I suspect this will combine with abortion care to fundamentally separate healthcare systems in the US.

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 95 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Until conservatives once again use the federal goverment and supreme court to overrule states they don't like, just like what slave states did prior to the civil war.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Last time they did that it caused a civil war, so, you know... Here's hoping lol.

Great, I'm gonna have to change a lot of stuff in my horribly self indulgent commie fantasy revolution novel I'm writing. The existing blurb references a "Second American Civil War" that's supposed to be fictional...

They'll need to. Planned parenthood being defunded means 1/4 of abortion clinics are at risk of closing down

And gender affirming care.

I'm curious how much of an effect brain drain will have as time goes on. Why would a doctor choose to move to a place where practicing medicine might get them arrested?

West Coast Alliance is the Faction you play in the tutorial

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

The more I look at it it does feel like an RTS campaign map like a Total War Series.

The West Coast Alliance is easy mode as it only has to fight in one direction for nearly the whole game, you scoop up unaligned territory and your first real opponents New Mexico and Colorado are already fighting each other and small. Once you get to the Midwest the other 3 factions are large and duking it out and you know how to play the game.

New England is the moderate mode. Good defensive area but you have to Squash rebels and have two strong opponents in Florida and Illinois before matching the Western Alliance in terms of power.

Illinois and Florida are more hard game modes. A challenge but once you get certain territories you can lock in.

Colorado or New Mexico are the very hard challenge modes. Quickly Squash your neighbor, before the Western Alliance attacks, fight really hard to beat them only to have Florida or Ilinois nipping at you.

except in America: Vaccivil War you also have to fight against your own population that constantly wants to die from medieval diseases and will protest any attempt to build up infrastructure

West Coast Alliance will have a significant domestic terrorism problem that increases the closer it gets to the Rockies, though.

Minnesota will start out with Illinois. You take wisconsin ASAP to form a contiguous border, then work on Michigan.

West Wisconsin near the St. Croix River valley is deeply forested and quite hilly. It wouldn't be easy to take down

It's really funny new Hampshire doesn't join. They feel so out of place within their region.

Brother, you are understating it

Forces from New England need to squash the fifth column of libertarians there or their campaign will be hampered from the start

Yeah, I'm annoyed that Vermont didn't join, too. Too many Vermonters trust Phil Scott, and I'm guessing this was up to him.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Vermont made it in. They just didn't make it in time for the press announcement apparently lol.

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

Starting as the Illinois Khanate looks hard but once you've got the rest of the great lakes you're basically unstoppable.

First step of the balkanisation of the empire

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

is this a good or a bad thing

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Depends. If you're in one of the regions, less bad health advice so good. If you have money against balkanization slightly lowered payout odds, so bad.
