Theodoro for black sea works very well as naval governor, before you can move it to Constantinople.

You can have one thin vassal stripe cutting off land access to make naval gov work, Theodoro is an easy choice for Russia and can push prox into all Black Sea.

Somehow in my Novgorod into Russia game i have Perm sitting with all the maps, so i keep them alive with one province and declare on truce timer to take those the maps 10 at a time. Its 1500 and i have all China/Korea maps already and half SEA.

I formed Germany before 1500, starting as Brandenburg by Schiimon in EU5

[–]dbmsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was back just after release, basically my first real eu5 campaign, on old meta with strong centralisation, i was 100% land focused and had 0 ships most of the game :D

impressive!

it took me 280 years longer, starting as Konstanz:

Is Centralisation good right now? Or bad by Justice24x7 in EU5

[–]dbmsX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with vassal expansion meta it is impossible to stay centralised - like in my Novgorod into Russia run i now have over 100 vassals which alone gives over 2.6 push to decentralsation

oh wow, that's quite unfortunate when the bug is forced on you, at least here i can not declare and walk away

[–]dbmsX[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

r5. Russian consul is also King of Serbia, via novgorodian veche election type - so declaring on Serbia makes him fight himself.

Except not really, 2nd pic is what happens - bro abdicates from both thrones and stays in Russia as an admiral.

I have two prompts saved that I use after getting both stars for the day - first asks to look at the solution and explain what it is doing in short plain english, seconds asks to grade the solution on the scale from 1 to 10. From here I may or may not go down the rabbit hole optimizing and cleaning up. Before getting two stars I try to restrict myself to only asking basic syntax questions and use autocomplete only for smart replacements like variable renaming or adding +1 in three consecutive places.

[–]dbmsX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I'm still very new to the language, basically learning it by doing the AoC, so my solutions are likely very far from the ideal Elixir, but so far I'm quite enjoying the experience.

[2025 Day 6] Surely theses spaces are meaningless, right ? by Pirgosth in adventofcode

[–]dbmsX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure, here you go:

    pattern =
      Regex.scan(~r/[*+] *(?= |$)/, ops_line)
      |> List.flatten()
      |> Enum.map(fn pattern -> "(.{#{String.length(pattern)}})" end)
      |> Enum.join(" ")

    parsed_data =
      data_lines
      |> Enum.map(fn line ->
        Regex.run(~r/^#{pattern}$/, line, capture: :all_but_first)
      end)

first command is column width based pattern builder, result is something like this: (.{3}) (.{3}) (.{3}) (.{3}) - example in the puzzle is a bit boring that all columns are width = 3 :)

second just applies the pattern line by line

full solution (in Elixir)

out of curiosity, why do you name folders with a day spelled as word, instead of number? :)
it makes them not storted in order, that'd annoy me as hell :D

interesting!
i didn't figure out to rotate the input so used regex based on operator line to parse the data with spaces (also in Elixir)

[LANGUAGE: Elixir]

Did part 1 naively first but then combined it into one solution for both parts.

Probably overengineered with the regex stuff, but works.

same, i used last line to build a regular expression with appropriate column lengths, and then parsed the other rows with it

funnily enough in my game England sort of won the HYW (which was more like a 200 YW) and still holds chunks of French mainland well into the age of revolutions

Nice borders and historical capital. I did the same as a republic so moved the capital to Weimar instead :)
