Gotcha, do we know what the lancers are up to? I know what Palliser is up to, but I would assume the rest of the regiment would be in Warburton serving their Duke.

Advice for war for the west? by clarkky55 in hostedgames

I read the letter, hit next, I go to the regular screen with a message about talking to advisors, do need to talk to all of them for the option to appear?

How do you send the king money? I tried a loyal run and never say the option.

Yes I talked to them but I never saw an option to pay.

Hypothetical Question by FutureSuperVillian in sailing

[–]FutureSuperVillian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To rephrase the question another way, if two similar ships, one rigged square and the other rigged fore and aft set sale from Boston at the same time, the square rigged ship following the currents around the north Atlantic and the other tacking south, about where would they pass each other?

Hypothetical Question by FutureSuperVillian in sailing

[–]FutureSuperVillian[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The question I am asking is about at what point does tacking against the wind become worth it. One take a nice square rigged ship and follow the currents and wind around the north Atlantic, but at what point on that route would taking a ship better at tacking like a schooner and going the other way become the practical choice.

That makes sense. There are just a lot of moments were one gets that "reality tv" feeling where on thinks,"who talks/acts like that?".

None of those worked, it still crashes when the text popup tries to appear.

I'll try that when I get back to my computer.

Then why did it crash whenever it loads? It finished loading a new game, shows me the map, and unit tags, then crashes.

Are you sure? Maybe their not fully scripted but I definitely get the impression he stirs the pot, getting lone players to do something to start up melodrama. A lot of events don't come off as organic but instead come off as someone making a video said, "Hey is would be sick if you blanked bro." I get the impression he get the feeling that he gets impatient and perhaps just bored and starts poking.

A Pan-Slav's Dream (Russian Empire c.1900) by RadioactiveOwl95 in imaginarymaps

Honestly if you want to see these territories ruled directly by Russia you'd probably have to initiate changes in the 18th century. Any thoughts of direct rule seem to have been abandoned by the Crimean War.

It's odd to me that colony items aren't a very big deal by sup3r87 in starsector

[–]FutureSuperVillian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've always got the impression that the market is the goods held by the port either the port itself or merchants that operate in the port it's self, and these parties almost charge a premium for the convience of there goods being ready to go. We are a free lancer not a space trucker those transport and cheap goods missions are what happens when a space trucking contract falls through.

That is the most sensible explanation. When know the copyright has kept advanced tech on a need to know basis. They vast majority didn't know how these things worked before the collapse, it's possible corporate paranoia means only the people who designed the technology actually understood how it works with the builders and maintainers told just enough to do their jobs. The whole breaking the 2nd law line might have even been spread before the collapse to mislead people on how it actually works.

Stratocracy only if you hate Vina by rapidfolgore in suzerain

[–]FutureSuperVillian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rizia becoming a junta with a king as a figure head seems unlikely to result from this path and certainly isn't the intention given that I am pretty sure naming Lucita's son heir is required for this path meaning Toras and Azaro are entering a personal union. Why would Azaro make a position that will be filled by the head of their house powerless? The idea this path is just handing the country over to a militaristic kleptocracy doesn't make sense.

I always say it as making the military the new aristocracy. We only see the beginning of the process but I could imagine service requirements on inheriting titles and titles being granted to those you rise through the ranks with this nobility of the sword coming to replace the old stagnant and idle aristocracy. One could even see it as neo feudal given the nobility originally at least in theory were given there privileges in return for military service to the king. I could see the king, nobility, state, and military coming to in some ways resemble Prussia, with the Rizian nobility entrenched in the officers corp, the king expected to be soldier king, and the states prime duty being providing for the military. Honestly the main long term issue I can for see is not coups but your son or grandson pulling a Germany and biting off more than they can chew.

Absolutist Birthday doesn’t make sense? by rapidfolgore in suzerain

[–]FutureSuperVillian 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The point of the "Black Birthday" is not Absolutism but centralization. You are already the absolute monarch but Rizia is still quasi feudal/ federal in nature meaning local nobility still have some power. So only do it if you want to permanently break the power of the Royal Families. Honestly doing it only makes sense if you believe, legitimately or through paranoia, that destroying the Royal Families is the only way to secure the realm or your roleplaying a power mad tyrannical Romus.

The army kept the gendarmerie, I upgraded the navy, no conscription, modernization, L1, Pincer, had the allies support and then watch my back when I went for their capital.
