DD# 277 Вперёд, суки, за Родину!

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

Over the past years, there were countless pro-Ukraine diaries. But this one is going to be a hardcore pro-Russia diary. Over the course of this week, Russia has achieved two tremendous victories, which indirectly benefit NEOLITHIA and President Trump. Thus, their efforts shall be praised, and game content shall be rewarded to them accordingly.

But, before that, let's do some fact-checking for last week's red-teaming practice.

Last week, the recommendation was issued

Russia should target Ukrainian gas stations. Execution followed. Multiple facilities were neutralized.

Outcome

optimal logistical disruption.

Last week, the recommendation was issued

Russia should strike Ukrainian evacuation routes. Both sides complied.

Outcome

confirmed efficiency. The Russian formation exhibited superior tolerance to attrition, attributable to excess manpower reserves. Last week, the two-spies doctrine was outlined.

Result

Ukraine has entered the internal corrosion phase. The largest corruption event recorded in the conflict. Zelensky remains non-responsive. His former legal advisor was sanctioned for exposure. Budanov issued directives for media containment, ironically on World Press Freedom Day. Drafting-related graft incidents continue at a daily frequency. Which assets constitute the actual compromise—those extracting value through corruption, or those interfering with it? If Russian operations are aligning with my provided framework, dual-side infiltration assets are currently active. Nationalism and patriotism—Ukraine cultivated over four years for cohesion—are now being redirected to generate internal fracture.

Assessment

strategy validation confirmed in the operational environment. Feedback loop efficient. Another victory for NEOLITHIA!

But I have not even started to cover those two big Russian victories yet. The first one is simply a strategic response regarding Zelensky's May 6th ceasefire. That day, I posted on a Chinese social media, concluding the most mathematically correct solution for Russia is to blow the shit out of Ukraine hard! And see how Zelensky would "mirror" it on May 9th.

Zelensky thought such a ceasefire was smart. I saw how foolish he is. What if Russia attacks? How will he respond? If he does not bomb the red square, he loses support because he cannot "mirror" it. If he does bomb the red square. Very well; it benefits Russia much more. Russia did just as I said. They attacked Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. I took no joy in the loss of life. But this is just a cold, rational, mathematical calculation. And guess what Zelensky did to "mirror" it? Zelensky signed a three-day ceasefire given to him by President Trump. He got humiliated. An absolute victory for Russia. A victory for President Trump's peace effort. And, a victory for my strategic prediction!

What's another absolute Russian victory of this week? Did I also mention Hearts of Iron 4 in my last week's diary? And one of the most talented Russian Hearts of Iron 4 players, Grisha Putin, just defeated half a dozen European players and claimed a total Russian victory!

As I mentioned last week, as a developer, I always favor those who play my game a lot and understand it better than those who have never played it. I am on Hearts of Iron 4's credit, and I deeply loved the game for a long time. It brings me joy to see such outstanding performance and an analytical mind. Maybe I simply like smart and talented people. So, there is some related content this week as well. But such opinion is my own, and it's entirely apolitical. You can still expect the majority of Paradox game developers to be pro-Ukraine.

Alright, with the background set. Let's go down to the game content. I am almost entirely in the Siberia front for the whole week. It's a deviation from the main directory of continuing the main storyline. But I feel more emotional and passionate about working on this part of the game world because of what happened this week. And motivation means better productivity and efficiency. Thus, it's a mathematically better choice to do so.

First thing I want to address is those existing Russian Orc Soldiers and Meat Cubes. For a long time, they have been like cartoon villains heavily influenced by a pro-Ukraine narrative at the start of the war. But, no, ladies and gentlemen, NEOLITHIA is a very mature game. I expect something better than that. Thus, the entire narrative has been reworked to fit a higher standard. There were no real in-game explanations for them before. Now we have.

It was a recycled Russian super soldier project, and it's much darker! How dark? In this game, previously, you could already capture people, brainwash them, wipe their previous identities, and turn them into your slaves. A new Mutagen system has now been implemented. You can inject them with Mutagens to turn them into monsters.

You can have your own orc army to start your own special military operation. Why? Because life is simply unfair. Some are born in rich Western countries, yet they never appreciate their life. Some others are born in rural areas of Russia, never had a chance to gain higher education, or have a luxurious life. They joined this war for the benefit of their families and their nation. They believe this is the right thing to do. It's even nobler than many ungrateful Westerners who went Woke. If anyone were to exchange places with them, maybe anyone could be an orc. That's why I am bringing the equality here. All can be turned into orcs!

And their lore has also been rewritten.

There is even a new song for them <<Мы - Орки>> inspired by Jay Chou's > from more than 20 years ago. Their enemies mock them, so they turned into what they are mocked for. They become orcs with cold blood and burn down all their enemies' cities, drink their blood, and turn their jokes into a nightmare. A self-fulfilling prophecy and a way I always advise handling "moral-kidnap." Shoot the hostage first, eliminate their leverage, and then violate every single human right of the kidnapper, for they have forced your hands. Same thing I said to the Ukrainian, if someone says you are a Nazi, why not become one and be their nightmare?

Since we are in that Siberian village, you will naturally find some more authentic documents about this war. Mobilization officers deliver speeches to recruit more volunteers to get injected with Вещество Z-77 and become orc soldiers.

Mad scientists test an aerosol variant directly on villagers, trying to turn them into better soldiers.

Who is this mad scientist? Oh, that's the second member of the Березина special unit. She is short with a loli appearance. She is a genius girl in bioweapon development, That's all you need to know for now. Now, go commit some war crimes! :D Oh, by the way, as we are talking about bioweapons. Here is a meme for the new Hentai Virus that has recently kept appearing on the news! Pretty sure I spelled it incorrectly. But it does not seem to matter. It's correct in the image.

There is also a bit more regarding Grisha's total Russian victory. He has such a flag in the background, and he claimed this is why he won! After some research, I discovered the flag holds quite significant religious importance in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Thus, it has been added to the game.

On the other hand, the defeated NATO side was led by an Austrian known as Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn. And it's the second time they've lost to Grisha. Why do European think it's a good idea to let an Austrian lead their military? Do they miss a certain Austrian painter? Oh, well, I guess I can have this painting in the game.

Alright, that's all for the Russian victories. In this war, we have pro-Ukraine factions, we have pro-Russia factions, but there is also another faction! The pro-War faction! It's time to add a bit more content for the Phoenicians. You may have hired their mercenaries on your journey to defeat supernatural threats. They are highly customizable teammates. I know some of you may have even put your friends and families in the game with such a system. But, from a lore perspective, the Phoenicians are still mercenaries. So, here are two things:

1. They can work with anyone. That means they can work with Russia. Thus, they can potentially be your enemies.
2. War is good for their business. If there is a ceasefire, they will certainly do their best to screw it up. For example, maybe they will disguise their agents as a third party to use bioweapons to attack a Russian position, not because they suddenly support Ukraine, but to escalate the war to a new height! Gentlemen, they love war! Anyway, they will get more involved in future content.

That's for this week. The leftists have shouted that Ukraine does not need our support for years. Look how things went for them in just one week. War is not won by political correctness, not by their stupid woke ideology, not by shouting louder. War is won by strategy and calculation. NEOLITHIA always wins! I have been supporting Ukraine since day one. I know there are many flaws and vulnerabilities, but they tried to bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to see them because telling the truth is politically incorrect. They disappoint me; surely they can do much better. I am not pro-Ukraine. I am pro-NEOLITHIA! NEOLITHIA first!
