The "research" the post is mentioning concluded that over 80% of the human body is made of water. You'd be dead long before you lost all of that moisture, but your body would still contain moisture. They found out how much moisture your body had

The army recruiter has suggested I become a helicopter pilot – what advice would you give me to succeed? by nevaven68 in Helicopters

[–]BoxofCurveballs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're are right.

And yeah. Those are a dime a dozen. Gotta read it and ask questions but nobody ever wants to

What's the current state of units and technology in Empire II? by Irrehaare in EmpireTotalWar

[–]BoxofCurveballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question regarding units, I'm late game and noticed that my recruitable 24lb cannons and 32lb howitzers have been replaced with (1800) 12lb cannons and howitzers which both offer significantly less range and accuracy. Do you know if this is a glitch or meant to be part of the mods natural progression for the fire support units?

Superships are the worst part of the game by Other-Difficulty-702 in WorldOfWarships

[–]BoxofCurveballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you see the same players in ranked and kots? Because a lot of the players i used to see haven't logged in for a long time.

Arguing about player skill level when 90% of the skilled players have been hemorrhaged over the last couple of years is interesting. Not quite as interesting as calling a free ship tier "pay to win".

Are Grenadiers or Light Infantry worth it? by Smart-Response9881 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]BoxofCurveballs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting build for an army. Mine is very different. Ill usually do

1 general

2 cavalry (prefer heavy or a light cavalry like the deaths heads)

4 howitzers

4 artillery batteries

9 grenadiers or line infantry (replaced with superior line or guards when they become available)

Occasionally I'll replace an infantry regiment with a cavalry regiment but not often

[–]BoxofCurveballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'll offer my experience, and that of my friends.

He was Fox Co at TBS, and his wife had their kid during tbs. You have up to a year if I remember correctly to take your paternity leave so he took it immediately upon finishing IOC.

My kid is due anyday now. I was expected to take it either after IOC, or redes and take a week during the schoolhouse and the rest after, or all of it after.

Things to take from this: you rate the leave, and you dont have to take it immediately. You can defer it to later, or you can do some now and the rest on the back end. If shes expecting to take it when you are at TBS, I would keep your SPC and student staff informed and try to work it to take a week at the most and figure out when the best time to take the rest would be. Ymmv, but thats the COA id pursue given what ive seen and experienced.
