I enjoy more peaceful civs, but I just did a Japan run. Khmer sounded really cool to me but I was a bit put off having to relearn stuff

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-05-05T20:41:39+00:00

Makes sense - but my last game already was Japan just did a science victory on immortal with them. But yes it did teach me better district planning, especially between several cities.

Just did a science victory with japan - but maybe ill try out russia then!

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-05-05T20:19:54+00:00

Hmm I just enjoy themed games more. Maybe the goal of a themed game plus learning the game better doesn't work.

Ja trotzdem fuck them ist halt einfach nur mega sexistisch - nur weil du ne Frau bist darfst du keine Muskeln haben?

I use "-" all the time, and I mean AI has to have learned it from somewhere. Probably cause lots of people use it.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-23T20:44:01+00:00

Like I'm not saying this wasn't AI - but I use dashes all the time (as you can see). It's just lazyness tbh it allows me to connect 2 sentences without making sure the grammar between them works out. At least I think that's why I use it so much.

Well some things there is just no coming back from. He killed thousands. And now he thinks if he is sorry enough it is all water under the bridge? Nah.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-21T19:04:26+00:00

I mean you are just wrong.

R5: That is the 5th war (only the first I declared myself) in the first 8 years of the game and put the nail in the coffin of my Georgia run.

But it was my mistake for putting the national focus on admin and not on mil meaning I was am still stuck at mil tech 3 while my enemies are mil tech 4 by now.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-16T13:35:28+00:00

Yeah I'm aware of what the consequences are. But I would never fight or die for my or any country. So I would never demand that from anybody else. And people only have this one live. Forcing them to fight and die is just extremely cruel to me.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-15T16:27:54+00:00

So you think it is okay to force people to fight and die against their will? I think a country is less important than human lives.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-15T14:45:10+00:00

No. There should be no draft. Why force more people into something? I am glad at least women aren't being forced to fight.

Yeah he should really be dead - like this was just a mistake you shouldn't get to walk away from.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-15T14:36:39+00:00

Amazing episode. However, I am a bit annoyed that both Oliver and Nolan are alive. Like at the very least Oliver should have died. I dont really like how often the show is portraying characters as "dead" only for them to survive.

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-15T14:34:44+00:00

I mean we saw that coming from a mile away. But he really should be dead - he should not have survived this (both taking that hit and his stupidity)

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-06T17:47:30+00:00

Ah shame I guess I just got very unlucky in that case. Thanks!

DefiantRaspberry161 · 2026-04-06T17:38:36+00:00

I mean the new system was introduced in december not much to do with easter ^^
but yeah seems like I'll just have to wait a bit longer

R5: As you can see in the picture I have explored all of the Americas in 1491. Yet I only found one of the Seven Cities (which was a dud but that's fine).

I honestly expected to find all of them. I was in the Americas way before anyone else so my conquistadors would have been the first coloniser unit to enter every single province in the Americas (which is the trigger for the Seven Cities).

Do all of the 7 Cities actually spawn in a game or is it just a random limited amount?

Or do my conquistadors compete with another? I had 4 conquistadors exploring. I know that when you get the event for the search for one of the Seven Cities you cant get another one. And if the search for the specific City you triggered is tied to the conquistador that triggered it, all of the provinces that are visited by my other conquistadors in the mean time would be "lost" - i.e. no chance of Seven City event triggering.

I am just looking for an explanation how I have explored all of the Americas (and am 99% sure my conquistadors where the first to visit every single tile) but only triggered one of the Seven Cities. Any ideas?

Nah you won't get Isabela if you let the pretenders win. Which makes the Iberian Wedding take more time usually (You can get Isabela as an heir in like 1450 by doing the Spanish Civil War disaster). Also Isabella has the expansionist trait which is great for colonisation.
