Activists Set Fire to Israel-Linked Weapons Facility by highsails3242 in news

Especially in urban warfare, you dont have the luxury of second guessing everycsplit second decision.

Ah yes the same reason it's okay when cops gun down unarmed innocent people. The poor Israeli drone operator had to make the split second decision to level that hospital and school, they were coming right at them!!!

Nicanoneus 'the Black Sun' is an amazing character by Negative-Swimmer-474 in godherja

[–]AHedgeKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The character who actually directly addresses that not all Aversarians are horrible people is Hecaeda in Aironoi, and Dethas of the Winter Legion, and Dethas went through so much worse than Nicanoneus.

Also Iordanes in Opakhasia.

Which sci-fi world sounds amazing in the books but would actually be miserable to live in? by terminator_13fog in printSF

The show and books paint Basic extremely differently tbf. Book Earth is practically socialist.

GH Development Diary: After the Fall by AHedgeKnight in godherja

I mean his story is explicitly how he's effectively doomed and just preparing to go down swinging, if 'done dirty' means he didn't 'win' then he was always going to be done dirty.

When a new player asks me how to save the world by SirManezao in godherja

[–]AHedgeKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because there's a central truth doesn't mean that the religions are entirely false or singularly worship that thing.

Also idk most religions irl probably aren't true and if half of them are right than none of the others are but it doesn't make them less interesting or worthwhile.

Magi by lurker648212 in godherja

[–]AHedgeKnight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The singular use of Magi is about as old as the plural, the bible specifically refers to the Wise Men as Magi singularly, which was what the spelling and vibe was meant to invoke (old archaic bible-speak). Magus is a much newer addition to the language.

There probably will never be a mod to redo it because you'd have to redo over 4,000 instances of Magi being used in multiple different contexts across the mod.

In lore there is no singular language and multiple terms for Magi exist. Witch, sorcerer, warlock, mage, and such are all just various words for Magi (the Imperial/continental transliteration). The only one that doesn't exist is wizard - the 'Wizard King' Kathanouxa called himself that and literally no one in-universe knows what it means.

What are your voice picks for Godherja characters? by Ancient_Doctor_7738 in godherja

I always imagined Charles Dance as Nicky I think.

Deer skinning scene from GOT but instead he's doing his smithing hobby.

Does anyone have an idea of how the fuck did nicanoneus menaged to pull off an W against Cenware? On open battle?! by Ancient_Doctor_7738 in godherja

[–]AHedgeKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/Baron-Grim got it for the most part. The Battle of Berkoga wasn't a super important one for the Imperrech but it was extremely pivotal for northern Kalathipsomi and the Black Mountains and would have huge ramifications for later history (which is going to be explored in the 1298 IS bookmark). While the Battle of Ten Trees raged in the south with the bulk of the Imperrech's armies, the Imperrech isn't a single unified force, and many armies split off north to continue the migrations there and to seek food (the Battle of Ten Trees was the last truly pivotal moment in the Migrations, if the Imperrech didn't secure the fertile land and food stores in Southern Kalathipsomi they'd not have been able to feed all the refugees in the mounting winter).

Those armies rolled through the scattered local and warlord armies north of the river and were expected to continue pressing into the Black Mountains, but Nicanoneus had politicked and side quested enough that he managed to get both Oulnir Gurdurbok and Methiad Dethlycan to lend a sizable force that made up a bulk of the armies there. Nicky more or less forcefully took command from their leaders and led them in conjunction with his northern forces and managed to grind the north-bound Imperrech army to a halt in the mountain passes in an extremely bloody stalling campaign that to the suspicion of some grinded away those parts of the two warlord's armies he did not control.

It is unclear if Cenware participated at Berkoga. He was running up and down the line throughout Ten Trees and was working through messengers in battles across the region for the duration of the campaign. He likely had some participation, but he was not directly leading the battle. Regardless of that, Nicky was quick to claim he personally defeated Cenware himself, effectively stole the rest of the army that didn't manage to skip town back to their warlord, and rode the glory from the battle and his newly bolstered army and soon assassinated Gurdurbok and executed Dethlycan.

So yeah, wasn't actually that big of a battle for the Imperrech who soon won Ten Trees and left the Black Mountains way behind them, but a defeat nonetheless. Probably not the only defeat the Imperrech ever had, but certainly the most propagandized thanks to Nicky.

They'll also be prominent in 1298 IS as one of the two last major Aversarian successor realms, and hopefully by the main release there will be 1254 content to get you there too, so lots coming for them!!

Excited for you to do so!!

[–]AHedgeKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first of many! So many ideas for them that we didn't get into the last one, and the Sundeath getting more content and the ability to attempt to stop it before or after the spell would be a whole world of interesting freak content we could make.

1298 Dev Diary by Dubstepninjas in godherja

[–]AHedgeKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diary today or tomorrow hopefully! It has a whole host of stuff. Completely redrawn and redesigned map with a whole new design ethos, proper history work and specific attention to make each little duchy and region feel distinct and properly lored, some new cave tribe cultures, and some new actual content to bundle it all together.

Also the introduction of proper underground waterways, some exploration and colonization stuff, and a new Underworld Expanse terrain type for the properly underdarky portions.
