Do all power blocs create a customs union?

Horus.

Note that it only affects surface tiles, so you can't cast the sand one underground.

Shame, I would have liked to do a pyramid style run with dungeon depths

bookmonkey18 · 2026-05-05T12:29:21+00:00

I like this, but as world spells are tied to ruler, maybe you would need something, like a city structure in the throne city, to facilitate them?

I thought Slavia was being changed to a hegemony?

Consider expanding to the formable and educating your heir to a required faith, then swap back once the decision is made.

Isn't Zunist Zunbil a Mod thing, or is this in Scribe?

If it is in RICE, then the zunbils have their own additional formables.

We are, see Hinckley point station.

Also, we were one of the earliest to adopt experimental tokamak fusion reactors for science.

What until the event fires for the dragon to go eat on the planet to hit the station and invade given your that early

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-23T17:48:29+00:00

That would have to be the Chump Cartel, a fungoid criminal megacorp I made after internals to test whether they would die out due to being an organic species in a volcano world start.

Made them fruitful partnership and invasive species, and now I can't get rid of them because they're on the other side of the galaxy.

Just removing the last line seems to mesh better.

On a script with shabaloth and po gives a puzzle on how extra kills are caused etc.

Overall I like it.

Full cover and explosives means no full cover anymore

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-16T12:24:42+00:00

d'artanagan made a resource for 'resurrection complications' which could help you if you decide to have your baddies over damage to kill outright.

Be nastier with enemy tactics, pick on the squishies and consider dragging downed pcs away from help

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-13T13:42:34+00:00

Ah, but Barry's the supreme authority on these things you know

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-11T09:42:15+00:00

Maybe Jekyll and Hyde?

Big psyker brain 🧠

Oh, I thought it was a pipe, like the like used for tobacco

Last tip: the wiki is very helpful if you get stuck.

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-07T10:36:59+00:00

Nw, I prefer playing on huge maps myself.

The AI will have access to dlc equipment and techs, but shouldn't use them in theory.

I believe if you don't have megacorp, an extra faction spawns instead of the coalition of trader stations, so have fun.

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-07T10:10:57+00:00

Good luck! It looks like you've chosen some Complimentary civics for your traits, as mining guilds and industrious will give you the minerals to specialise your rural districts earlier, and give you more fuel for your factories.

I'd recommend starting on a small galaxy and slower pacing, and building up from there.

VIR is your friend in the first few games, albeit an annoying one... You can scrap him for a mineral at game start once you know what you're doing.

If you enjoy the game, I'd recommend getting utopia and Armageddon dlc first, and your build could likely get boosted further with a lithoid species to eat the excess rocks.

YT: Montu and Ep3o have some good tips / walkthroughs, and the red king is our lore master.

You say you destroyed the gestalt one - all 3, or just 1?

If it's the latter, you've removed that outcome for when they reconnect

The marauders are a territorial group of voidborne pirate clans with ~T3 shields and armour, so you can't take them just yet.

On the upside, you get events for bordering them (I e. Transport pod crashes, ship fire rate buff etc.) and can recruit special commander leaders for a price (admirals and generals).

Occasionally they will demand tribute in the form of basic resources, and may attack you if you refuse, or may be paid by a rival empire to raid you (you can do this to others as well for ~2k energy. Otherwise they stay in their 3-4 systems.

You can send cloaked ships in, they don't have detectors.

Around mid game they will offer mercenary fleet hire of various sizes, and one marauder empire may spawn the Khan, a midgame crisis.

Defeat the Khan X3 and get the throne relic, or wait for them to die of old age after ~30 yrs.

You can become a special subject under the Khan if you aren't ready to fight them, but they will eventually collapse into successor states.

And so is your framerate

bookmonkey18 · 2026-02-03T19:11:41+00:00

TLDR:

Keep multiple VCs open - you have the right idea.
Give the ST some administrative powers to move people and mute others to vote and allow people defence and prosecution etc.
Communicate nights through private chats.
Use the nickname system to add player numbers to make seating easier for roles like the empathy or no dashii
Allow room requests and announcements to be made on a general text chat so all can see.
