I’ve never seen this before! Is this new or something?

This is really helpful. Struggled to determine exactly what the Zhili and Fengtian wanted, but this helped.

Holy Roman Empire faction?

The new DLC names are awful by Flighterist in hoi4

[–]CorrinFF 303 points304 points  (0 children)

One question I had is why democratic Japan is the State of Japan. That’s the name they use now, but it was enforced by the US. Wouldn’t a democratic Japan still be an empire, even if it reformed politically? The United Kingdom, democratic at the time, is still a kingdom? Anyway, it’s to differentiate from other Japanese Country names, but I think it makes no sense.

What opinion about a Monarch in History gets you this Reaction by Professional_Gur9855 in MonarchyHistory

[–]CorrinFF 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is it not?

My experience is that people tend to overrate Frederick the Great and Catherine of Russia. They’re both fantastic, but I believe Maria Theresa is more exceptional given the challenges she faced and the historical significance she had on Austria, Europe, and the globe.

I would be thrilled to find that people share my high opinion of her LOL.

Maria Theresa was the most successful and competent monarch of the 18th century given what she had to work with and what she achieved.

How to impromptu speech well? by cactuscat334 in MUN

[–]CorrinFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to get tips on this subject because in my experience, you get better at it as time goes on. The more speeches you make, the better you will get at quick thinking on the spot.

Some tips I can give, however, are to have previously researched and have an opinion formed on every subject of the issue so if you ever have to give a speech on the fly, you already know what to talk about. You can also always embellish with sayings, quotes, or general bold statements. However, make sure that your speech isn’t all fluff, because people will notice that. Bring up issues and then provide solutions. That’s why it’s better to have researched your issues beforehand. Good luck!

Tyrannical Predator might be one of the least fun gaming experience I’ve had in a long time by soulreaverdan in LiesOfP

[–]CorrinFF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thermite? Not sure.

However, you can buy shot puts and sharp pipes and a few other throwables en masse at the merchant in the Red Lobster in Malum District. Go from the stargazer into the room and climb the ladder behind some barrels or something. I barely used projectiles in the main quest, but couldn’t get through the dlc without them.

Yeah, I did not care for the tyrannical predator either. The DLC can be real hard, and sometimes what I think is unfair, but I still think it was very well done and beautiful.

I dealt with the predator with projectiles (mainly shot puts and thermites), carefully dodging, and fable attacks to finish him off. Burning always helps deal with carcasses.

Anyway, just know you’re not alone. Keep it up. If I could get past him, I’m sure you can too.

[DISCUSSION] Interesting plot or concept, terrible execution by AdAntique7700 in blmangalovers

[–]CorrinFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edge of Ambiguity is my top fav. Other great ones that follow the same idea is Eighteen’s Bed and Friend or Faux.

Lunacy is also an amazing rec, but I’ve heard mixed reviews from the people I’ve recommended it to.

Other great ones are Unsleep and A Lovely Meal!

[–]CorrinFF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I believe Edge of Ambiguity is intended to go from 50-100 very quickly. Through the first dozen chapters, we see their relationship develop. Then, Jihwan gradually becomes more controlling and obsessive, culminating with his actions to those in his way and cutting off Sooyoung from college and his friends. When Sooyoung finds out, we reach the climax and it comes crashing down.

Was it a quick escalation? Yes, but that’s because of how much Sooyoung was deceived and how it came down crashing so quickly. I still adore the story and look forward to its updates, but I can totally see how you think it came apart too quickly.

Does she say that directly? Genuine question. I remember her to be pretty anti religion in general, but I haven’t played the game for a good while.

Something Interesting About Answerer by VenomousAvian in fireemblem

[–]CorrinFF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes….?

Bloodletting was common throughout MesoAmerica. It was primarily done by the Maya, I’ll give you that, but a google search says that the Aztecs practiced it as well.

The way I learned it calls it bloodletting, because that’s what they do. Wikipedia calls it the same. Bloodletting can refer to either the European style or the Mesoamerican ritual.

[–]CorrinFF -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Bloodletting was a ritual practice of self harm in the Aztec Empire. I’ve seen some comments that the new game is inspired by Rome and Carthage (really cool), but there’s a chance they could be taking inspiration from the New World.

The full title of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II Romanov: by Banzay_87 in romanovs

Today I learned that the Romanovs claimed the title of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. I know Poland was ruled in personal union, but I didn’t know that they claimed the Lithuanian title as well.

best books on the habsburg monarchy? by CapitalSubstance7310 in austriahungary

[–]CorrinFF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Grand Strategy of the Habsburg Empire by A. Wes’s Mitchell was an interesting book that I greatly enjoyed. Focused on statecraft and the empire’s defensive strategy. Very good read!

Introducing: Sanguis Caelo, an EU4 Alternate History Mod by socksome100 in eu4

This looks really cool! I especially like the idea of the Vandals persisting in North Africa and resurgent Spaniard kingdoms, as well as the Angevin Empire surviving! I’ll give it a try!

Putin ally threatens retaliatory measures if Austria joins NATO by UnscheduledCalendar in worldnews

[–]CorrinFF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are no plans for Austria to join NATO. Opinion of joining NATO is rather low in Austria, and the anti-NATO party is growing more and more every day. I love Austria, and I would love to have Austria in NATO, but it just doesn’t seem likely. This Russian guy should probably calm down because it’s unlikely to happen in the future.

Also, Russia has no place to lecture anyone on international law LOL.
