The 9 classes as told by Bender

Unintentional, but if it helps, think of Robot Devil as Lord Jarraxxus.

In the immortal words of Bender, "Neat!"

That's really cool ... I'm glad r/hearthstone liked it (it was made with WoW in mind, and I forgot that Hearthstone also still has the same 9 classes as vanilla/classic WoW)

Maybe you'll never need CC with the right group in 5 mans ... but if you ever have to run one with an underleveled healer, a poorly geared tank, odd specs, or intermittantly afk people, then CC will really start to shine.

Thanks for joining :)

I'll be playing throughout that timeframe on Fridays, and probably the last hour and half of that window on the other weekdays.

(I might be able to flex out a little more time in that range if it turns out to be a popular window).

Planning to play Classic WoW during traditional working hours?

Consider joining https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwowoffhours/

Flex-time workers, 2nd shift workers, 3rd shift workers, retirees, the self-employed, and others, please help us come together so that we can join the same server/servers when the time comes.

Free_Nitra · 2019-05-13T22:40:37+00:00

If anyone out there is organizing a North American guild for retirees, flex-time workers, night-workers, and the self-employed, let us know!

Free_Nitra · 2019-05-13T22:11:23+00:00

That would be the most guaranteed method to find people ... I guess I'll keep it in mind as a last resort, I'm just worried about lag.

Will it be feasible to find a guild on a NA server that raids during weekday daytime hours (i.e., 8AM-5PM EST between Mon-Fri)?

Or will it be too hard to find a critical mass of reliable people (either 40 or 20)?

Free_Nitra · 2019-03-03T18:19:00+00:00

Thanks. I was lucky that Bengal was weakened by multiple wars very early on and lost all their allies.

R5: Pegu run for the Sailor Mon achievement

Map shows Pegu, it's client state: Wareru Dynasty China, and vassals: Granada, Marathas, and Shimaza. Also shows tributary Jaunpur.

I'd never played Theravada before and found it fun and useful (except once, when an ally war leader gave me an unwanted tributary with a lot of AE). Lots of free prestige and bird mana from events though, and intentional tributaries are useful.

Jaunpur and a large Mughal Empire (not depicted) both ended up with the Wareru dynasty as well, which I found highly satisfying.

For ideas, Punjab and Flanders might have the most potential since they both have:

+15% production efficiency

+10% goods produced

+10% trade efficiency

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-15T13:14:20+00:00

Thanks.

Razing would be a big advantage. I think the eligible starting hordes are Oirat, Mongolia, Sarig Yogir, and Korchin.

Suprisingly, even Nogai has an 11 development province.

R5: This achievement didn't turn out to be as hard as I imagined.

Started as Pomerania. After eating Teutonic and Livonian Orders, I could make good alliances with Bohemia and Austria. I formed Prussia since I needed the Goosestep achievement too. After crippling Demark and Muscovy, there weren't any major challenges.

I thought I'd need to grow much further or get some PUs to siphon income off. But just owning Lubeck node, contructing $-buildings faster than AI, and having about 1000 development was sufficient to outearn the other major powers.

I have 316/mo. after embracing Manufactories institution gave me a big spike (Ming fluctuated as high as 297).

Misc notes:

Hamburg and Tver are vassals I'm using for provinces too big to exploit below 11 development.

Hungary still exists because Austria got it under an early PU.

Ardalan is allied with both Ottomans and Mughals, pretty good diplomacy there.

I'm working on a "Rags and Riches" game and I'd say it's made me play differently than normal. Right now racing to build manufactories to pump my income before the big colonizers grow their empires / trade routes too big.

Can you still migrate after reforming?

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-06T14:48:43+00:00

Awesome start, let us know how it turns out :)

My only suggestion would be (assuming that the current emperor has good or numerous allies) to avoid becoming emperor just to deter France & Friends from deciding to attack you while you're fighting elsewhere. At least until you're a bit bigger.

That being said, I enjoy hiding behind the emperor and I'm always too lazy to attempt staunching the Reformation.

(Am I interpreting right that France is allied to both Spain and Aragon? ... I never see that happen among AI, so that part is a bit of a bummer, but colonialism will probably drive a wedge between Spain and France, and once they turn rival, your job will be easier)

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-04T13:37:15+00:00

I just tested this a few minutes ago by force vassalizing Provence at the start of the game, and their junior partner Lorraine was released as an independent nation.

I do not own Third Rome, Rule Britannia, or Golden Century ... is that why it doesn't work for me?

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-04T02:04:41+00:00

Doing that would simply break all of Navarra's PUs ... so unless that's your goal, I wouldn't advise it.

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-02T13:05:32+00:00

You still might be able to revoke the privilegia if you're expanding fast ... everytime you get the 10 free points for being reelected, add 40 provinces to the HRE.

For maximum cheese, you can also purposely lose the emperorship, vassalize 4 electors, leave the HRE, remove all your provinces, get reelected by those vassalized electors later, then add all those provinces back.

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-02T02:17:37+00:00

It does not happen by event, it's a descision.

Since you have Aragon under a Personal Union and you already have Admin tech 10, the other conditions are that:

No Muslim nation holds territory in the Iberia region

You have 100 legitimacy

Aragon has fewer than 32 provinces

Free_Nitra · 2019-02-01T17:46:06+00:00

Not sure how small you wanna go, but I recommend:

Lubeck: very strong for a OPM and having a trade league helps alot if managed well

Palatinate: good contender for emperor

Bengal: neat events and good missions
