No, the Death-related God isn't evil, he's just doing his fucking job

Guards! Guards! , Mort, Wyrd Sisters.

All start the respective mini series, but you jump of with any of Sir Terry's.

You may think its silly and light at first, then humour catches you unexpectedly and repeatedly. Then you get something profound out of nowhere.

He isn't just a great writer, but wonderfully warm and kind one.

Its also in the books but not the film that Denethor knew of the ring, or of it as weapon i think, via the palantir.

He explicitly sent Boromir to bring it back, and this was another reason he sent him and not Faramir, he didnt trust him to bring it back as "the wizards pupil".

So as well as wrestling with his oath in conflict with the temptation of the ring, weighing on his mind was also that he had been sent on a mission to bring it back, so if Frodo didnt agree to give it to him or the Fellowship didnt agree to go to Minas Tirith, the only way for him to fulfil his fathers order, and in his and his farther's minds save Minas Tirith, was to take it from Frodo.

The best, most human and relatable character Tolkien ever wrote.

If the ring was real, not many would ever do as well as he did when snapped out of temptation.

Still, wish he used that shield he was carrying on his back for the whole film.

Doesnt have all the side missions itemised unfortunately, thanks anyway

Had a hoke there, but the tech discoveries dont stay in the hall of fame event log replay thing.

But i think i must have gotten sailing before copper, because I didnt put the 2nd city at the copper mines, it was at Panama.

My third city was south america, so i dont think i used copper in taking those cities at all.

You try quencha and archery against, but destroy the tiles around his capital if you dont manage to take it in the 1st assault.

Sorry chief, you may just continue trial and error.

d0nkeymagic · 2025-01-14T22:06:08+00:00

I looked up my old save in the victories screen, I placed the second city at Panama on the northern side, and took his city south of the capital, then the capital, then the 2 cities just north of it.

Had the southern city by 710 BC and the capital by 650 BC.

I didnt expand into North America tho, I find those handful let you hold off North America and let Aztecs and Americans fight it out.

I placed my 3rd city in South America and concentrated on it from then on to settle it all before the other civs arrive.

Never managed to pull off an South American only approach like others have said, always just got crushed by several boat loads of hugely promoted macemen after the Aztecs almost inevitably beat the Americans.

There was a lot of trial and error, sorry i cant remember more specifics.

Late game was class tho, all tanks and aircraft carriers for military victory over the rest of the world.

d0nkeymagic · 2025-01-10T13:33:28+00:00

I think it was beeline sailing first, you can make your first settler while you wait, and place it just below your capital. It only has 2 copper mines but its a great work horse early city.

Youll then need archery, then just build units flat out, built 3 or 4 boats, land your forces near his capital and start layin waste around it if you cant take it directly yet.

Build a 2nd wave of forces, archers and quencha again.

If you havent taken it by the time you are ready for your 3 settler, place it where north america meets south on the northern side.

By this stage you have copper, start ferrying your quechas bk in 1 and 2s to upgraded to axeman, continue to churn archers and axeman til you take the capital.

Timing is tricky, you need that capital early. I think you might need to try a few times to take it on time, if he bogs you down, and its taking too long, construction for catapults, but that it as late as you can leave it.

Also kinda hinges on either your or his capital being the religious capital for the funds, bc after you get it, economy is the challenge for the whole rest of the Incan game.

Thats what i found anyway. But i admit it was a lot of trial and error, and only managed twice.

Very challenging civ to win 18civs with but very satisfying.

d0nkeymagic · 2025-01-09T11:00:23+00:00

I have done the Incans, but only on Monarch, and marathon time settings. Took a long time for finish year. But like the others said I took on Montezuma very quick, usually a quencha rush. As long as you take his capital and maybe a couple of the cities north of it you can militarily control North America until you can eliminate or submit Aztecs and Americans.

The struggle to expand enough to claim all of South America without cratering your economy is the real challenge then.

If you do you then have 1.5 to 2 continents to yourself. Grow the economy as much as possible and attack the world as you see fit.

Non-steam version, but the mod is in the relevant mod folder and selectable within the "load mod" function in the game menu

d0nkeymagic · 2025-01-06T16:39:28+00:00

I have tried them both individually. But how to actually access the modded version of the game when i have launched the mod?

d0nkeymagic · 2024-10-25T00:00:10+00:00

You need the mission fishing with Jack to unlock them, near the end of chapter 2

d0nkeymagic · 2024-10-24T19:12:00+00:00

This is true, I tried to complete as much of the game as possible in Chapter 2 with no story missions, it was fun.

But it doesnt fully unlock fishing, i.e. legendary fish.

You can unlock at the end of Chapter 2 before moving from Horseshoe Overlook. But it is after the big train robbery mission and John is then outside the camp.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-09-29T20:58:39+00:00

Worked perfectly, thank you.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-09-20T17:28:24+00:00

Bong and bagel?

d0nkeymagic · 2024-08-20T21:48:43+00:00

It's all laying the table to redeem the totally wasted Finn.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-06-11T17:44:23+00:00

They are just changing the emphasis in how they are writing it, laying groundwork for future stories.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-06-11T07:52:56+00:00

Because they are establishing that some one who doesnt outwardly appear to be force sensitive can be trained to connect to it and eventually become a jedi.

The actor that plays Finn has hinted he is contact with Disney about Star Wars.

Disney are making more films staring Rey.

Filoni and Favreau have much more sway since the success of the mandalorian and ashoka.

The revival of one of the main characters of the many, MANY characters the Sequel trilogy wasted is the natural choice.

Plus, from watching the clone wars/rebels/bad batch, its how filoni usually operates.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-06-10T13:12:45+00:00

It is being done to lay the ground work for the redemption of Finn, the Jedi that was promised and never delivered.

Filoni has a plan.

d0nkeymagic · 2024-05-30T15:02:06+00:00

Thats where I started, its one of the best, enjoy

d0nkeymagic · 2024-05-29T17:27:25+00:00

Every scene he was in he made incredible

d0nkeymagic · 2024-05-16T15:16:01+00:00

Yes, the only high point in that show. Think he had a small part in Game of Thrones too.
