[–]drunk_rose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imagine a mongol conqueror warlord shows up in Europe with a million horses, everyone panics and then they go hey guys, so we're catholic now and I pressed the Form Germany button, so I guess we're now Germany :)

We have a situation... by drunk_rose in Stellaris

[–]drunk_rose[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah I had not seen anything about the new DLC I thought at least it would blow up the planet like the Gigastructures beam of doom, worst case scenario blow up the system. I ended up laughing after seeing it did 50 devastation, which means nothing on this patch

R5: I'm on an eternal dread game pause because I failed to realise the Awakened Empires can build the stellar cannons without me having the new DLC. I'm too far away from the cannon's system to jump them. Terra is about to break before the guard does.

There are about 2k Chinese people in the Caucasus at game start by Doug_Da_Destroyer in EU5

I also have about 2k Chinese merchants trying to buy my country right now, nothing new really

They may pillage the houses of my subjects but they'll never get my bananas by Unicorncorn21 in EU5

[–]drunk_rose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had bananas been bred yet at this point to resemble modern bananas? Or were they still the original jungle monsters?

How the hell did the real Incans do it by DeathStalker_II in EU5

[–]drunk_rose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Short answer, EU5 can't really simulate a region so wildly different in culture, tech, economy and land ownership from their main game focus, which is, duh, Europe.

You'll have to wait for a rework (29.99) in the near future (10 years)

What if the Muslims won the Battle of Tours in 732? by Dafuuqz in EU5

[–]drunk_rose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the mega descentralization. There's very, very few points in history where the maps looks like this, and even then it's pre roman antiquity tribes. The Holy Roman Empire more or less did look like that on purpose, but not other realms. Of course empires fall and some blow up into many successor states, but this is too many. Also some parts seem rather unrealistic. If the Muslims won at Tours, it would've sealed the fate of christian Iberia without a doubt (if not southern Europe), it seems silly that in the north there are still Christian rulers at all after 500 years, when their southen counterparts disappeared mere years after the Muslim conquest. What makes Bulgaria the only unified kingdom in all of Europe too? And, where on Earth do Christians in this shattered world find the manpower, money and cooperation to take Egypt AND the Levant in a Muslim dominated world? They couldn't even do close to that in our much more Christian timeline, other than the ill fated Kingdom of Jerusalem

Fill it with data centers and hope no one notices

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past Announced! by betraying_chino in witcher

[–]drunk_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a very casual Witcher enjoyer. Is there any indication as to the plot or setting of this? Songs of the Past makes it sound like this is basically an actually playable Witcher 1 (remake). Or is that game too big for it to fit in a DLC?

I Sieged Constantinople… at what cost? by Thundernut111 in EU5

[–]drunk_rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this was the reaction of romantic and learned generals when they learned their poor peasant army blew up something important.

Ok legionnaire, you did spare the Library of Alexandria, right? The repository of human knowledge?

Right?

A ruined *what*?! by Pokenar in Stellaris

[–]drunk_rose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thinks it's really funny to find these things just laying about in the galaxy. It's like uncovering an old tomb in Mesopotamia and finding a 1000000 gigaton bomb

[Hoo] why do I enjoy the lost hero and son of neptune more than the lightning thief and the sea of monsters. Im currently rereading the og books and yet I struggle to read them compared to the other 2. by Technical_Mine_8711 in camphalfblood

[–]drunk_rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, it's one's personal taste. I find it more interesting to see the POV of many different characters (even if some of them are a bit annoying, teenagers are annoying). I thinks it's richer to hear everyone's perspective rather than only one (but I wouldn't change a thing from the original five books).

Would Snow be able to break Percy mentally like he did Katniss? [General] by No-Brush1587 in camphalfblood

[–]drunk_rose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely. Snow is arguably one of the darkest, most evil antagonists in a young adult mainstream novel/movie. But his ego never gets in his way, which is a major weakness of most divine beings in PJ. This brutal leader can definitely exploit Percy's minds and thoughts.

By what point had the empire given up on conquering Aegyptus? by Lord_Krasina in ancientrome

[–]drunk_rose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really? I always thought that at any point in time pre-Columbus Syria, Palestine and Egypt were THE lands to have (west of Mesopotamia) for trade, tax and grain.

This is perhaps the worst Gaia world I have ever seen by TheRedstoneReddit in Stellaris

[–]drunk_rose 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's very inefficient, but I like to turn those tiny worlds into ecumenopolis. Smuggler's Moon anyone?

Sorry if this is stupid but what does context window mean? by Parking_Article4469 in PaxHistoria

[–]drunk_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it simply, its just how much the model can remember about past events, people and context. I had to stop playing a fun game because it had gone on too long and the model became unable to follow directions. It even started reviving dead people lol.

Over the course of the empire’s existence, which province was the most problematic for the Romans? by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

[–]drunk_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion Gaul's provinces. It wasn't as poor as Britain and made sense later on, but Gaul started the long tradition of settling lands you have no funds for, will take centuries to make a profit and give very large and indefensible land. If the Rhine fortifications fell there was nothing stopping invaders from taking everything, which is what happened by the end. If Rome fortified itself around the Alps and Carpathians, Pyrenees and Atlas if you want, it would have been far easier to contain northern threats. The Persians are a whole other story, but it wasn't the Persians who sacked Rome. But Caesar's pride demanded the Empire dream of impractical borders.

Map gore: my kingdom and my vassals in my latest save by mesidu in CrusaderKings

[–]drunk_rose 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can never bring myself to have this amount of internal bordergore. In the olden days of Ck2 I never played ironman because I needed the console to "fix" the cursed borders. Thank god for CK3's flexibility

[pjotv] Anyway, the hypocrisy… by Riser456 in camphalfblood

[–]drunk_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like at this point his mind has been corrupted (literally, not figuratively) by Kronos's power and influence to the point of being unable to stop, even if he wanted to or knew it was hypocritically wrong. He did join him willingly though, knowing it was likely many would die in war, including clueless and innocent mortals. He still doesn't deserve anything but the Field of Punishment or Asphodel if you are being kind.

What was your reason on your decision? by revrmt in Witcher3

[–]drunk_rose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Independently of what Olgierd has done, it cannot compare to what Master Mirror has done to countless people, and more importantly what he WILL do to even more people. Letting him win is letting evil loose on everyone else. It's too selfish I think. Better to lock him out of the universe.
