Previous thread: >>1881939
I'm fucking these Gnomes up. It's annoying to lose the first battle with a Galley fleet but you know you'll have a good battle coming in the future. Had to do a sweaty delayed reinforcement to win the battle to get them off my fort just as they were about to take it. Solid start.
Hmm.
So, making a non-wizard ruler a vampire: retarded or not a big deal?
I'm no coward. Got about 50k more manpower to drain from these fucks.
>>1903591>So, making a non-wizard ruler a vampire: retarded or not a big deal?If you are playing Corvuria, there might be a mission that requires you to have a wizard ruler.Immortal rulers are great either way, but vampizards are extra good. You can use the estate spell Rite of Conception to give you a wizard baby, but i'm not sure if it works if you are already a vamp.Btw, vampire rulers will get an event asking them to resign around age 80, to keep up the facade. It's not mandatory, but you're not stuck with the vampire either
>>1903599There's something very satisfying about watching your forts bleed the enemy dry.Gemradcurt and Gor Burad also specialize in this
>>1903610>If you are playing Corvuria, there might be a mission that requires you to have a wizard ruler.there is, which is why I was wondering.I thought, I don't know, I'd get some event later on that "unlocked the magical mysteries with your newfound undeath" or whateverI saved before getting embraced, so I'll just disinherit my current heir and try to magic up a baby. Even if it is a 0/0/0 I reckon I have enough time to transmute their skills into something usable
>>1903612It's very enjoyable, I've done Kobolds half a dozen times. I wish Gemradcurt had some more enemies to use their attrition against though. Haven't tried Gor Burad yet.
Fuck around and find out, Gawed.
Also,Corinite Corvuria?this cancer spawned right next to me on my vassal aieeee
>>1903626yesbut only to subvert the empire
>>1903613Corvuria starts with a magic heir and you are supposed to make him into a vampire
>>1903640I wasn't fast enough
>>1903562>playing Bulwar>delay transition to Surakes for decades in order to try out the snake mage tag>no missionsFUCK. At least I was able to reload into Surakes, but these missions are taking eons. Is it worth persevering to the end?Also my military is actually dogshit, I need massive numbers superiority in fights against dwarves and elves.
>>1903626If you get an event about cults hanging out in the countryside, and you let them fester, you'll get the chance to convert to the Infernal Court.It has some nice bonuses, like one God that gives +1 adm power. There's also the dude who made vampires, so that's fitting. Plus, it has the defender of the faith mechanic - sadly not much flavour beyond that. For some reason, the Cannorians aren't even very angry about you worshipping evil. Maybe they got used to it, because of all the Coriniteshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arc_I54oYrg
>heir rolls Powerful Mage at 15>slams that Abdicate button
>start drilling>rebels
>>1903679Skill issue.The game always warns you about the rebels months before they actually spawn. You can also defeat the rebels with freshly drilled armies, but you need to have the numbers advantage and midgame artillery.
This will go much, much worse for them than last war considering the War Magic and 11 Shock War Wizard.
It's like fighting Gawed before the rework.
>When you're playing as a minor nation and a country in your region becomes a Mythic Conqueror
Playing Varaine because of that one anon who always praises them.It's 1460, i was made elector, have an income of 13, conquered 5 provinces, have 100 power projection, and an alliance with Wex, Istralore, Arbaran, Pearlsedge and Lorent.Definitely one of the stronger openings i've had as an imperial OPM. If only the ruler wasn't hot garbage
>>1903562For my first Haless run, should I go for the Command or for Feitien?
>>1903763Bianfang
>>1903763Balrijin
>>1903763Command is a ton of fun but it's a lot easier if you know how it flows, there's a shitload of mechanics and a fun side mission of completing the MT before 1650 which can be tight. Can't hurt to try. Feiten is in an innocuous position where it's easy to grow before the inevitable Command fight that every nation in Haless must go through, as they're decently far away over in Yanshen. Not a bad choice to learn how the region works.
Are there tags that can get the Army of Halann without blobbing like crazy?
>>1903834No. The Kai formable in Haless gets quite a few integrated but you'll still need to go get Ruinborn, Lizards, Half-Elves, Centaurs, Gnomes, Orcs, Trolls, Ogres...basically conquer the entire world minus most of Aelantir.
>>1903834ogres are probably the hard one as they're only far inland, other than that starting around gulf of rahen seems like a good spot, only missing gnomes close by but you could get them from Aelantir later
redpill me on trollsare they Warcraft trolls or LOTR trolls?
>>1903898Closer to LOTR, but not quite there. They are hulking giants, pretty reclusive, not exactly stupid, but definitely slow. They have a talent for building and keeping infrastructure in good shape, but they were pushed from the ancestral lands of their giant creators into the empty wilderness. They don't hate other races but also don't see them as people, at least not before the game starts.
>>1903897gnomes show up in large cities with the Gommo in the 1600s you're willing to wait
>>1903644>Is it worth persevering to the end?The MT is kinda underwhelming ngl, but the bonuses you get are kinda cool, for flavour if for nothing else. I like the vibe of building up a unified idenity for Bulwar, and it reflecting which races you kept and which ones you got rid of
How hard is Urviksten?
man I wish the dorfs with a harbour could actually redirect trade from the new world to them
Rahen is pain>Raj is a CBT simulator>Bhuvauri or Command are always breathing down your neckthere is so much potential which is killed by everything being a megablob in fucking 1444
>>1904047Doesn't look too hard. Ally Skaldskola or Bjarnik, conquer weak minors in the northwest, kick gray orcs when they are down or busy elsewhere. Maybe ally Gawed. It should be smooth sailing after that.
>>1904084Just tag switch and do a little nation ruining
>>1904104>just cheat brono.
>>1904084It's a blob eat blob world
>>1904116its only Rahen that is fucked, Yanshen and east is fine (and with Xia harpies your army becomes a wood chipper)
>>1903898the Fjord Trolls in the north are more norse mythology than anything, the other anon described them pretty wellyou have forest trolls, who recently got a tag with wholesome integration themes or whatever, doesnt seem very interesting to me, but in terms of the race and culture, it's basically the same thing as the Fjord ones but less slavery and eating peoplethe cave trolls also have a tag that is all about wholesome integrating all races, but aside from that tag they are basically LOTR cave trolls, big dumb solitary predators that sometimes get enslaved as war beasts by orcs or goblinsand then you have SwampTrolls, which are the Yezel Mora ones in Sarhal, and are puppets of a Shadow Hag coven. very evil, they do some flesh grafting stuff i think
>>1904065You can route Sarhal though, and there's plenty of things to colonize there.
>>1903898>redpill me on trollsTROLLS are going to BUILD HYPERBOREA and you CANNOT STOP themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkVwA__Fk9g
>>1903910I'm about to get to that part of the MT but I'm losing interest despite how cool it's been up til now. Too much waiting for universities to build etc. The god-king disaster was really cool and difficult.
>>1904084Play Dhugajir, they grow stupidly easy and then literally run over the Command.
>>1903562Has the Darkscale MT been completed yet? At least on the Bitbucket?
>>1904197No

>>1904197its been dropped bro, you gotta wait 5 years more
>>1904208don't let your dreams be dreams
>>1904216Why the fuck is it always the most interesting/unique nations that get put into a corner and forgotten, while the niggers in Sarhal and the ooga boogas in Aelantir get all the content? I came back to this mod after forgetting about it for a year, but it seems like nothing worthwhile has happened since then
>>1904223Regular Dragon Coast Kobolds have a new MT on bitbucket. Darkscales have a formable, unique religious aspect and custom unit descriptions
Best dwarves, go.
>>1904258Obsidian Legion
>>1904268>spawns in like 1700 or somethingdo they at least have a MT
I play tags that seems interesting and make my own Mt with the console
>>1904258I think I had the most fun with Huz-al-Krakazol, their mission tree is perfectly unhinged and you have plenty of time to get bigger than The Command before they look at the Tree of Stone, I wouldn't recommend nation-ruining them or doing other cheeses like that since you'll lose one of your endgame enemies and that makes things less fun.

>>1904426Hate Larankar, simple 'as
>want to play Verkal Ozovar>starts right next to C*mmand
>>1904434You have a solid 100 years before they will head your way.
>>1904441I just wanna chill and vassal blob thoughI'm not good enough to tackle big nigs like that
>>1904442Make sure you join in the Sir rebellion deathwar even without a CB. You just need to make sure the three command HQ are sieged
>>1904445Which provinces are their HQs?
anyone familiar with the transmutative path religion from notChina? are chi wellspring the only way to get religion points?
>>1904476You can look at the economic map but I'm pretty sure it's Sarilavhan (their capital) Thamvihar and Gronstunad. Gronstunad is a though nut but if those three province are owned by anyone during the Sir the command automatically become a non issue.
>>1904477You get them fighting, sieging and building forts.
>>1904223i think there has been at least 3 serious attempts to give darkscale a mt, but the devs always end up dropping itprobably because it's a very hyped tag so you get more pressure than if you are deving for some random sarhali tag that no ones knows about, beginners usually pick more unassuming tags
>>1904418what trees are you waiting for? there is a good amount of decently large trees in this update for basically every regionpretty sure Kobildzan is the biggest mt for cannor since a long time, and if you are not into lizards there is also Count's League, Giberd, Gisden, Orda Aldresia, Stalbor and Wyvernhartthat's assuming you meant cannor, but the dwarovar has also gotten two pretty nice ones with Masked Butcher and Gronstunad and Bulwar has gotten Ovdal Tungr and Kumarkandand some of the new trees in sarhal and aelantir are pretty decent but i understand that's inside the oogabooga you want to avoid
>>1904677aelantir is not oogabooga, it's heyahoyaheyahoya
>>1904681it can also be about genociding the heyahoyaheyahoya if you play the right tags, unfortunately as far as i know no colonizer or adventurer tag in aelantir has gotten a new mt this updatewell, Khugra, the lizardfolk tag, conquers Taychend, but they integrate ruinborn. fun mt still
>>1904618thanks, didn't notice that. should have read the intro event
how the fuck are you supposed to deal with the fucking commands rebelling
>>1904815Elephant Command is easy to take out of the war quickly. Then it's 2v1 and it's a lot more manageable. In general you were supposed to populate the entirety of Rahen with Hobgoblin majorities using your Mercs as well as turn it into an industrial supercenter so you'd have a strong powerbase to fight the war.
>>1904824ah cool, so if I didn't bother with either I can't do anythingfun
>>1904830Would it BOTHER YOU to take a BITE out of my KNUCKLE SANDWICH?
>>1904830i didnt use the merc abilities a single time until after the insubordination, it's still perfectly doablejust death war, focus in the elephants, then tiger then dragon, try to avoid them getting their stack together. Before the war starts, if you are able place the orcish slave states in the richest parts of their spawning regions you can, to deprive them from resources
>>1903562>first time playing Feiten>trying to fight Bianfang>even allied with Beikdugang and both the Ogres and bird guys attacking them they still win handilyIs it really worth the run or should I swap to a tag that has a better military? I keep ending up playing mercantile nations with bad armies (Bulwar was my last run, played Verkal Gulan before that)
>>1904842>if you are able place the orcish slave states in the richest parts of their spawning regions you can, to deprive them from resourcesthey fixed that, orcs get moved to your clay when shit hits the fan Now that I think about it, I think the problem was I didn't delete the forts in their territory, meaning they were free to clump up
Should I be concerned? I usually have this part of the world disabled. Seems like they'll lag behind in tech forever
>>1904869They use the doom mechanic so they should collapse once they run out of thing to conquer
>>1904869They attacked me twice when I was playing Duwarkami on the other side of the swamp. Both times I won relatively easily, despite their high numbers. You should be fine. Merc up if you have to.
>>1904882they usually reform out of that and into the improved religion pretty quickly in the last patch, but they still lag so much in mil tech that they are a non-issue
>>1904852They automatically get forts if you do that, so that won't work either.
>you'll never play as City Goblins because everyone is afraid of writing about the great replacement of Bayvek (formerly Bayvic)
Wouldn't have taken this fight but they jumped on my stack while I wasn't paying attention. I can take any fights (660k+ manpower) but it's funny to watch them bleed on my forts and I'm only interested in relieving sieges on trap provinces which they haven't begun doing; they all have Ramparts and +2 Defender rolls will cause very funny battles. One year in and they're at half manpower.
Dead thread
>>1905707dead mod. dead board
is the new lizardfolk tree decent?
>>1905873Khugra? I've heard good things about it, it's naval/trade focused. It also suffers from the trend where the first tag to get content in a region never focuses on their cultural formable and instead does their own thing.
>play as Isobelin>10% of the missions in>need to build some useless 800 ducats monument>need to build an impressment office>need to build 10 courthouses (you only need 3 states for your tree and have 0% autonomy on everything 10 years in)>need to take a couple of Tolerance ideas (as a 3 states nation)fantasy NYC better be worth it
>>1906501it isn't
>>1906501It plays nearly the same as every country in that northern ring.
>>1906556Mod really doesn't do anything interesting with human colonialism. Elves have Aelantir and Reznakand, Artificers have Triarchy, Gnolls are pirates and Asraport has interesting concept, if nothing else. Even Orcs have vodoo Haiti and Freemarches. Humans get jack shit
Anyone tried out Karakhanbar on bitbucket? They're the other orc formable in the deepwoods.
>>1903562The Command won the Sir rebellion disaster. Should I wait for them to have a different disaster? They're at 80k army size compared to my 40k as Bianfang.
>>1906690>The Command won the Sir rebellion disaster.>He didn't deathwar them during itThere's no other disaster
>>1906690Start building forts, expanding like crazy and get any and all military buffs
>>1906690You might be able to fuck them during the other commands rebellion. Might. But you're about to have a bad couple decades.
>>1906709>Other command rebellionSince he's Bianfang it will never happens since the command would need 400 dev in his area.
>>1906693>>1906705>>1906709I didn't know they were having the Sir rebellion until it was over tbqh, there wasn't an event that fired until the end that I saw.
>>1906731Sir rebellion is a fixed event that start one or two year after game start, it's not a disaster
>>1906733First time Haless game pls understand
>>1906735Well even with several more allies and loans out the ass to buy mercs, the Command doesn't give a shit about 3-1 numbers, despite us having the same mil tech. I don't understand how you're meant to deal with them at all.
Give me one (1 (one)) fun tag.
>>1906854The Command
>>1906690there is still a chance to cuck them out of korashi reserves so their mage revolt disaster fires, but it requires you taking the perma damestear provinces from Xia and eating Azjakumaonce that is done you can beat them up easily (however the mage revolt gives the breakaway tags insane buffs and legendary mage rulers, you might want to wait a bit before trying to take them down)
>>1906754as anon above said you can try Dhugajir, their military is so insane I was able to beat the Command alone while outnumbered several timesalternatively they will overexpand eventually which will allow a coalition to form, but you must lead it because the I legitimately believe the AI is hardcoded to never ever declare on The Command on their own
>>1907027>I legitimately believe the AI is hardcoded to never ever declare on The Command on their ownThey will declare if they think they can win, the thing is that unless a player intervene they'll never get to that state.
>>1907050I have had The Command reduced to a rump state with <40 FL and everybody, even the ultrablob Dahui which I enabled by beating them down not deccing
>>1907062That's not really what matters, what does is keeping their manpower at 0 war exhaustion high and current army size low.
Sorry
>>1906690why didn't you attack them during the disaster?
dwarves are,,, painful... to say the leastthe corridors...the attack maluses... the non-existent manpower...I just want to fuck over my neighbours outside the serpentspine but I never have manpower...
>>1907525>no manpowerElves have it even worse, calm downuse your staggering economic power to go over FL and merc the fuck outdorfs are OP and thats why they need like 4 disasters for simply existing
>>1907525join the goblins and their superior strategy of losing battles to win wars
>>1907525that's why they're giga buffed for the first 50 years, so by the time you look outside you already have the best economy and/or military out of every country not named The Command.
I haven't played since they released Southern Sarhal. What should I do to get back into Anbennar? I was thinking a game as the Nimscodd/Hierarchy or Bianfang

>>1908409Seghdihr has some CBT to deal with, I'd say Khugdihr (Asra Expedition) is a far better "babbys first Serpentspine venture"

>>1910370Online 'communities' attract degenerates, too freaky for regular society. It's a convenient way for such a tiny minority to congregate and expand.The ones with power fantasies just need some focus to rise to the top - and suddenly, a twisted sodomite holds authority and uses it to enforce conformity.Subversion is a natural survival instinct to them.

>>1912745Eordand? It's okay. It's a little bit of everything, until the big ending. And a lot of conquest, as MT wants you to unite the entire northern continent. Seasons all get their minor variations, 3-5 unique missions. I liked most events. I thought it was solid.

>>1913272Pro tip: while you're an adventurer purge nearby monsters and vassalize Ovdal Lodhum.
>Molten Core currently produces Mithril>This mission is going to change it to Glassnooooooooooooooooooo
That's the update? I know I shouldn't really expect much from just a few months of development, but it honestly feels quite lacking.With all the things they've promised in the future (magic rework, adventurers rework) it feels weird that there isn't really anything notable you can point to as the highlight of this update.Seems like Cannor got nothing again except for a few small nations. Not surprising, considering their policies. No, Kobolds and the Escanni are not Cannorian.Hopefully the next update will be better. With the last three updates (Scions of Sarhal, Forbidden Valley, Fires of Conviction) being boring as hell it's been hard to get excited about new content. Are they just all waiting on EU5 at this point?
these guys are giga based though
>>1913342>they gave the inventors of slavery a mission treeit better be kino
>>1913342>(magic rework, adventurers rework)Magic rework got fucked over by retarded developers overstepping their role in the project and causing conflict. Adventurer rework is just incompetently led, there is no sense of urgency in the people who are supposed to work on this.
>>1913342Nobody is allowed to work on any of the important or newer nations, they just rework rework rework to look like they're occupied.
>>1913598Funny. I found better version, with proper corners.
>>1913600I'd still fuck both of em
Kobolds only exist to be made into leather products.
Which regions can i disable when playing Masked Butcher? The little yellow exclamation marks are unreliable. I don't need Haless and Aelantir, right?
>>1913721>Disabling Haless instead of forbidden plains or south sarhal
>>1913724You sound disabled, frankly
>>1903562How are you liking new/reworked MT's?
The update screwed up my Gnomish Hierarchy campaign. My cavalry and infantry are greyed out in the unit upgrade window and I'm unable to recruit any more. I assume it's because the Gnomes got new units and that caused a conflict with me having the old units pre-update. Along with the new provinces they added for the kobolds in 1444 and Gawed randomly controls one of those provinces in the Dragonspine. I'm only at 1524 and my game was going pretty well so I'm debating whether to restart or maybe try going back to the previous update if I can.
>>1912973I like dwarf campaigns once you get going but the first 15-30 years of grinding are always so tedious
>>1913721Masked Butcher is all about skinning other races and carving their faces into masks, so you need at least a minority of every single raceyou dont actually need haless, since there are both harimari and hobgoblins in the tree of stone, but you might get cockblocked if someone purges the few minorities they have therefor aelantir just cheat when you reach the point where it's required and add some ruinborn minorities with console commanded eventsand you need east sarhal for lizard minorities, but not south or noth sarhalso summarized, remove haless, north and south sarhal, and both aelantirs, and just cheat if you get blocked, the performance improvement is worth that slight risk

>Missions that require mercantilism
>>1913943Thx chief
As Brambleskinner are you meant to annex your vassals like normal or wait for the mission tree to do it? It says on there that you can't integrate them until you make their formable but after amassing most of the clans (which also releases them in their tree if they don't exist and you have their land) their Liberty Desire gets too high and you get fucked, not to mention Landshark at risk of getting invaded to fuck things up.
>>1914058it's been like 20 years and i still don't understand what that mechanic actually does
Whoever made Vandipha needs to look over their code again since a major mission is broken.
>>1914087makes your provinces give more trade power and makes embargos more effectivealso increases liberty desire in colonial nationsbasically more mercantilism is always better unless you have colonial nations
>>1913337I feel like these sorts of hold resource changes should also come with big production bonuses to offset it possibly being a lower value good.
>>1914058>>1914087Take a look at those mercantilets.Pressing the mercantilism button usually isn't worth it, unless you have a good cost reduction going on.Get mercantilism for free: give out estate monopolies for resources that are not worth much to you. If you only have a single low-dev gem province that makes you 0.1 coins a month, just hand out the monopoly. You get a measly cash sum upfront and +1 mercantilism every time you grant or renew the monopoly. It'll be worth it in the long run and your merchants will be extra happy (+10 loyalty)
>the sauron orc experiment path for esthil went to wyvernheart instead
>>1914117Ummm the 50 reviewers already looked over it and said it was a-okay chud.
How in the world did Jaddar defeat and annex all of Zokka in only 4 months?Is there a special event for when the gnoll leader dies in battle?
>>1914434Correct. There's opposite version for Zokka.
>>1914434Yes and vice versa.
>>1914443>>1914445Neat

>>1914526They're good especially for trade power.
>Play the new masked butcher>By 1600 start to read the mission and event out of curiosityJesus, it is hardcore. Great writting.
As the new Kobildzan, demonsterize or no?
>>1914678Yes.
uhh... where is /gsg/ gone? everybody just posts here now? anby, my darling...
>>1914526>>1914526They give a massive trade steering bonus (which is the best trade modifier in the game) and with the right investments you can almost entirely negate the manpower penalty so there's really no downside. Also ignoring culture/religion differences is nice too. There's basically no reason not to TC everything upstream from your trade node if you can.
>>1913271don't ragequit when the disaster hits, it's worth it in the end
This second Ameion disaster is a fierce rival to the dwarven disasters.
Eborthil rework when
>>1915028THe one where the cut the empire in two?In shitness yes.
>>1915040i dont think any time soon, eborthil is beloved enough for devs to think it's fine as it is, unlike other old mts which are clearly shitty like magisterium or busilar
>>1915040Eborthil is old but not as shitty as some of the other old mission trees like Magisterium where you just dev click on a province all game.
>Vassalize goblin tag>They're super shit even when you feed them provinces>It's so bad that an OPM I vassalized contributes more than them
>Let's check out this new Gnoll tag Rakkaz, should be fun doing some tribal warfare>Cool, the warlocks bind demons to the souls of my hyenas to make my cavalry go insane>Sure warlocks, you've been helpful so far. I'll be happy to give you acces to this ancient ruin whispering promises of endless power.>Wait what do you mean coup d'etat?>100 years laterBest Gnoll country so far.
>>1915389(Messed up and placed powerful mage there twice. My bad)
>>1915389I prefer tluukt and genociding elves with gnoll shock troopers
Confirmed fun
Do Redscales and other Kobolds get a new mission tree upon unifying the tribes? Or should I ply something else for more "underdog" roleplay game with a good tree?
>>1915736Yes when you form Kobildzan.
>>1915736yes, they all share the same Kobildzan mt, but it forces you to go colonial so beware
>>1915736The old kobolds were underdogs but the new version is very strong and honestly too easy. Goldscales over in Haless are still fairly challenging though.
>>1915784>but it forces you to go colonial so bewarePiss. Guess I'll look for something else then since I play with the new world, southern not-Africa and the Centaur Plains turned off.
>>1915799You can still turn off South Aelantir, you only need the North.
>>1915801I don't like to play colonial, even in vanilla.I remember seeing some small nation in Bulwar that I heard anons here praise for it's missions. And I was recommended here to play Mulen and Goldscales which were fun for the most part so I'm inclined to try it.
>>1915736They aren't underdogs anymore since the rework buffed them too much.
Just done my centaur run, the last event was lackluster.Is there any mod to reduce the dev explosion in late game? Doing an entire coalition war for four province is bullshit.
I love the new Wyvenheart. Pure evil with a side of genocide is back on the menu.>>1915342Goblins rely on massively outnumbering the enemy, having infinite manpower to bleed them dry and later abusing artificers. They're basically worthless chaff unless a player is controlling them, at which point they become an unstoppable swarm of gun-wielding cokeheads.
>>1915853It's not evil because orcs are monsters THOUGH.
>>1915858it's not just orcs
>>1915040I saw a submission for reworked Eborthil ideas earlier this year so I assume some small movement is happening over there.

How is Bulwar, the republic? Also are Eastern Ogres and Harpy pirates any good?>>1916536Bianfang is the city generalship right? Did it get it's mission tree expanded?
>>1916548Bianfang is the vanilla-like Chinese Empire. Their goal is to Yannify entire Haless like how the Chinese manage to turn their entire subcontinent into Han cultures irl. They are the most vanilla out of all Haless tags but really powerful nonetheless.
>>1916548>How is Bulwar, the republic?I enjoyed it. Your Republic allows royal marriages and has special election mechanics, basically every time you will end up with average ruler or above average, and with three traits. You can later upgrade it to have better base stats and higher chance of good traits. MT is mix of territorial expansion and rebuilding your capital, turning it into the greatest city in the region. There's a lot of vassal play early. It's solid fun.

>>1903562EU IV is $5, which DLCs do I need to buy to play this mod?
>>1916758None, just creamapi all of them.
>>1916758>>1916758The most important DLCs (Rights of Man, Art of War, Common Sense) were integrated into the base game earlier this year so you don't need to buy them anymore. All the other DLC just adds content for specific countries and religions. Wealth of Nations and Conquest of Paradise are the two most important because they add content to the Europe-equivalent region that you will probably be spending the most time in (Regent Court religion and Adventurer mechanics).
>>1916809danke
>>1916782Piracy makes Johan sad.
>>1916809Regent Court uses Hindu religion mechanics so you'll likely want Dharma. Like the other guy said, just get everything.
>>1916827The Hindu/RC mechanics are from Wealth of Nations actually which is why I mentioned it. The only thing Dharma adds for Anbennar is the Rajput units which are what the mod uses for artificer regiments but unless you're playing an artificer country that's irrelevant.
>>1916829What about monster cav? Which special unit did they replace?
>>1916758Everything up through leviathan is the safe bet. After leviathan you only have mission trees and events for vanilla nations so you don't need them for anbennar. But anbennar makes use of everything else to some degree so you'd be missing things.
>>1916744Maybe the AI finally will be capable of forming Jadd Empire
>>1916744Jaddari barely expands and they are supposed to be this almost unstoppable force just like the Command so they I will agree with the devs they needed a buff so the AI can play it correctly
>>1916758>>1916809>>1916845It might be a minor thing, but for some reason modders decided to base Dwarven Pantheon mechanics on Jewish mechanics from Origins, the most obscure feature you could think of, and that religion is practically useless without it.
>>1916877That's also used for kobolds and fae simps
>>1916936Right, I knew someone else uses this, but I didn't remember who.
My Bulwar mission tree is bugged. I can't check the requirements of having 200% larger army than Harklum but can those of Zanar who have a bigger army than them. Can I unfuck this somehow cause it lock out most of my missions.
>>1917078You could edit the mission requirements in the mod files.
>>1916865Playing in Rahen must be fun now.
>>1917088Do you know it's specific location?
>>1917078Army strenght apparently takes Generals, Manpower (current and max), Tech-level, and modifiers into account alongside total army size.
>>1917078Since you've got that far playing Bulwar I've a question. Are you meant to declare the initial independence war or does it happen by event?
>>1917139filepath is missions/bulwar.txtthe specific mission is bulwar_taking_the_leadjust remove everything within the trigger >>1917248you're meant to declare independece manually
>>1917248When you are ready cancel tributary status manually and do the focuses. Preferably when Zokka and the other desertniggers are in a war that isn't kicking Jeddar to death, cause I didn't do that and the result was 100k dead gnolls and 60k dead human chads.A shame AI is retarded and aren't vassals just yet so you can't tard wrangle them.

I've enjoyed Mykx, Tluukt, and Rakkaz meanwhile Viakkoc was shit.
>>1917491What are your ideas? You should be able to manage the AE even with the bloated dev. I thought the kobold tree was fine until the final mission which requires taking land in Haless and Bulwar which in most games means fighting a huge Command or Phoenix Empire blob.
>Wyvernheart>floodborn coup happens>no more diets, just floodborn agendas>new agenda: get more orc minorities to turn into abominations>already murdered almost all the orcs in Escann>have to aggressively push for the last remnants of non-heartman lands holding pockets of oppressed orc minorities as well as into Gerudia for all the ones Vrorenmarch hasn't killed yetYes, I'm sure we'll calm down when we run out of orcs.

Why would you give me a 5 year truce with everyone around me? By the time its over that Asarta-Rayaz alliance is going to outnumber me 3/1
>>1919011Wasn't there an event where Asarta backstabbs Rayaz? I think I've seen something like that in my khet harpies game, but admittedly I wasn't paying much attention to the lizards
>>1919013There is? That might be useful to vulture on.

>>19190541500s like every other tag.
what tag do I play if I want to be extremely racist and do epic grobgermaniums xDDD genocidesthis is an unironic question
>>1919172Multiple options.Aelnar(Venail start) for securing the existance of star elves and a future for elven people.Black Demenese(Broken scepter->Esthil->BD) to oppress the non-magesRoadsomething in serpentspine to play as a OPM that migrates and erases country upon winning wars.Centaurs to pretend that you are Genghis KhanCommand if you want to enslave mages and non-hobgoblinsI think there is one tag on Escann where you experiment with orc slaves to turn them into abominations to fight for you.
>war vs kobolds
>>1919328Imagine going to war against them with elf military. You won't have manpower for very long time
>>1916548>>1916550Bianfang is a pretty unsubtle copy of the Qin from the warring states period era China, martial country, guardian against western barbarians, legalistic approach to ruling, MT about creating a yan empire etc. doesn't make it bad though to be clear, bianfang -> Dahui is a fun playthrough, though as an aside don't bother with religion before the rending because yanhe, one of the spirits released as part of the rending, is basically the spirit dahui claimed as bestowing legitimacy a la the mandate of heaven for irl china, except he actually pops up and demands you submit to him for real or in game terms convert to mystic accord, you can fight him too of course but honestly I'd say convert
>>1916744I mean unless I'm playing jadd I feel like before this patch it was like an 8/10 chance zokka won, ai tardation combined with the numbers advantage of zokka and his tributaries usually won the day
>>1919172>>1919198Brave Brothers into Wyvenheart is that last tag. Not only do you experiment on orcs, eventually you start using humans too. The mission tree requires culture conversion and you even lose the ability to have accepted cultures and cultural union. Dahvar Aelnar still got it beat on the genocide rankings however.
>>1919172Also Plains Ogres. Ones in the north can be taken over by demon, eat everyone on the Plains and then repeat it in Cannor. I think Maghrama in the south just kills the Lakers
How did this culture appear? Istralore used to own it.
>>1919692Didn't Jaybean say a couple years ago that he would never add half-elven culture?
>>1919407>>1919328mercs, allies, vassalsit's a nothingburger
>>1919850jaybean doesn't care/work on the eu4 mod anymorehe overdosed on copium and went all in on V3 (KWAB)
>>1919692A few Castanorian countries are now half-elf main culture, administration and military since 1444, Istralore, Anbaran, Lorent (Lencori half-elf), and maybe some others I'm forgetting.It's supposed to represent how a lot of the human nobility is mixed with elves, but the problem is that colonies get the culture of the country so if the country's main culture is half-elf even with 0% development they get half-elf colonies.
>>1920009They can't just give them half elven administration as their modifier?
>>1920019Administration and military requires either primary culture to be of a certain race or have a percentage of development of an accepted culture of a race, and they couldn't just make half-elf an accepted culture because there aren't any provinces with it as culture.I also don't like the change because from what I understood from the lore the nobles were mainly humans with some distant elven ancestry, as opposed to proper half-elves with an elf parent and a human parent.I think it would have been neat if instead you had to go out of your way to get half-elves to get them in administration and military, for example by having some elven culture you could get a elf consort and half-elf heir or also forcing vassals elves to royal marry you since they won't do it otherwise.And as minorities appear they could grow enough to start popping as the main culture in some provinces, not just Farrani half-elves with an event like now, but instead they could appear under certain circumstances.
>>1920032>also forcing vassals elves to royal marry you since they won't do it otherwise.It case it isn't clear, you currently can't royal marriage vassal elves as human, but I think it's a mechanic that should exist.
>>1919905That's his original vision for the entire mod desu.
>>1920066it's pretty clear the mod is crying out for pop mechanicsI think that following a typical medieval fantasy world into the early modern period is more interesting than having a fantasy industrial era that's more removed from the stereotype settingLuckily eu5 is the best of both worlds, I'm really looking forward to Anbennar II
Rakkaz is a retarded tree. You need to conquer and build 9001 buildings in shit low dev desert/sahara provinces and wait for cav to get power crept by infantry/fire to get your cav buffs.
>>1920009>>1919692Besides that, some provinces in Escann can also become half-elf. I took one Ferrani Half-elf culture province from Luciance at the border with Ibevar. It was part of the escanni culture group.
>>1920079>You need to conquer and build 9001 buildings in shit low dev desert/sahara provincesThis Krah doesn't know how to get as much mana as he wants by pillaging funny looking humans and lizards lmao>and wait for cav to get power crept by infantry/fire to get your cav buffs.Tell that to the 20K dead per tick I'm inflicting compared to a measly few hundred casualties in the 1700's
So why is there a harimari tag in the serpentspine?
>>1920229I noticed them too during my Kronuhstad (however you say it) run. My completely baseless guess is that they'll be tag about Harimari warriors from the Raj going "Fuck it we're gonna flank the command from the caves."
>>1920244I'm playing Axebellow and when I first saw them in the 1480s they were tribal and were situated in the caverns behind Dax's hold so they seem to be some kind of cave harimari instead.
They added in the Runefather as a religion for seemingly anyone with a capital in the serpentspine. They use holy order mechanics where each holy order increase a clan's allegiance providing you with more benefits. Each province in a state gives you 1 allegiance with mithril providing 1 extra and holds providing 2 extra. The allegiance for a clan maxes out at 150 allegiance.
>>1920229>>1920244If you read their ideas, everything is explained. They were Harmari mercenaries that tagged with one of the dwarven reclamationist expeditions, centuries ago. Expedition fell to an ambush, dwarves sacrificed themselves to save their allies, harmiari survived, but had no way back, so they slowly adopted to life underground
>>1920259wow another thing that rewards blobbing in the serpentspine
>>1920032>>1920032>Administration and military requires either primary culture to be of a certain race or have a percentage of development of an accepted culture of a race,When you're actually playing the game those are the requirements, yes, but there's nothing stopping them from making Lorent start with an accepted culture even with 0 dev on it, same for the racial admin system. Those are both easily modified.>I also don't like the change because from what I understood from the lore the nobles were mainly humans with some distant elven ancestry, as opposed to proper half-elves with an elf parent and a human parent.The nobility in most of Cannor are varying degrees of elf/human mixes (any "sil" dynasty is partially elven), but in Lorent and the other countries that were changed the elven side is especially prominent.
>>1920229A few versions ago they added a lot more racial diversity in various areas. Harpies in Gerudia and Yanshen, Trolls and Harimari in the Serpentspine, Gnomes in Kheterata, etc.
>>1920259Do you get that randomly or do you have to do something?
>>1920414It's just a random event. I got it as Masked Butcher so it's not even exclusive to dwarves.
>>1903562Is Stalbor MT fun?
>>1921593No.
>>1921594Got it
VGH, what could have been...This one was quite good. You can finish the final mission a lot faster if you're willing to exploit dev (you get an estate privilege that advances culture conversion if you exploit while converting). Time to try Masked Butcher now.
>>1921690Is that the demon religion? Does it give good bonuses?
>>1921769Yes and yes, it's basically a better Regent Court with the downside being that you get higher AE and everyone will hate your guts but if you're blobbing in Escann and trying to consolidate the continent before the consolidation wars end you're probably going to end up being the target of a coalition involving half of Cannor anyway.
>>1903562I have traveled far and long to ask this question:Do I need to know how to play EU4 to be able to play Anbennar or not?
>>1921779yesanbennar is eu4+you still need to know what the fuck you're doing basically
>>1921780So I can't start with Anbennar?
>>1921782I mean, I suppose you can play a basic bitch no mechanics nation in the empire and just... idk?what level of "not know how to play EU4" are we talking about here?
>>1921782You can, though you'll have a steep learning curve and if you ask someone a question about Anbennar mechanics you're likely to receive an answer meant for someone who already understands base EU4
How fun is Krakd- the fucking dwarves isolated in the northprobably a "colonize your mountain shithole and wait in speed 5 forever" playthrough, yeah?
>>1921787Colonize your mountain shithole and wait in speed 5 until you finally leave it and you can play the game.
>>1921792grimi'm just going to try venail againI got caught lacking in the midgame disaster and also colonized the wrong provinces, this time I know what to expect
Yeah jade dwarves are kinda boring I think I'm gonna play one of the jeets instead.
copper dwarfs look coolI might mod them to use merchant republic mechanics before I pay them though
>>1921787Actually more exciting than the other holds because they're forced into the open quickly and have to worry about grommbar.
>>1921824Your mission tree encourages you to directly own centers of trade and estuaries though.
>>1921796absolutely revolting first 30 yearsnot a SINGLE colonial event to be had
>>1921829cursed
>>1921831it's over...I find it pretty easy to maintain 100 naval tradition as Venail so super admirals are easy to get.
you know this got me thinkingdo they have something like christmas in Anbennar?
>>1921833the other super admiral AND the ruler also died within the same yearI just reloaded
>>1921779Like the other anon said yes and the game is generally even more complicated than vanilla, but it's also totally possible to learn the game while only playing Anbennar. I still think you should probably do a vanilla Spain or Portugal run just to learn the basics first but you don't need to be an expert at all to play the mod.
What are the lizardmen's aesthetic supposed to be? Are they aztec themed like every other lizard in fantasy?
zamn!
>>1921836Good, the sooner your ruler dies the sooner can you start farming a 6/6/6 that will last until the rianvisa
Question about Masked Butcher, spoilers aheadWhat happened to Eledas or whatever the exemplar's name was? In one event he was dragging Dom away from where Arianne was making her last stand, then I complete a mission and he's mentioning how surprisingly serious and meticulous the orcs are about their religious practices, and the next event I get he's seemingly gone and only Kalas, Dom and Royan are ever mentioned again. Did I miss an event?
>>1921878Some of the flags have a bit of a mesoamerican theme but that's basically it. Their language certainly isn't Aztec at all, according to the dictionary it's actually based on Abkhazian
>>1921926IIRC one of the events has someone mention that "we've lost 2 members already" or something along those lines implying that he died at some point but it's never actually shown in an event directly like the other characters.
>>1921929Those 2 members are the 2 girls. The event when Arianne separates from the groups starts with the other one dead from a recent orc attack
test
Is Rosande fun? On the first glance they looks like a chud Rogeria or a more fleshed out Blademarch.
Should I be purging dw*rves as Masked Butcher or will I need them for some missions later on?
>>1922095Don't purge anyone, you get religious actions that can help dealing with minorities.
>>1922095Later on you get missions to establish "racial reserves" (aka sapient livestock farms) in specific regions so that you get an infinitely replenishing supply to use for rituals, which makes trying to purge those races is a waste of time and you should only bother doing culture conversion outside of the preserve. Early on you get a dwarf reserve in Ovdal Tungr, kobolds in Gor Burad, and halflings in Hul Jorkad. There are also reserves for ogres/trolls/lizards/centaurs/ruinborn/gnomes but those are much later in the tree in farther off areas so I wouldn't worry about them, and there are goblin and elf reserves in the Deepwoods but you can skip creating them to get a nice buff instead. There is no human reserve since you're never going to run out of humans anyways.
>>1922133>halflings in Hul Jorkadhow does that happen?Do they just arbeit macht frei a bunch of halflings into Hul Jorkad?
>>1922134Basically. You just need to build a spy network in any country with halfling pops and then you'll kidnap some into Hul Jorkad. You can also use this to get Lizards, Ruinborn, Harimari, etc later on so you don't actually need to blob all over the world to reach them.
>>1922137Maybe I'll try out these masked niggas once I'm done with Aelnar
>>1903562Is Anbennar at 1.0 yet?
>>1921989Haven't played them but they're not a chud Rogeria at all. Their nation is the father of slavery in cannor.
>>1909130I know the warhammer fantasy mod for CK2 has genocide mechanics for some races, does the EU4 mod also have these mechanics?
>>1922190it doesn't have shit, it's 0.01 alpha
no clue what this mod is, are there any cool non-Tolkiencore factions or is it just elves and dwarves and whatever?
>>1922274It's much more like DnD than Warcraft. The most unique races are probably the Harimari who are philosopher-king warrior-poet tiger people in the Asian inspired region, and the Ruinborn who are former elves mutated in various ways by a magical explosion that destroyed their home continent. Other than that it's just all the standard DnD races (with the notable exception of no dragonborn) with fairly standard interpretations.
>>1922287Much more DnD than Tolkein, I mean. I meant to say there's also some notable Warcraft influence in how Orcs and to a lesser extent Goblins are depicted.
>>1922287>>1922289do they have Warforged or any other magical creatures like that?
>>1922318They're going to get added but they really don't like human assigned gender roles.
>>1922319>they really don't like human assigned gender rolesjust something to add flavor to their EU4 cultures, right?
>>1922318There's supposed to be Mechanim which are a robot/construct race, but their continent is still in development and they aren't actually in game yet (though they do appear in the pop menu). They probably won't be properly added until late 2025 at least.>>1922320In lore their continent gets colonised by humans from Cannor (the Europe equivalent). Since they're robots they have no native concept of gender but living under human culture forces it on them anyways which causes some issues.
>>1922325>There's supposed to be Mechanim which are a robot/construct raceexcellent, even better
>>1922163I've tried it. They are basically Lorentish Antebellum South, so basically Louisiana. It's played straight and their identity is just them being Lorentish and a huge slaver with no nuance whatsoever.
Can you not give Crathanor their independence when you're their overlord at all? I full annexed Ovdal Tungr as Masked Butcher and that gives me Crathanor as an Ilatani march, though I'd much rather leave them independent since I want to murder them later and they'll never have the +190 opinion needed to annex them. I can also ask to cancel Crathanor in the peace deal but that has a huge warscore cost and means I'll need 2 wars to eat up the dwarves.
>>1922381There's no option to cancel it in the diplomacy menu? Is Iltani March some kind of special subject or something? Easy way should be declaring war against some minor shithole without the allies, waiting for them to unconditionally surrender and then canceling your overlordship in the peace deal. You might also be able to annex Crah before taking the dorf hold, but it might not be very efficient
>>1922381Iltani March is a special subject type from Ovdal Tungr's mission tree so I don't know if you can cancel them outside of surrender cheese.
>>1922385>>1922387I ended up eating almost all of Crathanor in the peace deal and will finish both nations in another war later. It sucks that I won't be taking advantage of the free permanent claims like this but at least I won't have to fuck around with surrender cheese and giving Crathanor a 5 year truce that they'll use to ally half of Cannor.
