Liberté! Egalité! Fraternité! (Follow-up to this old post) Bit of an odd progression of the revolution - it spawned in SIdon, Lebanon, from there spread across Anatolia and Egypt, made a jump to London and Borneo and eventually the Lowlands and western Italy. At the end of the game (which is to say, after I spread the revolution to 10 additional countries as the achievement demands), France has gone through the storm on the Bastile (Sept 1731), Robespierre's Terreur, a royal head getting chopped off (May 1732) First Consul Bonaparte (Dez 1732), and finally his self-proclaimation as Emperor Napoléon... but the revolution never "officially" spread to Paris. The closest to the French heartland it got is Picardy. One has to feel a little bad for Empress Jeanne die Savoia, first female ruler of France (apart from a short queen regency somewhere in the 16th century), who only ruled for five-ish years before the revolution arrived. But that is the price to pay for a small jpeg now being coloured in my Steam account. As these things go in EU4, the last 80 years weren't too interesting. Once the Ottomans were beaten, there was no threat left - the Mughals (the dark green blob in central Asia) were the closest, with about one third of my troop count (and I believe 40% of my force limit), but I never had a real reason to antagonise them. So basically, those 80 years were spent painting the map a nice shade of blue. Now, where to play on the newest patch.....

"We just think that states should be allowed to have their own legislature!", they said. Fucking ghouls.

I'm surprised. Your shit takes ought to have come from somewhere.

Needs a cold shower.

(Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett: Good Omens) I'm not surprised that you're ""visualising"" imaginary acts of heresy. I, for one, just bake cookies. And no, I don't do kitchen work in the nude.

Wraith, you are not you when you're hungry. Have a cookie.

Banned because Wraith is probably gathering firewood as we speak type.

Narrative justification to go for the powergaming (well, as power as gaming with Amelia can be) option. Truly the kryptonite for any anti-elitist gamer.

Banned for ranking some guy above the Emperor. I mean, I agree (whoever that Elric may be, it's not hard to be better than a corpse), but it's still a sign that your account might have been compromised.

That, or the Duke of Dorks.

I predict Yugi Muto as the next next Fire Emblem's protagonist.

Found an old picture of @Sidereal Wraith! (13 May 1956)

In BinBla? I disagree. He's your strongest unit in the first, what, 8-10 maps, but outside of ch.1 (which is technically beatable without him, I guess), he's never the guy doing everything for you. You get Deke and an Armourslayer in ch.2, Rutger in ch.4, and Zealot in ch.7, all the while Allen and Lance become more and more dependable. Plus, Marcus is fine-tuned to weaken, but not kill, every enemy on ch.1's map, which makes him the best Jeigan at actually jeiganing. BlaBla!Marcus is too strong, though.

BinBla!Marcus (seriously) and Sigurd (memetically) have been the most well-done Jeigans in the series, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the classic Pala-Jeigan archetype.

Haha, I'm being just a litle facetious. I'm not reading through, what, ten pages worth of new posts, but Toothpaste-chan being real was hard to miss even just scrolling past the last two or three pages. Nice to hear you're making progess, though. (That reminds me, I need to finish my Toothpaste-into-BigBlueBlob EU4 campaign...)

@Eltosian Kadath got two correct - Stellaris and Indiana Jones - but let me solve the rest (and explain myself): In Stellaris, you can play as empires that are literally genocidal in nature: Fanatic Purifiers ("KILL ALL THE XENOS!"), Devouring Swarms, or Determined Exterminators (murderous robots). But even as a "merely" xenophobic empire, you can murderize entire species, or enslave them, or eat them, or genetically atropy their brains... If there's a dystopian SciFi trope, Stellaris probably has it. In addition, Stellaris is developed by Paradox, who's otherwise mostly famous for their historical Grand Strategy games (Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria...). They generally avoid making genocide into a game mechanic, but EU4 in particularly has a couple infamous instances "click button, murder people". The main character of the Monkey Island series, Guybrush Threepwood, starts the first game as a wannabe pirate. In the very first dialogue, a sentry replies to that by saying that he looks more like a flooring inspector. Guybrush not being a very manly man or pirate-y pirate is a bit of a running gag throughout the series. Dr Henry Walton "Indiana ("Indy")" Jones, when he's not out there punching nazis and stealing cultural treasure, works as a college professor. Another Paradox game/series: Hearts of Iron, set in the 1930s and 40s. Every nation is playable, so that includes the nazis. This, in my opinion, puts the devs in a bit of a catch-22. They obviously can't gamify the freaking Holocaust (and they didn't) - but that means that nazi Germany is just another playable faction similar to everybody else. I've seen the justification that HoI is an army game, so you're just controlling the Wehrmacht, who didn't have anything to do with the Holocaust, but, well, that propagates said "myth of the clean Wehrmacht" and ignores stuff like WW1 generals giving the Nazis some nice propaganda fodder, the Wehrmacht protecting the regime doing the Holocaust, or the war in eastern Europe being explicitly genocidal in its goals. In Darkest Dungeon, literally every bad thing you encounter can be traced back to your dead Ancestor, who called you to clean up his mess, being a moustache-twirling villain.

Goodness, so many posts. Did anything of note happen? Ruben finished his SacSto mod?

0 / 5, I'm afraid. I'm either way too vague, or the franchises are too unknown in FE circles, or both To give some additional hints: Genocide and Other Atrocities... IN SPACE! - Only a single game thus far, actually. Genre is Grand Strategy / 4X. Flooring Inspector of the Caribbean - There's a new game coming up! ...and the lead designer was bullied off the internet by GAMERS (tm) Rob Graves, Punch Nazis, Lecture at 4PM - Selling these fine leather jackets at 6:30. Theme Song by John Williams The Myth of the Clean Wehrmacht: MS Excel edition - Same genre and developer as #1. Local Society Man Ruins Everything - Iä! Iä! Cthulu fthagn! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

I'm sorry, "subtle" is for cowards. Don't tell me you're also hiding subtext in your story changes/additions... 🙄 Ok, ok... 6.594/10

Makes excuses!

Didn't notice my egregious mistake.

put down what I've Just copies.

If you're looking to play both routes - Eirika route is overall a bit easier, so I'd recommend doing that one first. If you only want to play one, nobody will judge you for going the OBJECTIVELY WORSE route. The monocle is a nice touch, but the beard game is pretty weak. Good... comb-over, I think?, though. Very tasteful. 6.593/10.
