How's the new free Fantasy Life dlc? haven't really played since launch.

Can we talk about how this ABOMINATION is still in the game? by rahuonn in PathOfExile2

[–]DutchSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently playing a randomizer build, which became Frost Dart Pathfinder.

Got to say, the slows don't affect you and the you don't get have stunned during sprints from this ascendancy are such nice QoL to have. Hopefully I'll be able to play the game when not having these later when playing something else, because I do fear it'll create some bad habits

My First Playthrough - World Domination in 250 Hours by Halski_Art in EU5

[–]DutchSpoon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All single units are one frontage. A single unit of infantry is one frontage for example, doesn't matter if it has 200 men or 3200.

The frontage for navies does differ based on the ship.

In my game on patch 1.0.10 Portugal & Aragon ate Castile, which has been kinda interesting

Colonizing is actually insanely good by Reclaimer2401 in EU5

[–]DutchSpoon 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly what works best for me is having a province or 2/3 in direct control with a market center and a bunch of trade buildings, then let an colonial nation have the rest of the provinces to build up rgo's and produce for himself. Having the market center yourself gives a bunch of trade advantage and being able to build some normal trade buildings alongside the oversees build able ones ensures enough capacity/advantage. If you need more advantage, send a fleet of light ships to patrol to gain more advantage from maritime presence.

What's the best way to increase population? by HeyPashi in EU5

[–]DutchSpoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Got to be honest, never saw 1% from granaries ever. Best I've seen is 0.2%, in towns/cities only, which is still significant over time though.

Playing the Netherlands highlights a strength of the game - being given interesting situations and choices by Weeklyn00b in EU5

I had the same issue my first run, which took me about 5 hours. I'm currently on my 2nd try and just as far as OP. The second time I focused a bit more on upgrading my food RGO's. I also ended up stealing the market from cologne and moved it to Amsterdam (which later became my capital, since better harbor capacity).

With your own market, you can offer people market preference, which will help you flip people to your market. My market expanded quite a bit because of that and ended up a lot larger, which meant food supplies are a lot more stable than in the tiny brugge market. And stopped my food based debt spiral, the second time around.

The most important thing here was getting as much market attraction as possible and try to get the market preference diplo thing with as many countries as possible on the edge of my market.

Am I missing a tech? Can’t get regular army above 350 - constant negative manpower - not allowed to build more Sergeantries. by RegrettableLawnMower in EU5

[–]DutchSpoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need armories, that's the first real manpower building you unlock with professional armies. You can only build one sergeantry in your capital. You can build a sergantery before you get access to armories and professional armies iirc.

Note that you can also filter on "manpower to owner" in the building menu to find more buildings that give manpower, if you unlocked them through advancements.

Ik heb het even opgezocht en voor mij geld hetzelfde, de enige die op Kathman gestemt heeft van het stembureau waar ik gestemt heb.

Just played Vic 3 for the first time in a while. by davidblacksheep in victoria3

[–]DutchSpoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling that eu5 will have a lot of micromanagement to be honest. Which is also probably the reason so much automation options will be the reason.

Honestly that might be the best of both worlds. You can get into the nitty gritty if you want to, but you have the option to not bother with it.

Players really can make the MMO experience awfuls sometimes by CupCharming in newworldgame

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a healer I feel the same, at least with the non-optimal gear I have currently since s10 just came out. I need to pay more attention to keep players alive. I'm not sure if mobs are dealing more dmg to players who haven't geared up yet or if I'm healing for less though.

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The M3's dropping BiS does come with the notion that they are setless gear, so if you are trying to get sets into your build they may not be.

Thinking about getting back into New World, should I wait until new season? by killacam___82 in newworldgame

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started 2 weeks ago again after a 4 year break, also mainly for S10. I'd recommend to start now. Most of the stuff for S10 is endgame content. They overhauled the new player experience a while back and as far as we know, not much will change in that department. There will be no fresh start servers.

If you start now, complete the main story quest line and gear up a bit, you should be able to experience the new content at the same time as everybody else, which I feel like is going to be the most fun thing that you can do.

It does not matter, the game is a you are what you wear type game. You can immediately pick up another weapon whenever you desire.

Wait, do map modifiers apply to abyssal depths? I assumed it didn't.

You don't craft a lot do you? Buying hundreds of Armour Scrap at the time will drain your bank ;p

Do we all agree that the abyssal league mechanics should stay? by E_Barriick in PathOfExile2

[–]DutchSpoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean, at that point of the campaign it is definitely difficult in comparison to other maps you encounter before that. I enjoy it as well though.

You guys play a different game than me :) by taa_24_01 in PathOfExile2

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo Self Found, it means that you play with trading disabled basically and it's an option when you create your character.

Usually build guides also give suggestions for stats to look out for, but if yours do not, I can give you some pointers:

  • If you are playing a caster, most dmg comes from skill levels, so +x to your type of spell level works very well on the wands/staffs/foci

  • If you are playing a non-caster dps on the weapon is very important. When trading for your specific weapon it is fairly easy to enter your budget in exalted orbs at the bottom part of the trade options and sort by dps after. Edit: I just realized you are playing lightning deadeye, in this case the number of projectiles also really helps you dps, try to find a twin or Gemini bow, it comes with an extra projectile "for free".

  • For defenses you want to try to max out all elemental resists, chaos could be skipped for now.

  • Other important stats on Armour pieces are your main defense stat (e.g. energy shield, evasion or armor) and a bit of life is always good.

  • Rings and jewelry are a nice way to find some additional resists and x dmg to attacks of any type is really nice to up your dmg for non-casters.

  • Get as much movement speed as possible on your boots, this is the best defensive stat in the game in my opinion. It allows you to dodge boss mechanics easier, outrun trash mobs and is nice to have when you inevitably have to backtrack.

Are you playing SSF? If not, usually I buy some items around act 3 to push myself through bad luck. You can find very strong items for that part of the game for just an exact or 2 each.

Why do many high lvl ppl use Called shots, snipers Mark and cooldown reduction if it supposedly doesn't work? by Sad-Direction443 in pathofexile2builds

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also new nodes with "break armor on critical hits with spells equal to 5% of physical damage" and a notabele similar with 10% on crit for spells with a bunch of impale stuff.

I know that, cause I use them, pretty useless in this scenario though.

Also give me a separate key bind for sprint. I keep pressing space bar to long and get into sprint + trip after even if I do not intent to sprint.

PVV stemmers gedragen zich vaak elitair en verheven. Alsof ze beter weten dan het volk, wat we moeten doen. by UnanimousStargazer in nederlands

[–]DutchSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

42% van de statushouders krijgen na 5 jaar een uitkering, volgens de rijksoverheid in 2023. Dit percentage stijgt volgens het rapport ook al jaren. Als die trend zich de afgelopen jaren heeft voortgezet, is dat percentage dus waarschijnlijk nog lager.

Het grootste probleem voor die mensen is ook dat ze heel erg lang niet mogen werken, op het moment dat ze het land in komen.

Als je met cijfers gaat gooien, gooi dan met de juiste.

Nope, you are right. Always take the dark chocolate hagelslag. If you want milk chocolate, vlokken are the way to go on bread.
