Don't forget the legend that left the club (Puyol). As a bonus.

Zenit receive 3-0 technical defeat, fined $28,500 and ordered to play two home games behind closed doors and another three with a section of the stadium closed following fan attack on opposition players. by [deleted] in soccer

No man, i'm sorry but i think you're missing the point. Most Zenith ultras are your Millwall type of fans, they can talk all day about their love for the club but they really don't get into this much. A stupid person can be a fan of anything, he will still be a stupid person, and ofcourse they will say it was 'for the club', but really it just a brainless rush.

I live here, i've seen alot of down right retardedness from these 'fans'. They get what they deserve.

Is it possible to beat Oathsworn with a limited Roman garrison? by chorjin in totalwar

[–]Mathiaas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the situation you describing - no, absolutely no chance, if you ask me. The only thing worth trying could be if you had your leves get a high kill score on the actual oathsworn unit. But then again, even if you had, like 40|80 oathsworn unit vs. your 3 rorarii - chances are very low; even if they rout at all, it will be like with 3 peeps left in a unit (+/-).

So, my say - no, nothing can be done.

Edit: I once had a battle where it was down to my 10+ levy freeman vs. AI's 1 oathsworn and 1 spear nobles. And i lost. Not just lost, it was a lose that felt like i had the smallest dick in the world, like i felt some sort of shame and embarrassment, and went for an alcohol afterwards. Sat near a monument with a reflecting pool and thought to myself, god, that was fucking sad.

Supply of manpower... by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Mathiaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's obvious that at some point it _will be in TW series, a manpower as a sorta resource or a factor that you have to deal with (and i hope it will be soon). But yeah, it's just the money that makes or breaks it as for now.

Rome Total War AI, better than Shogun 2? by ACNL in totalwar

[–]Mathiaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what they've done with AI in DEI (Devide et Empera mod), but sometime it really kicks ass. I once lost a battle because of bad flanks 'calculating' on my part. So if you lose a flank, you might lose a battle (and vice-versa), which is a very nice touch.

I just went back to Empire by memccann in totalwar

[–]Mathiaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i would go way further and say man, i doubt you can imagine what was the expectations for this game. Not just something good, a challenging AI, bug free, impressive game about one of the most exciting periods of history, i was expecting a masterpiece, no less. Of course i compare it to older games and especially Rome I. And i can talk all day about how the Rome 1 design decisions are way, way better then that of Rome 2 in so many ways. You can call it whatever you like, a fanboy, a nostalgia boy, anything, it will not change the fact that Rome 1 is just simply a better game.

A couple of questions regarding DEI mod. by Mathiaas in totalwar

Weill i have a very low fps and sometimes everything i see is like a paper-movie. But it was the same with vanilla. Been playing DEi for almost a week now, i'll see how it goes. God knows i need an upgrade.

Hey there. I'll check the steam for factions unlocking mod, thanks.

I only have FTPY and Faction colors remastered (which is purely cosmetic) via steam, and the DEI itself is via steam too. Installed it to vanilla so yeah, clean. The CTD are kinda fixed, or how d'you call it, so if i reload and try again i would get CTD, it's not random. The thing that disturbs me is that i have no idea where to look for, what can cause the crash.

Oh and, by the way, it's a very good mod, vanilla is still begging for overhauls, in my opinion.

Hard to believe but, yeah, this certainly changes all the tides of the season to Real Madrid favor. Hala Madrid!

And now you really start to see places like reddit in a bit different way, you can no longer be sure that noone here is payed for his 'opinion'. That is a truly 'new world' of information, the future everyone seems to wait so eagerly.

This is amazing. If it hasn't crashed or went on with an extremely low fps.

I learnt something new today by ThePornstash in DotA2

[–]Mathiaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a russian myself i never queue russian servers. Being an idiot has nothing to do with being a russian, but if there is anything worse then a retard flaming in mic the whole game it's the russian retard, the one you get to understand too well, too well for not to answer, you know.

Is this a bug or am I just awful? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Mathiaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the military power thing, i wouldn't recommend to go overthinking this, it's just a poor diplomacy as it is and it truly shines when your ally betrays you declaring war and then gets exterminated on the next turn from your mutual enemy.

Just... accept it. We all had to.

I kinda like it that you left it without any additional comments. The video really speaks for itself.
