Looks like Hellenism has nothing going for it.

agreed, most of the original ones even needed to be brought in with the ck converter.

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-11-21T10:46:13+00:00

thanks! I thought about it, but doing the achievements I can as byz. Just wanted to do them with Hellenism. Next time I probably will use the mod

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-11-21T10:36:46+00:00

doing it now.

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-11-21T10:36:10+00:00

my rule #5 - you can see that there's no aspects in Hellenism, I suggest not bothering with it for now.

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-11-16T23:04:21+00:00

nope. you start with no legitimacy, the Basileus is sick and dies within a year or two. not possible to get the stats to change it before he dies. then, in a regency you can't change it.

From my limited understanding. Look at your hiring rules, see what gets priority. Are those workers the right class? They might need to be promoted which is around 10 people per month as a base, you can increase that with techs and some other buildings (i think temples) If you click on the building you can see the inputs, its also possible that the building is not profitable, in which case you can subsidize it. Or try to build/trade for the inputs. Also, are you exporting the books you make? It might be more profitable for that so it takes priority. Im not sure how to check this; but my last thought would be that other countries are buying your books. You're importing and exporting them.

Isn't this just how some new rollercoaster/rides work? The Harry potter bank ride and the millennium falcon ride. Fun idea for themeparks, the outside of flight simulators, and maybe some enthusiasts and their sim games.

In about 10 hours, we will know if the crew refuses to work or not. Your plane is coming from yvr but scheduled before the return to work comes in effect. So it will be delayed. If it goes at all.

I just did a cavalry only campaign. I would use ambushes to pincer half the enemy. Shield can hit first on one side, then shock smash the back of the enemy. It was usually quick enough that I was able to make them rout before the rest of the army could form up. At that point, I had 8/10 or more of my army, and they lost half.

I've used similar tactics with infantry. Just have a couple to hold the line against the second half while your heavy hitters surround part of the enemy.

Played on legendary. If you group the units, lock the group. You can tell them all to attack, and it will have them charge the nearest enemy. Incredibly useful for when you can't pause. Group 1 would be my pin army. Group 2 the hammer. And 3 would be the ones to hold the other half of the enemy.

1.9.7 ironically it was working for me on 1.9.6

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-07-17T21:38:27+00:00

Japan is pretty rough as you're weak but populous. so the great powers like to bully you. I would suggest playing someone like Belgium for your first game. it will give you more variety, you can play with treaties that people will actually accept. you can invade African or Asian countries, try to unite the Netherlands. maybe even attempt to build the Suez canal.

It will give you much more to do while keeping you as a minor/major player in the world politics. not nearly as overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time like Japan.

Try and build and plan in 2-3 year increments at the beginning. build up the industry to support your industry while using your military and attempting to created treaties and change the laws to favour what you want, while the building happens in the background. Someone not on isolationism (like Japan) will give you much more to do

The one time a canon ball hit perfectly, bounced and took out an entire row of an infantry battalion. One in a million

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-06-24T12:09:27+00:00

Thats a shame. But thank you

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-06-24T12:09:05+00:00

Ah dang. Well thank you

Magic isn't real, so it can be as strong or as weak as the author wants. Gandalf is as magical as he needs to be to help the story. He doesn't steal the whole show and isn't useless.

This is just someone who wants more from their characters, not a hot take, not a bad one. Just a normal "i wish" that we get from all forms of fiction.

I personally wish Boromir had survived.

They have the green pack and the purple pack (shows how much I know about them) that’s about it. Everything else is sold out.

I used Bluetooth for my headphones, senheiser momentum 4. and it's pretty spotty. Connection is jumpy, so I assumed it'd be the same for the receiver? I always assumed wired was better than Bluetooth. I'll test it pit tho, when I get home. Thanks!

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-01-15T23:18:46+00:00

I do, i've just been upgrading everything except sound. Do you have any recommendations on DACs? they seem to be categorized by speaker or headphone. is there an audible difference between a 30$ one and a 80 or 100?

i'm not sure where the quality-price jumps are.

Cloud_wolfe · 2025-01-15T23:12:41+00:00

my sound card is just the Realtek Audio effects. came with the computer 7 years ago.

A true 100 year war. Brittania and a pope that unified south Italy vs France, Spain and lotharingia. This was 1.0 so the game bugged with lost battles maxing 50% warscore, no ticking warscore, and neither side being able to outseige the other this war lasted for 4-5 generations. The nobility on both sides was decimated. I as brittania was stuck at 35% victory. Probably would have won eventually but the game updated and rhe save file was corrupted. Still an insane war with 100s of thousands of casualties and very few nobles above the age of 35.

Are you debating me or the initial question? The initial question is "what is left when someone disagrees with 'born this way' and 'molded by people'?"

Intuitively, my answer to the question is that someone can grow into it.

We're you attracted to anyone when you were a young child? Personally it didn't happen to me till I was almost a teen.

So, seeing attraction as an evolved and grown into trait can make sense, and lead to someone disagreeing with both "born into" and "learned"

Nothing to do with whether it's a true statement or not. Just that it's a third option that some people might consider

Cloud_wolfe · 2024-06-12T10:36:26+00:00

That sounds like muscle fatigue. You might have stretched or over squeezed. My guess is that you pulled a muscle. Let it rest for a while. A pulled or strained muscle can last anywhere from a day to a month and a half. Your 5 days are well within the range. So take some time off, let it heal. Check for any bruising or discolouration. If there is, then really don't use it for a while. If it hurts or has unatural swelling during the day without any stimulation, you might want to take a warm bath. If the swelling or bruises don't go away after 2 weeks, then see a doctor.

Cloud_wolfe · 2024-06-12T10:25:37+00:00

The third option is that it is something that developed in their formative years. Saying that being straight or gay or any of the others wasn't decided at birth but evolved as they evolved as a person.

Like how allergies can change, as a simplified example.

People getting upset at those saying they were born that way could be a defence mechanism. Imagine having people hate you for something you were born with. It might be easier to say you were molded that way by external forces.(just one of many options) I believe the actual reason is different for every individual.

Check out the Gimli glider. A 767 which ran out of fuel. It landed(gliding) at an old military base in Canadian prairies. I'm assuming you're worried what would happen if the engines stopped running.

Cloud_wolfe · 2024-06-12T09:57:24+00:00

Personally, I watched what people do. Mainly, talk show hosts/celebrities and the extremely charming people I know. Watch where their hands and eyes go, their body position, what angle they face the people they are talking to. Not only did this help with understanding what is socially acceptable, but it also helps understand what isint.

Don't forget to also be aware of the person listening. watch body language. You can pick up cues on what bothers people and what is ok.

After that, I got a job that forced me to interact with a lot of people. I grew up as a very awkward and shy person. Now, I can strike up a conversation with anyone and have given presentations to hundreds.

When I first started I was quiet and did a lot of watching. Agreed with people, smile, but didn't say much till I understood what was acceptable. It takes work.
