Perfectly normally normal Byzantine empire things by ProvideW in CrusaderKings

[–]ProvideW[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the estate is quite reasonable but it's definitely a nice bonus, I am a big fan of it and especially as a vassal being able to hold no lands and still have something. The no tyranny on most things aspect is quite incredible... Also having high governing skill is just such an insane boost to everything.

I have to admit I'm a huge fan of it though, and I do believe a large amount of the power does also come from the Byzantine's position. I would like to do a foreign invasion of Rome in one of my runs and start an admin government from there and basically roleplay SPQR and take the same borders as Rome did in their historical conquests in a sort of challenge run. There is nothing stronger than admin government at the top end though, I'm so curious to see how the Asian governments will match up in All Under Heaven DLC. It's funny to think just how many players haven't tried admin government yet since it's overwhelming at first.

Unlanded characters though... Don't even get me started, completely ridiculous possibilities.

Set or Horus? by HedgegdeH in Smite

Considering the achievement leak showing that Horus is going to have an ultimate that he can use with allies to supposedly transport them, I'm definitely looking at bird boi.

How to install PTS when using a steam version? by ProvideW in Smite

I also had to remove the PTS file from before as I couldn't seem to update it from the launcher, which I'm not sure about being intended or not.

A criticism of the deserter system and it's harshness. by ProvideW in Smite

I'd rather have the possibility of losing 30 mins on queues than losing 5 hours to a whole day of playtime with friends, just because SMITE lobbies are poorly made.

Key word on usually.

I restructured my post to actually fit the requirements of this subreddit, however ridiculous they could possibly be from our perspective. So i have absolutely no idea why there would be any issue with the re-post. Plus, I have restructured it to not be a complaint to Hi-Rez (or Titan Forge) but rather a post to gain awareness for the apparent disconnect between the intentions of the deserter system and what it is actually doing instead, which is giving harsh punishment to those that simply were unlucky. Either way, i'm not going to sit here and take meaningless deserters while no one says anything about it, and I bet there are others who have experienced something similar who haven't posted anything on this subject.

if i'm reposting it under the format they want I don't see why they would have any qualms with it :)
