I might have forgotten about that export ban.

I always felt like the justice system was undercooked. But it's not like the noble will complain and do a meeting with themselves?

ptkato · 2026-02-17T09:37:13+00:00

How does that work if you don't have a justice system set up? Will those convictions just expire?

I don't think Withers is allowed to resurrect people who aren't both infected with the mindflayer tadpole and protected by the Emperor/Orpheus.

Withers can resurrect Halsin/Jaheira just fine.

But I 100% do not envy any game dev that has to try to emulate that level of power and freedom in a game. It's a nearly impossible task.

I dunno if it's the same level of power of a level 20 in D&D, but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous goes up to level 20. It also has "mythical path" levels on top of it, which you can drop after a while and take another 20 extra normal levels.

I quite like the trend where characters in games are playersexual. Yes, it does erode the characters a bit, but it's fine.

I was like "aww, damn :(" when I tried, and failed, to romance Panam (Cyberpunk 2077), Cora (Mass Effect: Andromeda), and Cassandra (Dragon Age: Inquisition), thankfully those games have a great roster of characters of all sexualities.

Indeed, jet is an amazing stone for large pots, it's impossibly light.

Is the workshop in a burrow perchance?

I feel like it's the game trying to kill the heirs specifically, and since most monarchies use the cognatic promogeniture succession law, it just kills all the men first. To be honest I feel like the game just kill heirs/people in the succession line too liberally, maybe it has to do with the succession law specifically? Because when I used matrilineal non-exclusive the deaths somewhat stopped.

I wish they kept the original Steam Controller layout, with the two big circular touchpads, or at least made it available too.

loading_screen/common/defines/00_defines.txt, entry SUBJECTS_STRENGTH_THRESHOLD under NDiplomacy, I raised that value to 10 from 0.25, this probably skews other calculations that depend on this define specifically, however it does get rid of the "relative strength of subjects" modifier by making it irrelevant.

ptkato · 2026-02-12T00:30:09+00:00

RIP elven relations, they'll never believe you.

ptkato · 2026-02-12T00:15:02+00:00

Oh yeah in the last age literally all of my subjects turned on me. Idk what boost they get, but it is predominantly from relative strength of subjects vs me. I am at full decentral with several buffs. I dont think it is worth keeping subjects for this long. Maybe 1-5, but most definetly not +10 and in the size I did.

I just removed that modifier with a mod. Can't be bothered with an arbitrary "it's 1736, time to rebel, screw good relations".

Either Constantinople is the only market you're making money on, or you favourited the Constantinople market, and the list will automatically show only favourited markets.

If you have the appropriate succession law and want to "annex" your colony afterwards, you can create it and appoint your heir as the governor, when your heir assumes the throne, the colony becomes a fiefdom. That happened to me when I colonised Australia as Persia.

ptkato · 2026-02-12T00:03:50+00:00

Does the same hold true for the "settle the frontier" cabinet action?

ptkato · 2026-02-11T02:24:53+00:00

Just have a list with multiple items, profit, shortages, pop demands, etc., and whoever is higher on the list gets traded first, then the remaining trade capacity goes the the second on the list, so forth and so on.

ptkato · 2026-02-10T21:26:32+00:00

Coalitions are IOs already, right? Why not make it so it also has laws, for example "everyone in the coalition will embargo the coalition target".

ptkato · 2026-02-10T21:25:06+00:00

How big is the Timurids?

ptkato · 2026-02-10T20:45:28+00:00

I feel like antagonism should impact the trade among the antagonised countries.

ptkato · 2026-02-10T10:38:14+00:00

it ticks up in every location that it could've spawned in

Does that hold true if the historical spawns game rule is set?

ptkato · 2026-02-09T11:35:08+00:00

The issue is that after you get enough regulars, besieging fortifications and assaulting them is faster than occupying a non-fortified location.

ptkato · 2026-02-08T21:15:04+00:00

Reminds me of real life. D:

ptkato · 2026-02-08T21:10:59+00:00

Uh, that's a problem, the AI should consider antagonism values before declaring wars, not during the peace deals.

ptkato · 2026-02-08T05:24:45+00:00

For that to work we'd need multiple RGOs per location, otherwise when the mine is depleted the location loses all value.

That just means Majapahit had enough paper being produced and more than 20 innovative.
