Well guess my first run of the new DLC is over.

Started as a scholar adventurer with the goal of a rag to riches story to become pope. Went around northern Italy and Germany farming aura piety and cash with my merry band of virgins, had no idea how to actually make the step to priesthood.

After faffing about for a decade chatgpt a divine voice told me I had to do the Buy Sacred Land choice from someone who A) I had done a mission for and B) Had a spare temple laying around (who doesn't these days).

Queue me mercilessly right clicking all over Europe to find the few people who where anything close to those 2 criteria. Boom, one of the Karlings (the grey blob one) had a temple and apparently I worked for before, BUT WAIT, I was gallowsbait because I refused to sleep in a crappy bed once, so I had to pay indulgences like a good christian ofc. One washing of hands later and presto, I was the Bishop of Candy or some german backyard whatever.

But what you weren't expecting dear reader, is that I've went and took the one tenet that makes it so I can just straight up buy clerical titles, Simony. Apparently that shit is cracked 'cus I just walked up to the Pope and he sold me the Arch-Bishopry of Romagna, for peanuts too.

So now I was one step removed from the Pope, time inmerse myself into the complex backstabbing of the College of Cardinals! Nvm my dude died, but hey, since he was lowborn I played as his highest title not his children, and the Arch-Bishopry of Romagna went to the next Pope. So mission complete, i guess?

First off playing as Head of Rite sucks dick. Because your title is handed from one old man to the next you barely play 10 years as each character before they get Joe Biden'd, and the fact they are not blood related makes it very, very hard to get attached to any of them. Not caring who your playable character is massively reduces inmersion.

This is when I realized Head of Rite and Head of Faith are 2 different things. I was a Pope but not the Pope. And you cant become The Pope until the Schism happens. Thus my next goal would be to mend the schisms since you know, how hard could it be.

Ooooh boy that one is tricky. Not entirely hard per se but if you aren't prepared (like 2 characters worth of preparing) it's impossible. The hard bit is getting 7 influential religious characters to pass a check to agree with mending the schism and then they have to be either Hook or Special Relationship to you (alternatively get 2 holy sites, you already own Rome but good fucking luck getting any of the others). If you refer to one of the previous paragraphs, I stopped caring about who I played as, so I ended up with a Steward Pope (which to be fair did print copious amounts of cash) when this basically requires a Diplomacy or Intrigue Pope. And you have a very limited time window to achieves this, a single faith chapter, which lasts less than a decade.

Anyhoo this post is getting too long. I failed, the Schism happened, I was the Catholic Pope for real, inmediately declared a Crusade for Jerusalem and the Muslims wiped the floor with the Christians, which is when I decided the campaign had failed.

7/10 in nomini pater, the kid and holy spirit amen.

Tried to get into the game twice but fallen off both times, any advice?

I simply don't undertand why the game isn't clicking with me, I both love warhammer fantasy and grindy MMOs, yet the 2 times I've installed the game I end up losing interest and drifting away until I uninstall it to make hard drive space.

My first was like a year ago, I made a Magus because I love summoning and Tzeentch, didn't really vibe with the class since the summons are shitty turrets and you end up throwing fireballs anyways. Finished the entire Norsca region and moved to Nordland. Then I was told I was playing the game wrong for questing, and apparently I'm supposed to just join a pvp zerg rush until I hate max level then quest? I don't really understand the progression system.

I doesn't bother me to be told I was doing it wrong since I very much care about efficiency, I like to do everything in my characters.

The early zones feel very much dead, I assume everyone is already at the end zones.

Alguien con experiencia en colmados o negocios que me pueda aconsejar?

Basicamente mi papa es dueño de un colmado. El pobre me da pena ya porque desde que tengo memoria vive pasando lucha con los deliveries. En resumen, no hay peores empleados en la bolita del mundo, son vagos, ladrones, etc. No le duran nada.

Ya hasta el mas ignorante se sabe el rejuego de aguantar 3 meses luego volverse una mierda para que lo boten y cobrar liquidacion, pero ya los ultimos que encuentra son tan inutiles que ni a eso llegan. Llegan borrachos al trabajo, llegan tarde, etc.

El es un hombre mayor ya y su salud no le permite estar cogiendo lucha y pique con esos gusarapos, por al mismo tiempo el don esta atrapado en el siglo pasado y se reusa a coger pedidos por whatsapp o usar aplicaciones de envio. Sigue con el sistemica de coger el telefono y anotar en un papel.

Alguien sabe como lo puedo ayudar?

Just dropped from a fellowship and don't know how to carry on.

Title.

Graduated 2 years ago, managed to get into a fellow I wanted in another country. Inmediately crash and burn as my first impression leaves much to be desired, my skills are sorely lacking, I ''seem to lack passion'' and commit mistake after mistake.

After a couple of months of enduring I have a tough performance review and conclude it is best for me to leave rather than continue to smash against a wall and inevitable be removed the hard way later on.

I still wouldnt choose any of subspecialty, and don't want to stay General the rest of my life. But I'm genuinely scared to apply to another program elsewhere and have a repeat of the same.

Can anyone relate to this? It was honestly worse than my first year of residency.
