It’s really something to see an area decline in your lifetime

Like the poster above,I’m from Romania,born after the fall of communism and I actively remember there being more people in my town when I was young (I’m still living here for the time being)

Now,to be fair,it’s a smaller town,less populated area,but both me and my mom who now works and practically lives in Norway can recall a time when there were more people in the city

When I was born we had almost 100k people,the biggest recorded population in our history,and now we’re at something below 65k,it’s really wild,I can recall the town being a little more lively,but now it’s not empty,but just…it feels like something is missing

The only thing “spooky” about this goober is the amount of Hitler particles he has

Big and Beautiful one

Wow big no prediction lead

“next generation” as if there will be elections for the next generations to take part in

No map made just yet,but you can check the CECs results by raion

https://pv.cec.md/

It’s automatically set first to “prezenta la vot” which is who voted,you wanna click the one above “rezultatele” which is the results

That’s more of a base game limitation

I think they made it so only Gondor can kill him as a failsafe before they add the Ring,cuz otherwise you end up with landless Sauron,which I have heard talk of maybe potentially getting content

I gave a brief overview in a reply here

Pridniestrovie turnout below 20% or about that

Yep,same as before, north and south mostly Stoianoglo, center Sandu,this time she came out on top in more of the southern raions,but not all,Balti,Cahul and Gagauzia are main Stoianoglo supporters, Chisinau a bit more in favor of Sandu,with only Botanica district won by Stoianoglo (I heard it was the more pro Russian district in the capital)

Diaspora overwhelmingly Sandu: 82.83%

Dunno if the results by region are out yet,I am checking the Moldovan Election Commission and I can only see the turnout in each raion for the moment

The parliament elections will be sometime in the middle of next year

Edit:they are,but I’m gonna wait for someone else to make a map,best I can do right now is check each raion,which will take some time

You’ll get some electorialism posting by me in the news mega later this month

The catch is that it’s gonna be Romanian electorialism

Moldovan elections final results: Sandu 55.33% to Stoianoglo 44.67% with a 54.34 voter turnout

Diaspora came to the “rescue” again,it seems. My initial prediction of it being a 10% diff seems to have come true, mostly based on the fact this happened last time: initial opposition lead,only for the diaspora to quash it.

So yeah, Eastern Europe is a diasporacracy,where the voices of those who don’t even live there matter more than those who do. By the way,if you’re tired of American electorialisn,you may have to look forward to me doing some Romanian electorialism come the 24th,seeing as we’ll have our own presidential elections.

We’re a semiparliamentary republic,so these don’t matter as much,but the prime minister does have to be approved by the president,so it’s still not insignificant. But I should warn you, it’ll be a shitfest of pro-NATO bootlickers,but maybe some useful analysis will come of it,who knows?

My hope is that I’ll give a good enough overview and maybe even show you all a bit of the circus going on (we had a local tv station,that was bought by CNN some years ago do “town hall” style debates with the candidates and then a debate where each contender sent two supporters to debate with the other person’s picks,it was a circus,with the journos trying to mimic actual journalism but failing,the most pointless questions and more,I’ll see if I can find a way to make them accessible to the English speakers here) and show you a glimpse of the hellscape that is Romanian politics

Well,the lore accurate parts are exactly the ones that are part of the original cannon,but sure,they could be game rules,it’s the devs vision,after all,but I don’t disagree

As for the military analysis,that’s what the modders line is,and why they made it that way,but there is a game rule to change it at least

I’m gonna be the treat defender here and address your concerns

I mean,the elf stuff,hobbit mechanics and Reunited Kingdom are lore accurate,so they have a good reason to be that way

The random death thing is probably being worked on,since yeah,it’s not supposed to happen

Also,on the adventurer comment,it’s still the beta,and they’re fleshing it out,so it probably won’t be feature complete until after they finish the Ring Quest,which will take a while

Mordor rolling over RK is intentional,since it’s what would have happened if the Ring wasn’t a factor, Mordor just had the better army,they just had an Achilles heel

I agree on the dwarf thing,but you can usually circumvent that by marrying before 100, though the ai dynasties do die out needlessly

As for Numenoreans, you’re in luck,the Thani Hazard is the last Numenorean dominated region,barring the ruins of Tanturak,which are in the beta,but they’re unpopulated,and there’s only one half Numenorean colony left to the east,but it’s more native than Numenorean,so you won’t be seeing more Numenoreans after this expansion

I think theyre gonna finish the utter south(Mumakan-Sauron aligned empire vs Korronade(human-elf alliance republic thingy),do Chey (evil) and Chy (good) and maybe do the southern archipelago in the meantime

I heard 5.0 will be ring quest,but they’ll keep expanding the map in the meantime if they can,in the 4.0,4.1,4.2 model

Lol are you me

But I’m gonna have to disagree on the LOTR point,I love what they did with the lore there,and from what I understand they’re gonna keep expanding south to east,and quite frankly I can’t wait to see what they’re gonna cook up

While the Estonians and Latvians only have repression under Livonians(the order,not the ethnic group) and Teutons to look back to,I’m guessing Lithuanians are on the “we had an empire!” type of brainworms

Is that accurate?

They really broke the entirety of European Socialism and used the pieces to create the franken-vassal states we have today

Not only was the Eastern Bloc looted,but it’s very ideological base was uprooted and it’s very society shattered and then remoulded through heavy US and EU interference to become the perfect vassal region

That is a thorny question

I believe it’s a sum of multiple reasons

First,the people who were foolishly led into thinking that capitalism would be better didn’t want to admit they were wrong and dug their heels in and attributed every failure to the nebulous “legacy of communism”

Second,the latent reactionary sentiments

Third,the inferiority complex we all seem to have,this desire to join the ranks of the West in the vain hope we get a fraction of their prosperity

And fourth,you have to understand,when I say the history was rewritten by gusanos and revisionist traitors,it was rewritten.30 years have gone by since Communism fell,and now all the middle aged people and the young adults were taught a twisted version of history and it’s been turbocharged by the unsatisfactory development brought by capitalism and the poverty that still exists

As for why the Baltics and Poland are the worst,I can’t say,since Romania had different conditions,but my thinking is that they got the somewhat less bad deal and are more integrated than the rest of the former Warsaw Pact,same goes for Czechia

My prediction,based on the previous results, North area (Balti) and South area (Gagauzia and Cahul) will be more for Stoianoglo, while the area in the center and around Chisinau will be pro Sandu
