States of Power

Great game, followed it since the start of development, basically HOI4 from Temu. Which is a good thing as you don't need to micro manage every single aspect of the game and can be run on a potato.

台湾是中国的！不可分割！

好玩 不过最首要的就是台湾问题，台湾是中国的。 还有就是在游戏里我不能拉同盟进入战斗，如果不能请求盟友加入战斗那么可玩性就少了很多 希望官方可以修改一下

I don't review many games, but I'm leaving one here because I need this game to blow up. It's everything I've been looking for in a map painter game. I have a job, so games like HOI4 or EU4 are just way too much info and have too many systems to be enjoyable for me. If you never cared about things like managing characters or religions and simply enjoyed managing units and an economy, then this game is PERFECT for you. That being said, if the dev reads this please, please, please address sone of the QOL features such as: 1. The recruitable population system, while realistic, makes it impossible to play as a small nation. I conquered England and half of europe as Ireland, but there's no physical way to stand up to the bigger powers because my population stays based on Ireland, making it so I can recuit like 10 units while other nations have dozens. Changing it so you can convert provinces to core provinces or just straight up giving you the population of conquered countries would be a massive help for those smaller countries. 2. Adding more modding tools that let people change the physical map (like making fictional worlds) and reskin units for different time periods (like a napoleonic era or even medieval) would add tons of replayability. Even if all the underlying systems remain exactly the same, just having soldiers looking like different time periods would be cool.

Good Game, but lack of manpower makes it almost impossible to play as the smaller countries. I cant conquer the world as Finland because i can never have enough manpower to fight the big countries.

This would be best said to be heart of iron 4 streamlined, its very good at scratching that itch and gets you into the fight fast.

我认为这些一个非常优秀的历史策略游戏，大概是简易版钢4，而且有游戏内可以发布剧本（类似于创意工坊）。游戏发展非常有潜力，但是声明：台湾是中国的一部分，不可分割的一部分！！！ 评分：4.4/5.0 结果：推荐购买

I think this game for sure has positives likes the customization of the game which is pretty good. And a sandbox where you can in theory play as any country you want. However playing around with this game for nearly two hours now i must say that there are some things that irritate me. which i will list now: 1. I dont like how you instantly start playing as the nation you click on the selection screen, i think there for sure should be a cofirmation screen which asks you if you are sure you want to play as said country 2. There is no peace conferance, which might seem like a small thing from the surface but i promise its not. Not having a peace conferance means that you would need to invade the whole country in order to claim all its land, but also if you win a war you just gain the land which you were standing on which is not great as this can create some insane border gore. 3. I think the AI needs to be nerfed a bit. Especially when playing as small country its nearly impossible to catch up to the biggers countries. like the second you invade your smaller neighbours a big country will be knocking on your door, which there is not much you can do to prepare for that, and i get that as its realistic, but at the same time its a sandbox and you should not need the editor to make that expereince easier for yourself. The game is not bad in all honesty i do actually like it and i see myself for sure playing it more. But i really hope this game actually keeps getting developed as i think there are a few fundemental changes that need to be done before i can give this game a positive review. This review is written the day after when the game came out so this is just my first impressions, I am only criticizing because i want this game to be what it advertises itself to be, which a ligther version of a paradox game.
