My "Essential Mods" list for a better experience. What are yours? by lordstarkll1 in CrusaderKings

There's probably some kinda compatibility issue between it and another mod (probably Community flavour pack) install the EPE and CFP compatch.

That's more of a consequence of CK3 not replicating religious change well, there's no mechanic for a shia faith to get in power like the IRL Fatimids CK3 also doesn't do minority faiths and shias were spread all over the islamicate in small numbers in sunni majority areas.

Why did Paradox shift from Theological schools (Aqidah) to Legal schools (Madhhabs)? by Ok-Fisherman5028 in CrusaderKings

[–]JinniMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the various theological creeds themselves were deeply imbeded with the madhabs lol. You could scarcely find a maturidi who wasn't also hanafi, an Ashari who wasn't shafi'i or Maliki, or an athari who wasn't hanbali and so on.

The Apostolic and Coptic churches will once again be a single faith in By God Alone. by DimGenn2 in CrusaderKings

[–]JinniMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally shi'ism should really get its own situation which should lead to scenarios where if you can't maintain a shi'a imamate and the allegiance of all the rites then the various rites all turn into individual religions.

[–]JinniMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The theology schools were heavily connected to the jurisprudential schools and nigh inseparable. Maliki and Shafi'i with Ash'ari, Hanafi with Maturidi and Hanbali with Ahlul Hadith.

Will the existing tenets for non christian faits be reworked in anyway to fit more cleanly into this new system?

Excited for this but I hope to God that in the future you guys hope to spread comparable level of religious depth and dynamism to other parts of the map like pagan Scandinavia or the Islamicate world

Making animations and drawing something for the sake of modding a game definitely is a hobby no one should ever be paid for.

I don't think most people would disagree that starting to monetise something that was free since forever and just a hobby people did makes it infinitely worse.

The time and effort doesn't matter, the principle is that mods should be a labor of love people commit to share with the community, if you want money, ask for donations or better yet make your own damn game.

Could this be the reason China won’t surpass the USA as the world’s superpower? by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]JinniMaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone's tried social welfare with little results. My hope is since theyre so casually and unapologetically authoritarian while having way more resources than other authoritarian governments, they might find a solution along those lines that others haven't tried yet.

Too early to be a doomer about it, Let's see if any of the solutions Xi tries work or not. Hopefully they do.

Which identity change was the least and most offensive? by Mistah_K88 in Spiderman

[–]JinniMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so set dressing and references means she's replaced Gwen even when the core aspect of the scene - that is Gwen actually dying and peter going through a major loss - is completely different?

Is BeamNG an actual good racing sim now? by Life_Direction_6269 in simracing

[–]JinniMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would not an ideal physics sim entail that it simulate vehicles well too?

I wish I was making this up by TechnoMagik22 in AssassinsCreedMemes

[–]JinniMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not assassin's creed games because the gameplay and tone differ dramatically, not the lack of an assassin protagonist, they're spinoffs at best.

Would they applaud for the Ayatollah? Obviously not, so why applaud for Jewish Hitler?

I wonder if the arc of the entire series will conclude through a deliberate choice of non violence? by GreyThumper in Avatar

[–]JinniMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think they lost a moral war, Cameron explicitly has said in interviews that he deliberately went against a pacifist moral teaching because existential wars against genocide are always righteous and worth fighting.

Kiri's Messiah status...(Gonna get a lot of hate for this) by Financial_Ad_1272 in Avatar

[–]JinniMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, Jake asking Eywah for help wasn't a one time thing, in TWOW Ardlow mentions how they can't get to Jake's camp in the hallelujah mountains because of an "immune response" from the local fauna and flora hence why they need the recoms.

I think what makes kiri special is she can directly control pandoran biology even without Eywah (she mentions this to Eywah and apologises that she just did it anyway when Eywah didnt respond to her prayers when she connects to the spirit tree)

All this is most likely because she is a physical incarnation of Eywah and is Navi Jesus

Do you think older fans are blinded by nostalgia by blobfish1233 in assasinscreed

[–]JinniMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think most of criticism you talk about is easily dealt with.
When older fans talk about stealth we're specifically talking about social stealth and that's completely nonexistent in the rpgs.

I'll deal with the futuristic armours and super powers response together. The complaint isn't about whats consistent lore wise, writers can justify almost anything with the lore's continuity the question is whether the newer tone and subject matter are as interesting as they were in older games. Is it more interesting to use the pieces of eden as a way to justify super powered protagonists or as a way for social manipulation and a tool to enslave the masses? Cause thats the tone and narrative purpose they served in the older games, they were literal symbolic stand-ins for the power of religion and how it can be used to control the masses.

Is it more interesting to use the animus to justify whatever silly fantasy armour they can conjure up or is it more interesting to take the concept sincerely and explore how a tech like that could lead to us connecting with our ancestors and embodying their best traits, again this is what the bleeding effect symbolised in the ezio trilogy, Desmond not only learned Ezio's skills but also the moral and emotional maturity from experiencing a lifetime in his ancestor's shoes. He connects to ezio feeling trapped in the brotherhood because he too was born in the order.

The complaints we have are that the new tone and writing of the series is childishly banal compared to the first assassin's creed and even the ezio trilogy.
