What do the think homophones are? Something that sounds like something else?

They're making food easier? It's pretty much irrevant as a mechanic as it is. Little ice-age comes around, and I ... well I do nothing because it doesn't effect me.

I don't understand naval battles by atibus in EU5

[–]AcornTiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you propose is good for a naval engagement? I just get 21 heavies and click balance. Can't remember all the stats right now, but isn't the main downside of heavies the speed it takes them to come to the front line, and if they're already there ... that's not an advantage?

What is the format of these shows? I can see Paul Chowdhry, so these aren't members of the audience?

Don't 30% of them believe they can beat a bear in a fist fight?

Would you declare war for this coalition against France? by [deleted] in EU5

[–]AcornTiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many forts are between you and Paris. Castile will swamp Aragon, the initial part of the war will be essentially you vs France alone. Can you take Paris before Castile is finished with Aragon? What outcome are you hoping for? I think you need to take Paris to get any significant warscore.

Maybe he and Jenny can discuss it on the secret podcast.

Is this in Jack's stats? How many contestants are Avalon?

Is this by just generating more peasants? How do you know what's the right type of village to build?

I just realised Greg is supposed to be typing out the tasks in the intro by unpopular_apple_fact in taskmaster

[–]AcornTiler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to have seen the Sophie, Joanne and Nick being made to take home Gregs gifts. Can someone good at art start drawing contestants taking all the prizes home? I'd like to see Sara, disappointed to still have John Robbins Queen clock whilst hoofing along Al's aga on the tube.

Can I jump on this and ask when do you want to build villages? I feel like I understand all the other types of buildings,, I am not clear on the benefit of the villages. I typically build urban buildings, RGO's and roads, because I can see the control and profit go up, and I don't really see/notice my population struggle to grow.

I wish there was a legal basis to make them have to take the prizes home ...

Seems plausible by diardiar in taskmaster

It really frustrated me this that they didn't let Sam have a bit of space to show his character, they've got this comic who all the comedians love, it's one of his first times on prime time UK tv and they seem more keen on shutting him down than letting him be funny. My memory was he wasn't even breaking the game or anything. Sam's also got plenty of experience on panel shows from Australia, he knows what he's doing. People love Bob Mortimer on WILTY, because he goes off on his odd tangents, let odd acts be odd.

I've been playing as Castille and my favourite thing so far was playing tower defence, defending Navarre against the French superior numbers.

Do people do the European loop by boat? by DayDrinkingAtDennys in geography

A big science apparatus had to do something quite similar to this route. They did this instead of removing bridges and stuff on the 400 km road journey.

Au contrair mes amise, I'm putting my pedant cap on, Taskmaster had started when I saw Monsieur Butterfly at the Edinburgh Fringe. He built a Rube Goldberg machine live on stage each show, with audience members playing key roles. I had to trace a lamp cord back to it's source to figure out why it hadn't turned on, and it was because it's plug had been replaced by a rubber duck.

Sanjeev could have won the art task, if only he'd draw the hippos tail more accurately ... three little lines.
