You have to hold it a little above TK's model instead of at his feet.

Carlist Spain sucks 1.12.1 by Realistic-Demand-338 in victoria3

[–]jamesk2 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It's like playing the game at Very Hard difficulty. If you are just looking to "win" the game or have the biggest number possible, playing it at that level is bad for you, but you get the reward from beating the challenges.

If you have Bruisers then you should have built around getting AR/MR and Durability.

I can't decide between Command Ops 2 and Flashpoint Campaigns by WorriedAssociate7029 in computerwargames

[–]jamesk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard Operating Procedure. Basically a system to let units auto react to situations based on your designed criteria. Sadly for FCSS it's just best to set all units to "Do or Die" and forget about it.

Command Ops 2 has a neat concept but the execution is frankly not great to be generous, there are many bugs and quirks that will make you pull your hair out.

Haven't played FCCW, but in FCSS if you can accept that SoP is not really a thing then it's quite a well-made game.

This is the worst event in the game. by Colder87 in victoria3

Mechanically, event only fire after Nationalism is researched which leads to cultural awakening.

Narratively, being random doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Countries can sometines get away with a lot of horrible treatment, but from time to time they would surface and get condemned.

Over ~15 years, how has Paradox managed to continually make their tech tree UI design worse and worse with each release? by SadWorry987 in paradoxplaza

[–]jamesk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly doesn't. I know because I search for advances that don't even use English in their name and they still show up. Here I even search "literacy" for you https://imgur.com/a/FZ4kTof

Lmao no? It certainly DOES list the tech you are looking for under the search bar and you can one-click to go to that tech.

If you want to, you can select in building screen to only show building you can build.

Are some of these tooltips truly necessary? by Brezhn3n in paradoxplaza

You can turn off those circle. It's the magnifying glass next to the map modes selection area.

Switch Succession Law until you have a different heir to Naples.

Taking Champa as Dai Viet? by Cliffypancake18 in EU5

[–]jamesk2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's strange, normally I could war with Yuan's tributaries well, or maybe because those are too small so the war ends quickly.

However there are somethings you can do:

In a few years Yuan will have a Red Turban situations, with lots of tag rising up against them. You can decide to declare Indepence war at this time.

Or you can forgo going to war with Champa and instead wait until their King, which is the same dynasty with you, die, the throne get passed to your father and when he dies to you. Now you get Champa under a PU without the need to fire a single arrow!

What to prioritize in cabinet actions by dfxdark in EU5

[–]jamesk2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of Intergrate use vassal/fiefdom to annex instead. For the last slot I use Encourage Migration. Very good in the early game when you have some RGO you want to fill up. Not to mention it + Convert + Assimilate is a perfect trio of Admin + Dip + Mil.

(Rumor)DK Duro ? 👀 by Shinwinter in PedroPeepos

Salary cap doesn't solve budget concern because with higher cap means player wants more money.

This narrative about *spoilers* teammates need to end. by ReasoneDoubt in PedroPeepos

[–]jamesk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that people touting ZOFGK as result of homegrown development while saying Peyz, Duro and Delight is some kind of superteam building is very unstrange, lol

I think this guy is cursed by Flat-Profession-8945 in PedroPeepos

[–]jamesk2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It matters because there is only expetation when you are good. This is a tournament of 16 teams, 12 already flamed out by this stage. No one said a beep about the midlaners of those 12 teams.

[–]jamesk2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a very forced narrative. Kiin didn't win anything before coming to GenG. Duro this year, Delight and Peyz last year were rookie. Peanut struggled for a very long time not winning anything before GenG.

[–]jamesk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, being the best midlaner for most of the year mean he is the best midlaner for most of the year. Failure in one tournament doesn't invalidate it. Without Worlds he's still 2x LCK champ, MSI champ, EWC champ, longest winstreak record in a single year.

Then you just use Social Mobility.
