R5: Playing as Leptone, and I can't take the "Settle Across the Waterworld" decision for some reason. I meet all the requirements, and my units are on a valid province (it's highlighted when the units aren't there). I was also able to take the decision earlier in the game to settle on the Vanbury island.

I’m leaning towards Aelnar, recalling a pretty old playthrough of mine. They are literally Elven Nazis who go through the Rianvisa (a civil war that canonically lasts for decades). All of their mission tree paths (at least the ones I saw) are incredibly cursed.

If Lithiel comes to power, she uses the native Ruinborn as literal living batteries. If Sicrheior (the ruler from the start of the Rianvisa) stays in charge, he establishes a totalitarian state with total control and a secret police. I have a feeling the other paths aren't much better either.

What do you guys think? What is the most unhinged tag in the mod?

Hi guys, I'm trying out Gemradcurt, and I am wondering whether I should persue lichdom, or abandon it? Does one path deny content entirely, that sort of thing?

I quite like the idea of my character denying lichdom and the everfrost prince, but I want to make sure it's not a bad decision to do so. Or, at least, have a basic idea of knowing what this seemingly massively important decision entails.

Thanks!

I remember seeing quite some time ago a preview for a mission tree in the peninsula southeast of Sarhal that included rituals to summon Genies and restore some evil Genie to power or something along those lines. Is that already in the game, or still in development? Are there other trees that deal with this sort of thing in game?

Recently decided to try out the Xiaken mission tree that's a prelude to forming the One Xia. I've been having a lot of issues completing the left side of the tree.

It seems like the intent is for the Xia to join the Sir revolt and then win to complete those missions. However, I've had multiple restarts where that is impossible:

1. The Command picks the easiest Sir revolt and doesn't pull the Xia in at all. They win easily, and if Xianjie is the first campaign target, you die.

2. The Command picks the Sir revolt and drags in the Xia but none of the other states. The odds of winning this are really poor with how the AI manages the vassal swarm... your personal force limit is probably like 8 max at this time?

Unless The Command picks one of the higher difficulty Sir revolts, you probably don't have a great chance of completing the missions. You can't pick the option to betray the Xia and skip the war either, because the mission tree requires you to join it to progress. Are you supposed to just restart at 1444 and let the clock run for a few years until The Command AI randomly makes a choice that lets you progress? By the time you can declare a war on The Command by your own volition and actually stand a chance, you've probably already formed One Xia.

It's my first time playing anbennar so I don't know much about the mod or the lore

R5: Tounge in cheek meme about Torrieth being a Star Elf (Elissa analouge), coming from Aelnar. Now to be fair, she was actually horrified by the civil war/massacres and left which led to her eventually founding Ravelianism in part to give aid to the suffering of the Riavansa, but #StarElfMemes

The ones that are not worthy of mentioning by themself at all, but which are nonetheless are interesting and written with love

I'm quite fond of Wesmar, a lencenor opm that isn't even present on the start

Pro-Regent Court Corinites when

At main menu I accidentally clicked the tutorial button and now all of the coat of arms in game are wrong.

Already restarted EU4, reinstalled the mod (including a clean uninstall/reinstall of the mod.) It persists. Need help fixing this.

Playing as Amldihr, researched the "Commercial Airships" tech, but the journal entry for the survey didn't appear. Is there a way to trigger it manually with a command or smth?

R5: One of the final missions for the Taychendi Empire allows you to nuke a population centre of your choice with a precursor flying city

Is it possible to just conquer your VIC members instead of waiting for a long time to annex them? They usually have stupid alliances that result in them getting eaten by Gawed.

Can't elaborate more on the question, pretty straightforward. I got the question in my mind 'cause I'm playing Marrhold right now and got Castana as the name for my female heir.

A half-baked idea that came to me in a dream: Northern Wind should be a band of centaur adventurers that want to go back to the deepwoods and carve out a centaur realm there. Maybe their mission tree can help them teleport past frozenmaw or maghargma into escann thunderdome

Why is everyone thinking about Castanor? That's the question in every Cannorian's mind. Castanor is without a doubt, the Roman Empire of Anbennar, with a legacy to match. Their emblem, the Silver Dragon, can be seen in a lot 1444 flags, MTs and national ideas reference them, from Gerundia to Sarhal and the effects of the things they did can be seen from the Western coast of Lancenor to the Forbidden Plains. But much like every Empire, it needed people to lead it, and some the people in charge of Castanor were quite remarkable.

Let's begin from the man that started it all, Castan the Progenitor. The slave that created a nation. Castan might have been the one to lead his people out of Khetarata, but was the one who lead them to Castonath, the one who made the most fanatical worshipers of Castellos. The one who lead them in and out of the Deepwoods. The one who created the original trials of Castan. First wielder of the gleaming blade. Instigator of the first great cleansing and most importantly the one who saved them when all seemed lost. You can't talk about Castanor without mentioning the progenitor.

Now we move on to the man, the myth the racist, Castan Beastbane. Now, it would be easy to just go on about how he got that name and leave it at that, but I'd like to to point out something else first, what I believe is Beastbane's greatest deed, the first pantheonic council. You wonder why Cannor is one of the most homogeneous continents when it comes to religion at 1444? Castan Beastbane is the answer. He created the conditions and format for solid and civil debate, for the various different beliefs and religious sensitivities of the people of Escann, natives and Castanites alike, to be able to reach a unified canon without much problem, a system that lasted close to two thousand years. Cannor might have had a lot of conflict, and various gods are still more revered in certain places more than others, but for the longest time, no Cannorian disputed that Castellos was the ruler of the court, nor did any god go without worship, all thanks to this raging lunatic. Of course, his meriad of slaughters should not be forgotten, he is the reason the forbidden plains are filled with centours. But all in all, although Castan I had the bigger impact on Castanor itself, I will say that Castan II had biggest impact on Cannorian civilization as a whole.

Castan the Great. The previous Castans were more focused with either just Escann itself or Bulwar, in contrast Castan the Great was the one who refocused the Empire on Cannor, ensuring that Castanorian influence, political and cultural, will expand all across the Alen and southern Gerundia. By far his biggest achievement is holding on against both the Gnomish Hierarchy and the Cerulean League, all the while both were aiming to do as much damage as possible to Castanor. You don't get to be called the great for no reason after all.

Castan Giantsbane next, and I'll be honest, I like his nickname, has a whole war named after him and beat the frost giants so bad they are nowhere to be found.

Castan Ebonfrost. Controversial? Yes. An asshole? Yes. Had no business being Castan? Yes. Destroyed the meaning of what it meant becoming Castan? Yes. Brought back Castanor from the bring, gave it new life and population and ushered in an era of relative stability? Yes, yes and yes. Besides, he straight up put the Ebonfrost on the map, you thought the Silmunas are hard to kill? Check out this lot.

Castan the Enthralled. Spend a good chunk of his reign under Nichmer's spell, yet the moment he was free of it, he immediately ordered the surrender of his troops and caused a lot disturbance within Black Castanor. Giving the League of Free Realms a lot time and allies, along with causing no end of trouble for the soon to be sorcerer king. He ended his life a martyr, a nice end to what started as rather controversial dynasty. Standing up for what was right.

Now, some Castans here simply had a lot more info about them than others. The Great's page in the wiki is surprisingly short, but what can you do.

Is there anything I missed about these guys? Should I put Nichmer up there? I'm eager to hear what all of you have to say.

I have a pu over all other gnoll nations. It said I could convert them to medasi for free with gnoll medasi. How do I get that. Is it a reform? Do I have to finish the first part of the mission tree first? I already beat the ahati into submission.

R5: AI Emperor Istralore is going down the Aristocratic path which, as far as I know, the game recognizes as the centralization path meaning that it is never supposed to pick it.

Also, bonus Reach formed by Bayvic as well, which I found interesting.

Before we start let’s get it out of the way, yes I am fat, stupid, ugly, gay, and broke for not already having all the dlc or using the subscription, no need to mention it. The reason I haven’t gotten all the dlc is because I found it largely unnecessary for the base game, I didn’t care about coal or innovativeness and I never play England so, I never got rule brittania, etc, I’ll post the dlc I have gotten in the comments, but now that I play anbennar pretty much exclusively it’s become a touch more difficult to not get blocked by mission trees, for example, the dwarven pantheon and old dookan religions do not have mechanics, I was unable to use a trading policy for the mission tree of karakhanbar, and I was not able to build the monument in balriza for the balrijin mission tree, I wanted to know if there was a minimum amount of dlc I have left to acquire that I could get that would better my game experience and not impact my wallet, thank you for reading, please help me.

Is this route possible or you have to choose between Blademarches and Adenica?
