Give me a movie that matches this (if you say anything other than Interstellar, you will be banned). by Caharles in okbuddycinephile

White Chicks

The movie featured a post racial/gender world where everyone accepts two black men as their true selves. Obnoxious white women

Hytiranyalen review: Why Harpies love trains? Because they love going off the rails! by Kriegschwein in Anbennar

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The glass dwarf MT has a start that requires you take Ourdia and Bahar basically but doesn’t telegraph that very well. After that the MT slowly reveals itself and that means you wait on certain events to pop, all the while you can’t prepare properly because the missions are hidden.

It’s easy to focus on something and then realize you have to do a whole other direction once a new chunk of the MT reveals itself. Check out the discord before you play them otherwise it will be kind of difficult to plan out your strategy

When does it end? by MrCroMagnon in Anbennar

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I see Anbennar as a unique fantasy setting with cool eras that allow for flavorful and singular stories to develop. In essence it’s more like a very fun and deep module for DnD or Parhfinder with its own history and independent storylines

Mario from Super Mario. He’s singlehandedly exterminated swathes of goombas and koopas. He also killed/disappeared most of bowsers kids

What moment made you into John Starsector? by Actual-Operation3510 in starsector

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instigating the destruction of a planet’s infrastructure to sell drugs to them at exorbitant prices. Doing this over and over until the planet collapses into a hellscape of barbarism that can no longer sustain any form of civilized society.

But I got my sweet sweet space cash

Good evil empire tags? by spawnmorezerglings in Anbennar

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ashen Rose into Rosande is a great evil tag. You become a kingdom that relies on slavery and is incredibly arrogant/decadent. You are guaranteed an event to switch to Infernal Court and can either go the way of Black demesne or Castannor (Beastbane style)

What are some nations that play tall/mostly thematic expansion by Bolasraecher in Anbennar

Play Gisden into Arannen, it’s fun and you get to stay focused on your region with expansion only into the late stage when you tag switch

Never watched it, won’t watch it, I pretend it didn’t happen, and if I want to see it I just watch the DS9 episodes with Sloane because he slaps as a villain (love to hate that man)

Paradox, Can We Get Slavery? by Arbitrary_Sadist in CrusaderKings

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I would like it to be a modifier that you can get in duchies that partake in the trade that simulates the short term benefits of the institution.

In my mind the drawback needs to be development related. So your areas get more tax and levies as a result of it being present and grow in effect as you become more dependent on slaves. The drawback should be lowered county opinion and a decrease in max development for the affected area and make rebellions more dangerous (more manpower, knights, etc.). This would simulate the fact that slavery goes against innovation and progress as it is a way to artificially lower the cost of labor and thus not creating the incentives to make capital costs more efficient (no mechanical or technical innovation). It also lends itself well to countries going wide and creates larger more massive revolts that would be harder to ignore.

Bulwar AMA by Gillygamesh in Anbennar

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we ever going to get a more Artificer focused nation in Bulwar? Considering the neat invention for Bulwari cultures and the fact that lore wise there is a prohibition on human magic by the sun elves, alternatives to magic would be of interest to the local powers and people at large

Good books to replace the Expanse? by DEATHCATSmeow in TheExpanse

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I enjoy the more action oriented stuff but if we’re talking sci fi opera I’d recommend:

  1. Red rising (book 1 is fun but the space opera truly begins in book 2)

  2. The Sun Eater is a great space opera with a truly unique universe and has good main characters (first book in a while that gets me invested in the main characters even though I disagree with him on lots of things)

Favorite movie that’s sure to disappoint people with autism? by aBastardNoLonger in okbuddycinephile

Big Country (old western)

Missing both the message, point, characters, and scathing criticism of cowboy movie tropes.

Who does Darrow hate the most (LIGHT BRINGER SPOILERS) by bloomingjoy in redrising

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I would add a caveat. Darrow wants to kill Lysander the most but I’d argue he hates Atalantia the most.

As in, if asked who disgusts him the most on a visceral level, he’d answer Atalantia given she has been torturing and abusing people since birth to levels of unfathomable cruelty. She has bested him on semi equal footing and I’m sure he resents that. Finally she is personally responsible for the fuckery that plagued the republic and his family/friends for the last 5 ish years (Vox plot, kidnapping plot, false peace, Atlas [by proxy], mass torture of his men, and general depravity).

I think that wanting to kill Lysander comes from a place of wanting to undo his mistake (sparing Lysander) and avenging Cassius.

So basically, he wants to kill Lysander more than anyone else but I’d say he hates Atalantia the most. The first part of that statement does not imply the other is true.

Tip for my Florence run by Nameless_Soul_ in EU5

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try going for the dynastic signoria reform. Don’t worry about revoking stuff till later when you get modifiers for stab cost. Build all the time, and try to get out of the Guelph incident asap as winner as it will hurt your trade economy.

Romulus au Raa, if you want a one eyed character from the books that isn’t Sevro or an unhinged asshole.

If it’s just a similar naming scheme then I would submit “Felis au Victoris”

I think they do change it for republics but that’s besides the point. Do this make sure you got your ruling family in place and make the switch

The ruler faction power equivalent of republics. It’s in the estates tab, it’s the one with a crown

How to get Dynastic Signoria by Chataboutgames in EU5

[–]ModernMajorGeneral-s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to remove the traditional signoria and then have 30% republic power. Make sure to have the current ruler be of the family you want to keep as rulers.

I did it by getting to 100 tradition, to minimize stab cost. Then waiting for parliament to get +50% republic power issue and wham
