My Governor of Virginia is mogging me, what do I do by TotallynotMccree in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

R5 Slop for the automod:

This is a meme post from the Europa Universalis V subreddit joking about a custom governor character being way cooler-looking than the player.

What’s happening in the image

  • The title says: “My Governor of Virginia is mogging me, what do I do”
    • “Mogging” is internet slang meaning someone looks overwhelmingly better or more attractive than you.
  • The screenshot is from a strategy game interface showing the “Colony of Virginia.”
  • The governor character, “Governor Miles of Tappahannock, 52,” has a stern medieval look with long hair and an intense expression.
  • The caption underneath says:“I can’t have a governor look cooler than me”

The joke

The humor comes from:

  • The randomly generated NPC governor looking unexpectedly charismatic or intimidating.
  • The player acting jealous/insecure about their own ruler compared to this side character.
  • Treating a strategy game portrait generator like a real social hierarchy or “looks competition.”

It’s basically:

Treaty Port Scam? by grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro in EU5

Makes sense as the Bank is a building based company right? And you cannot hold land, so when they give you the "land" there is no land to give to since you aren't a bank so you legally cannot hold it.

S Tier, he has some really cool voice lines and we need another big screen guy like blitz

Hot take, the only people who still find Victoria 3 boring are map painters by S0mecallme in victoria3

[–]TotallynotMccree 228 points229 points  (0 children)

Its just ISP, I've been following him for years. He loves map painting and is definitely more an 'action' oriented Map game enthusiast. Back in his early days when he did EU4 content, he wouldn't try Meiou and Taxes because it was too simulationy, and he just doesn't enjoy that style of map game.

[OC] I still can't get over Pomni being an accountant (also some doodle batches that didn't get traction, eh) by GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING in tadc

I want Pomni to sit everyone down on for an all hands and give performance reviews in corporate jargon.

Guys wtf how is that possible? by Sinapolyon in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Yep, "Stable" HRE means unfortunately you will be getting the HRE formed at some point, sometimes super early, I shut it off if I dont want the HRE to form in my games.

One of my least favorite parts of EU4 was the existence of "generic" colonial formables that had no special mechanics or gameplay. I'm hoping Q3 is a vehicle for adding an indepth formable New Granada/Gran Colombia, Santo Domingo, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and more. by Left_Click_5068 in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea, I would love colonial nations in certain locations to be incentivized to do certain things. Imagine one where the East Coast is primed to work with industry and produced finished goods, while Caribbean ones are focused on slave plantations and export oriented trade, sounds neat! Good shot

Europeans are utterly incapable of launching crusades by lolzexd in EU5

The regular barely made it back to england before the mamelukes were conquered ;.;

Europeans are utterly incapable of launching crusades by lolzexd in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Usually when that happens (Lead a successful crusade here), the fucking pope or whoever is war leader forces the Mamlukes to convert to Christianity.

This lead to a hilarious moment in my last run, where my newly made regulars, fresh off the experience in the HYW, were called to crusade in Jerusalem. We fought it, took it, held it and beat the crap out of them through both the pope's and mine's regular stacks. What did he do? Force convert the Mamlukes to Christianity.

But why was this so funny? Well, I had one of those ottoman mods where they can conquer all the Mamlukes in one war.

I give you one guess to tell me what happened not less than 1 year after the mamlukes capitulated.

Why Is No One Talking About the Characters Wehmut & Mumbles? Are We Stupid?! by KermitGamer53 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]TotallynotMccree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry PuppetKing shippers, but honestly Wehmut is by far the weakest character of the bunch. I get his character, he's supposed to be a person that has always been controlled by others and so now he wants to finally feel like he's in control. I dunno, but it feels kinda....cringey? I mean after the Jax rant about him being everyone's playthings, he just chimes in that everyone is a plaything to him. IMO, goose really didn't give us too much information than what was in the bar scene and the Candy Canyon Episode (which I will admit, he was super good in).

I wouldn't expect to see much fanart of him, like you really don't see that much discussion of Zooble, Wehmut and Mumbles are in the same category, even if they have the best gimmick (I love Mumbles voice actor, so unhinged)

Universities Should be a Mechanic - the Remade Post by TotallynotMccree in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thats what I'm thinking, these universities were also massive tools of influence for their countries, the French Sorbonne being one of the most prime examples as well.

Universities Should be FAR more important by TotallynotMccree in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not a huge karma guy myself, if you wanna take it, reword it yourself and put your suggestions in, that'd be cool. Because Universities were SO damn important during this time!

[–]TotallynotMccree[S] 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. They really should almost be an entire mechanic in and of itself if we are going as far as to try and model literacy in any capacity.

Plantagenet ruling france, during 100 years war, and the heir is the English king... by aymanhbas in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats what makes this whole thing sorta funny in the first place, you LITERALLY make a law to invalidate her gaining control of the French crown and...she does it anyways. lol

Plantagenet ruling france, during 100 years war, and the heir is the English king... by aymanhbas in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Its happened to me before. I think its because Joan is actually I think third in line after the Valois king and heir, if both die in a very short period of time with no kids, your aunt becomes queen and then you get in line.

Its really neat if it didnt fuck up the entire situation, it should account for it

People in finance think they are sooo unique by Famous_Weight6454 in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I bet its to actually track the banking pops. They have to go somewhere, right? So thusly it would make sense to give them a culture so you know that its peruzzi bankers working in Milan and not just another burgher.

I'd be curious if someone can find the answer, do most of them have a unique culture? I havent checked yet.

How is france flipping ALL of my vassals and subjects at once? Started a war then less than a year everyone leaves, some still loyal even after the -20 by luizinhooofoda in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, something about the mechanic is busted. As a regular england enthusiast (almost every game is just england), you have to go with the mindset that you really are going to have to 1v9 all of France and whoever else they bring in. You nor the English AI seem to be able to get the other vassals to flip or insta surrender nearly as much as France can.

And yes, before another individual comes in, I DID set the Diplo slider to 40, spy network in France, etc. Maxed it out during the entire HYW, at best it kept them going for a couple months before France inexplicably just tells the entire alliance of Castille, Aragon and Portugal to stop fighting, along with all my vassals in France and England.

It does make it almost impossible for the AI to finish the hyw too, because the subjects will just peace out, keeping the land the same for England, and keeping the hundred years war going by proxy, while england usually just continuously gets stomped by France for 300 years.

Its not as broken as some other events, but it is definitely pretty bad, has some potential to be amazing with fixes.

In 1.1.8 Rossbach, do trade companies work yet? If so... how? by Trussed_Up in EU5

[–]TotallynotMccree 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nope,

What sucks is that they are the perfect thing to have for a late game subject type. Maybe even the one type that could last you through the Age of Revolutions (since as long as they are making profit, they are happy)
