The Sharmat posted:So what, Seshnela, Arolanit, Tanisor, Tarsh, and a few other places use the feudal system. Loskalm and the Lunar Empire run with Byzantine rules more or less, almost everything else in Genertela is tribal? Ralios, especially in the very fertile Safelster region around lake Felster, is all city states, all intrigue all the time. Tough Orlanthi hillmen sell their services as mercenaries to the city dwelling westerners for use in their byzantine internal schemes.

Kralorea is urban feudalism, basically. Completely boring though. Praxians and Pentians are Nomads and the city-states of wenalia are similar to loskalm, though their position makes them workable as straight up merchant republics. (The genertelan equivalent of the silk road runs from seshnela to esrolia through wenalia and up through sartar and the grazelands to the heart of the lunar empire.) Mostali are not feudal, they are unplayable theocracies just straight up. Probably.

Thuryl posted:Also, if your quester has an unusual stat spread for the quest they're in or you're looking for certain specific treasures it can sometimes make sense to deliberately try and solve quests in nonstandard ways. Most quests give you options that go off-script a little but still allow completion of the quest, although some of those options are a better idea than others. e: I think that quest also has a different "right" path depending on whether your quester is male or female, too.

Not sure what you'd do with Ralios. Nochet works as a merchant republic probably, though most of Esrolia would be something more traditional (albeit with that one kind of succession law that nothing has in CK2). I'd just abstract Kralorela. It never interacts with much anyway. Have Pent, the Wastelands, and Teshnos be the eastern border of the map.

So in the LP I was able to double the number of weaponthanes in a few turns. - All 24 of my weaponthanes got wounded due to an event. - With my thanes wounded, the game counted me as having 0 - When I went to the recruitment screen, I was able to max out the slider and recruited 26 - Finally I sac'd to Chalana Arroy to heal wounds - I now have 50 weaponthanes. Now the thing I want to know is, is this intentional? Or gaming the system? It's not like I could have planned ahead for the random event wounding all my guys. I'm sliding towards clever use of game mechanics

You can pull a similar trick by sending a bunch of weaponthanes out to explore and recruiting before they come back.

Oh, sorry, Wenalia is similar to Loskalm, in a lot of ways, but I actually meant Safelster in this instance: City states by the water, with tribal barbarians in the uplands.

It looks as if 1200-1300 people is about the ceiling in terms of population, am I right? Anything beyond that and you're one bad harvest away from running out of food.

Ehhh not so much, 1200-1300 is about when the clan ties start to breakdown and splits become easier to deal with than the associated headaches of running a clan that big.

Just make a tribe and keep slamming unto the 1200-1400 ceiling. Then send them off and make your tribe full of clans that are all split off of your clan and love you. You basically get a lot of the benefits of a huge population and few of the drawbacks.

If your expected harvest is a couple hundred bushels greater than your population, the carls will stop trying to split the clan. Since expected harvests don't properly take crop blessings into account, if you have the major 3 and a high expected yield, 3 years of ordinary harvests will make you very, very wealthy indeed with regard to food. Frequently by a decade of play, I could stop farming entirely for 2 or 3 years and still be fine on food. The weapon thanes will continue to try to split the clan because it's too big and they don't want to follow orders from folks they are not related to, but honestly you can just give them some random gifts and maybe tell them to go kick a nerd and they will come back happy. Really, splitting the clan is up to whether or not you want to deal with the annoyance of the repetitive events. The negative effects are very controllable and the advantage of having thousands of dudes is considerable.

What are the downsides to clearing out all of your available land for crops and pastures? I guess I just don't see why you wouldn't do that since hunting produces such a lower yield than farming.

Hunters are useful for more than just food. They fight better than farmers, provide a small amount of goods from furs/horns/etc, improve exploration odds, and can help spot raids.

According to the manual, hunters produce 2 bushels of food a year. I've done maybe 30 playthroughs, and my most consistently likely to win strategy was maxing out hunters and skirmishing all the time, which is a low-risk, low-reward strategy all around. I'm not sure I've ever had a clan deathspiral while leaning heavily on hunters. Hunters own. PerniciousKnid posted:Pisses off the elves, right? Ugh dealing with elves. Also there's that whole fox event chain.

I remember when I used to play on desktop you'd never lose more than a few dozen bushels a year to spoilage, so if you were producing 1000+ crops you ended up with a massive stockpile.

It's harder to keep a massive stockpile but still completely possible. Working as intended, basically. Also regarding clearing forests, any pasture that isn't used due to not having enough cattle will revert to forest within a decade or so anyway. Its just not worth the trouble. Clear forests when are going to use that land, sure, but trying to terraform your tula is a waste of your time.

Finally decided to pony up the cash for the Guide, and holy hell. The worst thing about D&D was that it was Medieval Europe with magic crudely bolted on, and I've always wondered what a society besieged with magic and monsters would be structured. Now I'll never wonder what such a society looks like ever again, I can just look it up! I'll also never want for another setting ever again, as it's detailed enough to transplant a city from the Guide into a different world if need be, and it won't be any worse than normal settings!

True, I mean we know a bit of the history of all the others, but it can be a little hard to mash together all the "Historical" and "Mythical" bits for other nations. Plus we do have some understanding of Esroliam the Brinithi and sections of the West. It is just the East and some of the other lands we lack them for.

Not going to happen and it'd prolly be impossible to do properly, but I'd love if the new version/game let you play one of the mythical figures who turns up from nowhere and builds an entirely new civilisation by pulling bits from existing civs you come into contact with. Do I want to promote pacifism or should my people wear the skulls of my inevitable enemies? The challenge would come from seeing how long you could keep the game running before it all degenerates into godlearnerism and you go insane trying to build a new always was the one true god.

We do get to play as Sartar in the end bits of KoDP. But yeah, I think a cool thing would be doing something in the far west where you have the constant problem of "I have to both pay my taxes and have to deal with the occasionally Brinithi/Vadelli coming along and setting fire to things"

Hope this is the right place to ask - I'm trying to play this on a Galaxy Tab S2 and I can't get beyond the "Herocraft" splash screen to actually play the game. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Edit: Solved the original problem, but now it seems like it doesn't play nice with the Tab S2's screen size

Maybe contact Herocraft and ask them about compatibility with your particular model of phone. (it could be that the game doesn't recognize it and runs in tablet mode)
