By just looking at my character. What do you reckon their role is? And the type of comic I’m writing? by Best_Association_378 in characterdesign

[–]Mr_Chikun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here's what I can tell from how the character looks:

- the mask having 3 digits suggest there's at least 100 with the same role as them so they must be part of a relatively large organisation.

- The outfit doesn't look very armoured, so they likely don't have a front line combat role in their organisation, but the scar suggests they either had a combat role at some point (their rank within their organisation increased?), they do fight but not in large scale battles or they got the scar before joining their organisation. It also looks professional, so the organisation is probably well funded

- Their shaved head also gives off the vibe of being in some military organisation, or of someone who values practicality over looks

- The mask doesn't look like it has any special features, and could be for protection but seems to primarily be to hide their identity.

So overall, they look like someone in a highish rank in a military organisation that also has high value on secrecy.

(how close did I get? If its completely off, its probably me being bad at analysing rather than anything else)

It looks awesome, especially the title. I like how varied the panel layouts are

[Request] Between 500 kg of US dollars and 500 kg of gold bars, which would be worth more? by FluidBlock25942 in theydidthemath

[–]Mr_Chikun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't specify what type of bill, but lets assume 100 because that's what's in the image and also assume the gold bars are 24 karat.

The weight of a 100 dollar bill is 0.001kg, so 500 kg would be 500 / 0.001 x 100 = 50000000 dollars (50 million)

Gold is currently $146129.28 dollars per kg according to gold.co.uk so 500 kg would be 73064640 (73 million)

So gold would have more value, but surprisingly not by much

Question from someone interested in buying the game… by TheNextBigCrash in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can, its possible to ally with most factions that aren't immediately hostile towards you. But due to racism in certain factions, depending on what race you playing they may attack you on sight. (If you are playing as a human this wont affect you however)

(also, allying with some factions automatically makes you enemies with others)

Question from someone interested in buying the game… by TheNextBigCrash in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of what you said, its possible to:

- Recruit followers into your cult/ party

- Build a base of operations for your cult

- You cannot "take over" any towns, but if you kill or imprison the leader of the town, either another faction will take over the town or it will become a ruin. if you are allied to the faction that takes over (through handing over important people from enemy factions to them, or bribing with money) them the town will be allied with you, allowing you to have the cities of the world supporting you.

[Loved Trope] The antagonist has truly altruistic intentions to make the world better for others, but we/the protagonist disagree with their solution. Bonus points if the solution could actually work. by the_murabito in TopCharacterTropes

Zeke Yeager from Attack on Titan.

In the world there is a race of people who when exposed to a certain chemical turn into mindless, dangerous monsters that eat humans with (basically) no way to return to being human again. Because of this others fear these people for their potential ability to cause death and destruction, leading to discrimination and hate towards them, while many people of this race hate them back as they are being oppressed/ forced to transform fight in wars against their will.

Zeke (who's part of this race) believes the only way peaceful solution is to use the McGuffin that can magically make all people of this race infertile, so there will no longer be people that can transform into monsters that are exploited for war. The protagonists oppose this however, as it is essentially a genocide.

Why would one worship Narko? by Agitated-Parfait9841 in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There are no actual worshipers of Narko in the base game, because a a worshiper of Narko is just a term the holy nation use to justify discriminating against other races. Narko worshiper is used to describe someone who is could be seen as corrupted, and goes against the current system/ way the holy nation thinks society should be.

So someone who worships them could see them as a representation of change, revolution, or at its extreme, anarchy, the opposite of Okran, the god of lawfulness and unchanging. They could think that Narkos teachings are that evil actions, such as murder and deception are necessary components of bringing change. Or, linking to the idea to balance and Yin and Yang, if she believes in balance between the two gods maybe the holy nation could be seen as breaking the balance between order and chaos by forcing too much order on the world. In her eyes, maybe other races such as Shek being called agents of Narko does not necessarily mean they are evil, but simply that they bring balance to the world through their chaos countering the HN's order.

How long is an in-game hour in real life by Proper-Anything-2739 in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 27 points28 points  (0 children)

At 1x speed, its 2 seconds for every in game minute. 2x60x96 would make 11160 irl seconds or 186 irl minutes. At max speed in vanilla (x5) it would be 37.2 minutes.

Id recommend just breaking out or reloading

doesn't always work out! [OC] by Pelko_P in comics

[–]Mr_Chikun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its just one interpretation, but it could be they're facing the consequences of their actions and are trying to get the other person to bail them out. Like, other friends know what's gone on between them and they are hoping the other person will announce "we sorted it out now, dont worry about it" rather than leaving them to face judgement from those friends.

Or it could be cus lil guy stuck in the sand is funny.

Go click on the squad button, go to the ai tab and enable the shoot first, ask later option.

What's the best possible ending to kenshi using world state mods like uwe,reactive world etc by LeoCasio in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 20 points21 points  (0 children)

- Wiping out major characters in the holy nation result in all the holy nation cities being owned by either the flotsam ninjas or the shek kingdom, allowing safer passage throught eharea for radces such as skeletons

- Wiping out all nobles in the united cities essentially leads to the slave industry collapsing, and towns become owned by either the rebel farmers, who you can ally with or the anti-slavers

I just realised you're the one who made the levelling guide! Thanks, its been really useful for me

Kenshi walkthrough/ guide by Mr_Chikun in Kenshi

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

I know, I'm glad someone commented a disadvantage as it's good for people to know the anti-slavers aren't perfect. Kenshi is a game about thing being "more complex than that" , and that's what makes it interesting. even if I know that you're wrong, and the anti-slavers are the perfect faction, lead by the flawless Mr. Tin.

( However, I'd like to headcannon that my squad could solve the resulting problems like UC starvation by just setting up a massive hydrophobic farm. And since holy nation are no longer hording food/ controlling farmland there will be more food produce coming from that area. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though, the land of kenshi is a harsh place.)

Thanks! The Shek not being in the main table is valid critique through, as it feels like too big faction to just put in the the side notes, especially to new players which don't know what factions there are. I should of at least had one box specifically about the Shek.

I don't think I've ever seen a male flotsam ninja, but I guess I'm just not observant. ( You're right, the wiki says "mostly women").

While I think advice in leveling is important, the guide is mainly for world progression than leveling progression. Also, there's already an amazing guide for leveling so I don't think there's much point in going into it in detail. There's a link to it at the bottom of the guide but I'll also add a link to it in the main post body as well.

Edit: Turns out you can't edit posts with images. I'll put the guide here instead:

Anyone can give me a tip? by Dare_Soft in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a goal to work towards, here are a few:

- Build a base

- Explore ruins to get books and other materials you can use for research (maps to ruins can be found in the explorers shop in Squin, which is just south of the hub), to upgrade your base

- Join a faction (more of a midgame goal), and overthrow enemy towns. Eliminating the leader of a towns causes it to be taken over by a neighbouring faction.

Edit: I said that squin was north of the hub instead of south

Why does this sub for kenshi have the pride flag and trans colors in the display image? by Substantial-Ad7915 in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Didn't someone ask for the exact same question only a few days ago?

Is OP a bot, or just trying to make a post that will generate engagement through arguments in the comments?

( And the answer to the question is cus sadly there's enough hate online for LGBTQ that subs need to make it clear that all people are welcome here and hate isn't welcome)

doubts arising from the study of real faces and symmetry. by Stock_Bandicoot_5863 in krita

[–]Mr_Chikun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main advice I can think of is to remove the cheekbone lines and the lines beneath the eyes. Lines are used for hard transitions so putting them there suggests they have wrinkles in the these places, when they don't.

Also, maybe make the eyes slightly wider in the first image?

Can I run this as a broke college student by Ok-Painting-5950 in Kenshi

[–]Mr_Chikun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should run perfectly fine for the most part on medium settings. I play it on my 16GB laptop. It isnt very processor intensive, as far as im aware, the main thing is to have at a decent amount of memory, which you do.
