[Great Order]

The fucking military update broke things even more than it was already broken in a lot of ways, it seems.

I can't wage wars half the time, because despite a clear path through my country the army claims it can't pathfind to the front, so it won't bother trying to move to fight. The old system just produced stupid fronts, this one makes warfare straight up impossible half the time. It wouldn't be too hard to fix either, make each province pathable, excluding the provinces explicitly unpathable.

What's more bizarre is that the game lets your troops use *enemy territory* as part of the pathing half the time. The number of times I've had my armies just wander through a revolt's territory to reach the front has been ridiculous.

Also there's a bug with the reverse sways which is intensely stupid. You declare war for to subjugate someone. A second war happens on them, revolt, invasion, whatever, they pledge themselves to another power and suddenly your subjugate wargoal vanishes because you're fighting to subjugate a subject, which the game doesn't allow. You can only transfer subjects.

Take a wild fucking guess how I figured that one out?

My second base got raided by a swarm of wild Pals. A group of Dark-type lizards with hoodies, led by a bipedal fire goat. My base workers, though somewhat underleveled for the battle, killed the lizards easily. The fire goat however, got into my main house, where its fire attacks set a rapidly-spreading fire. The house was made of wood, had all my Pal beds(and mine), plus it's where all their food goes. Most of my resources were stored there.

I was badly wounded and set on fire myself during the blaze. However, I did manage to capture the leader, but as I slowly burned to death, I also watched as my entire house burned down. Only a single piece of floor with a Pal bed survived the fire. Everything else when fwoosh.

In addition to the lucky catch on the leader, I also gained a level that allowed me to unlock stone house structures.

Palworld. The extra good news is that the resources and food I had stored in the house weren't destroyed, but it was annoying to sort it all before rebuilding.

3 men in armour with axes hacked me to death.

I do recommend giving the demo a go.

The Durge-Orin fight is straight impossible without it on Tactician. One or two rounds, she will invariably utterly destroy you due to her absolutely insane damage output. If you lose, she gets 12 stacks of unstoppable every turn. So yeah, just... probably ways to cheese it (I tried telekinesis-ing her off a ledge, but after the 15th fail at 30% I decided the game had some hidden trick stopping it, the odds of that happening are so small it goes down to *10^-8%) but I don't know them, I don't have access to them, so I go to the time-honoured form of cheese where I keep reloading until the game lets me win. Otherwise everyone dies.

EDIT: Oh great, she cheats in the fight too. She can leave the circle, you can't.

Accidentally processed myself because I panicked a bit instead of reeling myself out with the grappler.

I used a tether to pull a big bit of ship into the processor, and was wondering why it was pulling another massive bit of ship that needed to go in the furnace. Turns out there was a teeny bit of L-shaped pipe still attached that had hooked over part of the other hull, and the cut part was level two and also in an awkward corner, thus sufficiently hardy and difficult to see that it was difficult to keep the cutter trained on it long enough to burn.

I was worth $8.14.

Probably a better death than using the split saw mode of the cutter on a pipe to the (already disconnected and processed) Class II reactor that exploded in my face.

Took a run up to clear a small gap just in case. In the moment of the jump I nudged the stick a bit to the right causing my brave tarnished to leap away from both buildings and into death by falling :V

Autopilot slammed me into the side of a station, repeatedly. Even after getting some distance away from the station. Somehow.

Probably shouldn't have immediately turned up time acceleration right after undocking.

Pioneer.

EDIT: Gunned down by police for some reason when trying to land at London. All I was carrying was metal alloys, and as far as I know hadn't done anything to provoke them.

Pioneer again.

[Rolan7]

Some of those alloys were looking a bit sharp, mate.  You got a license for those?
(course, they're probably even sharper as falling shrapnel... oops)

[Akura]

Started a new world to check out the awesome-looking update, which includes among other things, aggressive animals.

Cue bear camping the world spawn.

Rising World.

[Great Order]

I was burning at 20. Somehow a pirate fleet caught up, despite not being within the slightest vicinity of the nearest warpstorm. Nor were there hyperspace tunnels, since I was in the core world.

There were four or five other pirate fleets within range.

So yeah, that was a hard quit since I was on ironman mode. I'll take the L if I fuck up, I won't take the L if AI fleets *somehow* burn over the maximum limit for apparently no reason other than screwing with me.

Squished by a support while riding an elevator in Deus Ex.  I knew looking over the edge was dangerous because this could happen, but tried it anyway.  Results were predictable.

At least the game got funny right afterward.  This was in Area 51 where Page sent the MiB and M12 troops up the elevator to kill you after taunting you about killing your dad.  I just turned on cloaking, walked onto the elevator, and hit the button to head down.  They rode it back down with me.

"Barely a scratch!  You're faster on your feet than daddy was!"

Bro, I just walked past your dudes and hit the button to go back down, and they aren't even curious what's going on.

EDIT: In a display of power, Remilia blew up her entire army with Gungnir. Then beat 100 of my soldiers on her own.

SP of the same. Usually Remilia is not that destructive, but it visibly takes her more time to pathfind to next victim than to zoom in on it with athletics 15 and one hit kill it.

Every time I was engaging the enemy, the AI assumed I could handle it. Every fucking time my fleet would abandon me.

Champion cruiser, wrecked by a destroyer, three frigates and a cruiser because I started to engage and every other ship in my fleet left me alone to chase off a frigate on the other side of the map. Transferred to a Hammerhead, engaged the enemy it was with, exact same thing. I had to start issuing commands to actually stay with me to get them to do so.

Death came for my gen 0 count who claimed dueled and factioned his way into the duchy.  All hail pisskop, duke of italy from may 7xx to august of the same year.

Then my former wife and now mother went into labor and my new regent was a competent and disgruntled count.  3 failed attempts on me, and I spent 5 years diplomatically shutting down his plots, only for his plot to fire at 86% and 2 backers when I looked away for a couple of weeks.

I deleted the savefile, I dont feel like complaining about it and I dont feel like redoing the couple of hours of work.  'Death coming' is crap but at least its in the spirit of random, my getting axed by the count on the eve of my 16th was just plain old crap
