    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I got around the follower limit by choosing the settler group origin, but I crashed twice while setting up my town.Press F5 often mmmkay? Shit is discouraging. Also my group got rolled a few times by wandering bandit mobs as we set up camp. I didn't try to develop my crew at all, I just...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Trust (basically long duration of peace) builds up to +40 which helps counter the tax issue, as does military strength which can go up to +20 iirc. diplomatic reputation matters, and you can get +dip rep modifiers with an advisor and a few idea groups. But I just devoured Korea by force...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I gave the demo a shot, and I think it has promise. Yea, it's far from ready, but they're not hiding that. The demo limits you to one follower, which seemed to be the biggest hurdle in progressing. I was making tons of cash and slowly working up my stats kiting bandits to town guards, but...

    Not sure what page this thread was on. I gave up when I reached 11 and googled the thread. I just wanted to insert this gem before I forgot about it.

    I love Eckhart, but he goes in for so many terrible roles (Olympus).Fun interview with him:Aaron Eckhart: 'You're giving me a heart attack' | Film | The Guardian. He mentions being dissatisfied with his character's behavior at one point. Conversations with Women (mentioned in article) is...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    I need to check this out. It's nice to see more stuff like M&B being made. I'm really interested in the city building aspect. I don't like the static nature of M&B's settlements. I'd love to try playing something like this in the vein of the roman conquest of hispania and gaul, where they...

    Europa Universalis IV

    You can increase relations with small monarchies as a monarchy in order to vassalize them diplomatically and then annex them later. You can minimize aggression by using casus belli of different types to conquer provinces and/or vassalize the state in the war and annex them later through...

    Elysium

    Well I didn't expect much, but it was alright. We were making jokes about some of the tech during the film, and the way everything panned out was very cliche.

    EQ Never

    He begins with some decent points, but he goes on to use them to poorly found conclusions about features like perma death and instancing. He's a hardcore dumbass with apparently no comprehension that the internet isn't as reliable as his kitchen faucet. One of his later points is that you...

    Total War series

    In order to deal with hunger and squalor I have to build my provinces to be 99% the same. A grain farm+grove in minors and circus+grove+delicatessen+order temple/fountain in capitals. Most docks are fisheries and I have maybe three military devoted provinces with blacksmiths and recruitment...

    SimCity

    They could cosmetically allow for urban sprawl graphics between cities as the cities get larger. That would probably console a few who have aesthetic issues with the current situation. I don't mind the size so long as they continue to expand the depth. I enjoyed that there was more I could...

    Total War series

    Yea, food and happiness is overkill. We should be able to explore more building types than we currently can. I played with a mod that halved squalor and hunger before trying more comprehensive mods, and I miss having the flexibility to specialize my cities.

    Sopatch 3 is outandpatch 4 is in beta. Their patches are stupidly gigantic. I'm curious if their QA is just two guys or something. How can they still be fixing so much shit. One of the notes for patch 4 is trade deals and the such will be easier to get. This pleases me. Here are the...

    SimCity

    RCI tuning has been frequent. I've seen notes about how rich people will shop at high wealth commercial and how said commercial will more likely be built near high wealth residential, etc. Part of the problem with the RCI was that the sims didn't correspond to the buildings, so buildings would...

    Nearly every patch has included a response to traffic issues, mostly those caused by service vehicles ala fire/police/school/trash, and industrial freight is actually needed for commercial now. I've yet to test this stuff. I last tried like 4 months ago and the traffic glitches were still a...

    Just saw it for the first time. Holy shit at the stupid shit in it, but at least they try to make sure you realize it's a light film. Shit like the punch into the office building slightly tapping the newton's cradle, ron perlman's character (especially the last part he's in, and then the...

    Mistborn is solid. It's better than average, and the particular kink of "magic" might appeal to you.

    RIP Tom Clancy

    Yea, I really enjoyed his early work. I just stopped reading his stuff one day b/c the newest one I bought felt more like political propaganda than a plausible series of events. I still value the early stuff a lot though.

    I don't know where you know that the plan is to follow the Avengers. I figure these semi-regular folks ARE the show. Superheroes would trivialize their encounters.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Well a common mistake is spending too much on conquests and/or buildings. Buildings are good for income and forcelimits, but beyond having the money to defend yourself and hire rank 3 advisors you don't need to spend points on them. So don't go developing infrastructure where it isn't needed...

    I'm usingSTIMatm, it has some balance changes and an optional 2 turns per year (2TPY), which I'm using. I'm a huge advocate of 2TPY now. Experience scaling for agents and leaders might need to be toned down a tiny bit, but I can actually invest some time into making a general rank 7 or 8...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Portugal is sometimes considered the beginner country of EU. They're shielded from a lot of problems that happen in Europe such as France, Austria, Poland, Turkey, the reformation, etc. And they get to pick and choose how they approach trade and colonization with the best spot in the game.

    Brandon Sanderson is god. Malazan and WoT both get weaker in the latter half of the series, but WoT starts out stronger. I haven't read Sanderson's ending to the series b/c I haven't read Jordan's last few contributions b/c they suck.

    Corruption %, trading partners, limiting a border against raiders would all be good reasons to establish clients, but they don't really apply sadly. Also client states seem to take like 4x longer when loading AI turns. I've given up trying to have client states. They're crap. Right now I'm...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Really the constant criticism I have of all their games. V2 has the economy mini-game, and CK2 has the fuedalism one, but they're both easy to trivialize so they boil down to waiting out truce periods and infamy/agression penalties as well. There should be substantially more to do...
