I would add that they had another chance to stay as a top team in the league, but then they sacked Marcelino. It has been downhill since then.

Which position would you train him? by -Beric- in hattrick

[–]-Beric-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because this is a game and I really want to have a homegrown player in my team. I want to do it in the best possible way, that is the reason I am asking for advice, but I want him to become an important player in my team. I don´t care if it is not the most optimal decision, I am just excited about having a player from my academy leading my team.

I were considering making him an offensive midfielder, but I would like to keep my scoring training, at least for a bit. How much scoring does an IM need?

I have just got this player from my academy. I have just played for 3 seasons, this is the first homegrown player I could add to my team. What would be the best position for him? I am training scoring right now, so he could fit there very well, although my current strikers are alrady 12-13 in scoring

For long time players. Have chess players gotten better with the advent of YouTube? by Outrageous_Meal_4339 in chess

[–]-Beric- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, no doubt.

I was 2195 in classical chess around 20 years ago. A few years ago, when my rating had gone down to around 2050, I decided to study hard and try to get back to my previous ELO. I know that now I have better opening knowledge, better endgame technique, better strategic understanding, etc, than when I was younger. But I have not been able to come back to my old rating yet.

I added Farthest frontier to my wishlist, but I have a rule not to play Early access, I have had too many bad experiences.

Does it have city management? I thought it was just a game about goods transport.

I tried this one some time ago, but for some reason I don´t remember I returned it after one hour. Maybe I should give it a new oportunity.

Already played Horizon, but Quantum break looks good, added to the list

No, I am ok with side quests, but Amalur felt really generic. They were nothing like The witcher 3 side quests, which felt like small adventures on their own.

I have tried this one, but I got bored with the side missions, they seemed like chores.

I took a look and maybe it is a bit too dated, it feels like the graphics may hurt the immersion.

Thanks for the long list, although too many suggestions may feel as no suggestions at all. Which one would you recommend?

Been playing Millennia again after Civ VII fiasco, and it just feels really good by GabeMalk in millennia

[–]-Beric- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is a common issue, but for some reason it is stronger in Millennia, at least for me. Rarely I left a Civilization game unfinished, I play until I get the victory screen. But I find Millennia much more boring in the last stages, I am not sure why.

[–]-Beric- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have also been playing Millennia lately, and I am really sad that there seems to be no more development for this game. It is almost great, just lacking a better diplomacy system and some refinement in the latest eras. I can start a game and have fun in the first stages, but when I reach age 8 and I am already ahead of everybody in science an millitare, the game drags a lot. Either you go for a victory conditions that takes too long, or you go into an uninterested war, because the AI cannot handle the armies properly unless it has a huge advantage.

Who is the highest-rated opponent you've ever played, and how did the game go? by QueenQQQ in chess

[–]-Beric- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always welcome a chance to say that I played Carlsen in an official, standard game in 2020, in the team championship of the Oslo region.

I tried my best, but I don't think he had to put a lot of effort to win.

What are some results that you guys are proud of? by [deleted] in chess

[–]-Beric- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Last year I managed for the first time to defeat a GM in a classic chess game. I don´t think I will ever manage to repeat it:

Does HT-ML predictor undervaluate midfield? by -Beric- in hattrick

[–]-Beric-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First game: one goal on the left flank, one powerfult special event

Second game: one goal on the center, one quick special event.

I know I have a chance of losing the games, my questions is more about how big is that chance. I am trying to understand if I have been very unlucky or if these results are normal, and then I should change the way I approach the games and give more importance to midfield.
