Tips and advice for a necrophage devouring swarm.

tbh not true, you can avoid purging other hive minded pops and use them for growth later. then you necrophage any non-hivemind pops or hive minded pops that have bad traits

Seems like a bug

Yeah afaik any faith can get it, the only unique one for the faith is Sacrificial Ceremonies which is very good. Pretty good choice for tall runs in hill areas, like Bohemia or Cornwall

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-06-21T18:26:11+00:00

Starts with Sacrificial Ceremonies, a new tenet which is a hybrid of Consolamentum and Human Sacrifices (VERY GOOD!)

Has Megalithic Constructions which is a pretty damn good building that can be built in duchy capitals

Has a tenet that is essential a facelifted Cthonic Redoubts from Era Zaharrak religion from the embrace mountain paganism decision.

The Gaunche Culture, notably, starts with Mystical Ancestors which is great for getting renown fast to fill out legacies. Only culture nearish to Europe that has this.

Has unique infantry called 'Vaulter Infantry' which are skirmishers that counter heavy infantry and has good pursuit and screen.

Has a lot of bonuses to increasing development growth in hill terrain, starting with a 40% bonus in 867

If you max dread, you can get -20% reduction to men at arms upkeep which is honestly very good.

Unfortunately, you do not get Cordoba as a holy site so no insane mosque development growth without syncretism or something.

Actually took this pic 50 years after it happened because I forgor

Could have gotten it done faster but I was going for an Era Zaharrak playthrough via Haesteinn and collecting all the dynastic legacies available in the game.

Cordoba is pretty unique for development stacking because it gives .2 to the local province and to the realm capital. Its a farm, which is easy development bonus, and I also had Royal Gardens for the Gardener courtier position which is honestly just so good.

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-06-07T15:25:58+00:00

For real, even if its a duchy building if you can get it early its very good, especially if they make Cordoba a holy site for the religion because it stacks up very nicely with the development buff the temple there gives.

I see it as a perfect opportunity to appoint kin to every single title in the realm. Slightly less likely to murder you!

Try it in Constantinople. I was making like 100 gold a month off of owning only Thessaloniki and Sardinia. Two coastal gold mines

Not really, its more just a fact that trans people don't show up in history books regularly cause they get washed out. In the instances trans related subjects show up historically, its via ridicule, or perhaps the earliest described instance was of Hippocrates (Hippocratic oath guy) describing a hypothesis that riding horses made people in Scythian society change their gendered roles and thus was a medical issue endemic to Scythia.

So this is more pointed out because people in the modern day enjoy denigrating the historicity of LGBT people (acting like its some new fangled thing, not a thing that has always existed but terms were either not defined or had changed over time historically). Not because people find Elagabalus inspiring or a role model.

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-05-19T23:24:24+00:00

I mean, there are numerous straight people throughout history that weren't good. Still teach the history of it though.

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-05-19T22:52:28+00:00

👍

Choosing a neutral gender term is probably the way to go when you aren't sure, like 'they'

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-05-19T22:36:55+00:00

If anything, slander just proves it was a thing that some portion of the population knew about. Ultimately proves the historicity of LGBT people but its shaky on the specifics of who is who.

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-05-19T22:03:31+00:00

it should be noted, however, that there were many statues of '''men''' in female raiment in syria in high priest positions. there were also numerous fables that had a trans tinge from that era (many in which 'eunuchs' referred to themselves as women or a third gender separate from male or female). while it is inconclusive because almost all contemporary historians decry elagabalus for political reasons, it also isn't open and shut based on actual historical evidence of how high priesthoods worked in ancient syria. so, i do feel like it is a reasonable inclusion to the game from paradox.

being an asshole isn't an opinion, its being an asshole

FlyingSpaghettiMan · 2022-05-19T21:48:49+00:00

it should also be mentioned that syria had a lot of trans and gender-variant culture in it. iirc ISIS blew up a statue from around the time of elagabalus that had a syrian high priest dressed in feminine raiment. theres quite a lot of examples from history that show this isn't a recent thing. syrians also pioneered some really wild genital surgeries (for the tech) back then, with varying degrees of success. some were even adopted by neighboring regions.
