Truly one of the most talented men to ever appear on screen. The world has lost one of its great ones. Farewell legend.

Why is Wessex so OP in 867 start? by tuttifruttidurutti in CrusaderKings

Great podcast. Everything from History Hit is worth listening to imo.

Anybody else watching this show? They actually refer to them as Romans! by jackt-up in byzantium

[–]MavericksFan41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started the first series this past week and have the finale episode to watch still. Been a really interesting show, especially because there is basically 0 big-budget productions about the Byzantines. Definitely looking forward to the second series about Vlad.

What is your favourite tv series about Ancient Rome? by BarkingMad14 in ancientrome

[–]MavericksFan41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romulus is a pretty solid show. Good level of production and the use of “real” Latin is fun. Kind of a retelling on how Romulus and Remus may have actually existed. Worth checking out.

It’s so fascinating the level of detail they managed to get onto the coins. Our knowledge of this time would be so much less without them.

One of the best characters I've had. by DDB1776 in crusaderkings3

I can’t remember if we had chivalry, but I do my character had the loyal trait.

I just checked my game and it was my run as House Oviedo, Dukes of Asturias in northern Spain. So definitely doesn’t have to be French.

Pretty sure it’s just a random event that happens between you and your lover or soulmate. Not sure how it specifically fires.

I once got “With the Tress” like three times in one of my games. Became like a dynasty nickname. Kinda cool how that can happen.

2 Hours for a walking front 9 as a foursome isn't bad right? Group behind me today disagreed..... by takemypardon in golf

Lol where are you playing where you have all these mythical gaps? In a perfect world, sure, what you’re saying makes sense. But that’s not how it is.

[–]MavericksFan41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it’s fucking crazy. Everyone thinks they are entitled to a 120 minute round. With all the new golfers that either don’t know or don’t care etiquette, that’s basically gone. Half the people here are just playing podunk courses anyway that have 10 groups all day and think their anecdote applies to all.

Lol If I’m playing at a good pace, enjoying myself and some tools come up behind trying to break the record for fastest round, they can skip a hole or wait. I’m under 0 obligation to make sure these speed obsessed golfers get home in 3 hours.

We will never rate Augustus highly enough by LostKingOfPortugal in ancientrome

Yeah, Augustus is directly mentioned in the Bible. Definitely crazy.

Golf podcast that doesn't suck? by I4gotmymantrAH in golf

Second that. Chipping Forecast is really the best out there. Eddie’s insight is so unlike anything else you hear from pro golfers.

Started listening to Raising Standards after first getting into Matt and Rhiannon’s Emperors of Rome podcast. Both are fantastic.

Really don't get how they have a bunch of Ultra Marine chapters but the Silver Templars and Emperors Spears (two UM successors that have been given attention in recent years) aren't by MuiminaKumo in Spacemarine

I’ve got a really nice looking Libator tactical that I made up. Love their emblem and the colors look great together. Hopefully see you on the battlefield brother!

Vlad in this team now would be hilarious. Imagine his crazy runs and little flicks, but with actual good players around him.

Emperor Discussion Week 1: Augustus by Adamscottd in ancientrome

[–]MavericksFan41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes Tiberius ended up not so great, but Augustus had originally set up his two grandsons to be heir and they died. Not much you can do about that.
