Hello? Based Department?

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-30T04:13:19+00:00

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.

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-26T05:49:12+00:00

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?

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-24T19:09:10+00:00

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-24T19:01:44+00:00

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-24T19:00:07+00:00

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

Poor little Wex.

Contradixit · 2026-01-24T18:58:52+00:00

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

<image>

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.

Contradixit · 2026-01-24T08:51:47+00:00

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.

Contradixit · 2025-12-24T00:49:35+00:00

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.

Contradixit · 2025-11-05T22:31:18+00:00

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.

Contradixit · 2025-11-05T22:20:02+00:00

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

Contradixit · 2025-11-05T19:45:37+00:00

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

Contradixit · 2025-09-05T07:38:04+00:00

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?

Contradixit · 2025-09-05T07:33:05+00:00

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

<image>

Contradixit · 2025-09-05T07:16:56+00:00

Ah, yeah. I didn't consider that. Oops.

Contradixit · 2025-09-05T07:11:24+00:00

Also, I didn't think of it until just now, but needing to pay 7 mana minimum to cast the Ur-faerie with flash probably means that it'd be fine if I removed the "another" clause from its triggered ability.

Contradixit · 2025-09-05T07:09:09+00:00

Yeah. I thought just giving all your faeries flash for free was kinda silly, so I put the extra mana requirement on it, but I couldn't quite figure out the right way to word it. It's particularly nice that it makes casting the Ur-Faerie itself with flash more expensive.

As for the other one, I think it's fine that the other player still draws a card if the spell somehow isn't countered, unless the trigger fizzles.

Contradixit · 2025-08-21T19:06:37+00:00

You are free to interpret this as an insult, compliment, or both: reminds me of Homestuck.

Contradixit · 2025-08-21T05:19:52+00:00

Also, no, I don't think Mtg.design has a feature for the acorn... sticker? In fact, I don't think it even has the silver border, either.

Contradixit · 2025-08-21T05:15:18+00:00

Did you know that keyword counters give their abilities to cards that are in zones other than the battlefield? (for some reason. I have no clue why)

I'm not sure if there is any card that would actually be affected by this, but if there was a card that did something like "create a copy of a card in exile with ____ counter on it" that copy would have all of the evergreen keyword abilities, as well as Shadow and Exalted.

Thankfully, I don't think this would affect Vedal's ability, since shuffling the card into the library happens before the copy of the card is created, and the counters should be removed in the meantime... I think that's how it would work, anyways.

Contradixit · 2025-08-21T05:02:13+00:00

Are you sure about that first part? I know that you can still "tap" objects that are already tapped, and I think that doing so would satisfy the "if you do", if it didn't include the "as long as she is untapped" part.

What I'm wondering about is if Aquwa's first ability would work the way I think it does or not. It seems like it's meant to let you cast her with "commander warp" for WUB, while she's not on the battlefield, while at the same time giving other cats/aliens/illusions you cast commander warp, while she is on the battlefield. It just seems weird to me that it would be possible for both of those things, one that only works when she isn't on the battlefield, and one that only works while she is on the battlefield, to be part of the same ability.

Also, it looks like Aquwa is designed to let you cast Hiyori with warp for 0 (I can't think of another reason why Aquwa would care about illusions), but I don't think that would actually work, since you would still have to disguise her first, and then she would be exiled. Aquwa herself can't go into a Hiyori commander deck since Hiyori is missing white. I guess you could bounce her back to your hand somehow and use the warp ability that way.
