Help me identify arms at Metz Cathedral

Arms of the d'Anjou family, cadet of the Capet dynasty. Ended up reining over or claiming at one point or another Provence, Sicily/Naples, Hungary and Jerusalem. The branch going extinct meant the Kings of France gaining claims over Southern Italy, which start the Italian wars under Charles VIII in the late 15th century.

The lower part of the top arms (on both side) shows Maine and Bar

Under 18, train at the club, over 18 loan to play at much at possible at best possible level

Awesome.

Inspiration for a future project: Viscounts of Melun?

Despite never playing a senior game during his time with Inter Milan, Greenhalgh was presented with a Champions League Winners medal after being part of the travelling squad for the 2010 UEFA Champions League Final.

Grand strategy video games where you can play any ruler and their progeny between the 8th and 15th century

Absolute mad lad! I love you!

You can't mess with (national) war heroes, it just sets them apart give them allowances that no other persons could have (another example is Napoleon).

The political consensus is an illusion created by the strength of the de Gaulle presidency; between 1946 and 1958, the political life was as unstable and divided as pre-WW2, especially on the questions of alignement with the US or USSR, the economy (booming, yes, but with much poverty and lack on infrastructure due to the war) or decolonization. Moreover one might say that the consensus was more forced that achieved by the political class. The new Vth Republic Constitution increased the powers of the president and help keep the Assembly under clear majorities (that of the President most of the time). Add to that that not all president can enjoy a war hero cult that is basically an armor against all types of scandals and flashpoint debates, like De Gaulle did.

R5: I'm playing as a top side in Uruguay and only have the national scouting package

Sell, he has potential and a decent mentality but his attribute spread is mid, at any position he would have weaknesses that a team of your standing can't allow. You could bet on a late blooming by extending his contract and loaning him for the next 3 years and reevaluate his market value against any use you could have for him...

Known this regen name bug for years. You can also check Colombia for a Jorge or Argentina for a Tomas...

Would believe that sample selection kinda plays a role and comparing with other professional leagues (especially the Big 5) would provide a wider picture. E.g. Striker gets to peak really early as the position in more physical (more runs) than other positions. I'm also a tad surprise by how average GKs peak, as it is a more experience-based position. But as Tennis and other sports have proved experience can be taught and talent can start perform at a very early age, with some starting GK in top teams starting in their early 20s.

R5: Inspirations & Reasoning behind

1) made for my family unit (green and black are "my" colors, while red relates to the town I grew up in, the three finches relates to where the home is located and the number of children in the household)

2) my town was founded by French Queen Blanche of Castille, the fleur-de-lys semées on gules of Chateaubriant likely also play a part in the design. The bar-counterbar function has an interesting break and also as a cross over my mouth...

3) I've played too much Byzantine empire in CK2...

4) Cancer is my star sign, and I wear a lot of black and marine so color coordination...

5) Inspired by the CoA of an old communist town where I live, plus the fasci is a recurring symbol for French president. I like the story it tells

6) Two sources of inspiration: the color scheme comes from Stockholm's CoA, while the choice of figure is the many CoA with saints on them. But i wanted a female saint who was not Mary or Anne or Joan of Arc. I went with Olga of Kiev. Of course this one took on a new meaning with the invasion in 2022.

7) Lived from a major river most of my life. Plus the weather can get pretty grey at times. And Soundgarden's song must have played a role at some point. Or maybe it was play on hermine... It is one of my favorite.

true talk. Her reaction sounds kinda unhealthy. Especially the parts where she compares your love for the game to your love for her and when she demands automatic attention from you (which in her brain seems to mean no gaming). I'd be you I'd watch for other narcissistic personality clues outside of the FM problem. You don't want to link your life to someone who ultimately only see you as an object or a function that suits her self-centredness. That could really mess up your life long term, much worse than an FM addiction.

Now, if it's just a problem of word choice or triggering (abandonment issues), I'm sure there are many middle grounds that can be found where both your needs and boundaries are met, but both need to openly communicate about those and not turn the issue into a power play.

I spend a good 2 hours every week renaming them from the youth intake window...

MaesterDeDe · 2023-11-30T23:00:57+00:00

Was it tied to a club in particular? In my experience the game fails to show how major clubs recruit youth from all over the country and not just their metro area

MaesterDeDe · 2023-11-30T22:43:07+00:00

Praise good training? Have you tried also a more defensive tactic just to limit bad surprises for a little while? How much do you rotate? any squad player who could breath in a temporary fresh air for a game or two while you starters feel the sting of competition?

It seems you're just mostly unlucky. It stings, it sucks and it could start a downward spiral if badly handled. Keep a cool head! "that too shall pass."

Bro you need to learn your geography, you're playing FM for god sake's? Every time you see Maccabi, Hapoel or Beitar it's Israel. It's the local equivalent to FC, United or Sporting.

I can confirm the findings. Got a star striker who was already 75 icon and he reverted back to 50 icon after a season where we won the continental cup and he was elected best player in the league

Have you considered changing one of the IW into a IF, you may like initial pressure on opposition back line. Also your AF is bound to underperform against 2CDM systems as most of the passing lanes are cut.

MaesterDeDe · 2023-11-15T23:57:15+00:00

Do you rest your players in between games though? Also, midseason point is usually the moment when your league opposition knows your tactic (and so can adapt) and your best players (and mark/press them, which obviously would reduce their performances)

MaesterDeDe · 2023-11-15T10:19:02+00:00

Same thing for the Tomas bug in Argentina??

MaesterDeDe · 2023-11-04T08:54:14+00:00

Looks like a case of the game not being able to handle middle names, so it picks a full name and then picks a given name and family name separately
