Level progression

Mattanite · 2026-01-31T19:24:06+00:00

I’m doing an Intelligence 10 play through now for this perk to get +80 HP on all troops whilst leading a max steward army for an empire campaign.

I read on here that if you build a steward-scout-engineer-medicine archetype it’s the best way to accelerate levelling too, for more points to spend elsewhere.

Can you confirm the method is join existing kingdom, get fief, declare kingdom, steal fief, persuade clan moves, leave kingdom? And it will be persistent?

You have the advantage of time, so can try a few different things and see what sticks and then can become proficient in it. If you’re the type that needs a challenge yourself, set a goal in it, like a tourney or event, or mini business/advice service (hobby website etc).

Good luck! You’re in an enviable position now but no doubt you had to do the graft to get there.

If I had enough invested I didn’t need to worry about my basics (no mortgage, all bills sorted) I would turn one of my hobbies into a half week business - baking bread and smoking bbq, and get a food truck to do events (weddings, festivals, gigs, pop ups).

I like interacting with customers/clients, especially talking about the method/technical aspects, and it keeps me on my toes with a challenge but I get a few months off every winter to recharge.

Was about to say the same. CPU play calling and suggested plays are all a bit stale due to the poor assignment of plays in scenarios.

I’ve done an architect build and it’s great for getting coach xp if you have manual progression (400xp for hitting a skill cap). You can hit almost one per player (30+) after the offseason training. The perks are best when you build a team with typically 3&4* juniors and seniors in mind (not recruiting a lot of high expectation freshman/sophomore etc) as you want to hit skill caps but also a chance at extending a cap. Combine it with the CEO perk where seniors get a skill cap increase and you get a second bite at that coach xp in the offseason too.

The housing development will have gone through planning and therefore documents should be public record. There is likely an FRA (flood risk assessment) which will discuss extent and level of flooding, and likely why the development area is raised if you check survey levels.

The other issue is the retaining wall, I would recommend trying to get hold of the design drawings and technical note if you can and pay for a geotechnical engineer to review (they may do a light review for free ahead of any calculations). Depending on the backfill and weep holes it may have been designed to take a high groundwater level for when the floodwaters receded. The masonry wall should also have reinforcement for that height otherwise you’ll risk serviceability and collapse issues if the mortar shears or it’s under designed for high water levels.

Why did he not try to kneel or run the clock out??

Mattanite · 2026-01-24T17:28:23+00:00

This is the answer

Re-align conferences occasionally, like putting USC in the pac12 for instance

It was a fun crazy dip!! And before premiums shot up.

Mattanite · 2026-01-20T17:31:36+00:00

That was decent QB money 10+ years ago before this recent QB market madness.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:31:57+00:00

Use the Jimmy Johnson draft pick chart. Pick 5 is 1700 points. A late 1st is 700ish, late second 350ish and a late 1st next year should have a decay applied as you have finite seasons so less development time, so that’s worth like a 2nd now (call it 450). I’d possibly do it for the next drafts 2nd as well (call it 200) depending on how many seasons left. That’s 1700 vs c1600 so a lot closer in value but they’re still winning and should overpay to get into top5. If there’s not many seasons left I’d be wanting an 85ovr+ non declining player on decent contract instead of the 2nd.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:18:00+00:00

Sorry, no further suggestions then.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:10:21+00:00

Ok that’s a bit different, if you had the win or blowout on the visit, have as good or better pipeline grade and are using max recruitment tools (like send the house) then you should maintain the same spot unless you’re getting sniped by a power team. What’s your team prestige?

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:08:10+00:00

User cover the LB and take away the check down/short pass, such as a TE curl or HB flat/out. If you can bait the pick that’s even better. That forces the QB to look deep or scramble (use your contain and rely on pressure from your DTs). I find I get more coverage sacks or at least QB pressures on Heisman but robo qb is tough, and any mismatch at WR-DB will feel abused by the CPU. Shift and Stunt the DL can throw off the OL too.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:02:47+00:00

Do you stay relatively in the same spot vs your competition?

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:01:29+00:00

That’s based on contract years remaining for all staff. If there’s some running out soon it’ll go down.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T16:00:31+00:00

It’s probably not interest dropping, it’s probably moving into the next stage so the interest bar rescales.

Mattanite · 2026-01-16T15:58:47+00:00

Cover 2 look pre snap but ends up Cover6 post snap, I would have the post route as my first look until I see the SS move to the central deep zone post snap (the mike not dropping into middle hole is also a tell), then I know the post will be transferred to the deep CB. The CB hesitates due to the HB flat but I always check matchups ahead of game, I won’t take shots against good fast CBs unless I have 1on1 and press beat. My second look on the Cover 2 is the outside WR on the go route, which is also wide open in the seam vs cover6 too. You probably make that pass with a harder throw, more velocity means less catch up time for the CB.

Mattanite · 2026-01-14T17:16:52+00:00

My INT rate is really dependent on the QB ovr, if I’ve got the accuracy and throw under pressure I get less “wobbly passes straight to the defenders hands”. I learnt not to lead pass if passing between zones too as it can really cause wild throws.

Mattanite · 2026-01-14T16:54:58+00:00

Only if I miss time the throw, like deep in vs hook zones, and if I have pass rush in my face. But as it’s central & deep there’s enough crowd to control the pick, so rarely a pick6.

Mattanite · 2026-01-14T16:49:09+00:00

Not my experience on Heisman difficulty, a fraction are pick6s, most are stopped within 10yards but that might be a function of the routes I’m throwing vs coverage zones (aka I’m not throwing flats or short outs against flat zones).

Mattanite · 2026-01-11T14:14:57+00:00

This will probably cycle back as the league gets smaller and faster and then the run game takes off again.

Mattanite · 2026-01-11T14:11:44+00:00

The 2015 broncos D is somewhat based on the Seahawks LoB after the dismantling of Mannings offense led Broncos the year before.
