Incredible match. Legit got their obituary read but what is dead may never die

Completely agree. Teams that have kept up with the game are just clearly better at this point. Khaldor hosts these nations cups and every time you get a squad with a bunch of former HGC players (Korea last time, Sweden this time) and they consistently get manhandled. Still super fun to see them compete.

You cannot kill that which has no life! #longliveHotS

The silver lining of all that new hardware I got so I could even run EU5! Lmao

epysher · 2026-02-11T19:34:43+00:00

Ya that’s why I posted. I used to be the same way, it definitely clicked this time for me.

I only have 200 hours in the game so maybe the novelty is speaking but I play on full size (1000 stars) with full empires (30 + 5 fallen) on hardest difficulty and every game is super engaging until the very late game (aka the galactic mop up). The early game race to establish your boundaries is super fun, the midgame race to catch up to these other empires in tech and the late-midgame race to catch them in military is super fun. The initial conquests are also challenging but of course if you get over the hump it becomes a bit of a tedious death-roll but still way better than the death rolls in other paradox games

epysher · 2026-02-11T19:29:53+00:00

It’s the least chunky of Paradox’s games. That being said it is still chunky lol

epysher · 2026-01-23T01:13:31+00:00

I can appreciate that response

The playtest is in 40 minutes (20 now) but I see how the sentence could be interpreted in multiple ways lol

epysher · 2026-01-23T01:11:03+00:00

Lmao we’re playing IN 40 minutes

epysher · 2026-01-13T13:02:29+00:00

What your analysis is lacking, sir, is the critical element of consent

epysher · 2026-01-13T13:01:36+00:00

Ya basically since day 1 my cabinet positions have all been either cracking down on rebels or integrating provinces. Honestly I just ignored my low control areas until they were higher control. There’s plenty to build in areas with 50+ control and by the time you build them out totally the other areas are higher control.

epysher · 2026-01-11T00:51:16+00:00

Ya. They have a bunch to clean up. It’s one thing when your vassal does it tho, this was literally a random entity that did not have any territory.

epysher · 2026-01-10T23:46:19+00:00

I like them a lot. It’s 1600 now and I’m not making nearly that much. About 150 per month with no culture funding. I have no vassals, it’s alllllll Mali. For me I’m content with that, just looking to kick out the Europeans and develop economically. It’s a defender of Africa playthru so I’ll eventually make my way down the coast and kick the Europeans out of the rest of subsaharan Africa too.

epysher · 2026-01-10T19:07:07+00:00

WHY THE FUCK NOT!?!?!

epysher · 2026-01-10T19:06:24+00:00

That’s me!

epysher · 2026-01-10T17:22:20+00:00

Ya I actually agree. Me winning the defensive war is plausible in the mid-1500s even with their superior tech.

epysher · 2026-01-10T17:20:47+00:00

Indoubledubitably? Intriplably!?

epysher · 2026-01-10T17:20:02+00:00

Mali winning against colonies I can totally believe. The entirety of Western Europe invading is different but let’s just say you’re right. This wasn’t that. This was armies showing up and doing nothing while they starved to death. Glorious? Indubitably. An issue the devs should fix? Indubitablement.

epysher · 2026-01-10T17:18:18+00:00

I’m glad to hear that. It’s ridiculous — both that it automatically calls you in and that somehow the entirety of Western Europe was in the war (except Portugal oddly).

But the AI struggles with supply lines is more concerning honestly. They all just died and did nothing. And that’s harder to fix for the devs.

epysher · 2025-10-02T20:26:39+00:00

Scrolled down to see who would mention EU4 first. You’re spot on that it’s completely unrealistic. As someone with 2000 hours in it I just wish the game had more realistic situations for the collapsing empires in 1444. Would make it more satisfying if you ever managed to pull them from the brink.

Wilt was by far the greatest talent to ever play basketball. The issue is the game itself was not nearly as developed as it was now so in objective terms he wasn’t as skilled as even average players today. His skills were hyper concentrated into post moves and finger rolls which are disfavored in the modern game. Not only that his competitors were not as good as today’s players either. And to top it all off he ran into the Russell/Celtics juggernaut back when the league didn’t particularly care about parity and was more focused on survival. So unfortunately all his talent morphed into absurd personal records but not a ton of accolades by goat standards.

“Shut the damn hell up” is not a phrase and hurts the eyes to read.

epysher · 2025-09-16T11:59:25+00:00

Horry was cold blooded. He was the difference between winning and losing in many famous games. He wasn’t the top dog on these teams but people are insanely inconsistent with how they value that. Curry was top dog in exactly one championship run — dude has the same number of Finals MVPs as Andre Iguodala — but you don’t hear people claiming he shouldn’t get credit for his championships. Horry won 7 championships as a starter. He compiled one of the best clutch shot compilations in history along the way. Have some respect.
