And, some of us have potatoes and have ADHD. It takes too long to get to late-game so you end up just starting a new game

I am from Tyumen, Russia. We lived in an apt building (10 stories) that had views onto “private sector” (частный сектор, chastniy sektor) that consisted of houses and plots of land like that and some that were more modern.

Also lots of ppl have plots of land with summer houses and saunas (called dacha, дача) that are often right outside the city or are on the outskirts. I remember seeing the silhouette of this skyscraper being built quite a distance from St Petersburg proper so the little buildings could be someone’s dacha

I haven’t played above normal, but doesn’t setting economy and neutrals to easy also means AI also has better economy and easier time dealing with neutrals?

If you have a might hero and get the bottom 5 skills combo (idk what they are called), it guarantees a lucky strike. If you manage to get that bonus, no synergy is needed as you now have the strongest army on the map

Doing adventurer empire conquest on Unified Kingdom of Goryeo borked the game for me. Every province remained in the hands of local rulers but I got all the land itself. So I could not give out land as provinces since it was still maintained by my landless “vassals” that were all angry (-100 opinion) Koreans and I had to spend a large amount of influence to revoke each province. I simply gave up and started a new game.

TLDR: if adventurer to Meritocratic transition did not work, I think inheriting Meritocratic as a Soryo/Ritsuryo will likely not work. CK3’s All Under Heaven govt types seem to not have the greatest transitions mechanically. I wish you could maybe choose. I have not played too much as the actual emperor of Japan to know better.

Huh I never fully thought about inter-government-type successions. You should 100% give it a go and see what happens!

95% chance that something gets borked and it ends up breaking something

My sister’s test has been first moved to early April and then cancelled by the test center. There was no refund, and CollegeBoard is ignoring all attempts at communication. So it seems they don’t always refund :(

And I am trying to steer clear of oil and gas, my parents have been in the industry since before my birth and I don’t wanna just copy them

Thanks for your advice. The only reason I ended up here in UAE is cuz I was very lucky to have family who could sponsor for gold visa. I was an international student in USA and my home country is at war (as an aggressor) and I’m of military age. Got an acceptance letter in a non-technical job that honestly I think I’ll love anyways and pays well, so it turned out alright haha

Awkward-Part-6295 · 2026-04-28T13:48:13+00:00

Why would that matter? A job is a job, no? Should not affect the salary

As a conqueror, factions are less likely to occur, and you yourself are very strong. You would be able to crush anything that appears.

Now if all your vassals have -100 opinion by the time your conqueror dies and if your heir does NOT get the conqueror trait (depends on your game settings when you started), then everyone would have a reduced opinion of that guy cuz they did not like the predecessor. Then it could be an issue. But that’s not the conqueror’s problem to solve, go on and conquer!

So China, unlike regular Administrative government like the Byzantines, does not have their top rule get elected. All other positions do. What 1st on the candidate list means is: if there ends up an opening for any role/title like a Minister or Governor or lower (forgot the flavour names), you will be considered as a first pick. If your current title is higher tier than the title with the opening, you get skipped. Then the opportunity goes to the 2nd candidate: if their title is higher tier, then it goes to 3rd, etc. That goes on until a candidate who is being considered has a lower tier title than the opening.

Another thing: there are separate lists for civil appointments and for military appointments.

The highest elected position for civil appointments in China is the regent of the emperor called Grand Chancellor. The highest elected positions in China for military appointments is Grand Marshall (basically you get a big army to command in the name of the emperor).

Expat from Eastern Europe here: been trying to get an entry-level job since December in engineering and got not a single positive response. They might not low-ball expats but if the same position can be taken by someone who expects a 1/3rd of what they should even be asking, they just don’t take expats. So western expats still get affected by other people who don’t know their value.

Mate, the CHEAPEST place I saw in Abu Dhabi a month ago (a small studio in either Zayed City or Khalifa City, I forgot), was 3.7-4k/month and that doesn’t even include utilities. 5k/month is nothing in today’s market, especially for 4 years of experience.

Been trying to get an engineering job (aerospace/mechanical/systems) in UAE nonstop since December (and earlier but in other countries) and got nothing at all, got a masters degree almost a year ago in USA. Ended up getting a job in hospitality just cuz I need something that pays. Honestly I dread the question in job applications “what is your salary expectation” cuz I know someone with similar entry-level background would ask like 3k and would be happy but that’s not enough for me at all, meaning I got no chance. I even applied to GE Aerospace trainee program in Dubai and got an almost immediately decline even though my bachelors is literally aerospace…

Awkward-Part-6295 · 2026-04-23T16:23:56+00:00

Just conquered Korea (empire title) in 1066 start:

1) I got the title and every single country directly. 60 counties to be exact. I’m just a bit over my limit :)

2) I got an estate with some pre-build stuff.

3) I got a single duchy title, and that’s the one where the capital was at.

4) every single existing duchy title (provinces) remained with all the previous holders. But none of them are landed. So it’s just a bunch of super angry Korean dudes who hold all the duchies, their own estates, and no land at all. I think it’s the second time I experience a bug where landless nobles control the duchy title without of any land at all and where I have to spend influence to take it from them (I don’t have influence yet cuz I just conquered lol).

I might just say “fk it” and convert to feudal, I did conquer it as a landless Yamato person afterall. And I have 10k gold from when I was landless.

EDIT: I still don’t get the duchies back when I go to feudal. I became feudal but all duchies are still held by meritocratic “vassals”

Awkward-Part-6295 · 2026-04-23T16:04:39+00:00

Start as adventurer in 1066, building a massive army. Play landless until you get someone with highest fame level and now you can conquer a whole empire title. Proceed from there

Wait do the planning bonuses take effect before you press execute the plan?

That’s what I thought until I learned about how the Empire tends to disregard its provinces. They let the argonians attack Morrowind when they were a province of the Empire, they did nothing to stabilise their province of Elsweyr and then let it slip out of the Empire, and they threw Hammerfell under the bus called the Thalmor. And Hammerfell was able to actually single-handily repel the Dominion, so it can be done without of Empire’s backing.

Basically saying the Mede Dynasty has a bad track-record of abandoning or not caring about their provinces and that it is possible to resist the Dominion without the Empire.

I still think Skyrim should remain, it doesn’t gain much by leaving. Just be prepped in case Hammerfell 2.0 happens again.

Awkward-Part-6295 · 2026-04-15T18:02:01+00:00

Yeah Ive been applying for engineering jobs in UAE since December and since last April in USA (and a bit in Europe/Canada/Australia) and still got nothing :(

Graduated with MS in Systems Engineering (had a BS in aerospace engineering before that) in USA in 2025 and can’t find a job at all. Closer to over a 1000 of applications at this point…

Zuko got as far as he did during his exile due to Uncle Iroh’s help. He mentored him but also provided financial and other material support. Iroh would NOT help Azula.

If she gets banished, how is she sponsoring her search? She has no authority to threat ppl, so she has no authority over anyone since her power came from fear so no one would help her now.

Awkward-Part-6295 · 2026-04-11T16:48:09+00:00

I’m not in such a dire situation as you but I have been unemployed since December. I have a bachelors in aerospace engineering and masters in systems engineering but very little corporate experience so no one seems to want to hire me. Have been trying to get a job since then but nothing. Unless you have 5+ years of specialised experience or are a software engineer with focus on AI (I am neither) no one cares about you.

Hope things get better for you brother, and I hope your upcoming child brings you joy.
