How Ukraine

red slate
# topaz hedge How Ukraine

Russia has always been bad in conventional military terms. The history of Russian (and Soviet) military history has been stained with countless failures.

topaz hedge
#

So I’m guessing it’s going fine for Ukraine

red slate
#

They lost WW1 even though they were with the Entente julianlol

topaz hedge
#

Just don’t tell ā€˜em about Russo-Japanese War

red slate
#

That too, first time an Asian country defeated a European power, and it wasn't even a contest.

#

The Battle of Tsushima (Japanese:åÆ¾é¦¬ę²–ęµ·ęˆ¦, Tsushimaoki-Kaisen, Russian: Цусимское сражение, Tsusimskoye srazheniye), also known as the Battle of Tsushima Strait and the Naval Battle of Sea of Japan (Japanese: ę—„ęœ¬ęµ·ęµ·ęˆ¦, Nihonkai-Kaisen) in Japan, was a major naval battle fought between Russia and Japan during the Russo-Japanese War. It was naval histor...

topaz hedge
#

It was more of Japan practicing their boxing skills with Russia as the punching bag

indigo oracle
#

So is the war at a cease fire

#

Or is Russia taking a nap

#

Or is fighting still bad

red slate
#

Fun fact, a guy who would later be known as Admiral Yamamoto lost two fingers in that battle, if he lost a third he would have been forcibly discharged.

topaz hedge

Wait Yamamoto lost 2 fingers?

Honestly, I don't think Ukraine will "win" this war, but they could probably keep Western Ukraine as an independent country.

they fucking bombing civ targets

on another completly unrelated note

what mouse would you guys recommend?

red slate
#

No matter what happens, this will be a pyrrhic victory for Russia at best, higher than expected resistance and much higher than expected sanctions. Russia thought they could probably swoop in and end all organized military resistance in 3 or 4 days.

karmic ether
#

i will take a look thanks

Russia became an international pariah state, and has probably drove Sweden and Finland into NATO.

I mean would Russia need to take over the entire country for Ukraine to surrender?

they think kiling Zelensky would

Either way, they got themselves into a forever war.

How many days will it take for the Russian economy to collapse?

I’ve seen estimates of 1-2 months to a year for oligarchs and Putin and such

For regular Russians, it’s collapsed

Oof

And they can’t even leave the country

Only time can tell the ultimate truth

Is Russia still getting food from the outside? Or is that not allowed under sanctions

red slate

It's not unrealistic to imagine a scenario where Russia and the United States went head to head, flexing their nuclear power, but how likely is that scenario to happen in the future?

Christ, tried Wargame Red Dragon and it is indeed very difficult, but in entirely different way than I expected it to be

#

Tried the soviet campaign and on turn 2 Japanese unironically drowned me in bodies in Ottori by throwing 2 tank armies of actual garbage tanks at my forces at me

125 tanks destroyed and they still won the battle by 2 points nightmarewarden

Really felt like an average day on Foxhole frontline once MPTs are teched

You just keep killing them, but they dont stop coming

I also can't for the life of me figure how to tell my units to orient armor preemptively, and I keep ending up with my T72 ambushes in the forest getting literally clowned upon because they begin firing with their sides towards the enemy so even 90mm garbo cannons still pen them

You just get pinged

fringe tusk
#

some of the time its a joke but

fringe tusk
#

other 75% feels not like a joke ig

#

dunno

jolly peak
fringe tusk
#

idk

#

like, context of it and stuff

jolly peak
#

Well feel is such a loose term

#

What does her tone convey

#

What’s your relationship like?

fringe tusk
#

eh

#

good ig

jolly peak
#

Neutral?

#

Is it tense? Uneasy?

fringe tusk
#

sometimes ig

#

usually is fine

#

sometimes feels like she doesnt care a ton tho

jolly peak
#

Sometimes? As in a weekly basis? Or monthly?

jolly peak
fringe tusk
#

like

#

she'll ask why i dont hang out with her and then when i try to she asks me to go away or do something else

jolly peak
#

Interesting

#

Now when you do try to hang out with her, what might she usually be doing?

fringe tusk
#

sometimes her teacher work

#

but not always so

jolly peak
#

Ah, well if it’s her work then she might be busy with that case

fringe tusk
#

fair yea

jolly peak
#

Yep, and I guarantee that you two might not be tense with your relationship

#

She’s a teacher from the sounds of it and such a career is possibly one of the most arduous out there

fringe tusk
#

fair yea

#

idk

#

sorry

jolly peak
#

Why are you apologizing?

fringe tusk
#

i dunno i say sorry too much

jolly peak
#

And why might that be?

fringe tusk
#

dunno

jolly peak
#

Hm

#

You have nothing to apologize for

#

So why do so?

fringe tusk
jolly peak
#

Then why do you do it, if you don’t know why? Why continue and persist

fringe tusk
#

I dunno I guess like

#

I don’t wanna make someone upset or mad and stuff

jolly peak
#

By apologizing over nothing?

fringe tusk
#

I guess

#

idk, like just incase they’re upset

jolly peak
#

Over what?

fringe tusk
#

I don’t know

jolly peak
#

Exactly, why fret over not knowing

fringe tusk
#

dunno

#

i get anxious over stuff easily

#

like

#

worrying what i said could be taken the wrong way and stuff

#

even if it was like days ago

jolly peak
#

Right

#

I think your issue is a lack of Moxie and self-esteem; confidence

#

If there’s nothing to fret over then why fret over it?

#

People might hold grudges sure, but not everyone

#

And even if you screw up in front of say, a stranger or cashier who cares what they might think about you later on

#

Especially someone at your age it’s important to learn that

#

There’s going to be a lot of dickwads and assholes later on in life, especially as you encroach on adulthood and onward, so it’s important that you can step over them and keep your chin up high

fringe tusk
#

yea

#

idk, i realize most of what im saying sorry for is probably nothing ig its just kinda hard

jolly peak
#

So that’s what you should work on

#

Being a stronger you, don’t be timid and naĆÆve

#

Build yourself up

#

Saying sorry often doesn’t even fix things when it is an incident caused by you, yes your acknowledgment is a first but if you truly feel bad about it you’d attempt to reconcile and repair even more so on whatever the situation prompted you to apologize

fringe tusk
#

yea

#

idk

fringe tusk
jolly peak
#

Don’t

#

Name one human being on this planet that has not fucked up

fringe tusk
#

i mean

what is the best way to tell someone to leave drugs

unique sorrel
#

Politely no clue

#

Impolitely send them videos of fucked up druggies and if you can find support groups then contacts to that maybe

keen saddle

start by making sure they know what drugs will do to their body

#

ask them why they started and why they continue

#

move on from there

#

just be slow as possible with it, if they run away from you because of this, then you are either back to square one, or just fucked completely

invictus looking epic

Nice looking main menu

karmic ether

yeah the company abandoned the game last year

#

so all updates are being developed by the community

#

even the art cover was made by them

worldly plaza
cosmic loom
#

Top quality shit.

worldly plaza
#

is that a mod?

karmic ether
#

it's invictus

#

basically the communty effort to update the game without paradox

#

they are even expading the map

#

this update brought more of marroco and the malvines

drowsy quail
#

Wait why did they remove the thread?

karmic ether
#

and while it does suck that paradox won't update the game anymore

last nebula
#

Yes

worldly plaza
karmic ether
#

it also means the mods won't break

#

yeah

worldly plaza
#

it's also a bit clunky to use, tbh. but that's just me.

last nebula
#

No the mods closed it

worldly plaza
#

oh

#

i stand corrected

karmic ether
#

they said they would get rid of it eventually

rapid kraken

Nah that was the auto archive length, I was just aware of when It would close and made you aware

karmic ether

your character feels way more real

#

i only play with the random world mod but damn is it fun

cosmic loom

It added a lot of RPG elements to a map painting game

karmic ether

which for CK3 works really well

cosmic loom
#

I really wish they would fully embrace that idea and make it so you can play a Wanderer or Adventurer.

karmic ether

yeah

i always wanted to play as unlanded characters

worldly plaza

yo Rommel, could you link me the invictus community or something. want to send it to a friend.

would appreciate it ā¤ļø

cosmic loom

Get funding from sponsors from courts, make your own mercenary band, build it up, overtake a small territory and play the game like normal from there. Or stay landless.

either works

Yes, but without the blobfest battles.

echo anchor
modern veldt
#

y'all...

#

i did it for the first time in my life, i created an empire in ck3 that spans over 170 regions

cosmic loom

I like CK3 taking that approach more than I do Mount and Blade, because CK3's approach to it would be more akin to DnD and table top games in general, with more dice rolls.

do they? you're referring to Tunis i believe, still

#

there's not much in lybia afair?

karmic ether

just the coast

#

everyone in the coast is a vassal of either carthage or ptolomy

#

in the deset they are all tribes

oh, right

wait psyllia is a vassal of one of the desert tribes so i guess you have a chance

mental haven
#

God look at all the city states in Greece

worldly plaza
#

im curious, Rommel

#

does the invictus mod change the balance of powers?

karmic ether
#

yeah it's a mess

worldly plaza
#

like my biggest issue with vanilla was how they made Rome incredibly strong early on, which is far from the case.

whole gale
#

Carthage becoming Romes's bitch in the end. With just one simple trick. Go to war with them three times and nearly collapsing from the war

worldly plaza
#

i get that Rome is supposed to be the massive expanding power but that could've een done through events if necessary, if playing with AI

karmic ether
#

but in paper Rome is still the strongest

worldly plaza
#

that's great to hear

#

oh, there are different... kinds of strength.

whole gale
#

Rome did one thing well. Pump out legions to keep throwing at the elephants

worldly plaza
#

i'd say that Rome needed to have its early power shaven off

#

because it starts with a "Kick-ass Tour of the Appenines", which isn't exactly accurate.

karmic ether
#

oh AI carthage has a chance in the punic wars against AI Rome

#

what makes Rome so strong is all the development in Italy but it doesn't start owning it, just in a great position to take it

whole gale
#

Poor Scipio being forgotten about

worldly plaza
#

my point is that Rome's emergence to power wasn't an easy path, not easily repeatable (nothing in history ever is, but still)

#

and if there is supposed to be a favorite in Italy, that's the Etruscans.

karmic ether
#

to be fair in a game called imperator rome most people will want to see Rome not getting imedietelly crushed by some random tribe they never heard before

#

my most fun game was invading ireland as anglia, then conquering the isles and just building cities and roads until the end date

worldly plaza
#

Yes, but again, that can be fixed with events granting you power (think of Lucky Nations in EU-IV)

whole gale
#

Rome would also absorb those cultures into itself eventually leading to the corrupt emperor stabbing rome we all love and know

worldly plaza
#

aka if the player doesn't succeed as Rome, he's given Italy on a silver platter.

hoary quiver
karmic ether
#

oh i thought you meant AI Rome

worldly plaza
#

Rather than being able to walk over Italy without persecution

karmic ether
#

i have seen them lose to the estrucans but they generally win

worldly plaza
#

No, I mean in general Rome's power as a faction ,but mostly in player hands, yes.

#

My problem also was that turning the difficulty up to the highest didn't help with making it challenging to "get started" as Rome.

#

Not like it aws difficult to get started in Greece or other region, that is.

#

AI Rome can be given /direct/ buffs to emerge, that's fair.

mental haven
#

I’ve always liked the look of this map like a century before tho I’m not too versed on the period of history to verify it with historical documentation

karmic ether
#

the challenge as Rome starts when you start to go up once you have to deal with the diadochi and the confederations

#

i think they designed rome in this game to be more about internal issues

worldly plaza
#

Well, my point is that Rome emerging as a primary power in Italy wasn't an easy path and the game didn't reflect that. :p

karmic ether
#

well this entire game is designed into internal issues

worldly plaza
#

tl;dr it should be more difficult to break out of Rome's status of a middle power into a large power.

karmic ether
#

yeah i see

worldly plaza
#

it should be more difficult to fight off the Etruscans and the southern coalitions

karmic ether
#

a player playing as the estrucans can do that very easily because paradox AI

whole gale
#

Romes largest threat always came from the inside indeed šŸ—”ļø

karmic ether
#

but taking over italy as rome is really easy

worldly plaza
#

again, just curious if that's addressed in any way in the mod (not that it necessarily should be)

karmic ether
#

they made everyone else less stupid

worldly plaza
#

i get you

karmic ether
#

but Rome is still generally king

worldly plaza
#

AI was dumdum

karmic ether
#

early game you can walk over everyone in italy

#

even with the mod

#

as rome

mental haven
#

What’s Italy look like in the mod

karmic ether
#

a lot of those minor coastal cities are roman vassals

#

in the south they are Syracussian vassals

echo anchor

#

That seems to be accurate enough for my eyes

karmic ether
#

also the anatolian tribes are cursed

uh huh

karmic ether
#

and you have the chaddest diadochi and the richest diadochi kingdom to play as
