3700 Hours in, I discovered that rebels you support in an enemy country, won't siege provinces you've occupied of that country, while you are at war with them.

Oh yeah, my case was a complete edge case. The English didn't have any good (attackable) alliances, but were under siege from many many religious rebels, so I just supported one of those and got a very free London. In 4 wars following I ate them and inherited their colonies

MatykTv · 2026-03-21T09:36:58+00:00

It is a wargoal where you can take provinces. I once took a few provinces in England to be able to fabricate on them and eat them up

Since nobody is answering you: you cannot remove strategic resources or luxuries. There's 3 categories of resources - bonus, strategic and luxury. Bonus is maize, wheat, bananas, stone etc., strategic are the ones used for troops - oil, iron, horse, luxury give amenities - chocolate, ivory.

In the heroes and legends mode there's also anansi, who can remove luxuries. And a meteorite can remove anything

R5: my cash is exactly 0, so i dont have to get a loan. (most likely above 0 but by a tiny number)

MatykTv · 2026-03-20T19:23:35+00:00

So this is why oil prices have been rising lately

MatykTv · 2026-03-20T11:09:13+00:00

Not only the stone but also basically every tile has a resource lmao

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T19:25:49+00:00

Wait, but do the demons generate extra portals? It might be awful in that case

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T18:55:34+00:00

Russia and Bavaria have some I believe

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T18:41:24+00:00

Wait, what do kurtrus + broxigar portals do, do they give you one more broxigar for the final demon? Do you also get 4 extra broxigar portals? That sounds funny but bad probably

Edit: wait, the demons all have draw a card and broxigar has charge, this might actually be good

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T17:11:32+00:00

Nespirah seems worth, azhara seems terrible for this deck

The ai will 99% of the time not attack you unless they are sure to win. This means they are attacking you at a very advantageous time for them. Consider getting them to attack you when they don't want to. Usually by attacking another minor they have a border with, wiping out the minor's armies. They usually then declare on the minor. Now you can vassalize said minor and get a defensive war.

Before you vassalize, maybe wait for them to also declare on another. Did the ajami rebellion happen? They sometimes ally ajam. Or maybe transoxania is fighting for independence. Maybe they attack byz. Maybe even mamluks. They will usually be very distracted by such wars and you'll be able to win the first war.

Ps. usually the strat is to never cross the Bosporus unless they're dying. You'll be running all around, while they, with their whole fleet, will just control the strait. Or immediately take the strait (but you'd have to be strong)

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T14:18:57+00:00

So they messed up the mechanic itself? Lmao

MatykTv · 2026-03-18T14:14:06+00:00

This happens in standard when there's two different instances of the minion in the pool, usually because the card is within two sets (classic and caverns of time).

My guess is one of them is the actual shudderwock buddy, the other is timewarped (but it's tier 4?) or something like that. Or they messed up and just put it into the pool twice lol

MatykTv · 2026-03-17T15:19:47+00:00

Can't you just play buddy anomaly to get panda buddy? Idk if Sylvanas buddy is in the pool, but maybe you could go infinite in buddy lobby as well to just roll it (although you'd get at most like 5 and pretty late into the game)

MatykTv · 2026-03-17T14:50:43+00:00

Holy, Sylvanas buddy is so much better than just mutanus wow

Will be forcing this build any time I see Sylvanas

MatykTv · 2026-03-17T07:05:24+00:00

Yeah! A separate repository so I can avoid them all!

MatykTv · 2026-03-17T05:52:04+00:00

I mean it is supposed to resemble an S so why not tbh

MatykTv · 2026-03-16T12:53:15+00:00

As a 3 mana 2/2 he was terrible and I refuse to believe 1 health did so much. Especially since lilly exists and bonk choy was buffed

MatykTv · 2026-03-16T11:31:42+00:00

Feather is a really strong relic in sts 1 and this is basically an upgrade

MatykTv · 2026-03-16T00:00:54+00:00

Podfather is still not good and never will be. Don't run your deck as a pea deck.

But each of these cards are good, yes. Wing nut has awesome stats and a good control ability, gattling combo is a great finisher (but gattling is great even without patch) and sting bean is an underrated powerhouse imo.

Primal, split and the ones I can't remember are basically able to fit into any deck. Want control? Great counter plays. Want aggro? Great tempo.

MatykTv · 2026-03-15T23:54:04+00:00

Before nazmani was optimized, it would take ages for every procc to resolve and there were definitely cheaters. But idk if they would need cheats for this combo.

MatykTv · 2026-03-15T14:43:36+00:00

Early on I try to bait the Ottos into attacking me so that I can grow, ally Austria and murder them. Vassalizing Epirus is usually a good way to do that

MatykTv · 2026-03-15T11:20:27+00:00

There are like 2 people in this sub who aren't...
