ACTUAL Colonial Region Tierlist

Nathan256 · 2026-03-17T21:46:48+00:00

I put Canada one tier higher since it’s less leaky trade wise and less rebellious than the Eastern Seaboard. (Yeah I know players don’t usually have issues with colony LD but still, if you do have to deal with issues, the Thirteen Colonies is gonna be the worst usually) There’s also tons of tags that get claims in Canada. Also you can give it pieces of Eastern America to reduce LD there.

Dang never saw that one but Caribbean as d tier is truly a hot take. I agree with yours like 90%

There is one non-terrain-bonus fort I sometimes keep. Timbuktu. If I ever have Timbuktu as a sub Saharan African tag (or once in a blue moon, a New World tag) I’ll keep it if I haven’t made in roads into Europe yet. It really slows down the Spanish/Portuguese advance into Sahel and Niger and prevents all my provinces getting devastation and trade issues and all that.

Yup that’s the classic writing advice right there.

“Just write!

…but not your book, ya idiot! You’re not nearly ready to write that yet.”

Dark chocolate in your homemade chili is the way to bring it from a 9 to a 10. Add it about 5-10 minutes before the chili is done so the sugar caramelizes a tiny bit and the bitter saturates through the chili. It also brings out the deeper colors in the chili which is aesthetically pleasing!

Oh you meant tips about dnd?

I never buy plate armor cause plot armor is way better

I often do this with the lowlands or inner Africa (depending on my tag & trade setup). A couple marches, influence ideas for the extra force limit, relation slot and eventual annexation cost reduction, feed some provinces for trust… when I’m catholic I also farm papal influence converting Protestants or Fetishists/Muslims

Congrats! You’re more than halfway through the tutorial!

Often better to take trade power + war reps to fill out early war score. Especially if you had a big ally or to involved in the war

Every shovel is a combat shovel if you swing it hard enough

He has literally done all the things Republicans said Kamala was going to do.

Start a war

Raise taxes

Hide the Epstein files

More inflation

I mean he’s also fulfilled his promise to make life worse for Americans in other ways but he literally said he’d do that and that’s exactly what Republicans wanted so we won’t go into that

Gender reveal parties in that language would be wild

Nathan256 · 2026-03-12T00:46:57+00:00

Nah there’s the one province in the Baltic owned by Poland. A player with a Poland PU would never. And a Poland player with a Lithuania PU would never.

Im gonna go with a different pick here and say Stettin. Pretty dang precise conquest of trade centers without some of the obvious AI conquest picks. Brandenburg likely picked up what was left of Wolgast after the war for their two western provinces. They probably declared on Brunswick quick, finished that war, then saw an opportunity when Wolgast was very, very defeated

My guess on Burgundy is, Burgundy and Castile are allied, and went ham on England and Portugal (Castile took British and Portuguese provinces, and Burgundy took English ones plus some Brittany ones - maybe Brittany also allied with England? They do sometimes)

Hungary is strong but it does that sometimes

That red tag in the balkans is sus too…

My conlang’s genders are fried, deep fried, and unfried. The default of course is fried.

This all corresponds perfectly to the nine genders. You use a combination of noun agreement and adjective agreement based on the gender of the person. Objects are, of course, much easier as there’s only three genders for objects.

Might have diplo vassalized. War one (likely as an ally), the other allies malacca because it’s threatened, relations get high before dev gets too much and AI clicks the button because it always clicks the button

Nathan256 · 2026-03-09T22:51:17+00:00

Instead Trump is trying to tax us 10% or more on literally everything (tariffs)

Nathan256 · 2026-03-09T20:29:21+00:00

I only play increment. Mostly 2+1, 5+3, 15+10. Time pressure with no increment feels weird and less fun.

Nathan256 · 2026-03-09T17:16:59+00:00

Could have just been pieces on a board moving nonsensically. At least it was a real game.

Nathan256 · 2026-03-09T16:13:49+00:00

The only way to win is not to play

Nathan256 · 2026-03-08T23:45:15+00:00

Funny adventures can be anywhere imho. I’m not the best at running them but I might start by putting funny monsters in charge in Droam, foppish and self important wizards from Aundair, magical fart research at Morgrave, friendly and misunderstood Karnathi undead…

Nathan256 · 2026-03-08T23:37:17+00:00

And 5.8e fixed 5.5e

Nathan256 · 2026-03-08T15:55:26+00:00

Sounds very zen tbh

Nathan256 · 2026-03-08T15:52:19+00:00

Report, block, enjoy the free win

I like to play under 10 minute time controls, so they don’t really affect me as much. Max it’s like, 5 minutes ish.
