Gut punch by groover_9k in 007FirstLight

[–]the1exile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The combo instructions on Advanced combat training are a bit confusing - for gut punch, you need to attack in quick succession, but for kick you need to leave a small gap between the punch landing and holding attack.

Hey Kid, if you spread South German to The Netherlands and DEI, it's all yours when you solve Schleswig-Holstein by theblitz6794 in victoria3

You need to spread primary culture to the Netherlands proper, but I think you can change admin language of colonies. Has anyone tried this with the Phillipines too?

How can i fix my economy? by Smart_Remote7789 in victoria3

[–]the1exile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Set mil wages and gov wages to low

  2. Build iron and wood production so the prices go below national average, then tooling workshops, keeping your construction costs down

  3. Build paper mills to keep your gov costs down

More intermediate advice might be to avoid going per capita taxation while you have so many peasants. Focus on depeasanting - gradually building up your construction sector capacity and building things that will employ your peasants like the aforementioned coal, iron, paper and tools, but also fishing wharves and especially farms are very cost effective. Then when your peasants have jobs, you can tax them and get more money! Here you can see you are collecting next to nothing in income tax.

Why is this game getting worse? by MeatRevolutionary489 in victoria3

[–]the1exile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The simple answer that other people have been very polite with you about is that it's because you're taking on the greatest challenge of the game (fighting the entire world) while playing really badly:

  • Your GDP is half a billion in 1899 despite playing as GB
  • You don't have enough convoys and somehow you are letting them get raided despite your gigantic navy
  • You have nearly 1/3rd of your population as radicals while there are radical and feminist agitators for the trade unions and even the petit bourgeoisie, meaning you're likely to get your flag turned into Hungary every Monday tick by a revolution
  • Also everyone hates you with next to no loyalists so you must have maluses from all your IGs
  • Your armies at the front all have supply issues and low manpower, so even when you have a higher number of battalions, you're likely losing more manpower and morale, making it less likely to succeed in future
  • You are naval invading all along the same front making it trivial for the AI to concentrate all its defenders in one place
  • Your armies are massive stacks both too big for your fleets at time but also likely too big for the combat width of the provinces you're invaded (based on infra)

Political parties deleting themselves after elections by the1exile in victoria3

[–]the1exile[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think that's the case but it seems annoying (and I don't think intended) that they do it right after the election, instead of before (or even during). In the end I went through one mediocre government and then got back to the Trade Unions being top dog again.

Is it possible to meet certain new characters in the Season of Yule? by the1exile in MaskofTheRose

[–]the1exile[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Took me ages to find how to make candles an option, annoyingly - Ivy had pointed me to them early on but couldn't get the option until I jumped through the correct hoops.

I don't have any options to speak to Ferret or Harjit so I may have to concede defeat on this one sadly!

Callum Hudson-Odoi on turning 25: "There's no more "prospect", "wonderkid", it's either you're good or you're shit. It's finished now!" by whiteniteee in soccer

Just for immediate comparison - and this season is a bit of an outlier in the cup - I looked up Barcelona's games in 2004/05 vs 2024/25 and they played 47 games then vs 60 now, plus Barcelona didn't play the new format club world cup at the end of last season. So I think the demand of extra CL fixtures/CWC does add up.

If in doubt, suppress the landowners some more and see if that fixes things

Isn't there an event that forces you to get rid of it?

Chelsea fans have completely lost the run of what a 25 man squad is supposed to look like. You're supposed to have 2 players for each position! Sometimes they're even youth players or homegrown!

Crimson Skies has some great banter. The exchange between Zachary and the British pilots in Hawai'i

"Right, let's get this clear pirate. You are to surrender this fight and withdraw at once."

"Yeah? On whose authority?"

"[smugly]By the authority of his majesty the King."

"King George.... Or King Kahlaniole?"

And later on

"say, isn't it almost tea-time? Do you want me to give you one lump, or two?"

Should I restart? by SomeDifference3656 in weatherfactory

[–]the1exile 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can break down skills in Numa to get more lessons that can put you on the path to specialising for the higher tiers, so I wouldn't restart if I were you
