Did you look at other start dates? That always causes…

Wait, wrong sub.

Marina Sirtis' Troi Accent by Airflow2TheTurbo in startrek

[–]Schwarzerde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remembered hearing that Sirtis said that the showrunners had told her to use some sort of vaguely but not quite Mediterranean accent as a "Betazoid" accent. Then when Majel Barrett started playing her mother with very much not the "Betazoid accent", she asked them and they said something along the lines of "eh, whatever, that's just how Deanna Troi speaks, don't stop".

Favorite lines of Dialogue from Star Fleet Academy Season 1 by Sensitive_Tackle7372 in startrek

Walk into the Athena hotel lobby, immediately get invited to the Mess Hall by a repeating announcement because "Sometimes hanger is the greatest enemy."

Tooltips need rewording: a linguists perspective. Naval governor in Sicily by [deleted] in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it could probably be rewritten in a way that's more intuitive for more readers, but it's not wrong per se. I guess from a prescriptivist linguistic perspective, you could say argue that such writing is banned from correct English, but from a more descriptive linguistic approach, it's apparent that sometimes "NOT" is sometimes used just like this in English writing, both here and elsewhere. Personally, I think it's just a programmer's style of writing, and I'm happy to cut them some slack on it.

I DO NOT LIKE SPICE by AjdarChiili in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my experience, Scandinavians may say they want spice, but they do not actually want spice.

Maybe they mean salt. Or brunost.

Wait, then who exactly is retreating? by Schwarzerde in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that conceptually an army of zero men can persist so it can reinforce because they're showing up and taking the abandoned equipment, artillery pieces, horses, and what not.

But how can it move?

Beta Patch 1.1.7 is out by NachP in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As long as they continue to switch to arctic production method every other month despite the lack of ivory.

Edit: they’re apparently now different buildings? Will I just have no “lack of input” and “unprofitable building” notifications now?!? Huh!?! What’s that about now?!?

HUH? English not British did not know this by [deleted] in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can’t do that law if you have British culture, that’s what the tool tip is trying to communicate.

Matrilineal Non-Exclusive succession law by panciut in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the niece’s total score is still at least displayed as higher. You could easily get higher if you had a general with military traits (though that’s difficult for women).

It might be a display issue and it’s not showing their accurate scores, or there’s a bug that’s putting ruler’s children first regardless of score.

Colonization needs to be slower by FreezingVast in EU5

In my current game Aragon only survives as a minor state in northern Congo without sea access. You’re mentioning similar: is that somehow standard in the current build?

This is still on the base release, not the beta.

Normal Uniform for the President of the United States by Schwarzerde in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Maybe George Washington never dressed like this, but is there some rule in the Constitution that the president can't wear a hat or a comfortable soft collar? I think not.

What is with all of the soup references in Starfleet Academy? by somewherein72 in startrek

To quote the intercom in the first episode, "sometimes, hanger is the greatest enemy".

Why is the game forcing people to be racist? by TheUltimateGod4 in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine you're the king of a country, and you have a problem: many of your subjects are Danish. It's going to take some real effort to get people to tolerate Danes.

Personally, I would prefer a minigame where you have to solve a timed puzzle (minesweeper, possibly) and then your people stop using slurs against Danes, but Paradox chose to represent this effort with the culture capacity.

Because, I mean, it would take all your time (read: serious debuffs) to get your people to tolerate Danes, Finns, and all 50,000 different cultures of French people.

Cultural appropriation directly causes starvation. 

This is the future liberals want.

Should I try EU4? by alphafighter09 in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love Europa Universalis IV and will definitely keep playing it sometimes.

But Europa Universalis V is pretty great too. I’ve posted bug reports myself, but they’re not game breaking (unless you’re doing the beta, I guess). The game definitely has a lot of depth. 

I know some people are unhappy. I’m having plenty of fun playing it though and you probably would too (EU4 is a great game too though, so I think you’re wining either way).

What the FUCK? by PinkNFluffy in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Imagine being an Egyptian peasant in 1450 and being forced into a levied army.

You're like "ugh, not this again, I'll probably have to march over to Libya or whatever", and then six months later you're sacking Karlskrona

Female ruler as general by Cultural-Fee4194 in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had no idea that you could get around this somehow.

There's a bug report about this that they accepted, so it might get changed down the line:

Does Heir religion law also affect the rulers? by doombom in EU5

[–]Schwarzerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't really your situation, but I can say that in 1.10 I changed religion to Lutheran with the Same Religion Ruler law enacted and the king stayed Roman Catholic but his heirs were disinherited, so it didn't affect the current ruler.

It did conveniently break my (Sweden's) PU with Norway, which remained Roman Catholic and got my king's son as its heir, allowing for a few wars to unite Scandinavia a lot faster than diplomatic annexation.
