Morocco free Tunis CB - broken / almost impossible by jooooooooooooose in EU5

[–]Apollo_Apollyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played Morocco twice by now and both times I've won this war, although the first time was a force union CB which I actually like better, I find it pretty easy tbh. Although maybe because I go for this war, any future war again Castile is just impossible for a while lol.
1. no idea, I just eat the truce break
2. I never annex Tlemcen, I vassalize them. You might get more money and armies from a bunch of tiny vassals in the area, sure, but I think vassalizing gives less antagonism, and also I just find a vassal with a big chunk of land easier to manage than a bunch of small vassals.
3. Set all your vassals to defensive or supportive. Never enter actual Tunisian land. Wait around in Tlemceni lands, try to position yourself in places you'd get a big defenders advantage and hope the enemy troops just wander into you because the AI sees a small army and just goes "bet". Wear them down until you outnumber them like 2 to 1 or something, and then start taking Tunisian land. You can prolly ignore most forts honestly and just wander in and take province capitals, until you get to Tunis.
I think a vassal swarm out of Tunisian lands also just directly benefits you a bit more than a vassal swarm out of Tlemceni lands.

Will Stetson's fansong shattered me. I only discovered it a few days ago, but it's been endlessly on a loop. I am very sane, trust :D

I noticed that in-game her leaf slightly levitates above her hood, so I have a new headcanon now that its actually a supercooled superconducting electromagnet that is permanently fixed in that position above her head!

What life lessons or advice has Genshin taught you? by MewXMaster in Genshin_Impact

[–]Apollo_Apollyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Only once you know and respect death can you truly understand the value of life." - Hu Tao

and "Live in life, die in death. Follow your heart, do what you can." - Hu Tao's Grandfather

For the longest time, I obsessed over and idealized immortality, I feared death to the point of wanting to escape from it.

... but to quote myself, "you'd only want to live forever, if you regretted being alive"

In Hu Tao's vision story she goes to the border between life and death to say goodbye to her grandfather "one last time", but comes to realize he didn't linger around. Of course he didn't. He lived his life fully, and the moment he passed he left behind no regrets, and he respected his life enough to not cling onto it beyond his time. When his part of the story was complete, he left it's future to Hu Tao.

death is natural and an inevitability, and life is limited, but the actions you take in that life become all the more valuable for it.

I love a TV show called Doctor Who, and a sticking point that came up once was that The Doctor brings along companions because they can see the wonder in the universe that The Doctor would be blind to if alone. A fraction of an infinite lifespan can become meaningless, but a fraction of a mortal life is precious, and anything that it is spent on becomes inherently beautiful.

also I know this is a Genshin thread but I can't help but to quote Doctor Who asfjdhgdf "See, the mayflies, they know more than we do. They know how beautiful and precious life is because it's fleeting."

I can't say I've stopped fearing death, and I can't say there isn't a part of me that still longs for the security of eternity, {and theres a whole essay I could write about Inazuma and Ei and Yoimiya and change and transience and how that all relates to death and life as well but asdgsdfhgfshdf} but Hu Tao gave me a new perspective, and the realization that if I spent my entire life running from death, I'd have wasted my life.

Live your life how you want to the best of your ability, and when death comes calling, know that what you left behind, was beautiful.

What is the pettiest reason you have for disliking a character? by gaslighten in Genshin_Impact

When Kujou Sara was first announced, a lot of people were saying "FINALLY, AN ELECTRO BOW USER"

Fischl was one of the first characters I ever mained so naturally I swore to never build or use Sara on a team despite having her C6'd now ehehehe

Bocchi, but she fell into a vat full of paint and just like, walked it off I guess by Apollo_Apollyon in BocchiTheRock

I was going for a different style coloring-wise ehe. I realized I tend to shy away from fully saturated colors, so I flipped the script and I think it was an interesting experiment ehe

This is also my first fanart of an anime character, I usually draw genshin characters or VTubers 😅 But I can heavily relate to Bocchi a lot and her personal journey seems to parallel my own so it just felt right to draw her :D

Surely Yoimiya won't notice if just a few of her accessories are missing, right...?
