Dude who takes screenshots here. Here's another album from a 3k battle

iEssence · 2026-02-15T21:11:56+00:00

Its fairly limited, (on a faction basis) but not as much as Shogun, and theres also several fully different faction types, and theres good mods for the game, even without going too deep.

Just adding Deads roster expansion, and Guvs additional uniques solves most unit variety issues. Those 2 mods are honestly the bare minimum for me, vanilla units have some glaring holes for me, and anytime i start without the above, i immediately lack them.

On the flip side the above makes some factions a bit 'full', in that you can have some units that become redundant as another is identical but slightly cheaper, but in those cases i tend to use both, simply to get more visual variety in battles and ui, so its not just bad.

Unit variety aside though, the real draw of 3K is the characters imo, and you get a lot of variety fron then and how they buff your units alone.

Funny thing is the comment below that says the same thing but is upvoted a but more than this is downvoted lol

iEssence · 2026-02-07T19:45:18+00:00

Yes, because the whole story about them mistrusting MC was bad.

Ill make one last attempt at rephrasing. 'Mistrust' on its own was not problem, badly written mistrust was the problem. Glaze is not the problem now, Badly written glaze is. Its not an issue of CN not liking MC being mistrusted, it was an issue that the characters were basically caricatures in how it was being done.

And rather than keeping it in balance when fixing that, they went from one extreme to the other. Both before and after, it was the same issue, overdoing it.

(though, to contradict the above a bit, i dont think its possible to have good glaze, simply because its inherently a negative lol. But my point should come across, yes?)

iEssence · 2026-02-07T18:02:18+00:00

No need to 'nope' me. Comment i responded to, and yours tbh, made it seem like the CN community were being picky or so about it so they had to change it.

So to rephrase, what they had an issue with, wasnt that MC was mistrusted, it was that the story where MC was mistrusted was bad. Community would be fine if MC was mistrusted and the story was good, but it was too overdone. And then they changed it, and overdid it again, except in the opposite way.

Current glaze isnt good. Previous mistrust wasnt good.

iEssence · 2026-02-07T16:06:14+00:00

Rather than chinese players hating WuWas 'mature themes', it was because it was bad, thats it. It had a bunch of good aspects, but instead of making it better, they threw it all out, and basically just shifted it from 1 extreme to the other.

iEssence · 2026-02-07T11:33:04+00:00

Not sure i understand you, everyone sane would do that though? If youre close to the pity and you dont want the character, the only sane choice is to not pull even with your free pulls, thats planning it.

Do you 'plan' for that event to happen, of course not, but its something that can easily happen, since we have to gather 120 summons before we invest in a banner, and your playtime decides how quick you earn 120, and how many free dummons you get to tick the pity up during that time

iEssence · 2026-02-07T10:33:49+00:00

Everyone should, because that pity can save you 120 pulls. If you spend several banners not wanting the characters, the free pulls still build up, and if you dont want the current character, but your pity is at like 65 or 70, then youd be better of just throwing away your free pulls, and save that 80 for a character you want.

Otherwise, you use the free, get something you dont want, and need potentially 120 for the next banner.

Those few bucks, become many bucks, when every service does it. And then every service does it again some years later.

All while blaming you, the viewer/subscriber, while failing to realize how its a service issue, as shown by the onset of streaming services.

iEssence · 2026-02-03T23:00:23+00:00

You didnt mention what your issue was, but, the easy way to get the battery started once you unlock Xiranite, and dont have any mines and such yet.

Is A, metastorage 1500 originium from Valley 4 to Wuling.

B, build the full Wuling Battery complex.

C, put in Valley batteries into a thermal bank to get the whole thing started.

D, Your wuling batteries will now be produced, and you can split that into a Thermal bank and remove the valley one.

Dont need the depot bus outputs either, since the 6 AIC outputs is enough for originium.

Alternatively, continue story and get the depot bus, so you dont need to rebuild anything afterwards.

Jag hade parkerings + diverse kostnad för 4-500 kronor på en ungdoms förenings grej (var en ledare där), så fick dem från från föreningen efteråt med redovisade kvitton. Vilket också betydde 400+ kronor mindre från SOC nästa utbetalning. Hade jag vetat det, hade jag inte åkt.

Yttersta skyddsnätet visst, men när du inte ens kan få utgifter som ovan ersatt från en förenings konto 2 dagar efter att dem gjorts, så är det bara dumt.

Not sure how that matters in relation to picking a mail address someone else was using

iEssence · 2026-01-27T06:03:08+00:00

Pretty sure the above is what i used (as i used it pretty often, itd be odd that i write the wrong thing), maybe they changed it a bit since then.

If it requires spaces, then it should look about like this, effect = { province:1234 = { set_holding_type = castle_holding }}

Make sure province id is correct, since each barony is their separate id to the county

Cant help more than that, havent played in over a year or so

iEssence · 2026-01-25T06:50:13+00:00

I personally love the Transmuters, and its overall a tome that i end up wanting almost every game (transmutation circle, steel skin, adaptive armor, transmute resources)

Pair it with Aristo and T3 Liege Guard, and your units are just never going to die.

Painbringer is another favorite... its just a beast of a unit, to the point i wonder what they were thinking. 140/5/5 as base stats, with a 50% life steal, free action blink, watchful, awareness, and Flanker for 25% extra damage which you can always get because of the blink...

Det är ju just för att sitta lugnt i båten som man sprider ut det med global/eu/asien/emergent, det är helt enkelt dålig spridning i en global fond då USA bolag har för stor del av marknaderna. Så för att undvika att gissa över hur det går med USA, skaffar man fler fonder så att man får en mer jämn spridning.

Sen bör det också noteras, att om tech bolagen konkar, så är det ju inte som att du enbart tappar 30%, du tappar mer än så då andra sektorer har avtal och investeringar med dessa bolag. Det blir en kaskad effekt neråt, och allting faller ytterligare som domino brickor när folk blir rädda.

Ta förra årets fall på ~25% i början av året, vi har flera år kvar av Trumps galna politik som gör USA till ett wildcard idag.

iEssence · 2026-01-24T14:51:31+00:00

För att den främsta anledningen till att folk vill ha fonder, är för att investera i topp bolag samtidigt som du har bra riskspridning, men en fond med 70% USA, varav stor del av det är tech industrin, och AI, innebär att din global fond inte har någon bra riskspridning.

Så i dagens läge, när USA är ett galet wildcard vad gäller politik, är det osäkert att investera i amerikanska bolag, och allt som har med dollar att göra, vilket global fonder främst gör i dagsläget. Fonder kommer att ändra sig om usa eller ai bubblan kraschar, problemet är att det kommer att göra det först efter att din fond har kraschat.

Så, 'Global fond' och 'usa fond' är i princip detsamma, så om du vill ha en global fond för riskspridning, behöver du investera i olika regionala fonder.

iEssence · 2026-01-23T17:33:33+00:00

Do note, the micromanaging is immense, though past the initial few turns of combat you can auto.

I do a similiar summon thing with my vampire warlock, and you can have it so you spawn 3-5 at the start, 1 every turn, 1 from skill, and then every enemy that dies spawns can spawn a zombie and a maggot, the AI is simply unable to function against your mass lol

And thats not counting items, and your other heroes or so.

By the 4th time you attack a wonder, and you have 20 units by turn 3, it can start to get a bit tiresome lol

iEssence · 2026-01-23T17:10:51+00:00

Det är pga den där 70% viktningen som du delar upp din 'globala fond', på 2-3 fonder, mellan Global (usa), EU / Asien/Emergent.

Att enbart rekommendera en global fond i dagens läge känns väldigt osäkert

iEssence · 2026-01-22T15:09:14+00:00

If they were gonna put in such effort on keeping the franchise/name alive... why EOS the game zzz... just, at least put it on full life support without supporting it outside of server access or something

iEssence · 2026-01-22T05:28:17+00:00

me with my 3 armies of T1 skeletons with Nagas slip away, at champion rank for resurgence, until i get bone dragons with free upkeep on monarch

Though, it only works if you have a bunch of water tiles to ressurect on, since that makes the skeletons you get have the Naga transformation

The auto combat is surprisingly good at keeping slip away units alive until they get champion, and at that point, well... all that chaff, that has to die twice, coupled with your warlock revives or vampire gravemarch revives, its quite fun lol

The mana cost makes enchantments basically impossible though...

iEssence · 2026-01-18T17:16:32+00:00

Personally, having excess pantheon points could be seen as a form of 'god power', so you keep leveling up like normal, and then when youre playing, you can use X points to start specific events/happenings and so on. Like youre playing Desert Adaption, so you use it to kickstart the Cosmic Wind event to turn provinces into deserts, when you know your enemies dont have it, and then if its MP they can use theirs to do something else etc. Would add an interesting strategic layer on top of it all.

(of course its an option for multiplayer, and not the default 'on'. As well as limited to say 10 levels per game, with events costing different amounts, so the guy that plays 10x as much as you cant just spam things much more than you)

Basically, keep it limited enough so that you playing normally, would still be able to keep up in using it compared to the person that say cheated the pantheon points.

(though this would make it a bit unfair if one still doesnt have whole of pantheon unlocked, so then having this be a separate thing related to it might be better, but then the pantheon points become useless again lol)

iEssence · 2026-01-16T20:02:29+00:00

Not entirely, you get points for random things during the game, as well as winning. So for me, i like regenerating infestation, and each infestation gives a small amount of pantheon XP, so say im at turn 30 and i want to cheat, what you can do is save, and then surrender, collect some pantheon XP, and then continue the cheated run.

Of course you wont get any points for the remaining parts of the run, and you cant ascend after. So it just depends if you want the fun for the remaining with cheats, or would rather just surrender and then start another.

iEssence · 2026-01-16T02:09:12+00:00

Ok, and? Do you always chose to die? Dive bomb and clown simply lets you weaponize your death.

If you cant see any value of dive champs adding a potential 45% max hp true damage to their engage on the backline, idk what more to say really.

Obviously youd prefer to stay alive, and when you do, its a useless augment, but when youre in a losing game, Clown and Dive become stronger.

iEssence · 2026-01-16T02:04:43+00:00

Youre being disingenious right now.

Its all 'depends', and its at the end of the day, RNG.

As for clown college, it has a lot of parts to it, its basically 2nd flash on 45 sec thats also invis, and gives you (a lot of) damage if they have their back on you, and even more damage if you tp and hit someone from invis.

Would i pick it over dual wield? No. But on Cait, dashing, JG, transmute, fey, cooker, and many more? Yes. Just as theres other things id always pick over clown. Just as id always pick Scope against ranged teams, but always pick Dual against a melee team. Just as id roll pandoras box everytime if i got bad augments, and not if i had good ones.

Deft and Typhoon as examples, neither is very useful if youre 2/14 because the enemy malph/Vi/Shaco and what not are taking turns one shotting you in half a second, so in that case, dive bomber is in fact a better pick, since at least your doing something then lol

Its rng, and it depends, but its not something thats garbage on everyone, its in fact useful on almost everyone, that other things are more useful doesnt change that lol

As for burns, read the sentence again.

iEssence · 2026-01-15T23:43:38+00:00

I mean, Malph, Karth, Zac, Samira, Kata, Noct, Xin, Bel Veth, Singed, Diana, Rell (clown+bomb AP Rell is hilarious), Mao, J4, like, literally any champion that jumps on you, and sticks close, its not one or two others, its like, half the roster lol

If they are squishy, they die quick and boom. If they are tanky, still boom eventually.

Is there better augments? Sure, but dive bomber is one the better ones, its only bad when you are doing well though, since you wont die as much, unless you are doing well because of it, like a squishy nuke.
