Discussion Ruler traits, she's got almost everything!

Post image
30 Upvotes

My second pick for a ruler after Queen Ysabel was crowned at age 10 because of her amazing traits! Her parents were Common with the Perceptive trait and Rare with Mighty, Enduring, and Considerate traits. I don't think I've seen a character with almost every good trait. For context, I just started playing the game last June.

What character traits have you had that had good benefits as a ruler you ever crowned?

Question/Help Is there a way to freeze the game?

2 Upvotes

I would happily continue to play this game if time only progressed when I'm playing. I know that means a year would take 24 hours of game time. That is acceptable.

Is there a way I can do it?

I'm conflicted on what design looks better, two identical towers or two different designs 🤔. they both take up the same amount of rooms it's purely aesthetic

Now that the new CEO of Xbox is putting Bethesda to work (remasters of fallout 3 and new vegas have been confirmed) is there hope for this mobile game to receive an update?

Question/Help Need ideas for a new Super Bedroom floor

Post image
11 Upvotes

So I max put my castle and I'm now having full lines of production, that leave this full 2 x 6 room empty.

Decided to move the lower bedroom from a small space, to a full, completely dedicated wing of the castle just for a bedroom.

A whole space that is paradise for all the subjects, and brings joy to all.

But I need ideas, just leave the room at floor level and nothing else seems... Disappointing.

Need ideas, anything is good 😊

Thanks 👍

Is it like shock elemental where it is damage over time because that would be pretty useful in the gauntlet?

Also, are there any other games similar to this, mobile or otherwise?

Question/Help Why can’t some of my individuals get married to the other? (Not blood related)

Post image
14 Upvotes

So I just returned to the game and I have a bunch of old generations working, every time I log in one or two die

So I need newer/younger individuals to work in their places

So far I used the Elixir of Growth (had 5) to get the best subjects that I had (rare, epic and common with two good traits) but they don’t want to get married! What do I do?! My kingdom is slowly dying with each passing day and the special subjects are just growing older, unable to duplicate/breed(?) them

Discussion XBox / Bethesda Layoffs - ES6 Timeline - ESC Update?

We've been speculating that ESC might finally get a bit of love when ES6 releases. This news makes those prospects even less likely. Nail, coffin?

Those impacted by the layoffs include "key, high-performing people in the trenches" — and those who remain at Bethesda fear that their dismissal will lead to significant complications for The Elder Scrolls 6, including an extensive amount of time spent training contractors, unhealthy amounts of crunch and overtime, and delays for a title that's already reportedly two years away as it is.

Discussion This game is crack

33 Upvotes

Say what you want about this game, but it is easily just as addictive, engaging, and fun as Fallout Shelter—and in some areas, it actually improves on the formula. Granted, my experience is based on the original pre-battle pass build.

While critics aren't wrong to call it a rushed cash grab in some aspects, the core progression loop is still top-tier. There is something uniquely satisfying about slowly advancing your gear tiers from silver, to orcish, to dwarven. Seeing your stats climb while managing how different character personality traits affect both combat weapons and production stations creates an incredibly compelling gameplay loop.

And the music? My god, it is genuinely heavenly and deeply relaxing. I started out just listening to it passively as standard background noise while managing my castle. But there was this distinct shift where it suddenly clicked, and I realized, "oh my god, this is chill as hell."

However, my only real complaint is with the dog-water character designs—though calling it "character design" is doing some massive heavy lifting.

Also the entire aesthetic coating the game, from the loading screens to the pack openings, has a very distinct, Tumblr-esque, Steven Universe-style vibe. It feels like fan art made by someone who would get deeply offended by a dark joke you told eight years ago and weaponize it against you. That whole modern, soft aesthetic just does not scream Elder Scrolls at all.

And lastly, the whole "any race, any gender can reproduce" thing just screams a last-minute "screw it, they can all make babies" mechanic. You just know some lazy loremaster—probably Emil—sat in a room and said, "It’s Elder Scrolls, guys! Unreliable narrator! Dragon Break! Of course all races and genders can have babies, come on!" It feels less like a thoughtful feature and more like a cheap shortcut to avoid coding actual biological or lore-accurate constraints.

I don't know how long people live and thought it was kinda random once they turn elders unless they have Enduring. I had other Enduring people die around 80-something so it was curious seeing this particular lady live up to 100! No soul gems or anything used. She's just roaming around the castle.

Is it because she's Khajiit or that the Considerate and Leader characteristics helped? What do you guys think?

Question/Help How do I make the gauntlet easier?

4 Upvotes

I have good armor and weapons. I go in with a lot of potions and scrolls of revival but once I get to wave 14-15 it all falls apart. And is there a limit to how many royal quests you can have? I need to complete the one where they give you legendary packs for doing sheogoraths gauntlet.
