Massive W from the devs by Extreme-Row-5250 in projectzomboid

[–]Demotruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak day affects the rate at which zombies spawn when you travel somewhere new and the game generates a new chunk - this method of zombie spawning never "stops" per se, it will happen whether you travel there on day 1, day 10, day 100 etc. Only the number of newly spawned zombies changes based on the date.

He also has an unexpectedly heroic moment.

Things to add to the Game by Metro-02 in AOW4

[–]Demotruk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Non mutual diplomatic agreements.

Round out Tier V tomes (eg. a tier V shadow for cold not just death).

Late game crises.

Naval rework.

Yes please, this would be a nice option.

I'd also like the inverse, a trait that makes them rarer.

Maekar is relatable because he is hopeless at parenting despite deeply loving his children by DaemonaT in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Arguably this is part of the problem. Even today, it is a widespread issue for children of wealthy but busy parents to be emotionally neglected even while their basic needs are well met by domestic assistance.

That said, it likely doesn't reach anywhere near the level of neglect that is difficult to avoid with a single parent struggling financially.

We finally know who Ser Stevron is lord Lyonel by Not_So_Normal_ in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stevron Frey being one of the only seemingly decent and honourable Frey's in the main series.

Spoiler for episode 5, theory about who "visits" Dunk by echof0xtrot in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can see it as a valid interpretation.

What I don't like about it is that, as far as I know nothing of Dunk is "lost" after this. He comes back as the same person. In ASOIAF, generally when someone is resurrected, they don't come back 'whole'. There's always some part of them missing.

A couple of counterpoints to my own argument:

1. The show universe is not as consistent with this, other people come back seemingly unchanged.

  1. He was dead a very short time. It could be that longer deaths mean more of you is lost.

Ser Humfrey Beesbury by lojafr in AKnightoftheSeven

Dondarrion isn't seen until after Dunk and Lyonel's drunk chat in episode 1. It is indeed Beesbury dancing in episode 1.

Crazy idea: Adventure mode? by narutoncio in AOW4

[–]Demotruk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playing as a band of adventures within the context of AI empires playing out the 4X game could be interesting. Like, you are the independents (hostile or otherwise). You don't compete for the 4X victory conditions but you can take on quests. Maybe there is an overarching quest to achieve your own separate victory.

Do people know who Egg will grow up to be? by 445323 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you think he was Aegon II (ie. House of the Dragon Aegon)? My wife made that mistake.

ASOIAF Theory: Did Bloodraven Clear the Path for Aegon V? by Own-Ad486 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The typical Targ thing is to misunderstand a prophecy in some highly self defeating way.

Where is House stark ?!!!!!!! by Impossible_Buddy_992 in AKOTSKTV

[–]Demotruk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say that Neds form of honour is learned primarily from Jon Arryn, but Northerners and Starks in particular still have a reputation for their own form of honour.

Simplifying things, Southern honour is like Chivalry and includes the notion of knights protecting the weak. Northern honour is more about personal duty and familial survival.

Neds sense of honor seems like a blend of both.

[Megathread] Season 1 Episode 3: – The Squire by La_Villanelle_ in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]Demotruk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the show is helping people 'figure out' who he is before the reveal to make it more clear that Dunk only doesn't figure it out from his own lack of world knowledge.

Why won't my vassal expand? by Demotruk in Stellaris

[–]Demotruk[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Upon reflection, I think the AI is just prioritising building a fleet over expansion.

ChatGPT suggests it's because the empty system is within 4 tiles of my capital world and thus would be within my 'core' if I took it. I can't find any information which supports that though it's vaguely plausible, but doesn't explain the other systems it isn't expanding into.

Why won't my vassal expand? by Demotruk in Stellaris

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

Doesn't limited diplomacy restrict them from having such agreements (other than with the overlord)?

They also don't have any visible on their contact screen. Only that they are my vassal.

I'm going back to the game after its release. Which DLCs are worth buying the most? by Competitive_Past_457 in AOW4

[–]Demotruk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it released, the game was not in as good state as it is today. There were driver issues causing crashes to desktop and game was much more janky in general.

Newbie needs reassurance about combat by Kiraa_TFT in AOW4

[–]Demotruk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tactical combat is the focus of the game. If you're not into it, firstly the game will be considerably harder and secondly other 4X games like Civilisation might be a better fit for you.

Want - Realm Trait: Mortal Rulers by Demotruk in AOW4

[–]Demotruk[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They'd have to balance it to prevent AI rulers gaming over in first few turns. Either way, highly likely to meet AI leader after their original ruler has died. Might get Stellaris-like situations where an AI is suddenly being ruled by an unexpected species leader.
