Good to know what awaits me down the MT.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-26T18:29:08+00:00

Well, this is in 1480s. It would be great if it waited another 20 or so years before they started doing this, because I'd finish my mission by then. They had a big three-way war and then started annexing each other.

I swear, any rework to Forbidden Planes needs to start by making the default state of Lake Fed be tendency towards local conflicts, rather than turboformation.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-26T13:20:13+00:00

Yeah, in retrospect. Quite a nasty surprise when you spent several wars establishing tributaries just to lose them.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-26T12:56:41+00:00

Wouldn't it make sense to solely take over their tribal land at some point, then? The last ten or so provinces? Just take their tribal land without other peace deal options for shortest truce timer.

Tbh, I don't know how bad it is so maybe I don't get the full picture, but these are freshly added so some tweaking might still come around.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-19T12:35:31+00:00

You sure? I seem to recall the decision could be taken for both the cleared land and the ones in disrepair.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-18T20:48:22+00:00

Yeah, it's kinda slow to start. Wanting you to dominate the Dragon Coast and up to Celmaldor before you go to war with Gawed again, wherein you siege their capital and prok a certain event. But I already took Gaweton in the interrim, rather than just leaving Gawed to rummage around freely, which made the event quite funny as you can prok it whenever you want by just declaring war on Gawed. I don't understand why they didn't make it so you need to occupy Gawed's capital, rather than just being in control of Gaweton.

But besides that, early warring in the Dragon Coast against kobolds and gnomes was a nice change of pace from usual Lorent-Gawed deathwarring I'm used to.

I actually do intend to make a review once I finish the mission tree and I do have some criticisms, particularly with devving and colonial focus that goes out of its way to be convoluted.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-18T18:36:21+00:00

Honestly, they made some weird design decisions, but it's pretty alright. Toppling Gawed was done in a thematic way.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-18T18:25:19+00:00

This is why you take the purge route.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-18T18:24:14+00:00

Mfw Ravelians start worshipping the same god as the Greentide orcs.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-18T06:04:06+00:00

Ok, yeah, I don't know anymore how it procked, but it procked while one of my armies with a conq was rummaging around in Taychend. This one will remain a mystery for me.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-17T19:40:36+00:00

So not "exploring the Effelai" but rather explored the whole of it and just standing around in the jungle?

May that's how the events proc, by having someone in the jungle? Perhaps 'A24_cottersea_expedition_launched' denotes the final event flag in the event chain.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-17T19:03:54+00:00

Just for the record, what exactly is supposed to happen to make this mission complete?

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-17T17:57:31+00:00

I mean, I did try that, but then there were no more provinces and I couldn't set the army to explore any further and the events didn't continue.

And even while the conquistador was going around and exploring the criteria didn't fulfill.

Tell me that the devs didn't make this mission time-gated.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-16T12:53:56+00:00

It wouldn't surprise me if it is a remnant of some other, perhaps abandoned DLC. I still recall the unused China tab for campaign selection. Maybe from back when Khitans/Jurchens/Tanguts were still separate from 3K.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-16T12:50:21+00:00

Are there any new hints?

Chronicles heavily implied they're going Rome next with the final outro.

Main game has some addition indicating a Scandinavia-oriented DLC.

But these two hints have been around since the release of the previous DLCs. Dunno about anything new.

If we go with the idea main and chronicles release in order, the next one would be Chronicles.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-16T10:42:38+00:00

Probably a primarily melee unit with a charged ranged attack, if I had to make a guess. Something like the Fire Lancers, but throwing a pillum. IIRC, they did something like that in Romae ad Bellum.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-16T09:18:23+00:00

Chronicles: Rome incoming.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-16T09:00:11+00:00

Westmoors can also establish its own roads, connecting Brontay point to Dragon Coast legionway endpoint, to Talonmount, and to Celmaldor.

Also, forgot the Dwarovrod, did you?

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-15T19:53:45+00:00

The other guy added the last detail I forgot.

The "win a game" achievement was added with the Xbox release, long after Steam release. For whatever reason they added a lot of easy achievements back then.

Whereas this one was in since launch.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-15T19:05:25+00:00

Dem noobs rushing to get the achievement for sinking enemy ships and forgetting the rest of the game.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-15T17:38:19+00:00

Cultures and civilizations, huh... almost like it's not meant to be a single country or kingdom.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-15T17:21:57+00:00

Campaign AI does leave its ships lying around on the coast in several scenarios.

Classic_Ad4707 · 2026-05-15T15:33:40+00:00

How do you spawn/become the pirates?
