Part 1/? Of a series of posts I'm planning. Can either be for gameplay (leader trait in this case) for character/esthetic/flavor. Optionally, can provide both if they are seperate things.
GLORY TO MARELANDIA AND BIG SISTER
((Never did i think id not only rp as a rainworld character, but be the SECOND person to do so. Hope to see more of em soon))
The king was... uncertain, to say the least. It was an unusual situation, for Arthur to want to leave his kingdom and return to the other world. But there was... Something, about the way that girl had challenged his very beliefs that was almost respect. "Nonsense. I'd sooner proclaim myself mad than have respect for such insolence..." Regardless, the thought nagged at his mind, and it would only grow more sure by the day. Thus, his mind was set. For a myriad of reasons (and excuses), we was plotting a trip to the other world. Now... who to leave charge the care of his kingdom in his absence...
(Mainly foreshadowing his full return and getting back into the groove of his character, but still interactable if you wish)
(Im planning on returning but only with my Arthur Sonic for now and the post plotted out but it needs it to be later on where the situation is more dire, and have had this thought up since the Metal Virus Arc was voted for like months back .) And to be clear, I'm NOT trying to rush things, just thought this was funny, especially since ive been so absent anyway
Just a bit of casual discussion, whats yalls favorite minor nation. I'd have to say Roam (for everything BUT the dreaded generic focus tree) or Barrad, for all the secretive routes there are. Lan Kir ALMOST, but the avarice/bloodlust mechanic ruins everything
I've doen a couple attempts at forming the Ascendancy after having a bad time with star mountain, and can never fet the event with the millitary agreeing to fire after the first civil war, so im kinda stuck since none of the guides I found mention what makes the evenf fire beyond 'shortly after the Civil war', or when 'they are close to capitulating', without mentiong which sides has to be close to capping (ive had either side get to like 80% cap progress so i dunno). Can anyone more knowledgeable about this can provide insight?
Playing as the Katzenreich thing, having a good ol fun stomp through zebrica, til I hit this infuriatingly impossiboe obstacle. They can't attack you, because they have either a basically or literally nonexistent navy, but they have some kind of absurd bonuses on defense because no matter how many times I try to launch invasions, I just get forced back to sea because I can only bring 4 marine divisions and can only plot 1 naval invasion at a time, plus the marine pathfinding just... SUCKS. (They take literally the single longest pathway to the spot unless I literally spawn them on the state i launch the invasion from). Like i had 280 days and just had to sit there pathetically trying over and over again while desperately trying to research anything that might give my Marines the slightest edge to take the singular port that the dragons have so i can storm in my armada and crush them all.
But seriously, why tf does the focus make me wage war on them, literally any other country in Zebrica would have been a better choice
Its just they seem incredibly underpowered for what they have to do; ie a constant two front war against the dominant power (solar empire or changelings) and the Confederacy down south. There just isn't enough units for either border and I quickly either get pushed or just lose too many units and then get pushed. Like do I need to make changings go harmonize so I 'only' have to fight solar empire
Solar empire. I could never get it to trigger to get the option to ascend or anything, it always gets stuck at 'Overwhelmed', and 'clinging to their old ways', despite losing almost all of Equestria (barely holding canterlot and like 3-4 hundred thousand casualties on my side). What does it take to trigger it (also how would I go about getting a peace time solar empire for the civil war?)
for reference, after doing their final focus dread leauge with one of the april fools settings, (a kind of hidden faction) automatically declares war on anyone they touch. by sheer technicality, I am in a war that contains every nation on grifonnia or equestria. (i do not have enough units for either one of those, let alone both)... I might send a couple naval invasions down to zebrica so i can have everyone in one massive war.
the faction you get if playing as new mareland with the alicorn diarchy switch on. You get the goal of conquering all of griffonia so you can then invade equestria to retake the position of the two sisters since they get blocked out. Incredibly op as you can guess, with some ridiculous buffs. switch leader portrait submod is on for that incredible peak btw. you get to constantly expand with your effectively infinite ponypower and immense economy at the cost of zero stability 99% of the time
(Cat pics just cuz, feel free to share any pet pics you have)
For a while I lost interest and just forgot about the sub, but corresponding to seeing it more a flame of interest has been lit. SO, whats been going on lately yall? Just gonna do some conversion with everyone while I figure out whats gone on in my absence. The HEHE will HAHAUGH once more
Like, they can't make any progress on me, and I can't make progress on them. I kill any naval invasion they send, and the few I've sent just permanently stall up after running out of supplies before managing to claim any full state. For reference i dropped 4 marine divs (the default marine division except with 4 amphibious tanks) on pires do mar, and 6 light tanks on the little city to the south, but i couldn't push more very far at all. I loaded to a save about a year and a half before I declare war, so should have some time to implement your solutions.
Edit: Thanks yall your advice was very helpful
As communist hippogriffia on civilian in the midst of the north zebrican war, i check my decisions and then discover that, somehow I did... this to seaquestria lmao. (at the time i had somewhere under 70k casualties, don't remember specifics )
Bullying lighter missions with my new atlas and just had to share ts
Ball if you know No.3
Number 5 here exists just to die and traumatize Midnight (number 4) lmao. The other two are just random things I made with a general theming in mind
Basically the original variation but everyone remaining has knowledge that a certain percent of people have already voted blue, and they have been every single vote so far. What percentage gets you to press blue, just so we can see what level of risk people are willing to take
I tried to launch kyber for the first time today after connectin to ea with my xbox account, where i bought the celebration editon of the game, and the next thing says I dont own the game???
Is there a way to fix this so I can play kyber, or do I need to buy it on steam or EA?
Thats it. Mod appreciation post. This sub is amazingly moderated, especially considering the entite premise at first it came from
So i was just playing ulc, grinding the last bit of exp I needed to get fell dust waterfall and upg2 for revenge, then i logged off when getting both, thats fine right? Nope, apparently fuck me I guess since I logged back in after a quick break to test him out and lost about 300 exp on both and 8 wins. How tf does this even happen
