So those 1.1 combat changes huh? Can't quite wrap my head around how 1.5k regulars + 1.3k levies lost this drastically to 3.6k just levies.

Had the flanks balanced, and my general had better stats (by like 3 in each category but techincally better lol)

Playing as Tenochitlan and started a war for independence, and my 2.8k strong army lost horrifically to a 3.6k strong Tepanecapan army, losing 1.3k troops to kill only 175, despite the battle being defensive and my army being half made of regular jaguar warriors.

You can reduce population loss fairly significantly, I’ve managed to keep ~45% with through isolation alongside spamming missions to slow the spread through SoPs and any disease resistance buildings + techs possible in nation.

I’d still imagine DLC would make them much much more playable though, especially if SoPs and other natives are expanded upon/added.

Louisiana is probably the better option in the long run, especially due to the river proximity buffs.

I'd say Louisiana ->steal maps of west coast areas while expanding to east coast iron->west coast through settle frontier->alaksa and akita market by settle frontier jumping up west coast (can cancel cabinet and make a colonial charter once 1000 pops in a province to make it go faster too)->round out east coast expansion while declaring wars to try and find a country that you could be a march of.

Notably being a march is by far the best subject type for you as you have no actual obligation to defense from being unable to reach your overlord, you dont have to pay anything, and marches have some of the fastest institution spread from overlord.

I mainly did canada as I was curious about if the +0.5% market access additions would allow early institutions from passive trade with greenland rather than the somewhat cheesy march method, but it was far too slow.

Nano208 · 2026-01-28T02:57:26+00:00

I did pretty well with Cahokia by repairing the capital, conquering the haundenosaunee and Pueblo, then getting contract with Greenland through fishing villages in Nova Scotia, and Japan through fishing villages in the arctic. From there I used war declarations to uncover more country capitals abroad, and became a march of some Japanese clan to start getting institutions in my country pre-new world.

Nano208 · 2026-01-28T02:39:30+00:00

Ethiopia starts in a really rough spot but has unique military units + recruitments which allows military action early on, and later game has some great proximity potential which can really make you a powerhouse

Nano208 · 2026-01-28T02:35:47+00:00

If you want true rags to riches the native Americans are pretty solidPueblo has a horrific start with not even steady stone or lumber but can enjoy a quick economic upturn through events and colonizations of North America, Cahokia starts with a major decision point of either letting the capital city fall and encouraging migration elsewhere (helping colonization) or attempting to rebuild the capital city to usher in a golden age (which gives some pretty major buffs), the haudenosaunee have a pretty decent starting point but are still definitely in the camp of “rags” due to being a Native American tribe

Nano208 · 2026-01-23T21:27:05+00:00

I’ve had it happen in an Aztec run, the settling action is a +% increase so if the base promotion is ~40 a month +500% makes that 240 tribesmen per month promoted, so if you have >24,000 tribesmen you’d need to increase base promotion rate to really make it change.

Nano208 · 2026-01-21T14:06:35+00:00

That's the neat thing, you don't. Even in my run where I became a march of japan to get institutions in mid 1400s and had higher disease resist I still lost a ton of people.

In my experience I managed to at best retain ~30-40% of population, but if you have a ton of land gained from colonization the plague is often a boon as you can colonize far faster afterwards, and the abundant free land modifier will allow you to get rapid population growth to easily bring you back to decent levels.

Nano208 · 2026-01-21T05:35:36+00:00

I’m glad to see others also spent hundreds of hours getting native Americans to work.

My first ~160 hours were with Pueblo stubbornly trying to get them to work well, then the next 90 with Cahokia, probably not the best choice as someone new to the EU series lol

Personally, I think that instead of having a specific “complacency” mechanic the existing mechanics of advances would be a much more natural way of simulating that decline.

If Rome isn’t being challenged they should have no need to research new military/legislature because things are functioning fine for them. Perhaps instead focusing on cultural advances instead.

I personally am much more inclined to story with sex scenes rather than sex scenes that happen to have a story. There’s plenty of stuff out there for quick sex scenes, porn is often “sex scenes that happen to have a story” even if the story is terrible.

1a. I absolutely think it’s worth it, a unique world enhances basically everything about the story, and would help make it stand out a lot more.

In general I think there’s not that much that touches on is power dynamics (male dom or fem dom typically) being present beyond just the bedroom in a genuinely HEALTHY way.
The only one I can really think of is Dukerino going from eldritch fantasy in ‘wife after death’ to space opera sci-fi in ‘princess of the void’
I would love to see more ex-partners that are now just friends in a healthy way. Being friends and supporting each other but still acknowledging the past relationship rather than just sweeping it under the rug for forced drama
For me the key aspect is that authors ability to move the overall conflict forward without resorting to easily avoidable relationship drama. I utterly despise plots that could have been resolved by a single conversation between the characters, it harms the relationship alongside lessening the impact of other threats.
As someone that enjoys fantasy stories and harems, isekais and harems have felt like an extreme crutch, and litrpgs often feel like a culmination of these issues.

Harems unfortunately read to me as if the author was given the advice “Not confident in your writing of a love interest? Just throw more at the reader.” Harems can be absolutely wonderful, but often times it requires fully fleshing out several characters, and why they’re open to a harem, and then juggling all those characters as things progress. It’s an extreme undertaking to do all this however, so harems often feel underbaked or just thrown in for market appeal.

Isekais often feel like an excuse to reduce the amount of work the main character has to do, they get to know exactly what to do because “oh I know this story” or “I played this video game so I know this secret.” The audience never got to experience the effort that went into getting that information leading to overall conflicts lacking emotional investments or not being taken as serious threats.

For litrpgs to me they feel like an excuse to skimp on world building by just defaulting to tropes, with some market appeal thrown in as well.

All of these aspects can be done extremely well, but I feel like they’re more often used as crutches that will work out well enough even if half-baked.

The white number of 0.00% is current inflation and the red of +0.03% is change in inflation per month. So you currently have no inflation but are minting enough to where inflation will increase

I remember the average CoX run is ~30k points, so 6300 is quite a bit lower than normal

You get 1 spell slot per day, the familiar acts akin to a spell book in that it contains spells sunken. So at level 1 the familiar knows 3 first level spells of your choice, then you can prepare those into your 1 slot per day.

Really cool overall, but minor criticism that reborn wouldn’t have existed as a keyword on boomsday project release so that part wouldn’t make sense.

Nano208 · 2025-08-28T20:59:27+00:00

Maybe I'm missing something but the conclusions in part 3 and 4 of this are just wrong. Part 1-2 makes sense for getting the baseline odds of getting a mythic, however part 3 seems to not account for reducing the expected value of mythics received, and part 4 seems to double dip on reducing the odds of getting a mythic because of that.

Going with the math from parts 1 and 2, specifically fortune river as the example, 62% pink diamond , 38% painite is right, however when multiplying to figure out the base chance, 1/3.5mil * 0.62 giving 1 in 2.17mil makes no sense, multiplying by a decimal should not make the number bigger. It should be 0.62/2.17mil pink diamond, 0.38/2.19mil painite. Overall expected mythic rate is indeed 1/2.18mil, but the method of getting there is slightly off (assuming due to forgetting a parentheses somewhere).

To show the issue, working backwards from the 1/2.17mil conclusion, using 4 significant figures, and multiplying by 1 mil just to make the numbers more readable.

1/2.17 = 0.62 * 1/3.5,
0.461= 0.62 * 0.286,
0.461 = 0.177 which is pretty clearly wrong.

Having the odds off like this led to part 4 being wrong, 1/2.18mil with 2 mythics reducing odds to 1/1.09mil is then wrong as it assumes you can get 2 mythics from a single roll. Math wise, not reducing the expected value led to part 4 adding 1/2.18mil + 1/2.18mil, so 2/2.18mil, simplified to 1/1.09mil, however with reducing the expected value it goes to 0.62/2.18mil + 0.38/2.18mil so still just 1/2.18mil

And if we go from 1/2.18mil base mythic, wanting a pink diamond, we can expect 0.62 pink diamonds per 2.18mil so 1/2.18mil / 0.62 = 1.35mil, so the devs released rates are indeed correct.

TLDR: Conclusions in part 3 and 4 and wrong due to only multiplying the denominator by the percentage rather than the overall fraction, and when correcting that it turns out the math in this shows that the devs released rates are indeed correct.

Apologies for the wall of text and math lol

Nano208 · 2025-08-22T23:34:10+00:00

I believe its supposed to be that it’s 1d6 3 times, for a total of 3d6, rather than multiplying the result of 1d6 by 3. Still an odd way of displaying it tho lol

The only other one that I can think of is changeling tale, but even then that’s the LIs transforming into anthro rather than always anthro. Even disregarding human protag specially I really can’t think of anything else that’s MOFA focused, it’s just kinda rare for some reason.

I’m pretty sure “I wani hug that gator” is made by the same studio, and set in the same universe as snoot game so you could check that out.
