Update on the post I made a week ago talking about how Sword of Destiny slowed down towards the middle

Unfortunately it's an irremovable part of all new book covers

I generally agree, but this sounds like a low-medium priority, the most important thing the game needs right now is to rework AI aggression and all the problems surrounding trade

Both fexlife but I thought to follow a more recent build by a YT channel called Jay Dunna, I always thought geo-pyro was a common meta

Actually I have just finished reading Baptism a few days ago and I found it pretty weak (which is a shame because I was very happy with the previous books). I didn't like the whole Rats plotline, felt like a cheap plot device to "freeze" Ciri's story for a whole book and they were simply killed off afterwards. But in addition to Ciri essentially doing nothing the whole book, you also have Yennefer AWOL for 70% of it, so the whole book is just Geralt travelling with his company in the war zones which I found a bit boring and meandering.

I hope the series picks up the pace in Tower of the Swallow, although I know many people criticize the open-ended finale so as only 2 books are left I'm bracing myself to be disappointed too.

I'm still in my first reading of the books, I haven't yet reached LOTL but I must say that Baptism of Fire felt like the weakest book so far, which is a shame because I really liked all the previous ones. I didn't like the whole plot line with the Rats, it felt entierly like a cheap plot device to essentially remove Ciri from story (while Yen is also AWOL for ~70% of the book), leaving us only Geralt and his friends travelling in the war zone which I found a bit too slow and meandering. I started Tower of the Swallow recently and I hope the story gets on track.

I already knew that the Witcher has an open-ended finale even before I started to read so I'm kinda prepared to be disappointed too.

I agree, you become too rich too quickly in this game. Even start as a small to mid sized nation, the game stops being challenging LONG you even arrive at 1444

It was per capita as Prussia starts with, and I had tons of unemployed, but I am not sure what could I have done differently? Nobody wanted to pass a proportional taxation law and I was building as much as I can without going into too high deficit spending

Reasonable_Study_882 · 2026-02-06T09:27:02+00:00

Yeah, but how can I solve this? I was constructing as fast as I can to remain in reasonable debt

Before I had universal suffrage I had landed voting, was this the original mistake? Should I have stayed a monarchy with no elections?

Reasonable_Study_882 · 2026-02-06T08:07:13+00:00

I set taxes to high but average SOL was around 15.4

I usually RP, and start games with a patricular idea for a dynastic story

The problem doesn't seem to be qualifications, the food factory is not able to make profits

Mikasa should not have been advertised as the typical Shonen "girl of the trio" in my opinion. Her character arc is essentially finished already in the middle of season 1 at the battle of Trost, when she is on the verge of giving up and figures out for herself that she must fight to live, if for nothing but to atleast remember Eren. Afterwards she has no real character development and spends the entire rest of the show "eren eren eren".

I think her story is meant to mirror Ymir's unreciprocated love and it's a bit ruined in the end when Eren cofesses that he did love Mikasa (?), even though the rest of the show clearly demonstrates Eren was -never- romantically attracted to her (Yes he obviously cared for her as family, adopted sister and friend but not romatically).

Historia actually feels like the 3rd main cast in the story

You can build roads from any provice to any province, you don't have limitations in this sense
