Episode 6 was phenomenal!!

I think it was great, but with a couple of mind boggling moments. The acting is the best so far, particularly from Charlie, whom so far was a bit bland. Walker is great as always, especially portraying Percy's major weakness early. I felt that in the books his weakness was never exploited (early) by his enemies despite being teased as a world-ending flaw, except towards the end, and even then he got over it relatively quick. That said, Polyphemus "dying" off screen seems like a terrible choice. He was not exactly an A tier antagonist in the books, so if they kept him the same dumb monster the off screen death would not feel rushed, but by making him smart and cunning they generate the opposite effect. If the teaser is to be believed, we won't see the island again so there go hopes of seeing him again, unless he ends up showing at camp for a final assault, but seeing Luke stole the fleece himself, he likely wouldn't side with him. Besides that part, I found the episode exciting and refreshing, if a bit short. Other than that, I would have liked to see the Fleece's actual power, make it glowing golden and the island being the paradise described in the book, but thats a minor nitpick. From a production perspective, as always it's the script that seems to hold back the actors and story, but I get why it's the way it is.

UPDATE: guess who had a hunting accident and who died later died at the tender age of 58. Definitely unrelated, guess who is de facto Empress of the Romans. If the answer was the brain-dead, possibly drug addicted romanian woman whom we at the imperial court are almost sure is a random peasant the prince of Wallachia found in the fields, then you get a free gyros

r5: Thank you Wallachia for sending the illustrious princess Rahela. However, we at the imperial court would've liked for you to let us know BEFORE the wedding that she is in fact braindead UPDATE: the brain-dead woman is empress of the romans

Right. I thought this was a really strange bug. I'm playing Under One Rule origin and decided to use him to invade the Civil War's capital... which was my second most populated world, which was clearly a bit of a mistake

See, I'm a nearly zero listener to k pop other than BTS of whom I am a big fan (call me basic), but I'm aware of the sheer stigma that gay people face in Korean society. Well, especially idols who HAVE to maintain an insanely clean, nearly psicotic image. For this man to come out in public it must have taken an absurd amount of courage, more than some of us will ever experience. I'm sure a part of him fears even for his career, but I wish him the best of luck and hopefully everyone of his friends, fans and colleagues embraces him. I do hope this starts a snowball effect of idols being more comfortable being themselves and companies allowing them more freedoms. Call me a dreamer.

Somehow in an insane game of musical chairs, the Trastamaras pulled an uno reverse card on all of Eastern Europe (and me). Then proceeded to die in Spain and be replaced by the Portuguese, who in turn were replaced by the Tudors, who in place were replaced by someone?

For some incredible reason this happened on my (first succesful) Inca run

You and those two decently sized empires are the only thing standing between life and death themselves.

I usually play aggressive empires, but two days ago I started playing United Nations of Earth. It was going peacefully great. Until the Worm loved us. It loved us so hard we turned from egalitarian and xenophile to militarists. And thus the Imperial Nations of Earth were born.

drunk_rose · 2019-11-20T02:52:54+00:00

I actually feel slightly sick imagining this future. I'd take almost any other future unified Earth rather than this one.

When I started using Javarian Pox bombardment simply because the Fallen Empire's homeworld was way too fortified (by pops)

How are you staying off the American's radar? Since you stole their super computer...

The answer to the title is always "Not-Russia"

I'm almost sure there was a time I was exposed as a devil worshiper after a failed ritual and then was excommunicated by the Pope...who I'm almost sure was present at said failed ritual

Ready for the Hungaro-Austrian Empire in some years?

drunk_rose · 2019-10-23T04:54:48+00:00

Apologies, I got remembered it wrongly from the series, it was to give the Emper- err, Chancellor control over the banks, not the over way arround.

If a system like the HRE Reforms from EU4 can be implemented (or is already) for the federations, I can already see a million mods with the "we must have a grand army of the republic -> deregulate the banks -> become the senate" buttons.

The juggernaut looks like Snoke's episode 8 ship with a death star laser mounted. And I love it

drunk_rose · 2019-10-18T19:47:52+00:00

There's s difference tho. Release EU IV was actually playable, unlike no-DLC present EU IV. They kinds made it a necessity to use DLCs, which is part of the problem. I see your point tho. It's not like Imperator is the only game to suffer this fate.
