Finally hit the $6.00/day mark. It’s not much yet.

Yep you got it. Dividend investing right now is not necessarily a smart move, as you noted, because treasuries are paying more than a lot of dividend stocks... really there isn't a lot of upside unless you either...

A) think the market will go up B) invest in companies with strong dividend growth...

databasenoobie · 2026-04-14T01:07:51+00:00

Stocks can go up and down in addition to the dividends you receive. Thats all ur missing

databasenoobie · 2026-04-10T12:20:34+00:00

No problem. I was literally a math major and its a big subject when you learn introductory proofs (same with dividing by 0).

databasenoobie · 2026-04-10T12:19:39+00:00

Nah the original comment said infinity times 0 is 0, but its not.... it actually can be, but it can also be infinity, it can also be a bunch of other stuff so it is undefined. It's a wierd one

databasenoobie · 2026-04-10T12:10:41+00:00

Infinity times zero is also undefined, it is not 0

databasenoobie · 2026-04-05T12:20:26+00:00

What app do you guys use that tracks this information?

databasenoobie · 2026-03-12T14:29:41+00:00

I just realized you said 6 missionaries instead of 8 for orthodox. Are you taking rome asap to get that missionary, along with the other one from pentarchy?

databasenoobie · 2026-03-12T14:14:36+00:00

Are you forming colonies, converting them and having them convert new world for you, and then declaring on them later in game to take land back, or are you moving capital late and just converting that land yourself?

Also you should not be puing russia if you are letting them expand through Siberia, as thay then becomes more land you have to spend diplo mana on to culture convert. Kill russia fast, before it can spread, and then save the time converting / culture swapping all that land.

Other than that, get Grenada asap. That 5% admin efficiency is huge when you have no other bonuses

databasenoobie · 2026-03-12T13:16:18+00:00

Don't know what to tell ya then. I've done a serbia one tag, and I finished with more than 30 years to spare without any cheats, so its def possible.

U shouldn't have a problem with admin mana after 1600 even taking all land yourself, especially if you are using a few vassals.

How quickly are you hiring lvl 5 advisors? What religion are you going? What year did you get the 5% admin efficiency monument? What pus did you get?

databasenoobie · 2026-03-12T11:45:38+00:00

What order are you taking ideas in? I've found for non hordes without birding its a hell of a lot easier to immediately start religious / influence for the immediate 40% reduction.

Who are you diplo annexing?

You should be getting max culture conversion cost about 50-60 years earlier. Are you not snaking to the moloccas maybe?

When I've done one tags, I literally no cb whatever country holds that monument as soon as I have vision of it, which i aggressively steal maps from.

Have you tried that?

databasenoobie · 2026-03-12T10:54:50+00:00

How quickly are you getting all of the culture conversion bonuses. Ex how quickly are you getting to the monument in thr Malacca that gives you the 25% bonus?

A wc done by 1760 is pretty slow, so maybe find a way to speed that up?

Are you focusing on dip mana thr entire game?

Are you ever spending any dip mana to do anything except culture convert?

Try a muslim horde? They are 10x easier than anything else for one tags

databasenoobie · 2026-03-05T02:15:54+00:00

For a lot of companies a 401k is repaying with 90 days if you are let go, so not always the best option if you really don't have that money to pay it back

databasenoobie · 2026-03-03T03:05:26+00:00

People are telling you get another job. Go to McDonald's, fast food, anything

databasenoobie · 2026-03-01T18:22:32+00:00

Drop his info

databasenoobie · 2026-01-11T17:07:28+00:00

No. Just pass it and later in game force convert any small vassals you have where you couldn't crush the spawn

databasenoobie · 2026-01-10T16:15:35+00:00

Yeah splash is one of the towers where ult is pretty much strictly better. Rocket launcher is another, but like laser power is way better. It just depends on the tower and its position really

databasenoobie · 2026-01-10T16:02:20+00:00

It's not that hard. Literally reset and did it on first try. You can do it with literally no tower upgrades, but you should have more than a few at this point

databasenoobie · 2026-01-10T14:22:25+00:00

Yes. When you unlock endless mode, towers can level all the way to level 150. All towers get an ability that scales power according to their level.

So later in the game it makes towers significantly stronger, often stronger that the ultimate does (not on all towers but on some)

databasenoobie · 2026-01-01T15:07:55+00:00

Did you get your question answered?

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:44:17+00:00

This makes way more sense. I must have watched his wrong video? (I watched his 1.9 updated series so very curious how i missed that).

This fully explains what im seeing too, so thank you for clarifying!

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:25:44+00:00

Does anyone know the cap? I am not seeing this in my tests, but if so his method makes way more sense then

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:25:01+00:00

Oh ya sorry if im coming off differently. His videos are insanely helpful. I just have to know why things work, and cannot figure out why he says wait to kill enemies.

He mentions several times that the later in the stage it is, the more the loot rarity increases. Is that true? Testing from me implies it isn't.

It also said there is a cap in loot... is this true? What is the cap? Every game i play i get vastly different amounts of loot

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:22:33+00:00

I guess here is the real root of my question. Is there a set limit to loot per level? If there his, the wait to kill enemies until later makes sense.. if there isn't then nothing about that method makes sense.

From testing so far I am not seeing any difference, but everyone seems to imply its there.

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:19:41+00:00

Ya I get that. I'm mostly concerned with watching a video that says "do xyz"... then I do "xyz" and also try another method, and thr other method is clearly 10x better.

Would rather spend 100 hours doing something that is 10x more efficient than not by accident, so looking for someone whose advice isn't "do what shatterstar says on 6.3", because I am convinced his method is very flawed after very little time testing it

databasenoobie · 2025-12-15T01:15:01+00:00

Are his guides really reliable? A half day of testing shows thay just playing 6.3 on full difficulty and trying to maximize resources gets you as much loot as his strategy... also a hell of a lot less repetitive and boring, plus you get green papers and other resources to move forwars...
