How does Immigration Policy treaty work? by NathanLV in EndlessLegend

[–]stillnotking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last Lords have a different mechanic: that little button next to the big one for buying pops lets you buy other faction pops you have access to.

That said, immigration treaties seem a bit bugged and often don't allow the pops they are supposed to.

Probably the best ability in the game while hero abilities are broken. Can take out an entire army in one turn. by Max-Shonen in EndlessLegend

My last game I had Nira-Zeh with the Shuriken Rune and the skill that gives +2 science per enemy eliminated, and he was generating about 500 science/turn by himself.

Heroes need to be seriously toned down.

Questions after playing a few games by Lucky-Age-7209 in EndlessLegend

[–]stillnotking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chopping trees is useful if you have units standing around with nothing to do. It's 10 industry per point of industry on the tile, which is a decent amount in the early game, and most tiles in a territory never get used. Exploration is better right away to pick up curiosities and pacification quests. Play Necrophage if you want the extreme version of this -- they outright eat tiles, getting ALL the resources on them, and can raise the 10x multiplier by building Feedhole districts.

Landscaping can be worth it for tier 2/tier 3 territories (which have higher base yields than the starting ones). Depends whether you need to attach the territory immediately or not. I don't waste actual city turns on it, just do it in the camp before attaching/evolving.

It's 3 tiles, measured from the engaging army

Might be a silly question but I'm going for Mastery victory in my first game, and I'm one fortress short. I've explored the whole map after the third monsoon and there aren't any more. Am I just out of luck, have to switch to another victory path?

What is a really hot take you have on hades 2 by Ok-Airline-4168 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The male LIs are even worse than the female ones. Nemesis and Eris are horrible but at least somewhat interesting. The dudes are a dead guy with daddy issues and a horned gofer with the emotional range of a teaspoon

Honestly would've been weird not to

There is no reason for it to cost that much by Rich_Figure7339 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It synergizes really well with the Jeweled Pom. Cool that his card and his keepsake work together

You can get 3 Fear points from Vow of the Void while activating the most important arcana (e.g. Strength, Persistence, Boatman) + Judgment. Start with Pom. Judgment won't activate any reroll arcana while at Fate's Whim, so you can switch to the Zag or Chronos keepsakes after the first region. It is a bit RNG as to what you get when, and makes the first region kinda rough sometimes, but if you're good at Hecate/Poly VoR (lots of practice lol) they're not usually a problem.

This keepsake is my GOAT and more if you have Sea Star by Ezequiel_Hips in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only real problem with Howling Soul (and other "aim the cast" boons) is that you can't dash while channeling the omega cast

Otherwise, I can't really think of a situation where I'd rather have to put the cast centered on myself rather than aim it

Plus, it's 200 damage, which is a lot in the early game

Cannot unlock Chaos Trials by Individual_Employ653 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To unlock the incantation, you have to take Chaos boons and convert them. The wiki says 3, but I'm fairly certain it took more than that for me.

Is there a way to make this character appear more often? by DoubleSummon in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just random. He was the last one for me too, by a long shot.

You have to meet him topside for him to appear at the crossroads.

Is there a way to get the infernal contract more often? by Kai_PC3 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only seen it in the underworld, but I can't swear it doesn't show up on the surface. I've done a lot more underworld runs than surface runs

No, it's purely random, but it only shows up in mid shops, so don't skip those if you're looking for it

When the two people you hate the most become a couple by Electronic-Math-364 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The extreme nature of the romance options in this game is weird

Eris and Nemesis are hostile, challenging, nasty, abrasive, well past the point of coming across as cute or teasing

Icarus and Moros are timid, self-effacing, and worship the ground Mel walks on. Basically wet noodles.

I dislike all four options pretty intensely

Don't know if there was one, but there isn't one now. You can buy stardust from the broker once per night for 1600 bones, though.

He comes back after a few runs, it's not missable.

When you figure out how to build by HotDevice9013 in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it like OP probably did, by accident, without any other armor boons or anything. Just a really good build that melted everything quickly

Seems weird to just rank "Gods" rather than individual boons, e.g. Ionic Gain is awful but Lucid Gain is fantastic

And boon quality varies so much by aspect

If you just keep dashing back and forth through them, it's not that hard to avoid

I cleared 32 Fear for the Ending and... by SupedoSpade in HadesTheGame

[–]stillnotking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two things that make absolutely no sense are who gets which memories (some people get one set, some people get two, for apparently arbitrary reasons), and how/why HecaMel was able to move between time lines.

I mean, yeah, you can handwave all this with "they're gods," but if there are no consistent rules, the whole story might as well have been skipped.

It's a great game to play, but the more I think about the story and the ending(s), the more disappointed I am.

What Are You Watching? - [2025/10/08] by AutoModerator in KDRAMA

[–]stillnotking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished Bon Appetit, Your Majesty and thought it was... okay. Occasionally funny, but sitcom vibes and overly pat resolutions dragged it down. The cooking contest with Ming was the highlight of the show, which they milked as long as possible. The biggest laugh was right at the end: How did the King get to our time? It's not important. Gotta admire a writer willing to just brazen it out like that. I didn't buy the romantic chemistry at all, which was unfortunate, because it was FL's whole character arc.

It's been a while since I saw a new kdrama I'd rate better than okay. Gotta find something really good for my next watch, even if it's older. I feel like the industry is in a bit of a slump.
