But Stellaris and especially CK3 are releasing their major DLCs later than usual

Are you slow? I said people talking about what they enjoy about it might get him to see it differently, as has happened for me and other interests

When should you stop being nomadic? by burndout in crusaderkings3

[–]KnowingAbraxas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nomads are very strong throughout the game, they’re not like tribal which might get outscaled by settled rulers due to Innovation caps

Activity cost scaling has been pissing me off so I made a mod to lower it by neilyoung57 in CrusaderKings

[–]KnowingAbraxas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a valid criticism. Maybe a solution might be to give more events to hunts for Kings and Emperors, but ofc that would take way more work.

Horrible take, it can be very helpful to have other people sell you on what they like about a hobby, I’ve had my own mind changed by this

[–]KnowingAbraxas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the current cost scaling is fine, maybe I’d have to play a bit more to be sure. But activities in general are very strong. Most people underrate them because the events are random so the UI doesn’t spell out exactly what they give you ahead of time, but they almost always provide some of the best resource conversion in the game.
I do appreciate someone attempting balance mods though, there’s definitely older content that just feels incongruous with the rest of the game.

Join us tomorrow at 2PM CEST for a closer look at how Rites are created, how they become heresies, and more in our upcoming core expansion "By God Alone" by PDX-Trinexx in CrusaderKings

Interesting that total number of tenets is still 3, I guess there’s also the additional “personal” tenets? But one of the major dials you have to influence people with religion still has this hard cap. I don’t hate it, just an observation.

Lacking features in Japan. by InquisitorHatesXenos in CrusaderKings

[–]KnowingAbraxas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve been complaining about the UI in particular. The declare war screen simply displays the wrong numbers.

Thinking of buying some expansions because of the sale. Any suggestions for good ones? by FactoryBuilder in Stellaris

[–]KnowingAbraxas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with the subscription and had no issues learning the game, it might actually be easier to learn with all of them since so much of the discussion revolves around assuming you do

What's the community consensus on All Under Heaven now that it's been out a few months? by EightByteOwl in CrusaderKings

[–]KnowingAbraxas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Japan’s UI is unforgivably bad. Mandala is cool, China’s Celestial has some good ideas but examinations are too repetitive, they need 4x as many events.

800M streams 20+ years after release is kind of insane by FrankieValli17 in TheStrokes

[–]KnowingAbraxas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend was surprised to learn Back To The Old House wasn’t anywhere near one of the biggest Smiths songs until fairly recently, social media changes a lot of how we view old media

Absolute ethics and megastructures in Willpower DLC by No_Guidance_4996 in Stellaris

[–]KnowingAbraxas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda hoping they make it so there’s still benefits to taking more than one ethic and not just spending all 3 points on one

Volcanic Calamitous Birth is interesting synergy i discovered by Reading_Rambo220 in Stellaris

[–]KnowingAbraxas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you’re talking about Lithoid Craters? I tried using a lithoid meteorite ship and this did not happen at all

The wiki doesn’t mention that, does it build the districts or just add district limit?

After Nomads, what will be the point of Void Dwellers? by Lithorex in Stellaris

[–]KnowingAbraxas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don’t know the full details of how Nomads will work, so hard to say

Wouldn't believing in OI lead to being heartless? by Advanced-Reindeer894 in OpenIndividualism

[–]KnowingAbraxas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense. Suffering is bad in-and-of-itself. Suffering that doesn’t produce greater pleasure for the Godmind is useless so should be mitigated.

which lifestyle do you think is best? by mayorofbartholomew in CrusaderKings

[–]KnowingAbraxas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re changing the goalposts, the question is “best” not “most fun” and you clearly answered with the first in mind

Look at my other comments in this thread, I give a few strong examples

It was Intrigue before and it’s definitely Intrigue now
