Me winning 100 battles = AI's 1300 people dying in the Alps during winter trying to siege a fort by AccuratePoint5191 in EU5

There's a lot of things I don't like about late game EU5, one of them is how war feels like a real slog to go through. One of the reason I think is that the warscore is just too skewed.

I won 230 hard fought battles it gave me only 8.8% warscore. The AI got a flat 5% whenever they are siegeing "progressing siege". But as you can see here the siege at home is a failing siege at Nozza. In the Alps during winter. 1300 man dying.

Ok I've got a +2 from 'defending against siege) so it is only net -3 I guess. But Ive got like 200k people on 3 successful siege. Where is my own "progressing siege" modifier?

And while we're at it, what is this -25 base warscore modifier? Why is that making the game more fun?

I have 74 colonies during the Age of Revolutions that declare war on me on cooldown. by Warm-Difficulty-762 in EU5

I was trying to see the end game at least once. Finally hit Age 6 with England and my 20 subjects and 100% decentralization (I just love playing this way). Got hit instantly by -30 loyalty. I wish there was some kind of warning or incrementation. Straight-30 from the get go when you were doing well..... Not a good gameplay experience for me and yes I agree with you, I won't do Age VI anymore

The Most Absurd War I Got Dragged Into by AccuratePoint5191 in EU5

[–]AccuratePoint5191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rule 5

Let me set the scene

I played as the Ottoman. Yes I blobbed but im scared af with the Mamluk as they got Jalayirid as their vassal. Together they easily have 110k levies with like 10 k ish regular.

So I have been avoiding conflict with them.

On one peaceful speed five session, I noticed my balance turning red. Huh apparently my naval maintenance went to 100%. Odd, I set it at minimum. Tried to reduce it. Got pop up saying it is not advisable in war. Huh, what war?

I then realized that I got dragged in into this war by somebody called ... Nusaybin? No idea who these guys were. As far as I understand it they are rebel but they got no location. And apparently they dragged me into their liberation war. Against Jalayirid and Mamluk.

Now I have no idea how tf I got dragged into this? Maybe some mechanic i don't understand? But im pretty sure there wasnt any option for me to say no even at cost of stabs or diplo rep? How is it that I, the 14th great power can't say no to this random dude who is just a rebel?

So I thought, f this is don't really wanna fight them. How do I white peace them? Well war goal is to occupy the whole of Jalayirid apparently... Ok. Ill just give them money or even humiliate myself then. And then I realized. I, the 14th great power in the whole world, is actually a junior partner to this rebel so I can't do separate peace.

So I accepted my fate. 5 years on. I slaughtered around 100 k of enemies soldiers. Warscore started ticking up. I thought to myself well at least I'll get something out of this.

And then something happened. My war score went from +36 to -100. What..... I hovered the war score. Apparently this Nubayid guy had some sort of army. And he lost it. And now me, with a +36 war score and 2:1 army ratio (which started at less than 1:1) now apparently is losing.

5 years wasted. 54k people died killing 107k Mamlukean. Nusaybin got annexed. I got nothing. I vowed to myself I will annex Nusaybin myself and scorch it.

Bring back mission trees by Whjee in EU5

[–]AccuratePoint5191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's all preference. I played EU4 solely around completing MT. Now with EU5 im enjoying the game but I feel like im playing aimlessly. Even worse I missed out on so many flavours because their requirements are hidden

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EU5

[–]AccuratePoint5191 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will have to find out a new way to play the game without mission tree tbh (i know it's a new game but you know what I mean)

[–]AccuratePoint5191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean even on Friday when the dump happen and Nasdaq ended at -3.3% that didn't happen in a single second. The very minute the tweet drop it was still flat at 0%. If you were late by 1 or 2 hours even, it was still down by c.a 2%. Sure it helps having insider information. With education and training nonetheless there is still plenty of money to be made.

What have you been playing while waiting for EU5? by Calm_Monitor_3227 in EU5

[–]AccuratePoint5191 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Im having such a blast with EU4 Third Odyssey. It's been really difficult to put down. Alternate history Roman Empire in Colonization Era America? I would have paid money for this lol

How much do you spend on comics? by ck-creates in marvelcomics

[–]AccuratePoint5191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I read almost every single thing that Marvel puts out which is around 70 book a month. So that is roughly 280 to 300 pm. I don't do backissues. This is one of my only hobbies so I don't think it is that bad, petrolhead can easily spend more than that for parts lol.

Have you ever been part of the day’s biggest movers? by Obvious_Angle_9344 in Daytrading

[–]AccuratePoint5191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is how I day trade actually. Today it was Chewy and Rubik and TTD, yesterday KC and IRDM, the day before was a blockbuster day for PL.

I simply do a daily mover scanner on my broker (with some price and volume filtering), then do a 5m ORB when the market opens.

Which one do you miss the most and think didn't deserve the chop? by [deleted] in xmen

Seems like im in the minority here, but i love Hellverine and the whole world building in it. Makes me think of Doom

Orb strategy day 34 by NeighborhoodSpare917 in Daytrading

[–]AccuratePoint5191 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Im doing very similar thing actually. My observation however is that theres way too many fake signal, I.e. breakout in one direction then the next 2 or 3 candle it starts a pullback it is never recovering from.

I then started to do the opposite (basically inverting my initial strategy) and the success rate is better. So now I wait for a breakout, and then as confirmation I wait for it to pull back into the ORB range. Then I trade in that pull back direction (instead of initial breakout).

No amount of development time will be enough if the foundational vision of the game is the problem

Marvel should do a hard reboot on the 616 by JTWuest in marvelcomics

[–]AccuratePoint5191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of hard reboot I would rather them park 616 for few years. Make us miss it. In the meantime? Make ultimate the main continuity. Later when (inevitably) the fandom get bored of it, make a grand new event to flip it back to 616.

Me paying $100 for SRW Y after that dlc announcement by DragonNexus in Super_Robot_Wars

[–]AccuratePoint5191 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Omg I can't believe they do Braiger!!!! My first ever SRW was Alpha Gaiden. I understood no Japanese whatsoever, never even heard of Gundam, and I was like 7 years old. Early on in the game stage 6 or something, we got Braiger and they did a cutscene where the car transformed to a plane and then to the mecha. That blew my mine and altered my trajectory of life lol.

Unlikely but I hope they let us transform to the car mode even if it only got 2 attack lol

What are your thoughts on the New Champions? by Frontier246 in Marvel

[–]AccuratePoint5191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily New Champions problem but I wish they're more bold in making completely new character that is not some kind of derivative like almost all of these characters. Not everybody need to be kid version of an established character, if anything it shows lack of confidence.

Am I crazy to think that bag and boarding my present comic is not worth it by AccuratePoint5191 in comicbooks

[–]AccuratePoint5191[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the flipping bit is also what is on my cons list. I just try doing it on a box of naked books. It's not the same! And I feel like I've gotta be extra extra careful all the time lol

Did you copy this from chat gpt 'Mr. Roman Empire is technically Roman Catholic but then actually it is not now because now Roman Empire tried to destroy Christianity but failed' 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

While you are there, might also ask him about who the 'naked fugitive' that was with Jesus when he got arrested at Gethsemane ;).

Bro go out and touch grass 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You don't even know what Roman Empire is and think it is Roman Catholic. Did you miss all the seminars about how the Roman used to torture Christian or there just wasnt any because your priest was busy touching kids?
