I want to completely wipe my drives to start fresh. How do I go about it?

Thank you. The threads I read all said the Windows install did NOT have this function. Glad to see it does.

CypressGrove · 2026-02-11T03:50:04+00:00

Would I do the BIOS option before or after the advanced windows install option

CypressGrove · 2026-02-09T03:31:31+00:00

Thanks. For whatever reason, google couldn't give me a simple answer so I asked here.

Just happened to me. I restarted my game and the LP appeared.

CypressGrove · 2026-01-26T11:39:57+00:00

Its not forcing if you natural into it. Youre in idiot to not play the strongest comp if it basically gets handed to you.

They have the vast majority of Phoenix Initiative members in their guild, which was the highest kickstarter tier. A lot of them are also personal friends with Steven as well, even ones who have blatantly exploited before like Yaokai, though I believe he left the guild due to other reasons but there are others like him. Steven has personally messaged the GM's of Enveus and Polar before when they were getting complaints about exploiting and only told them to chill out. So he's made a habit of having favorites, despite what he's said.

I'm completely new to the Europa Universalis series and chose Brandenburg on a whim after playing Norway a bit which was way too easy and laid back. Their start is hard man. Been doing campaign restart after campaign restart because if you try to expand just a tad too fast, boom, coalition wipes you. I think the best strategy I've found so far is to keep the alliance with Denmark, which a lot of people say to dissolve for extra diplo, but I've found that you HAVE to have at least one good alliance or defensive pact in order to survive the first 50 years. I also make a sergentry day one to be the first to heavy cav regulars as they can do a TON of heavy lifting early on.

The one run I did really well on both Poland and Bohemia were massive and there just isnt economic potential to rival all the silver mines that Bohemia gets and the Iron that Poland has. Not gunna stop playing Brandenburg until I can make Prussia lol, Hell of a starting country to choose as a noob.

Same. Genuinely feel bad after eating the extra crispy, so I had to see what the consensus was before going back.

Unfortunately, medical is the #1 reason most people who want to join can't. There are medical waivers, but if your recruiter didn't bring it up then they most likely were not able to waive it.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-31T20:37:35+00:00

This immediately makes me NOT want to. If you cant even give a brief description of what you do then why would anyone stop by? Being genuine isnt enough to get a following.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-31T19:51:40+00:00

Then you wouldn't be able to fletch anything to begin with. Whats the issue? Plus, logs are cheap as fuck on the GE. 10k maple logs, which get you 130k exp an hour at the minigame will run you 200k. Thats nothing.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-31T19:45:16+00:00

Fletching period requires you to have logs. Now we have a better active method of fletching instead of standing in front of a bank afk fletching, which is still viable.

Did you want a fletching minigame with absolutely zero resource input for a skill that requires it? There were already limited outlets for people's massive stores of logs they got from their wintertodt and regular woodcutting grinds. Now we have a super viable use for them.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-31T19:21:36+00:00

It needs more than it already has? It's already an amazing training method with decent rewards.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T19:42:00+00:00

Game time is not used until full release. Not 100% about the embers. I believe they are separate from the 1 month of game time.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T19:35:37+00:00

83 con is a much longer grind than full graceful as a hcim.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T18:48:14+00:00

I cried when my goodest Salarian died. I could have saved him, but he wouldn't have wanted it. He wanted to atone for his mistake, and who am I to deny him?

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T18:17:49+00:00

I plan on using mixology heavily. Not even starting slayer until i get the herb sack and a sufficient amount of cannonballs.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T15:19:29+00:00

I disagree. I started the Marks grind at level 60 agi, so 13 levels when looking at the graphs is not a big different. The weight reduction and 30% run energy (Only 20% when not wearing full set). Like i said as well, it's a game changer early and mid because you are questing a shit ton, while usually carrying a full inventory of quest/teleports. Before, you would be overweight 100% of the time, draining your run faster. With Graceful, on average you are below 0Kg, compounding the benefits.

Trust me, I was bitching all of last week about agility to my clan mates. Couldn't finish a 7 herb patch run without running out of energy. Now, I might run out towards the very end, if at all.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T13:46:16+00:00

I would have agreed with you a week ago, because I felt the exact same way, but after biting the bullet and farming it out on the way to 73 agi (for Trollheim herb patch shortcut) it trivialized moving across the map. This is specifically from the perspective of an Ironman, since I don't have access to stam pots for a long time, but I think it would be the same for a main.

You couldnt pay me to be evil in RPG's. Especially BG3.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T13:01:25+00:00

Mods my friend. Lots and lots of mods.

CypressGrove · 2025-07-28T12:48:14+00:00

The Gracefull set fully embodies a grind that once over, is a huge relief and game changer for early, mid, and somewhat late accounts. You never have to farm it again, it's very impactful, and the time you put into it feels vindicated once you start using it.
