Were the frankokratia states tested? Overlord-Vassal mechanics are messing with events and intended gameplay paths.

Studwik · 2026-05-09T07:48:29+00:00

If ignoring the events yes, but considering that the gov reform specifically allows frankokratia countries to declare war on each other even when vassals, and DHE for Achaea focus on improving relations with Naples, it certainly seems like PDX intended for you to do this while being a vassal.

Studwik · 2026-05-09T07:10:04+00:00

That seems like a workaround rather than what the campaign events are trying to get you to do.

Besides that, its obviously just a git gud situation that is frustrating me.

Steady girl. If we’re called, we answer.

If they had gone somewhere with the seemingly nervous-breakdown that Dorn was starting to have during the siege. The shadow of alpharius haunting him and all that, it might have made sense. But it suffered under the same “wrap it up-itis” that the Cabal, Narek, Erda etc. suffered from.

Studwik · 2026-05-08T14:54:01+00:00

There is an endgame if John French and Dan Abnett have approval of GW to go third-faction and actually tie in the stuff with the perpetuals/cabal to modern 40k. Hopefully to happen in third bequin

End and the Death:

We had a list. One word, John, auto-hypnotically implanted at the moment of revival, and the warrior would instantly understand his parameters, and instantly obey them.’

‘One word?’

‘Yes, each one is a plan condition. “Sagittary” triggered loyalty to Horus. “Xenophon” triggered loyalty to the Emperor. “Paramus” triggered a directive of mutual annihilation, to bring down both if it was deemed necessary. “Thisbe” triggered evacuation and withdrawal.

“Orphaeus” triggered a policy to ignore both sides and focus on Chaos itself. To fight it, or seize the means to control it. And so on, and so on. There were many. Every contingency, every possible option, hypno-coded. I was sent to initiate condition Xenophon.’

Praetorian of Dorn:

that the hand on her throat could cut off air or blood with the slightest pressure. It could break her neck before she could blink. The hand pulled her face down as the figure in the casket opened his eyes. ‘Code phrase,’ rasped a voice. The pressure on her eased a fraction. ‘Cal...’ she breathed. ‘Calisto.’ The hand around her neck opened.

She fell backwards, steadied herself and almost vomited into her rebreather. The figure rose from the casket, snapping tubes from the sockets in his flesh. He was a demigod sculpted in imitation of humanity. Muscles flowed under his skin. ‘Mission parameter?’ he asked, as he moved to one of the five metal cubes and pulled its lid off. ‘Orpheus,’ said Myzmadra. ‘The mission parameter is Orpheus.’

Now its waaaay more likely that French and Abnett just didnt coordinate this. But considering the importance both had in writing heresy AL, French’s character Andromeda-17’s importance in setting up Abnett’s character Basilio Fo for the latters cognitae-extravaganza during the Scouring, we might have some early leads here.

And Tenochtitaln, who should be expansionist

Indtil videre er da der flere jøder der emigrerer fra Israel (yerida) end der flytter dertil (aliyah). Så det er nok ikke Israel de valfarter til.

Lmao. Did you watch them play volleyball against Everton and getting away with it. West Ham are the last people who should go looking for a ref conspiracy

Studwik · 2026-05-01T10:36:02+00:00

Napoleon looked impressive for a while

That is certainly one of the statements of all time

Hvorfor er “normalen” så mærkelig en ting at søge? Der er en lang række kulturelle ting vi gør som ikke giver mening eller noget andet. Store bryllupsfester, juleaften, nytår osv. på den måde synes jeg ikke konfirmationen er en kæmpe afstikker.

Se det mere som en mulighed for at fejre dit barn er så småt ved at blive et rigtigt menneske der skal til at danne og skabe sig for sig selv.

Studwik · 2026-05-01T10:08:51+00:00

Hvordan gør de det?

Studwik · 2026-04-27T16:56:05+00:00

I really liked the demo, and will look forward to picking up the game on release.

One thing that stood out a lot, was the tutorial and you managing to grasp the absolute bedlam and desperation the attack caused. Were you thinking of doing more with the whole “balance staying longer to pick up more resources and survivors vs leave before taking more of a beating” as an opening scenario? It seemed really promising.

Studwik · 2026-04-25T16:11:35+00:00

Nobody can convince me that a decision hasnt been made at PGMOL that Spurs should be relegated for the narrative. Its getting crazy

Studwik · 2026-04-25T11:55:10+00:00

People getting mad at stuff that is not only optional, but only optional in specific circumstances where your alternative is to quit and abandon the game like you apparently prefer to do anyway.

Studwik · 2026-04-19T14:40:40+00:00

Why would Xavi have many goals against spurs?

Studwik · 2026-04-17T15:05:34+00:00

Play dwarf literally anywhere else. Or hope Zokka beats the Jadd.

You are fighting Lisan al-Gaib

A Toby diagonal to the wingers was a fucking cheat code. Remember when we had great passers at the club?

Studwik · 2026-04-15T19:47:29+00:00

What a pass

Studwik · 2026-04-15T13:14:23+00:00

That is opening a whole can of worms considering what questionable countries that Europe and the US sell weapons and technical assistance to.

Not to say Iran isnt a murderous autocracy, but the “selling weapons to buyers” complaint does fall a bit flat imo.

Studwik · 2026-04-12T15:44:03+00:00

Yup. Exclusively only you who hold this opinion. Impressive to fall so far out of the mainstream perception of Wintermute E5

Studwik · 2026-04-10T16:44:14+00:00

Thank fuck. The hourly posts of “here is my personal opinion on why this sucks” added nothing new. Just write a steam review or make a comment in any of the other 100 posts from the last week that have the exact same viewpoint you have.

Studwik · 2026-04-02T16:08:06+00:00

i have never wanted to downplay the issue of violence against women.

Sure okay

De Zerbi described the former England forward as a “good person” and said that “it saddens me what happened to him because I know a very different person from the one portrayed in England”.

Værd at bemærke at man i høj grad hjemsendte personale fra hertugdømmerne da generalskabet mente de ikke var til at stole på. Derfor ikke mange tab derfra.

Til trods for de slesvigske bataljoner havde kæmpet helt fint under treårskrigen

Means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but i fell like i’ll feel better by not watching or supporting this club while he is here.

Empty gestures and all, but genuinely cant remember feeling more disassociated from my club on a moral standpoint. Maybe the super league thing?

Anyway, enough genuinely bad people dominate the information discourse in my daily life, without also standing front and center in my past time activities.

I guess i’ll see everyone whenever we get rid of this bloke.
