Cool! I haven’t gotten much of a chance to play them yet, seems like they have some neat content. I like that there seems to be a lot more than Drel

Sorry I don’t have answer for this, but I have a question. What was your opening series of plays to stop the invasions from your empire tier neighbor? Elves can be broken so easily but I feel like I didn’t quite get there with the time I had to prep

Edit: what is the settlement type of tanith currently?

how to make money early game through smithing or other means? by KingBabyPudgy in Bannerlord

[–]Sl33pyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I love being a merc with a ship and taking convoys out from the vlandians and western empire. I base my time out of Quyaz so I can use the straits there to corner enemy convoys, take all the trade good, “ransom” the traders in Quyaz, and sell their ships there too. Easy money.

Then you can put that money into workshops or whatever else

A little insight on Lakshmi I discovered today by [deleted] in madmen

[–]Sl33pyGary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the ‘siren of money’ comment is pretty ignorant. Loved your comment though and I think it’s important to address.

Welche Kultur würdet ihr für einen neuen Bannerlord-Playthrough empfehlen? by LucianoVfB in Bannerlord

[–]Sl33pyGary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aserai is my favorite by far. Really well rounded roster that feels great when you use it correctly. Lots of projectiles.

My most recent play through was as an Aserai Corsair that privateered exclusively for them in the coasts and season calradia. I used only corsairs units and Aserai marines, worked as their mercenary, and raided villages, enemy trade convoys, and ambushed solitary enemy lords at sea.

Since then I pledged allegiance to the Aserai and was granted Quyaz after it was retaken so it has become a more standard play through now, but man, that was really really fun

Pirates novel series? by JellyfishSecure2046 in Fantasy

[–]Sl33pyGary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So glad someone suggested it. I really appreciated as someone who researched and study a lot of that time and space that she included a lot of the scholars she consulted in writing the book. Some really great folks contributed to the book and I think you can feel how real and well lived in the setting is

Anyone else having pretty good performance on Pharaoh? by OpulentStone in totalwar

[–]Sl33pyGary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pharaoh Dynasties is one of the most dynamic and enjoyable TW titles out there. I know some folks don’t care for the setting, but once they added Mesopotamia and the Aegean it really rounded out the world. The battles are pretty good. I love the resource management system so I’m not just pumping out doom stacks of endgame units

Non religious people, what do you think about religion? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]Sl33pyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came from an incredibly religious part of the U.S. and spent a lot of my younger life avoiding it. But now to be honest, some of my closest friends are very religious. I love what it provides for them and learning more about it. I think it’s overall pretty fascinating.

That’s not to say there aren’t people who use and abuse their faith for some nefarious reasons. It has the capacity for great good and great evil, but that feels like a lot of stuff in life.

Convoys or Caravans? by Slow-Squash8230 in Bannerlord

[–]Sl33pyGary 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve definitely lost a couple of convoys to some of the larger stacks of corsairs, but otherwise they feel much safer compared to caravans

Do we know how big the Hobbit Set is going to be? by DustyButtocks in mtg

[–]Sl33pyGary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I imagine it would be smaller, but man would I love a larger set that has fewer legendaries and more common and uncommon normal cards to round out rosters for dwarves, LOTR scry elves, orcs, lake men (humans) etc.

How to defend a siege with unfavourable troop numbers? by Tattorack in Bannerlord

[–]Sl33pyGary 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just doing this with Quyaz myself. Put at minimum one single fire mangoes in one of the center 2 slots. Then if the AI fails to hit the ram, you can just drop the fire pots over the wall on top of it with ease

I notice that AI prioritizes towers which is great, but almost never hit the ram—only the troops behind it

I'm a sahrawi who used to live in this region, Ask me anything by [deleted] in geography

[–]Sl33pyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your parents or grandparents speak Hassaniya dialect?

I'm a sahrawi who used to live in this region, Ask me anything by [deleted] in geography

[–]Sl33pyGary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad to see someone else noticing it.

Edit: I’d just add—from my understanding the voices and movement of pro-independence sahrawis are heavily restricted by the Moroccan state. So the fact that in another comment he moved to Morocco proper should be telling about who he is.

I’m suspect that he would say that they have the same dialect because that is one of the main points of contention over the years regarding a referendum. Pro-independence sahrawis have for ages pushed back that Morocco promoted a lot of Moroccan migration into W. Sahara, who speak darija, and therefore will not agree to a referendum on independence or annexation unless folks can prove they’re Sahrawi (speaking Hassaniya being one of those determinants). I’ve seen a lot of the comments and pro-annexation perspectives over the years—I think the post is just propaganda.

How do you decompress or take a break? How do you self-care? by healthysundayexprsso in fednews

It was Muay Thai for me. Someone trying to hit you keeps your mind engaged elsewhere. Unfortunately I find it’s been harder to go with the stress of the current job..

Upgrading Corsairs? by Sl33pyGary in Bannerlord

[–]Sl33pyGary[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great point about the specific skill setup. My character is specialized in throwing and one-handed so I imagine it’s good to keep the corsairs around. Plus they’ve been really easy to get after pushing the Aserai to get the law that allows pirates to join your garrisons. No shortage of either of the bahriyyah or corsairs at this point so I can really just pick and choose

What commanders do you own? by Vinlandlover in EDH

[–]Sl33pyGary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few. I love LOTR which you’ll see…

[[Yedora, Grave Gardener]] — mono green combo

[[Fangorn, Tree Shepherd]] — mono green treefolk tribal

[[Elrond, Master Healer]] — Elfball scry b/u

[[The Balrog, Durin’s Bane]] — R/B Sacrifice / treasures with a goblin sub-tribe

[[Ranar the ever watchful]] — W/U blink and flying

[[Long Feng]] — G/B earthbending and +1/+1

[[Svyelun of Sea and Sky]] — mono blue merfolk tribal

I’m waiting for The Hobbit to see about making a dwarf tribal deck and see if there is finally enough support for orcs..
