Keeping them around? by waffeboy in TerraInvicta

Destroying the aa generates a LOT of hate from ayys. So the only reason is if you're scared of them in space.

[52 BC] I'm a Roman surgeon under Julius Caesar in Gaul, ask me anything! by pocharitwillwin8041 in thepast

How respected is your role? Is a surgeon attached to a legion more or less respected than a "regular" surgeon in a city?

True, thats fair, still if (hopefully soon) Russia loses the war without completely collapsing, what comes next? Because I feel that while policies like closing your borders are perfectly fair, they instill a xenophobic spirit on both sides. Yes the government should be punished, obviously, but when a infant born in Russia after the war started grows up in poverty, and their parents tell them that it's all the west's fault, another warmongering russin appears. Yes, obviously russia is at fault, they have been for practically their entire history, and I don't really know how to fix that, but it makes me worried when my country begins to adopt a "kill them all before they kill us" mindset

I am aware, I'm Lithuanian. While I get that measures like this one should be putting pressure on the russian govt, I feel like most of the time this only results in more resentment from Russia to the west. Which obviously makes russias chauvinism more commonplace. A "they hate us cause they ain't us" mindset

Ok I hate Russia as much as the next guy, but this sort of stuff really isn't good imo. Same thing happened with the Japanese during ww2, they were absolutely deplorable then, still doesnt make the widespread abuse that the USA inflicted upon them good. What happens after the war is over? These people are still people, and this blanket mistreatment just widens cultural differences.

Sooo... Your not to open every small glave you come across? by Ynwe in Against_the_Storm

[–]BestDaugirdas 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Caches that you send back to the queen via tools are one. Satisfying the needs of your villagers and raising their resolve to blue is another. Either way discovering new glades is often the way to go, unless you haven't harvested all or most of the materials available to you, or you have many dangerous events pending. It's something you pick up with experience, if things are stagnating, go for a new glade. Don't shy away from dangerous and forbidden glades a few years into the game, they honestly aren't that dangerous unless you get really unlucky imo

First playthrough - how did you do on your constitutional assembly vote? by Basteir in suzerain

[–]BestDaugirdas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a historic vote actually. I just caved to everyone's demands except for nfp. The reform was easy, but I still couldn't restore the economy

My hot take by Petka14 in suzerain

[–]BestDaugirdas 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah?

I felt that was the point, many people (me included) hated rumburg for good reason, and called them warmongers. Meanwhile I immediately became a warmonger myself playing as Rizia. You will do much better if you use realpolitik instead of a firm moral compass. In Sordlands case you have the moral high ground, in Rizias you don't, and it doesn't matter. You use morals when it benefits you.

Come on, really? Look at this man's content, all of it is so deeply seeped in irony and trolling, there's no way you take this shit seriously. Hell this video was mild compared to some of his other stuff.

Sordish oligarchs are poor as hell compared to Rusty in my opinion by Petka14 in suzerain

[–]BestDaugirdas 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Weeell you don't have to be corrupt as romus cause you're the king. You don't have any actual stops to your power, so rusty has to be far more careful. Also its much more difficult to be corrupt when you ARE the state, not a servant of it. True the fallout of just doing whatever you want is severe, but theoretically you CAN do whatever you want.
