I love how el generico has a different suit depending on the ideology but like it’s still the same guy. It’s the brown suit that makes him fascist

[@ellig63]

It's one of the main reasons I don't buy that particular DLC

[@MalevolentSpirit234]

To be honest, it was a little weird for just any minor country (like Bhutan) to stage a coup in a country as major as USSR (which had the NKVD) or USA (which had the FBI). I remember playing with that and just cringed every time it worked. The new Spy system is also legitimately amazing, you can literally bend countries to your knees without a single war, consistently root out resistance during wars, and build intelligence networks in areas you are going to attack... Now that I have La Resistance, I will never go back to that barebones intelligence system.

Honestly I can only remember the game at launch more fondly than how it ended up. Some of the quality of life features were pretty nice, like the factories, but as I didn't feel inclined to get the DLC the game seemed to take a hit with each one until I eventually just didn't feel like playing anymore. I particularly remember Man the Guns making me never want to touch naval things (or any nation involved with them) with a 10 foot pole ever again.
