My least favourite Anbennar update desu. None of the new trees I've tried have really kept interested and have just decided to use it as a chance to play the old countries I never got round to.

>Eborthil revamp when
First nation I ever played in Anbennar and I'm dreading that. They already nerfed their ideas, and made the official lore that they get raped by dogs so badly the entire island is empty when Busilar take over.
>>
>>2408649
All they need to do for the revamp is give it Sarhal and Insyaa content. Not fair for it at all to be such a good tree and stay outdated
>>
>>2408434
>How are you liking the new update lads?
Anon, I don't... Hyped magic rework turned out to be a slog. New continent is boring, there are like 7 good mission trees in this update. Developers call any notion of not liking any parts of their lore (not necessarily Insaya related, just some reddit posts) "4chan energy". I think Anbennar is dead at this point
>>
>>2408434
how to play this on RUNE version?
>>
>>2408434
EUIVfag here, I've spent a few thousand hours on the game and am looking to move on. How's Anbennar from a gameplay perspective? Are the mechanics substantially different or is it just the same shit with a coat of troonlore?
>>
>>2408453
Usually the provinces you wanna dev.
>>
>>2408729
Mechanics aren't that different. The coat of troonlore is only present in a couple of tranny tags or if you try to look into the victoria 3 canon that nobody cares about. If you want to play, just click on any tag that has a mission tree icon and try it out
>>
>>2408729
Some mechanics are different .e.g. magic, hold digging , but not too difficult to pick up. I'd recommend playing something like Verne, Istralore or Eborthil first to pick it up they're pretty close to base game nations but are involved with Anbennar mechanics.

If you're too scared of coalitions, know that AE works heavily on religion. I like to weaken the Human and elven tags so that the monsters kill em, and swoop in. Mix in humiliation of a NSC rival to get the age objective for extra 20% ae reduction and coalitions wont be much of a problem.

You can just change it so they did? It's a fictional setting. You can do whatever you want. There's a reason harimari are boring and no one likes playing in Rahen, it's because they are all the fucking same and do the same thing. Except the one tiger island, at least that's different. Maybe the cave tigers too if they ever got a tree

No.The jeets are content to serve under their tiger overlords.

I remember the western pakis being inbred and isolationist, the northern VGHers being THE human supremacist tag in the raj and the eastern elephant kings being human focused but mostly about breeding elephants.

All this talk about Harpies being for trannies and yet they're a monosex female species that looks for males of compatible species to FUCK. If they were troon coded you'd expect an entire MT to be about how lesbian they are (looking at you, Vels Faldecai)

wtf is irsmahap
is that new? i remember aback in my day gnollakjaz wopowned owned that bit of land
>>
>>2409585
Yeah Rakkaz tree spawned it. You force Gnollakaz into a war and when you occupy their capital and have 90% warscore, you complete a mission which forces a peace that gives you a bunch of their land and spawns Irsmahap.
>>
>borders the shrek swamp
pass from me, you'll see why

I'm curious to see this mission tree, because I think I found something potentially game breaking. Might be impossible due to Mechanics. Playing Busilar Gnolls (not going to attempt that name from memory) and couldn't take all of Busilar in one war, in particular Port Jaher needed for a mission was far too expensive in AE so I focused on the Ebothil crossing, I needed that gold. Sugamber came and finished off Busilar, and most importantly, adding Port Jaher to the Empire.

Due to not being able to easily expand into the EoA, I focused south and was looking at the Konolkhatep requirements, silly me didn't see the religion requirement and I flipped to Regeant Court and then Corin when de-monsterizing. Read the fine print folks. Anyway, a mission makes Port Jaher your new capital, basically forcing your way into the EoA as a member as your new capital is a province in the EoA. Question is, could I do that and be the Steward of Sorrow? Cause eventually you can potentially be both Emperor of Anbennar and the Steward of Sorrow, or is that not allowed by game mechanics?

Going to give it a try when I finish the Busilar Gnolls mission tree. Just thought I would share here in case any others want to try, or to save my time by getting told the two unique empire mechanics are not compatible.
>>
>>2409589
Why do you think I didn't take the province bordering it. I'll be fine. Probably. The mission tree might have something to deal with them.

Why is there an island with two urban terrain provinces down here? Its the most sparsely populated part of the map.
>>
>>2409592
Does your mission tree eventually expand? Silly question maybe, but I was fooled one by not Korea so better to ask then waste time on something unfinished.
>>
>>2409608
If you read the ideas of the nation on the island it might talk about it.
>>
>>2409592
You should've first grabbed all the lands bordering the empire so Sugamber wouldnt take land and since your MT wants you to hold a line of forts there. You're also not meant to form Konolkhatep since halfway through your MT it forces you to go a cannorian religion and the MT tells you this will lock you out of konolkhatep unless you convert to a khet religion. I never got added to the empire when I took that mission that moves your capital, so I don't know.
>>2409611
It expands when you complete a home in the hills
>>
>>2409615
If anything it confuses me even more this entire island is a generic African slum city on an island in the middle of nowhere that at one point lost every boat it had and just descended into poverty rather than everyone dying of famine who descend from some random trbes that got stuck there

While the flavor isn't a good fit for that, you know what is? Khetist Harimari. Shit fits so damn well it's a shame they can't actually do it
>>
>>2409730
Khets are unable (or at least unwilling) to leave The Sorrow (not-Nile)

Harimari make most sense if you headcanon them only being able to exist in Haless (high-density populations of large obligate carnivores much more plausible if they get at least some of their calories from ambient magic and/or the spirit realm.)

(I think there's an actual canon explanation with Centaurs that's similar, when they "graze" they don't literally eat grass like horses, instead sapping life force from the steppe by simply trampling it.)
>>
>>2409255
Unfortunately they are listed the same as humans in the mod so either selectively kill their cultures (other humans will hate you for some reason) or put them in a caste system like the sun elfs or the harimari.

What is the norm for how harpies treat their mates?
>pump and dump rape
>sex slaves
>husbands
>polyandry
>>
>>2409798
Mostly first one, but it depends on their position on society and where are they from. Harpy Queens have harems, some harpies from harpy hills have working relationship with the men from Gelkalis, and those from Elayenna have similar thing with Jaddari Desert Elves. The ones from Duwarkami are fully integrated into the Kheteratan society, so I guess they have regular marriages. Vaegenheim harpies are also integrated with the whole Skalhydric faith, so I guess marriages/consensual flings. Not sure about Siadan and Mulen, Siadani ones seem rather rapey.

speaking of, is the new vanrahar tree worth going through another tujgal game? only 1 event to make humans pay more tax and no downside to going suhans felt weird as fuck
>>
>>2410169
You culture convert a lot of human provinces(not purging because you need your dalit slaves) and the narrative of the MT is against Suhan and the MT hints that a race war will happen in the future with the Blood Lotus. It's worth it if you want to just have an easy game with your busted shock modifiers.

It kinds runs the gambit of all those. Harpy heirs get events to meet their fathers so its not like one night stands since they maintain knowledge of who those people are. Some events talk about husbands as well. Overall the mod has been trying to remove a lot of the rape that used to be explicit in harpy events and religious interactions
