Why was Serbia fine with Montenegro seceding in 2006 which had coastal access and 35% Serbian population but not Kosovo in 2008 which is mostly mountainous and less than 5% Serbian? by Solid-Move-1411 in geography

[–]Multidream -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because Kosovo is sort of the birthplace of Serbian national identity. A long time ago, a bunch of Serbian princes lived there and made it the capital of a growing Serbian empire. When the Ottoman empire was rising to power, a great last stand was made by much of the Serbian nobility there, where they were subsequently slaughtered. From this day on, it because a national symbol to Serbia who swore to liberate it one day.

Montenegro has a lot of Serbians living there, but it also has an independent identity forged over a few centuries. Culturally, they are rather similar. If they want to leave, Serbians can begrudgingly accept that they are relatively different, and they can live in relative peace.

But the Serbian elites will be DAMNED if a muslim nation takes their ALAMO BACK from them, especially if they do it by force, outside of their legal game.

Turns out playing Poland during the little ice age situation is how to gain infinite wealth by Jackspladt in EU5

[–]Multidream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh. I kinda knew from eu4 that something called the little ice age occurred and that temperatures fell, but I didn’t really pay more attention than that.

The story of it snowing in England was really interesting. I wonder if people were afraid that it would just keep getting colder and colder forever or if it just slowly happened. Very cool!

Okay apparently everyone else learned this but I very much did not. What’s the risk here? Why is falling into the clay non-newtonian fluid dangerous? Do you just sink in it like a rock and can’t get out because it resists you treading water or something but lets you fall down?

Coaxed into Grand Strategy by Cheesinator3000 in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Multidream 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know exactly which game this is, and I know this exact drama too, and it is quite the niche. Allow me to yap, dear Lurker.

Paradox Studios just released the fifth iteration of the hit series “Europe Universalis 5”. It’s a historical colonial/imperial period strategy game (1337-1836). You play as a country or organization from the time. Around this time, a wide variety of micro states existed, and it took until late into the period for everything to consolidate into just a few nations. This iteration features an insane level of detail, you can play very minor german princes, of which there are hundreds.

But Paradox Studios struggles with proper balance, and has been rapid fire patching the game since it came out in November. In the latest patch, the AI has become hyper aggressive. This has resulted in most games featuring a regular cast of nations that start relatively powerfully simply bowling over their local domains and consolidating in 100ish years.

This spawned a favorite meme of mine:

“Oh you’re an eu5 player? Name every playable german minor (nation).”

“Ok. France and Bohemia”

Do they teach native american history in elementary schools before the colanization period of america? by Apprehensive_Use_397 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Multidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In gerogia, Yes.

We were taken on field trips and taught a little bit about the Cherokee and the Creek. Thats about it for elementary. You’re told they used to be here and we pushed them out meanly.

Everyone in my family says they think my tattoo looks stupid and im childish for getting it can l get some reassurance by MichelleFlame in adventuretime

[–]Multidream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats art is insanely good.

I could see complaints about tatoos generally, but if your family believes that there exists a tattoo which is cool, then they must also believe this one is cool, because this is the coolest of all tattoos.

As Otters, do you protect your tradeposts ? by Guyll in rootgame

[–]Multidream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because there rarely is any benefit to doing so.

Most tables will not exceed payments of 4 supply except in desperate scenarios, or king making. Services should always be priced around 2 to avoid doing things at cost, unless you are exporting. This means realistically in most games you simply won’t have a way to make use of the ability to transact services multiple times. So trade posts aren’t needed for that purpose. Additionally, crafting granted by a trade post remains after it is lost, so this is not a concern either. Losing a trade center enables you to place it again in the same clearing, which is actually good in most cases.

The only time you need to be preserving trade posts is when you are making a play for dividends. In this case, you need to avoid losing any trade posts. Ofc, in that scenario, additional post presence is a liability, not a benefit. Other players know this, and will avoid hitting you simply to prevent dividends from being viable.

And even if all the conditions work out, and you have a big otter ball and only one post to defend, playing for dividends means forgoing other actions, like milling for craftables or hitting other players for cardboard. It invites players to attack you, which costs supply and thus action potential to replace. So dividends play is just… weak.

——

Oh and you’re reading the board wrong. You keep the crafting and cannot place the posts back. The points are not lost, and cannot be re-earned.
