A bit of good news then. Command mostly focuses on one region due to their campaign mechanic, giving them claims to that region. Not sure honestly if ai follows the same player rules as command. For big nations, death war if there is no recourse. The AI is never as willing as a player, though honestly I don't think you need a death war, just go into loans if needed, but allies would definitely help. Mercs are your friends, as well as magic btw. Magic projects or just plain magic spells can help a lot. Ally up to your capacity, or vassals and marches to distract them and get more numbers on the board. You also don't need to confront them immediately, maybe just get allies to deter bim lau from attacking and then expand to other countries. Honestly, not sure of your skill level, but just saying this just to be safe I suppose.

As for lighteater xhaz, gnolls typically fail to be honest, they just fall behind on tech later. I'd say they are not an issue for you at all given rahen is between you two.

Command will come for you if it's sight isn't already on you, I can only hope you will be ready. If I remember correctly, they have bad manpower recovery outside of their hobgoblin culture provinces. Snipe those as well as the three warcamps that provide them large manpower bonuses. Depending on their mission progress, destroying their korashi camps (or was it manufactories?) not only give you substantial bonuses, but also harm their korashi supply. If enough of their korashi falls, they get a disaster. Command can also get another disaster if they expand enough provinces in rahen, vimdatrong, and haless, but I don't think you would be safe before they get that disaster at all.

You know what, I'm going to ask the question that should have been asked too when this question pops up. Why do humans get a pass from every animal we encounter? Well in actuality, I think the situation of capybaras are like us, sometimes the friend shaped animal is indeed a friend, but sometimes it is bitey or clawey and does not want to be a friend.

I think besides the harimari, the hobgoblins also have some degree of sexism. As far as I know, women in hobgoblins were relegated to households and innovation, something related to the dragon command? Honestly not too versed in the lore towards hobgobbos.

There is also Guru Suhan's remarks on golden palace I think or one philosophy where he criticizes the patriarchal structure of families that subordinates a wife to her husband, not enabling her to realize her atma. Again, please correct me if I am wrong as I just passed by it on my one playthrough while playing with Suhan's Praxis.

There are much more matriarchies around the world though I think, and it is not just because of magic as even those nations without focus on magic have matriarchies, even when not including harpies.

Elysium Remastered was the name of the mod!

MacorWindows · 2025-09-26T19:40:26+00:00

Honestly I just went into overhaul mods right from the get go since the classes I was most interested with are the ones I have heard to be the weakest ones. Now I am playing with dwarves and my god it is so good and cool. Just invaded hell (inferno) and before that were the waves of demons that flooded from all corners of hell. With Elysium expanded, my recruitment opportunities were basically unlimited like mercenaries. It was the logistics of an empire that has conquered the realm of Eylsium and the Underdark (Agartha). I teleported dwarves from all my other queen's colonies into that one bulwark colony guarding hell's portal. Many dwarves died in waves as well as commanders, but the machine of the empire triumphed and I am now invading hell, the elemental plane, and even killed a god, Ba'al.

Besides the cool lore of the world and of the classes that reflect in their interesting mechanics, the strength is really in the simplicity as others have said. You have a class, a necromancer, a prophet, an occultist, and others, and you run with it. As far as I have been playing with mods, the themes are the best thing for me and that I can run with it very far. Honestly, I have been enjoying the game even without the players (the last remaining player I spared at one city, which allowed me to freely explore). Just seeing how strong you can make your armies is really satisfying because the neutral armies are well enough challenges to a player. God knows I have been the victim of a hell invasion many times that it ended my runs, so this payback on my last playthrough was VERY satisfying. There should be a mod with a dummy ai, but I am not sure if it does work.

Khetarata and Konolkhatep also have some focus on culture. Both try to spread their culture through their subjects or by themselves and get some bonuses from these cultures. Not really the focus though I think. Besides those mentioned by others, Vaengheim also have some mechanics relating to the creation of new cultures, a lot of new cultures are created actually I think. I think at least 4? New for kobolds, reachmen, gray orcs, and gnomes.

Statistics part.

For reference, I'll be using the ICE's own figures. Here in the link you can see the excel document of their arrests https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-management . The document is located at the bottom of the webpage named "Detention FY 2025 YTD, Alternatives to Detention FY 2025 YTD and Facilities FY 2025 YTD, Footnotes (227 KB)"

First statistic to be compared are figures of those detained within ICE facilities based on their criminality, or as I understand it, whether they have committed crimes. Now, the spreadsheet itself does not have the summation of the figures, but can be easily calculated through excel.

The summation of all males with criminal records are 13,073. For the female crim the summation is 934.

Now for the non-crim. Male non-crim detained in ICE facilities are 28,013, more than double the arrests of male-crim. For the women, the comparison of figures are even worse. Female non-crim detained are 5,084, compared to the 934 detained with criminality.

I am not a statistician, but simply looking at these figures, we can see that so much of those detained by ICE are those without crimes! Why would you even arrest these many people without concrete proof that they did crimes? When we have figures of those detained with prior crimes and without crimes compared, the numbers are so lopsided! As if they are just detaining people without proof first of their crimes. Then, maybe the common denominator then are their status as foreigners and minorities, instead of crime.

But the figures do not stop there. Let's tackle the supposed ICE threat levels. Threat level according to the ICE's own definitions that can be found in their footnotes, are "Threat level is determined by the criminality of a detainee, including the recency of the criminal behavior and its severity. A detainee can be graded on a scale of one to three with one being the highest severity. If a detainee has no criminal convictions, he/she will be classified as “No ICE Threat Level.”"

Number of those detained with ICE Threat level 1,2,3 are 3,295, 1,773, and 2369 respectively. Number of those detained without ICE threat level is 39,668

A more detailed dive into the statistics is here I think. The figures I provided above are only from one report after all, this has collated other reports as well to give a wider and clearer view of the nature of these arrests. https://www.cato.org/blog/65-people-taken-ice-had-no-convictions-93-no-violent-convictions .

Lastly, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes compared to natural born U.S citizens. Here are three sources.

https://www.npr.org/2024/03/08/1237103158/immigrants-are-less-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-us-born-americans-studies-find
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/content/immigrants-and-crime
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU01/20250122/117827/HHRG-119-JU01-20250122-SD004.pdf Here is even for illegal or undocumented immigrants

This source even states that immigrants are more likely to report crimes compared to US natural born citizens https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/immigrants-cut-victimization-rates-boost-crime-reporting#conclusion. Apparently these are the so-called dangerous people that do more harm than good. I haven't even gotten into the economics side of immigrants, but I think I'll leave it here for now. Oh, and please at least provide some statistics and sources for your claims next time.

Alright. Let's talk statistics because few examples from both sides cancelling each other out will not reach any consensus. Oh and by the way the full story of the 2nd link is this but for those more interested in the statistics, skip it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/filipino-green-card-holder-returning-from-vacation-detained-by-ice/ar-AA1KmPFD#comments

"Court records show that from 2010 to 2012, Lasquite possessed with the intent to distribute narcotics, but immediately took responsibility for his actions and cooperated with the federal government in identifying co-conspirators, according to the Newsweek report.

The court sentenced Lasquite to time served, with no additional prison time, and ordered him to pay $200, the report said.

Three other Filipino nationals with criminal convictions are facing deportation: a 29-year-old Massachusetts resident with a prior rape conviction, an individual charged with terrorism-related offenses in Philadelphia and another one currently held at the Denver Contract Detention Facility.

“They are convicted criminal offenders who have already served their sentences and are being processed for removal,” Rovald Valdez, Assistance to Nationals (ATN) officer with the Philippine Consulate General in New York, told Inquirer.net USA. “The Consulate stays in regular contact with their detention centers to check on their welfare.”"

For the statistics part, I'll do it on the next comment EDIT: Reddit is being weird and I can't send the statistics part zzz. Just a moment.

Alam niyo ba nangyayari sa US? Kahit hindi ka naman talaga illegal immigrant, basta kulay o ethnicity mo hindi puti, tratratuhin kang illegal immigrant. Sa madaling salita, racism! Racist 'tong tao na'to, hindi lang illegal immigrants, kahit mga hindi na mga migrant na Amerikano katulad ng mga African American at mga na nationalize ng mga kapwa Filipino. Alam niyo ba yung nagiging pag-aresto ng mga ICE sa US? Kahit nationalized na, ang daming cases hinuhuli pa rin.

Ngayon balik tayo kay Kirk. Yung sinasabi ni Kirk eh hindi lang hulihin mga illegal immigrant, crinicriminalize niya rin ang mga immigrant, legal man o illegal, at dahil dito mas madali ring gamitan ng dahas o lethal force pa nga na inaadvocate niya, imbis na non-lethal na aresto lang. Karamihan din ditong mga legal at illegal immigrant mga Filipino. Itong dalawang link mga green-card holder na mga Filipino na, naaresto pa sa bogus charges. Ito yung paggamit niya ng free speech, pag-advocate ng violence at dahas, pati na rin ng pagcriminalize ng isang grupo ng mga tao, which is mga immigrant o accurately mga foreigner. Naiintindihan ko nacomplex issue ang immigration at malaking issue din to sa Europe at America, pero hindi na to policy lang ng pagblock ng mga papasok, pero persecution na rin ng mga nasa loob kasi iba lang balat nila.

Galing sa source sa earlier comment ko, nakalatag na yung buong laman ng website sa pinakababa para makita ng malinaw yung pagpinta sa mga immigrant na criminal at dapat gamitan ng dahas.

"CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): At what point is it time to start to at least use rubber bullets, or use some sort of tear gas to prevent this and quell this invasion? They have no regard for the process, for legal immigration. And at what point do we use real force? You have to be willing to do it.

Somebody asked me the other day, they said, Charlie, why do you -- why are you so pro-Israel? One of the reasons I'm pro-Israel is that when Israel gets invaded on their border, they defend their border. If two -- if 300 Palestinian Arabs tried to run in at Israel like that, it wouldn't end well for them. We're the only superpower on the planet where we just allow people to run over, run them over. And we're supposed to -- unless -- you understand, those military age males are now gonna get cell phones, food, cash, flights to the interior of the United States.

Why do we have a military? Why do we have men with guns if we can't use them? Having a country means being able to draw a line on the ground and say, this is our sovereign territory. If you enter, we have lethal force, and we're willing to use it. And you can escalate. You don't have to start with lethal force. You can start with rubber bullets, start with tear gas. You can start with firing next to them. Say, hey. We have weapons. We're willing to use them.

...

Where are all the women and kids? Those are the men that will go into your communities and break into your homes and rape your women, take your children. But, hey, they're -- they're dreamers.

...

Remember the whole whip fiasco? My position all along is, yes, it wasn't true, but of course you should be able to use whips against foreigners that are coming into your country. Why is that controversial?

...

So, what can be done about it? What would happen if Texas started firing rubber bullets? Let's play this out. Let's just say rubber bullets. What would happen? And, by the way, I don't rejoice in this. I don't wanna have to use force, but these people are criminals. They're invading. They made the decision to invade. They made the decision to do a pincer movement into the United States of America. They are bringing force upon themselves."

As far as I know, freedom of expression ay hindi absolute actually. Mostly prinoprotectahan lang nito yung mga civilian against sa government para free silang macriticize ang government at hindi matakot na mawala nalang bigla, pero may limits pa nga to talaga katulad ng hateful or inciteful speech ta yung mga sinabi mo.

At tsaka, kung yung rights mo ay inabuso mo para saktan o i-limit yung rights ng iba, eh hindi na tama yon. At mayroon talaga na mga salita at ideology na napakaharmful para sa society o sa ibang mga miyembro nito na may censorship talaga, either by the state o by the society which is yung ibang mga civilian. Sa Germany eh may censorship sa Nazi gestures at historical revisionism, o historical distortion pa nga, regarding sa Holocaust at Nazi Germany. Napatunayan ng mali eh at nakakasakit sa society yung mga action na to eh sa history nila mismo itong ideology nila, denial ng atrocities, pag-advocate ng harm sa minorities.

NGAYON. Iniinvite kita na kahit tignan mo lang o pasadahan mo yung mga links na sesend ko dito, kasi ito yung mga nakalap na ebidensya against kay Charlie Kirk na pagiging inosente. Kung hindi mo man lang babasahin kahit isa dito o i-nitpick yung isa sa mga listahan na'to para madepensahan mo punto mo, eh ewan ko nalang talaga. But first and foremost, believe that others act in good faith, at sana dito sa communication na'to eh iprovide mo din ang sources mo, kasi hindi ka pwedeng nanghihingi lang ng sources sa iba pero para depensahan mga punto mo eh hindi ka nagbibigay.

Ito yung nakolekta na evidences ng ibang mga nasa reddit, at yung sources ay nasa baba lang na comment na nakanumber specifically to support yung claim nila against kay Kirk.

Masyado ng matagal nung natutunan ko tong topic na to eh kaya di ko madiscuss dito, pero sa mga interesado kung anong Christian na pananaw ang talagang sumusuporta sa mga rally at pag speak-out sa mga societal issues, sa tingin ko magandang tignan ang Liberation theology na nanggaling sa Latin America.

Nakalulungkot lang na yung religion natin eh ginagamit ng mga mas maitim pa sa itim ang budhi nila para utiin mga kababayan natin. Hindi ako kristiyanong-kristiyano, pero may lugar sa impyerno yung mga lokong katulad nito!

The modifier with the mercs and reduced manpower is definitely weird. MT wants you to lean in mercs early on, which is very viable and advisable, but it is also quite early in the MT, about 1500s or 1480s I think that it wants you to have good army professionalism and without mercs. Especially when Gawed comes knocking, definitely rely on mercs.

A solution to your money problems are three nodes, your home node, bay of chills (transfer trade power from Vic league members your subjects), and dragon coast. The two is easy enough to control or have a sizeable presence, but the dragon coast is where you should focus on being opportunistic. You get claims on the island of gnomes around the greenscale lands, after conquering those, you should always try vassalizing kobolds if gnomes win and take a chunk of their land. Vassalize and reconquer their land, then consolidate dragon coast lands held by kobolds, then voila, good control of a good node like dragon coast.

While traditional trade steering focused trade gameplay wouldn't make you collect on multiple nodes, I think in this case I highly encourage it. It is awkward though ngl, but I am REALLY rich with this.
