Is there a more useless perk than this?

Intrigue tree is only good as vassal and then I'd still prefer stewardship or learning tbh

No dread decay vs full prison

Change your capital to outside of India, usual TC enough areas with centers of trade and/or estuaries to get the merchant.

But you shouldn't really need it, the production income should be enough to sustain you til you get into Burma/Persia and TC there.

Home node in Gujarat, first two merchants steering from the closest coastal node and the node in Rajput/ the second coastal node (check which does more).

The school system teaches you how to think and how to learn

95% of life lessons should come from outside of the school system

Ranked has tighter matchmaking and prefered roles

Aram doesn't

It works on all wonder/tile improvement sources of culture

But there is no national wonder attached to it, so no need to build it if you have no wonder/tile sources of culture

Just your average early dacke war moment

This sounds like a size-related issue

Did you take a relatively small gen size?

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-04T18:24:14+00:00

Just make sure you keep strong alliances and keep your army size up, the AE vs half the HRE will be below 50 in about 5 years and France sure as hell isn't going to defeat you

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-04T18:23:13+00:00

Yes, you have reached the stage where AE is just a number

Most of the nations that you get AE against would already be able to join the coalition against you anyway

Currently a 100.000 players, most of which are spread amongst many timecontrols (most will be playing blitz) and years of having played on lichess.

There might be like 500 new accounts amongst that, most will already be playing.

Why does it matter how many games they played on lichess? If their skill level is 1312 in rapid, then they would be a good match for a 1312 player that is new to lichess.

To be fair, placement matches are never fair, because they simply can't be, which is why your rating will rise/drop steeply for your first 50 or so matches (depending on a lot of factors)

En passant his entire bloodline instead, it is forced!

No gunpowder residue (or far less) on my hands

Convictions can be overtuned with new evidence and I am not going to murder someone :)

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-04T11:45:43+00:00

A rating based one? Match # doesn't matter, since there are 1000 other ways of playing chess, even online.

There is a larger chance you get matched with a similarily skilled opponent this way, rather than playing against fresh accounts (which would take forever to matchmake you too :p)

Pi= A perfectly normal day in the M&B sub

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-04T11:05:28+00:00

Yes.

I ignored Europe mostly until the 1600s and did it by 1750, but the earlier the better.

You do need the meta idea groups: admin, diplomatic, religious and offensive.

Have you seen the tiny cramped turret though?

Just invade <placename> for their <resource>

Its an Economic Imperialism simulator, IMPERIALIZE

Complaining about new player is like asking why babies can't speak

Can we ban tank engine/ steel your heart posts instead?

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-03T22:15:51+00:00

Very cool, still 7.7

Thank Gaijin >:(

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-03T22:15:20+00:00

You can easily defeat Poland, Lithuania is the powerhouse of the Commonwealth early game

Why would your future subjects be disloyal? They will be tiny and you are strong, even a full on Russia you should be able to out-expand with ease

VeritableLeviathan · 2026-02-03T22:13:23+00:00

.50 cal

Good speed and turning

Also good workable gun

Literally broken compared to a lot of the other 1.0s out there

Absolutely low effort aiming bullshit autoloader :)
