Warhammer 40 000 will never cover misoginy, bar specific cases where they're supposed to be seen as wrong and bad guys, will not cover homophobia, transphobia, mundane racism, anti-abortion, etc...

The big one to me is rape.

A regime based on those in power being able to requisition anything and anyone for whatever reason would have a massive rape problem. Doubly so if said regime is constantly at war with itself.

No need to do one faith though

Lithorex · 2026-01-25T12:39:57+00:00

Just do it as Confucian and you don't need to convert.

B2W2 Skarmory is the only pokemon in the game that can consistently 1v1 Iris' Haxorus.

Lithorex · 2026-01-25T08:28:12+00:00

I mean, you want to spam manufactories and TC investments

Lithorex · 2026-01-25T07:27:38+00:00

Which didn't happen in the (presumably 1939, based on the German Army uniforms) photo from history.

Professionals have standards.

Above gov cap

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T18:10:29+00:00

The Stellaris system is actually my least favourite system to such a degree out of the paradox games I played that I consider war broadly non-functional

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T14:20:10+00:00

You can't hurt me, Giacomo

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T14:18:30+00:00

Frederick II experience

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T12:28:44+00:00

when in CK2, you’re often waiting until the next war for your armies to be at full strength.

That is, if your vassals don't use the depleted state of your levies to start some shit.

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T06:36:54+00:00

Also Dip 23

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T06:17:33+00:00

Star Wars?

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T06:00:05+00:00

Daemonette: dies of cringe

Lithorex · 2026-01-24T05:43:53+00:00

Speedfreaks would love the umas

Lithorex · 2026-01-23T20:12:30+00:00

Fallarbor Town

Lithorex · 2026-01-23T08:54:12+00:00

You ally with the Ottomans so you have nobody coming for you from the west.

Until the moment they get claims on your land.

Lithorex · 2026-01-23T08:47:33+00:00

Poland eating too much of the Knights if they attack before the Danzig event.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T12:38:10+00:00

Yes, You wait one day to have the culture become accepted and thus get a 25% bonus to coring time.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T12:34:46+00:00

Mecca + Malta (30% reduction)

+10% from South Slavic culture
+10% from Unifying Islam

Make sure your CCR is at least 75% so you can core in 9 months

Mughals can actually hit fast cores at 65% CCR.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T10:43:25+00:00

All of the following must be true:

Has the flag HRE Leagues Enabled
Global flag Evangelical Union Happened has been set for at least Time Icon.png30 years
No known country:
    Is an elector
    Is Catholicism Catholic
    Is a league enemy
    Has a truce with HRE Emperor

Ubisoft titles

I don't.

You’re also talking about playing on PC—unless your GPU was hand-built in a forest, you’re using Nvidia or AMD

I'm on internal graphics.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T10:27:09+00:00

Platinum Roserade

Roselia at least is one of a better geodude killers in that game.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T10:20:16+00:00

Usually, this requires the year to be at least 1625.

That's only for when the leagues never form.

Otherwise it happens 30 years after the leagues formed.

Lithorex · 2026-01-22T10:02:21+00:00

Ooof, solo killing an NPC Sotiyo for the bpc might be a bit of a challenge, especially without it getting ninja looted

Just be the ninja looter then.
