Turrón!

Looking for a game similar to Crusader Kings 2 with high fantasy setting

Alternatively, share your favorite mods for CK2, preferably ones that don't rely on DLCs since I have only been playing for a few months and haven't bought any

In case of mods, full overhaul would be ideal, but that's a lot of work, so here's my order of importance:

  1. map
  2. races
  3. religion
  4. cultures

I also have vanilla Europa Universalis IV, but I haven't tried it out yet

Another thing worth pointing out: I'm NOT looking for a 4X, I don't like the military / conquer focus of the genre

What I like in CK2:

  • micromanaging marriages to (hopefully) get good stats and claims or land
  • I can lose a lot without a game over
  • personal feel of playing a dynasty instead of a country (but that's okay, too)
  • keeping a realm stable and vassals loyal
  • "how have I become the king of X?", sometimes caused by forgetting my own plans
  • "England, it's the 11th century, you shouldn't be creating a colonial empire yet!" - probably won't apply to a fantasy world, but I think it's still worth mentioning
  • staying alive is simple enough to try funny plans, like turning Byzantine Empire heretic
  • interesting achievements
  • working native Linux version
  • overall interpersonal relationship management

After seeing my friend play Victoria III and Europa Universalis V, I think I'd enjoy a game with a more economic focus. I'll probably buy EU5 if it gets a fantasy mod with world generator, but that's probably gonna take a looong while.

Head = empty

I know copying/adapting an already existing story/character isn't unheard of, but my goldfish memory can never remember any

[Heroic EGS] Pathfinder Kingmaker has no portraits folder

I hope this is the correct community for technical issues. If not, tell me where should I go the next time.

IDK if that's an installation error on my end or Heroic can't download them into AppData, but there's no Portraits folder, meaning every character has a placeholder

I've already had to switch save directory from ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Pathfinder.../pfx/drive_c/... to ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Pathfinder.../drive_c./...

Using Wine GE 8-26 on Ubuntu 24.04

I'd be grateful for a fix or a zipped portraits folder

Edit: In the end I've had to copy the folder from my windows install, and somehow I've still lost my MC portrait. If you don't have access to someone with the game installed and working, you might be better off installing a pirated version (assuming you've already bought the game once).

Looking for fantasy or magitech novel

I've mostly watched anime for the past two years and got a craving for a book.

I'm mostly watching comedy and battle shounen, but I'm also enjoying Orb: On the Movements of the Earth this season. The last series I've been reading is Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (don't worry, I know about Mistborn, I'll get into it during holidays).

Horror bores me, and I dislike romance in general. I can tolerate it as a side plot, but will cringe anyway. And if I see a love triangle or the MC going on and on about the butterflies in their stomach...

It would be nice to see a hard system world mid or post-industrial revolution, but it's not a must. I also prefer a more masculine PoV, because I'm more used to it.

I'm currently thinking about getting The Powder Mage trilogy or Discworld, but I've been out of the loop for so long (if you consider regular visits at the library as being in the loop) that I want to see if I'm missing something more up my alley.

Originally I wanted to get Dungeon Crawler Carl, but it's not translated, so I'll wait. I've tried reading a book in English, forgot the title, but I had to drop it because it was too mentally demanding for me.

Couldn't think of any better community to post it

Explanation:

Mealy and Moore machines change their states every clock cycle.

In the case of Moore machine, the state determines the output, so it's easy to model a D flip-flop with it, where you have two states, one outputting 0, one outputting 1, and those switch based on what was the input during active clock edge.

In the case of Mealy machine, the output can change as the input changes. By an easy translation from Moore's machine D flip-flop, you can end up with one state that passes forward the input - again, constantly updating the output - without changing it, which means that you end up with, basically, a wire.
