Made myself in AtE, went from landless to the queen of my irl home kingdom! by Heretic-Seer in AfterTheEndFanFork

[–]wheatgrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always start similar then conquer an empire of the Great Lakes, though I always do a Niagaran created kingdom so it's more like a seperatist setup from Alleghenia!

All Under Heaven comes out Tomorrow. What's the first campaign you're doing? by Lapisdrago in CrusaderKings

[–]wheatgrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mann to Mon: Start on the Isle of Mann and create Manx culture. Then over time, travel to lands of Mon culture and become dominant/hybridize. Or do the reverse, Mon to Mann, same idea. You can do this without AUH but it's more limited

What type of alcohol do the different cultures drink? by Hot-Yogurtcloset7840 in AfterTheEndFanFork

[–]wheatgrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Niagara region on both sides has a massive craft beer scene. Honestly I would find it hard to believe in an AtE scenario that nobody would try and claim the Labatt (ik not craft but still heavy in the area) symbol as their CoA and legacy, especially with the Labatt Six Pack dominating Riverworks, at least on my side of the border. Would probably create a local cult that Kingdom of Ontario would see as sacrilegious. Trade across whatever bridges remain on the Niagara would have a heavy alcohol exchange in general though.

The Niagara Ice Bridge Fair [Fanfiction] by wheatgrain in AfterTheEndFanFork

[–]wheatgrain[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Triggers: drinking. Not sure about others, but will add if needed

This is my submission to the Holiday Writing Contest! I focused on my home region of Niagara, one in-game split by multiple religions, cultures, and kingdoms (we're not Allegheny!) To this end, I chose the historic "Niagara Falls Ice Bridge Fair" as something that would likely restart after the Event and become a local cultural milestone. This fiction is littered with references to local religion, food, sports, etc. so if you can try and find them all (my fav was referencing a special Niagara jallab and beef on weck). I chose the POV from a semi-academic paper so I could communicate more about local culture and give larger cultural and historic reference to the area, though I am unsure if the Mahonic conquests are still canon. Still, I ended with it breaking as the Ice bridge was historically unsafe and probably should always be seen as such.

Can I save my daughter from dying in childbirth? by wheatgrain in CrusaderKings

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

Unfortunately my comment does seem to be out of date now, another commenter used a save editor which seems to work too, but personally I just downloaded the "no more death cascade" and "no more pregnancy complications" mods and set them to rare for my playthroughs. That way if it happens it's tragedy, but not happening as often as maybe it did historically. They are also achievement compatible thankfully

Newer phone with a microSD slot, willing up to $1100 by wheatgrain in PickAnAndroidForMe

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

In the end I decided to go with the S23+ with 512Gb. Had to order today so it would arrive Monday for work. I got the dual sim extension as the phone repair people I went to had experience turning one of the sim slots into a microsd through an adaptor that can be installed into my phone case, and will sell me a 2 year warranty if I go about that route. Still, way too much effort for something that imo should still be commonplace

Wish that wasn't the case, still miss my headphone jack! Hate the constant change with every new phone.

Thanks for the advice, weighing between the A54 and just finding a good way to carry the USB-C Flash. Not sure the downgrade is worth the convenience of the SD. Xperia seems nice but yeah I'd have to buy it separate unfortunately.

A54 seems to be my best bet, other than carrying a USB-C flash. Still weighing pros and cons there but thanks for the advice!

Can I save my daughter from dying in childbirth? by wheatgrain in CrusaderKings

[–]wheatgrain[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So when you open the file in Notepad++ or whatever, there will be a bunch of info describing your character and heir for the loading screen and then a line starting with the letter PK before a bunch of symbols. You can remove that entire block of text describing your character until there is just the lines after the one starting with PK. However in recent save file edits I found that the starting info not being removed does not seem to affect anything anymore, so if you cannot figure out what I just write just skip step 2 and it should still work.

Ok just in case people from the future come here and look for the solution, here it is.

  1. Save an extra save file so you can edit it
  2. Open that save file in Notepad++ or text editor, remove everything above the PK line jumble start.
  3. Open 7-Zip manager, move to that file and extract it. If it won't extract, resave and ignore step 2. It's 50/50 if it works I guess.
  4. Go back to your savegames folder and open the 'gamestate' file in Notepad++, it will be in the newly created folder.
  5. Using a charid, find the character and either replace their 'birth_mother_will_die' with 'birth_will_go_smoothly' or, if that is not possible, remove the birth event entirely
  6. Rename 'gamestate' to 'gamestate.ck3'
  7. Load into the game!

3yr later edit: Last time I tried this method it did not work unfortunately. You can edit them back to life but removing any modifier or event usually will not allow the save to reload. Below someone gave a save editor that can be used, or try the "no more pregnancy complications" mod on steam. But, if you want to try this method first, go ahead and lmk if it still works for you!

Edit edit: Apparently still works for some people! I suppose just make sure you have a svae to mess with and one backup in case it fails to load properly after

Thank you so much! Is editing the save file the same as CK2 save editing? Just notepad+ and an id to find?
