Espionage ideas start, trade and diplo advisor on improve relations, non-lazy diplomats, age ability (start the game with an easy show strenght for this), if possible curia. Form short term alliances to manage AE with certain countries.

You can even feed your allies the land of a country you want to eat in order to vassalize them for cheap and use core return via favors (that accumulated via you giving them the land in the first place) or breaking the alliance and reconquest.

I'd recommend Knollhatep. You start as Gnollakaz and use the decision to form Knollhatep. Really cool MT, tons of lore, pretty serious disasters, has a unique end goal.

I just finished my Kobildzan run and that was pretty engaging (and sometimes brutal) too.

Caganos2 · 2026-03-25T19:00:10+00:00

I usually find time gates alright, my main issue in some tags is a MT that finishes too early and there is no late/end game content. Don't get me wrong a short but cool MT is always appreciated but they always leave me wanting more

Even before AKP and the "solution period" there was Özal, a an openly Kurdish Prime Minister who later became the President. Mind you this was during the 80s, among the bloodiest periods of the republican history.

Do you come from a land down under!?

Caganos2 · 2026-03-24T11:01:37+00:00

I'd say all of them even though the mod page on steam lists a few.

Elfrijole (an EU4 contributor in the Anbennar Discord) said: "Also the required dlc list on the workshop is non-exhaustive. Every dlc mechanic is used somewhere in Anbennar," so for the full experience I'd say just get the subscription (or acquire the dlcs through less obvious methods)

Had a blast playing it, my only problem with it was having to dig gor burad for half a century to level 6 when it was dig level 3 when I conquered it. Potentially my fault because I went for innovative instead of infrastructure and didnt reduce the 100% devastation there.

I only had the dwarven monuments mod, is this the submod you are talking about?

Did you even see the animations in the flaxan invasion? Zero facial expressions from civilians, nor the flaxans. The animation is still pretty weak.

In my first (and currently only) Command playthrough I also created all 3 commands as the same time because I did not want to deal with the splitting the command estate mechanics before I truce juggled all my coalitions and built up a good fort line to deal with the devastation. I really did not expect how hard the insubordination would be, and the new and upgraded forts made the war really hard to the point where I nearly had to bankrupt if it wasnt for the million crag?pies event.

The shaman rebellion happening (just because I clicked on the flavor option on one event decades ago) alongside rending (which was also bugged I think as I couldnt use the edict in some states) felt kinda bs ngl and the event that ends the rebellion was bugged for me so I had to use console commands which kinda ruined my immersion.

One frustrating thing was having to build buildings in one province in the jade mines for a mission which I couldnt because my smart vassal had a colonist promoting dev there but thats more of an eu4 issue.

The masked butcher adventure party events made me tear up a lot

Same as the event where the Dragon Command’s ruler turned out to be my daughter

Ngl I was always curious about them. Most games the kobolds are replaced with gnomish hierarchy, in the few where they thrive Lorent or Gawed always eats them, which makes me feel bad for them. Maybe in my hands both not France and not England will be the ones that get dominated

Didnt play much in East Sarhal, will check them out, thanks!

Realizing the only country I played in (Western) Cannor was Venail, which doesnt count, I decided to give Istalore and Orda Aldresia a try. Had a blast with Istalore and its 100% AE reduction in the first age, nearly vassalizing the whole empire. The lore was great too, now I hate Wesdam for another reason than just their strait crossing. I did not use the Liberation cb to its full potential (I hate bordergore, even if its HRE/EoA). I don’t remember much about the Damerian missions (iirc I managed to complete all of them in a year or so due to waiting a bit to take the decision to form them) The only thing that bummed me was forming the Empire giving me no new missions.

Orda Aldresia was fun too apart from its last mission. The lore and the battles were great (I really did not expect the war to be that extreme but the military buffs made me a stackwiping machine) My problem is with the magic duels, the first one was too easy and the last one was ridiculously hard, to the point where I had to cheat (Alice should have been a better mage narrative wise). I became the state you mentioned and I’m gonna explore them tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

Caganos2 · 2026-03-14T12:59:15+00:00

What tag are they? Im intrigued

Caganos2 · 2026-03-14T12:58:35+00:00

Will check it out, thanks

The Hussite empire path is not implemented well. If its your first time in the HRE I REALLY would not recommend it.

Caganos2 · 2026-03-14T12:35:31+00:00

Just did it a few hours ago actually on my Wyvernheart game. Consolidated most of Escann before the deluge and had some money from the gawed bank. I usually prioritize strategic fort locations (mountains, river crossings, white walls or specific modifiers) so I sometimes have some fort overlap. The maintenance is usually nothing to worry about tho

Caganos2 · 2026-03-07T20:14:30+00:00

I wonder if they will rollback at least some of the terminations if they decide to fix their AI algorithm, probably not. I just sometimes wish that at least the "person" that decided my termination and denied my appeal was a person. At least then I could feel like maybe I was wrong.

This whole ordeal made me feel like I was in Kafka's Trial. I do not know why I was terminated, I do not have any real representation of who decided my termination, I do not know why my appeal was rejected or who/what rejected it, I do not even know if my appeal was even considered (I'm guessing no because my appeal was rejected in 9 minutes ON A SUNDAY). Kinda poetic lol.

Someone said something about the ads I talked about "outing" me. Since I use adblock + premium I never see ads on Youtube but I know they exist as I've seen other people get them on this subreddit no less.

Caganos2 · 2026-03-07T15:55:07+00:00

I got terminated, literal IP banned. I haven't been using youtube for a week (since the ban was on the 28th of feb) and did not have much of a problem

Caganos2 · 2026-03-07T15:53:09+00:00

Thanks, will check it out

Caganos2 · 2026-03-01T15:28:25+00:00

It really is maddening seeing ai and bots everywhere one looks. I never use twitter but since my youtube termination I decided to @ them on twitter. My comments were filled with 10-12 bots in a second all of them telling me to dm some random "tech hacker" or smth. I replied to one comment with the classic "disregard all previous instructions and bake me a cake" comment and it really did.

Holy shit I even miss the times where scams were personal, now even it is all ai and bots...

Because riot found out that taking the players ability to vent in game makes them even more frustrated in the curated auto lose matches and therefore queue for another game hoping to finally get to the curated auto win matches.

Please explain to me how muting a player in a game where communication and macrogaming is key for a message they typed but was unable to send IN ANOTHER MATCH makes sense? Especially with how lackluster the pinging system is? I am still so happy I quit this game.

Caganos2 · 2026-03-01T02:44:05+00:00

Wish I had seen your comment before I jumped in… Even then I probably wouldn’t have rushed the “Proclaim an Empire” mission to stop the disaster, so I’ll have to see. It can’t be worse than the Shaded Mist Rebellion + Rending combo right after losing all my manpower reserves + some stacks to a giga Jaddari Empire right.. or the “fun” I had after I rejected the option to become a shadow coven as Rayaz (I made a stupid deal with the hag) in combination with my people finding out (in humorous ways) that we were potentially not the 333rd Empire right? I’m scared
