause actually contribute?
literally nothing it's the baseline. turn based subtracts from that on the contrary.
It depends on implementation, but real-time tends to allow for more tactical depth because you have to balance limited time when making decisions.
You could also do a Paradox-style turn-based, where each "day" is a turn but is evaluated rapidly. That gives the granularity of real-time play while still giving the structure of turn-based.
Turn-based tends to thrive in games where you manage a lot of things (Civilization) or have to make very carefully calculated decisions (Diplomacy, Dominions). Would the game be like that? If so, then turn-based is fine.
Calling PDX games is kind of wrong.
I realize your point is that in their games, time cannot exist between two arbitrary time units (e.g. days), but the terminology for turn doesn't fit either because is like microturn.
And for sake of non-autist, it's 98% identical to other real time with pause games, and shares little DNA with turnbased games.
It's simple discrete vs continuous real time.
EU4 = discrete real-time with pause
Age of Empires = continuous real-time with pause
Civ = sequential turn
Diplomacy = simultaneous turn
>It's simple discrete vs continuous real time
That's a much better way to frame it, especially from a gameplay perspective.
>for sake of non-autist, it's 98% identical to other real time with pause games

I don't agree with either side. I'm just saying this is the moral of the story.
>democracies are still better because all people deserve to decide their own fates
Can you decide your own fate in a Democracy?
Democracy, like Marxism, sounds nice in theory but always devolves into tyranny. Communism turns Authoritarian, Democracy becomes Oligarchical.
The difference is that in a Democracy, the people do not see who actually rules them: it is not the guy with the red/blue tie, but instead the men who allowed you to have a choice between the guy with the red or the blue tie. I'm German, and let me tell you that adding more tie colours does not change a thing.
Democracy is perfidious like that and the parasites in power survive by turning brother against brother, all in accordance with the law.
Hierarchy and struggle are inherent not only to human society, but to life in general. All who deny it are liars.
The OVA did not reveal enough about Lohengramm's policies to actually classify him as a Third Positionist. I've not seen anyone pro-NatSoc flaunting Lohengramm as an example of it. Designating him as such seems like people screeching about any positive depiction of outwardly authoritarian government. The kind of people who say "literally Hitler" without irony

If all parallels between hitler and reinhart were listed it would be fair to say there are a lot of similarities. It doesn't have to be as explicit as having the same policies. Don't take it from me, the author himself said so
As for democracy vs. marxism vs. whatever else, I couldn't care less. All political ideologies and worldviews based on enlightenment thought and secularist laws can go to hell. I support strict Sharia based on classical orthodox jurisprudence.
MB that wasn't the author
but the point stands
Least typical German post. If you're not minding your μῦθος and Männerbund at all times you literally cannot be German.
Res publica est omnis divisa in partes tres: proletarii, patricii et mulieres.
Zivilisten bauen Gewehre und züchten Pferde, schmieden Schwerter, ernten Felder, unterhalten Frauen.
Offiziere herrschen, kämpfen, besitzen, und schlafen mit Frauen.
Frauen bringen neue Offiziere in die Welt.
Also chuds on 4chins side with reinhart because they're nazis who want a pretty blonde aryan dictator who will fix all their problems and make them "great again"

I hate you homosexuals so much, like you wouldn't believe.

I'm guessing it'll turn into /k/ in disguise next, discussing the legality of owning private battleships in a high trust society.
