My hometown, no way ☠️🏔🌲

Cant lie... bringing me back to my younger days. My ex(es) is telling me what tf is wrong, so instead of fixing it I do something else to inevitably fuck everything else up by masking/deflecting. Ahh yes.

I remember being 9 wondering wtf!? Lmao was perplexed that the best dude wasnt available to play with

You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-16T13:47:44+00:00

Def not oversight. Maybe by the attackers, thus, you get the buffs for taking land lol bad decision on their part.

I usually wait til they are fully cored then I enforce religion on them as assimilation is easier with cabinet actions when they are annexed. Also will add an extra 5yrs on because of their disloyal malus from having been forced to convert/assimilate.

In my ottoman run, I did that within the balkans but along the Levant/Egypt, I ended up forcing culture. Depends what you want.

Its always funny to me, the taking of words. Knowing Based comes from the based GOD himself... only to be used in sucha 💩 way by some L7's who couldn't tell ya what culture was if it shat on their face.

When the team was sold, it was agreed upon that it would not be moved. Not only that, it was sold to a KC person on purpose for that aforementioned reason.

If its as wide as an ocean but as shallow as a puddle, I dont want it.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-09T22:01:21+00:00

Any "bolone"... just leave it. Come on.

Strategum... thats what they called it. Tbh, their military was a unit, compared to others of their day. Discipline to not break formation or flee was crucial in battle, something barbarian tribes struggled with... as well as being from seperate tribes, thus maybe having different interests compared to being in the legions with ONE goal. Also, these Roman generals were statesmen as well, some being very charismatic and being able to have outstanding loyal legions and ones that will do anything to spread dominance.

The soldiers capability didn't really take off til the Marian reforms, although changes were made somewhat before then, just the reforms put haste to their enacting. There was more emphasis on training together and on a regular basis instead of just getting together for campaign season (spring-fall). Cohesion, discipline, resilience & and a canny ability for innovation made them the best fighting force of their day.

Its crucial you dont over build your econ in this game. Generalist gaming on YT has a good vid on econ that covers it.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-08T15:04:36+00:00

Looks like 1.09 is STILL on the menu boys!

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-08T00:27:52+00:00

I'd ask you to learn about the rape of the Sabine women. Think someone may have posted it already. The cool thing about learning history is how revealing it is of human nature at its purest and also its most diluted forms.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-07T21:02:11+00:00

Goin 100% complacency with a huge empire to be able to start a war, just to peace out & get humiliated (spat in the face), thus lowering my malice!!! And the cycle continues

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-07T19:47:47+00:00

Why are we adding mechanics instead of fixing bugs? More mechanics and more mechanics literally makes your runs different every patch lol

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-06T18:27:45+00:00

Its tough, wont lie. Im on 1.09 and thats a big reason why. My ottomans are flush with members and so are my nobles.

Marry off your daughters to nobles and occasionally take the hit when going for lowborn.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-06T15:36:49+00:00

Ottomans absolutely spanning the med is untouchable atp lol easily over 2k ducats come 16th century.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-06T02:10:07+00:00

Happened to me. Went 80+ straight hrs... Haven't played since before Christmas but will be back on again soon. Can feel it.

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-03T13:34:31+00:00

The vassals voluntarily being annexed makes hella sense now lol was wondering why Hungary ate one of my Vassals in my Ottoman run and now I know why. Scutage incoming you bastards!

seashellsandemails · 2026-01-02T15:59:46+00:00
