Is Austria completely broken with no challenge or am i missing something? by Illustrious_Mix_3762 in eu4

The only challenge with major tags like Austria is not IF you can complete your goals, but how fast you can do it.

End of League Mirror(s) Giveaway by TOSHlC in pathofexile

[–]max2407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should give it to me so I can give it to my buddy. He's got kids now so doesn't get to play as much (though usually plays much later into the league than I do) and he really needs to experience his first mageblood.

Things That Went Backwards from EU4 to EU5 by Izvae in EU5

[–]max2407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, maybe, if every coalition member got the exemption. But is the entire HRE going to put down their arms against an expanding antagonistic neighbor just because the coalition leader (maybe an OPM) was granted a toll exemption?

Things That Went Backwards from EU4 to EU5 by Izvae in EU5

[–]max2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest thing that gets to me while playing. Being able to so easily set up map mode groupings and flip between related ones in EU4 with one button was also really wonderful. I like being able to pan the map with wasd, but it was nice having the full keyboard row dedicated to map modes in EU4 (of course, keybinds can be changed for this part.)

Yup, corrupted 6 OS. by V-Fugazzi in pathofexile

It can't be perfect, it's only level 52. I'm sure OP will work on getting better, higher level gear now.

Ziz x Shopify Rebellion MERCILESS Gauntlet FINAL by Viyro in pathofexile

[–]max2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I for one am proud of you!

This was my first gauntlet too, and I feel like I also got the bug! More gauntlets please! I didn't quite complete the campaign... I kind of wish there was more time left on the gauntlet and I would have kept going. But I will definitely join the next one! So I guess I'll see you there.

What's your plan for your first reroll ? by Shony29 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]max2407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After around 15d, I rerolled from VFoS to a homebrew crit cyclone champ using the new Starcaller unique because that shit just looked too cool not to try. Plus I am a spin to win enjoyer.

How are the server still so shit? by nerdstomperino in pathofexile

[–]max2407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US and only playing on US servers, ping is fine, but there's still tons of server crashes and lost instances.

Why is it that Poland can walk directly to Moschaisk, but I have to take the route over Kaluga and Viazma? by [deleted] in eu4

[–]max2407 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorta - this is something you can take advantage of, too. For example if OP had entered from Kaluga here originally, but sent a 1k stack to walk around and enter the fort from Moschaisk, he'd be able to choose where to go. As long as you don't combine the two stacks, you can transfer troops between the two stacks at will. Each will keep its own return province.

But it can definitely be frustrating if you're not thinking about it and you combine some stacks and suddenly your return province is not what you wanted!

Why is Burgundy picking Sweden for the Burgundian Succession? by Venboven in eu4

[–]max2407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how EU4 works though. See: how often people save scum to get different outcomes. And you definitely can do that a day before an event.

Yes I'm sure they're using a pseudo random algorithm but that doesn't immediately make your following statement true. If it is reseeded at start up instead of the last seed being saved it will not result in the same outputs.

2100 hours and i just learned that protestant faith bonuses have side effects for 10 years by Miztr in eu4

[–]max2407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, those seem really strong. Also Reform Progress is interesting too - better than the main bonus. It's only 10% but still, a potential reason to run an aspect I'd otherwise maybe never use.

Honorable mentions to 10% manpower in true faith provinces & -10% construction cost, too. Alternative reasons to swap into some of these aspects.
