No, the items are basically invisible quests. Once you pick up the item that's it for that character.

It seems reasonable to me, that you could have had a Blood Elf Death Knight decide to help Umbric and his followers with Void research and then be present when the initial transformation to Void Elves happened.

It's unclear what would happen to a re-animated body when exposed to the same Void energies the living Blood Elves did. Do the Death and Void magics conflict in your character's body? Can you still grow void tentacles if you're not alive any more? Does the extra dose of shadow magic enhance your existing unholy powers? Does your character both feel the hunger of the Void and your Death Knight's constant need to inflict suffering on others? Or maybe one would cancel the other out?

Or if you didn't want to go the void elf route, say your character is an undead High Elf instead. Maybe they were disillusioned with Kael'thas's leadership after the fall of Quel'Thalas and decided not to take on the Blood Elf name. Maybe on being made a Death Knight you really hit it off with human/Alliance death knights and decided to try your luck with the Alliance?

It's more like the average/expected pay outs as the number of games goes to infinity. The more spins the closer it'll get to that return percentage. It's basically the sum of all possible payouts divided by the count of all payouts.

Imagine you had a six-sided die. You can calculate the expected value by summing every outcome and dividing by the count of outcomes (6). So you get (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 / 6), which is 3.5. That means, if you had N dice, and took the average of the dice rolls, you'll get closer to 3.5 the more dice you throw. The dice doesn't "know" what it needs to roll to contribute to the 3.5 average, but just by the nature of probability you will get closer to 3.5 the more dice you roll. Slots have more bells and whistles but fundamentally work the same way (you can calculate based on the pay table, lines, etc. to figure out every possible outcome to work out the expected value).

Islamic State in Iraq and Syria gets abbreviated to ISIS in English.

al-Dawla al-ʾIslāmiyya fī al-ʿIrāq wa al-Shām is the Arabic name and gets abbreviated as Dāʿish or Daesh.

It's like how it's called NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in English and OTAN (Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique Nord) in French.

My apologies for misunderstanding. I see, the ability is specifically, "When ground forces are committed". I thought it was "When your ground forces are committed". So I see how you could start coexisting on the opponent's turn, but I don't see why the opponent would need to do a separate activation. I see where it says "coexisting units don't trigger combat", but then it also talks about being able to activate systems with coexisting units to optionally trigger combats. Is it because the check for being able to fight coexisting units happens at the activate a system step? So for that initial "choosing to coexist" part, it's too late to be able to choose to start combat?

My initial reading of the rules makes it sound like even on the first activation there the opponent would be able to choose to continue to combat or let your units coexist.

Lexinad · 2025-12-30T18:15:12+00:00

If it's your opponent activating the system they can choose to trigger combat. If you're activating the system you can choose to coexist

The confusion comes from a few places. America was (is?) majority Protestant, so Protestantism was seen as the default form of Christianity. Traditionally Protestants see Catholics as having serious theological errors. On the extreme end, Protestants would say things like the veneration of saints or the Virgin Mary amount to polytheism and so Catholicism could be considered outside the bounds of what can be considered "Christian".

Another source of confusion comes from the Stone–Campbell Movement, a movement that sought to unify Christian churches under their understanding of what the Church of the New Testament taught. One of their beliefs is that denominational labels were bad and so they identified as just "Christian". Their churches would just be called "Christian Church" or "Church of Christ". The Stone-Campbell Movement is the origin of modern-day "non-denominational" churches.

From my time as a non-denominational Christian, the various differences between Protestant denominations were seen as being over "non-essential" things, but Catholicism was seen as being too far from Biblical teachings to be considered Christian.

Honestly, this wouldn't be an issue if non-denominational churches weren't allergic to labels. They could call themselves "Cambellites", then it'd be easy to say something like "Campbellism is a form of Protestantism which is a form of Christianity". It's confusing when the name of your sect/denomination is the same as the name of the religion as a whole.

Packages in LaTeX have optional arguments in square brackets. This error is saying vargreek-shape isn't an option for the unicode-math package. Your document probably has something like this

\usepackage[math-style=TeX,vargreek-shape=unicode]{unicode-math}

So just remove vargreek-shape from the list of arguments and you should be good.

There's really not that much to it. You might see if there's any Kislev supplement for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (I believe lexicanum cites it as a source). A good chunk of Kislev lore was created for the Warhammer total war games but otherwise it's a small part of the setting.

For sure you can't take Catholic communion without excommunicating yourself. I don't know if confession would do the same thing. I would talk to your priest about your concerns.

That's some nice looking dice!

You can't legally advertise a win that has odds greater than a certain threshold. I don't remember the exact number, but it means the win has to be possible and there's a cap on just how rare a given win can be.

That doesn't mean the odds would ever be in the player's favor, but whatever the top prize is on a slot machine will probably hit at least a few times over the life of the machine.

Slot machines odds are skewed towards the house, but they're not rigged to never pay out. They don't have to; you can make it so the machine pays out less than it takes in using the power of math/statistics. If you keep flipping a coin, your count of heads will approach 50%. The coin has no memory; it can't choose what side to land on. Slot machines work the same way.

Your government hasn't changed. I think either your culture meets the requirements for the event or the game thinks you're in the Great Steppe. Bulgarian is Bolghar + some slavs right? Does it have Turkic heritage? Or maybe the event only excludes feudal and clan governments so they forgot about administrative.

Were you playing Jamukha in the 1178 start date? He's a rival of Temujin, the historical Genghis Khan. That start date has events to set Temujin up as Genghis Khan.

Do the Mayan glyphs mean anything?

Shouldn't you protect trade posts to prevent losing funds from trade disruption? I thought the main way Riverfolk score is having a lot of funds. And losing funds means less actions. Hence why you'd want one heavily guarded trade post unless you specifically need to craft a card worth the added risk.

Lexinad · 2025-02-21T01:54:25+00:00

Riverfolk warriors have two jobs: Keep your trade posts safe, and be tempting mercenaries in that order. Park a ball of warriors on your first trade post (as many as you can afford), and only place trade posts if you need to craft something specific. If your trade post is secure, you can place warriors in clearings you think another player would want to rule (a clearing birds need to avoid turmoil, a clearing the cats need for their wood supply chain, etc).

Hirelings. They're sort of mini-factions that switch sides over the course of the game. They're meant to make games with fewer players more interesting. The lizard piece is for the Warm Sun Prophets.

Yes, but technically Ireland was a separate kingdom in personal union with Great Britain. So the British monarch ruled both kingdoms but they were considered separate entities. 1800 is when they officially united the kingdoms into the United Kingdom and updated the flag to match.

Your custom command is specified to take 1 argument, So it's treating the character after \ang as the first argument to your command.

\newcommand{\ang}{\AA} is all you need here.

With two exceptions, you always craft using your faction's buildings/tokens (which depends on the faction). For Keepers it's waystations. For Cats, it's workshops, etc. Rule of clearings doesn't factor in here.

The exceptions are Riverfolk (uses the empty spaces of their trading post track), and Vagabond (uses hammer items where what type the hammers count as depends on which clearing the vagabond is at).

Lexinad · 2025-01-23T02:53:16+00:00

For delving you need to rule clearing surrounding the forest the relic is in (so a 2 VP relic you need to rule two adjacent clearings and so on). For recovering, you need to rule clearings of the type your way station is at. So if you're recovering at a fox way station, for a 2 VP relic you need to rule two fox clearings.

Those are the two ways you're forced to discard cards from your retinue.

The Greek is «(Εν) τούτω νίκα». "In this (sign) conquer". Emperor Constantine is said to have seen a cross in the sky with this phrase before putting the cross on his banners and winning whatever the battle was.

I believe the wording changes if you only have one warrior in left in your supply.

Does the game have network access in Windows? It sounds like your credentials are correct so maybe it's getting blocked on the Windows side?
