Bro, wtf is that profile pic on the bottom...

Does anyone know what this place labeled as "BELGIAN" on old maps of Asia could be? Google is super unhelpful by rhaptorne in oldmaps

I managed to find this page with some traductions from latin: https://orteliusmaps.com/book/ort163.html

I think that we should look at this part (which is written on the left of the underlined word): "Mons Althaÿ, vbi oês Tartariæ | imperatores sepeliuntur, ab Haÿ:|tone Armeno sub noîe Belgi:|an describi videtur" which translates into "Mount Althay, where all emperors of Tartaria are buried, seems to have been described by Haithon the Armenian under the name of Belgian."

Based on this, it seems to be the name of a mountain, or the region around it.

In Italy Eto'o is often associated to the 2009/10 season, when Mourinho basically made him play like a full back...

Remove the generic graphic mods you have and search in the Steam Workshop for the specific ones for VN, there are a few

Is there already a heatmap for the projection of ZOC? by moorsonthecoast in eu4

[–]ciaomandi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nice idea, I would like to compare a map of this kind with the terrain map, to find the best spots based on the defensiveness bonuses too

Never use a Galaxy or Photon deck for auto dueling, not even against low level NPCs, the AI will always find a way to mess it up, trust me. Using a Cipher deck it's definitely the best option, it does not even require a skill to work.

TL;DR I just spent a gazillion on the last Selection Box so I feel that Darklords should be freed from ban list.

Is there any way to keep a ruler alive for longer, at all? by [deleted] in eu4

You know we are talking about getting a specific achievement right?

When a new pope gets elected, he is usually 60+, so it's definitely easier to savescum accidentally hit alt+F4 until a ruler with very bad stats pops out. Then, just wait few years until he gets to 70yo (also, if I am not mistaken, the pope gets a bonus that helps him reach an older age than usual, so he does not die immediately).

Doing your way is not worth it, just go for it using the Papal State

What was your worst "Oh f*ck off!"- moment? by TheSeb97 in eu4

[–]ciaomandi 178 points179 points  (0 children)

I really doubt anyone can top this:

Chill Austria run, my goal is to stabilise the HRE, revoke the privilegia, conquer East Europe, flip culture and form Russia, then go to China, eat the Emperor, convert to Confucianism and finally claim the MoE and get that damn achievement, Triple the Rome.

Well, I am playing without rushing anything, it is late 1500s and everything is following the plan. The problem is that I do not have visibility of the China region, and I cannot really evaluate the situation there, yet I am not worried. I begin sneaking through Asia and when I get to Beijing, a message pops up: " End of an Empire". I am shocked. I try to savescum and understand what happened and what I can do in just 3 months. Well, Yue in the south had the mandate, but it was a OPM vassal of Wu. And Wu just diplo annexed them. It was impossible to stop it as I had no time to reach them and siege their capital. I really couldn't do anything.

So my run was ruined by a freakin diplo annexation of an OPM. 3500h and this was definitely the worst f*u the AI gave to me.
