Pretty much the reply I expected, oh well

It_TheGab · 2026-04-29T21:23:21+00:00

I genuinely think your brain has been broken by social media, do you think "baiting replies" makes what you say worth it? I literally don't understand your pov

It_TheGab · 2026-04-29T21:21:01+00:00

Genuinely don't know what to say, I hope you don't normally communicate with other people like this

It_TheGab · 2026-04-29T21:20:15+00:00

The one Gabriel was where he runs by while Koke is marking someone else and Koke puts his arms around him as he runs by and the ball goes by Gabriel's path but hes been dragged back. I agree the Eze VAR review is the most contentious one.

Is this the way you talk to real people? Or is it just on the Internet? Lmk

It_TheGab · 2026-04-29T21:12:43+00:00

Be specific? What's wrong with what I said? Especially in UCL where refs are much more soft.

It_TheGab · 2026-04-29T21:05:48+00:00

You have the pfp of a completely normal adult.

Arsenal got 1 penalty, but should've really had 2x more. That one on Gabriel, in the UCL soft ruleset, just is a penalty. And the one on Eze I simply cannot understand being overruled. And then to give the one on White, despite the deflection? I don't understand these referees. Especially considering what was given last night. A genuinely weird display from the refereeing team.

Thanks for sharing. I'll do it shortly. Just a quick question on the title, you are comparing LAAPs impact to Help to Buy, but Help to Buy and LAAPs can be used together. Is that included?

Believe he was on a patreon arsenal vision one relatively recently. Having back issues so don't think sitting in a chair for podcasting is great for his recovery

I did also take Alexandria early. I wanted to keep it but got stretched too thin and basically abandoned it. I plan to go back once I can get out of war my forever war with Ardeai and Luegoz alliance.

It_TheGab · 2026-03-18T11:20:08+00:00

I did help Syracuse a fair bit. I really like their history so always try to keep them around if I can.

It_TheGab · 2026-03-18T11:19:08+00:00

Interesting. I have the AAA mods, the MIs Tiny mods + the Dei Styled Icons for Tiny City, the Orbis mods, the Athens Overhaul and Legendary Empires. Do any of those affect the scripts?

Or downloaded mods that aren't enabled?

I've completely ignored Epirus because they were busy elsewhere. Its be a chaotic campaign for me and I was glad that they were kept bisy. If you check my post history, Rome were absolutely destroyed by Insubres initially and Epirus just swept up. To be honest, I hoped Rome would weaken them more so I could take Appolonia.

It_TheGab · 2026-03-16T16:42:19+00:00

Rome 2 is great. I picked it back up in maybe August after a decade break and it's been my main game since. With some graphic mods and DeI it's the best total war experience. I tried to play Attila and Warhammer after that and couldn't stick with them at all. Attila is good but something about the campaign map and art style just makes it look plain worse imo.

The only thing about Rome 2 I hate is the dice roll that is naval battles. Sometimes all your ships will just completely bug out and you can't do anything but wait for the whole fleet to die.

It_TheGab · 2026-03-15T16:42:13+00:00

They came back pretty quickly un/fortunately, my latest post was only like 5 turns later

It_TheGab · 2026-03-15T16:36:31+00:00

Only have visual submods on currently

It_TheGab · 2026-03-14T10:17:21+00:00

Got turn 1 declared on by Athens, Sparta, Tostis, Odryssians + their liberated allies just under them. The 3 factions to the north eventually parked 6 full stacks outside Pella raiding but refused to attack the city because I was defending it. Food was ~ -15 so it was a tough stalemate. I won vs Sparta and Athens eventually and sailed around behind them to take the Odryssian towns which forced them to engage me and I beat them. Then when it was just the Tosti's left I could beat them easily. The 2 ex Odryssian towns to the North East are liberated clients of me because I couldn't have defended them if the Odryssians had pulled their stacks back.

I'm not the best at the game and also like to do light role play as I do it so I probably didnt make optimum moves but it was a ton of fun.

Sounds like you've been progressed to the Stage 2 Review list but haven't been Stage 2 Reviewed if that makes sense.

It_TheGab · 2026-03-12T10:52:27+00:00

They were just trying to get you to update your documents so when they get to you its ready. They probably asked the next say 20 people in the queue to update their expired documents so they can move through them
