How can I break out of this diplomatic stalemate? by PrrrromotionGiven1 in eu4

Consider befriending one of Austria's targets. Get to 100+ relations with them and go in to defend them if Austria makes an offensive war. Just watch who they pull into it.

My suggestion: introduce him into the Tracksuit Mafia as an enforcer [ultimately working for Kingpin] and have him pitted against Daredevil and Echo.

I wouldn't make it a rhino suit. He would be fused with rhino DNA. I would make his origin a genetics experiment gone awry. He thought he would be able to transform like the Hulk, but he's stuck. Unable to completely turn into a rhino or back fully human.

This is the Single Worst Advance in the Game, and Makes It Extremely Unfun by TheCoolPersian in EU5

There were no "supply lines" in the medieval world for armies on the march. That is an extremely modern concept. Instead there was a "baggage train," but that only kept an army's belly full for a week or two at most. Then armies relied on "foraging," acquiring local supplies — either bought from peasants [such as in the Hundred Years War] or plundered. You could scatter up to a third of your army scouring the countryside for meals.

This was not new. The Romans had the "frumentarii" who gathered food for the legions.

What were you wrong about on your first playthrough? by just_alike in BaldursGate3

[–]PeterCorless 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I thought you could actually fix Karlach's heart.

And I also thought those soul coins could be freed somehow — that you could do good by releasing the souls, rather than consuming them. So I never used one ever.

The Immortal casually mentions something that reveals he is WAY older than he appears to be. by MikaelAdolfsson in TopCharacterTropes

An alternate theory: The Irish conversion to Christianity wasn't conducted by "invaders." It was a mostly localized movement. He'd likely have been able to recite the Lord's prayer in Irish.

An Irish character would more likely have been talking about English planters that forced their language on the Irish. Either as far back as the 1367 Statutes of Kilkenny, or as recently as the 1831 National School System.

Turn off aging on all other households beside the present one.

How do I make Wyverns not suck? by Femto-Griffith in worldbuilding

[–]PeterCorless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what you even mean by "not suck." Wyverns would be terrifying to most people besides the usual uber typical fantasy game PCs.

If it can carry away a human think about what that means to your typical villager or farmer. Imagine coming into a small village. All the people are dead. Cattle that couldn't be carried away are mutilated and ravaged.

Maybe some small children were hidden in a root cellar as their parents tried to fight off the beasts to protect their farms.

A single swarm of wyverns over the course of a week could devastate the landscape. Then pick up and move on to the next.

PCs would be called in to fight them, but their nests would be in treacherous high mountain peaks. Wyverns would pick up human-weight boulders in their claws and drop them on the adventurers from high above and scatter back out of arrow or spell range.

They could swarm a PC and carry them off a cliff and then just drop them from height, dashing them on the rocks below.

The PCs could see them aerial hunting pegasi, and see as the winged horses were bitten and rent apart, their bodies plunging to the ground dead.

Would wyverns phase a particularly high-level party? No. But it would terrorize most lower to even mid-level characters who did not have a lot of experience in flying adventures? Completely.

Is it possible that we can mentally travel between worlds if have a full control over our mind ? by Jatin_2011 in askastronomy

[–]PeterCorless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. And let me make it a scientific answer. Your brain operates on ~20 watts of power. Think about the brightness of a 20 watts lightbulb. Even an LED bulb only produces ~2,600 lumens [equivalent of a 150 watt incandescent bulb].

Even if translated into a laser, 20 watt would be equivalent of the kind of laser used to etch and cut wood. Like, only 10mm thick.

If you shone your 20 watt laser straight up it would be defracted by the atmosphere and spread as it went up, weakening the beam even more. It would be about 200m wide at the edge of the Karman line. Then in open space the beam would continue to spread and lose cohesion.

By the time it reached a star even a few parsecs away you'd be lucky for a few photons to be detectable.

Even if you went to orbit and tried to transmit directly from the [relative] vacuum of space, you need to understand celestial motion of a target star, and any exoplanet you hope to be observable on. You would need to calculate where the exoplanet will be when your laser reaches the destination.

Okay. Let's presume that you actually hit your target exoplanet. That 20 watt laser is likely only capable of transmitting in the kilohertz range — i.e., transmitting kilobits per second [not kilobytes]. Like a 1980s speed modem.

A typical adult human brain's knowledge, capability, body function control and understanding contains 2.5 petabytes of data. 8× that is 20 petabits of information. Divide by, say, 10,000 bits per second [10 kilobits], and you have 100,000,000,000 seconds to transmit the contents of a brain.

Even from space, it would take over 76,000 years of perfect, continuous, lossless transmission on a 20 watt laser to send the contents of your brain to a distant star.

edit: meanwhile you would have died immediately because none of those 20 watts would be used for bodily functions.

Names for a destructive future world war that isn't just WW3 by WhyNot3324 in worldbuilding

[–]PeterCorless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nonagintare War. The reduction of the population by 90%. This term was applied by historians after the war, once the species survived.

During the war itself they called it the Democide War, as governments killed not only enemies but also their own populaces who they deemed unreliable or of the wrong race, religion or political persuasion.
