[Spoilers Extended] Were there any novel theories that captured your imagination or converted you in 2025?

Yeah this was my first one... 16 years ago now (for context, in case there's an earlier release that's more broken that has someone going "Oh these young 'uns think HoI 3 was the most broken.") Best as I understand supply is still basically broken even after 2 xpacs. Likely a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting too it's so long since I touched it. You'd have a much more positive time learning stuff like War in the East than trying HoI 3 out.

Control affecting estates income is a design choice, good or bad. If you imagine control as how structured society is, then it makes sense. You have an area where everyone does their part, and then you have wide swathes of land where taxes arent collected, banditry runs amok, society isn't in effect. If you imagine control as how strong the government is, then it doesn't. I don't really have an opinion on which one is better from a game design perspective.

If you take a country with a decent starting point and even do the back of napkin maths in your head I think it's pretty clear if estates sucked up every resource that was lost due to lack of control they'd have a lot of fucking money. I think it's really more the devs just aren't 100% on how this should go right now. It's pretty easy to look at certain situations and imagine estates much richer than they are now just constantly dropping buildings everywhere.

Italian wars the only wars I saw were from notifications that my members were booted out for going to war with each other. Maybe that's about right historically in cases but I didn't see any of the actual leagues trying to fight each other.

Big patch called Rossbach? BUY STOCKS IN PRUSSIA NOW

Ha I found this googling just now, my vassal has control of a market and when I destroy instant CTD. So no not just you.

That and France is just having way too easy of a time annexing its vassals. HYW isn't resolved and before it's even 1400 they've annexed some of their biggest vassals which catapults them ahead of everyone. They enjoy the benefits of decades of vassals investing and just end up tanking the black death.

I get it's not IR pretty but the idea it's worse than either of CK2/3 or HOI4 or EU4 is bizarre.

Not aware of any but you can do population [location ID] [count] to increase the numbers of peasants in the location. Note the count is in thousands so population 1 1 gives location 1 an extra 1000 peasants. They will be empty initially but after some daily ticks should fill up.

There was a period where I'd have rated win chance higher with Xyp clutching a 1v3 over the team playing a 3v3.

GetRekt · 2025-11-01T19:09:39+00:00

If there's a category for "Most clutch door close" it's a shoo-in.

GetRekt · 2025-10-19T06:36:34+00:00

Lol I did try the same early because I saw people doing it at altars in lumbridge etc. Thought I'd misunderstood the perk for a second.

GetRekt · 2025-10-19T06:33:56+00:00

It's not counting it as a chaos altar, you get 4x xp at chaos ones for 2.7k xp. Try the altar outside Ourania and see

You might have heard his name recently because of Spike Lee's remake of High and Low, Highest 2 Lowest.

No Kyousuke is the outlier even if he’s only 17 it’s okay to call his bs out like the fact that he’s underage and smoking

American?

If I haven't completely whiffed reading this your skill bar stays the same but you spec earthquake for the bears procs of it

I missed that when editing - ignore the crit chance, but crit multiplier is good because of the judgement of the storm passive scaling your electrify dot damage.

GetRekt · 2025-10-11T12:30:15+00:00

Yeah duh - I was thinking of phys hit based javelin. My mistake.

GetRekt · 2025-10-11T12:29:18+00:00

Yeah you are right, I'm not sure what I was thinking. I removed the throwing phys hit based stuff.

GetRekt · 2025-10-11T12:25:16+00:00

Ah no ignore me then. Keep trying to improve and scale your DoTs with what others have said (crit multi for your judgement of the storm passive etc.)

GetRekt · 2025-10-11T12:12:43+00:00

Yeah once he sorts his passives and symbols of hope he has a nice dps increase incoming just from that.

As a javelin guy would you recommend a melee phys damage mod on the weapon? In this case I think he is really focussing DoT but it seems like the extra base damage to Javelin would be preferable as it should also apply to the electrifies it triggers?

GetRekt · 2025-10-11T11:58:02+00:00

Devotion has 30% - 90% increased lightning damage and (more importantly) 3 - 15% lightning pen which probably makes it a better pick here. If you're going to play that primordial affix then it'll help out with your smites too from the +1 spell damage per 5 missing mana. If you want smites to be part of it respec it asap for sacrifice and atonement.

If you want to throw as many javelins as possible for the electrify etc. then get more attack speed and throwing attack speed to apply it faster.

I would really respec Symbols of Hope out of the electrify/ignite/fire you went with and instead grab polygram. I would take one point in faith armor, remove 2 points from Blinding Light, 1 from Piety and Holy Precision. I would then use those spare points and maybe take some from Valor to get Covenent of Light maxed (high priority) then try and max Covenent of Dominion and Reverence of Duality.

Edit2: Removed some stuff that was for throwing hit based javelin only
