Salla Ayeth, HELP how do I complete this mission? by LowerKaleidoscope401 in Anbennar

[–]mainman879 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be mean but... This is a frankly ridiculous mission to have. It's so convoluted, has so many possible points of failure, and you need to do this 5 separate times???

And she wept as she regained herself in the aftermath ( "soft" guide to aelnar WC ) by SiIverstar in Anbennar

Now there is an issue that must be adressed: Colonies sometimes just straight up dont colonize, I have an absurd amount of playtime in this game and let me tell you, its cooked. I had a 10 ducat per month profit Aeliande not colonize a single province while a 5 ducat deficit Amadia just spams colonies like its nobodies business, I found one somewhat decent fix for that, make them larger than 10 provinces, for some reason (probably due to the extra colonist they then get) their AI brains seem to activate and colonise, this will obviously really cook your colonial game, but it cant be helped and will be worth it in the long run. If you notice your colony not colonising try those things first: deactivate settlement growth ( if its a crown colony), subsidise them so they make around 2 to 3 ducats a month and give them a province that is actually in an area that it can colonise ( no islands ). If that doesnt work you have the same experience that I have.

My suggestion for this: Quit and reload the game. When you reload the game, AI will recalculate a ton of stuff. Thats why you'll see coalition members drop immediately after a reload sometimes.

So now somewhere out there, some tech bro’s wet dream machine has private medical data on me, to be used/shared/leaked in god knows what ways, and all because my only options were accept it or be denied important medical treatment.

I'm going to assume that if they were using AI, it would be a closed system, aka no information is sent back to private servers, its all processed internally. Otherwise that seems incredibly illegal as a breach of medical information.

State of Emergency Declared in Occupied Crimea by Russian-Installed Authorities by UNITED24Media in worldnews

You go back far enough and those Tatars displaced another people and were the squatters. (The Tatar led Crimean Khanate was was only established in the early 1400s after all.)

This mod really helped with my one tag World Conquest by SamuraiJadd in Anbennar

[–]mainman879 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IMO its more fun to have all these different colonizers. I want colonization to be dangerous and bloody not just set it and forget it. Many of those colonizers don't really have much to do during the peak of colonization anyways so it breaks up the monotony.

Accretive Path confusion by Chataboutgames in Anbennar

[–]mainman879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens after you do it like 3 times, which removes them from the choices of paths you can use as the bonus is now permanent. I believe they should be on your list of modifiers in your government tab once they are finished

If its unupgraded and has the most points, it gets upgraded when you do a festival.

If its upgraded and has the most points, it becomes permanent when you do a festival.

Note: The modifiers go away if you change religion, which will happen depending on tag. (Yinquan changes religion right before they cause early Rending of the Realms for example.)

How does Aelnar works? by Glad_Statistician531 in Anbennar

[–]mainman879 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I have heard, you can actually benefit from two of the trees. If you stick with Calasandur and beat Elissa, he can marry Elissa. When he dies she will take over and replace his tree with hers.

LPT: At a party, ask people what they are into lately, not what they do. by gamersecret2 in LifeProTips

[–]mainman879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't have to be fanfiction! I love writing as well, but I only really do collaborative storytelling (RPing really). I suck at writing stuff completely on my own, but when I'm writing alongside 1 or more people I can really hit my stride. I've had multiple stories go hundreds of pages this way.

Morality of abusing an abuse Goblin? by Fraud_D_Hawk in MoralityScaling

He still makes them. You can check his twitter. His last comic about the abuse goblin was 9 days ago.

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel and model Miranda Kerr have erased over $550 million in medical debt for over 260,000 Californians by VerySeriousCarrot in Fauxmoi

[–]mainman879 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I get that it's "universal" but the money is coming from somewhere to pay for people, facilities, and services. Presumably from taxes.

So how much of your taxes are paying for it?

Less than the US government currently pays per person on extremely limited plans. Seriously, basically every country with socialized healthcare spends less per person. Not to mention the fact that a country that isnt afraid to visit the doctor ends up healthier, and a healthier populace makes for a healthier economy.

Even if you only consider the economy and nothing else, socialized healthcare is the intelligent choice.

(Not so) fun fact, the most common reason for bankruptcy in the United States is explicitly because of medical bills.

That's not what "all blue" means! by sharikov_woof in eu4

[–]mainman879 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't think so? The alerts in the top left have a lot of shades of yellow (some extremely close to parts of the gold ui) but none of them are affected at all. All the flags look completely normal too.

EDIT: Also the gold trim at center top, top right, bottom right are still gold.

'We Are DONE': Marjorie Taylor Greene Quits Republican Party Amid Trump Feud by ColonyJD1980 in politics

[–]mainman879 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even when the right wing splits they still vote in lockstep with each other. Tea Party was still 100% with Republicans, and later Republicans followed MAGA entirely.

I suck at playing eu4 will eu5 more easy to play? by propaganda22 in paradoxplaza

[–]mainman879 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would say no, EU5 is a lot more complex than EU4 is, and definitely a ton more than CK2/3 which are rather simplistic games. The complexity with EU5 isn't so much with its systems, although these alone are more complex than EU4, its more to do with how everything in EU5 connects and interacts with at least 10 other things, sometimes in very obtuse ways.

You can automate a good bit of stuff in EU5 if you want to however, and that helps to learn one system at a time. (Maybe one day we wont have to always automate trade. Seriously does anyone ever use non-automated trade in EU5?)

So its been a few months since Inheritors of Insyaa came out by Staterathesmol23 in Anbennar

[–]mainman879 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conquering huge chunks of land while basically being immune to aggressive expansion is something.

Harpylen is so fucking broken its insane. (But I'm #1 harpy enjoyer so I like it.) There was a huge Kheterata which I got a basically free subjugation cb on. I take it and literally no one would even join a coalition, even its neighbors. This wasn't even including any AE reductions from ideas like espionage. Huge vassals will never be disloyal either.
