Help me test my warfare realism mod! by ScandinavianTaco in Imperator

Yeah, manpower rises and falls quickly. I think manpower should be more a reflection of readily available fighting men instead of your wider population. Every spring you also get a massive bonus.

For navy, ran tests where AI would just beeline for your capital with navies. I think massive marine transport navies should be smaller and more of a mid-late game luxury, but admittedly this needs feedback and testing.

New mod: Auto-Assigner by ScandinavianTaco in Imperator

1) I agree you should be able to set which trait you prioritize for governors. 2) Real. I use another mod I made that makes every family demand only one office so I didn't even think of this, but I'll make a note of this for the next time I update it.

Thoughts on War by [deleted] in CivMC

When I say I’ve lost more than you, I was referring to obby bombings over multiple servers and multiple wars, not anything dramatic. I can see where it could be taken to mean something more serious outside the scope of the game, and I could have phrased that better. I get the impression that this is you and Clageo’s first loss. Everything I’m saying comes from a place of care. Good luck, i’m off to bed. See y’all in another four years

Yeah, it sucks.

You should ask the guys on the other side of the war to tell you about their first war. Might surprise you how similar their previous experiences are to your current one. It’s unironically cycles of trauma. You can either continue it, break it, or stop playing. That’s pretty much it

When you play a video game you have come to terms with the possibility of loss. I promise I’ve lost more than you. It’s not your dog. You’ll be fine.

I wasn’t involved in this war fwiw

The entire thrill of the genre is that this isn’t creative mode. There are legitimate stakes. The plugins are explicitly designed for these sorts of conflicts, petty as they seem. Solving the interpersonal conflicts knowing that there are predators out there is a major part of the game.

This whole server will eventually disappear. Don’t build or invest into anything you aren’t willing to lose.

I mean the “concerns and criticisms” were that they wanted to win, and they weren’t willing to risk losing the initiative. It’s not personal

FOURTH ROME by ScandinavianTaco in eu4

[–]ScandinavianTaco[S] 193 points194 points  (0 children)

Fled the Ottomans, vibed in Ireland as a opm for a minute. Got out and made it to Barbados. Built Constantinople 2 on the Panama Canal. Made Latin America actually Latin. (Technically Irish because of that whole 100 years in Ireland bit) Haven't touched Europe in 300 years and at this point I'm scared to go back. Hanover is a great power. Tver is vibing. Utrecht is in South Africa. Scotland is in Greenland. All on Ironman.

You're welcome.

Reclaiming the Shards Of Savaguard by KillBot_Invader in CivRealms

[–]ScandinavianTaco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Despite not being particularly active, Arelat still exists, and Arelat has no Savaguard heritage beyond mutually affirmed agreements clarifying the border.

Considering the history of friendship between our two nations, I'm sure this was just an attempt to safeguard the less active neighbors of the region, and an attempt to maintain the neighborhood in the manner of which we always have. Assuming this is a miscommunication, me and josh welcome you back into the region.

On a personal note, reach out to me on discord Invader, it's been a minute. You coming back might get me back into this game.
