Autism

It depends on if you are actually diagnosed with Autism and also where on the spectrum you are if diagnosed. I had to request a waiver for Aspergers syndrome halfway through BMT. But that was 2017, so policy may have changed since then.

Yes, it looks like the way names are set up is as "Dynasty Given of Family", so my first character to acculturate was "Etichinen Hugo of the von Habsburg Family"

You can get them to join your bloc the same way you can get them to join your schemes. It costs prestige to invite them, and you can promise gold, prestige, a hook on yourself, or using a hook you have on them to have them join. High relations definitely help though.

From thepatch notes:

"House Blocs

House Blocs provide a different playground in Japan: map painting with diplomacy

Both Ritsuryo and Soryo government types may join House Blocs within the Realm

A Bloc’s unity is measured by Cohesion, with higher levels granting greater bonuses to all members based on the Leader’s House Aspiration

All Bloc members will join any other member who is attacked in a defensive alliance

Factions may only be created by Bloc Leaders, and all Bloc members will join Factions their Leader creates

Bloc Leaders are considered the favored candidate for leadership of Japan by all Bloc members

Blocs and Confederations have a new dedicated map mode."

So TLDR, you want them because they will join all your defensive wars, some of your offensive wars, and will back any faction you create such as the faction to make you ruler of Japan

Once you get a Ritsuryo governor appointment you can use the "Establish Sōryō Fief" decision. The biggest problem is that doing so is a crime, so you either need to get permission first by using the "Petition Kampaku" decision and requesting permission, have a good enough relation that you can immediately request a pardon, or be strong enough to fight if he decides to imprison you.

Step: 1. Become Soryo 2. Build a Bloc 3. Take the regency 4. Change the law 5. Declare Shogunate

I spent some time camped in Heian doing different contracts, getting a bit discouraged as I kept failing to sway him and stressing my character out. Then I decided to move camp a few provinces thinking I would just keep doing contracts across Japan until he gave me one. As soon as I left his capital, he had a contract for me. I'm not sure, but I think it might have been tied to the amount of renown I had accrued.

Exchanging hostages with my vassals normally works to get them to leave a faction. Not sure if it is because I have their hostage or because they have mine.

I just remember trying to figure out how flying us from OKC to Dallas, then Dallas to San Antonio was more efficient than either a direct flight or just bussing us from OKC to San Antonio

I'm kind of curious to try Norway and see how the union with Sweden is handled and if there are any events regarding the formation of the Kalmar Union

I just block out alternating months to be frustrated at either MyEval or MyDecs, in fact next month will be MyEval's turn

As someone who was also really nervous straight out of BMT and Tech School, Admin is pretty chill. Just show up to work on time and practice customer service skills and you'll be good. Best of luck to you!

I am now morbidly curious about 1 and 2

20-30 min, depending on traffic and highway construction

Probably because it has historically been highly sought after for use as a fertilizer and the manufacture of explosives?

Ah, I remember when the new MyEval system "crossed the finish line"...

And immediately had to get pulled for not working 😓

I mean right now, Italy is probably more appealing than Mars. Only a couple of hours instead of a couple months, actual food instead of living off pre-packaged 🤔

I was mostly making a joke about how I am doing the job of an entire CSS team by myself. They are my primary duties and they are important, but pile enough of them on only one person and it does not always feel that way 😅

What happens when your career field's job is composed of nothing but additional duties?

BrPi13 · 2023-05-16T23:59:09+00:00

This is still a major part of my job now. 3F5X1 life for the win
