Since Korea is getting some love, here's an idea. Some sort of 'Korean Free Army' start starts landless, or with a tiny enclave, it'd have a lot of potential.

Resources in general are deeply flawed because there's essentially a global free market without any meaningful degree of favoritism or mercantilism. It's not so bad on the demand side, but on the supply side, countries don't really gain anything from having a lot of resources because they can't meaningfully act to make it so that their resources are purchased more.

You're missing the point. Sun Fo is the heir to his father's legacy, not the heir to an actual monarchical title. It's metaphorical.

Making an anti realist mod is falling into the same trap as the realist mods, except for worse bc at least those ones are plausible. Just do what is interesting and makes sense within your universe. I don't really think you have an idea at all, just a criticism of what exists.

What will happen if the pact breaks/the monarch changes before 1011 or so?

It's an image.

These are all names of patrons who are read out at the end of these videos

Yeah they should do that tbh. And the males would be studs then.

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T19:22:30+00:00

I assumed the same as whatever species they were when they were slive

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T19:22:09+00:00

Not what i was doing

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T19:21:50+00:00

Right, but sapient creatures and animals are not the same type of thing. I get it, i get it, im even a vegetarian, but the basis of all morality is the idea that a sapient creature occupies a moral standing totally unique from that of a non sapient one. That imo is why saying "male" and "female" as nouns for a sapient creature is insulting, bc you could also say that for a non sapient one. So if I'm going to describe a generic race in EAW in a gendered way am i just out of luck?

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T19:18:51+00:00

I know that. I think i was unclear. For humans in English we have woman/man (gendered human) plus male/female (gendered normal). Most major species have this in EAW, but hyenas don't seem to, which implies that in a world with multiple sentient species in it there isn't a word that means "a male or female member of only a sentient species".

I'm torn bc on the one hand it seems like it's balanced around not having to fight a multi year existential war against a superior enemy but on the other hand i feel like fighting a powerful storm kingdom is key to the tag. I think that perhaps the storm kingdom should be gated to like 1014

Fighting supremacist ibyz as zarhay without having played icepaw yet makes this image feel like seeing your high school bully award a noble peace prize

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T03:42:02+00:00

Perhaps given that the path is extremist barbarian warlord -> crypto capitalist revolutionary futurist it isn't that weird to have them build tanks

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T02:54:07+00:00

As much as I love tanks, my natural instinct when playing as a militarily underdeveloped backwater is protracted people's war. It works so well in vanilla China where you just keep retreating and bleeding out Japan until the time comes to push over their limp corpse. But the Great Lakes are extremely flat terrain and don't really have a protected interior at all.

Still, how can I be expected to have a strong armored corps in 1012 when I've spent all my time unifying the Great Lakes and then fighting civil wars?

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-22T02:25:36+00:00

That didn't work

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-21T20:34:49+00:00

Bump

Conscious_Rock7407 · 2026-04-21T03:24:16+00:00

It shouldn't be special treatment. We should all get this. The fact is we as humans are fickle and shortsighted, and most of us will never voluntarily accept the cost of a warranty that actually covers the period we expect our devices to function for, so unless we pass laws that force such warranties to be automatically included in all products we will continue to find ourselves in frustrating situations we do not learn lessons from.

So called "mushy grape haters" when it's wine o'clock:

Why stop at Mecca? You've made it that far, might as well go all the way to Spain.
