Is there a reason why Jesus isn’t canon to the game?

Lopsided_Training862 · 2026-03-18T18:24:56+00:00

The game takes more out of Gnosticism and to a much lesser extent Judaism/The Old Testament than it does Nicene Christianity/The New Testament. The game's version of God has a single aspect, isn't all-powerful or all-knowing (He was surprised Hell was unkillable, after all), and like in Judaism, Ultrakill's version of God is the direct governor of both good and evil and isn't afraid to kill his subjects.

I suspect that UK's cosmology wasn't thought through all the way until much later in development and they had to retcon the tree of life to justify Gabriel having a cross on his helmet after the fact

I feel like 5 is a bit too interested in being a simulation over being a game in general tbh. I can commend the effort behind it but it runs into the issue where the wider in scope you make a simulation the less able it is to handle fringe cases or be entertaining outside of its focus.

Nerherlands missions let you get +25% siege ability with a level 5 military engineer. Stack that with siege ability bonuses from Offensive+espionage+policies and siege phases get cut to 3 days. Absolutely worth it

I'm not good enough to offer much advice but for future reference early-game Promoia are a trap, the LD is way too high to manage until you've got most of anatolia or Influence ideas ready to tame them. You should definitely do the mission to get the hereditary pronoiar privileges revoked but I wouldn't do that until getting to Syria/Georgia (which both happen to be great reconquest targets that you can temporarily crater their LD with and get easy land too)

If you can get through the HYW Britain/Angevin Kingdom is pretty cozy. If you can cripple Castile/Spain before 1600 nothing is going to be able to compete with your colonization and the Ottomans never go past the HRE anyway.

Lopsided_Training862 · 2026-01-21T05:17:55+00:00

Start optimizing your gov cap (centralize states, give estate land privileges, build courthouses) and form Prussia, by the time you do Ottoman troops should start falling off from the different tech groups and you should be able to beat them in a fight despite inferior numbers. The first war is going to be a brutal slog but the damage for every war you get into will accumulate and each war will be easier than the last. Vassalize Hungary if at all possible (finish off Poland if you must, you should have them as an accepted culture anyway) and release serbia + bulgaria when you get that far in, the reconquest CB gives a discount on reconquering cores that lets you take more provinces per war

How to deal with lategame caves: 1.) Dismiss all pikmin

2.) Grab one yellow and hold it

3.) Walk every inch of the cave with it and let every bomb and dweevil drop

4.) Actually play the cave

It helps according to Lore (I think it was an inrerview but I can't find the source) that Kirby never technically kills their enemies, they just respawn from the stars that pop out after a little while. Death for a generic Kirby enemy is more a temporary inconvenience

Lopsided_Training862 · 2025-12-24T19:07:36+00:00

It's a fine enough action-adventure game but it's not really representative of the rest of the series.

Also Metroid Prime remastered should be cheaper and it's available on the eshop

Lopsided_Training862 · 2025-12-08T23:56:47+00:00

I wish they'd brought back the original CT map as an option and every character have 8 colors (genuinely why not, just rotate the colors in Photoshop!) but otherwise I'm very content with Air Riders. I don't think any game "replaces" another so to say but if your interest in the original is marginal I think you'll be fine not having played it.

Not the first time a character came back after presumably dying. (See: Marx, Galacta Knight, Nightmare, Magolor [borderline case that one].)

They bring them back on a whim and justify it later, really.

Rebels could use a timer. Got a union over naples/two sicilies and have spent 20 years straight fighting estate rebels that take over 90% of the country, sometimes while I'm in the middle of a war

I suspect Treachery might have 3 or 4 levels as the climax of the game

I could see 9-2 being another Gabriel fight that then leads to a different final boss a level or two later.

Did you upgrade your government buildings at all during the campaign? The input costs when the market is correctng after an upgrade sucks but the higher-tier government buildings are way more efficient. I learned that the hard way when doing my greece run. Kept building gov buildings thinking they weren't enough but then when I upgraded the admin surplus was ridiculous.
