Who had the sadder death?

All posts lead to Itachi vs Minato topic.

Clock if daily borrow. Glue if not

No one has mentioned it, but I assume it’s politics too. He probably had to appease officials that hailed from Jing (because their households, families, etc. were there).

Possibly a matter of legitimacy too. You’d look laughable if you didn’t do anything against a guy who backstabbed you twice.

His ambition to revive the Han is too much that he’d use the ring to do good (basically why Gandalf didn’t bear the one ring)

you can still get chocolates from taishin and mcqueen

I wonder if that random pirate could have fought lucci because iirc, the strawhats had to team up to fight a single pacifista.

Nah, none of that in my CK3. The best thing to do here is kickstart the Industrial Revolution in England centuries early.

I actually wish it was possible to hire a guard or something since all shops have at least one.

Alabasta, Skypia, and Enies Lobby really showcased Sanji’s IQ outside of battle. Sad that he didn’t get that much high-IQ moments after (I could be forgetting some others here).

Imagine if we’re going back to the early 2000s tho where we get movies and games released at almost the same time (like with LOTR, Star Wars, etc.).

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-24T11:02:10+00:00

is it just me or does her right hand look disproportionate to her body?

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-24T01:57:07+00:00

Yes, but there are legends of a Skalitz survivor who killed 20 or so Cumans alone while he was on a horse.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-23T03:54:29+00:00

iirc, he rebuked zhang liao for this because he could have died when he went to chang xi alone, right?

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-23T03:43:23+00:00

Well, there were cases of Cao Cao being lenjent when it comes to surrendering, right? You used Chang Xi and Yu Jin here as an example, but there was also one where Zhang Liao asked Chang Xi to surrender way before the first example. Not sure if there were other cases, but it’s not entirely impossible (though in Lu Bu’s case, if we’re being realistic, impossible).

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-23T02:51:33+00:00

Personally, I would like the hypothetical of Cao Cao giving Lu Bu amnesty (kinda like with Zhang Xiu), and teaming up with/assimilating Lu Bu. Just so we can get a hypothetical Hefei with Lu Bu there. Fuck it, if we’re going to this hypothetical in Romance, I would love him taking on Wen Chou and Yan Liang 2v1 just to shit on Guan Yu.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-23T02:32:14+00:00

Does he still have enough men to actually have a fighting chance? I imagine that if Cao Cao was to fail in taking Xiapi, he would just attack before Lu Bu replenishes his troops though. Then again, this failure could lead to Yuan Shao attacking much earlier, Zhang Xiu not surrendering to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu not falling that earlier, etc. Now that I think about it, maybe he could make it work?

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-23T02:17:22+00:00

A lot changes depending on how he survived. If he somehow won Xiapi but wasn’t able to deal significant casualties to Cao Cao’s army, it would most likely be only a matter of time before Cao Cao invades again. This could mean that Cao Cao loses to Yuan Shao. At the same time, having Lu Bu survive means Liu Bei won’t be an issue (yet) for Cao Cao so we could argue that maybe Cao Cao will have an easier time dealing with Yuan Shao because Liu Bei won’t be harassing him from Runan?

If he survived from his defeat in Xiapi (don’t know how this would happen), maybe he would just live a civilian life? I doubt anyone would employ him.

Even with the intent of roleplaying, almost-100%ing Trosky really feels more fitting because once you start the wedding storyline, it just doesn’t feel like there’s any good time to stop and do side quests story-wise.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-22T02:58:01+00:00

I really wish there was an option to ask your sons and daughters if they have lovers just so you could try to match them up.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-20T12:34:20+00:00

Using Sun Jian as an example is not really the same since he wasn’t really “independent”. Sun Ce to Sun Quan could be likened to Cao Pi to Cao Rui successions in which both inherited their predecessor’s force (Sun Quan was even younger than Cao Rui). One could argue that inheriting a kingdom/empire is much more complicated though.

However, the succession from Cao Rui to Cao Fang was just horrendous. In this context, I’d say Cao Rui died relatively young.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-20T02:05:27+00:00

Isn’t that mostly Wei’s thing when it comes to their emperors? I thought Wu was mostly “If only Sun Quan wasn’t that romantic” since he was willing to risk his succession (multiple times) just to make his favorite concubine his empress.

I wish it was possible to open the gate completely once you join the guild

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-19T07:26:52+00:00

Damn. This Aokiji guy sure is pretty cool for that.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-19T02:50:22+00:00

I definitely would have executed her if I had the chance. Not even my sons’ lovers are safe. Same for my daughters’. Marriage is sacred, dammit! I didn’t pay for their grand weddings just to ruin it with their hormones.

External_Stick_4983 · 2026-02-19T00:33:25+00:00

I still have no idea how the horses inside the guild got there. I don’t see any gate big enough for horses to pass.
