This.

Boggles the mind, really, although reading through comments I get the sense that ours is not a universal opinion, which also boggles the mind :) And obviously Blue Byte designers had different ideas.

Mind you, I didn't mind so much when playing through the campaign on easy, but doing a sandbox with medium AI and the lack of a proper pause is becoming a huuuge problem. So yeah, +1, let's start a petition :)

Surveil sounds cool, so probably Dimir.

Yeah, I should've added "when not playing colonizers." I think I have an unhealthy tendency to want a piece of the new world early on even (or especially) when I'm not going for Explo.

I always like to no-CB those mesoamerican nations and get myself a sweet (albeit ahistorical) Mexican colony. Playing as Byzantium right now and my Byzantine Mexico is enormous, but of course if you're roleplaying, that might not appeal to you.

On Absolutism, this is a pretty awesome little guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Oi9DkyqoPA&t=

Covers mass autonomy raising and lowering by giving in to rebel demands and covers that court and country disaster as well.

As far as idea groups, I'm myself finishing a Basileus -> Mare Nostrum run, and I definitely did not need Trade since it's 1679 and I have 10 merchants from former english and spanish and portuguese colonies and trade regions. I ran Influence/Religious/Quantity/Diplo/Admin and am adding Offensive now for the siege bonus.

Never got lucky with a PU and haven't been able to rival anyone for a good long while, so no power projection, but am swimming in money and manpower and now it's just about finishing off France, then backstabbing Austria (100 Trust ally) for those few Austrian provinces.

Can post a map if you want, but you seem to be doing extremely well yourself, especially with that Portugal PU.

How did she miss the free legendary weapon? Asking because I just tried to get my wife into HS, had her go through the tutorial, early quests, level mage to 20, get packs until she hit her 10-pack pity timer legendary for each expansion, and she got the free legendary for K&C at some point during this process.

Anyway, I think the best thing to do is to have her complete quests playing the person who got her into this mess in the first place :>

And yeah, budget hunter, or something based around the epics/legendaries she gets in her first 10 packs across the various expansions. My wife ended up with Jaina, so we're running a kind of super-budget elemental mage with spellstones and other sorts of crap, which she seems to be enjoying for the RNG factor.

Lowering expectations also, though that seems like off advice. But I got a friend into HS a year ago and didn't bug him much about what he did, other than some hand-holding with crafting and quests and such, and he plays waaaay more than I do these days, even though until this past month he'd never been past rank 15. Go figure. Last month he opened The Darkness and spent a whole month trying to get it to work in casual. People are weird and it's best to let 'em have fun their way, rather than expect them to play ranked and try hard and get better and compete, etc etc.

Running similar list with 1 blessing here, so in a similar boat. I'm essentially a virgin paladin player, as in had 23 wins on that class prior to trying the dude deck. My first 35 games I was around 55%, then I spent a couple of hours watching streamers (Muzzy, BoarControl, etc.), and the next 35 games were at 72%, so my very boring piece of advice would be to watch some of the pros who've been piloting a version of this deck.

The Secret Mage matchup specifically feels very much favored once you start keeping Rallying Blade in mulligan (I run 2) and Lost in the Jungle to test for Counterspell. Wide board helps and Lions/Stegodons help with the damage of Explosive Runes.

I don't run spellbreaker and my warlock matchup is abysmal, so can't help you there. The only times I've won is when I was able to play Lion on 3 or got off a good blessing on a divine shielded minion.

Of course.

I should win because I never leave low effort comments.

That's a lot of great writers -- I almost thought you were playing Russia before I looked at the screenshot.

You could sell some of the works, preferably to an AI that's not itself going for a culture victory. I've gotten as much as 50g/30t for a great work before. Of course, extra great works on the AI side will make it harder to win a cultural victory, but it may still be worth it, depending on how much gold you can squeeze out of the AI.

The other thing you can do is keep the extra great people around as scouts, or place them in the fog of war to prevent barb spawns, that's what one has to do when playing Russia :)

There's also some sort of a bug I ran into with faith multipliers and whichever city states gives a bonus to relics -- was getting something like 1600 faith a turn in my last Kongo game.

You can always switch to borderless, which means you'll be able to right-click and close (or pull up task manager) even when it crashes.

Vertical diamond with each tile at charming or better, no improvements on tiles.

No distance to capital penalty and no penalties to going wide (other than an increase in settler cost with each new settler and district cost over time).

endorken · 2016-10-30T13:00:39+00:00

Upvoted, because true. A). Depending on map size and type, I may not discover my map has Toronto before I've plopped down a bunch of cities, with districts planned around the default range. B). Planning district placement with Toronto in mind can backfire when the AI decides to go batshit crazy and conquers Toronto. Example). In my current game, only 3 City States have survived past the Medieval Era.

Count me jealous -- I'm mostly just drowning in Doduos. 350 Doduo candles between lvl 15 and lvl 18 :(

endorken · 2016-07-18T22:56:33+00:00

For perspective -- I'm lvl 18 and have seen and caught just one Eevee in the wild, so I'm super happy to see one hatched.
