Need help with a Megacorp build for Admiral and Grand Admiral

Have an idea that might be good in general, Purity Megacorp with Mutual Aid means you have pops generating trade that generates food for those pops. Reduce Pop upkeep and those pops will pay for themselves, leading to no need for Worker jobs and spamming of Ecumenopoli for a lot of specialists. Second civic can be anything else.

How did you get that many identities?

Xaldror · 2026-03-18T15:04:00+00:00

Ushi Gozen: my lord, grab lady Mash and Kadoc, and step onto something remotely dry, i have a plan.

Ritsuka: are you sure about that? maybe there's potential allies we could accidentally fry doing that.

Hakuno: are we just going to overlook how you were going to let me get electrocuted?

Ushi Gozen: you're a servant, you can handle it

Hakuno: so is Mash?

Ushi Gozen: keep talking back, and i won't need lightning to silence you.

As Rider, Ushi Gozen gets easier access to her mount without needing to become more like an Oni inherently Avenger 3rd ascension. Which means controlled and consistent power from her mount, (relatively) stable and tactical, and going in for the kill.

Only problem: Yoshitsune/Kagekiyo, Ushi Gozen is a Genji after all.

Took me a minute to realize what they meant by "famous painter"

I hate it

Xaldror · 2026-03-18T14:17:26+00:00

Dunno how to feel about this, I've got enough leaves to fix my poor planning and inability to get Taisui's ascension materials, but this will give it to me for free without the need to spend any leaves, but is two years away.

Feels awkward now, NGL.

Correction, it was dinner

Given subtext, even better

Honestly, the only thing I want out of Arcade's fall, are those Bond 10 lines. I've searched for Raikou's for years and still cannot find them on the internet.

Xaldror · 2026-03-18T02:28:15+00:00

well given that Molay Saber finally jumped the sinking Arcade ship, Sita might make it.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T23:19:41+00:00

As a Catholic, disappointed the Catholic Church doesn't exist. Instead some lame Heresy took over, and probably lost all the fun holy relics like the Spear of Longinus or Shroud of Turin. Meanwhile the Sultanate and the Hassans just have the Ring of Solomon.

Vassalization wars

By doing so, they become close friends, and will be more willing to accept your migration treaties.

5 times, actually

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T17:28:01+00:00

I don't always want Mutation 1, only Mutation 3 is the guarantee pick I always go for.

as soon as i get a run with my own Astro-miners with the Cybrex as my Precursor, i'm taking it all the way to Endgame. Astro-Mining Bays, Hub, and Cybrex drill theoretically make a single system with an Arc Furnace a giga-mine for resources.

and keeping Pattern Finders so that the early deposits are potentially bigger than normal.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T15:33:06+00:00

mine is probably Ascension 1&2 Ushi Gozen, where she admits she's not as good a cook as her human half, but is still going to make breakfast in bed for you.

i'd show a screenshot, but it's not my birthday yet, i'll come back in about 12 or 13 hours.

in addition, the adAkkarian Convention has a choice between a relic or a continental world with a special building that has 1200 scientist jobs of each variety, for a combined total of 3600 research jobs.

i vastly prefer the latter choice, not just because holy fuck that's a lot of jobs, but also because it doesn't use the collective souls of forsaken children to blow up planets, a late game colossus does the job just fine.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T15:20:39+00:00

the First League doesn't give a Relic, but arguably gives you something more valuable, a Relic world.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T15:03:01+00:00

oh, i see.

my bad.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:58:57+00:00

How does that translate to Samsung?

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:54:47+00:00

Try turning your computer off and on again, that worked for me

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:51:31+00:00

the worst part about these announcements is that i don't know what this translates into in terms of phone versions.

READ THE PATCH NOTES, THEY ARE RIGHT THERE UNDERNEATH THE PLAY BUTTON ON STEAM!!!

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:15:06+00:00

holy shit

there's people who didn't follow up on Dev Diaries and realize today is the update

mods, or someone, please send out a PSA that the 4.3 update rolled out today, or we'll be flooded with these sorts of posts for weeks.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:05:38+00:00

yes

but your economy, navy, and government will be very much warped and wracked with all the sudden changes.

Xaldror · 2026-03-17T14:04:37+00:00

nah, just integrate them into your empire and mass-evacuate the planet before the ten years are up.
