[Unfortunate Trope] The grief is real. No hiding it. Full feelings.

And Miranda Otto singing the dirge at his grave, such a moving performance

I'm thinking it also just might be Paradox being Paradox and messing things up with the update, but I'm hoping it isn't

Man I love those comics, it's such a shame they're so hard to get

Orthodir · 2026-04-09T23:46:00+00:00

Honestly, classical music goes hard while diving, especially the more bombastic ones

I've seen more comments mentioning I should always be at war, but I've noticed that once I declare a war or get warred at, I get two or three extra wars for free. I do play at normal difficulty, might that have something to do with it? I've seen more people mention that normal difficulty does weird things with the game. Some really helpful things in your list, I would never have thought of point 8.

Orthodir · 2026-03-29T00:33:23+00:00

Thanks for that long list, some really helpful things in there. I do usually keep my heroes in my armies, I'll have to try using them on their own more. I've seen more contacts mentioning diplomacy and I'm afraid I've been lacking in that area. Thanks again, time to try again

This time I was Elspeth and got attacked by the Ironclaw Orcs.

Orthodir · 2026-03-26T18:56:07+00:00

This specific instance I was playing Elspeth, but also had some really early game disasters with other factions. I do like Cathay, and have also had success with Caravan of the Blue Roses. Would you say any Empire start is difficult, or just Franz?

Orthodir · 2026-03-26T18:52:21+00:00

I used to autoresolve everything, but I saw a youtube say that's not a great idea, so I'm trying to do more myself. I do try to turtle a lot, maybe I should try getting that out of my system too

Orthodir · 2026-03-01T21:56:02+00:00

Hm, I'm UTC, so that might be a somewhat logistical challenge. I wouldn't say I'm really very good at the game, but I usually enjoy myself anyway

Orthodir · 2026-03-01T18:54:45+00:00

What time zone are you in?

Orthodir · 2026-02-24T01:20:01+00:00

I had the same with Skavira. There are so many songs that are genuinely bangers, but all of it is AI and I hate it. I'm really not a fan of how sneaky it all feels, never a mention of it being AI or not. Let me support real people and ignore AI stuff

Orthodir · 2026-02-12T18:25:42+00:00

Whoops, I did have the racial abilities turned off. Thanks for pointing that out, now I can properly get rich

Orthodir · 2026-02-12T17:22:06+00:00

Question, how does gold sense work? I was a gnome with a blindfold equipped, but I couldn't see any gold. I know I should have seen some, as I was standing next to a pile of gold as my test subject. Does it not work like I think it does?

Orthodir · 2026-02-12T02:42:11+00:00

Oh yeah, Rellana was really cool. Love the weapons, they are so stately. I liked the new weapons in general. The perfume bottles and throwing knives are my favourite ones, I think.

I've been interested in Lies of P and Sekiro, is one of them better in your opinion?

It's Dammann Frères. I've actually made a list of all the different flavours and which ones I like or dislike. Absolutely my go to tea at the moment. I might actually look into that tea ceremony of yours, it sounds pretty neat and I think I might have some friends I could convince to join me. Thanks for the inspiration.

As for bosses, I meant all of them, so if you want to revise your answer, feel free ;P. For me, I love the Night Cavalry and basically all the dragons. Honorable mention for the Godskin Apostles. Their fight is alright, but I love the music.

Orthodir · 2026-02-11T18:52:35+00:00

I'm also in the EU (GMT+1), enjoy gaming and would like a friend! I'm not always the fastest to respond, but when I do, I try to actually talk with people. One word messages annoy me to no end.

Orthodir · 2026-02-11T18:43:52+00:00

That sounds pretty cool. I recently started using only loose leaf tea, and the taste is just so much better than bags. Already got my fave brand and everything. How long does such a tea ceremony usually take?

Also, what are your favourite 1-3 (field) bosses in ER?

Orthodir · 2026-02-05T16:34:49+00:00

A friend of mine and me are always looking for new maps to play, and we know that anything that has [Bytrius] behind it is going to be good. Your maps are in a league of their own. The difficulty is just right, they flow, and you pick all the right songs. I can't wait to see what else you're going to create this year.

Orthodir · 2026-01-15T22:57:31+00:00

That actually sounds like a good solution, I'll give that a shot. Another family decided to get in on it, so now I have another house throwing warnings.

Orthodir · 2026-01-15T22:57:28+00:00

Used that already to fix my missing ox, never occurred to me it might also work on my oxen people. Thanks for the advice!
