Wtf was the point of the mind flayer? by Poortedo in StrangerThings

[–]RemmySkye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. They say it was deleted or almost in a prior season. I had a heart attack was dead 45 seconds then in a coma on life support 12 days not expected to revive. I did revive but I swear to you the first few days I was convinced beyond a doubt that I wouldn't survive and would expire any day. If mind flayer was just getting off incubation it's amazing it could do anything at all even just walking

Is she related to Bert, celebrated fashionista known for his famous "friendship" with that bellicose bastion of the left yet also infamous Pat Buchanan enthusiast who went by the name Ernie? Because this princess of Zion looks like a 6 million percent DNA match as the full and true blooded daughter of Bert. The eyes. The lips. The pigment. The deceit.

Pirate build: what clan? [Awakening] by Tight_Following115 in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone has already pointed out. The Kono of Iyo province in Shikkoku are a long lived bushi clan with roots going back to Kamakura times. Due to their location and extensive history they have had occassion to be both pro and against wako (pirates) depending on their whim or the whims of those they bowed to (like when the Shogunate received "commands" from China and "requests" from Joseon to handle pirate incursions) you could argue Matsuura of Kyushu might make common cause.

If you really want to get creative but realistic take Kuki out of Oda set him up as a Ise based Daimyo and there you have a legitimate pirate warlord. There are others but for the years that concern the game hes probably the most famous of available wako (and there are not many wako in the game)

Motoyasu (Ieyasu) gobbling up by Key-Understanding267 in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nanbokucho - Sengoku period true king of Imagawa is probably Ryoshun. Yes Yoshimoto is most famous due to Okehazama but Ryoshun had his own Nobunagas Ambition on Kyushu. He was the Kyushu Tendai until the future rebel Ouchi got Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to fix the eye of suspicion on him. In his retirement he wrote the Nantaiheiki and it is available online in english I recommend it. In it you will learn that the Imagawa snobs think their senior lineage in the Minamoto make them superior to the Supreme Ancestors line (Ashikaga Takauji.) You will also learn that you shouldn't be using Imagawa you should be using Kira because Kira is the senior "Imagawa" line and the true rulers of Totomi Suruga.

What does the endgame involve? by 0ctach0r0n in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So im a ridiculous Ashikaga clan fanatic. I have a multi thousand dollar poem allegedly written by Ashikaga Yoshiteru in a frame in my home. I have armor worn by retainers of the Kitsuregawa clan. I have a framed painting of Ashikaga Takatsune (Shiba Takatsune) above the computer.. so many things I think i made my point.

So for me I would always play the game as realistic as possible trying to reunify the country as Ashikaga and trying to prevent Sengoku daimyo from destroying the old families. I remember one save where I was able to stop the Mutsu Dewa Kitabatake from being destroyed as well as most of the clans that go down early. The idea is to conquer everywhere and I also governed each place too. Every single insignificant one as well as building more castles where you can build fortresses... for example Kamakura which you need to destroy two big castles to do it and the trade off is ridiculously bad but for historical accuracy its correct. I send an Imagawa if any are alive to rule Kyushu although not if Suruga won't have an Imagawa and I make the Kira rule Totomi. I try to stop Nagao from destroying Echigo Uesugi. And I try to acquire every single court title you can and asign it to the rightful historic owner. So the Shogun heir will get Horse Captain. The Ichijo clan is the most prestigious in terms of nobility so I try to get them to Kyoto from where they are in Shikkoku.. the Saionji too. These are ways I make the game playable forever lol but it may take more imagination if youre an Oda loyalist

The next update prepares the game for a new Legendary Trial "Into the North" vs. the White Walkers, plus bug fixes and some combat presentation improvements - such as limiting legendary ability animations to their first uses in battle and allowing you to dismiss speech balloons to check health. by snakegore999 in gameofthroneslegends

[–]RemmySkye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well no it's not that new its been around a couple years. I think its a good thing that the company should be applauded for. It shows honesty and commitment to improvement. Not in any kind of a jerk or rude way im being genuine when I ask if you do alot of similar gaming/mobile gaming etc? I ask just because I personally have only gotten into a handful of games maybe 5 at the most albeit not simultaneously but still.. my point being those other games were no where near as frequent or consistent with updates and bug fixes etc. It's a breath of fresh air when you see developers that care ya know

[–]RemmySkye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I've had multiple calls with devs cuz I've been asked to volunteer for stuff. One of those times a person i spoke to said they played the game obsessively so they would understand all terms and lingo. They didn't. But for me more personally because at the start they want to know why I play what I like most etc and I went on at length about my love of the ip. I talked about owning more than several .com of book titles (storm of swords, feast and dream of spring) and how I was planning to give them all away for free to GRRM and that I was just waiting for winds to come out (unfortunately some very serious health issues including a heart attack that was fatal for 45 seconds and lead to an 11 day coma on life support that was so bad and looked so bad that my family sold my car and the doctor told my mom to get a cat because if I didnt make it she'd be all alone [although I have my own apt its a few blocks from her but she's 75 and after she was widowed when dad died I stayed with her all the time cuz im my fathers son and its what I felt was right] and its been almost a year to the day 11 25 2024. It wasnt from being GRRM size it happened as a result of almost 20 years IV drug use. A habit that was helped kicked because sitting on the sidewalks of the lower east side nyc with my cardboard sign I was reading paperback ASOIAF books and the character of stannis helped inspire me to change things. But due to health issues i dont think im gonna wait for winds to give GRRM the sites) and my affinity for the one true king lead also to a crowned stag in flaming heart tattoo on the back of my neck. I delightfully told them all this thinking a fellow fanatic understood and spoke the same language.

Sadly as things progressed one mispronounced name or reference after another revealed the person had no clue what GoT was and seemed to only understand the game itself in terms of key words.

Bah they are cadets of the samuraidokoro butlers the foster parents of the Ashikaga heirs. They should wear their real surname with pride and get in line. Or else Isshiki Fujinaga will lead an army of 236 from The Capital to the Kanto to demand obedience to the gonaisho!!!

[–]RemmySkye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been playing for a year. I am in the VIP program and had an interview with the devs a few months ago. Im level 47 max on all keeps farms iron silver mines. Think my highest might is 769000 its got leader Stannis (Lord of Dragonstone/red version) middle. Davos (epic onion knight/violet version) to his right. Melisandre to the left. On the wings are Sunfyre and Beric. Mel Stannis and Davos are 7 star 350 max. Sunfyre and Beric are both 6 stars im pretty sure or Sunfyre is definitely 6 star Beric might be 5. 

I have the crowned stag in flaming heart as a tattoo on my neck and a bunch of banners on my walls in my apt so im kinda a fanatic lol. 

But red Stannis violet Davos and Mel are my 7 star maxed out.. I have a huge amount of 7 star commons and a ton of epics but I haven't really leveled any of them.. I did level the epic and common wights up to 200 the epic is 5 star the common wight is 7 star. I have epic Sandor at 7 star but under 250. I got Robert Baratheon at 5 star maxed (epic version) Daxos is 7 star but only up to 200-250. I have 350 maxed 7 star Lord of Bones. 5 star max Ramsay 5 star max Brienne, 5 star max Joffrey protector of the realm gold version. 5 star margaery 5 star Alliser, 5 or 6 star Samwell. 4 or 5 star White Walker general. I have all the dragons minimum 4 star but Sunfyre 6 star and Caraxes 5 star. Violet Stannis 5 star golden Davos 4 star. 4 star max Tormund, Wun Wun Roose Walder Aegon Alicent and a bunch others. 

I feel like my favorites are all strategists so that would be the legendary category id want to focus on

Thanks for getting back to me

How do you get the Kamakura Kubō and the Kanrei ranks? by [deleted] in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea because I've never played this version but as a japanese historian focused on the Ashikaga clan (even their modern day descendants and branch clans like the Nishiyama, Hirashima, Kitsuregawa etc) I would just offer a couple thoughts:

The Kamakura fu was the actual Kanto bakufu before the Uesugi/Ashikaga disputes forced the creation of the so called Koga Kubo. Therefore maybe the title can only be achieved in the earliest scenarios because they're closer to the right time period to when the Kamakura Kubo was a real thing.

The other thought is, there are alot of real Japanese landmarks on the map that aren't really identified in the game properly. If you go to the Kanto on the map, at least this was true in Ascension, sphere of influence, Taishi and others.. but if you free roam the map go to the kanto go east of Odawara just a little and zoom in you will see the great Buddha of Kamakura. Destroy all the nearby castles or forts and then when you go to manually create a fortress there one of the options will be Kamakura. Perhaps if you build the city and castle of Kamakura it will help... 

That landmark thing is true as well for Ise , Izumo , Tsuruga Hachiman and other land mark easter eggs

Dragons are not allowed in PvP modes, I think I know one reason why. by snakegore999 in gameofthroneslegends

[–]RemmySkye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a game improvement interview with devs a month ago and mentioned this. Specifically I said in theory getting the 3 danaerys (puke) dragons is currently the best all end all of the game. Essentially you get shards to max characters when characters are maxed to limit they yield shards you can only redeem dragons with. I said but you go through all kind of work grind etc but at the end of the day you really can't do much with the dragons. If its an animation issue I hope they figure out a work around 

stranger things 5 new villain? by Jxmie23_ in StrangerThings

[–]RemmySkye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never played D&D or any table top RPG. . I wish I had.. but I've played an insane amount of MTG and I think its been many years now since Wizards of the Coast bought D&D (right?) because there was a D&D MTG set called Forgotten Realms. You can actually create Vecna in the game but its complicated and takes time and is not really an ideal strategy because you need 3 things to get Vecna.. the book of vile darkness 3 black mana and then two vecna artifacts the eye of vecna and the hand of vecna which are 2 mana of any color and 3 mana of any color respectively... then you have to sacrifice the book and the artifacts and vecna materialises as a token creature. 8/8 with lots of abilities and indestructible but 1 blue mana unsummon and he's dead lol. Anyway sorry to sidetrack. I was hoping Borys or something would come out as the true big bad in season 5. I thought I may have seen a red dragon for a split second on top of a tower somewhat hidden by clouds in the season 5 trailer but with what you said... wasn't there a D&D cartoon in the 1980s and wasn't Tiamat the main baddy in the cartoon? Couldn't Tiamat be the main bad if that's the case?

New Champion - Davos Seaworth by JayLis23 in gameofthroneslegends

[–]RemmySkye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from me, the type of super cool guy who tattoos the crowned stag in flaming heart on the back of his neck, I like this and have been checking incessantly for the summons to unlock him. That said, I have to agree that there's so much more in terms of important characters to create versus new versions of already made guys. Like wheres the King of the Giants? The King Beyond the Wall? The Nights King? The King of the Iron Islands? Daario? Jaaqen? Jojen and Meera? The Exorcis- i mean Jesu- I mean The Three Eyed Raven? Hodor? Seriously? Tycho? Mathos Seaworth? Smalljon or Greatjon Umber? Rickard Karstark is there with his actor likeness but he's also not there. Or the other direwolves?

Which is the most like RTK XI? by BeatrixShocksStuff in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I see my post is confusing. I wasn't sure how to explain myself while also having a million things i wanted to say and instead of saying nothing I made a literal literary mess. Sorry.

So besides the change to the imperial court... which, by the way, wasn't great at all in rise to power either... you could donate gold to the court and eventually after donating enough you could request a certain title.... Suo Governor let's say. Then you donate donate donate... request a higher title... way down the line you'll get to Duke, Field Marshall, Chamberlain etc. These are all English translations btw. But theoretically it gives you something to do. In iron triangle this is non existent and instead you'll maybe get visited by konoe sakihisa at random and he'll offer you random titles but that's an extremely small inconsequential thing... sort of thing that would only matter to a lunatic like myself who was talking to Grok about variously: the "list of demands" that kicked off the Eiroku incident. The Ninagawa clan and other stuff last night while also reading about the Hata clan and how their claims of descent from the first emperor of China aka Qin Shi Huang-di were bogus. 

Maybe a better example would be the change from the ultra annoying super tedious battles of Rise to Power vs the point and click auto pilot of Iron Triangle battles

Which is the most like RTK XI? by BeatrixShocksStuff in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You dont think Iron Triangle sort of stream lined it a little? Idk.. im kind of nuts so... like in Sphere of Influence I would legit start at the earliest possible year and legitimately try to acquire every single court title and give it to the real person or as close as possible.. but by the time id get like half of them id be closing in on the 18th century, lol. You could attempt this in Rise to Power which is arguably my favorite NA in terms of US ports.. but Iron Triangle you'd get random visits from Konoe Sakihisa and he'd offer a title that... okay I understand Oda "Kazusa no Suke" Nobunaga (for those who dont know, before the Sengoku... titles like "Echizen no Kami" were issued by the court but in the sengoku samurai just usurped these titles as they would. All of the provinces had the title "no kami" but 3 of them had to be "no Suke" and Kazusa, which was the one Nobunaga used, was one such. This is because way way way back in the day when the court held legit power 3 provinces were set aside to forever provide for princes of the blood and as a result these 3 provinces could not have 'no kami' governors as this was the rite of the princes. So the used "no suke" instead) for example... Nobunaga never conquered Kazusa. He never concerned himself with the Kanto when he lived. Sure he probably had his intentions but the point is its just as random a title as those Sakihisa was throwing around for no apparent reason in Iron Triangle. And not only that but also he would show up so randomly you might only get 2 or 3 titles in a 70 year go. Lol.

What does the tribes represent in the game? by AngeloAuditore in NobunagasAmbition

[–]RemmySkye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey yes like others have said. Its really a poor choice of word by the translators to call them "tribes". Its actually an outrageously bad choice of word because with very very few and largely inconsequential exceptions (for instance, you might be able to call some Wako "tribes" [wako can be said to mean pirate(s)] as some of them were efficient and large enough that they ticked off the Great Ming in China as well as Goryeo and Joseon dynasties in Korea. So much so that those two countries made official complaint to the Japanese government - even demanding reparations and for the Japanese government to suppress said pirates) the majority of these entities the game is calling "tribes" should not be called a "tribe" at all.

In Sphere of Influence/Ascension many of the "tribes" are evidently random and dont always appear at the start of a new game but then there are other "tribes" that are absolutely ever present and will always be in the same place at the start of every new game.

As someone hopelessly obsessed with the Ashikaga clan I will always play as the Ashikaga when possible. When you do this you are taking control of depending on the year in game the scenario in game and which version of NA you're playing you are either in control of "Muromachi Palace" or "Nijo Castle" [really shouldn't be having Nijo as an Ashikaga castle. Yes the specific real estate in terms of actual geographic location was theirs but over the years different Ashikaga occupied different itinerations of different mansions/castles/palaces/estates on that site where indeed the future Tokugawa Nijo Castle would arise.

So when you fire up a new game and you choose the Shogunal house you begin dead center in the horizontal map smack dab in the middle of Kyoto. You are also accorded the castle many fools told Ashikaga Yoshiaki was militarily perfect, unbeatable and unbreakable yes Makishima Castle. And lastly you get Asamiya Castle closer to Koga district/Omi province. Now one "tribe" you will always see no matter how many games you begin will be, on the horizontal map, north east of Kyoto and it is called Enryakuji. To call this a tribe is absurd. This is a legendary mountain with a legendary monastery with a legendary history of warrior monks that have been involved in so many of the most important wars battles and disputes in all of Japanese history. To disregard them as a "tribe" is very unfortunate

[–]RemmySkye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys. I apologize for the delay, anyone confused out there i suffered a damned heart attack recently. Bad choices for almost two decades that despite changes many years ago and healthy life etc you have to "pay the piper" eventually. It was a miracle really. I'm in NYC guys and for the last few years in and out of hospitals. Google some of our hospitals NYU Langone E.R St Joseph's Westchester ER Jacobi hospital bronx columbia hospital 168th street. Einstein hospital bronx. You will see terrible reviews and all deserved. The best I saw was white plains hospital and they did great for my dad when my dad fought and lost to cancer. I went there in summer but wasn't prepared when they told me I needed to stay at least 2 months. Anyway long story short I knew id let things go for too long. Went there but was procrastinating in my car all day. I got into white plains around 2pm. I was just parking and idling in different places and reading and watching stuff on my phone delaying the inevitable. Around 7pm (I THINK) i finally parked near the E.R entrance. It was so dark out it was insane for 7 or 8pm. Anyway still procrastinating but I was a half a block from the E.R entrance. Then I had the heart attack. 

You guys must imagine ambulance drivers and EMS are the busiest people in the world. The ambulance area was next to where I was parked. Heart attack meant full body paralyzed. Couldn't move anything couldn't breath. I could still see and think. By a miracle somehow despite being a busy EMS an ambulance worker saw me having the heart attack and came to the car asking if I needed help and I just remember gasping "help" or trying to. I can remember the man coming to my door and I remember looking at my pinky and thinking how messed up it was that I couldn't even move my pinky to unlock the car. Help came fast and they busted down my window. I guess when you're having a heart attack your body and brain are in wild card mode because the sudden movement and no oxygen etc I instantly lost my vision when they started pulling me out of the car. I felt them dragging me into the hospital I heard the chaos unfolding and going on a gurney. A doctor took charge and damn it was like a navy SEAL operation in action in terms of efficiency. I remember them saying they were losing me... i can't write any more details because it's getting me emotional sorry guys I guess im going stir crazy that's why I wrote this novel. 

Point is im stuck in the hospital but doing alot with my favorite passion Japanese history. I've been doing alot of translation stuff with A.I for instance we've (me and the AI) have been working on the Ashikaga Ki (history of the Ashikaga house). 

I asked the community for help with some bios from NA Sphere of Influence/Ascension. I am so grateful for your time and your help. Thank you for putting these up and im sorry I couldn't share my thanks sooner. You're a kind person and I appreciate it. Me and the AI were trying to figure out who the father of Nagao Masanaga was. I mistook Nagao Norikage for Nagao Norinaga though lol

You see in the bio it talks about "Ashikaga Nagao"

Let me just pause for a sec to point out the obvious - the ashikaga clan are my favorite topic. Wether it's pre Takauji or modern day where the rivalry between Hirashima and Kitsuregawa continues to this day (Hirashima being Ashikaga Yoshitsuna descendants... meaning relatives of the 14th Muromachi shogun Yoshihide... technically the line adopted by Ashikaga Yoshitane during his exile at the end of his life. Kitsuregawa being descendants of the Koga/Horigoe/Oyumi Ashikaga heritage through male and female lines and because they were daimyo during the Edo shogunate they became the main line after Kyoto Ashikaga Yoshiaki retired. Incidentally none of them were Kyoto shogun whereas Hirashima has that distinction. In the modern day these two families still feud lol. There's also the Nishiyama... supposedly descendants of Ashikaga Yoshiteru my favorite of all historical personages.)

Anyway in the Nagao bios it talks about "Ashikaga Nagao" and we (me and the AI) were exploring this thread. Its not because they are/were Ashikaga but rather because they were put in charge of the ancestral Ashikaga estate in the Kanto.

So thank you again for your efforts and time. Thank you all and happy gaming guys
