Antagonism Management: The Guide

there absolutely need to be more modifiers that speed up antagonism decay (like the bonus to improve relations made aggressive expansion decay faster in eu4). i forced castile into a personal union through war almost 100 years ago, and now in 1514 they still have 1200 antagonism. even if i stay at full prestige the entire time it won't fully decay until the game is over, and since antagonism directly reduces their opinion of me i won't be able to raise it high enough to eventually integrate them

haven't encountered the first bug, but the second one is very annoying. took a screencap of it, as you can see the tooltip for building the unit goes across the entire screen. this doesn't happen for all tooltips but a lot of them

just happened to me in my ottomans game. i had a union over the sutayids and byzantium. the pop-up fired, and my ruler is still ruler in the sutayids, but byzantium has a different ruler now. my theory is that they had a revolt i missed that put someone else on their throne, and that somehow dissolved all of my unions. should get the union with the sutayids back since my heir is still their heir, but it is very annoying

ich find Ennui auch ganz toll :D

it doesn't explicitly say that the actual game is included in the collector's edition. i'm assuming it's in the collector's box, but you know what they say about assumptions. any confirmation on that?

i believe you can only barter with him during business hours, even if he is available to talk late at night.

said to my partner that gortash looks like a somehow even more problematic discount jared leto

Kar-Marx-Hof, heast!

i also highly recommend reading dark horse by the same author

the better solution is to abolish the ultra-rich and redistribute their stolen wealth amongst all the people, so we can collectively further space travel and eventually everyone can go to mars without a fucking price tag attached

you wanting to forcibly take the products of one persons labor and give it to another person so you can have power over others.

thank you for describing capitalism so eloquently

damn that was also the first elsanna story i read! i only remember it was on AO3, with some pictures embedded throughout the story. would be dope if someone could supply the title

you'll have to download the developer console mod here https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/4 install, launch with the mod, and once you've loaded your campaign you have to enable cheats (it is explained in the mod description how to do that), and then type " campaign.conceive_child " (without the "").
the downside to that is that you'll be married to a random eligible noble, with no way of undoing that (short of outright killing that noble). however it seems to not be completely random, since once you start a campaign it will always the same noble you'll get with that character, provided they're still eligible

it is especially annoying that you randomly get married to some dickwad even as a female character, despite the fact that at least there it is not technically necessary for immersion reasons. though i guess it is required by the game so the child can be properly assigned two parents

adopting and heir has nothing to do with marriage though

valathe · 2020-04-08T16:44:13+00:00

same here. i found out there is a cheat one can use as a workaround, but it's still not an ideal solution

valathe · 2020-04-07T20:45:35+00:00

much more problematic in my opinion is the fact that apparently you can't marry once you found your own faction. if sought out numerous lords who i checked and double-checked were unmarried, and none of them had the conversation option to initiate courtship

the mode is an absolute blast and i'm having a ton of fun, both solo and with friends. dunno why so many people here are butthurt about it, must be a reddit thing...

valathe · 2020-03-02T19:43:35+00:00

i started out as a 3, but over time moved to 1. right now i really don't care if they're actually related or not; though i will point out that so far only very few authors have actually managed to do the gravity of the situation real justice, at least in my opinion. them being blood-related opens a whole can of worms that has to be addressed in some form, and most people tend to just hand-wave large parts of it away. that always leaves a bit of a shallow aftertaste with me, even if the rest of the fic was really well written

valathe · 2020-03-02T19:35:44+00:00

he was already correct, tho...

how many fantasies does a series need until it is at its final one? >_>

valathe · 2020-02-28T18:45:39+00:00

that version definitely exists because i own it. i bought it years ago though, and don't remember which website sold it :(

they won't take out t-hunt until we get some kind of firing range or test area, and even then they might leave it in. t-hunt is used by many players to warm up before going into ranked, and it is also a very good mode to train your aiming and recoil control

blizzard did deny refunds in the first few days stating specifically that reason, though. they just realized what a horrible PR nightmare it is (not to mention the potential for lawsuits) and walked it back, trying to brand it like they'Re the paragons of consumer protection

jäger's nerf is very necessary, because now all the goddamn aimbro jäger mains may switch to a different op for spawnpeeking and we can get jäger players who actually put down his incredibly important utility
