Make up Civilization tech quotes

For people unfamiliar with the game, after researching a new technology you would get a relevant quote from a famous person.

For example upon researching Biology

>If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.

or Future Tech

>I think we can agree: The past is over.

Ideally adding a philomenic twist to it.

[P5V12 HY5P1] Contradiction?

In the beginning Hannelore recounts the bride taking sitter Game as if she and RM hadn't discussed that it was merely meant as a way to stop Lestilaut though I might be misremembering how things went back then.

There's a POV where Sieglinde discusses this with Sylvester too and iirc Hannelore is present there.

Edit:

While I was reading the first or second chapter I might have accidentally put a different perspective into the thoughts of Hannelore as I was reading it being kind of distracted in the bus. And now I can't find the relevant passage (that might never have existed, lol).

Feel free to ignore this, I'll delete it in the morrow.

[P5V12] Speed of Ordonanz

So for one they can be seen arriving and leaving and to some degree being followed (like when Letizia is searching for Roswitha), yet they seem to cover great distances, for example from Ilgner to Ehrenfest almost instantaneously it seems.

​

So how does it work exactly?

[V5P8]Follow your heart

This POV is exceptionally heartrending to me. Given society as it is I believe it not to be so uncommon for people to see themselves as mere 'feystones', cogs in the machine, their only purpose being for wealth to be created for others or their own to be extracted. A society where people's dreams are crushed before they can even form, left only with a quiet understanding of "that's just how it is".

​

But no more.

Edit, messed up the V and P parts...

[P5V8]Bijomonten or Bishomonten

If you allow me this little pun...

​

It is a portmanteau of bijo (beautiful adult woman) or bishojo (beautiful young woman) and Bishamonten, a prominent Japanese god of war.

​

Bishojomonten makes it a bit too much...

Scaling Intensified bonuses

Intensified magic let's you get more power from lower level spells. Are there other feats or items to scale it further than 5?

At some point there was a mod that was to include the sorcerer Blood Intensity Blood Mutation, I even can find it in the code through ToyBox, but it doesn't do anything.

I also haven't found a way to modify the intensity values or find a modifier to add such an ability to another feat or anything of the like.

[P5V6] Choices

Specifically the retainers choices chapter.

​

I can't help but laugh at the scene of Clarissa and Hartmut kneeling before her and I keep picturing them as two dogs, puppy eyed and wagging their tails waiting for the treat that is name swearing.

​

This is such a wonderful book series and I already lament that I'll be over so soon.

[P5V12]Curses?

Throughout the series there are plenty of blessings, shouldn't there be curses too? Like RM praying to the gods to smite Detlinde...

I guess that would bring way too many changes on to how different plot points would have resolved to make a completely different book.

What god would you even have to pray for?

[P5V12] P4V7 specifically, but spoilers for part 5.

Don't know what to put into the title without spoiling things, so here's my actual question. Rereading the whole series and right now I'm once again at P4V7 and near the end of it, the academy is attacked.

In Eglantine's epilogue Eglantine describes the attackers 'bloodshot' eyes and I've been wondering if the they were being manipulated with Trug. Sort of a test run for the coming invasion.

My experience is that going into a 40 CL build doesn't give you additional spell slots.

For example a wizard 20, arcane trickster 10, lore master 10 should grant you way more than the 4 per spell level you get as a level 20 wizard.

Is there a mod for this?

So basicalyl I wanted to do a gestalt as an School Savant (Arcanist) Rogue into Arcane Trickster, basically dropping Rogue to get to 30 caster level the easy way.

Turns out that doing so really messes with the spell book, which unlike Sorcerer, that simply gives you the additional spells, both spells known and how many you can cast, that you are supposed to have at that specific level without second thought. The progression for Arcanist completely different though, advancing so quickly through the levels apparently skips most of the background calculations and you'll end up with only two prepared spell slots per level.

So I was wondering if anyone knew about some workaround? Ideally there would be some button to "recalculate" those values based on your current level or something.

Somewhere in the files there should be a variable that handles this which I could maybe edit through ToyBox.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Let's say you have cloud lightning which has 100 percent armor and shield penetration.

But the enemy has 5 genius armorer councilors, so they get 100 shield and armor hardening.

That would cancel each other out.

However now you also have some weaver wave makers so your weapons have additional armor and shield penetration.

In this scenario would that mean that you still get 25 penetration (sometimes on some ships)?
