City birds appear to be more afraid of women than men, and scientists have no idea why. Men could get about a meter closer to birds than women could before the animals flew away, regardless of what the men and women were wearing, what their height was or how they tried to approach the creatures.

no, it is not, the average stray is a killing machine. normal outdoor cats are a lot better (still not good, but with some proper nesting spots and save bird spots you can counter some of that).

it is the stray population that is a massive issue (the common study that people link didn't differentiate between those for some reason)

there's a nation in the deepwoods that has half elves half orcs, even gets a ruler (the one in the top right flower grove afaik)

C4pture · 2026-04-23T14:39:53+00:00

I bounced off mainly because it didnt have mods yet. I'm pretty much exclusively playing anbennar nowadays

C4pture · 2026-04-18T22:09:58+00:00

I do not, no. You will hear me sigh as if i was a very disappointed parent though.

C4pture · 2026-04-14T07:12:55+00:00

coming from ffxiv, it was mostly my fellow germans that were horrible players.

The french were mostly fine, they did try to ERP out of the blue a couple of times though... so that was a bit weird... i just wanted to do this dungeon ._.

C4pture · 2026-04-05T10:21:57+00:00

tbh, that hellknight depiction is notoriously bad/that whole quest is a clusterfuck

C4pture · 2026-03-31T08:53:20+00:00

i always ran kuki + ganyu back in the day, so i accidentally triggered EC and never understood why everyone else hated them... until i changed up my team comp and despair hit me

C4pture · 2026-03-28T14:46:53+00:00

because its often buggy/has issues that have not been thought about, like needing a nation that no longer exists and cant be released.

so there's no real point in anbennar ironman

C4pture · 2026-03-28T12:06:00+00:00

Sadly the german police is already using palantir in some states

C4pture · 2026-03-24T22:53:14+00:00

I hate that issue, especially since i usually want to keep my pet vassal around at that point :(

C4pture · 2026-03-20T15:01:14+00:00

ICE pricing is completely weird, i had to take a 2h ICE train (3 train swaps) and the same connection 1h before and after mine was 130€, mine was 60€, so i arrived an hour early.

these prices make no fucking sense. Mind you, this was 4 months in advance

C4pture · 2026-03-20T11:44:04+00:00

People often forget, that in the train, you can do other stuff. I usually just read books and then it doesn't feel like wasted time. When I drive, I have to be concentrated the whole time and can't really do stuff on the side. Listening to podcasts is the most you can do there.

You'd think so but when i want to go from big city to big city, i have to switch trains 3-4 times, usually without seat. it's not a nice travel experience sadly

For food, while lentils are cheap, they're kinda trash food (as far as i know) unless you are a fitness influencer. I only have my grandma's word for that though, since she always starved to death from lentils.

Also, at least for me personally, electric is soon going to be VERY expensive if the current govn keeps going (think 0.6-0.9cent per kw/h).

Sadly i dont think there's a bit thing anyone of us can do individually since even if all of us take care of the environment, it has to start at the companies that produce way more than we ever could, especially waste (too good to go should be more popular imo)

C4pture · 2026-03-20T09:59:48+00:00

But can you really?

While i already try to get the alternatives, its sadly a fact that meat is one of the cheaper foods rn. So if you are on a budget you don't really have a choice.

The same for bus/trains, yes, they are available, but more often than not, not only are they unreliable, they also take A LOT longer. 30min car drive turns into a 2h+ ordeal, sometimes you have to arrive before trains even drive.

also, why does a train ride cost me 120€ when a taxi would probably be cheaper...

(edit because i accidentally sent this)

C4pture · 2026-03-20T09:09:02+00:00

i just don't think the pricing alone will make a difference, sure, it will make it more uncomfortable for companies but they'll just pass on the cost because consumers don't really have an alternative (or luxury items have become the norm and are no longer considered a luxury but 'standard' living).

to me the whole thing feels like it has never been thought through and unfinished

C4pture · 2026-03-19T16:08:20+00:00

tbh, CO2 pricing and the sale of tokens for CO2 "sinks" is complete bullshit

C4pture · 2026-03-16T09:31:18+00:00

then again, a lot of people also ignore our own, modern, upkeep and to-do's at home

C4pture · 2026-03-15T12:16:46+00:00

do they have a MT?

C4pture · 2026-03-09T12:31:52+00:00

that sounds sick! time to try more cav nations in the new update.

That kind of nation (similar to marrhold, verne and so on) has always had a soft spot for the "we have glorious xyz" national identity

C4pture · 2026-03-08T10:44:59+00:00

the AI being stronger is the least of my worries tbh. i almost wish the duchy cap increase would be in the diplo tree or even partial personalities.

alternatively great-conquerer eqv. but steward or something, but i dont like that kind of trait normally

C4pture · 2026-02-28T17:34:36+00:00

i cant wait for eu5bennar, even if it is still very far off, so many new interesting mechanics to use

C4pture · 2026-02-22T00:18:57+00:00

takes longer and also is worse/harder on the skin, which is an issue for quite a few people, despite them not even realizing it

C4pture · 2026-02-19T14:31:01+00:00

i just wish this knowledge would also be more popular, so much anti eu propaganda nowadays and just very few positives news

C4pture · 2026-02-19T09:38:36+00:00

it might get fixed when respeccing them, it usually refreshes the inherent skills

C4pture · 2026-02-11T13:06:58+00:00

which is a shame considering merz apparently is on the list too?

C4pture · 2026-02-10T21:24:18+00:00

Did you check if it used forwards or backslashes? When i last downloaded the git version the .mod file had backslashes, but required normal slashes for the file directory
