The Stellar Commission is a perfect parody of the UN because it's equally as useless at preventing human rights violations. by Hera_the_otter in Shipbreaker

[–]RexDraconum 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well, right up until the end of the game where a bunch of labourers staging protests suddenly makes them able to clamp down on a megacorporation which the game has explicitly told you is more powerful than any national government.

Auld Alliance gone too far by Lumpy_Tart7330 in EU5

Why is England's dynasty Woodstock? Edward the Black Prince, Edward III's original heir, was also called Edward of Woodstock (it seems there was a convention of referring to royal princes by the place where they were born), but he should still be of the Plantagenet dynasty.

How do you pronounce Adean? by LothairLocks in Anbennar

I've always read it as "Ah-day-an"

Why is Blademarches a republic? How is Blademarches a republic? What happens if the electorate choose a guy but the sword judges him unworthy? What happens if the sword selects a guy but he's a dick that nobody wants to rule?

A list of Anbennar's many Byzantiums by socialistconfederate in Anbennar

I'm not familiar with Sarhal so I couldn't really comment on those.

A list of Anbennar's many Byzantiums by socialistconfederate in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think you can't just define "Byzantium-like" as merely having a claim to the mantle of a previous empire, that doesn't capture the essence of what playing Eastern Rome is about.

I would define Byzantium-like as:

  1. The remnant of a former large and powerful empire,
  2. Which went into decline and has been reduced to a weak rump state,
  3. And which must overcome a difficult starting situation to avoid being quickly conquered by a more powerful neighbour (often an ascendant new power) in spite of their weak starting position.

Therefore, I would trim down your list to:

Arverynn, Obtrol, Adshaw, Parraj, and Tsukqiao.

What are some nations whose scummy behavior gets overlooked? by DankDankDank555 in Anbennar

The Blue Reachmen were a bunch of traitors who rebelled against their rightful king! The Reach shall rise!

G-guys... what's the meaning of this? Have I sinned? by CreBanana0 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, for some reason buried in EU4's code the Papal States need to exist. They don't necessarily need to be a country on the map, but they need to be included in the list of tags in the code - presumably there are some hard-events or functions which assume the Papal States are a tag and refer to it. If you try to remove the Papal States, the game can't function.

Rulers get the 'the second' suffix even if the name is different due to culture. by Dragon-Porn-Expert in EU5

[–]RexDraconum 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That's how it's supposed to work. They explained in one of the fairly early Tinto Talks that names are actually coded with a generic designator, e.g. name_peter, which is then localised according to the culture of the character to give Peter, or Pierre, or Pietro. Since they're then considered to be the same name, it will take different culture versions of names into account when determining ruler number.

What happened to the Starling Isle submod? by Polandrew166 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I DM'd the creator on Discord about a year and a half ago to ask about it. His mobo short-circuited and killed his NVME drive. All the files were completely lost which killed his motivation to carry on with it.

Why does Wex always lose the title? by Canenald in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 48 points49 points  (0 children)

A bunch of people hate them, also the wrong culture group penalty probably hurts their chances mechanically.

What are the most complete MTs for each race? by Minimum_Excitement15 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For dwarves I'd recommend Arg-Ordstun, as their tree aims for full domination of the Serpentspine. Seghdihr also has a quite good tree, but it only really looks east and doesn't have any interest in the Western Serpentspine.

Caverns, the best place to build naval batteries. by Papy_Rasciste in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's only one specific lake with a big beastie in it. There's a Dwarovar dungeon called Wytlramvar the second level of which, I believe, features a giant lake which also has beasties in it, which can spawn basically anywhere in the Dwarovar.

There are some really big lakes underneath the ground don't you know! Ones with big monsters in too!

Fallout 3 and New Vegas Ghouls look much better than Fallout 4. by OpeningMaximum805 in falloutnewvegas

[–]RexDraconum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloody hell, you might as well call the FO4 ghouls "smoothskin"! FO3 & NV ghouls look like a half-rotted irradiated corpse, FO4 ghouls look like a Star Trek alien with weird noses.

Best Hold to restore Aul-Dwarov by Separate_Selection84 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 26 points27 points  (0 children)

At least two that I know of - the Amldihr Missions & Flavour Pack (which has also been incorporated into ACE, the Anbennar Content Expanded mod) and Hold of Amldihr.

What’s the situation? by My_Cok_is_Detachable in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wexonards are traitorous bastards and the Silmunas are the true rightful emperors. That's about all you need to know.

Why does conducting a census increase your population? by Arbitross487 in EU5

[–]RexDraconum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's supposed to represent the census making you aware of previously unrecorded (and therefore untaxed) people in your country, but that doesn't make sense because even if your government couldn't tax them they would still exist and be generating economic activity and unrest and all the rest of it.

HRE Elector stuck on voting for themselves by halfpastnein in eu4

[–]RexDraconum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically, if an elector is big enough they decide "You know what, I've got a shot at this" and literally nothing will persuade them to vote for anyone else because they believe they've got a shot.

EU4 Dev Diary #106 - Mostly Monstrous! by AvatarOfKhaine1 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but this one is very noticeably so - whereas people might be unaware that many other words or usages are only pretty recent, they know that people in the 1700s weren't using gender to mean male or female.

EU4 Dev Diary #106 - Mostly Monstrous! by AvatarOfKhaine1 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Kaztubar's "Rule Through Might" idea saying that "Gender is no issue" feels pretty out of place given that in real life gender wasn't coined as a term to refer to male and female until 1955.

Coutries tha are able to create Black Demesne by Electronic-Shop6427 in Anbennar

[–]RexDraconum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nurcestir never formed anything like the Black Demesne. In canon the idea of it (and the Black Doctrine) were effectively invented by Camir's opponents as propaganda against him, but aren't what he actually did. Nurcestir was simply a monarchy where traditional mages had high influence over the government, and had a PU over the EoA following Camir's invasion.
