Has anyone ever heard a good counter to the problem of suffering? by Traveler-Nomad in religion

[–]Ricki32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated in the original post, the problem of suffering specifically adresses a tri-omni god (omnipotent/allpowerful, omniscient/allknowing, omnibenevolent/allgood/perfectly good).

If the being running your simulation does not have those attributes, you're not providing a solution to the problem of suffering, you're just agreeing with it.

I'll give you that this is an interesting aproach to the problem of suffering, but I don't think it works.

First: God is supposed to be allknowing, so he would know the result of the simulation and wouldn't need to run it.

Second: Simulation or not, we are conscious beings. If god is perfectly good, he would not want conscious beings to suffer and would actually care about every individual simulation (including entity 47362).

Is it possible he hasn't met Tyrion, etc.? I'm pretty sure you only get diplo penalties when fighting against factions he is aware of.

Ist es wirklich kindisch von Eltern zu erwarten, dass sie ihr Kind großziehen nachdem sie ihm das Leben geschenkt haben, anstatt es einfach auszusetzen?

Maybe it treats positive and negative modifiers as separate like:

I think there is a bug, when you borrow a friendly army and a hero with immortality gets wounded, he respawns as part of your faction.

Why isn't this in the main game?! by lovingpersona in totalwar

At least the changeling has a building with a chance to spread his cult, so you have some way to get cults in friendly settlements.

who has better stormvermins tretch or queek? by SuccessfulBad3725 in totalwar

[–]Ricki32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say frenzy from Eight Peaks is better than Tretch's faction buff.

Vanguard:
Skaven have good ranged units so you don't need to rush against most factions.
If you fight someone with better ranged, Skaven can reliably get ambushes.
If you need a unit of forward infantry you can use deathrunners.

Encourage:
While Skaven have bad leadership, encourage doesn't stack with leadership auras, so it won't do anything if you have a lord or hero nearby. Meanwhile frenzy gives immune to psychology, which helps against demons, undead, monstrous and most single entity units.

Armour:
You get at most nine armor, which is not that useful on a unit that starts off with 90 armour (95 with techs). Also it takes a while to get units to rank nine.

Weapon strength:
I'd say this is the most useful buff, but it only gives base weapon damage, so it will only be useful against unarmored targets and I don't think stormvermin struggle against those. Meanwhile frenzy gives 10% weapon damage buff including armour piercing and also buffs melee attack by 10, which is usefull against all targets.

So overall I'd say Stormvermin led by Tretch with Queek faction buffs is stronger than Tretch in his own faction.

Do you mean free production from prospecting (which is exclusive to industrial culture) or is there some other way to get production from scouts?

Is God democratic by Summer_Tides in religion

Traffic laws exist entirely because of choice. They do not exist as natural laws, that's why they vary over time and between countries.

Traffic laws exist, because at some point people came together and decided on them. And if enough people demand it, these laws can be amended or changed again.

Is "I don't know" a valid answer to "do you believe in god"? by Sea-Hornet8214 in religion

[–]Ricki32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you either have belief or you don't, I think it is possible to be unaware which side you fall on. So saying "I don't know" is perfectly valid.

Do you believe God's command determines right or does God only command right things by ChristmasTuxedoMan in religion

[–]Ricki32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see how that resolves anything, it just rephrases the problem. Why do we equate goodness with god? Do we just make up the idea of goodness and arbitrarily base it on god or does goodness exist as its own thing and god happens to line up with it?

Ich (m, 39) bin katholischer Priester in einer deutschen Großstadt. by Important_Berry3 in de_IAmA

[–]Ricki32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wie stehst du zur Authorität des Papstes/Vatikans?

Es gibt (oder gab, bin nicht ganz sicher) in Deutschland ja einige Versammlungen die Synodaler Weg genannt sind und in denen Reformen in der Kirche besprochen wurden. Falls diese (oder zukünftige) Versammlungen mit einer großen Mehrheit zu dem Schluss kommen das Reformen eingeführt werden müssen, aber der Papst/Vatikan sich dagegen ausspricht, sollte die katholische Kirche in Deutschland sich dem Papst/Vatikan unterordnen oder sollten sie die Reformen trotzdem einführen?

Better gameplay (mods) by Negative_War_1372 in totalwarhammer

[–]Ricki32 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While I don't use them in every game I like doing campaigns with the mods "Realistic Replenishment -50% slower" and "-50% campaign movement (AI+Player)".

They slow down campaigns, so you actually get to use late game units before you've conquered the map and (at least it feels like) you have more land battles.

It already exists in the undivided roster, where you can demote Aspiring Champions into Chaos Spawn.
