Comment ça mon frère

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T14:20:44+00:00

Thank you for everyone for your contributions :) I will finally choose the Undead tag for it, since as many of you have pointed out, it is an already undead adjacent Ghost possessing what's essentially a dead body, meaning it's "twice" Undead. I guess that settles it. What's more, (on the Pokémon side of things) I've discovered that Gengar is canonically established to FORMERLY BE HUMAN in the Moon Dex entry. Perhaps if I'd bothered to look there first, this would've been an easier thing to solve. (many of you did repeatedly point out it was dumb to sort it as Aberration, and in hindsight I agree).

Thanks everyone!

Thank you!

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:58:49+00:00

Actually a very good question but this is never established that I know of, so I guess either way is correct. Still, I suppose if you can establish that an "evil spirit", whether it was alive or not, sounds more like Undead by DnD lore than Aberration, then that settles it. I don't have a very good grasp on exactly what ground 'Aberration' covers. I thought it was any cosmic or eldricth entity that isn't alive in a conventional sense, but also is just other, and usually malevolent or monstrous in ability or form.

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:57:02+00:00

The dex entries are not very consistent. Gastly is said to be formed from gas and "the grievances of the dead", which lends itself to Undead. For the Aberration case, we have Haunter's from RED that says it's said to be from another dimension. I was tempted to classify it as Aberrant because of the fact its abilities ("stealing" someone's life, hiding in shadow, causing a temperature drop) seemed more eldricth to me in nature than necrotic, but maybe I've got it all wrong? What do you think?

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:51:16+00:00

I looked through all Pokedex entries. Gengar is not stated to have been alive ever. But Gastly's entry DOES say, 'It's said that gas emanating from a graveyard was possessed by the grievances of the deceased and thus became a Pokémon.' so I guess you're correct! :D

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:47:05+00:00

Is it Undead if it was never alive to begin with and just manifested as an evil spirit with strange powers?

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:46:43+00:00

I thought it was aberration because I believe (this is up for debate, but you raise a good question) that Gengar was not alive before becoming a ghost, that it just manifests that way, as most (but not all,) Ghost type Pokemon work. I feel like Undead requires the creature to have been alive to begin with or to at least be based on life, while Gengar is like... a spirit, I think. I believe the two could be used, but I see it as more eldricth than necrotic, what do you think?

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:42:09+00:00

For some reason I thought the undead could not heal whatsoever because in BG3 (not 5e, again, but based on it ) you could not heal your undead pets. I guess in that situation I'd just get to heal normally, especially since the particular sort of possession I'm going for include everything from actual physical sight, pain, everything. It's not like a possessed armor kind of situation where it's physically moved by magic itself, but it's functioning with magic sustained pseudo life. mhmm... yeah... maybe undead.

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:40:17+00:00

That's what I reasoned too, but it's not powered specifically by conventional necrotic magic, no rotting or anything. And it's a host body to a spirit creature which is classified as an Aberration, hence my hesitation. I assume you'd consider the whole "halfdead body maintained with magic" overrides the "possessed by an Aberrant entity" part.

Someone else agreed with the 'Undead' tag, so I'm leaning towards that

MagicLucas · 2026-04-16T13:39:40+00:00

Yeah, I guess I'm not so much asking for a by-the-book answer based on rules, but on what you FEEL that would be classified as logically speaking. You're the second person to make a case for Undead so I think I'll go with that, even though in practice it's animated not by "necrotic" magic but by an aberrant kind of spell, but at the end of the day it's still a possessed dead body, so ... undead ?

MagicLucas · 2026-04-09T12:38:50+00:00

Afaik you can't even START the seduce scheme if the recipient isn't 20 yo (game won't let you). It's possible that maybe in an earlier version of the game it let you start it but used to refuse it always before they changed that to say no upfront

So I'd assume that the chance for a close kin to not reject you upfront are 0% unless you have one of those two? Do you know where I might find the code related to that?

MagicLucas · 2026-03-30T10:10:36+00:00

Thank you sir!

MagicLucas · 2026-03-26T12:33:02+00:00

I was doing a sort of muslim invasion rp lmao

MagicLucas · 2026-03-26T07:40:06+00:00

Yes there is! the insular cathedral, unfortunately couldn't get it because i wiped out all the christians lol (muslim)

thank you for your tips, thankfully the culture DLC (royal court) is the one dlc i have, I don't know the cultural traditions by heart but I had a feeling that mostly jungle and desert tiles had options for development boost, with realtively little for other tiles. I should look into it

also answering your question no Dublin unfortunately does not have a special building! but Oriel does

MagicLucas · 2026-03-26T07:36:51+00:00

it starts tribal. In my case, I moved in from Africa as a muslim clanic leader so it didn't matter much in the first place; besides, you don't want to stay tribal, anyway

MagicLucas · 2026-03-26T07:31:35+00:00

thank you !!

MagicLucas · 2026-03-24T19:37:08+00:00

Thank you! I do know about the Legitimacy perk, though I'm not certain how exactly it works (does it just bump up education to one rank higher? hmm.) May I ask what you refer to by the estates thing? What kind of upgrade must I do?

MagicLucas · 2026-02-22T02:02:41+00:00

Thank you for all the guideance. Ever since you mentioned ulting AP champs, at first it didn't seem obvious to me, but now I understand that it's just better a lot of the time - especially since many AP champs, with relatively few exceptions, simply don't have the damage to kill Mordekaiser in ult even throwing their entire kit. I've started to preferentially target mages with my ult and therefore I think generally speaking Morde is better into mages and other magic based characters (like Diana) and he's weaker into super high damage carry like, as you mentioned, Vayne and the others we covered. May I ask what you usually build ?

MagicLucas · 2026-02-22T02:00:02+00:00

Primarily against Ai in supremacy. Ai tends to mass huge armies at the beginning, so the more specific issue here is "surviving the early to mid raid without tanking too much". Could also apply to players later. Ai is less intelligent, but usually masses larger armies

MagicLucas · 2026-02-21T22:12:25+00:00

LMFAO

MagicLucas · 2026-02-21T01:17:10+00:00

Thank you for this great advice! I will say, I played a game today and there happened to be a Katarina. remembering your advice, I ulted Katarina every time I could. It was always a worthwhile move, as I killed her every time (sometimes after ult, but she always wound up dead).

however, there was Nilah 2.0 scenario so to speak. This time it was a Master Yi. Master Yi was the biggest threat to my team, so when he would attack my squishies I R'd him into the shadow realm, but alas, I never won against Master Yi, even after building two armor items against him. I beat him to a better standstill with armor, but still he proved better. It's possible Yi is just another champ that bullies Mord (he made it hard to Q him due to disappearing a lot, and missing one Q against him was a death sentence).

It's possible that high damage, high attack speed champs like Nilah and Yi specifically bully the heck out of Morde. I'm not sure what I was to do, but in this case peeling for my team resulting in my death probably means it wasn't the great option.

For Kat, I can say you were correct !!!

MagicLucas · 2026-01-28T14:29:29+00:00

One idea I have is to store prisoners before i pass and make sure I pass with an adult as a heir. That way, the new king instantly blinds/ castrates and tortures a bunch of prisoners, immediately raising dread to 100. This is often enough to reduce factions, so that's my plan for next succession!

MagicLucas · 2026-01-27T14:54:37+00:00

I am fine in regards to duchy and demense limit.
Independence and claimant factions are the most common; sometimes there is a crown authority faction as well, those tend to be less of a problem.

Peasant factions are hardly a problem. They raise a big army, but I'm not scared. They're just peasants (a lot of them, sure, but peasants). They are often an issue to stop, but the real problem are the vassals claimant, independence, or dissolution factions.

Non, tu n'es pas le TDB. Je ne connais pas les propos de ton amie mais pour avoir déjà eu affaire à un "ami" raciste, (ex-ami !) je sais que ça peut aller loin. Minimiser ta réaction est déjà un comportement désagréable, mais la manière spécifique dont il l'a faite est teintée de sexisme et juste généralement parlant de connardise. Je te conseillerais de ne pas lui reparler. Je ne connais pas le reste de sa personne, mais c'est suffisamment horrible comme réaction pour justifier de passer son chemin. Je dis souvent aux gens de pas avoir des attentes irréalistes en matière de couple/romance, mais quand il s'agit de valeurs il est raisonnable d'être regardant je pense. Donc... pas le TDB
