Yeah no I DO hate this.

Pasted from the other one :
You people are all saying Kumo is a bitch, but I personally hate Hugo (or Yuugo) even more.
I can't stand these "all your world are belong to me" kind of shitty antagonist.
Why they bother keeping that fuckface alive is a wonder, I personally would've buried that shit alive instead of allowing it to live and develop an unhleathy fetish for underaged elves.

And the Church's hypocrisy isn't that bad either.
>urr heresy magic is bad, unless we're the one using it

>>148997252
Right after Hugo went scott-free after trying to murder everyone.
I hate that guy.

>>148997740
It's Yuugo.
>scott-free
Can you tell me what events happened before that? Also keep reading - it's not as clean-cut as it looks.

>>148997948
It's Hugo on Blastron's translation.Turb0 names that über faggot Yuugo. I don't know which is more correct.

Also, what happened is that Yhugo became jealous of Prince what's-his-face, cornered him in the woods, tried to kill him out of jealousy and delusion that the new world belonged to him, get massively fucking rekt Fist Of The North Star-style by the creepy pedophile teacher, and is now whining and baaawing in his room like the bitch he is.

I think I still hate Ramsay Bolton more than him, but by a small margin.

What even are embassies? It doesn't raise the relationships like they do in Stellaris, and don't seem to give me more options.
Besides, Neptune just refuses every offer I make.

>>149000296
To be fair, I never heard of any game with a decent AI. Even in grand strategy games, sometimes you get attacked out of nowhere by factions that supposely like you.

The problem with diplomacy is that the AI is unpredictable. Just like the humans. I played a lot of strategy games with my brother and I've been betrayed more than I cared to count. So beyond fifty times.

You guys confused the shit out of me last thread. The two 4chan tabs I have open permanently are /stellaris/ and /monstergirls/, and I couldn't tell which one I was in

That wouldn't work for Civ5.

But as a RPG, Kumo's setting is really interesting. I like how she's excited like a gamer each time she get something new.

Favorite Civ5 scenario?
I'd say my favorite is the Rome one as Rome; probably because of the emphasis on combat.
Japan/Korea one comes close after that.

>>149007802
You could do something like the Madoka mod where Kumoko is a super unit with promotions, the cities being her weebs and the units being her spawn it wont be a 100% accurate but it can be done

RPG wont work either since the battles are full DMC crazy on it

>>149008690

>UA
how much is it increased by? they showed the bonus reaching half the tech. does that mean that normal civ eureka bonuses are only a 1/3 or a 1/4 of the tech?
>leader bonus
well, from the video, it showed sacrificing a worker brought the gardens from 6 turns left to 2 turns. this looks nice. a good balance between finishing it instantly, or barely mattering. those several turns can mean the difference. I just hope they dont dominate with early game wonder spamming.
>ui
I dont know about this. the wall sounds and looks really cool but we're going to be dedicating a lot of tiles to districts as well as the normal improvements. it needs to give a good bit of culture and gold to be worthwhile, honestly.

LET US END THIS CHARADE

>>149023665
Well, they'll either use their production on workers to hurry wonders or they'll simply use production on wonders, the latter will be probably more effective. Doesn't really sound OP or anything honestly

Agree with you on that UI, with districts and shit I doubt we'll have empty tiles to put great walls on. If barbarians aren't a big problem or AI civs are not more aggressive, I doubt that will be useful at all

China simply doesn't sound good imo, I liked Japs more

>>149026530
yea. Japan and Egypt look the best to me from what they've shown so far.

>>149023665
>[apprehension about Great Wall taking up so much space]
It's part of the strategy of the game. You have to know what's the best place to put it to. Also it generates useful gold and later culture and tourism yields.

Ebin.

>>149037375
That sounds disturbingly realistic.

>>149038553
It would make more sense if barbarian spawn rate differed depending on how strong your culture/economy is. But it's still tied to the vanilla system where barbs spawn in unspotted tiles or outside of proximity of your units. Feels like there's only so much emphasis on barbs early game to drain production and prevent you from building up too much, but all it really accomplishes is making most early game buildings useless.

>>149039312
>It would make more sense if barbarian spawn rate differed depending on how strong your culture/economy is.
How does this make any sense

>>149039537
Barbarians raid cultured nations more I guess, since really shitty nations are essentially barbarians themselves.

What

>>149041229
That's what I've been talking since the beginning.

>>149041136
I think thats mainly because the devs dont give a fuck about the neutral setting, since I doubt anyone actually plays with ai set to that. same with sins of a solar empire to a lesser extent.

>>149041345
Why bother with Diplomacy then? Same shit with Rise of Legend, you have a shitload of diplomatic options, but 90% of the time, the only diplomacy you'll get is the AI surrendering.

>>149041421
Because neutral and shit is for scenarios. Ally and Enemy with Locked Teams is the only actually relevant setting. Diplomacy is essentially nonextant in AoE2, even tributes are more of gifts to your allies to sling them.

>>149041489
Tribute? They steal men's colours, and make them their slaves!

Can a civ (in Civ5), in theory, found two different religions?

>>149051375
I don't think.

Speaking of Civilizations, is it just me or are spies gone? I remember them being pretty handy in Civ4.

>>149051417
They got added with BNW IIRC, you start getting them in Renaissance, though the system is really bland

>>149051375
No, but a city can be a holy city to multiple religions if it gets captured by another civ and that civ founds a religion there

>>149052169
Unless I'm mistaking it with another game, it's that system where you drop spies on a yearly basis and have to stack them for them to be effective?

>>149051417
>>149052169
Spies also got added in GnK, but if we're talking about spies in Civ6 then I can't say I'd have a clue.

>>149052298
Nah, in Civ V you can't even stack spies, you can only send one to one city and you get one spy each era. Espionage screenshot, perhaps can help you remember

>>149052842
Doesn't ring any bell. I thought it was either that system where towns build a intelligence ressource that can be used or that system where you stack spies on another civilizations to unlock more intel on them, but it looks like it's different.

No wait. That system where you stack spies comes from another game. A space one. Either SotS or GalCiv2.

>>149054580
Sins doesn't have spies if I remember correctly.

>>149056553
I was thinking of Sword of the Stars, but I don't think it has spies either. It must be Galactic Civilizations.

>>149056593

Woops. Totally read that as SoaSE.

>>149057613

So I bought Stellaris on sale not too long ago.
It looked interesting, but I have no idea what I am doing with this kind of game. What am I in for?

>>149065610
Mostly games you'll never finish.

Also, a beta 4X. This isn't a meme, most features are still broken or unbalanced, and the game feels unfinished.
Diplomacy is decent through, but fights are pretty meh, and science is random, which is a retarded idea.

>>149066051
So it's shit like every other game these days?

>>149066182
No.
It's shit like every other game Paradox released.

The only different is that Stellaris will have DLCs and thus will probably be fixed.
Meanwhile, Sengoku is still shit.

>>149066383
>It's shit like every other game Paradox released.
Yes, like every game released these days. Right?

>>149066490
I'm pleased to inform you that Paradox isn't the only developper. Megadimension is really fun, and even EDF, despite needing a lot of polishing, is entertaining.

And Rimworld came out on Steam, while still being in Early Access, it looks promising as well.

>>149064424
>>149064676
At least that one can be explained by her going half-insane (and gaining the merciless trait).

Yuugo, on the other hand, is still a massive faggot and need a red-hot iron rod shoved in his ass like that one English king.

>>149066665
>EDF,
I never had the time for Neptunia to get into it, and I haven't played EDF in a long time now.

>>149066970
Then Stellaris isn't for you. You need time for it.

>>149067165
I mean time to learn about a bunch of characters and play through 4 games. Stellaris is just one game. Not a big series. Neptunia is a big series.

>>149067316
Fortunately for you, all the Rebirth games are more or less identical in design, only a few details (such as mana regenerating when hitting the enemy in RB3) and the plot changes. The rest is the same.
It's very often criticized for that, but I'm not going in details here.

Point is, learning how to git gud at Stellaris will (probably) take you more time than learning to be gud at Neptunia.

>>149067534
I don't give a shit. Neptunia has a bunch of characters and world shit to memorize and care about. I can't give a damn about that. That sounds like way more.

>>149067735
Meh, not quite. Compared to Touhou, the Simlarillion or Games of Thrones, it's pretty easy.

>>149067837
Not interested in the three of those either. I don't really have any interest in Neptunia anyway. Just not my thing.

>>149068378
That's your taste and I can't force you to like them.

But my point is that SOME game that came out recently are fun.

>>149068740
Fun is subjective. I'm pretty much dead inside.

>>149068839
We all are. Otherwise we wouldn't be here, on 4chan.

>>149068947
Yes. It's just that genocides and extremist religious space empires of crazy jellyfish people appeals to me. The different races and making your own is pretty interesting too. I was just wondering what I am in for gameplay wise since I never played a game like this. I had heard it was kinda shit and unbalanced, but I assume the workshop deals with that stuff on Steam or something sooner or later. It's still new, so patches or something maybe too. I'm very unmotivated to ever finishing things. I hardly finish most games or shows I start anyway, so this might be okay for that.

>>149070036
Well, it's true you can be a major dick if you want to.
I mean, you can invade people and annex them, assimilating their populations.
You can purge them, you can enslave them.
You can treat the assimilated populations as equals or have a segregation going on.
You can "liberate" planets (basically installing a governement who has the same opinions than you do).

There are many ways to be an asshole in that game.

>>149070164

>>149070336
>There are many ways to be an asshole in that game.
That's what attracted me to Stellaris. I was quite disappointed that Fallolut 4 doesn't have that kind of stuff anymore. It seems a lot of games are getting rid of that kind of stuff.

>>149070593
Yeah. I still remember killing that Chinese kid in Deus Ex. You can't do that anymore now.

>>149070678
It's sad. Games are being made by cucks and submissive pussies who want everyone to hold hands and share wifes and play games together to be friends and shit and livestream like an attention whoring faggot. Instead of just senseless selfish good old fantasy fun and violence.

>>149070914
I just want to have the choice, dammit.
Nowadays, being an asshole in a game is either bland or penalized.

I'm thinking of Overlord, here. In retrospect, with the cutesy art style, I shouldn't have expected much, but the only choices allowed were "be nice" or "MURDER EVERYOOOOONE".
At least the second game had you picking between destruction and domination.


I want a game where I'm feared when I'm evil and respected when I'm nice. I'm fucking tired of being treated like shit if I'm nice and being hunted by guards if I fucking melted some dumb shit's face with acid.

>>149071353
But anon in society you should always try to help and please others and live for everyone else instead of your own shit and expectations for yourself and be a drone that does everything to make everyone happy, and don't swear or be mean to people, they have feelings, and video games promote violent thoughts sand negative attitudes and selfishness and thats not nice!

Stops making sense is the part that you're misunderstanding. Maybe a few chapters further it'll tell you.

Well, so far, she moved to the lower layer, get her shit rammed in, complained about her mood swings, and ate like a pig.

Beyond Earth: Rising Tide.

Or our beloved Beru-Beru aka Vert. Yoru choice.

I noticed that in other Civ titles, namely IV and V, even Caveman2Cosmos mod, AI LOVES to burn cities down for some reason. Especially painful in mentioned Caveman2Cosmos mod, where I once lost a city with 90 population that way. Razing was instant, but still, try to imagine, how much people would that be IRL, taking Civ IV approach towards representing city population with actual numbers.

>>149079957
Well look at history, Three Kingdoms period killed literally 80% of China's population.

Eador is good? I might pirate it. Steam reviews it as neutral and they are usually quite positive even for shit games.

>>149085060

Eador is not your typical game. It is different than others, too complicated in some aspects and, most importantly, VERY long.

Each shard is map on its own and you dont carry anything, save for some heroes from time to time (if you pay huge costs in mana) or some buildings (again, cost mana). I never finished campaign, but it surely last for 60 hours at least.

A two questions about BERT, maybe somebody will know:

1) Are there any essential mods, since I think I understand most aspects now, after two full sessions?

2) What would be good next setting? I tried playing Fungal and Lush biomes so far, despite setting sea level to low, I was always mostly on water, also tried that Asian faction (pretty good) and that American one.

>>149085561
And they say carpet of doom isn't real

>>149087520
I like North Sea Alliance for their extra-fast aquatic cities. Or INTEGR if you aren't in the mood for fighting.

As far a geography goes, I still don't know what it really affects. Just roll with whatever.

>>149087520
Refund and remove is a good one.

>>149085060
I don't know. I tried to play it several time, but ended up running out of ressources really quickly.

>>149085561

>>149088378

After 30 hours? Besides, I said that game is not that bad.

>>149087961

Actually, Integr really shines at combat, due to this -75% cost for buying units/buildings with DC. But that require steady supply of said DC, at best I still could only get +200 per turn.

NSA (heh) at the other hand is tempting with option of slow but steady aquatic cities invasion, yet being able to utilize it only at water.

>As far a geography goes, I still don't know what it really affects. Just roll with whatever.

What I found out so far, different biomes have differnt aliens behaviour and numbers (Fungal have them hugging that fancy named xenofungus-wannabe but rarely venturing around, while Lush have helload of alien nests and weak units that flood you in early turns, but are just major annoyance in later ones). I think that it also alters resources placement, as in Fungal I had huge amounts of that bio-something green ooze. I cant bet on that last part tho, it could be just random element.

>>149089895
They fucked up by having the biomes separated though. they should be avariable in a whole map

>>149092072

Maybe in expansion :3

Kidding, while there is no officiall info, there is little chance that they would release anything.

So I got the urge to play CiV again, but I remembered how awful the base game is and I installed the Community Balance Patch to try it out.
My social policy trees are all wonky though. The policy squares are overlapping, and the little lines don't connect properly. I can't even see the 5th policy in the not-honor tree.

I want to try stellaris, just to see how it compares to DW: Universe. I've heard Stellaris is to DW as CK is to Victoria, , but they're gonna have to pull some major weight to make up for the loss of the civilian economy.


Anyone have a mega link? I tried CK for years before actually getting it, in case you were wondering about supporting the publisher.

CK2 isn't even remotely related to Victoria 2.
Stellaris is just trash, also pretty sure there's a torrent everywhere.

>>149094435
Stellaris is basically Distant World for casuals.
I wish I could explain it differently, but Distant Worlds has more than twenty ressources.
Stellaris so far only has energy and minerals.

Research is random, fighting is awkward since you direct fleet instead of individual ships, and the music is pretty meh.

The only things I really like in Stellaris is how easy it is to mod it and the diplomacy system.

By the analogy I meant victoria's vast resource and trade system vs CK's simplistic province income.

>>149095432
But the AI is more predictable in Stellaris.
Meanwhile in DW, it sometimes declared war out of nowhere.

>>149095576
Is that supposed to be a good thing that outweighs not having space force fields?

>>149095440
Well yeah, but CK2 isn't about trade, it's about shit like shagging your sister or killing your fat lardball of a jewish chancellor for shagging your sister, while Victoria II is arguably 90% about economy.

>>149095440
You actually can't compare them because they don't even set out to do the same thing. V2 is a game about capitalist economics while CK2 is a feudal dynasty simulator.

You can argue about whether it makes sense to have political borders in space all you want, but if you don't understand why you can't cross closed borders without a declaration of war you are genuinely retarded.

>>149096362
>but if you don't understand why you can't cross closed borders without a declaration of war you are genuinely retarded
It IS physically possible though. The enemy should get pissy at you, perhaps a free CB if you linger, but physically being unable to step forward is retarded.

>>149096362
We are talking about a "border" that's billions of light years wide. You are an ant crossing that border.

They won't see you crossing until you jump in one of their systems.

It's retarded to have any border act like a force field.

In fact look at Pearl Harbor, they were on top of you and attacked right away, fuck a declaration.

Are you seriously this fucking retarded?

>>149096494
At minimum it would cause a major diplomatic incident to move military ships across a border without permission. Remember that in the current version of the game, open borders is the default, so someone has to actually close their borders to you, saying "don't enter my fucking space."
Violating that demand could easily be seen as an act of hostility. The game doesn't model combat outside of formal warfare, so the logical thing to do is to make violating borders an act of war. Civ does the same thing.

>>149096665
>There's not a physical thing stopping that
I am not the one saying there's a physical barrier.

>The game doesn't model combat outside of formal warfare
But it does unless the void clouds are at war with you. Once you actually attack of course you're at war.

>>149097027
The Oort Cloud is like two light years across.

>>149097134
Just because Civ does it doesn't make it ok, especially when we are dealing with space

Attacking and invading someone without declaration is still formal warfare

>>149097134

You forget about "innocent passage." It is legal to enter foreign waters in many circumstances, especially when in danger or duress.

>>149097134
>Civ does the same thing.

>>149097325

There's no diplomacy with them, so yes you effectively are in a permanent state of war with void clouds, mining drones, and crystalline entities.

>>149097412
>Attacking and invading someone without declaration is still formal warfare
But it's modeled by requiring a declaration of war before you can attack because it's a video game.

>>149097814
Requiring open borders is just a simpler way to model it.

>>149098190
>But it's modeled by requiring a declaration of war before you can attack because it's a video game.

>Taboo magic is resurrection
... Huh?

>>149098380
>And many video games modeled that not being a requirements because it actually makes fucking sense
In what games can you engage in open hostilities without being in a state of war?
All I can think of is Endless Space/Legend's cold war status, and that still requires a specific state of relations.

>>149098190
>so effectively yes
Jesus Christ
Just make everything attackable, use alt-rclick or some shit to signal it. Once you attack you're at war, wow so hard.

>because it's a video game
Goy 4 uses fucking arrows that give +50% bonuses just for sitting still because it's a video game and gives access to your enemy's enemies 'because it's a video game'. CK2 has badboy and shattered retreat "because it's a video game".

>simpler way to model it
Yeah it's simpler all right, but that doesn't mean it should exist when a free CB and diplo penalties both makes sense and can be easily implemented by the devs - make any passage into foreign territory add a penalty and CB to the holder unless you have a treaty.

>>149098678
>moving the goal posts
We are talking about crossing a border, not firing at someone
But to answer your question: distant worlds, you can fire at any ship

>>149098678
>In what games can you engage in open hostilities without being in a state of war?
>passing through EMPTY FUCKING SPACE is hostilities
If you attack someone obviously you're in a state of war. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to waltz in beforehand, because you CAN. Attacking someone implies you're at war, it's undeclared war and should carry a huge diplomatic penalty to everyone. Walking through someone else's land, ESPECIALLY if it's to get back to your own, should never require a fucking treaty.

>>149098807
>We are talking about crossing a border, not firing at someone
No, on that particular thread of conversation we were talking about
>Attacking and invading someone

>distant worlds, you can fire at any ship

>Yeah it's simpler all right, but that doesn't mean it should exist when a free CB and diplo penalties both makes sense and can be easily implemented by the devs - make any passage into foreign territory add a penalty and CB to the holder unless you have a treaty.
Doesn't this introduce the possibility of your ships potentially pathing through enemy systems and starting wars by accident?

>>149099068
>Doesn't this introduce the possibility of your ships potentially pathing through enemy systems and starting wars by accident?
Yes. That can be solved by needing to manually path them though by clicking into it, or by previewing the path the ship will take when you click.

>>149099068
"Formal warfare" has nothing to do with declaration of war.
Formal warfare implied being in a state of war already. The process of declaring war is not part of it.

I don't know why you are changing the goal posts to this though. The topic is about crossing borders without being stopped by a force field.

>And does doing so start a war?
Yes, it does. You can fire warning shots without any problems, but if it's sustained it starts a war.

>>149099193
>That can be solved by needing to manually path them though by clicking into it
This is tedious if you need to cross several systems to reach friendly territory.

>by previewing the path the ship will take when you click.
This might work. I think it would be better to display a prompt asking for confirmation.

>>149099438
>"Formal warfare" has nothing to do with declaration of war.
A declaration of war creates a formal state of warfare, anon.

>I don't know why you are changing the goal posts to this though.
Somebody said
>Attacking and invading someone without declaration is still formal warfare
and I pointed out that the declaration is required because it's a video game and it doesn't allow combat outside of war. In real life you sometimes have border skirmishes that don't escalate into full warfare; you can't easily model these in a video game.
No goal posts were moved, you're just too stupid to follow more than one discussion at the same time.

>The topic is about crossing borders without being stopped by a force field.
It isn't a forcefield, though. There's no physical barrier. You're using a reduction to absurdity instead of creating a good argument like >>149098683

In Distant Worlds you could move through people's space, and they wouldn't like it, but you could fortify some asteroid and try to claim the territory without directly fighting. Kind of like China and artificial reefs in Nanfang Hai.

I honestly think it's because the ai can't into pathfinding and if the whole map were open, we've have nigh infinite ai fleets wandering the universe for no reason. Which does happen in DW.

>>149100124
>It isn't a forcefield, though. There's no physical barrier.
I'm not him, but from what I understand he's not arguing that there's a physical barrier actually there but complaining that the game acts as if there is one in place when it's fundamentally stupid for one to be there.

>>149100329
>the game acts as if there is one in place
It doesn't, though. It acts like crossing the border is an act of war.

>>149100124
>A declaration of war creates a formal state of warfare, anon.
A formal state of warfare isn't the same thing as "formal warfare". Formal warfare is literally symmetrical warfare. That has shit all to do with diplomacy. Warfare is how you conduct war, not how you declare.

Crossing borders without permission has shit all to do with this.

>and I pointed out that the declaration is required
Declaration or not it's still formal warfare.

>In real life you sometimes have border skirmishes that don't escalate into full warfare; you can't easily model these in a video game.
You should tell that to whoever made DW.

>No goal posts were moved
>Discussion was literally about how stupid is to have force fields as borders
>Now nitpicking about "formal warfare" being only declared warfare

>There's no physical barrier.
Can you move a ship in the space of someone that closed the border with you?
If the answer is "no" then it is a force field.

>>149100621
But it doesn't. Crossing a border isn't an act of war - it's something you do during war. It's not like crossing it illegally makes you go to war, you're physically unable to cross it unless you declare first.

how do you write a biography for your empire? it doesn't look like you can do it in game as far as i can tell.

is it a mod?

>>149100660
>A formal state of warfare isn't the same thing as "formal warfare". Formal warfare is literally symmetrical warfare. That has shit all to do with diplomacy. Warfare is how you conduct war, not how you declare.
I'm definitely not going to argue semantics with you. All I've been saying this entire time is that video games usually require a state of war before either party can engage in open hostilities because it's simpler to model. If you want to call yourself a winner because you're right about the dictionary definition of warfare vs. war, go ahead. I don't care.

>Can you move a ship in the space of someone that closed the border with you?
Yes, you just have to declare war first, because in the game's diplomatic model that is considered an act of war.

>>149100687
>Crossing a border isn't an act of war
It is in the game's diplomatic model.

>>149101509
It's in the species tab.

But russia never violates other nations sovereignty. USA too never did that.

>>149101821
>It is in the game's diplomatic model.
No it isn't. If it were, crossing a border would automatically declare war.

God damn the warscore in Stellaris is retarded.

>>149101821
>All I've been saying this entire time
And all we have been saying and the whole topic of this conversation is that it's retarded to have borders acting like forcefields because crossing a border shouldn't behave like that.
It should LEAD to that but it shouldn't stop you from crossing, especially in fucking space of all places.

>in the game's diplomatic model that is considered an act of war.
That's a shit system. That's the whole point. You literally can't stop someone from crossing an imaginary border in space. No one would realize it was crossed anyway, especially because you can barely make a border in space.

>You literally can't stop someone from crossing an imaginary border in space.
No, you can't, and the game doesn't pretend otherwise. It just treats the crossing as an act of war. You're ignoring that the barrier is political and not physical because calling it a physical barrier is more absurd.

>>149102438
If it treated as such, it would happen what >>149101929 said.

>>149102438
Let me ask you something
Is it physically possible to cross a closed border within the game? No? Then it treats it like there is an actual, physical, barrier.
You're still arguing the wrong thing - the entire idea of border crossing necessitating war is fundamentally absurd which is the original complaint.

>>149102513
How do you cross a closed border without declaring war, anon?

>>149102721
You fly across it, the other side gets pissed, he tells you to fuck off or there will be hostilities.

>>149101509
Very first screen.

>>149102721
You cross it
What, you think not being in a state of war will stop anyone from crossing it?

>>149102716
>Is it physically possible to cross a closed border within the game?
Yes, it is. You just have to declare war first.
There is no physical barrier, just a political one.

>the entire idea of border crossing necessitating war is fundamentally absurd which is the original complaint.
I disagree. I think it's a simple but reasonable mechanic here just like it is in Civ, especially since borders are open by default and therefore an empire has to tell you, specifically, that you aren't allowed to enter their space before you're barred from entering. You can rationalize it as the "close borders" option being backed by a threat of war just like a guarantee of independence is.

Whether the idea of "borders" make any sense in space is more worth arguing about.

Well, fuck. Here it starts, the genocide.

>>149103208
The game diplomatic model acts like borders are force fields.

>>149103334
No, it just acts like crossing borders when told not to is an act of war.

>>149103208
>You just have to declare war first
Ahistorical and nonsensical.

Guarentees must be manually upheld, they are not automatic. That is why it makes sense. A diplomatic penalty is more than enough as you're essentially giving the finger to their sovereignty.

>>149103208
A true diplomatic model not stop physical actions, it reacts to them. If you cannot fly across then it is not part of the diplomatic model, the diplomatic model should reward, punish, or react to your choices. Even an automatic declaration would qualify it.

>>149103459
But it literally fucking doesn't. It acts as if crossing closed borders is an action only [physically] possible during war, not that crossing closed borders is tantamount to a declaration of war or an act that would justify a defensive war with or without a formal declaration.

>>149103254
To be honest, humans are really retarded in that story.
>"oh boy, a giant deadly spider who help people!"
>"let's tame it instead of leaving it alone!"
>"what can possibly go wrong?"

>>149103459
No, if it did that, it would do >>149101929 said. If it stops you until you declare war then it acts like borders are force fields.

>>149103673
That's humans in our world too though.

>>149103763
>Fuck yeah science!
>We dominated everything on your planet, but we need more stuff to kill us!
>let's become our own nemesis!

>>149103908
Humans have always been their own nemesis, disease and nature (as in environment, not animals) aside.

>>149103763
The translation is shitty as fuck, but this line here is so bad it's awesome.
> The incarnation of nightmare has transferred here.

>>149103982
Humans used to get rekt by the environnement and predators. Once they murdered or tamed the predators, they start killing each others.
Sometimes I think people just want to fight and the fact that Earth doesn't have any challenge left makes us all insane.

>>149103504
>Ahistorical
The game is set in the future and there are no historical precedents for interstellar borders.
More importantly, it's a video game. Video games sometimes trade realism for simplicity.

>Guarentees must be manually upheld, they are not automatic.
What difference does it make? They've said "you'd better not enter our space unless you want to go to war." You enter their space, you're at war.

>>149103634
>>149103673
This is autism.
There's no functional difference between declaring war and then attacking, and attacking and declaring war at the same time.

This argument has gotten too autistic for me. You're welcome to declare yourselves winners.

>>149103673
Thats not even half of it.
Hey the village worships this spider as a messenger of God, the spider is doing nothing but eat, sleep and heal people. LETS KILL IT

Hey i am going to brainwash this goblin who is able to create weapons from nothing so i have a personal blacksmith AND THEN MAKE HIM EAT HIS LITTLE SISTERS FOR GIGGLES!

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

>>149104262
Your argument boils down to "it's a videogame os they can control millions of light-years of space like it had a physical barrier"

>>149104294
Haven't reached that part yet. Here, the humans are still pissing themselves in fear after burning down Kumo's nest.

Poor fuckers are in for a world of pain and terror.

How do I play without slavery in Stellaris?

>>149104262
>What difference does it make?
The difference is that nations often turn their backs on guarantees that no longer align with their interests, just as closed borders may be given a pass when they don't align with their interest - for example, a superpower wanting to pass through a single system owned by a much smaller empire.

>no historical precedents
Which is why it is physically impossible to move in without first formally declaring war correct?

>trade realism for simplicity
Here it simply trades realism for foolishness and tedium where your can get stuck behind foreign borders that just barely grew bigger.

>this is autism
No it isn't, you're the autistic one here for aruging against a system people agree is flawed. Next you'll say CK2's badboy and coalition bullshit is good and shattered retreat makes sense.

>>149104579
By purging.

I've never seen city state border growth like this before. 4 tiles away from the city! Anyone ever encountered this?

What leader do you use? What is your strat?

What is the most broken leader and strat in civ v?

Without spoiling too much, could you people tell me when exactly she turns into the Fair Lady? With all the fanarts about her, I thought she would turn pretty quickly, but here I reached chapter 140 and she's still a spider.

Seeing as this is a fantasy scenario, I'll tack on me being a girl he likes. Offer to suck his dick.

It can give AI different actions depending of their size and ethos, a pacifist empires could hate the fuck out of you if they detect your ships in their territory (instead of the whole "your carpet is blue: -1000000000000), while military races could like you more for you bravado, it can also work to force small empires a bigger chance of accepting threatries that dont favor them (gunboat diplomacy motherfucker) or smaller xenophobic empires will go to war even without any chance to win because they are dumb retards
this is much to ask from Paradox

>>149105180
~40 chapters

>>149105173
China or Korea I guess.

>>149104932
Yes, but not quite so stringy. But that's what happens when you have a strategic or luxury resource 4 tiles away and literally every other tile in the vicinity is awful.

What were you saying about the overpowered prince?

Yuugo? He's still a piece of shit and I look forward to him dying horribly.

But then was that giant spider who slaughtered demons and humans...

>>149105968
Not him, but in retrospect, i was fairly obvious the moment they mentioned Lucius scarf was made of spider silk

>>149106040
Giant Spider was the mom.

No the Prince, Shun. The one you were saying is overpowered.

>>149106087
The author is good at hiding shit like that.

>>149106140
Well, he lost his father, his little sister, and is currently on the run.

Oh, right. She got the scarf before they were born.

To commit adultery.
