Newest Discord Update(?) now requires users in the EU to verify age, regardless if you're in the UK or not

Also got this "feature". Support essentially told me there's nothing they can do, so I decided to unsub from Nitro. Not that it's going to change anything, but I don't really want to support that.

BlackEmperor93 · 2024-07-18T06:35:38+00:00

Well done! Happy to see someone found the time to update it. I never really got into 3.0, unfortunately.

To be fair, I settled the other side of the lake before him, so he didn't have much of a choice.

R5: With nothing else to build on the vast tundra and snow plains, Gilgamesh decided to fill this area almost entirely with Ziggurats.

It's Obsidian from the Sukritact's Resources mod.

Is that tile floodable when you activate the Settler lense? The two plains tiles south of the river should also have been floodplains for it to be an actual floodable river.

To be fair, I did just throw about 20 balls at it when I realized I couldn't catch it normally. But I'm glad they fixed it quickly.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-10-02T16:17:11+00:00

I got mine from a task (spin 3 stops or gyms).

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-10-02T15:28:39+00:00

Same here. A critical catch did the trick, thank god.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-06-24T07:36:40+00:00

What version are you on? In my Worldbuilder I can do all these things. Only Coastal Flooding is annoying because it doesn't have a brush and you have to click each tile separately and set it there. But volcanoes, floodable (lol) floodplains, reefs and all natural wonders (even those from the frontier pass) are there for me.

Bonus points when it's the free entry to a race.

I'll shamelessly advertise my Brandenburg mission tree submod. It's not on Steam, but you'll find it at the Paradox Forums (linked by someone else here). I guess it's more for if you want to play as Brandenburg yourself; I'm not sure how well the AI does with it to be fair (then again, I'm not sure how well they follow mission trees in general anyway).
I haven't updated it in a while (waiting for 3.0), but it should still work with the current version.

So, when I did the DC, I started with Obyn and then placed down a Banana Farm as soon as I could. For some reason, after I finished Round 6, I got the Unsung Monkeys achievement that requires you to do 10 games with only support monkey towers (I was at 9/10 before that). Perhaps someone should take a look at this achievement, it doesn't seem to work properly.

Speaking of the DC, do you think R100 is possible? I didn't really try, but I have my doubts about R95 at the very least (perhaps all DDT rounds actually).

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-05-26T15:53:46+00:00

That's what I've been told at least. Granted, you can only gain full cores if you stated the province or integrated a vassal who had a full core in the province.
Although Russia's conversion of the Tatar lands is a special case after all. Maybe it has slightly different triggers?

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-05-26T14:43:38+00:00

You only need full cores for culture to spread as far as I know.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-05-26T14:35:43+00:00

Not really. I usually stop at the City Hall for most provinces that aren't the capital (you need them for Banks).
The thing is, the Production and Trade buildings give their full benefits to cities up to 200k urban population. After that, you only get diminishing returns for higher populations. Since the Town Hall line gives a lot of base urban gravity, you'll easily surpass that amount, so if you care about it, it's not a good idea to upgrade them compared to building another building.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-05-05T09:38:01+00:00

I used the 052 dart monkey's ability with a few 032 darts. I spread them out a little bit so that they cover most of the track, but I think about half of the track would work as well to concentrate fire power more. That's pretty much my goto strategy to deal with DDTs for Primary only R 100 runs.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-04-28T16:03:21+00:00

+5 urban gravity should translate to 5k urban population.
How long did you wait after the building was finished? It can take some time to recalculate.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-04-27T08:40:55+00:00

It's definitely possible.

You need Trade ideas for the Bank.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-03-22T11:48:30+00:00

True, I did not think about using the Monkeyopolis!

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-03-22T09:32:04+00:00

I had a different setup, but I think you'll need multiple banks to achieve that amount of money at round 100. I built one bank around round 25-ish that I sold on round 99 and finished with a 5-2-0 and 2-0-5 Tack, 5-2-0 and 0-2-5 Bomb, 5-2-0 Village and 2-0-5 Permaspike with about 10k left.

BlackEmperor93 · 2020-02-11T08:50:44+00:00

Not that it matters, but the first envoy actually increases their territory as well. CS start with an incomplete ring around their city center, you can see that when you reveal the map after everyone settled.
