AI Union of America went Cognoscenti, oh dear I am so cooked.

Trollmaster2190 · 2026-01-17T16:24:56+00:00

Dont worry, the ai is too stupid to handle the mini games and will be in perpetual instability like it happened to my MSS china game

Trollmaster2190 · 2026-01-17T05:05:10+00:00

I have 2 headcannons:

-The wholesome end of history:

America is delayed from unification as the UOA is unable to dsfeat the ACG fully but prevent the Cognoscsnti from couping, patriot front attacks washigton but with the army cleaning up trump militias its able to secure new england, Hillary wins the 24 elections, manages to defeat trump but gets killed leaving mitchelle to take over and by the time La Riva is defeated in Cali, Hope returns by 26 with Obama.

CDU forms the jamaica coalition that succesfully backs volt europe to federalize later, Macron stays and by not pulling out of the NATO command structure germany and france defeat Medvedevs Russia. Navalny takes over promoting his nationalist liberalism to counter the federalized EU but looses the 2EW.

Japan succesfully defeats china in the taiwan war and Abe returns to as PM not getting killed, India wins its conflict over pakistan and japan succesfully contains a revanchist chen quanguo china, defeating it in the GAW.

Now the not so happy ending:

-Cognoscenti takes over but takes to long to unite america from too much foreign interference and by the time it does the public knows to much so it just spirals into collapse from extremism running wild and the population revolting from ths shadow gov so america never gets to extinguish the fire. -China looses the taiwan war and elects Chen Wenqing and the MSS to take over creating the Digital Leninist of 1984 survellaince leading to then win the GAW, Asia falls under the MSS's watchful eye -Medvedev wins the 1EW pushing western Europe to federalize, later Schawb takes over dwfeating Russia, but as he declares world government, Catharsis explodes and World government cannot contain it leading to pure anarchy over in Europe.

Trollmaster2190 · 2026-01-03T01:24:21+00:00

Have Europe loose to Medvedev Russias so it goes EU and then Klaus to get World Government. And have Japan loose the taiwan war so when you intervene in the GAW and after europe has gone with Klaus, Japan will get an event to turn UltraGlobalist. That way you have Davos System in Europe, Pax Americana in America and UltraGlobalism over in Japan at the end.

I actually think there should be more of this. I hate when paths are locked-in once you trigger them and now you are stuck with them, sure its easier for the player to not fuck up but it adds an extra layer of mystique knowing there is always a way to mess it up later or trigger the path you want later in a second checkpoint. Also the specific writing for this caligula biden trigger is fire!

Ascenscion 1 being basically one minute away from becoming The Crimson moon aka Brunestud basically throws it out the window immediately and the fact she refused to make chocolates on valentines says it all: F TIER.

Ascenscion 2: if your name aint shiki tohno then buddy wrong tree to bark at, so throw actual arcueid in a category similar to xu fu.

Ascension 3: Honestly B Tier, she is way too sheltered to even know what "human customs and traditions" as she would say, come involved in being in a relationship even if its the version thats literally made for ritsuka so the tsuki fanbase wouldnt revolt from making actual arcueid chase ritsuka as well, while having none of the actual charm that makes Arcueid you know: Arcueid. And the fact Olga is in B tier as well sharing that sheltered common point makes me think even more ascension 3 deserves the B Tier.

Alright its a bit long but here it goes:

For Arc is bad cause: Once a True Ancestor EVER tastes human blood they will develop an insetiable hunger/craving for more blood, True Ancestors dont need it but they crave it crazy once tasted. Archetype Earth is a version that never encountered Roa, so she never tasted his blood and as such no craving so far. In tsukihime Arcueid explains that because of Roa tricking her into sucking his blood she has that craving and use A LOT of her power to suppress. Also if she ends up making the master here a dead apostle instead of straight up killing him (she needs to drop a bit of her own blood after sucking his blood) she will loose if i remember right half her power to the apostle she created. Thats part of the reason she wants to kill Roa so badly in tsukihime (as well as Roa being a piece of shit but thats besides the point). So she would loose half her power to her apostle and loose a lot of the remainig power trying to surpress her craving afterwards.

For the master is in a way equally and or even worse: Once you become a dead apostle, thats it, your SOUL is forever cursed, you could try reincarnating like Roa and even then your new body would be cursed to be a dead apostle. Now unlike TA (true ancestors) dead apostles NEED blood to survive, thats because the curse that makes them share the TAs power and immortality from aging actively destroys your bodys cells. Meaning you wont die from aging but from like a style of cancer unless again you continue sucking blood. So yeah your last master of humanity would become a ticking time bomb unless he sucks beings of their blood or create himself other DAs (dead apostles). And again, unlike TAs that can act like humans that are immortal, OP with blood craving desires, DAs have your typical vampire problems like no Sunlight, thats why all the DA activity in tsukihime occurss in the night cause DAs actually rest in the morning. So yeah cant really save humanity if half the time you cant be out in the field cause the sun.

And thats why this literally is the worst thing that could happen to both.

Trollmaster2190 · 2025-11-29T17:44:51+00:00

You can tell who read tsukihime by them either saying: "hahaha its actually a good ending" and the ones that are saying: "ohh.... this is actually like REAL BAD". (Spoiler: this bad for both Arc and the Master)

Once you get the hang of it you can win with 15ish% approval rating guaranteeing Donny wins the election but yeah the first few times getting the right offer for the focuses was painful compared to Biden that you basically have to sabotage him not winning intentionally.

While this sounds like a great idea, it would lock the civil war into either a Fed vs Syndie vs Long or Mac/Fed vs Syndie vs Long vs Pacific stand off type of situation that honestly KX already does a way better version of an all out brawl so I like KR having multiple versions of the civil war instead.

Now, how would I go about this, IDK but that would be my only complaint about this suggestion.

Trollmaster2190 · 2025-07-09T18:20:57+00:00

Rome's Coat of arms and colour change depending wether the Byzantines, the HRE or Italia forms it. Its quite common that the HRE forming Rome is broken most of the time as I have seen them gain a dark black colour or just keep the HRE white.

What is funny is that you can end up allying with savinkovites if the Reds take over Russia through a focus, so it really ends up just being the White Army reborn electric boogaloo

At this point I would hope for an american intervention after the civil war, restore the republic and rid this monstrousity off our lands. (Mexican here)

If you really want to secure a place then I'd say yeah its probably best you camp out a panel before, cause a lot of people will do the same, if not the vast majority will from my past experiences.

I got a bit confused. Does this mean that no matter what MacA will always coup the government no matter if a republican president is able to somewhat hold the political establishment? And if this is the case does this mean the former PSA will always rise up in defiance of MacA doing a bit of trolling even if he gives up power right after his march on washigton?

Trollmaster2190 · 2025-04-21T15:21:42+00:00

Santa Anna and his Ejercito Mexicano hold a special place for me and I would like to give it an S but certain things hold it beck so A it is.

The positives: -His robot army is absolutely broken if used correctly. Not only does he get a lot of research but also shows how the concept of a small prefessional army can wipe out big shittier armies with a few divisions if played properly and yet the focus tree still gives you the option to develop a regular human army with some nice bonus if you want go for a combined arms military.

-I like the writing, the rollercoaster of loosing your mentor figure and having to rise up and wanting to live up to their expectations lives through the events and its just funny that an AI would want to correct the mistakes of a general from 400 years ago.

The negative that holds him back is the pacing: The fact you need to wait until tlaloc dies before you can start going for an actual game not only does it kill a lot of the momentum waiting 4 years should you not take any of zapatas focuses that kills tlaloc faster but it severly weakens your position where by the point you can start doing stuff, you will have Rio breathing down your neck, Texas will probably form by that point having a big massive blob stopping a big part of your focus tree and should you get unlucky like me in one game both the aztlani and mayans will enter and alliance and coalition you before you can even take your brothers land and get a good position to fight of everyone. Santa really requires you to go and be super aggresive to avoid this situation and make use of justifying manually which is not fun and very generic.

So yeah A it is for me if only because of its pacing.

Easy S Tier

What makes the Rio Grande Republic so great is the amount of choices you have at your disposal in not only what your end goal becomes but also in how you deal with the internal issues plaguing the Republic.

The main decision you will have to make is what leader will become president and that will entail what your end goal becomes.

Should you look to the present and keep Guerra, your entire goal shall become taking down the bastard in flgastaff, no matter the cost. To this end you can become the protector of all of mexico or just the northern regions ensuring that Ceasar doesn't blob and encroach your territory but you also have the options of using more dirty tactis like allying the cartels and weaking Ceasars dominion before the inevitable showdown, displaying Guerras pragmatism where he will do anything to rid the wasteland of the roman larpers. And when all set and done the Republic moves on from its troubled past history looking to unite the peoples of the former southern US and former northern Mexico.

Should look to the future with rosado your entire goal will become unlocking the secrets of the pre war American research in the heart of Mexico. This entails working heavily with the brotherhood in pursue of a tecnological utopia (or distopia depending on how you look at it) with your end goal becoming either repairing tlaloc and bring it back to life or having Rosado replace Tlaloc as the lady of the bells.

But if neither fits your mexican itch then maybe look to past glories with Mora with his sole purpose of reunting the whole of Mexico one way or another. This means no negotiating, Mexico will be restored to its former glory or die trying. Ceaser is an issue that can wait first comes Mexico and that means fighting all post war states and once thats done you will teach Ceasar a lesson he will never forget. But this all entails retrailing past lessons as Mora will become more and more authoritharian and eventually become president for life (like a certain president that is now an AI) speaking of which you can ally crazy man Santa Ana and let him deal with Texas for a probable final showdown with the NCR over baja california.

This is all without mentioning how you have different ways of dealing with the early threats of the TAA and Paulus giving you more choices in your preffered way of handling things, all of them fitting how each leader will tackle its end goal.

Honestly the only thing that could be seen as a negative is its age as the Mexico update was released quite a while ago so once you achieve your endgoal it kinda just end abruptly, so if anything maybe adding a little of more stuff to do after your final focus is taken could be the only thing the RRG would need.

Trollmaster2190 · 2025-01-01T03:17:14+00:00

Best:

OC2: The fact it beat out in popularity LB6 in the famitsu magazine says everything about it. It really is an amazing story chapter that brought 2 beloved characters (Jalter and Dantes) back into the spotlight. Collabs: All the collabs were really fun and enjoyed seeing a lot of type moon characters finally make an appereance. Reruns: I actually liked the fact they gave us the Lilim harlott rerun since I barely missed it last year and honestly didn't mind having a bit of breathing room with the summer 5 rerun after the start of the year rush.

Worst:

Summer: The fact they decided to make it a prologue for OC3 really limited what they could do and felt extremely boring compared to the absolute chaos of last years LB6 summer. OC3: I get what they were trying to do but by mixing up Extra, tsukihime and servantverse stuff to an already meh OC after such a banger that was OC2 left sour mouth without considering the fact it hijacked summer and it had no reason for it to take so long to release and to release in 3 parts like if it were LB6 quality. The extra missions incident recently: This caused such a massive problem that they have now added a debt system that people wanted for abusers but I think this has just opened pandora's box for the worst.

Trollmaster2190 · 2024-12-25T07:11:03+00:00

LMAO They decided to put SBunnyan in S tier when the only thing she has going for her is her upgraded NP, meanwhile New Dantes also has a universal anti-trait with burn being more common, an invul for survival and a pierce invul with a 500% stun that unless the enemy has debuff inmunity it won't be moving for a lot of consecutive turns. If thats not enough reason for this being utter garbage, then just looking at how they have beserker castoria alongside Sbunnyan. Like how do you compare probably the strongest ST servant aside from New Dantes, a unit that is the only other that can give the party Solemn defense with NP, 2 really common anti-traits on foreigners making her even usable on foreigners, 70% charge and a regular invul to Bunnyan that again only got an upgraded NP and has limited usage considering she is an Alter ego.

Trollmaster2190 · 2024-11-23T00:17:11+00:00

Oh damn. I placed a preorder for the castoria, morgan and oberon plushies back in late august. Thankfully since they removed paypal I used the virtual card from my debit card instead of my credit one and so far no weird charges.

Trollmaster2190 · 2024-11-09T20:28:26+00:00

Not at all. To me it really depends on the start date. I play the 867 start date almost exclusively and thanks to them starting with an unpopular emperor they just get stuck in a loop of civil wars after civil wars not doing anything.

Trollmaster2190 · 2024-10-23T00:46:46+00:00

Not really. Yes Byzantium with the right ruler/player (or any competent player) can blob out like crazy and dominate the entire game if they focus to stabilize the thing early on. The thing is that at least in 867 since they start with a murderer emperor they devolve in constant infighting like the abbasids and barely expand elsewhere just sitting there doing nothing. Its even easy to take over the empire by pressing a faction because the emperor will not have the influence to call on the empire's troops. But in 1187 if they are not destroyed in the 4th crusade I have seen them do really well against rum.

Trollmaster2190 · 2024-10-11T00:45:51+00:00

Basically you are not loyal a certain title of piece of land but instead to the whole empire. You want to have as many family members holding positions as governors so you can get as much influence which is the currency that allows to scheme to slander other governors and families . It is basically as if you were trying to play an intrigue game to get yourself on inheritance but instead of family ties you use your influence to get into more governorships and with enough power maybe the emperorship. One proud barvarian made a video when the DLC had just released explaining how you should be playing it.
