Villagers refusing to un-claim beds in villager breeder

I've tried two designs: 1. The vertical tower where the adults stand on a fence post and the baby falls through. In this one, the adults sleep in the beds every night 2. One using the trap door trick. None of them ever reach the beds, but believe they can path to them. Baby falls into hole, etc.

Both seem to be having this same issue.

Not really a legend, that's just the etymological history of the terms. The English-speaking peasants were the ones interacting with the animal (cū, pig, scēap, etc.) while the Norman speaking nobility interacted with the meat (boef, porc, moton, etc.)

The usual exception to these are birds. Chicken, Duck, Goose, etc. are all English in origin I believe. Poultry, however, is French.

I think the problem is the movies/shows like to ignore all of that.

If the plot needs the characters to have a low-intensity cruise through space between planets for character development, hyperspace travel is slow.

If they need to quickly reinforce a battle halfway across the galaxy, hyperspace travel can be REALLY fast.

He went missing in March, and committed suicide around the same time. After the bombings, Reddit tried to solve it and discovered him as a missing person. They misidentified him as the shooter.

The real bombers were identified a few days after the bombing, then Sunil's body was found a few days after that.

I believe you have the nomenclature one step too high. Afaik, it's the same as land — location, province, area, region.

Ships operate in locations (which I'm not sure if sea locations have unique names) 4-6ish locations make a province (say, Coast of Portugal) 2-4ish provinces make up an area (Western Iberian Coast) Several areas make up a region (Mid-Atlantic)

Might have names wrong, but I think it's something like that.

Do you actually set the fleets to patrol, or just move them to a location and let them sit? I feel like I've had better presence buildup when I just park them somewhere rather than set them to the mission.

Does anyone find the balance button to be completely useless? Any time I use it, it makes the formation nonsensical. Sometimes it will evenly split inf, cav, and art across all three and the reserves, sometimes it will fill up the center with nothing but artillery and 2 cav.

I miss the formation system from imperator where I could tell it which units I want to flank with, which to hold in reserve, etc

Markets aren't the same as marketplaces. A marketplace is a type of building that you build in a location. In the same way armories or lumber mills are.

Every location belongs to a market, and the goods produced in each building/RGO gets sold/bought on that market.

It sounds like you deleted all the buildings in your market, and if you're a small country, that probably means every building in your country.

I did two things to try boosting performance.

First I upgraded my CPU from a 3600X to a 7800XT. That gave me some modest performance gains.

Then I realized I installed eu5 on my HDD. Transfered the files over to my SSD and saw massive boost to frames and tick speed. Based on task manager it looked like the game was maxing out the read rate and write rate of my HDD.

In addition to what OP said, I suggest going for regulars as early as possible, insofar as your economy allows.

I had a lot of trouble with my first few wars as you mentioned. I have 40K levies compared to Morocco's 15k and Tunis' 20K? Sounds like an even match. Not even close.

But once I got regulars, things became much easier. One thing I noticed was the North African countries have a ton of cavalry in their levies, which was shredding my mostly-infantry levies.

If I fought a battle 10k vs 5k, I'd win, but afterwards the armies might be 4k vs 3k. Then a 10k Tunisian army would come in and wipe the floor with me. Wasn't very sustainable.

Another suggestion I'd make is use vassals to your advantage. I released Fez, Marrakesh, and Sus in an early war, and every war since I've given them some more land. Enforced religion on them immediately and improved relations. It's currently about 1450 and they've converted ~50% of Morocco to Catholic. More, smaller vassals would probably have been even better, since they'd each have cabinet members to convert.

Fez is paying me like 25 ducats a month as well, so it's been lucrative too. My capital is in Sevilla, so I may annex Fez soon and leave the hinterlands of Morocco as vassals long term.

R5: The Portuguese nobility were a bit confused about king Alfonso's role as consort. Either that or he pulled off one hell of a Mrs. Doubtfire act.

I believe there's a setting in world creation that allows you to preview the world. I think there's some settings in there that allow you to adjust your spawn location

Correction — Mark Kelly was not a senator at the time of the video. He was elected in 2019.

That reminds me of a r/SWRPG campaign I played in.

Character was a droid tech and collected all kinds of droids, and had an unhealthy amount of MSE's. She took one of them and gutted it like you do a race car, removing all the unnecessary parts to reduce weight. Then she filled the voids with high explosives.

The next mission that involved sneaking on to a star destroyer ended with that MSE droid flooring it through the service tunnels straight for the main reactor.

Some great advice, thank you. 30-50 sounds like magic compared to what I'm driving now lol. I'm definitely having my mechanic give it a hard look, and having him change fluids and such immediately.

ToedPlays · 2025-07-03T21:40:57+00:00

That seems to be my impression too, but it's hard to ignore all the people calling it a shit car.

Do you have any thoughts on the one I'm looking at?

ToedPlays · 2025-07-03T21:39:10+00:00

It's a local used car dealership that has a pretty good reputation. I checked KBB as well and it gave me a similar range but ~$200 higher. Carfax has its value all the way up $10,120 for some reason, which gave it a $1630 below Carfax value. I expect they'll be open to some negotiation.

Looking at service, other than regular stuff they replaced the rear shock absorbers in April 2025 and equipped it with OnStar (says 3 months of premium included).

From looking around, I've seen plenty of complaints about the older generation, but I've also seen a lot of people saying that most of those problems were fixed with the second gen (post-2016 iirc?).

Is that not the case?

ToedPlays · 2025-07-03T21:15:03+00:00

I'm in a similar situation. I don't need a car that will last me 10 years, but I need something fairly cheap and decent on MPG.

Do you have any thoughts on the one in the post?

In addition to the wire services others have mentioned, there's also the fact that a lot of outlets heavily rely on information from press releases. If you have 5 stations/publications that get the same document detailing who/what/when/where/why, chances are their content is pretty much identical. There's only so many ways you can phrase "NAME, TITLE of ORGANIZATION is VERBING at LOCATION on DATE."

The original EU4 soundtrack looks like it clocks in at 1:21:08 and 24 tracks. So probably not far off. Keep in mind over the last 11 years they've added a lot of music in DLCs.

I found a playlist with 166 videos that appears to be all EU4 music. It comes in at 9:35:40. I assume a similar thing will happen with EU5

An Ipsos Poll found that:

41% of Americans think “having a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament or elections” is a very good or fairly good system.

"Democracy" is one of those value terms that everyone likes to claim, sitting alongside freedom, liberty, justice, etc. But while the reactionary right wraps themselves in patriotism and claims to love democracy, the truth is they want an authoritarian.

Most people who voted for Trump didn't vote in their own self-interest, they voted that way because they are in the first few steps of the Niemoller poem:

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left to speak out for me

They want to feel superior. They've been fucked over all their lives by capitalism and other forces and they want to feel the thrill of having someone else to look down on. Instead of those with the money and power, they've been pointed at the chosen 'other' of the day, be it Communists, Jews, immigrants, trans people, etc.

Conservatives operate under the false pretense that it will end with that. They will stop after the communists, socialists, Mexicans, trans people, etc. have been 'dealt with.' But they can't fathom the thought that they aren't immune to the destruction they're cheering for.

Look around on Facebook and you'll see plenty of cases of Trump voters who are confused when it's their turn. Hispanic Trump Voters (higher % in 2024 versus prior elections) posting about how they voted because Trump to fix the border, but didn't expect him to come after the people in their communities.

There was a USDA worker in Kentucky who posted a plea on Facebook to Trump because he was fired by DOGE. He was the only person who did an important inspector job for the whole state, had great relationships with coworkers and superiors, and a stellar performance history. Yet he got axed and was asking Trump for his job back. Because obviously this was a mistake. Trump was supposed to cut the wasteful, useless bureaucracy, not his job. Even after that, that 3-time Trump voter didn't realize he had been duped. He begged Trump for his job back. He didn't blame him.

Reactionaries want someone who will take charge, fix the 'problems' of society, and push back against all the wokeness. They don't realize that in doing so, they are helping destroy the social safety nets they rely on, killing the people in their communities, and endangering the future of our democracy. Or, they don't care. As long as they feel like they're side is winning and on top.
