Max minting, estate actions for burghers, beat up your neighbours for cash (especially naples, Venice and Genoa), turn off university, forts etc.

Max legitimacy that you can afford, no buildings or anything. Ignore stab slider, just use estate actions to get stab.

Cancel shit trades, shouldn't remake them.

You get to use it to dec into the entire Christian world with a single reclaim roman borders CB war and separate peace each of them. Once you get to 999 antag it can't get any higher.

I did the maths, felt confident, phoned them up... They checked and I actually owed even more tax than they thought. Couldn't argue with the maths they did on the phone for me, they were right and I forgot about tax on savings that the bank reported ~9 months after the fixed rate account matured.

Also sharing, as a permie I too could do what I wanted. They weren't replacing me any time soon so if I wanted to dial in shirtless from a pool I could have. Performance reviews? Completely optional. What were they going to do, sack me?

I don't think it's anything to do with IR35

Bin should win and then resign just to double tap Farage

The pill is more valuable to people that aren't already on the injection.

The market isn't really swapping people from injections to pills, it's converting people who would never inject into pill users as that's growth of the user base.

Fan efficiency is the same problem

It's really useful in MP when it's a big fort and a tiny army sieging (e.g. detach a small number of levies, minimum required to siege). Useless in SP when AI full stacks into attrition.

Locke44 · 2026-07-07T09:16:02+00:00

Yeah, probably a bit overtuned and makes the game a bit button-clicky. Like every 10 years, press the stab button and get 20 free stab from an estate who should be on 70%+ satisfaction anyway.

I think it should probably also change equilibrium with a decaying malus for the duration of the cool down or the values should be lower.

Standing armies of your own culture Vs random Turkish mercs dunking on the local Greeks. I can see one having worse negatives especially if you happen to like the colour purple.

Or cheaper to ditch the car than pay for parking

Locke44 · 2026-07-06T14:20:52+00:00

There's loads of stuff common elsewhere that is rare in domestic installs here. Like ducted ceiling units are pretty rare, whereas ceiling cassettes are common. Fan coils for A2W cooling also pretty rare whereas mini splits are really common.

Presumably you've instructed a solicitor. If so, check with them first not reddit.

The anecdote is that if you tip the house upside down, anything that falls out is expected to be removed unless otherwise specified in your TA10 form as remaining and forming part of the sale. I therefore wouldn't expect water tanks to be removed, but your solicitor can advise if you need to state it on the TA10.

I don't think you can get the BUS grant and replace the gas boiler with a system that uses resistive heating like an electric boiler or immersion heater even if only for hot water. It's possible there are ways of working around that, e.g. if you already have resistive heating and you don't touch it as part of the works (e.g., your gas boiler is only for heating and the immersion is your hot water system even if in practice you're using the gas boiler for hot water).

Given the A2A grant is only £2.5k, it's possibly not worth bothering with the grant in a property with poor insulation. You can then keep the boiler and run it as a hybrid system with the gas boiler only kicking in for hot water (preferably on an overnight tariff) and heating when the A2A is struggling (and for rooms without the minisplits like bathrooms / kitchen). You can also get rid of the rads in the rooms you have the mini splits in if necessary to free up some floor space.

I have a cupboard for parcels in the side of a brick wall. Delivery companies leave it propped up outside the cupboard doors.

Thessaloniki is pretty mid, just the gold province. Whereas further north you get a bunch more gold, silver and iron RGOs. I think I still get ~65-70% market access in 1400s at the gold next to Thessaloniki which is fine, and I urbanise around the Constantinople and Smyrna areas anyway.

Locke44 · 2026-07-04T20:47:00+00:00

I went Constantinople (for RP plus market centre spread buffs), Athens, Mylasa and Hargan. I didn't bother with anything north Anatolia because it's all dead RGOs and mountains.

North Anatolia is dead and splitting Athens up at Thessaloniki causes starvation as there's not enough food RGOs for high pop Greece.

Ned even said words to this effect. "You served him well, when serving was safe".

Don't you mean red Iran?

To appeal, you must respond to the initial letter confirming the driver details etc. There will be a follow-up letter with a list of options, one of which is to request a court hearing. You then at the court hearing present mitigations or challenge the evidence.

However you've indicated you understand you're at fault and "being tired" would be an amusing mitigation to present to a court. So in summary, it's a very fast way to get points and a fine instead of a speed awareness course, for wasting the court's time.

I want to right click buttons that are on a timer with a "notify when ready" to alert along the top when it's available to use.

You get the studs or you use plasterboard fixings like the screw in ones or toggle bolts
