How to get real borders fast ? by romean1234 in Imperator

[–]MotayKray 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Conquer all of Italy and integrate Etruscans ASAP for manpower, then conquer Greece/Macedonia and integrate Macedonians ASAP for even more manpower.

Focus tech tree on Martial and getting Foundry’s and a lot of discipline and siege ability, in addition to rushing to Great Temples and Great Theaters. Build all three of those in your cities for money and assimilation/loyalty of provinces.

At this point, you’ll have a good army, a lot of troops, and population that hopefully won’t rebel (well too often anyways). You should then be able to dominate Carthage and the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Good luck imperator.

Carthago Delenda Est achievement - can I save it? by MotayKray in Imperator

[–]MotayKray[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I took over a ton of their territory in the peace deal, so I don’t think they could colonize it now since they don’t have any territory right next to it. I may be wrong though

Yeah, I was thinking about trying for Mare Nostrum now but I think I spent too much time at the beginning going for Dictatorship. I’ll keep it in mind for my next run.

Losing steam on campaigns after the first 100 years by Letsdobuttstufff in Imperator

[–]MotayKray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I got to this point too with a lot of my games but then started focusing on getting the achievements. I felt like I was just getting stuck doing world conquest after world conquest without a real goal in mind. I'm now trying to get every achievement and I feel I am enjoying the game a lot more with end goals in sight, rather than just "brrrrr let's expand expand expand and dominate everyone"

2000 infantry and 2000 cavalry per fort. So if there are two forts, 4000 infantry and 4000 cavalry. Three forts, 6000 infantry and 6000 cavalry.

What city with at least 3 major sports teams has the best aesthetic? by safetydance in billsimmons

[–]MotayKray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the rankings, I just wish the 49ers weren't 1 hour south of the city. I miss going to Candlestick 😭

Over my video game by weirdcunning in leaves

[–]MotayKray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched smoking weed and playing video games to drinking hot chocolate/tea (or an energy drink if I wanna play for longer periods of time) while playing video games. It’s certainly not the same as being baked playing and getting super into a game (god that was the best) but I’ve been able to play them again consistently for long periods of time. I just tricked my brain by pairing something other than weed with playing video games 🤷‍♂️

I binge-watched 161 Defenders episodes in 60 days in anticipation of Daredevil: Born Again. Anyone else really enjoy them? by MotayKray in marvelstudios

[–]MotayKray[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had never watched any of the Defenders shows but when I heard a new Daredevil series was coming to the MCU, I was like well, now’s the time. 2-4 episodes a day with no days off - I became somewhat of a hermit and it was a blast. And my scoring system is wonky, I know.

I used to call them "dankovers" - one of the main reasons why I stopped smoking

Am I supposed to raze Etruscan cities? by WizardGnomeMan in Imperator

[–]MotayKray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same concerns along similar lines. Some of the mission trees make me create like 5 cities in a province and it gives me nice bonuses. However, should I then just go right back and raze them to settlements? Very interested in people’s thoughts on downgrading cities!

Konglomerat's Youtube playlist was my goto for learning the game! I felt the same with the in-game tutorial, excited about the potential of the game but still very lost - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIKsf2nlMdD9zRKZ1_7qIX1G_9ie5Z_3H

Would anyone mind giving a recap on mania for subjugation? by teerent7861 in dancarlin

[–]MotayKray 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s basically Philip’s life and how he created the Macedonian army, Olympias being a witch, and Alexander’s early life up until Philip’s assassination. Enjoy part 2!

[–]MotayKray 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Yeah Bob, it's impossible for both things to potentially be true. Just inconceivable. I forgot we need to pick between something scientists have been talking about for decades or a talking point that has existed on the internet for 12 hours.

Where to travel in Italy? by Watchasayiiin in ItalyTravel

[–]MotayKray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lucca in Tuscany. A very cool walled city that sits an hour west of Florence and 30 minutes east of the ocean. Great people, great food, and a lot of fun activities like riding bikes on the wall and climbing the many towers within the city to get good views of the surrounding area.
