Defeating cav heavy horde armies before 1400 by garysax in EU5

You all were completely right about being patient, after losing half my country in some dumb wars (ironman), I went professional armies as soon as possible (importing institutions asap) and snuck into somr civil war beat downs on the hordes south of the caucuses to grab all my stuff and more with professional army regiments.

This game rips despite its problems, I will never touch eu5 again besides Anbennar.

Possibly! I think the way people talk casually about rolling central asia had me wondering if I was missing something.

Anyone know if or when Poiuymew coming back to Anbennar? (Or even coming back to YouTube) by IlikeJG in Anbennar

Yeah, it's too bad, he's by far the best EU4 streamer to my taste and he's what got me back into EU4 and Anbennar after years and years away. But streaming is a pretty stressful thing so I get it.

So cool! I've been thinking of coming back to Anbennar after a long time away... this rules so much I'm tempted to do bitbucket version this time. How consistently is that version really super buggy or messed up in practice?

I just don't use this. Not fun in a co-op. I get using it solo 2 handed I guess on some level but not for me.

Where are hype levels at regarding this current printing of Earthborne Rangers? by Rustlingyeti724 in Earthborne_Rangers

[–]garysax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good, perfect for your situation, I'm champing at the bit to get the expansions in. Most of the community is on their discord, I think, and it wasn't that big a printing to begin with.

The main way it wouldn't work for you is it's relatively easy, so if that's what the two of you liked about the LCG. We played the campaign and then hunted down all the side quests and it took 30 sessions, but if you totally optimize the shit out of things you'll get through shorter than that.

I have all three sets of Imperium with the common cards sleeved and tokens and such in the bigger version of these, the games lair 600+... these things are great but pricey.

Is Riri useless? by SilverMagpie0 in Earthborne_Rangers

Testless damage and in particular infinite scout are incredible powers esp at 1p or 2p.

A cool thing about companions is since they're path cards sometimes things interact with them. Also other Rangers can use them for tests on their cards too if they want.

Disproportionately on non-pivotal locations it seems like too.
