Hesse was so ahead of his time

Reading steppenwolf, and I can’t believe Hesse came up with the tomboy mother gf in 1927. A true innovator I wish I could show him how his ideas have finally become mainstream.

Things I’ve figured out about combat so far

I’ve mainly been playing this game for the combat, with the city building to the side as a fun way to visually see the loot I’ve gained. I’ve played human only mostly but sometimes with the man-eating elves. So far I’ve learned:

* Spears are good for defense, Falx are good for offense. Hammers are a little worse than falx and
Spears are a little worse than short swords.

* Training matters the most for bows. They are practically useless below 50 percent bow experience.

* Charging doesn’t do much on infantry, but is the way to go on cavalry with repeated cycle charges to avoid losing men.

* The Sanctuary races are a cheat code basically and can easily beat jaw dropping odds. 1:50 at least, probably more with more equipment and training. The only way I could think of beating them is archer spam.

* Armor is pretty self explanatory.

* Baiting one unit away from the rest and surrounding it while cycle charging is highly effective and lets you cheese giant battles.

* Don’t be intimidated by large sizes, the AI likes to train dogshit regional divisions in large quantities.

* Mecenaries are actually pretty accurate in this game, being highly effective just like real life.

* when surrounding one unit with two or more keep the unit being targeted on guard mode and the unit not being targeted off. This will result in more kills and a faster morale break.

I understand there’s more of an emphasis on training and equipment than something like total war since the core of the game is city building, but I hope this helps someone. If I got something wrong be sure to correct me, as I’m basing this off feels mostly.

If anyone knows:
Whether armor values affect speed,
A good way for taking down sanctuary races, because I assume the AI can use them, and I have nothing really to combat it.

Hopped on Vyvanse today and had the most relaxing and productive day of my life

Started on 30mg of Vyvanse today, took it at about 10am. Managed to finish everything and more I had planned for the day. Also I somehow managed to get everything done early, and took the first nap I’ve ever taken on in my life (excluding planes). Never ever felt so focused and that my mind was so quiet. Didn’t really feel any negative side effects, really felt like I was still me. If you’re on the fence about getting medicated I suggest trying it.

Any advice/suggestions? And before you ask, no I have not found a woman willing to do this, as I am an unemployed NEET.

How do I escape this cycle

I was running out of food, but then defeated a bandit (incredibly hard battle) got the reward money, used the money to buy mercenaries to invade and enslave my neighbor because I needed more food than I had.Immediately had to sell the slaves, as they nuked public order.

I keep doing this over and over. I can’t stop because otherwise I’ll run out of money to buy shit to feed my people. Everyone hates me and wants to invade me because I’ve looted and enslaved every single city I’ve taken. I can’t even make a proper empire because they’ll revolt too fast.

How do I put an end to this? Is there an end? Please advise.

Looking for a less headache inducing permanent privacy distro

I’ve been using Qubes OS as a permanent privacy distro solution but it’s been very annoying to do anything at all (downloading firmware/ opening a browser, etc). I decided that for **Me personally** the hassle isn’t worth the improved security. Is there another distro out there which I can slap on my machine that also focuses on persistent privacy?

What is a good Smokey perfume?

I was hanging out by the fire the other day for a hot minute, and afterwards I had this Smokey sort of scent that stuck to my clothes. Are there any sort of perfumes give that campfire sort of scent?

public WiFi networks not showing up

I’m in an overpriced coffee shop in a mall with my laptop running qubes. All the PSK protected networks show up, but the public WiFi networks don’t show up in the list of available networks. Is there a setting in sys-net I need to change to make them show up?

Long term effects of playing this game

I was out on a walk and saw a hill with a forested area off to the side. The first thing I thought of was that I should run my arquebusiers up it and hide my Calvary in the forest to hammer on my pikemen 😭😭. I need to take a break and touch grass.

How many men do the mongols have???

It’s about turn 115 and I’ve been constantly breaking doom stacks with schiltrom spear levy cheese combined with sending out knights on crazy general assassination missions. I think I’ve taken out about 5 or 6 full stacks of horseflesh from the walls of Jerusalem. I also have unlocked pikeman (but no gunpowder) which I’ve been using to impale these bony bastards. When do the mongols get out of horde mode and start acting like a normal faction?
