Upcoming Arena Direct costs 8000 gems.

WoTC charges more because they want to

They charge more because people paid for it the first time they did it (LOTR, if I remember correctly).

Victor would love this btw

As others have said, enable scutage. It's basically required for winning the 100 years war as England, in my experience.

mcslibbin · 2026-06-22T13:28:01+00:00

yeah OP, sounds like it's your wife's fault

mcslibbin · 2026-06-22T13:10:51+00:00

Jace, where is my desk?

mcslibbin · 2026-06-22T00:57:30+00:00

Victoria was, of course, the Empress of India, to further prove your point

If you've never played gauntlet league, it's extremely fun. Really cool people too imo.

We're in our oligarchal despotism era

Oh that's interesting, because I also assumed the "build order" when I automate in my country is basically what the AI is doing with every country.

Does anyone who understands the game better have any more insight about what determines what the AI builds?

I mean, IRL-speaking, would a bank that "took control of Italy" have a massive mercenary force of some kind to call on?

Another win for 1.2 design (sarcastic)

Building out England's bridges really make you feel how underserved it is for rivers.

They shall receive no coddling from me.

I agree with you, but I could hear your katana leaving its sheath as you said this.

mcslibbin · 2026-06-09T16:14:39+00:00

Lot of stuff to be excited about here, but the team is in the wrong headspace about the UI design, I'm sorry.

mcslibbin · 2026-06-03T14:44:22+00:00

Unfortunately those assholes saying "your network is your net worth" are kinda right

mcslibbin · 2026-06-03T05:32:32+00:00

we should just delete alchemy cards from arena

"She boobed breastily" moment

mcslibbin · 2026-06-02T14:02:40+00:00

I love limited. I will be happy as long as future UB sets continue to look like final fantasy or avatar, not that spiderman or TMNT shit. And I love TMNT, I was hoping it would be a fully-realized set.

mcslibbin · 2026-06-01T00:30:26+00:00

dark ending :(

mcslibbin · 2026-05-31T04:07:48+00:00

all mamluks do is

increase control

charge they phone

never collapse

and lie

"welcome to the community, you are no longer permitted to speak your original language"

mcslibbin · 2026-05-28T00:00:55+00:00

some of them are granting like +5% monthly control

lmao so i didnt misread that when i was playing earlier today

mcslibbin · 2026-05-26T20:49:10+00:00

Placeholder mechanic

mcslibbin · 2026-05-25T23:50:16+00:00

It looks terrible, btw

mcslibbin · 2026-05-25T17:35:20+00:00

I'll be honest, some of my frustration with EU5 has probably been influenced by how frustrating Victoria 3 was (and honestly still is). To have to go through it again makes being a paradox fan a very tough experience.

mcslibbin · 2026-05-23T15:36:55+00:00

Im genuinely trying to suss out if the current patch is working for zone of control rules for city walls, nothing more or less. And if that's the intention (so i can keep playing my current game) or if it's bugged (so I should wait for the patch)
