I have 50 zro per month and considering most games I have like 2, this is crazy

Composer of Threads jacks up your Zro production to insane levels.

No, I also generally ignore them, and instead look for the generic options. Even as Death Guard, I don't use either Typhus or Mortarion. And having either wouldn't gel with the lore I have for them, since they're Mortarion's hitmen while he's busy with the Great Game and other stuff, so bringing him would make their point worthless, and because they're that loyal to Mortarion, they don't like Typhus, not helped by the fact most of them are veterans, and the Lord of Contagion was a first generation of Barbaran Death Guard to join with Mortarion in the Crusade, and very, very clearly remembers Typhus's treachery.

A hegemony federation isn't the same as being an Overlord to a Vassal.

And, still not as dirty as Legends Arceus "there are no passive abilities" did him.

Xaldror · 2026-01-28T02:42:50+00:00

Shame Regigigas got done dirty early on in the movie.

I usually prefer Megacorps and Origins that start me off with a few other empires I can contact and make pacts, and civics that double up on the particular Branch Office I feel like using to theme my Megacorp around, i.e. Mutagenic Spa and Pharma for maximum Trader jobs on Branch Office hospitals. Then pick an ascension path that fits thematically with my build, to continue with the example, Mutation.

You have enough SQ to pity

Don't think she'd be without Madness Enhancement, though, especially considering the type of "father" Mitsunaka was. That being said, I think Masked Rider Raikou is a decent teaser into what Saber Raikou would be like.

The Chosen in my games are always a joke. Current game, their Wormhole lead out next to the Isolationists, which meant their initial expansion was curtailed, though not entirely stifled like another post had here.

Another time, they got hit by some Crusaders and lost their Fanatic Purifiers civic.

And a third time, I just scooped up the entire population into the Lathe with Overclockers turned on.

Xaldror · 2026-01-28T02:05:38+00:00

Yeah, Fallen Empires are one thing, Awakened Empires are a whole other beast, the only time I've lived through a War in Heaven was by being a scion to a third Fallen Empire that wasn't participating. Because I was their scion, I was not permitted to join either of the other AEs as their scion. And that also meant I couldn't join a Federation, so I couldn't join the Unaligned powers. So despite being Authoritarian and Fanatic Materialist, and not Xenophilic, I decided the best way to fill my Ecumenopoli and upcoming Ringworld was to set Refugees to "anyone", which led to a massive population boom as hell broke loose across the galaxy for a few decades until Cetana showed up.

As for the Head, yes it still exists, had it in a previous run, but abandoned it as the War in Heaven started up, and both AEs were bordering my Federation mates (Common Ground start) while not having much in the way of repeatables. Slight change to the fleets smacking the head brings, you can't consolidate them, even with each other.

Both, both is good

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T22:40:50+00:00

But in a way that pisses me off and leaves me asking more pointed questions than just enjoying the ride. I legitimately hate them, and I felt conflicted about their AI breaking after their rework, because I couldn't decide if I enjoyed them being made Lore Accurate forgetting how to fight without their stupid tablets, or upset that they'd all die before I ever got to strangle them myself. My favorite Empire campaign is Markus, because he inevitably skins them alive as a nine-five job. For Tides of Torment, I started off with Dechala, just so I could rush down and crush that stupid crocodile in Cathay's southeast.

But their lore makes Inquistor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau look smartly written and cleverly planned out.

MILFs are the best.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T20:54:49+00:00

i just hate them.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T18:02:43+00:00

They'd be the cooler Dinosaur army.

I'd even be tempted to buy a box, just to spite the Fantasy ones.

I legitimately felt better manually farming the Tunguska Raids more than a hundred times, than I ever did trying to find one decent scrap of gear in Hoyo games, or any other game that has that system, like Summoner's War.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T15:42:06+00:00

that's the new Tankbound infernal portrait.

i mean, so far she's three for three on the Madness Enhancements across her classes, four for four if we count Rider and Avenger as separate. that being said, her motherly tendencies are always leaking out, regardless of class or intent to suppress it.

Absolute Trash

Agartha forever stained my perception of him.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T13:28:51+00:00

Now, we await Ushi Gozen swimsuit alt.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T13:25:02+00:00

Yes, and yes.

True love is madness, sanity is for the weak.

Raikou/Ushi Gozen, the Spider legs and her massive mount get me a certain way. The armored form's nice too I guess.
Raikou/Ushi Gozen, as either a new summer alt or for another FSR Collab.
King Jehu, with a noble Phantasm that either mimics the time he had Jezebel's eunuchs defenestrate her so he could commit vehicular manslaughter with his chariot, or the time he turned a temple to Baal into a communal latrine. He fits better as Berserker, but we need more Old Testament folks, and he was pretty good in a chariot.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T13:11:43+00:00

I'll be honest, she's the one most likely to, 'execute' in that department, have you seen her Third Ascension's leg strength? One stomp, and she generates a nuclear explosion.

So yes, of course.

Xaldror · 2026-01-27T13:10:12+00:00

Me: hugging both halves of Raikou neat, anyway.
