> PIPELINE SUMMARY CONNECTED...
States of Power is basically HOI4 from Temu, and the player base is split between those who love the simplified, beer-and-pretzels approach and those who are rage-quitting over the lack of peace conferences and the economy that tells small nations to go f*ck themselves. The positive camp is all about the accessible grand strategy, the scenario editor, and the custom puppet nations, while the negative camp is review-bombing the barebones war resolution and the 'squatters' rights' peace system. It's a sandbox with a solid foundation, but the current state is like a half-baked cake—some are eating it up, others are demanding it go back in the oven.

[ TRACK 1: STEAM PLAYER REVIEWS ]
♥ GAMEPLAY & PERFORMANCE PROS:
- ★HOI4 for employed people—streamlined and easy to pick up, no PhD in Paradox required
- ★Scenario editor and custom puppet nations with custom flags and colors—pure sandbox crack
- ★Units behave as intended: artillery pushes, tanks punch, infantry holds—it actually works
- ★Runs smooth as butter, no ARK-style bug infestation, and the price is a steal compared to a Paradox DLC
☠ PERFORMANCE & STABILITY CONS:
- 💀No peace conference—wars end by squatters' rights, so you keep whatever tiles you happen to be standing on
- 💀Economy is a joke for small nations—$14, a shovel, and twelve guys named Greg isn't enough to invade Germany
- 💀Tech is random instead of a tech tree, so you might be waiting forever for landing craft while your tanks get shredded late game
- 💀AI is dumb as rocks and can't scale—you can outpace Germany as France by exploiting the loan system, making the game a steamroll
[ TRACK 2: COMMUNITY HUB & METAGAME DRAMA ]
♥ COMMUNITY MEMES & LORE HIGHLIGHTS:
- ★HOI4 from Temu—the budget version that skips the 40 DLCs and the autism
- ★'Treaty of Versailles by squatters' rights'—the peace conference is just whoever holds the tile, claims it
- ★The game is 'not too autistic and gay'—apparently that's a compliment in the strategy community
- ★'HOI4 for employed people'—the ultimate roast for those with a job and a life, but still want to paint maps
☠ DEVELOPER DRAMA & GRIPES:
- 💀The dev is a solo indie who previously made an io game—so there's a trust fund of goodwill, but the community is demanding more depth before they fully commit
- 💀No drama yet, but the negative reviews are like a kickstarter for the 'peace conference' DLC—except it should be in the base game, you greedy bastards
- 💀The dev's working hard, but the players are split between 'give it time' and 'I want my money back'—classic early access syndrome
- 💀One reviewer is already planning to recreate Kaiserreich in the editor—so the modding community is ready to carry this game to glory, if the dev doesn't screw it up
