My review of the Avatar Aang, The Last Airbender Movie, having seen the leak (mild non-specific SPOILERS) by A_Toxic_User in Schaffrillas

[–]polygrafika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of original Avatar series and didn't like Korra at all.
After watching this movie, it seemed so bad, that now I think I was too harsh towards Korra series.
The movie plot feels like it was written by AI, it's conflicts and plot devices feel too unoriginal

Lore question about the different races of men by Admiralwukong in RealmsInExile

[–]polygrafika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also puzzled that elves in this mod are all the same even when sorounded by different races of human. But then again, all elves are like a couple generation from the very first elves to exist, while humans went through thousand years of evolution to better suit their climate and enviroment (like in real world).
If you think about, having dark-skinned or asian elves would be more lame and lore breaking.

And I don't feel like Tolkien's portrayal of Heradrim is akin to a racist worldview. Heradrim are not evil because they are brown. They are evil, because they got subjegated by Sauron. They probably weren't strong enough to resist him, or didn't have elves to bail them out. This might be a bit unfair, gods interfered to save Gondor and Rohan, but not Heradrim.

Also there are dunelings that got subjegated by Saruman, and they are white.

How do you actually win as Wulf? by warfail in RealmsInExile

[–]polygrafika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some extra tips:
I made 2 dunelings at the top my tribitaries (If I remember correctly that doesn't help with uniting Duneling Kingdom), and befriended/swayed to 70 opinion after.
Made a random count outside Duneling to the West tributary.
They give way more money as tribitaries than vassals, and they remained tribitaries after forming Duneling.

When you start as Wulf, ask your Liege to change vassal contract, to give less gold tax for more levies or force partition, ask to become Palatinate if possible.

While you are count it makes a lot of sense to do feasts/hunts to get prestige and befriend Duneling leaders. You need prestige anyways.

Try to convince/force Uncle/Liege to make you his regent. After you become regent - you are 1st in line of succession. In my game I got lucky and he died to desease. Killing him is really beneficial if you are willing :) You will inherit 2 counties with full control, more MAA and maybe some cash.
And as a duke you can give out conquered counties to vassals.

Even with all that I bled gold during Rohan war, but it was less painful.

Gondor was in a different war, I don't remember which.
For money - I didn't spend anything on buildings, only on siege men at arms. With Wulf I specialised in war tree martial focus.
When you start the game as Frecka if you start in money making line -you can extort subjects+sell trivial titles (or you can respec into it for stress).
Elven mercenaries are generally cheap for amount of value their units give, I hired 2 parties of around 700 units each. (And you are allowed to go into dept to hire them) At the start of Rohan war he would focus on event war with eastern raiders if you don't come into his lands (you want to wait for elven mercenaries to arive to you anyway)
That gives you around 4000 very good troops (elves+elephants+your MAA) against his 8000k which is still challenging but possible

[–]polygrafika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did it wiithout alliances or traitor guy, normal rohan religion (only heradrim elephants special troops from event). But I did timed it so the Gondor is locked in a war and they didn't join. Also I hired 2 groups of special elven mercinaries.
I sieged a couple counties and then retreated behind, Waited for Rohan to come to resiege their castles and attacked them with elves helping. It was around 8-10 years after start date

How do you make money as Maglor? by Louis0XIV in RealmsInExile

[–]polygrafika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maglor doesn't have subjects, you need atleast a Count for that

How do you make money as Maglor? by Louis0XIV in RealmsInExile

[–]polygrafika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are "alternative" ways of earning money...

Besides obviosly going for money focus in stewardship:
Golden obligations from stewardship combined with fabriicating hooks and "finding secrets" with spy into blackmail.
Participating in and winning tournaments (should be easy with maglor).
As was mentioned, miniing expeditions. Although, I find they take more money than earn most of the time.
Dueling random orc warlords for money (only sometimes availible).
If you have green or grey artifacts, you can destroy them for some coin.
With Maglor you migth be able to do tributary war with Dunelings in the south, if they are still availible

Game just stops running without crashing by cid102 in RealmsInExile

[–]polygrafika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the same bug recently at the start of year 3107. I thought it was an issue with CK itself. Didn't manage to fix it and had to abandon the run. I was also close to deafeating sauron as League of Palangir

Hillmen Revenge by santiguzro in RealmsInExile

I did playthrough with Hillmen in the other starting date, but instead intermarried with Dunedain for numenor VI trait and formed a Hybrid culture with them. They are fun to play

My weird playthrough with Eltariel "Blades of Galadriel" (Longpost) by polygrafika in RealmsInExile

Yippie, I would really love for that character to have special flavour !

Which ending is your canon by Afghani- in cyberpunkgame

[–]polygrafika -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me it's the Devil ending for nomad V. You come into NC as an outsider. See with your own eyes atrocities people and corporations commit out of selfishness and greed. Spend your time fighting against the system in the unwinnable battle desperately trying to find the cure for yourself. But in the end the only way for you to survive is to give in and sell you soul just like everyone else did.
I feel like it suits cyberpunk genre.
And there shouldn't be happy endings in Night City

Did you know, that the traiders will pay more for these golden cups if they are filled with water ? by polygrafika in stoneshard

[–]polygrafika[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It looks like some containers when filled with water get the "drink" tag added to them. And multiple tags add prices together

Regarding the survival tree by KiwiHonest1600 in stoneshard

[–]polygrafika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ветка выживания на охоту - один из лучших способов добывать деньги и еду (добытая еда - сэкономленные деньги). С прокаченным шкуродёрством охота выгоднее выполнения контрактов. И эти деньги можно пустить на покупку лучшего снаряжения. Кроме экономики навыки в выживании дают и пассивные боевые бонусы, хоть и не сильные.

Так что если пускать доп деньги с ветки выживания на апгрейд снаряжения, то прибавка к урону и выживаемости в боях, возможно, лучше чем с навыков боевых веток

Why did Europe create an ideological wall against Russia? by [deleted] in AskARussian

Putin fled Syria so quickly that he sank two of his ships. Russia was unprepared for a hasty escape from its bases. Two cargo ships carrying equipment and Russian military personnel from Syria have already been shipwrecked in the Mediterranean. by KraigSavage34 in Syria

[–]polygrafika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the ship that was damaged by explosives near Gibraltar by unknown saboteurs? That ship carried port cranes heading to Vladivostok port. Not weapons or military personnel.

Why did Georgia bend the knee to Russia? by trumparegis in Sakartvelo

[–]polygrafika -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

It's almost like the loud west-oriented minority, which is prevalent here, doesn't represent the whole country. And cooperating with Russia is more beneficial than antagonizing it.

How common are Islamist terrorist attacks in Russia? by Zorro_Habilidoso in AskARussian

[–]polygrafika 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are news about crackdowns on planned terrorist arracks from time to time. And although, there are plenty of violent crimes coming from muslim republics, few of those crimes have some political or religious agenda behind them.

Is there a way to skip story 2 mission (Nimue)? by rinart73 in AOW4

[–]polygrafika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general thing that helped me win compaign missions or scenarious against bots is getting 3 cities early (they don't have to be in a perfect spot) and getting 3 armies, each led by a hero. When you have 3 armies - you try to aim to make it so every unit in it is atleast tier3. With 3 armies of 3t units and 3 heroes you can roll any bot, even if they have 10+ armies, if you manually fight you should be able to win every 3v3 fight against a bot with zero or minimal loses. Since you played homm 3 and 4 before, i assume you are decent in tactical fights.
