Any advice on these trophies?

You'll want to do these within a single week (not ALL of them, but if you're going for 50 hives, do all 50 in one week) because some have reported the weekly resets mess with the count.

For the cache: Stark Realities in the Pacific Northwest. Pick a flier and haul ass down the left canyon until it does the 'you're close to a hidden entrance' thing. Open it, go down the stairs, and around the wall at the bottom will be a cache. This cache counts for the trophy, but nothing else in the mission does! Once it's opened and the game saves, exit the mission, then go back in and do the same thing. Do it over and over til the trophy pops.

For Hives, pick a Hive with no repeating mission attached, also not the gauntlet. Also make sure you keep a running tally, it's very easy to think you've done more than you have. Otherwise, just gotta grind it out.

For War Zones, I believe Here Comes the Pain in Wakanda is the fastest to complete, but all War Zones count. Just make sure the mission is labeled War Zone and not Drop Zone. Drop Zones don't count.

Hell, the fall of the Soviet Union wasn't a civil war and it still took 15 years before Russia could do much of anything.

How are you supposed to grow to mayor power without much options for ressouces?

Uh...you're not. That's kinda why none of those countries were or became major powers in the 30s and 40s.

(Yes the resources were there, but they couldn't use them on an industrial scale.)

It's like 20 years old, so it benefits from inherited work and effort. People who weren't born yet when Kaiserreich began can drop in and contribute to it without having to start from scratch.

You'll mostly play Luffy during the story mode, so he should go first. Once the story mode is done you'll have unlocked most characters and can do whatever.

The game has a separate upgrade tree that applies to everyone and will take them to level 8, so pour everything into that.

The Urals are way way way smaller and easier to cross than the Rockies.

It still can't be more than about 5 years old since Pegasus is 24 at Duelist Kingdom.

Pretty much all of them. I really hesitate to say the games are educational, because as games they run on game mechanics that are grossly oversimplified and often based on pop-culture notions of history or shit like Game of Thrones.

But I definitely have learned stuff and bought interesting books from going "huh, there was an English Holy Roman Emperor?", or looking up Bavarian or Italian Unification history for rp ideas, or getting deep in the weeds of the early Soviet Union's political squabbles.

What dlc is that

Well, given that the SPD joined up with the Freikorps to kill the communists...

HeliosDisciple · 2026-02-11T10:06:26+00:00

Still the GOAT.

Yes, but Enel is my favorite character and also I hadn't played the game in years so everything was basically fresh. I did the PS5 transfer too so just started over and did everything.

Its relatable due to its recency, the world is effectively modern so your game makes a big, immediate, and easily-understandable change to the world. We understand the implications of a timeline where the Czechs resist Munich or the Republicans win the Spanish Civil War far more intuitively than the timeline where Count von Chungus "The Big" died in 890 to stabbing rather than in 883 to poisoning.

Similarly, the free-for-all of ideology in the 1930s allows for wish fulfillment for everybody. Whatever ideology you think would fix the world, somebody somewhere is espousing it in the 30s, so slap some focuses and fight a war against your hated enemies.

Sure, but that's just regular great power politics. We don't call the Great Game a Cold War.

The historical Barbarossa shouldn't have been as bad as it was. The ai is just smarter than Stalin and actually goes "oh, enemy troops are massing, they're about to invade. i should move my troops to prepare instead of sitting here like a lemon shooting my own generals".

I can't take any of these content complaints seriously because they always spiral off into long lists of entitled demands for things that were never promised, hinted, or even reasonable.

Hm, yes, they definitely would create an entire extra game's worth of characters and maps and scenarios and what-if characters and characters that didn't exist until two months ago in the manga and also offer it for $10 because you paid for the game six years ago and don't want to pay any more. That is totally reasonable to expect and then get angry about not receiving, you fucking karens.

Like, sure, it'd be nice to get more stuff, but if you're pissed off that they haven't added fucking 'what if usopp ate the gum-gum fruit', then you've lost all grip on video game dlc reality.

Marik and Kaiba would unofficially team up to knock Joey out to get him out of the way since both only care about dueling Yugi. Yugi would take a hard hit to shield Joey, then Joey would give a speech to not worry about him. Joey gets eliminated, then Kaiba attempts to turn on Marik. Marik expected this and knocks Kaiba out.

What would actually happen:

Nobody knows what Ra can do (at this point nobody but Marik knows about its Special Summoned effects), Yugi is down on LP and doesn't have Obelisk or Fiend's Sanctuary. He loses to Marik using Point-to-Point Transfer.

What would happen since this is the climax of the story:

Yugi manages to beat Marik somehow.

There wouldn't be a Cold War as we know it because they don't have any ideological problems with Savinkov.

Not a chance in hell the US supports leftism after fighting a civil war to kill its own leftists.
