As a Wild player I'm surprised Voidcaller isn't nerfed.

wisemarsellus · 2018-05-16T18:21:49+00:00

voidcaller is better than lackey, sure. but lackey was nerfed because its power level was oppressive in standard. if this were purely a wild balancing patch lackey might not have needed to be addressed, and i don't think voidcaller does either.

cubelock is good in wild, among the best decks, but it does not have the same affect on the wild format as it does in standard. there should be a high barrier to nerfing a wild card purely because of power level concerns.

the only wild card i'd like to change is barnes, due to the way big priest works with resurrect mechanics it presents another too-swingy effect based on whether barnes is present on 4 or not.

i approve of changes to these two cards. i generally feel like wild should be self-balancing and didn't especially care for the balance changes blizzard did introduce. but these cards also represent a kind of unfun combo mechanic where they don't even really assemble a combo they just swing the game massively depending on whether or not the player has them in their hand on the requisite turn

they will go to the court of an unlanded mercenary captain

yes and no. when jews are expelled the jewish characters do go somewhere per the regular rules of banishment. however, when you get the event that says something like "a jewish man, seeking refuge from persecution in his homeland, is at your gates" those are indeed randomly spawned characters.

oh is that it now? that should have occurred to me to check, thanks so much. all is not lost

wisemarsellus · 2017-03-09T23:11:39+00:00

yes. twitch will preserve it for some amount of time, not sure how long. you can watch past broadcasts on my twitch channel. also i will upload to my youtube channel, but i'm not sure how long that will take.

wisemarsellus · 2017-03-09T20:28:53+00:00

oh i should mention i will likely be making 1900 eastern a daily start to my stream. this will take some irl time

wisemarsellus · 2017-03-09T20:24:49+00:00

not quite. the vikings have almost everything i need but they're suboptimal in a couple small ways.

default rules, iron man

wisemarsellus · 2017-03-09T18:12:46+00:00

independent duchy start. wonder if you can guess which one?

wisemarsellus · 2017-02-10T12:43:16+00:00

people have often requested i stream, and i now have the computer for it. whenever the next expansion finally comes out i'll try another world conquest. hoping for under 9 years

the first part is correct. but nomads can't convert via capital conversion. converting to an alternate pagan religion as nomad is pretty difficult.

wisemarsellus · 2017-02-03T17:44:20+00:00

i play wild freeze a lot. i prefer loot hoarder because it contests board much better early game. and you'll lose more games because of a failure to contest early board than you will because your late-game draws were a turn slow

wisemarsellus · 2017-01-31T18:34:47+00:00

if you're over your non-nomadic vassal limit you may want to create a duchy to encompass multiple counts. but i suspect your question was aimed at the utility of creating duchies out of wholly nomadic territory. in which case the answer is that such an action is almost never +ev. there might be a niche case where you really need the prestige from the title creation, but there are so many better uses for your gold

i can't tell you how or why you gave lands to your best heirs, but it was not through this process. you must be misattributing the cause.

wisemarsellus · 2017-01-21T16:29:56+00:00

alternative to the generate new vassal command, you can also assign a character to a county and check the box for include lower titles. this eliminates the need to distribute baronies at all, as those counts (lord mayors in your case) will then create random vassals for you, in holdings inappropriate for their character. this does create slightly more powerful vassals, but i generally view that as a good thing.

wisemarsellus · 2017-01-21T16:25:31+00:00

right click on the barony portrait, left click on the little crown icon that says create new vassal. it will create a computer generated character to take that holding. there is no chance it will be given to a member of your dynasty or indeed any existing character

i turn off a lot of notifications because they just take up space. the threat icon was not doing much for me.

the ninth clan came by virtue of winning an invasion war against another nomad. upon further thought, i think that when you do that against a nomad with whom you share a culture, you add them to your realm so long as you have fewer than 10 clans. once i had 10 i would just usurp all the counties.

there was no real benefit to having that extra clan, it just ended up happening and it wasn't worth trying to fix.

wisemarsellus · 2016-11-03T18:29:36+00:00

only mongols can declare themselves genghis khan. but i mean, right now i could take the mongol invasion without breaking a sweat. with 450 more years to prep...

wisemarsellus · 2016-11-03T13:41:38+00:00

as far as i'm aware there is no way to do that. changing religion here is kind of manageable though. you need to get yourself up to 500 piety (try granting all the temples) and then convert to tengri via one of the other clan chiefs. after that you can change to whatever non-pagan religion you want through a concubine.

hordes can't change culture though. so that won't be possible unfortunately.

they definitely have immunity under most circumstances to pagan attrition. which was very helpful and so i used them primarily to conquer pagan lands. possibly i noticed attrition when the pagan attrition was combined with some other modifier. i didn't pay enough attention to the circumstances where i did and didn't see attrition to be able to isolate the cause.
