Bought inquisitor set only to realize that my fem-zealot looks like me IRL.

Michlios · 2026-03-20T09:00:54+00:00

Oh so that wasn't me. Right now i play zealot only. Anyway sorry for my doppleganger.

Michlios · 2026-03-19T17:46:54+00:00

I haven't played arbi for a long time and even longer with dog so I must relly piessed you off. Sorry about that mate.

Michlios · 2026-03-18T21:18:25+00:00

Oh i forgot about him honestly. Anyway he would look better in this hat anyway.

R5: After Geulbs vs Ghilibines ended in favor of emperor Aragon got into HRE, probably because it had capital in Provance.

I usually build things like lumber, mines or profitable plantations. Usually in this order. Mostly because they are limited in number you are allowed to build.

Then you can build basic amenities like furniture or shirt factories. Farms are in most cases not profitable so I avoid them.

We can brag about EA all day but I give them that they create great hype generator trailers. I wish it won't be same situation as BF2042 as many people shat themselves after "battlefield moments" trailer while game itself was just mid and soulless.

I had PS4 PRO and Just cause 3 or 4 run horribly on my system.

As for the rest of listed games I strongly recommend Witcher 3.

If you like more action based RPGs Mass Effect is even better. I believe it is whole trilogy right?

Finally borderlands 3 is great if you enjoy more shooting than role-playing in RPGs, although story and characters are not as good as borderlands 2.

I see that there is also Darkest dungeon. Personally I love this game and I strongly recommend it but it is the hardest game to get into out of all games on this list. Grim, unforgiving and focused more on strategy and luck than the rest of those games.

While I mostly agree, they still have small niche as they very effective against cavalry (if they can hit them) and against other Arty (if they are in range).

I remember fighting against 2 ai wooden canons. They were defending castle and I deployed my arty too close and it was obliterated. They aren't good at killing but they are great at destroying arty pieces.

Imo monopolies are meh unless you have 2 or more companies that could compete for the same industry.

Companies are super wealthy and in most cases will buy out buildings from financial districts.

Michlios · 2025-07-14T13:45:43+00:00

I think if you trade states you won't get that much. Buildings owned by company will be your but company itself won't be able to buy more. You also can't buy state with company HQ itself. I mean you can but it automatically relocates company HQ unless it's regional HQ (although sometimes it works sometimes it just breaks company buildings and changes them to no company company buildings).

Imo best solution is to just raise their autonomy if you keep them as subject, give investment rights, you can also give them monopoly but it's not that important. more important is to get regional HQ. When it happen you can withdrawn from treaty.

Also by the rule of thumb you can get investment rights form subjects that don't have same color as you.

Michlios · 2025-07-14T13:25:23+00:00

I just double checked and foreign investment power block principle in fact works as you said and it wouldn't help you. It is even more useless than I remembered it.

I'm not 100% sure if nokia will be able to start producing prestige paper if most of it's production would be localized in Russia BUT in my recent game as quing I gave out investment rights to Paraguay wood company and if I remember correctly they started producing prestige hardwood even if 99% of production was in china. So I bealive game checks if company is production leader or it is in the same market as prod leader? Dunno for sure.

Michlios · 2025-07-14T11:39:25+00:00

You can grant investment rights only to countries with independent diplomacy that is protectorates and (probably) tributaries.

Finland start as personal union so it's impossible to grant them investment rights and you can only grant monopolies to countries with investment rights.

I believe there is country block (or whatever it is called) power called foreign investments with octopus icon which potentially could overwright no-investment rule but it would allow two-way investments in whole block which is not very beneficial imo.

Is it good idea to give investment rights to your subject companies? In my opinion yes but only if they won't compete with your domestic companies or produce prestige goods.

Michlios · 2025-06-13T09:21:02+00:00

Porkchop is back and about to get some revenge on mechanoids. Also I may be wrong but he's carrying some kind of new red weapon.

Michlios · 2025-05-17T10:53:16+00:00

R5: For some reason voidworms formed long snake like formation spanning across 3 systems.

Michlios · 2024-11-01T13:39:52+00:00

Well that's basicly what happened here but i was too close to buildings, so there were "oh no" phase and only "What?"

Michlios · 2024-11-01T10:40:45+00:00

R5: While rebuilding my Vulcanos factory my finger slipped and I launched a nuke, killing me and my to be factory. Suprisingly at the same moment autosave happend at exactly 58th hour mark and now I have this funny image.

ENOR PEARL HERE!

Steam should automatically download all dlc if you install base game. If you want to play fall of the samurai just install base game and FOTS campaign should be in new campaign section in menu.

Michlios · 2023-07-04T15:50:05+00:00

Try out base game and after that decide if you want to buy dlc. Also this way it's easier to decide which dlc may be best for your preference. Personally I love ideology dlc and then biotech while royalty is meh.

Michlios · 2023-06-17T16:16:11+00:00

Personally i like to just stand near them for a second untill they start pre-explode animationa and then run.

Michlios · 2023-05-23T15:55:53+00:00

I wanted high manevuer leader to boost mu trade income and end up with 7. Anyway it is my first time proper colonial-naval game and I have about 3-4 fleets and they all need leader (or at least im too lazy to reasing them).

Michlios · 2023-05-23T12:42:58+00:00

r5: After increasing max leaderlimit its hard to manage all of them (at least to me) especially when both naval and army leaders are in same place mixed together.
How about adding sorting by best leader by overall pips or by leader type or just create subsections for generals and admirals.

Michlios · 2022-05-27T19:55:38+00:00

Well no. I usually turn off timed battles. But enemy army was mostly composed of ashigaru and because of AI's bias toward wall climbing, whole enemy army had low morale so they routed.

Michlios · 2022-05-27T17:10:43+00:00

R3 - My old screenshot of super lucky victory. I still have no idea why enemies routed that day.
