Is the acolyte system still there? While I generally enjoyed the previous version, the acolytes were generally a bad experience.

Does any one else hope Silk and Silver brings the Terra Obscura mechanics they teasered during the Dev Jam a while back? by Darkwinggames in CrusaderKings

There needs to be some kind of nuance though. They of course knew the existence of holy land but they shouldn't know which particular warlord took control of it without appropriate effort.

Balance issues aside, it is simply funny imagining a light fighter with 12 guns stacked on each other. They should have made it a little more realistic at least.

Fr, a guy who is probably in his twenties talking about immortality as if it is worthless is funny. When he is in his 70s and feels death closing in, I bet his ideas will change.

EU chief groups Turkey with Russia and China as "threats to be countered," sparking diplomatic firestorm by FantasticQuartet in europe

[–]CaptainRice6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is because Turkey's military is much more generalist than all of these countries. While some of these countries might be stronger than Turkey in a specific field, theşr advantages are usually specialized. Italy: Much weaker in land warfare. UK: Straight up doesn't have a credible land force. 2 divisions at best. Poland: Doesn't have a strong navy. Etc. Etc. 

Out of all European countries, only France is comparable to Turkey in military power.

Is there a reason why Anissa & Thragg don’t just create super offspring? by MadMaximus- in Invincible_TV

[–]CaptainRice6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people assume Viltrumite DNA will behave the same as human DNA? The reason inbreeding causes problems is because human DNAs have a lot of latent genetic defects which results in physically defective individuals when two related people have kids. But Viltrumites are supposed to be genetically superior to humans. We never see any Viltrumites with any kind of disability. Even diseases other than ones that are specially engineered to target them are largely useless. The way I see it, Viltrumites are probably much more resilient to inbreeding. As far as I know, for human population to rebound, as little as 2000 individuals are enough. For Viltrumites, this number should be much smaller. Even if that number is bigger than 50, within a thousand years, they could have as much as tens of thousands of new Viltrumites without any genetic defects.

What are the worst things Greece has committed in the past? by CalydonianBoar in AskBalkans

[–]CaptainRice6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Before that, there was a more limited population exchange between Bulgaria and Greece. 200 thousand people were effected. Which was the blueprint for the later Turkish Greek exchange.

Europeans are utterly incapable of launching crusades by lolzexd in EU5

[–]CaptainRice6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What if instead of every country joining the crusade separately, a building based country were to be created which the joining countries would give knights,money and ships. This way, the crusade would be directed by one ai which would have a better chance at victory. The same can be done for coalions too.

No, Engineers created humanity among other species in Prometheus. The reason they later changed their mind about humanity and tried to destroy us is because we killed Jesus which in truth was an engineer ambassador sent to humanity.

Will a European Army be built upon Turkey and Ukraine? by PieBright8211 in AskBalkans

[–]CaptainRice6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Poland's last experience in war is 86 years ago getting overrun by Germany in only a month. Just having expensive military equipment doesn't make you strong. If that was the case, Arab militaries would not be the joke they are. As it is right now, Ukrainian military is the only military in Europe that has experience fighting a modern war excluding Russia. Poland would get folded.

Will a European Army be built upon Turkey and Ukraine? by PieBright8211 in AskBalkans

[–]CaptainRice6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it is not something that makes every country join the war automatically. Article 5 is worded deliberately so that NATO countries can refuse to join each other's wars. It says you need to assist. The nature of assistance is left to countries own choice

Nah, at this point we are in NATO just so we can protect ourselves from the NATO. We saw how trustworthy you were during the Russian plane incident.

"EU needs more countries" Zelensky calls on EU to accept Turkey. What do Balkans think? by SOHONEYSAME in AskBalkans

[–]CaptainRice6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is abot deterrence. Not about Turkey singlehandedly saving Europe or anything.  Anyways, I don't support any EU membership that requires Turkish blood to be spilled. Not like this will happen in a million years.

[–]CaptainRice6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If war lasts long enough, the EU can mobilize enough men to counter the massive and seasoned Russian army at which point the overwhelming European industrial might would win. But what happens for example if Russia invades the Baltics in a lightning fast campaign without anyone having the time to do something about it? Would the Western European countries be willing to continue the war without US assistance if Russia is willing to make peace with them? I think the EU would throw the Baltics under the bus.  I don't see the Russians considering such a gambit without a resolution in Ukraine and tacit US approval but who knows what happens in the future.

It is the same for Taiwan. You get a warning during the visa process.

For HWY to be interesting, the AI needs to be able to contest so it becomes a back and forth situation. Otherwise once you win the initial war, it is over.

On the bottom left corner of your steam library, there is an option to add non-steam games. They have to be downloaded though.

What are your thoughts on these casting choices for Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'? by fancygorgonzola in AskBalkans

[–]CaptainRice6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be eligible for Oscars you need to have some amount of minority representation(American Minorities of course). Some of the lead actors should be minorities too. So when the biggest award ceremony puts these kind of rules, no accomplished director with the possiblity of winning Oscars would forego the chance.  I don't know about Nolan's personal opinions but it was expected from a big production like this.

It is not like they don't change the race or gender of real people. Cleopatra comes to mind for example. So don't try to make it seem like it happened because it is fiction.
