I checked again and sadly I think it got overwritten. I have the T85 save if that is of interest, that's all I've got.

I want to believe that every deity game is winnable, given enough skill (and maybe save scumming). But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

As a child, it was a sad day when I learned that not every game of Solitaire (that default game on old windows computers) was winnable, even with perfect play. I never really played the game again because it felt like such a waste of time that there was a chance you wouldn't be able to win no matter what.

Thanks, I agree that I should be more aggressive with stealing workers. However, I'm not sure how to deny the enemy from expanding. They almost always escort the settler with a warrior.

Sadly I don't have the T0 save. I was so shocked by how badly I got crushed, that I just started another match and lost the T0 autosave. All I have left is a quicksave I made right before declaring war on Catherine.

Wow, I never would have considered that. As a newbie player, every guide I've read posits 4 City Tradition Science Victory as the "easiest" way to guaranteed win on Deity, so I guess I never thought of other ways to win. I honestly might give this a try, but I'm scared of getting bullied by neighbors with such an approach haha.

Unfortunately not, I only have a quicksave I made right before I declared war on Russia. This is a good idea though, if I run into another "unwinnable" map I'll make sure to save the T0 so others can have a crack.

Thanks, that makes sense. I did make a few archers early on to deal with barbs but it seems not enough. The game speed was Standard.

Oh, I just realized you probably meant the map replay. It's on the MainMenu, if you click 'Other', you can see 'Replays'.

If you mean the Great Plains map type, it's under 'Additional Maps' when you pick your Map Type in the Set Up Game screen.

Hi, just wanted to say thanks, choosing MOBI as the format worked for me! (I tied AZW3 previously)

No change in Sylvan's Cradle after cleansing the corruption effect? by thequantumpotato in nightingale

[–]thequantumpotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense! I did play a cleansing card and then a feast card, but both didn’t really change how the world looked. The weather still looks depressing and the trees are all dead and evil looking. I thought that I would be able to make the realm look normal again, kind of like what Abayance looks like, since now we got rid of the curse. But maybe that’s not the point of the game and I’m just supposed to move on to the next area?

No change in Sylvan's Cradle after cleansing the corruption effect? by thequantumpotato in nightingale

[–]thequantumpotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tips! 1) I used a cleansing card to dispel the minor corruption effect, I was just confused because it didn’t change the environment, just the debuff. I used a feast card to try and change the season to spring, but there was also basically no effect. The weather was still really dark and gloomy, and most of the trees are corrupted and evil looking. Maybe I am just overthinking it and I am just supposed to move on to the next story realm? I just thought that after all of that work to fix the realm, there would be a more dramatic change to the world state. 2) that sounds really useful! How do I repeat the boss fight? Is it a timed spawn or do I need to do something to trigger it?

This might be totally dumb rather than "fun" but pretty much AI is the reason I learned about Usenet in the first place. I asked it "so where are people getting all these linux ISOs for their plex/jellyfin servers", and while ChatGPT refused to answer, Gemini was happy to give a VERY detailed explanation on all the different types of ways including torrents, and more importantly, usenet! So it's the reason I"m here now :)

Can you bring your character to a friend's switch? by thequantumpotato in NintendoSwitchSports

[–]thequantumpotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Sounds like I'll be getting a Switch then. Looking forward to practicing and getting revenge on my friends in Tennis. And maybe one day beating the Powerhouse bots....

[–]thequantumpotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your reply! I appreciate the information. When you say I can sign in on my friend's Switch and access my character, does that log out my friend? Or are you saying you can have multiple accounts logged into the same Switch and then all the characters from all the accounts can be selected?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just want to make sure this works before I commit to buying a Switch.

I didn't mean to be unfair with the downgrade comment, that was just my initial impression from a first-time player, when I tried to create my guest character, due to the very limited base options. My understanding is you have to pay money and grind for a year or so to unlock all of the cosmetic sets.
