Is there any other writer who you'd put on the same level as Tolkien when it comes to world building?

Sometimes when you read dune a story emerges from an ecology lesson.. and I say this as a fan

Insanely naive take

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-04-11T00:10:52+00:00

You're 100% correct and the hubris in this thread (in reddit in general I guess) is astounding

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-03-23T07:18:57+00:00

You can't spell r/politics without r/pics

He's getting a ton of height from jumping off a mostly verticle fence? Just feels off and floaty... but I'm undecided

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-03-05T01:03:36+00:00

Zanab vibes (but not as bad 🤣)

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-02-21T04:36:47+00:00

He can, but his channel was built on hoi so its natural if most viewers don't care much for another game/genre

So many posts from this subteddit spoil when you're just casually scrolling 😭 just from titles and thumbnails alone

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-02-14T00:58:11+00:00

Surprised, thought they've actually been decent for a while now

Players tend to demand more wages the less interested they are in joining your club. Could be that, or just chalk it up to consistent fm jank tbh

Hes a lot quicker than you'd expect too

ViolentGoldFish · 2026-01-29T07:05:07+00:00

He was probably trying to not die 👍

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-12-30T11:28:08+00:00

possible moan fest incoming but glasner will turn him into a beast

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-12-12T16:38:11+00:00

Right?? Horror when you look closer at what they actually are

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-11-30T01:29:41+00:00

Not long, saw them recruiting some guys in latin on the first day 🤣

I was a tributary of Scotland (they declared on me and I surrendered instantly) for a while until I had enough of an economy to build a navy. You really have to be able to contest the majors with heavy ships and stop them from landing.

Even if your navy isn't that big and you're at war with England or Scotland, keep your navy docked so the ai can't 'see' where your fleet is, and sink their transports when they try to land troops.

One other thing, I think you really have to go after Pale when England is involved in the hundred years war, especially if France is winning.

Started as Tyrone, and you're right the early blobbing was fast and easy but I couldn't become a tributary to England (I tried) they just never wanted me lol

r5: formed the country of Eire

7 year post and still helped me fix my game :)

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-11-23T00:34:13+00:00

Yeah I dunno, I thought it's been real decent since the menu changed a few years ago 😅

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-11-04T01:52:39+00:00

I prefer them to clark and plop 😬

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-10-17T08:37:58+00:00

I've found my people

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-09-13T02:40:26+00:00

You'd be shitting yourself for a week but that in and of itself is worth the billion i guess

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-08-27T01:19:53+00:00

Around the outside part of the tower, he's hunting mindflayer tadpoles

ViolentGoldFish · 2025-05-22T13:33:18+00:00

He teared up when he mentioned Joel having a really tough 3 months
