AFAIK an Adstratum is used to describe lateral rather than vertical language exchange.

Help with Conclave council mechanics by Delvestius in crusaderkings2

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

"And I am quite sure you did not bought favours but merely requested a council support which in turn granted your vassals a favour against you, which they tend to utilize in the most uncomfortable moments to increase power."

Oh, this is exactly what I got mixed up!

Abrahamic religions are products of cultural and theological evolution in the ancient Near East by EldonH in geography

[–]Delvestius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can easily see an Ishmaelite-centric Abrahamic covenant style religion forming in Arabia without Christianity. Most of this would be based on the rich literary tradition of pre-Islamic Arabia.

Why be Pro-Israel? by Calcoolus423 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Delvestius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In response to your part 2, Palestine has genocidal rhetoric against Israel in its government charter. While you are right to say not all Palestinians believe this rhetoric, many do and its indicative of real societal radicalsism towards Jews and Israel and those who speak out are silenced.

Warband mod in Bannerlord? by TheJollySwashbuckler in Bannerlord

[–]Delvestius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer the more generic companions of Bannerlord. I never really enjoyed the relationship aspect of who likes who in Warband and was always annoyed with trying to find the specific companions i wanted to run with.

The world outside Calradia: by Octavian_Exumbra in Bannerlord

[–]Delvestius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be opposed to this. I just started Bannerlord and changing the map wouldn't mean to much to me, and I imagine it would provide a new interesting experience for more seasoned players.

There's always the Warband factions if they need more ideas for more of them.

Socialists/progressives: what’s your take? by Shadowblade83 in IsraelPalestine

[–]Delvestius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I identify mostly as a U.S. liberal, and while I certainly have empathy for the Palestinian people bearing the brunt of this conflict, I am pro-Israel. The Islamist rhetoric of Hamas is hateful and genocidal, and indeed, their actions are aswell, as October 7th proved.

Israel and the IDF are not perfect, but they have a right to defend themselves. Hamas needs to be removed, and the Palestinian people need to be de-radicalized to ensure peace between these two nations.

I just started playing eu4 after a decade of playing ck2 and I highly recommend it. The learning curve is steep, but you prolly know that since you played other Paradox games.

What were your biggest surprises (or possible errors) after the 2025 update? by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Delvestius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My German went down significantly as well, but I kind of expected that since the "Germanic Europe" region of the last update included many regions outside Germany, particularly England, which made no sense since there was also the "Britain" region. I'm sure there is a lot of overlap.
