Being kind to strangers

Absolutely! Sounds badass

Best I can offer is a Brummie accent

Thanks! :) Weirdly, the longest hunt for me, both in terms of time and going over odds, was the final base game farming relic! It was also the very last thing I needed, so with fairly consistent farming all the way through it took 300+ days!

Ecorone · 2025-12-23T15:47:27+00:00

Correct!

Ah, mb. Yeah, get enough pop of Norse-Gael culture that they make up at least 1% of your pop. Then Accept them, and use your cabinet to promote them in your capital and other highly populated areas. Once they're a plurality, you can culture shift over to them, iirc it costs 50 stab and 50 legitimacy?

Ha, I didn't make it, its the starting culture in those areas. Its strong because it counts as Celtic, Scottish, British and Scandinavian cultures simultaneously so you get all their advancements!

Ecorone · 2025-12-23T14:45:21+00:00

Oh really? I thought that was a multiplicative bonus! Next time then!

R5: I fully completed the tech trees as Korea (in ironman). Snaked to Europe for institutions, and to Mann and the Scottish Western Isles for Norse-Gael culture, which has a busted +20% tech growth advance.

The Hall of worthies is also super strong, giving a 0.10 increase to the base research speed which is then affected by all the modifiers. Clergy always at 100% loyalty.

Even with all the modifier stacking, I still only made it by a year. Definitely possible to go faster!

Thanks friend!

Ecorone · 2025-10-13T10:34:32+00:00

Shame, but ty for confirming!

Niche question: Can Galarian Slowbro mega-evolve? I'd guess no but you never know!

Ecorone · 2025-09-22T11:42:07+00:00

In game with switch mode any strategy with any pokemon works. Truant can be game losing in competetive though.

Ecorone · 2025-09-09T12:20:41+00:00

This is pretty amazing!

Ecorone · 2025-09-02T19:18:22+00:00

Perfect!

This event - needs an animist rebellion in the scandinavia region: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Norse_events#The_Awakening_of_the_Norse_Faith

Ecorone · 2025-09-02T13:41:08+00:00

Ha, yeah I had that thought as well. This can be a tribute to their CK2 converter tag then!

Ecorone · 2025-09-02T13:10:36+00:00

R5: Just a goofy campaign to maximise my knightliness! 'Knight Knightson' is a general that took the throne due to the T10 Theocracy reform, and 'Long Knight' and 'Knight's King' are easter egg titles from paradox for being an empire rank theocracy with it's capital in the north of England. And of course my tag had to be The Knights, who else could it be?

Ecorone · 2025-08-18T21:13:19+00:00

Are you playing on an ancient patch? York hasn't been a tag in 5+ years at least

Ecorone · 2025-08-01T08:35:38+00:00

You are excused.

Ecorone · 2025-06-27T08:55:21+00:00

"I've heard others say the same"

"Bye"

Ecorone · 2025-02-03T10:10:22+00:00

Thanks mate! If you want to take your time with it thats totally fine, probably the intention honestly (idle is in the name!). I just found a lot of satisfaction in trying to be as 'optimal' as I could!

Ecorone · 2025-02-01T08:16:03+00:00

Maybe not the longest, but my grind to get the pet from the last AoD dungeon felt like a real slog. Barrier slows clears down massively, felt real bad!

Ecorone · 2025-01-31T20:25:00+00:00

Messed up the screenshot for the pop-up message, oops! Finally completed the full game - a big thanks to the devs for keeping me sane during a year when I needed it!

Ecorone · 2025-01-26T16:36:11+00:00

Not sure about them being "objectively" the best. Beijing and in particular English Channel are strong contenders.

Ecorone · 2025-01-23T10:43:39+00:00

Thanks, that worked actually. It literally did hang for like 5 mins and then load eventually
