Ah yes, the Cilemy, our closest allies and the ones who came to our help in a war with our two major neighbors... the Fanatic Xenophobes. The most amusing thing in Stellaris is when a fanatic xenophobe who outguns you to the point of ridicule just decides they like you most among their neighbors, helps you in a war of aggression your neighbors have declared on you and then continues onward to form a federation with you (and another xenophobic nation they border).

Having a problem with CK2. I don't play it vanilla (I abhor vanilla CK2) and I've tried three mods on two different versions and the entire map is gray. I can see coats of arms, menus, the UI, all that, but no map.

Elder Kings (for 3.3.x), Triforce Kings, and the Avatar mod (for 2.8.5.x, I believe).

Hm. My best guess is something isn't installed properly, like, the map folder isn't where it's supposed to be.

I installed Triforce Kings exactly like how you're supposed to install manual mods, and validating the files didn't do anything. Elder Kings and the Avatar mod are both from the Workshop.

Tried to make the Aurum (from KI:U) in Stellaris. None of the portraits work well, but they're basically Terravore Lithoids, so I decided to go with that.

Anyone here know how to make custom portraits? I kinda wanna make Stellaurum a thing.

These'll be a good pair of sources, I think, for your purpose. They're straight from the horse's mouth no less.

Out of all of the things that Imperator is doing, the "keystone" effects are my favorite. Would love to see that sort of pseudo-RP exclusivity in other PDS games.

TFW France is more Scottish than French.

Oh, well, I guess its no different than the Byzantines calling themselves "Romaioi" despite clearly being infinitely more Greek than Roman.
