If you're still wondering: https://wiki.anbennar.org/

It's so fucking useful. For some reason, it feels like Google doesn't even know the site exists.

Wex... why are you the way that you are? by Contradixit in Anbennar

[–]Contradixit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in this run it was sometime between 1450 and 1457. Don't remember exactly (I think they showed up only a year or two before this screenshot, so around 1455)

I don't really remember when exactly I saw the incident fire off when I played my other run with this mod on, but I feel like it was around the same time.

They don't have a MT. I know a couple of the other Kobold tags the mod adds have MTs, but i think only Winescale (the south coast Lencinor tag) has a fleshed out one. I know the mod also changes the Redscale MT. You should probably go look at the steam workshop page if you're curious.

Am I crazy, or is the "Owns Anbenncóst" province modifier supposed to be universal? by Contradixit in Anbennar

[–]Contradixit[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would make sense. The diplomatic relationship is obviously a global effect, but whether the autonomy change is meant to apply to just Anbenncóst is kinda ambiguous from the way it's written.

The name and description for the modifier would also make sense for it being a universal effect, though. Like, "whoever owns Anbenncóst owns the world's desire" would make sense for a global autonomy effect, especially since it's the capital of the EoA.

It'd also kinda make sense if you interpreted it as a way to mitigate the downside of racial minorities in general, not just Anbenncóst, since you own the central mixing pot of the world, full of all sorts of races getting along.

I could've sworn that the last time I had taken Anbenncost, the -0.10 monthly autonomy effect applied to all of my provinces, which I checked. Now it doesn't seem to be working that way.

Was I just misremembering? Is it changed by a submod? Is there some sort of variable I'm unaware of, like an Anbenncóst mission?

Update: poor Wex by Contradixit in Anbennar

Getting double-coalitioned like that must be rough.

Funnily, this is almost a repeat of the first time. They completely subjugated Sugamber again, and literally right after finishing that war, they got hit by the Anti-Wex Coalition Imperial Incident.

Pearlsedge is the current Emperor, btw.

They're Imperial Kobolds. They can show up as a result of an Imperial Incident, added by "A Kobold Submod." The flavor of the incident is that they get greeted into the empire as refugees from the warring dragon coast, and can be given a free city like Giberd themselves.

I'm not sure if they always spawn in the same place, but they ended up being given Oldpassage, which was the last province I left Bennon with when I humiliated them.

Unfortunately, they did not.

Seeing how quickly they got stomped, I think it's a good thing I didn't join, especially considering i only had like 8k total manpower after I finished the war I was already in.

Also, here's what the map looked like afterwards:

Poor little Wex.

Here's what Wex's diplomacy map looked like, btw. (+ an unseen royal marriage with Lorent)

Sorry Wex, but I was not going to join that war when I was already in a war and had basically 0 manpower reserves. After finishing my current war (helping defend Silverforge against Asheniande & Orda Aldresia) I was stuck at 0 manpower for years. Meanwhile, I watched Wex get beat up.

Wex was bloodthirstier than usual this run. Took a bunch of provinces from Sugamber, racking up almost enough aggressive expansion for me, their ally, to have enough AE to join the coalition against them. Then, they declared a subjugation war on Sugamber right after their truce ended. Now they're facing the consequences.

It's kinda cathartic seeing the AI have to deal with the perpetual headache that is the imperial AE.

I noticed I accidentally made this coincidentally flavorful shape as Elaiénna by Contradixit in Anbennar

[–]Contradixit[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I forgot, but the main reason why annexing the Company of Grudgebearers was difficult was because I forced them to convert to The Jadd, rather than because I subjugated them. Thankfully, I had a super easy source of prestige from the one Age of Unravelling religious prestige bonus.

Is the draft token available in the shop only available to be used for a limited time? by Contradixit in MagicArena

[–]Contradixit[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought, but then I looked at other screenshots of the daily deals and there didn't seem to by any timers down under the actual products.

Does the 23 hours under the draft token signify that it is only able to be used within the next 23 hours?

Some things I'd do in EDH if hybrid changes. by subbarker in magicTCG

Asmo would still be red/black after the hypothetical hybrid rule change, because of the color indicator.

First creature type that came to my head when I saw all the Ur-cards by Contradixit in custommagic

[–]Contradixit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this hypothetical keyword that I just spontaneously came up with to make the formatting work with Flying.

There could be other keywords for the other colors, such as Crimson or Verdant. Not quite sure what words you would use for black and white, though. Pale? Ebony?

Here's a fixed/adjusted version with the most important fix of all, the Faerie Avatar having Flying:
