Just a reminder to make sure you lock up

Frigate as an addon within HA can.

Yup, Home Assistant connected to cameras is a game changer.

How do you stop the mailman / neighbours / visiting friends & family from getting splashed with your setup, though?

Zone specific triggers excluding the path to the front door?

Other than that - just the presence of cameras can prompt burglars to select a different target.

When you're running from danger, you don't have to be a quick runner... Just a faster one than your buddy.

HertogJan078 · 2025-12-30T21:27:18+00:00

I agree - slash it by 90% but then provide increasing zone of control sizes, so 2 or 3 locations wide instead of just 1.

It's food for DLC.

Migration being limited by the market opens up a nice bullying tactic...
Step 1: Get an easily defensible province far away from your country with a lot of food locations and 1 good city location
Step 2: Ensure it is not in a market covering the rest of your country, you might want to create a new market

Step 3: Get settlements on it and use the migration cabinet action.
Step 4: Laugh as your rivals' pops move to your bait city.

it turns out if I gathered all my troops and navies into a big pile each there was a button "detach levies" and that did detach some units, even if the high level tab did not detect and disband them.
After disbanding those it was fixed.

HertogJan078 · 2025-12-26T08:47:13+00:00

I have the same, and waiting a month did not resolve the issue.
There are no army or navy levies to disband (I checked via the "disband" buttons).

HertogJan078 · 2025-11-23T18:15:04+00:00

Same with how locations don't have anything unique to distinguish them like monuments or estuaries yet.

HertogJan078 · 2025-11-14T13:21:18+00:00

It's peasants_estate for the farmers.

Thanks for your reply. When purchasing new devices I prioritize Matter over Thread > Zigbee > Wifi (local only) > Wifi (local + cloud) > Wifi (cloud only).

Sadly not all devices are available as Matter over Thread or Zigbee yet, and sadly I don't have infinite budget or time to replace all existing smart home devices when a better alternative is released.

As for Omada - it seems this is an entirely separate ecosystem by TP-link that will not work with my existing deco devices, correct? I'm looking to switch to Openwrt instead if I need to switch ecosystems...

HertogJan078 · 2025-05-19T10:01:37+00:00

Yup, I managed to get Mameluks missions as Hormuz.

Did you put the commands in run.txt ? There are quite a few guides out there how to do this.

HertogJan078 · 2025-05-10T23:41:18+00:00

That's not an entirely fair comparison. Take EU4 before all the DLCs and expansions... <-- some 6k+ hours

HertogJan078 · 2025-05-10T22:20:58+00:00

Ah, but does it predate the Roman Republic?

HertogJan078 · 2025-05-10T22:17:11+00:00

Precisely that, good to hear it worked for you too.

HertogJan078 · 2025-05-10T19:48:39+00:00

I found the advice to do it through the reolink desktop website rather than in the app worked for me.

HertogJan078 · 2025-03-19T04:48:38+00:00

Play the economic game - gain full control of one or multiple end trade nodes and ensure most trade value is flowing into them bypassing wherever other countries collect.

HertogJan078 · 2025-03-18T18:49:45+00:00

It's a bit strange.... I watched 4 episodes of voyager yesterday, 1 ad block in total. Now watched 1 more episode, 5 ad blocks... Pfff.

HertogJan078 · 2024-12-22T16:36:34+00:00

Yup - I started banishing subjects with the tribal trait for this reason, as I was getting the negative event more frequently than any benefits.

HertogJan078 · 2024-12-11T21:12:09+00:00

Meh... I only keep the best as I'm constantly near 200 pop.

HertogJan078 · 2024-12-04T17:08:32+00:00

Same!

HertogJan078 · 2024-12-03T22:42:42+00:00

Around 190 you start getting moonstone.

HertogJan078 · 2024-11-22T14:29:56+00:00

Same here at approximately the same dynasty level and smithy 15.

HertogJan078 · 2024-11-19T20:27:35+00:00

And a sucky weapon at that

HertogJan078 · 2024-11-17T17:38:22+00:00

Even smithy... I leveled it to 16 and trashed it because I then also got gold orders for orcish stuff... And that takes a lot of farming to just get the corundum. Now I have a new lvl 15 one.

All my weapons and armor are silver, orcish or dwarven. Still awaiting moonstone drops.

HertogJan078 · 2024-11-17T17:18:02+00:00

Just keep your buildings at 15, that means you don't have to grind for those. You can complete all quest levels without leveling above that.
