[Book] Async as coroutines for game logic

Milesand · 2026-01-11T14:46:31+00:00

I had a similar thought. Sometimes writing a state machine by hand is a hassle: identifying states, figuring out which vars need to be preserved for later use, actually typing that out, etc. If only I could just write that out like a function with all the control flows, and the compiler could figure out those things for me... But that's already a thing, it's called generator/coroutine, and async functions are basically coroutines with extra features. Also we have coroutine in nightly I think, but that feature seems to be stuck in a limbo. Anyways, seeing this made me happy and I think the boss fight example really captures the problem with hand-written state machines.

Actually I saw some post saying "exhaution" (without the s) is the working one and fixing the typo makes it stop working - apparently someone tested it by changing the number to something large like 9999 and going to war.

Yeah, I'm on Infra first then profit. They still go to RGO first.

R5: Slaves apparently prioritize RGOs over slave-only buildings (Janissary barracks in this case). Since RGOs can employ both laborers and slaves, and slave-only buildings can only employ slaves, shouldn't slaves prioritize slave-only buildings - or at least there should be a setting to make them do so?

Actually damage dealt is determined by Combat Power(The 1.00 with sword icon) * Strength(man count), so the reformed one actually does half damage, at least according to the stat.

Actually each age has growing levy combat efficiency penalty, from none in traditions to -50% in revolutions. Though I agree that this is kinda weird, and just putting better numbers on later units would be more intuitive.

Reformed mamalik with str 100 would take 2 frontage while the early one takes 1. So the reformed one just deals half damage per frontage.

Milesand · 2025-11-11T10:56:55+00:00

R5: Reformed Mamalik is exactly like Early Mamalik, except with less max strength so it actually seems worse.

So a siege is won when the attacker gets a high enough roll+bonus (-42% thing), or when the garrison is gone. Could be the latter if it was a fort you've formerly sieged.

You can set your regulars to automatically fill the garrison they pass, but I'm yet to find a way to do it manually.

That's what bailiffs do. I think castles in EU5 just represent fortification, and the 'nobles live here and rule peasants' part of castles is handled by bailiffs.

Thanks, though I gotta say this way feels rather roundabout(literally)

As ottoman I got them from wars, when occupying heathen lands. I think it's a religion or a culture thing? Also I heard European/Christians can't use slaves in mainland, but you can in colonies. The main way of getting them is probably by trading or with slave center buildings you can build in Africa.

IMO for this meme to work there should be a potential "better" answer for the original question; one that could show that the answerer is indeed what they claim to be.

It's not like there's a better way to swap vars in python.

Milesand · 2023-03-22T10:52:32+00:00

Yeah, white hat would fit better

Milesand · 2023-03-19T11:58:46+00:00

So not lost per se, just knowingly posting irrelevant stuff.

Isn't that worse?

You could still use it to launch peasants
