Just wanna say, there is one other way you can get tribal dev growth, the mission “co-operation with other clans” gives an enormous boost, to the point that I think someone typoed a decimal place. It’s way out of line with other tribal dev growth boosts and lets you settle a lot of land really fast

Been interested in this mod but never really known where to begin. Looking forward to this.

I've started an Esthil playthrough, since we missed out on it. It hasn't been too confusing so far even though I haven't played the natives before in vanilla EU4, so I think starting as an adventurer group in Escann might be good for anyone else who wants to dip their toes into the mod. Finnish Flasher posted:Now what's this about mandatory orc-gfs? I think that was one of the options that wasn't picked. But this chieftain seems interested in 'peaceful' conquest so perhaps it is still on the table?

I mean, we're playing a nation of orcs, orc GFs are probably the default

There's the hidden, forbidden Orcish Formable in the Deepwoods. The one where the Fae go "gently caress it lets back Team Orc" in an attempt to get revenge on humanity, deciding that the elves aren't good enough to do it.

So, goblins are gonna be known for slapdash, explosive engineering someday? Are there any notable subversions of fantasy tropes in Anbennar?

Hobgoblins are sorta-Japanese culturally, there's no Japan equivalent geographically. There's a race of tiger people in not-India/China who are just tigers standing on two legs rather than furries.

There’s an orc formable in Anbennar’s Middle East equivalent that gets orc guilt and decides to become the protectors of humanity and liberate them from their Elven oppressors There’s also hitler elves

The advisor pictures for each race are wonderful. Also the Mission Trees are where Anbennar keeps most of the dumb references.

SirPhoebos posted:The advisor pictures for each race are wonderful. The MT flavour, tone, and writing quality varies wildly between tags. Some are silly and packed with dumb references, some are more serious. The mod is a giant collaboration with a lot of different writers. I’m doing a Barumand run atm and sadly their writing seems pretty ho-hum but some of the other tags are really well written.

Orc tags definitely need some more love, but I think they're getting more attention right now. I think the Orc nation OP is going for is fairly middle of the road "we want a homeland" but isn't going full integration with the humans OR full on genocide, so like someone described, some liberal orcish self-determination.

PurpleXVI posted:You know, in hindsight, I'm curious why this ended up as an EU4 mod rather than a CK3 mod. It feels like it's crying out for the more character-focused mechanics of CK3. I believe the origin for the setting was basically 'what if the French revolution took place in a high fantasy DnD world against a magocratic monarchy after the discovery of anti-magic bullets', and everything since has been worked back in one way or another from that. Anyway, heck yes, let's get this show on the road and start the ball rolling - I love the orcish religion early game, being able to pop a bonus at just the right time to cinch a battle/win a siege race is just fantastic.

Looks like our orcish nation has no orcs. The population is all goblin and half-orc (judging from the races screenshot). Did the OP pick a goblin country led by a orc instead of a true orcish land?

Thinking of Goblin countries in the Dwarovar, you've got Railskulker who go full rail technocracy, you've got Truedagger who rule by backstabbing and have orcs and dwarves fight in a colosseum, you've got Greedy Grin who are all about GOLD and you've got Chaingrasper who is the necromancer Goblin nation lead by a lich. So there's variety there! There isn't a Goblin formable in Escann yet. Kanthulhu posted:Looks like our orcish nation has no orcs. The population is all goblin and half-orc (judging from the races screenshot). Our army and ruling administration is made of orcs, but it does seem like most of your population is goblins and half-orcs, yes. We're gonna have to deal with that eventually, either through integration or expelling/purging. Personally I usually go with integrating when I can, because I looove stacking bonuses.

I'm pretty sure the species breakdown in those pictures isn't accurate; you can see in the shots of the government tab that 100% of all core province development is green orc culture. It's just a consequence of the pop system being somewhat kludged together and only updating every couple of months for performance reasons, I've noticed before that it also takes a while to properly initialize the majority pops on starting a game.

And if we ever get a Mage ruler you gotta wait a month to see what magic schools they're good at.

I'm surprised to see the level of oppression there is against some of the others as Goblins tend to go hand in hand in with Orcs in numerous fantasy tropes. It's quite nice to start with a clean slate with plenty of opportunities to make friends and/or exterminate freely.

It's quite nice to start with a clean slate with plenty of opportunities to make friends and/or exterminate freely. They're usually lumped together as 'evil' races but neither are particularly evil in Anbennar. More chaotic neutral for the most part. There isn't too much willing co-existance between them. The serpentspine goblin countries got hosed up by the greentide as much as Escann did. And like The Command (hobgoblins) use Orcs as basically janissaries

I'm looking at the weekend for the next update, maybe, since I've got some holiday stuff coming up. I'll see when I can squeeze some time to do it. I'm thinking of trying to conquer Marrhold as soon as I get a good opportunity. It's good land, and more importantly it would get us Feudalism. And as long as we don't have Feudalism, technology is more expensive. It would also let us integrate humans faster if we want to go for Orc multiculturalism which seems to be what the thread wants. Furthermore Dwarven Holds are incredibly good. Money-making machines.
