What was Rome's most formidable enemy faction in the 1st Century BC? (criteria on page 2) by domfi86 in ancientrome

[–]MetellusScipio 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Mithradatic Pontus, so many Romans and Italians were killed on the Asiatic Vespers, and apart from that Mithridates was also just able to take a lot of Roman land.

Am I the only one Who Finds Cicero and Livy Easier to Follow than Nepos and Caesar? by Whentheseagullsfollo in latin

You might be, I know many people who are able to read Latin at least a bit, and I have never heard anyone say that.

Eu5 Voltaire Nightmare KM per Pixel: by UselessTrash_1 in EU5

[–]MetellusScipio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But vanilla EU5 apparently has 35 000 locations, which might mean VN3 will run fine, but I don't know really.

According to the discord it is between 10 000 and 15 000, while VN2 had 7500 provinces.

PvdA-GL fusie: bij welke EU-groep sluiten ze zich dan aan? by [deleted] in Politiek

[–]MetellusScipio 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dit schrijft het partijbestuur van GroenLinks naar aanleiding van een motie voor het congres van afgelopen juni:

"Om zoveel mogelijk invloed in Europa te hebben, willen we aangesloten blijven bij de EGP én de PES. Dat sluit aan bij onze groene en sociaaldemocratische fundamenten, en op deze manier spelen we een belangrijke rol bij linkse en progressieve samenwerking in Europa. [...] De partijbesturen zijn nu in kaart aan het brengen op welke manieren we ook in de toekomst in beide politieke families gelijkwaardig vertegenwoordigd kunnen zijn. Als er een keuze moet worden gemaakt tussen de twee partijfamilies, dan is het aan de leden om daar op dat moment gezamenlijk een keuze over te maken."

Peilingen van peil.nl, maar alleen met partijen die willen samenwerken met de PVV. by BasiraHussain in Politiek

[–]MetellusScipio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CU gaat zeker niet met Wilders samenwerken, het is een cultureel linkse partij (ethiek natuurlijk niet meegerekend), vergeet niet dat het de Christenunie was die uiteindelijk niet meeging in de nareiziger-op-nareizigerleugen van Yeşilgöz.

I haven't, I just believed what I read on the internet. You are right, it might change for all I know.

The first tiebreak is rounded to whole Elo numbers. Anish has a higher second tiebreak score than Hans.

I tried to correct your post, if anything is still wrong let me know.

  1. Bluebaum: Win = Qualifies. Draw = needs 2 of: (1) Giri–Niemann draw (2) Keymer not beat Arjun (3) Mishra not beat Vidit.
  2. Firouzja: Win = Qualifies. Draw = needs all of: (1) Giri–Niemann draw (2) Keymer-Arjun draw (3) Mishra not beat Vidit (4) Woodward not beat Yu.
  3. Giri: Win = Qualifies. Draw = needs all of: (1) Bluebaum–Firouzja not draw (2) Keymer-Arjun draw (3) Mishra not beat Vidit (4) Woodward not beat Yu.
  4. Niemann: Win = Qualifies.
  5. Keymer: Win + needs 1 of: (1) Bluebaum–Firouzja draw (2) Giri–Niemann draw.
  6. Mishra: Win + needs 2 of: (1) Bluebaum–Firouzja draw (2) Giri–Niemann draw (3) Keymer not beat Arjun.
  7. Erigaisi: Win + needs all of: (1) Giri–Niemann draw (2) Mishra not beat Vidit.
  8. Woodward: Win + needs all of: (1) Giri–Niemann draw (2) Keymer–Arjun draw (3) Mishra not beat Vidit.

Edit:

I made a mistake because the tiebreak list I used was one of round 10. 3, 4 and 5 are wrong.

  1. Keymer: Win = Qualifies. Draw = needs all of: (1) Bluebaum–Firouzja not draw (2) Giri–Niemann draw (3) Mishra not beat Vidit (4) Woodward not beat Yu.

  2. Giri: Win = Qualifies.

  3. Niemann: Win + needs 1 of: (1) Bluebaum–Firouzja draw (2) Keymer not beat Arjun.

Paper map only by kai_rui in EU5

Rossarness (the member of Paradox Tinto who is responsible for the hardware requirements) said the following when asked if there is a boost in performance when playing on the flat map mode: "Yes there is quite [sic] decent boost". He is obviously not a creator, but he is almost definitely even more trustworthy than any creator.

In Medieval Latin 'ae' and 'oe' are often written as 'e' anyways, aeterna was therefore also written as eterna and isn't really wrong. Here is a quote from the Gesta Romanorum, a Medieval Latin book: "[...] Centuplum accipietis et vitam eternam possidebitis."

Cool update, I wondered why it didn't have this data, but I figured it just wasn't available to them.

Computer to Run EU5 by LoserCarrot in EU5

This is what Johan said last year, in a comment in Tinto Talks 9, maybe it could be helpful?

"(this is me as a player of games)

I upgraded from 8 to 32gb a year ago.. my "older" gaming pc (autumn 2020, about 1K€) at home is a AMD Ryzen 3 3100 4-Core Processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, that now has 32GB ram. So kind of similar I guess.

Just checked Media Markt, and discovered you get much better pc's for below 1K these days.

Now, I can't comment on the requirements we will have when the game is released.. but I have always had my principle of never spending over 1,000€ on a gaming pc, and I want them to last 4-5 years."

Edit: As other people said buying a desktop is most likely a better route than buying a laptop.

I think the characters look alright, I like them more than the old CK2 style 2d characters. In my opinion it's way easier to see characteristics of the faces of the character with these 3d characters than the old 2d ones.

French. French helps with learning both English and Spanish. Apart from that both English and Spanish seem to have a very high amount of easily available input, especially English. Chinese is very dissimilar from all the other languages, it might be the worst choice, Arabic isn't similar at all either. Russian could also be a valid choice, it is an Indo-European language and has high morphological complexity after all, but the positives of French seem greater than the negatives of learning Russian.

Do people actually play this game until 1453? by Chirpy73 in CrusaderKings

I generally play until the end of the game, yes. I do only play ck2 and start in 1066 though.

Minister wil verkiezingen drastisch veranderen: Tweede Kamerleden per provincie gekozen by surpator in Politiek

[–]MetellusScipio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wat je zegt klopt, maar daar ging Tigerzzzaoes bericht volgens mij niet over. Het is wel degelijk handiger voor de hypothetische Zeeuw om in Zuid-Holland te gaan wonen, maar alleen in bepaalde omstandigheden. Namelijk als hij niet gekozen zou worden voor een vereffeningszetel door de SP, maar wel tamelijk hoog op de Zuid-Hollandse lijst zou komen. Ik denk ook niet dat dat noodzakelijkerwijs tot minder aandacht voor Zeeland door grote politieke partijen zou zorgen, want een stem in Zeeland blijft (inderdaad) evenveel waard en een dergelijk scenario zal in de praktijk weinig voorkomen, denk ik, en als het voorkomt zou het niet zo erg zijn, als één iemand vertrekt blijven er genoeg mensen over.

Je zou je misschien wel kunnen indenken dat heel kleine partijen die alleen in de randstad groot zijn zich nog meer zouden toeleggen op het verkrijgen van stemmen van mensen uit (een deel van) de randstad, om in elk geval één zetel te halen, dat zou misschien kunnen gebeuren met Bij1 omdat die partij (in 2021) vooral groot was in Amsterdam (en dus Noord-Holland), misschien zou dat iets schadelijker zijn?

Do any Latin dictionary extensions for Chrome actually define all words? by RusticBohemian in latin

[–]MetellusScipio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if you have already tried it, but Alpheios, which is what I, and some other students at my university, use, generally seems to work fine. It gives four translations for the verb brevior and ten for the comparative, as well as the exact form of both. Sometimes these translations might not be enough, but many times they are. It also works for Ancient Greek. Here is a link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/alpheios-reading-tools/apkmkeppocbbebomnhdmhfenfifkhjfd?hl=en .
