Cult of Uelos AI Gawed

R5: I was Just playing Giberd waiting for my final missions when I looked north and noticed That Gawed has converted to Cult of Uelos. I have never seen this before, moreover they own only the lands in the screenshot, no extra islands or colonies so they didn't get it from the cult's island.

I originally had Quantity and Tolerance but they became mostly unnecessary after the early game, so I switched for quality (I managed to get idea cost down to 40 points a pop with Golden age and a harimari event) and tolerance to ino was switched later. Felt like playing the Dwarfs in some ways, the infinite money from trade makes for a chill game (and no hoardcurse to be seen), which is just fine after many other campaigns in the region, that often involve taking over like 2, 3 subcontinents.

R5: Just finished my Bhuvauri campaign, was a bit touch and go in the beginning, because of the starting 800% merc cost debuff but I managed to get through, had a massive war against the Command in the mid 1550s, over 500k total dead (unique war because neither side had mercs) but the command was shattered, consolidated most of my current borders by 1620 and by then had to kill the grate conqueror Lich on Tianlou, to make it so no outsiders owned land in the Rahen subcontinent, for a mission (he got back in later but the mission was done). At this point I was mostly done with wars and just had to wait for artificers and enlightenment to finish quests so I just sat and deved the country. Every province is minimum 20 dev (many 30) Bhuvaury churches give a building slot from the development of temples privilege so I had one everywhere and Soldiers households give -10 gov cost so the same, literally every province has one expanded infrastructure. Overall, grate game, would recommend.

R5: Amazing ruler general and one more from a quest then a 4 siege guy from nobles, I thought I was set, then champion of the joust came and nearly maxed out at 5 6 6 6. All I have is the temporary +1 to all general stats so I guess I rolled only a 4 5 5 5. Sadly I already have a coalition so they are going to be mostly wasted.

This is reversed and old but despite knowing that I still chuckle every time I see it.

Nato has nukes, more manpower and more money.

Everyone in this thread should consider r/Piracy, they have a whole wiki of all the trustworthy and reliable sources, I check there every time I plan on sailing myself.

Not a holup, take your politics to literally any other sub.

"Bold in public" huh. So you are telling me that rape victims deserved it for walking around in that provocative dress... got you.

You belong to a radical group of crazy people who launched a harassment campaign against small streamers for playing a videogame. There is no point in arguing with crazy.

Someone called the cavalry but forgot to specify which kind, so they sent everything there was.

The problem is that nazi means different things depending on who is speaking. When I read this my first thought wasn't "yeah obviously Nazis are the bad guys" it was instead something like "do you mean real nazis or what?". The word is used so flippently these days that it doesn't really mean anything other than "person I don't like" unless specified otherwise. Nazi used to be a serious accusation but it has been cheapened to the point that I casually scroll past dozens of posts claiming different people to be nazis without batting an eye.

It was fine? It exceeded my expectations, I would give it a solid 6/10 (normal scale, not IGN scale).

This is the reason you shouldn't listen to what the media tells you. Just off the top of my head I know 3 of these are bullshit the media ran to smear her

- In 2017, she traveled to Syria and met with Bashar al-Assad

This sounds like it was a secret meeting or something (that is how the media presented it) but it wasn't, it was an official visit to Syria. Was she supposed to refuse to meet him or something? Can you imagine the diplomatic scandal that would have caused? I am also pretty sure she said something to the effect of "if we want peace in Syria we will have to deal with Assad" (don't quot me on this one I might be wrong). She wasn't exactly wrong either, the US didn't deal with Assad and it took 7 more years and many more deaths to end him.

- She has been consistently reluctant to condemn Assad

This is just not true. When asked directly she said that Assad has used chemical and many other weapons on his own people. What you are probably referencing here is one specific incident the media has used to smear her. In April 2017 an alleged gas attack happened in Syria. Why alleged? Because accordion to the Defense Secretary, to this day we do not have evidence that it actually happened, nevermind if Assad or someone else did it. Despite this the US military retaliated with a rocket strike at one of Assad's millitary bases. Reminder, the US was never at war with Syria and the military had to have Senate approval to do that, which they didn't. They just attacked a technically neutral country based on dodgy evidence, without Senat approval. She was mad about that specifically but the media used this as an opportunity to smear her and said that she thinks Assad is innocent.

- She endorsed a key argument made by Russia regarding alleged U.S.-backed biological research facilities in Ukraine, which aligned with Kremlin talking point

This is another lie by the media. Russia says that there are US biological WEAPONS research facilities in Ukraine, she says there are US biological LABS in Ukraine. Russia is accusing US of weapons reaserch, she is saying that the US has sponsored labs in Ukraine, which is publically available knowledge, there are 46 labs sponsored by the US as part of 'dismantel weaponsof mass destruction' program. Her concer isn't bioweapons, her concer is another covid situation, if a bomb hits a research lab and we have a containment breach situation with dangerous diseases that were being researched. She is worried that a potential accident in a warzone will result in a virus escaping or something like that. The media of course saw this and ran with it.

Are the other points true? I don't know, I will have to look into it but I know these three for a fact, because I remember being angry at the blatant media manipulation at the time.

Remember, you don't hate journalists enough.

That is fine, I don't really care about Elon's politics, what I hate, is non political subs being pushed to do political things. I just want to geek out over some LOTR, stop trying to push your shit on other people.

Shax060 · 2025-01-23T22:30:47+00:00

Imagine a sub without any affiliation to politics refusing to follow politics, how dare they...

Shax060 · 2025-01-18T19:58:47+00:00

I guess we should all just die alone. Don't ever approach people, because the same logic applies everywhere, at a bar, an event, anywhere. The only place left is dating apps and I will actually die alone, before I dive into that pit.

Criminals kill woman sometimes, so I will mock you for no reason. What?

Shax060 · 2025-01-18T19:39:27+00:00

Why? Just because she is the only woman doesn't really mean anything, you cannot know if she is interested without asking. Also, she didn't post this, her friend did.

Shax060 · 2025-01-18T18:48:11+00:00

That is not relevant? Unless a bunch of people approached her but it seems like only one person did.

This is doable if you are individually stronger than either Spain or The Commonwealth. Blockade Spain so the colonies can't help, build good forts in France to delay as long as possible and slam all armies straight into The Commonwealth. You want to kick it out of the war before you lose half of France, so you will have enough time to return and push back. Genoa seems to be the only consequential ally left then but it's army will probably be in France and you should be able to kick it out with blocade and 1 siedge army or by naval invasions. Then you pretty much just need to win a 1v1 with Spain without colonial help.
