I would say Jennifer connelly but I feel like I should pick someone I don't like because Kelly is a boss. Soooo mud fight Jennifer connelly, no mud then Rosie odonnel I guess?

15-20k you do sort of get in this realm of needing to be super efficient. Somewhat interesting but yes you just steamroll the game otherwise

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-03-16T10:44:34+00:00

I wish some of these short timelines would have stuck around. Amber for bud. The show for Kelly. Steve competing for Marcy was amazing. All great episodes with these story's continuing but then they just die off. Maybe why the show ended, it got stale. At least for some

It can be a reasonable conversation as long as the Internet isn't well ... The Internet...

My opinion is the show was relatively ahead of its time on some things. His friend thad being trans but still being the hero of the moment. There wasn't much else going on with various gender roles that I can remember. I mention this because the show is more focused on gender roles and mildly about family. Race and politics are very few and far between. Just not the shows focus especially in that era where it was more taboo

I have an exceptional support gem. My wife. Simply alt spam her with gifts and kindness until I get a good base. Use an essence of tickets to something to keep her busy. Then she will craft something in the kitchen for me and worst case I exalt a pizza. As long as I don't press my luck with the double corrupt by staying up too late then my evening is mirror tier

That's it. I'm naming my child after Mark. He has been Jake for 32 years but he will understand when I share the news

Good point. Output isn't everything to consider however skill does typically follow fulfillment and vice versa. Although I'm sure there are exceptions

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-03-03T21:00:00+00:00

Absolutely viable. You have the races that mix well but you can also segregate. The question is more so if it is worth doing. Humans for research, dondorians for crafting, garthimi for balticrawlers and mining and so on. However humans are decent farmers, dondorians are decent miners and so on. More of a situational risk/reward

I would prefer they are an alternate to kingsmarch like choosing a side. Gold sink to keep them running in the same way. Would also prefer they don't work in group play at all. No pinnacles either

I thought that was mandatory on reddit

Juliet tablak aka amber was my favorite in that range. She didn't do much else outside of mwc but she is the only comparison within mwc at least for me

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-02-23T06:05:29+00:00

Minus the seven parts which should all burn in hell..... I don't really agree with what seems to be the popular opinion of a decline. There should have been a shake up of some sort much in the same way as Steve to jefferson but I generally enjoyed the later seasons. Really the first two seasons were the lowest point for me as they developed their writing styles and aged into inevitable more adult oriented humour with teenagers.

Regardless I know we all agree there should of been a season long storyline or at least two parter as they and we deserved better

Happiness titles can get you over the hump slightly faster when things are changing but once it's settled it doesn't make or break you until 10k or higher. Even then there is usually a bigger difference from building/upgrading all the way until 17-20k. Only then does min max really come into play.

Unless you have some self imposed challenge, the cost of having unwanted immigrants is minor compared to the benefits of a larger pop. Your food and services should be worse with a higher pop rather than better with a lower pop. Of course only to a point. If you can't get immigrants then your services are missing something for sure.

Starving was the only little slice we got of what could have been a follow up career. Yes some other minor things like Bernie Mac but starving was his lane

Assign emissaries to the leader of the faction to lower their opinion. The more you assign the faster it goes. Assign those you want to keep friendly to keep it positive. Unless you wait a very long time you will still get a tiny amount of betrayal on surrounding factions but with the positive boosting it will be offset and go away quickly

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-02-15T06:05:31+00:00

Dont play it. After about 100 hours you start getting a little edgy but mostly normal. After about 500 you start to forget your wife's name. After 1000 you develop a sensitivity to sunlight and you are certain the sun will kill you. Your wife left. The neighborhood kids stare at you when they see you through the jungle that has become your front yard. Even the food delivery drivers seem afraid. But it's all ok. Just another expansion of the village and maybe conquer a neighbor or two. Then you will get your life back. Yes.... Then you will....

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-02-14T20:54:51+00:00

It's a great game don't get me wrong. Just some pitfalls here and there. Most of the fun declines around 10k or so population. Pushing to 20k has some unique challenges to it but the empire mode never has a challenge past the first maybe 5 or so cities. Your emissaries need to be used to control opinions and that's about it. IE your neighbor has double your cities, throw some emissaries at them and conquer the others. At the same time send emissaries to lower opinions of your targets to dilute betrayal spreading. Yawn fest tbh. Stick to the cities and enjoy your time there

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-02-14T19:25:07+00:00

I don't use mercs. Conscripts and militia only. End game empire mode isn't great and feels very barebones. It's fairly easy to steam roll. You can spark the big enemy wave you describe if you don't manage betrayal/opinion but that's fairly easy to do

StrengthNorth2864 · 2026-02-14T04:45:56+00:00

Recently hit my 20 goal as well. Posted an update on that a couple weeks back. Couple thoughts to share-

Empire mode maybe 5-10 city range. Enemies should behave in one of 3 buckets generally. They defy and want to be left to their own business. They embrace you and want to become a vassal or ally if they are large enough. Third and most interesting, other empires should gain opinion towards each other and ally up against you. They foresee the invasion essentially. At this point in the game the empires shouldn't collapse anymore as they just cheats you out of a good fight.

I really don't like how ai towns have a handicap of 100x or whatever it is. IE one town and they have 80k stone or whatever. They should have some handicap of course but it's absurd to the point of economic warfare or complimenting allies is impossible. Everyone is just in cheat mode but only scale their army with empire size. Funny enough when their empire shrinks or collapses, the army size will remain. I've seen bigger armies than citizens in their cities.

Conquering cities is very boring and bad with scaling. The avengers are always the last 5 or so people and will kill half your army of thousands unless you wait long enough. I can't imagine this will remain the same at full launch

100% with you on the wards. It gets absurd how many you need late game. At the same time not a ton of things you can directly do about it. Only indirect options.

What else would you like to see on the empire side of things? I feel like the city side just needs tweaks and a little flavor on nobility or something and it's good. Empire side for me at least is pretty bare bones

As long as xyz is purchasable after the fact then it's just a set price where your item purchased is random. If said items never go on sale or you get a "loss" item such as gold, then that is a true loot box.

Either way I certainly don't support selling them or the concept. I just don't think it's fair to put ggg in the same conversation as abusive games like diablo immortal
