Rizia has been a disappointment overall. I democratized but killed Manus and the game never gave me an option to adopt a constitution. There aren't any unique paths you can take, no political goals since you are already a king. And nothing stops you from ignoring Pales and Zille, in fact if you go to reclaim them you get couped for some reason. Speaking of coup, it's never foreshadowed or justified in any way, same goes for revolution that only exists in two decisions and the people who come to power after revolution are literal who's with no portrait or screen time.

Intermerkopium or however its spelled is kind of fun. An alliance formed from hating Lespia and love of Rizian fossil fuels. I had much more fun trying to get those lunatics to form up than anything else the DLC had going on.

I've discussed it before, but you basically give different continents different paths. For Americans you have Westernization as one option (Iroquois, Five Civilized Tribes), Relocation as another (Trail of Tears, Reservations, effectively a failure state), or Resistance (Sioux, Comanche). European colonies get their own paths separate from the European continent (stuff like Renaissance isn't really relevant in the colonies, and instead you get ideas like Independence or Representation, or otherwise).

Early game in the Americas would be different, and basically you'd need to try to break the Bronze Age barrier.

Just e rambling about my last playthrough.
tldr: small choices are more fun, when you can compare to the world around you, and see how being an angel, or a fuck to your neighbour, reverberates through the world in small waves, possibly tipping things over somewhere else

>>1740246
Legends are just forced roleplay and stat bonuses for gold. Poorly implemented as well. They should have just reworked bloodlines but made the bonuses similar to genetic bonuses you see in mods like the LoTR one or elf destiny. Complete a bloodline, your ruler gets an inheritiable trait/bloodline as the founder, his descendants get a lesser tier of that bonus dependent on their traits/prestige/piety/culture/religion etc. A character with a less powerful tier of a bloodline can potentially increase that level at the cost of some mana associated with whatever founded the bloodline. Something like how EK2 allows you to use magic to increase how long-lived you can be as an elf.

What is this guy's ideology exactly?
The only things I picked up from the current Russian focuses is he hates democracy and Germans and wants Russia to be the strongestiest in the world, which doesn't exactly differentiate him much from literally every other Russian leader ever.
I saw the rework wants to give him some more esoteric nazi Himmler-esque path.

I e-mailed them multiple times but the problem is the "questions" all pertained to WoW and Hearthstone (accounts and stuff). I had WC3, Diablo 2, Starcraft 2, e.t.c man.

I detest this meme. STOP pretending CK3 is not leap and bounds ahead for letting you make a realm look like anything you want.

I will not accept realismfag arguments either. Video games are about player choice, look at how much flexibility Rimworld gives. If you don't grant it, you're a fundamentally worse game.

>why you can't combine armies from multiple castles into one unit
think of each castle as having its own army, you can't really form into an actual force, you just have to make do with the decentralized system the game uses. try using multiple roads at once, that will allow you to attack from multiple angles. two to three armies can only attack when they're on the same road, which makes holding chokepoints worth it in the game. mountain roads limit the amount if troops further, so watch out for that.
>is this province always just going to be worse than an "equivalent" province with 1 fortress that provides 2500 troops?
no, either they'll grow later on the game due to higher population, or you could enact a policy that increases fortress troops. take into account the gold and food each castle in a province makes, rather than the troops they provide. personally, I would destroy them to remove the tedious micro and focus on good old castle gameplay or automate the fortresses to the ai so there's an extra resource base.

>Attack a castle in Rise to Power.
>Significantly outnumber the enemy.
>Enemy has a 800-man musket unit hiding in the castle.
>Castle is well developed that you can only go through the gate.
>Enemy musket destroys my army without breaking through the gate because he keeps somehow manages to proc confuse that stops my army dead.

>>1736898
yeah the RTS stuff in rise can be pretty weak.
If you get big enough you'll get cannons.

In the meantime consider a) sending less troops to get the AI to be more aggressive and b) mulch his entire castle town, you'll either force him to fight or gimp him enough to let you focus attention elsewhere.

First keep in mind that both the paid steam and the free one on bay12 are on the same version 50.xx, the difference boils down that the one sold on steam is a premium graphic set and OST

The bulk of the complaints that ive heard from here about 50.xx that still applies today usualy about how the controls changed and how they it is still not all keyboard, and also weird stuff here and there like the other anon listed. Then you also had the adventure mode which wasnt included on release and only last week or so a public beta release, and it still has lots of missing features.
On the other hand, 50.xx did get some sick performace improvements thanks to multithreading some of the code and some of Toady shit code being reworked by a new programer that is working with him.

Personaly, my issue with the steam release is that it has been basicaly a 6 years halt on DFs development, and considering how unfinished the Adventure Mode beta is, looks like the hiatus is going to drag on for another year, and Im all out of copium for this shit

Is it still a huge pain in the ass getting marksdwarves to pick up new bolts?

I've heard that trees can block line of sight and apparently your own units will too despite them having a pretty high range. And yeah I've also found that just hitting the charge command and slamming into the enemy usually nets me more wins than lining up in a defensive posture and grinding them down. I'm thinking of breeding Garthimis as slaves and using them as expendable flankers while my elite units hit the front.

>>1741337
Bugs have something like 50% minus on morale, would probably break and run standing just trying to flank.
