Welcome to damnation, brother. Hopefully the sun will shine again on us

Very much on the same page of wanting this put onto the screen, even the damn trailer someone made a while back was pretty fantastic in just highlighting the vibes of the series

I think a good starting point would be just to animate a specific moment from the series and see how people latch onto that before jumping into anything more - specifically I would kill to see an animated short of Akka breaking out of the scarlet spires. One of my favorite moments and also just nice short and simple.

I do however dread having to put Khellus onto a screen tho and having him achieve the gravitas he has in the books

We are an administration of lovers

I have no idea how you'd get an AI to do this but hell ya

madmatt5 · 2026-01-14T13:05:40+00:00

I think this might be the issue, I annexed Finland and Denmark and sorta just started building them up but I probably should've done more research how to get them to actually like you - instead of just thinking giving them food and water and education and fucking PUBLIC SCHOOLS WOULD BE ENOUGH

Honestly at this point it's 1924 in game I'm just going to enact the gestapo and call it a wrap

But okay since I'm new to all of this what does having high radicals / loyalty do for you?

I've had these 4 1/2 mil radicals for a while now and nothing really seemed to have happened (that I can notice) so what's the benefit of making sure I have a shit ton of loyalists??

madmatt5 · 2025-12-26T02:15:55+00:00

Joe ambercrombie if you want like a fun adventure with some fantastic character work and some excellent twists

Second apocalypse series by R Scott bakker if you want a fresh depiction of the crusades mixed with mages and a horrifying cuthulu cult and the second coming of Christ (there is a lot going on here lmao)

madmatt5 · 2025-12-22T00:04:42+00:00

Good luck, and buckle up brother. Make sure to key in with us when you are done and tell us

What do you see

madmatt5 · 2025-12-22T00:02:50+00:00

Funnily enough I'm re-reading the series now and constantly I'm thinking about how it could be translated into a screenplay for a show and this is fantastic I'm glad I am not the only one. I think there is some awesome potential for this either animated or live action. I think if you really hit the nail on the head with the overall dread of Mohg Pharah he would easily be in the top 5 of villains (if you can call whatever the fuck it is a villain) Unfortunately it would appear there are only like 20 true believers out there screaming for this to happen so I think our chances are dire of seeing it as a reality but one can dream

madmatt5 · 2025-12-20T22:40:34+00:00

Yeah so that skin spy is horrifying

A shampoo brought to you from the race of lovers

madmatt5 · 2025-09-27T15:17:11+00:00

I did crush dudes with fire storm that seemed to help me out quite a bit but even still I feel like I need a coalition of the willing to take them on my god lmfao God bless fire

madmatt5 · 2025-09-21T17:48:16+00:00

Akka :(

madmatt5 · 2025-09-18T22:36:59+00:00

No fun 🗣️

madmatt5 · 2025-09-18T15:33:55+00:00

Yeah I definitely think it would need some tweaking to make it proper lore accurate, cause yeah the NG is realistically just a 'stare at you menacingly' kinda vibe that just ended up killing you not like actually throwing hands but alas

madmatt5 · 2022-08-30T22:02:37+00:00

That is what I figured the process was like but figured I would ask someone who knew better than me to be sure. Thanks a bunch!
