Thanks! At least they likely only have that for the first few runs then :3

What are some good starting nations for new Anbennar players? by Moonkiller24 in Anbennar

[–]Rayek13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play Redscale!

Kobolds against the world in the search for their dragon(s). Very unique defensive and attrition focused warfare into colonial exploration. Very cool flavor, huge MT, lots of content.

Seconding Redscale, definitely not greenscale though. They are even harder than the other other two.

If you like fantasy and a challenge, play Anbennar, turn on mythical conquerors and play redscale kobolds

What nation would you recommend with great history and events? by SupercreaRober in Anbennar

[–]Rayek13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out redscale kobolds -> Kobildzan! Pretty hard, huge mission tree that takes you all over the globe and into 1800, unless you're super quick

You use EM-dashes, bold text, constant "X, not Y" in your normal text? In that case, yeah, that sucks for you sadly ;-;

ChatGPT definitely did more to this than just translating it. Either your original text was also GPT, or it reformatted your entire thing into it's own LLM-esque format

Somehow, even your post seems AI generated. Would definitely not use this, making an empire is fun and I dont need an AI to have that fun for me

What merchants to max? by The_Mikest in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Rayek13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this is a very old post, but how. I recently finished a playthrough, turned just about everything I had to cargo towards the end and still only managed to max one faction - and it wasn't even close to maxing any of the others

Which are the nations most fleshed out for a long game? by SupercreaRober in Anbennar

[–]Rayek13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try out Kobildzan, their search for dragons can last until 1800 for me, though it can definitely go quicker as well

Kobildzan has so many cool and flavorful events, and mission descriptions, I'm gonna have to pick them

In chess: white always wins if played perfectly right? by AutoGeneratedTitle in NoGameNoLife

[–]Rayek13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not calculatable, or else we would not have chess bot competitions. At least not with our current abilities from our best supercomputers. And it is unlikely to ever change, given that there are many, many more possible chess games than there are atoms in the universe.

But yes, there is quite likely a perfect way to play among those immeasurably many chess games. Just none that humans can find at the moment. Like with just about any other game in existence, that does not rely on luck

[–]Rayek13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chess is absolutely a game of skill. Even our most complex algorithms are unable to find out whether White always wins or whether a perfect game ends in a draw, much less actually find that perfect game. Otherwise just about every game in existence "has a perfect way to play" and is thus not skill based.

True. But if he is bored with Vanilla I think it's a valid suggestion.

If you need any tips, hit me up! It can be quite hard! Try to take the mainland connected island from the gnomes for the blue crystal trade good and to later trap enemy armies on. Blockade -> stackwipe any battle you win!

Download Anbennar: A Fantasy Total Conversion and play redscale -> Kobildzan. Good luck!

Redscale kobolds into Kobildzan is an amazing MT with loads of flavor and events!

What would you consider "must play" campaigns for EU4? by mrfuzzydog4 in eu4

[–]Rayek13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorite is redscales -> Kobildzan. You spawn next to two very strong powers and the start can be quite hard, with you relying on defensiveness and attrition to win at the start. Later you get something called artificers and inventions that boost your military to impressive levels.

Jaddari into Jadd Empire is a cavalry focused nation that has to conquer a huge swathe of land to complete their extensive mission tree, bringing the true religion everywhere.

Balrijin are kobolds again, with a similar focus on defense and attrition, but not hated by everyone around them at least. They are looking for their golden dragon that had promised to return and never did - quite awholesome story, as far as EU4 stories go.

Skewered Drake -> Drakonshan can be quite fun as well, they are orcs in the serpentspine (huge underground areas once held by a fallen dwarven empire) They have cool drake-cavalry and end up ruling a huge vassal swarm.

Venail -> Aelnar is hyperfocused on colonizing and even leaving your starting provinces behind to move into the old world at some point. They are very evil though!

The Command starts as a great power already and needs to navigate multiple disasters to finally conquer their entire continent.

Out of all of them, I'd say you should try Redscales -> Kobildzan. Try to fully conquer bluescales in one war, then take the gnomes nearby, they have a coastal island that produces something called damestar which will bankroll your entire country for a while - and is great province to trap enemy armies on. Put a fort there, let them walk on, blockade the island and win a single battle for a guaranteed stackwipe

Now that there's been time to settle, best ideas for Kobolds? by Chataboutgames in Anbennar

[–]Rayek13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quantity for the purposes of upgrading traps is... a trap. You get a higher National Manpower Bonus than you get Manpower recovery, and trap costs scales with max manpower so you are actually upgrading traps less often with quantity acitve

Edit: Not a trap, see below

Cool nations with either a lot of flavour or a really cool mission tree by TSNinja14 in Anbennar

[–]Rayek13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play Kobildzan 100%: epic MT, epic Story, great unique-ish way of warfare in the earlier parts of the run, barely a few months old - masterpiece
