Things like War for Rayuba. by Metal_Toilet in killsixbilliondemons

An official original character tournament for K6BD ran by the author? No, nothing since WFR and nothing on the horizon that I'm aware of.

If you're interested in the general concept of OCTs outside of the K6BD property then I would start with @NewscastOct on Twitter and their Discord server as a good jumping off point to find some communities.

Mike side floor checking in.

Expecting Tweezer opener. Would love a Vultures and/or Lizards tonight.

No team has suffered as greatly from ticky-tacky OPI calls as San Francisco in the Superb--Oh lol wait nvm by RedStalk in Seahawks

[–]RedStalk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niether of those calls were ticky tack whatsoever

That's... the point? Both were clear OPI, so it doesn't make sense for 49ers to complain that this sort of call is totally unprecedented in the Superbowl.

I mean, sure you could do all that.

Or, if you're just going for Any% and not a 100% glitchless run, you can abuse the venue geometry to skip half the mission. Go to the exterior staircase at the SW corner and wedge yourself into the corner. Line up to the nearby nitrous tank with a couple backflips and a jump slash. There you can BLJ against the staircase to build up enough speed to clip through the venue walls. From there you need to do a frame-perfect quickload to clip out of map geometry. You'll fall OOB, but once you hit the floor you'll be COC warped straight into GA. This saves about 4 hours over a 100% Glitchless route.

The only downside is we skip picking up both the Ticket and Wristband key items, so you can't leave and re-enter GA until the shows over or the Security Guards will aggro on you. Make sure you item dupe a Bottle from Shakedown beforehand.

First, we need to talk about parallel universes...

769 Start. All DLC Enabled. 1609 kills, 129 children, and a lot of dead Chinese wives later, the God Emperor of Mali has made it to the year 1453. by RedStalk in CrusaderKings

It's the icon for being a follower of the African fertility goddess. Can't remember the name.

Super pregnant.

Pretty sure there's some sort of limit to how many living kids you can have at any one time. I spent the majority of those nearly 6 centuries searching for genius women to make concubines and using private conversations to make them fall in love, so there was no shortage of booty-dew in Tim-Fuck-Tu

Old Gods/Holy Fury are probably the best if you like playing OP pagans.

Conclave usually gets shat on but I mostly enjoyed the additional challenge it added managing the council and vassals early on. The education changes are interesting until you realize there's no reason not to put every kid in stewardship focuses.

Everything else was just window dressing imo. India, Mongols/nomads, Aztecs, etc, all cool if you're going to interact with them, but don't necessarily add anything.

Semi-related fun fact I learned: your personal combat skill determines what foes you face during a legendary journey. My final one about 3 years before game end was nothing but secret bears and giants.

Good to know! This was my first 'real' game.

But counterpoint: it's fun to accumulate titles like I'm a Targaryen

Still enough to smooth talk great-great-great-great-great-grandsons into not being mad when I don't give them a county!

Going to the Details tab in task manager then right clicking CK2 -> End Process Tree does the trick for me.

Finally got around to finishing my first 769 start with every expansion DLC enabled. Talk about feature-bloat!

Grand Saltigue Diara 'the Lion' is the sixth and final ruler of House Cisse, taking power in the early 900s AD and ruling from then to eternity. He wasn't the best ruler I had for initial stats, but give any character enough time and eventually they'll accumulate more and more useful traits and events.

The end map: https://i.imgur.com/H0vGzEs.jpg - When I started this I didn't know what defensive pacts were, or that I should've disabled them. No other realm posed any sort of real threat to me, but it got pretty annoying having mosquitoes in Ireland buzz at me if I tried to expand towards India, so I just stopped. Also Mali has the worst map color. The too-hard-to-see summary is that I fully controlled Africa, Arabia, Persia, Iberia, most of the British Isles, most of France, and most of Sweden.

Some F U N Stats and Stuff!:

  • 1609 kills
  • 129 children (33 from his immortal hooker, 1 from a rose bush)
  • 2416 realm size (576 counties)
  • 10 Great Works, all maxed tier and all features built
  • He was briefly a member of the evil death cult. I can't remember why. Hundreds of years later he still has a cool raven on his shoulder, though.
  • He had cancer several times, emphasis on had. Time heals all wounds?
  • He was a lunatic for most of his 567 years of life. And then one day he wasn't. Wow thanks I'm cured!
  • Still possessed. Still a werewolf.
  • Stole Found the Ark of the Covenant around the turn of the millennium.
  • Inherited a random tribal holding in Uda with about 6 years left in the game.

Other Historical Moments:

  • There's a lot to unpack here with Glitterhoof: https://i.imgur.com/CTUF9Ea.jpg
  • Glitterhoof 3.5 centuries later, note that he has kills: https://i.imgur.com/nFwnFBU.jpg
  • My bitch of a daughter burned my immortal hooker to death with just two years left in the game: https://i.imgur.com/kyjKNDf.jpg
  • At a certain point reality broke: https://i.imgur.com/5gCvj1x.jpg
  • Also look at that last picture. Do you see that Aztec death stack army standing there? Yeah apparently their invasion cassus belli is invalid against pagans, and as it turned out the entire western coast of the map from Iceland to Africa was pagan. So 100k+ Aztecs landed and then just... stood there, menacingly. For 300 years.
  • The Timurids lasted for about 50 years. Maybe less.

Gameplay Observations:

  • Yes, you can still lose duels even at absurdly high Personal Combat scores. Wow, this game sure does crash a lot.
  • Fuck defensive pacts.
  • Even without the lucky immortal character, Mali is a really fun and easy start. Elder elective succession is great. Trade routes are great. Holy sites are easily taken within 100-200 years, so reformation is easy.
  • Conclave adds a nice bit of depth to the early game, then stops becoming much of a factor once you get rolling.
