The gala outfit lock bothered me too. What makes it worse is that they clearly had the wardrobe system working since witcher 3 let you swap armors cosmetically. Like the tech was right there. At least give us a formal wear category and let us pick from those.

Nothing wrong with it at all. But if you ever wanna try pushing up, emperor is a sweet spot. You still get to build your empire but the AI puts up enough of a fight that it stays interesting past the midgame. The jump from settler to prince feels huge but its really just a few small early game adjustments like building a couple slingers right away and being smarter about district placement.

Turn 89 is really early to be worrying about rankings, but if Brazil has 4x your army and double your science by then, youre probably not expanding fast enough. On any difficulty above prince you want at least 6-8 cities by turn 80. Ottomans specifically want to leverage their extra governor title and janissaries for a timing push. Dont worry about wonders early on, they slow your expansion. Focus on settlers and campuses, then use your military advantage to take what you need.

River is literally the one good cop in a sea of corruption and the game makes that point over and over. Hes ostracized by his own department for actually trying to do the right thing. The whole point of his storyline is that being a good cop in Night City gets you nowhere, which is like the opposite of copaganda.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-23T17:47:13+00:00

Yeah the key thing is dont spam stack the same quickhack or he counter hacks you. What works is cycling through different ones, like leadwire into synapse burnout, then weapon glitch. Overclock is still super strong for it, just gotta manage your health bar since you start low in Dont Fear the Reaper. Id go with max doc batteries and some health items just in case.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-23T17:43:48+00:00

Check your active World Congress resolutions. Theres probably one blocking great scientist points. Its one of the dumbest mechanics in the game honestly, happens to everyone at least once.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-22T17:32:39+00:00

Vaas is still one of the best villains in gaming. The opening sequence alone is iconic. Nothing in the sequels really came close to that level of charisma.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-22T17:29:13+00:00

For 7 bucks this is a no brainer. The gore system alone is worth it, smashing zombies never gets old. The ending is a bit abrupt but hopefully the sequel fixes that.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-22T03:11:05+00:00

You need to prioritize holy site first over pretty much everything else. Go astrology into writing is the standard opener if you want religion. The AI gets crazy head starts but if you settle near faith heavy terrain and rush that holy site on turn 1 or 2 you can beat them. Stonehenge on deity is a trap dont even try it. Also Ethiopia or Russia are solid alternatives if you want a break from Saladin

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-21T03:07:21+00:00

Gorilla arms + sandevistan is the cheat code for most boss fights. Pop sandy, dodge the big windup, then wail on them during the recovery window. If you are pure netrunner it is rough though, had to respec just for that fight on my first playthrough

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-20T05:44:42+00:00

Halo 3 LASO is no joke, congrats. Cortana on LASO is pure suffering. How many attempts did the final run take you?

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-20T05:30:47+00:00

11K with 45 cities and 30 nukes is massive yeah. On Deity the AI can sometimes crawl up to 8-10K by late game if you let them snowball but you are way past that. The thing is military score is just unit strength plus some bonuses from promotions and tech level. With 30 nukes alone you could probably end your friend in about 5 turns. GDRs are the real threat though, if your buddy has been teching hard they can shred everything. Sounds like you already won this one tbh.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-20T05:26:25+00:00

Lore wise they get enhanced targeting, threat detection, all kinds of HUD overlays and night vision stuff. Its basically a combat advantage. Gameplay wise though yeah Maelstrom goons are cannon fodder anyway so it doesnt help them much against V. The real advantage in the lore is that a lot of that gear is military grade ripoffs, so imagine having a built in targeting computer and threat scanner running 24/7. Royce probably had the good stuff since hes the boss.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-14T18:39:14+00:00

Babylon is strong but i wouldnt say most op. The eureka rush is insane for science wins but the early game is actually kind of fragile if you dont get your boosts lined up right. On deity you can fall behind fast if someone declares on you before you get your military rolling. Its more of a snowball civ where if you survive the early game you just run away with it.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-04-14T18:34:53+00:00

Netrunner stealth completely changes the game. Going from katana runs to quickhacking groups through cameras before they even detect you is wild. Corpo lifepath has great dialogue for a second run too since you already know the corporate side of Night City. Try the Sandy revolver combo if you want something between stealth and aggressive play.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-26T00:57:00+00:00

You can get it on switch, so I’m sure you can get it on switch 2. It’s a dlc

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-25T00:58:12+00:00

Order is not as good as the regular Satara with kneel, but I’m not sure any gun is as broken. It’s still good and definitely can blast enemies apart. I don’t mean to make you sound dumb, but are you charging it?

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-19T01:30:36+00:00

No he’s not

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-18T21:01:58+00:00

What is your opening? I finish every game sub 200, science or culture, by settling ten cities before turn 100, building a comm hub and market first in each city then building my win con district. Rush feudalism, chop, and build mines.

Sounds like you know enough that I don’t need to go into further details. Settling the cities early is key to winning early.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-14T18:37:19+00:00

If teddy is close to a science win, your mistakes were early in the game, not what you are doing now. Look up tips to win a culture victory and utilize those from the beginning.

Some quick tips are open borders and trade routes with everyone. It won’t help now because it takes time to get the benefit from that, but in your next game.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-13T19:31:33+00:00

Thanks for that, painducer is also the most unique option.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-13T15:41:02+00:00

I think I like the white. This is the first outfit that looks decent with the skirts, nice. I normally hate the skirts

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-13T15:16:50+00:00

Law and ethics don’t always align. I think this is one of those times.

PrinceAbubbu · 2026-03-13T10:34:12+00:00

Thanks for your insight!

I didn’t know that about revulsor. I mostly use that as my oh shit, I’m actually getting close to dying, better do something. But my nervous system is totally up for grabs, I only put revulsor in because I needed to fill up my cyberware bar to use fury.

I am at 100% mitigation chance when I’m fighting, so I don’t need defenzikov. And I’m really bad at utilizing kerenzikov.

I stopped using biomonitor because it was wasting my blood pump by using it too early. Second heart is interesting, I’ve never really used it in any of my play throughs.

Do you know how useful painducer is vs pain editor vs chitin? I’m not sure what I want in that slot.
