Realpolitiks

Realpolitiks, no title was ever better for a game. But what identifies this term? The word realpolitk was first coined by Prussian writer Ludwig Von Rochau to describe Otto Von Bismarck’s diplomatic work, but this political vision is rooted in a farther past

and is traced back to the Peloponnesian War and to the text of Tucidides, specifically in the dialogue between the Athenians and the inhabitants of the small island of Melo. The lines perfectly express what is meant by realism, that is, the state of reason that “forces” the Greek empire to attack a city that wants but can not remain neutral in the

war against Sparta. Realpolitik then develops into the famous “The Prince” by Niccolò Machiavelli, rages with Kant and other illuministic philosophers who tend to see idealism as the first principle of political action, degenerates into the aggressive G

erman weltpolitik which then led to two world wars, is recovered during the Cold War from USA and Russia , that there are too many problems in arming and supporting puppet states for a balance between the two superpowers and finally disapp

earing almost to the present day, where improvised politicians are more or less driven by public opinion rather than by reason of state. If realpolitik is agonizing in reality, however, it is more alive than ever when we are with a mouse and keyboard in front of a mon

itor: without even noticing it, when we have a strategically worthy name in the hands of this name,Realpolitiks , a title developed by Jujubee SA, a game that, if seen, will be exchanged for a modern  Europa Universal model  nowadays.

Realpolitiks works. Because? Because for about two centuries, starting from 2023, I behaved like a stronz … Ehm as an extraordinary political man. I got into Italy an economic crisis, with a galloping unemployment and constant GDP in red, and I man

aged to get it out of the swamp, making it the fifth world power and leaving behind the employment problems. Public

debt, no, I could not reset it, and even inRealpolitiks , Bettino’s aura still lies on us. The recipes I have adopted to get out of the crisis are dishes that hardly tolerate, Realpolitikshe made me act in a way that if I saw him doing some flesh and bones

politics, I would probably lend him against the coins seeing him on TV. But in the end it’s a video game and without putting too many problems I put aside my (poor) moral, wearing the back of a Henry Kissinger 2.0. I did not hesitat

e for a second to support armed rebels in Turkey, simply because the state on the Bosphorus had just opened a financial market that threatened my revenue and everyone knows that a stable economy is the basis for a solid country, esp

ecially in a strategic one. Or I turned my back to the request for monetary aid from neighboring Greece, oddly to the default, but that in the current game had preferred to enter the Russian orbit and refused my handshake. What benefits would I get by sending resources to Athens? None, I would be a good man, but good men are not fit to do politicia

ns. This does not mean that I have led my faction as a loose dog, indeed, the constraints that come from, for example, the UN are a limit to which to always count and, more generally, all external stimuli are a parameter to to adjust, but never to bend. Occasionally, however, the international scenario unfolds in seemingly bizarre, generally the IA behaves consistently and the

powers follow a precise plan, but there are also many unlikely scenarios, such as a ten-year war between Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil that has deteriorated the global economy for more than ten years. In but good men are not fit to do politicians. This does not m

orm of boxes placed over the state directly involved, and to provide a favorable response to my state, there have been few cases in which I put on my nose, finally leaving our country for more than half a century its democratic forms, forced by external events to turn Italy into authoritarianism. Does this mean that I’ve suddenly become a warship? Absolutely not, Realpoliti

ks is not a game of war, just like inUniversalis Europethe provinces can be annexed, but only at the expense of heavy international and internal repercussions; war clashes, just like everything else, are just a tool to be used sparingly and only as the last b

each unless you decide to use any Middle Eastern nation, always caught up with a close relative of the Islamic state. The most interesting fact is that Realpolitiks does not oblige the player to do anything, I was not forced by a specific

mission to send spies beyond the Alps to sabotage the elections of our French neighbors, but I did it only to have a diplomatic advantage; apart from the overwhelming tasks that guarantee prestige and entertain economically sporadic, Realpolitiksit’s a sandbox all over and for all, and the paper on which to write its story is completely white, with the exception of some majo

r states that have a final goal, such as Russia in its run towards the USSR restoration or Germany in his atavistic confrontation with France for the control of Alsace and Lorraine. Each game is always different than the one that has just ended , there are three d

ifferent scenarios to start, and according to the selected period, your state with which you decided to carry the campaign will have scenarios ahead , alliances and conflicts never equal to the previous match.

Realpolitks is highly recommended to all our craftsmen, bakeries who after three videos on YouTube and a few quick reads of some posts on Facebook decide to go to the field and apply as municipal councilors. About mayors. How come we go ahead

with this suggestion? Because the strategy made in Jujubee SA is a great novelties policy vademecum, within its screens you are in peace and gaming dynamics are learned already after a few clicks, a bit on the merits, a bit for the manna dr

opped on some mechanics. First of all, Realpolitksprovides a rich and valuable tutorial that, divided into three parts, gives the player all you need to know about basic mechanics, running a war, and some convenient tricks to use in the most critical situations. S

econdly, no time wasted browsing through the menus being flooded with pop-ups and incomprehensible windows because all the interfaces are clean, intuitive, and well-arranged: in the bottom right c

orner there are the map display menus, left handed commands to handle internal politics, military aspect, economy and diplomatic relations, while down, in the central zone, there are the latest keys with which you access the technology tree, the alliance pan

el or, if you are part of it, at the United Nations Assembly. Finally, there are the few parameters that dictate the trend of o

ne’s own nation, based on the tangle of simple variables, such as GDP, economic revenue, the rate of scientific progress, action points, and natural resources. RealpolitksIt also avoids unnecessary waste of time to understand what is more or less direct abou

t these values: passing over the mouse, all modifiers are immediately displayed, for example, GDP is determined by economic development, by the industrial sector , from taxes but also from the international scene, while the culture of a province determines its public order and immediately it is understood where and how to run to the shelter

. The sum of an optimally structured tutorial, ease of navigation, and the clarity of many numeric parameters is the real side of Realpolitks’s accessibility , but it quickly goes into superficiality as soon as you realize that the tools provided to the player run out in a few hours of play.
