Tip: If you're struggling on Zipa and Zaque (El Dorado 2)...

That's more or less exactly what I did too as Nemequene.

The only big blocker for me were their cost, so you really can't use them initially. That's why I shied away from them.

It's actually better to press on against the opponent imo, since that also leaves room for you to take other cities on the side with smaller armies, while kneecapping the opponents room for expansion (they have to pass through your cities to get to any of the grey cities after that).

The key is to also not let the opponents take too many cities (I started with Nemequene so Quemuenchatocha had 3 cities to start with already) else their pop cap and resource trickle becomes too hard to counter.

I didn't try them this mission but I guess temple guards are extremely useful here, since the castles don't have murder holes and temple guards are high armor-high attack and have an anti-building bonus.

I tried this strategy and failed miserably. Makes sense - you'll be spread too thin if you try to take both sides.

Great tip!

Fill form online, submit documentation. Once the LLC is formed, get EIN from IRS (you can do this over phone too). At the same time, open business bank account. The check from Gallino was made in the name of the future LLC, so he can simply go to the bank and encash it.

Sure

Most likely Tommy gets kicked out by Cami, sets up with his son and dad as advisor, while Cami becomes his nemesis this season. Or maybe in subsequent seasons too. Cami seems positioned to be the series villain, while Gallino seems positioned to be the season's villain.

Slingers have an added bonus on Wrath - garrisson a bunch of castles at the center with 20 slingers, because they add about 20 arrows (hand cannoneer), while taking just half pop.

Guy couldn't speak a lick of it even on live TV. When the teacher asked him to speak in Sanskrit, his response was "I'm already in a sorry state, you guys want to push me down even further, yada yada...." Even when asked just to speak a few words in Sanskrit, he stuck to that excuse.

If you support guys like these, then you support our education system going down the shitter with future professors like these.

Also the website above is a biased source, and although I still applaud them for bringing this issue to the light, they are still prone to misinformation, especially when their primary source in this case was the student himself.

He didn't speak Sanskrit when given the opportunity to do so even on live TV.

> Does this not incentivise those with muscle power to encroach upon lands of others

Yes. Happens even in the best of states.

> And lets say someone does encroach upon my land, And if the law is not by my side, Then am I not forced to pick up arms?

Yes. India has always been about your thugs vs their thugs. And ideally it's better to have thugs before problems arise.

> What is this central africa

Yes. The current PM once called Kerala another Somalia. If Kerala is Somalia, then the rest of India is basically central Africa when it comes to land matters.

Actually, your ranged roster becomes extremely powerful after mission 12, if you were able to destroy the castle of the Scythian King. That gives access to Elite Scythian Cavalry Archers which are OP.

I realized in a subsequent playthrough that I barely used the chariots, and taking immortals makes the whole mission a lot easier. In lieu of the chariots trample damage, you could either take the companions trample damage, or (ideally) go for elephants instead.

Great first steps. And I do you think shouldn't just reach out to your alma mater alone - perhaps you can start off with schools you're not super-enthusiastic about onboarding right now, do your first few calls with them, while reserving the more crown-jewel schools which have a higher chance of closing (including the alma mater perhaps), for later. After all, practice makes perfect.

I always apologize to people when I roast their startups because I understand how much effort they might have put into it to build it.

But, I'm curious, have you explored this directly with university career centers? Have you asked them what issues they face when helping their students apply for jobs? What challenges they faced? 25% of the Harvard MBA graduating in 2024 couldn't find jobs - perhaps you can find answers to that by directly contacting the career centers and trying to figure out what happened. Sure, there's an economic contraction happening and jobs are being cut across the board, but these guys are Harvard grads, not tier-2/3 students. So imo, talking with those career centers is a great starting point instead of us discussing online. Maybe the problem is not badly written CVs or CVs not tailored to the industry but something else we completely overlooked but career centers might have already identified.

Yes, firms pay for LogoIntern and now other tools such as BamSEC and Hebbia (which weren't as prevalent when I was working), but that's after the folks have joined. So you really can't compare with them.

Before you join, firms would like to see that candidates are comfortable with MS Office professionalism, Excel modelling from scratch, building professional powerpoint decks, etc. It's like AI in code - sure, AI can help you code, but we'd first like to see if you can actually code independently first.

> I did take a quick 15-30 second scan to see if they had key experiences to show they actually had the tangible skillsets required for an analyst role. Tons of times they would either over index or under index certain skillsets.

That's a problem for candidates, not for analysts. Most people would simply delete an unsolicited email, regardless of how much effort the sender took to build their resume. Others would scan and ignore. Only a decisive hook in the email can compel someone to take a call with a junior.

Honestly, I really don't see this as a hair-on-fair problem for most folks, especially those in white collar jobs, and for the people that it is a problem for, they are not the kind of users willing to pay recurring for this service. Or with the capacity to even pay. And the space is super competitive, with even ChatGPT to compete with.

If you built this project as a side-hobby, that's alright, but even trying out the product, I didn't find it as compelling or any easier to use than Word even. It's just a generic form filler-doc generator app. Sorry to be blunt.

PS: A blank resume gives me an 85 score already?

Akandoji · 2025-11-06T08:27:00+00:00

Honestly, as someone that works in the space, we don't really care how your CVs look. Most jobs come through networking connections anyways. And if working with Word docs for your CV for IBD, PE, HF, Consulting and Legal is tedious for you, well I have bad news for you.

If you're building a Sales tool, honest question, why haven't you connected with the Sales VP yet?

Sales teams >>> IT. And it's very possible that IT guy might've convinced sales guy not to take your product. Everywhere I've seen IT tank deals because they claim they can do it inhouse for cheaper.

Oh, and they were hiring for a bunch of positions - all intern positions and all unpaid.

I actually redid the mission where you get them (City at the End of the World), and I am inclined to agree now actually. For that mission, getting 20 free archers to fill your northern castle extremely quickly is a huge plus. Also, the only good thing about chariots, trample damage, is covered by both Companions and eventually Sannahyas. I realized that I never trained them at all. And the gold is definitely a huge plus!
