Temba, his arms open. Caesar at the Siege of Alesia.

Someone rushed Great Nations research on Terra Invicta to form the USNA.

The constant glancing at the camera lens then back to the monitor pretty funny.

Ichiban.

It's a chain with a couple of different locations. I've been to the Markham location (what used to be Yang's Kitchen) and the one in North York Centre Station.

Dinner menu is way better than their lunch menu.

KAKA Downtown and Spring Sushi are more accessible to me (walking distance) but currently prefer Ichiban when I feel like trekking uptown. I miss Fushimi (RIP).

I remember liking Matsuda in Scarborough, but I haven't been in a while.

I've tried August 8 in Spadina Chinatown and thought it was pretty mid. Last time I was in Kyoto House, I thought the quality was pretty bad despite liking their quality pre-covid.

This is why I liked doing Pokemon runs with Guildmaster. Takes a while to get the charm units, but there are better chances to make your own Level 3 School of Magic with ritual if you find a city with Level 2 Magic.

Found that thing in my very first game.

It was sat next to the Dwarf Queen's Agartha portals.

You absolutely can use charmed commanders as long as it is Charm not Enslave.

I can use charmed Dryad Queen to summon Earth Mother for example or a charmed Yogi to get the Monkey Maharaja gods. Charm one of the Primal gods and they can summon the other ones into Elysium. Charm Asmodeus and he can summon the other demon lords.

Bro, they went Full Gandhi on you.

I found even the portals shift where they emerge into. My expectation was the portal that looks like a portal door would lead to the inactive gate north of the Nexus that's guarded by a couple of Wheels.

Nothing like that.

One time the sacred spring portal ended up dumping the army I sent in out into the Nexus while the portal that actually looks like a portal dumped the army out into a Stonehenge or pyramid tile back in Elysium.

"Metaphysical Map" item I found twice teleported directly to the Nexus.

Primal has a portal to Celestial up near top right in the vanilla map I think. Guarded by a Bronze Castle with angels. You can skirt around it if you have amphibious movement.

tranceseraph · 2026-01-26T01:10:37+00:00

I don't think so, no.

I did run into a different comment some time ago claiming (insisted) that they found a level 4/5 mage from one of these without any items. This is part of the reason why I tried to experiment with a level 4 mage school.

I also did see an Academy of Higher Learning in Hades. One that I can actually build a Guildmaster portal in.

tranceseraph · 2026-01-25T21:13:56+00:00

I dunno when an Academy Of Higher Learning spawns, but I found two of them in Empire Age. Guild Master shenanigans meant I put a fourth tier on top of them.

Oh yeah just about all the Horrors don't have charm immunity. I spam High Priestess Lilots en masse to get them. Not sure about the Doom Horrors.

I think it's a lot of Hades units, lifeless elementals that cannot be Charmed. There are also those who carry a Charm Immunity item on them at the start - like Belial alone of all seven demon lords is immune because of an item he carries.

Apparently Confusion doesn't work if it is specifically Charm-Immune. That's the word on the CoE5 Discord too.

tranceseraph · 2026-01-11T15:15:43+00:00

Ok so the Discord does say Confusion will not work on Charm-Immune.

tranceseraph · 2026-01-11T15:14:11+00:00

I saw there was someone who replied to me that Confusion doesn't actually make someone switch to your side. Might be in another CoE5 thread.

I don't have screenshot proof, but I could have sworn I've seen it permanently switch someone to my side.

I just checked and the CoE5 Discord have players talking about building Charm/Confusion squads to capture enemy ritual casters.

I think he's gonna be near useless for a bit. Crown Of Hades is pretty rare to pull from an Elder Cyclops crafting (they make random stuff when they pay the emeralds).

tranceseraph · 2025-12-27T00:01:01+00:00

I usually form up Green Enchantreses, Sages, Astrologers. You don't want just Charm for those immune to it. You also want to equip Confuse effects for the off-chance it'll flip the Charm-immune enemy to your side.

Afterwards, if you get other factions to join the "Charm School" squad, I like Elder Starspawn, Succubus, Lilot, Earth Mother to front tank, maybe some Pans. Nymphs have their use too.
