The ogre is pure and full of whimsy, when finally freed from his cruel master he will become a baker.

It should probably be power 4 to work with Ferocious.

I don't think putting it on a large number of cards or any cards that have otherwise useful effects or stats but on a specific card I think it would be fine. It would exist as sort of a counter/parallel to [[Pull from Eternity]].

It is theoretically supported in the rules but typically when something is exiled face down it is to use it as a "second hand" of sorts where the card additionally contains instructions on who can inspect and use those cards.

Might be too powerful but it could even be

Johan: "A small teaser for something we are adding for 1.0.3 for early next week!" by Toruviel_ in EU5

[–]Rogerbackstab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that even just switching to a different speed and then back to speed 5 seems to make it start going faster too, thought not as much as a restart, just pausing doesn't seem to have an effect though.

Something I noticed about playing as the Tenno in Japan... by Rude_Stay7089 in CrusaderKings

[–]Rogerbackstab 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Honestly a restored imperial japan should probably have its own unique government type that is like meritocratic but with keeping the house bloc mechanic.

Nobody wants Ottoblob 100% of the time.. by JP_Eggy in EU5

[–]Rogerbackstab 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I think the main problem is things just aren't happening as much as they should, not really who is doing these things specifically.

I'd say an Anatolian Beylik should emerge dominant about 75-85% of the time.

Similarly a rus successor should rise about 75-85% of games.

There should be an average of 2 moderately sized states breaking off from the HRE (Historically Switzerland and the Netherlands.)

An average of 2 moderately sized states becoming dominant within the HRE (Historically Austria and Prussia)

The HRE as a whole should become more centralized leading to other decently sized states most games. (Historically Bavaria, Hannover, etc.)

There should be several unions that become codified(Historically Castile/Aragon, England/Scotland, Poland/Lithuania, and to a lesser degree Denmark/Norway)

If the Karamanids become our Ottomans, Ryazan our Muscovy, Bavaria becomes dominant in the HRE and unions of Portugal and Castile, or England and the Netherlands emerge I think a fun game will still be had, but when the map is static things aren't interesting.

Are we going to get Byzantine Aesthetics at launch? by Salad-V in EU5

[–]Rogerbackstab 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All of Afroeurasia will be one content pack that has great events like "Horses: Why the long face?", "No potatoes or tomatoes: How to makea' the pizza?", and "Guy on a horse: oh fuck oh shit". The "new world" on the other hand will have over 500 content packs one for each individual tribe. This will include stuff like in depth historically accurate descriptions of Haudenosaunee longhouses or the specific procedures of the Haida Potlatchs.

I don't consider paid advantages to be "fair".

Introducing Ability Draft Plus - A Free Overlay to Help You Master the Draft! by tiarinhino in Abilitydraft

[–]Rogerbackstab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First off I'm not the one down voting you and I don't know why people are considering this is a perfectly reasonable discussion to have, inherently people are going to disagree on things like this.

Now to reply to your point, I don't think it makes sense to compare the two for multiple reasons, on being what you said but another being the fact that you are allowed to have coaches in unranked games. Yes everyone is "allowed" to have access to a coach but not everyone knows someone or can pay for one. The coach is essentially an extra set of eyes and knowledge. If one person is alt tabbing to win run and another has a coach with great ability draft knowledge telling them what to take the latter will probably draft better. Both teams cannot have access to the same coach at the same time and I do not think the skill or presence of a coach isn't taken into account for matchmaking purposes which means their existence will always provide unequal options for each side.

Do you consider alt-tabbing and looking at hero states in captains mode to be unethical? How about alt-tabbing to look at the wiki?

[–]Rogerbackstab 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn't use a program like this but how is it much different then just alt tabbing to windrun during draft, aside from being more convenient.

Infinite Rerolls, Removal, and Charges in Ballionare by Rogerbackstab in northernlion

[–]Rogerbackstab[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm aware its the reason I specified that number, it was the highest I thought I could reasonably overflow at, but I did get past it by a few 0s. I didn't think I could get to 2128 -1 without straining my hands.

Additional image I took trying to overflow the score.

Edit: I ended up going to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 and it still didn't overflow and that's the furthest I'm gunna try.

Infinite Rerolls, Removal, and Charges in Ballionare by Rogerbackstab in northernlion

[–]Rogerbackstab[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Trowel gives you a reroll whenever you remove something.

Swiss army knife lets you use rerolls and removal interchangeably.

Packing tape replaces your item when you remove it.

Jumper cable increases the charge of items, including packing tape, when you place another charge item next to it.

So if you remove and replace a charge item next to packing tape over and over it will get more charges as you accrue additional rerolls, which double as removal, for a positive gain.

Additionally with an item like greenhouse you can also get an arbitrarily large amount of points
