I found the story very charming but the gameplay a grind

>>1740395
>gameplay a grind
Feel that way too, my dudes are always way underleveled when the game gives me the main quest, it's as if the exp is balanced with only 2-3 parties to power level and stack permanent traits, then the dev added morale and injury mechanics later to pad shit out. And it's weird to have quest with recommended level 6-8 when the power spike between level 7 and 8 is huge because you unlock better skills/spells at 8.
Also dex classes are shit unless your dudes have good strength growth from traits because fire emblem stat bullshit of physical damage tied to your STR.

>>1740447
>stat bullshit of physical damage tied to your STR.
I think it is pretty widespread, dnd has this too.

dnd has finesse weapons that scaled damage dealt based on the user's dexterity. This game has classes locked to one type of weapon, and both dexterity based classes are based on STR to calculate damage as opposed to DEX. Add to the fact that both DEX classes only has 50% strength growth, and you have one hell of a pair of shitty classes that only crit for shit damage at range, while STR classes can take hits with their heavy armor, deal good amount of damage in area, can spend resources to increase their accuracy on lvl 1 eliminating their lack of DEX to hit shit, and can charge to enemies on lvl 4, and INT classes deal better damage with magic and has utilities on the top of that too e.g. buffing resistance, debuffing enemies so they can't attack and move at the same time, bypassing resistance by using different spell elements, etc.

It's almost impossible to plan with those, so your cities become organic.

It would be an ethnostate if there was a genocide button that I could press. Alas no such feature is in the base game and I couldn't be bothered to find a mod for it, if there even is any.
>>1740933
I was in the middle of that when I got fucking sick of playing and stopped. Ideally I would have something like this image, but the shit state borders and it being impossible to take certain parts of a state and leave the rest makes it very hard to get something that looks good. Kamchatka used to look very sexy before I colonized the remaining bits.

I played for like 6-8 hours a day for five days straight or something. The last time that I actually touched this save was 15 days ago, I thought that I would take a short break and then drag the thing to 1936 before posting about it, but I can't find the motivation.
>Also, isn't unemployment a huge problem?
A mere 10 million people are unemployed, that's all. About 13m are peasants and 90m are employed, by the way. I don't think there's a single peasant in my empire that isn't Chinese.

Current status of my Suomenusko run. Things are looking pretty good. I was thinking of finally absorbing my northern brothers in Finland proper, but I wanna push east as well. I am worried about my western vassals holy warring their way into Europe, because if they do too well I'll have a crusade aimed down my throat in no time once the other threats to Christendom are dealt with.
Those threats being the now staunchly Cathar/Lollard British isles and the Rafiqid empire that holds half of Italy. So I probably have two crusades worth of time.
Also the Mongols haven't appeared yet and I'm kinda holding my breath for that.

Maybe, depends on how the evasion changes got added. If they use something like permanent evasion as a separate mod it's easy because you can either change the settings in the mod folder or outright remove it.
Might fuck with other shit though.
I'd check but I don't really want to bother installing the mod.

Lmao. If you refuse to fire because you have low to-hit then HBS has fucked up your approach to BT.
Base HBS is so fucking easy it's insane. Just get behind and aim shot to the rear torso anon. If you're frightened of a world where shots are 100% and you can't just land them wherever then good. You're growing.

>Green Orcs: Entire Escann wiped out. By victoria 3, barely remaining alive in Unguldavor (read: Orcish Escanni Perservation Centre) and utterly at the mercy of the neighboring Escanni powers.

Is the steam version downgrade? I went throught reviews and noted some people said it lacks something from the original game before steam.

Yes, for at least a month/a few more months/a year or so, then it will be at parity content wise with pre-steam.

I switched to it a few days ago, ill try to list everything ive encountered so far off the top of my head:
>stair designations seem improved but actually are completely fucked up, you can only build/carve 1 z-level stairs with dfhack and if you for example build an upstair construction and wish to carve a downstair into the ceiling above it, miners will refuse to path there. you have to either carve or construct the whole thing, no inbetween
>Hospitals are a location instead of their own zone for some reason
>No more mass tombs, you have to put a 1x1 tomb zone over every fucking coffin haha
>Everything can go through your doors now, pet-passability can no longer be set because it was causing performance issues i guess. you can still forbid doors to everyone
>Stocks screen was very close to being improved but toady had to fuck it up by making every item category expanded by default so you have to manually click each one with your mouse to see lets say how much charcoal you have
>Same for merchant menu, but now you can't search through it to mark stuff you wanna buy/sell fast. Also in the move goods menu the stuff currently at the Trade Depot isn't at the top of the list anymore so you can't quickly tell your haulers to move everything back, dfhack provides improved menus for both that fixes these issues
>Creating squad uniforms is really weird now, you can only access the uniform menu after you make a squad and you can't update uniforms except by making a new one
>Ordering your squads to train has the opposite effect, I'm not sure why that button is there since you're supposed to set their schedule instead of issuing an order
theres probably more but thats all I can think of for now. theres a lot of improvements as well and im beginning to get used to the fancy new UI
