Are you sure it's not a problem on your end? I uploaded a picture just today and it worked just fine. Sure I get failed uploads too, but only 1-2 out of a hundred.
I'm pretty sure it's not me. I'm uploading the images from the same file I usually do. Which was working fine a few days ago. I've moved them to a new file and I'm uploading them from that file. Everything is running fine, now.


... Why?



For some reason, Dosbox didn't take screnshots of some of the things. I'm bombing Mexico to provoke them, so I can invade them without the Americans freaking out.



Random violence is random.



Of course I am!




HA! Take that you... Evil Soviet Communistic Nazis!



The attack scratched our popularity a bit.




I am increasing espionage.




And just causing general chaos.




To prevent our popularity taking a HOLYSHITMASSIVE dive, I'm bombing places.



Yes!



Is there a time where the media DOSEN'T find out about this? Jesus fucking Christ, it makes it almost useless.



I'll check the details later.



Shit...



HAHAHAHAH! You made us stronger!



I've ordered about 15 of these.




Yay



This is what happens in game 80% of the time. They usually go and try to sabotage the country's assets after that.



...



Huh. War is increasing.



Ha! Take this you! *non-capitalist political ideaology* *insult*s!



FUUUUCK



Ok. I'm not playing around anymore. I want more land, and Mexico is my first choice. Bizzarely enough, it just says "No countries will hold our troops. Blablabla anxiety"





Thanks for making us stronger, beard!



Because of the not able to invade glitch, I'm doing the second best thing. An overthrow of the government.





NOoOOoOoOOoO. Goddamn it



We enter the war bunker in fear of retaliation.



Heh. That's the best you can do?



I... I accidently pressed the invade button...



My advisor quits :(.



They're going to surrender fast.



Yay! They did!



To prevent mass outcry, we remove our troops from the area.

Ummm... why did we attack Mexico again? Especially when we're still friends with them? I'm certain that there's plenty of other targets that don't like us that you could have invaded.

Now we got an advisor all upset and quitted and likely everyone in the world shitting their pants. I hope you're happy.

Oil. The world's oil supply is running out and we need all we can get. Also, it kicked our growth through the roof and solved our debt problem.

Well, I just failed to invade Saudi Arabia.



This is what our economy looks like now. Pretty good, 'eh?



I am having revenge for all the soldiers who died in Arabia (about 10)



Dosbox didn't seem to want to take a screenshot of the effects, but it seems to have made China fear us.



Average Arabian city.



The Soviet Union is becoming less of a threat. We may even be able to absorb them into the Soviet allience!



They can attempt to sabotage with all that radiation in their systems? Wow.



I decide to take over Saudi Arabia. Because I can. (China, you backstabbing bastards. Something tells me I wouldn't have survived that if I wasn't in the war room)



We invade. Also, thank you, Vietnam.



Hang on. People are HAPPY because I'm invading a country I just hit with a nuclear missile? What. The. Fuck?



SURRENDER, YOU BASTARDS!



Now they're upset about the nuclear strike.



For fucks sake, die already.



Thanks again, Vietnam.



We did it!

Holy shit, you used nukes without causing the immediate end of the world. You are really starting to get good at this whole world domination thing.

I love this game, gonna watch! Do you have any tips on playing it? for example holding down a number such as the spending on health care is very slow, then it speeds up way to fast. Same for deploying military, I find it really hard fine tuning how many men/$ i want on something without constantly stopping holding down the increase button and reclicking before it starts adding like 10 billion $ a second.

Tip 1: Don't go to war with Iraq the moment they do something. It pisses of the Soviets.

Tip 2: Fix your debt ASAP. The more debt you have, the faster your popularity drains.

Anyway, I don't know how to make the number bars go at a steady pace. Sorry :(

Well... The radiation most likely did make a lot of our soldiers infertile. So... TAKE THAT!

In my game, the Rushkins just became 'developing capitalists' some time after I took over Iraq. Should I take out some of the other commies now that they're out of the soviet alliance? Or will China be a problem? I've had my eye on Afghanistan or Bulgaria since Ethiopia had a revolution (thanks in part to me) and Mozambique is a piece of shit.

I think China will be a big problem. I wouldn't suggest taking out Soviet allience countries until you are 100% sure you have enough soldiers.

[EDIT] I just found something out. If you have a low enough ethic and high enough ambition, you can and likely will autonuke countries who you have lost a war with.

As I understand it, the first and second most popular ideologies (as listed in the filter for them) are automatically considered to be competing for control over the world. These are almost always Capitalism and Communism, but if you take down enough communist states it will usually end up being replaced by Nationalism. If communism is still second-highest, then China will probably end up taking over the world team alliance for it (a position always held by the most powerful nation in the ideological category).

I just took over Jordan, Kuwait and the Iraq-Saudi neutral zone. I open up my screenshots folder and find a lack of any screenshots. Maybe my F5 key is messed up.

That's... horrific. The SoD should have you shot, I managed about 3500 losses, which possibly includes those lost in Syria.
