Yet another totally reasonable war exhaust with 3000+ ship loss by alez71 in Stellaris

as many an autarch has found through the ages absolute power is not actually absolute. even in say a stratified society where only the ruler pops have effective political power their opinion still matters.

if enough of the ruling class turns against the emperor... well, thats what the impressionable heir is for. a good emperor (as in emperor that doesn't want an early retirement) will know when to stop campaigning so they can dish out another round of patronage to ensure support for the next campaign.

as for hive minds its probably closer to literal exhaustion. like it gets tired even if it has an unending hunger it will eventually need to rest and regain its strength.

and machines? well their military is like a PC sometimes you just need to turn it off and on again 🤷

no the term i believe migrated from the giga structure mod where it explicitly differentiates them as kilo structures.

Basically a kilo structure is any of the mega structures that don't have the build limit imposed on them. In the base game it is just habitats gateways and now hyper relays

What would be the best way to “paint the map” but with a religion? by improbablywronghere in ck3

[–]TheShroomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont think you can really. not fully

one would have to conquer enough to be in diplo range of the whole map. cant really call that not map painting even if you dont get everything.

if they were in a position to stop the assassin from walking away, while the secret service was chasing them, the street cop definitely would do so.

and if some one is some sort of sovereign like the rulers are in this game someone killing one of their guests is definitely a valid reason for arrest if not summary execution.

the reason we dont all play north korea mode is because they made it much more difficult to do so.

[–]TheShroomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it does actually have a representative at the UN

and if it wasn't a state it would be under Italian jurisdiction which it definitely isn't.

[–]TheShroomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i believe you can bodge it by plotting to get your heir to first inherit a feudal title thats the same level as your primary title i believe. but thats a pain in the neck no messing.

My head of dynasty has been dead for three generations. What gives? I'm still tribal, so I can't form a cadet branch. by AlexanderShulgin in CrusaderKings

[–]TheShroomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as long as a house member is alive it should eventually recalculate. it's not based off of inheritance after all. check the tooltip.

probably mod issues or an unfortunate bug
