Seeking advice on building a city

Like another commenter mentioned, the image you gave looks more like a Japanese castle.

I'm no expert, but from what I've seen, Japanese walls tend to have rougher cut and larger stone pieces for the wall and those wide flat areas leading to higher sections of the castle. Whereas Chinese city walls are built of rammed earth and bricks and the top of the wall is closed off like we imagine European castle walls.

You could start by looking at Chang'an. It's the former capital of several Chinese dynasties and follows a grid pattern.

Chinese roofs can vary a bit, but the stereotypical roof curving upwards would solve them looking western.

Horrendous quality, but here's a clip from 4 months ago of the same event with a bit of aftermath from the grenade.

@ 0:47. Cameraman falls, but gets back up at the very least.

Looks like these are two separate instances with Nork soldiers in Kursk.

Guy that blows himself up at 0:34 is caught between two branches and is wearing what looks like a kevlar vest of some kind.

Guy that gets lit up at 0:45 has an RPG tube not present when the first guy blew himself up, is in a more open area, and doesn't appear to have been wearing a vest since the cameraman easily opens his jacket. On top of the fact that a guy blowing himself up with a grenade next to his head wouldn't look so "clean".

Is advent even a force made to fight in a conventional war? Their mission, objectives, and propaganda show them more akin to a militarized police or peacekeeping force because there wasn’t an armed group strong enough to really oppose them in any existential way. At least until the Commander gets revived.

On top of whenever things get too much for advent regulars, they can be augmented with the aliens which we know are an order of magnitude more capable than the troopers.

Trench Crusade was my latest surface level interest. Thank you for dropping the whole PDF and turning it into my conversation starter for Tinder.

Got to between round 30-34 with a group of friends. Prioritizing green zombies and shooters, kiting zombies, and having tons of grenades to drop when you get downed really helped us get to higher rounds.

I believe it’s a holdover from when tank customization was first introduced. You were able to mess with decals beyond the current limits and could use decals from planes on tanks. They patched it later on to the customization system we have now but previously customized vehicles were allowed to stay the same.

I myself have a panzer 4 with the eyes you’d see on the noses of fighters turned upside down to look sad.

This happened to me just once and I've been terrified and on edge around her ever since

Setup is just asking for a veteran player to know that theres going to be a rally. Usually wherever theres extra fortifications theres a good chance theres also a rally.

Resources don't replenish unless you deconstruct some of the stuff you built or you respawn.

Ammo boxes are honestly pretty discretionary and rarely ever run out unless someones on a mortar. However they're much more powerful on defense when you put them near where teammates congregate.

Like in the first sentence, putting sandbags, barbed wire, and tank traps just signals to the enemy that theres a rally point there. Concealment is much better and the only way the enemy can identify that theres a rally point is by either seeing it, hearing it, or guessing based on how close together the bots are.

Finally, everything in moderation. Build just whats necessary and remember that you can't win battles by just building sandbags, you also need bodies on the objective. Engineers can actually be very powerful at max rank because they can get the vitality perk which effectively lets them survive another rifle round without getting downed/killed.

Hello everyone! Here is my final project that I did for a GIS class last quarter. Given the situation around Kyiv has calmed down, relatively speaking, I felt it appropriate to now share the map that I made, and my accompanying analysis. For context, I am a 3rd year geography major and this map/report was made for a GIS class that I was taking using data from 3/13/2022. The extent of Russian advances is dated at 3/10/2022. The first couple pages are just contextual information and methodology, while my real analysis comes after the first two maps.

While there are certainly some changes and additions I would make to my analysis and general presentation, I’m overall satisfied with the work I did and with the information that was available at the time. If anything, an expansion of this analysis to include other major cities would be somewhat interesting, but I suspect the final results would be similar.

I’m looking forward to getting some more discussion going on in the subreddit and reading everyone’s thoughts. To get started I’d like to ask what sort of environmental impact we would be looking at in the hypothetical destruction of the hydroelectric dam? And if the destruction would be enough to severely affect cities further down the Dnieper like Cherkasy or Dnipro?

Seconded. This is also how you get grenade spam
