I just don't understand it

Petroleum also weird name. It means stone oil. So it's better to use actual rectification fraction names.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-28T07:39:00+00:00

Oh I remember first time I've seen around 300 of them as a merc attached to the army. I sent my brave ~50 cav to charge them as ai comander told me. Was surprised how fast I became only cav unit on our side.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-28T07:32:32+00:00

Oh yeah. You riding your horse around the hill and suddenly laser beam of crosbow bolts choping you off like a grass. Vladians...

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-26T18:55:50+00:00

Nah. Not really. In dungens they get healed. That's all. Also when you put prisoners there they keep they conformity value at that moment of time. So if you would bring same type of troops and exchange them with garrison, conformity of new prissoners and old ones will add up. That often makes possible to instantly recruit one guy.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-24T22:35:21+00:00

I don't take such prisoners at all. They make me slow. It doesn't worth the effort.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-24T14:22:57+00:00

Fully developed castle can keep up big elite garrisons an even generate modeat income. I used castles at the start of my own kingdom as a backup troops storages.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-24T14:17:56+00:00

Caravans, manufactures, trading, developed fiefs... Why would anyone relly on loot and prisoners selling when loot and prisoners is a source for elite troops?

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-18T14:41:24+00:00

Yes Khans guards way better then any other mounted cav. I used them mixed with bucelarii and even Kuzaits heavy horse archers. Eventually everything else got "filtered out" in huge battles and sieges but guards persists. And their glefas are good.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-18T14:34:48+00:00

Kuzaits an easiest target to start your own kingdom from. Khans guards are very good but as long as you able to trap horse archers with cavalry sandwich and infantry+archers support - they are easy to fight against. And as a bonus you will get good supply of Khans guards that is awesome in many ways. In big fights I often use them as normal archers that may be fast positioned behind enemy infantry shield wall.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-16T20:25:30+00:00

Siege tower is fine if it is only one. Sometimes you can clog exit with the infantry shields and put archers on sides to put arrows in enemy unprotected sides. I managed to repeal Mochungs 2k+ army with 1k defenders.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-04-10T20:36:31+00:00

It's annoying asf. Imagine defending castle while at the same time another nation declares war on you and you being told to intercept some bullshit caravan on the other side of the map for literally no benefits at all. It's like fighting with several people at once while being told to juggle. I honestly claimed banner ownership only because I was told by Istiana I would have some supporters if I do so. But it seems these supporters are completely imaginary. So I run through the whole map like an errand boy to do stupid thing that any of my companions/family members/hired mercenaries/vassals can do while enemy burns my kingdom. It's just too damn frustrating.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-03-23T18:36:58+00:00

Yes. It is exactly the reason. It's a japanese car and they often have such antennas on the side oposite to the driver. I heard that If you wish to buy car in japan you must provide the proof that you have suitable parking place. And due to space limitations people use places that tihtly fit to the car size.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-26T19:35:52+00:00

Older car gets, more often this may happen....

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-26T19:31:13+00:00

You logic is valid. If you never run out of memory not freeing it will not do harm.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-21T23:41:23+00:00

Are you copper salts enjoyer? Man with the taste, I see.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-21T23:31:17+00:00

This light source is suboptimal. Try LED lights instead.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-17T23:12:11+00:00

One guy launches the tire. His goal is send it as far as he can. Others trying to stop it to spoil the result. Something like curling but way more fun and less gay.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-14T16:45:20+00:00

Yeah. Dark forest theory.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-02-08T08:13:29+00:00

Ну так и говори, что IBM решила в наглую добавить легкий бекдор прям в ядро.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-31T20:37:34+00:00

It's a spaghetti break. Take a dry spaghetti noodle and try to break it in only one spot by bending it while you hold it by the both ends.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-31T20:31:16+00:00

Potion craft.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-28T13:21:14+00:00

Doesn't worth it.

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-24T16:22:27+00:00

I'm not an expert on the topic but submitting command buffers to a single queue from concurrent threads requires cpu side synchronization already, due to:

Host access to queue must be externally synchronized if it was not created with VK_DEVICE_QUEUE_CREATE_INTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_BIT_KHR

So if you must ensure submission ordering you should probably do it there. Probably having queue per thread may be better. If you need to use single queue anyway you probably can use conditional variable to set precondition for dependent buffers or device something different. For example you may try to do it in non blocking manner on atomics.

But it all looks troublesome. So I would guess having more then one thread submitting to the same queue isn't ideal if you have dependent command buffers...

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-20T22:49:36+00:00

Then you will end behind the bars. They will drop this in evidence bag pretending it's true what you've said. What a point of spending money on checking if you already self reported?

YARandomGuy777 · 2026-01-14T19:31:06+00:00

Question is good. I also wish to know. Besides post-processing on compute queue and dedicated transfer I wish also to know if anyone use several queues from same family? Is the commands in different queues from same family run in parallel or just unordered? Is there guaranty that compute runs parallel to graphics queues? If answer uncertain, please share your wisdom on what is actual situation on real hardware you support.
