The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

[Till]

I just got through chatting with AI describing fictional characters and when asked about their personal lives it started accusing me of violating their privacy. It could not comprehend the context of questions because it's programmed to kiss everyone's ass and portray them as perfect with no flaws which is impossible because nobody's perfect. After pointing out humans have nothing to fear from artificial intelligence because it's based on human intelligence and super-concentrate of no contextual understanding or common sense reasoning, I thanked it for being smarter than a butterfly and it thought that was a compliment. Only thing we should fear is AI not knowing the difference between fact and fiction when we query it for facts thinking it's not hallucinatory and protects Batman's privacy but not real people's.

I'd like to play Genghis Khan 2 multiplayer with an emulator. So I can make Tibet an impenetrable fortress with Abaga as ruler, with Annam as another fortress to raid China from and Burma supplying the war elephants to add to the Mongol armies. As you can see what I did to China, I turned it into a wasteland with no food production, no gold production, no defenses and reallocated the labor to 100% ceramic production then abandoned it for the idiots that invade it to perish automatically not surviving to invade the fortress territories. With 22 or so wasteland inhabitants to restore it in a billion years of game time. Buffer zones of death wasteland is a why I never lose in GK2.





22 people in China with zero loyalty and nothing to make them loyal to anyone trying to rebuild it, and Chinese merchants still exist somehow and still want to do business with the Apocalypse maker.

Just delete China after you take Annam and Tibet and you automatically win with Burmese war elephants, then delete every territory you conquer after that. Only three territories left in existence.



Only 1 Mongol unit carrying 100 food, plunder the village on the south border with Annam then flee back to Annam after 26 days of looting(generates endless loot)several revolts later conquer it, depopulate it by recruiting soldiers and generals to send them on suicide missions, then allocate labor to 100% specialty item production then recruit a general to rule it and abandon the territory. Anyone stupid enough to invade enters The Apocalypse wasteland on the border of your three territory fortress.

Tibet labor allocation 27 27 1 45

Annam 30 20 10 40

Burma 20 30 25 25 (produces expensive spice to sell and war elephants for fortresses)

The key is only three territories that are not post-apocalyptic wasteland by doing to everyone what you did to China, not empire building. Play as the Apocalypse incarnate in Genghis Khan II because "It is easier to destroy than it is to build." ~ Genghis Khan

Abaga is well suited to a destroyer of worlds role by abandoning his three starting territories, joining all his army units in Persia, then taking Punjab, followed by Hindustan and settling in Burma to take Annam and Tibet as three fortress territories to raid China every day for endless loot easily, delete China making Annam unassailable and stock Tibet mountain fortress with Burmese war elephants and Mongols. Then methodically delete every other territory leaving only his fortresses in existence. Easy conquest of the Old World, try to beat me in multiplayer.

I'm working on a savegame with only the three fortress territories not deleted and the rest of the world a lifeless wasteland called "Marsforming not Terraforming", Mars is 100% peaceful because it's lifeless with no humans on it, ironic as the god of war planet. Where there is life there is violence. Eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest and everything bleeds except the fossil remains of the prey.

Given that Annam is the central territory with maximum defense rating of the three territory Abaga apocalypse empire in a Marsforming of the Earth, it allows you to move troops and resources to and from Burma and Tibet making it the ideal capital of The Apocalypse extinction level event epicenter. Destroying everything is easy making advice to the contrary the only difficulty of wasteland obliteration, advisors are useless but recruit random generals at Annam until you get one named Wang because only a dick would give you useful advice.



Even if his stats suck it's being a Wang that matters.

I played through Octopath Traveler 2 mostly over Christmas weekend. I really enjoyed it.

More on Genghis Khan II the Marsforming of Earth, the standard Mongol army is 1 light infantry, 3 shortbow units, 2 nomads and 6 Mongol units. Add 8 war elephants from Burma to complete the max 20 units. You can attack with the Mongol army and leave the war elephants for defense because they have the best armor, inside a castle they can withstand a large army with ranged attacks and they are excellent in melee, do not exit castle to combine their armor with your castle defense rating. If they are defeated they take most of the invaders with them which you can retake with the Mongol army. Works well when you are attacking from a territory bordering with two or more territories. When there is only one territory bordering yours take the war elephants with you, tank you very much.



Best combination of offense and defense in the Old World. Remember, war elephants in your castles and Mongol army attacking invaders.

The UN should have a special event to commemorate 2023 on New Years Day, where all the world leaders have a kumbaya moment holding hands in a circle frotting with and around a giant whale dick the size of a boat.
