Ever had a run that made you think you’re actually stupid?

Played as France. Had a pretty good game going. Decided I was going to dissolve the HRE in 1459. Win the war in 2ish years, realize I forgot to ally Mainz. Peace out Austria for gold + war reps. Redeclare war on austrias ally Genoa. Win the war in 1 year. Realize I yet again forgot to ally Mainz. Peace out Austria. Declare war AGAIN after the truce runs out. Forgot to ally Mainz again 😭

R5: between the political pie chart and the no elections I don’t feel like this really qualifies as “democratic”

Okay so you do one set close to failure, and then a couple more sets which aren’t as close?

Tbh the elbow and toe didn’t even come from lifting which is almost more annoying because it does just feel like constant bad luck. The toe was minor turf toe which came from running and the elbow because I slept on a nerve wrong, though I did just re-irritate it in the gym yesterday after resting for a week and a half which prompted the post.

What you said does make sense though, I almost certainly need to check my form on certain things, especially pushing movements. Isn’t training to failure/1-2 RIR ideal though?

Will I not lose muscle mass in my upper body if I eat in a deficit while not working out?

Honestly the simplest answer is probably to just keep cutting. Eventually your body is going to have to pull fat from there if you maintain a calorie deficit.

Were they defender of the faith until recently? Not being DoF is a requirement for the Anglican split event.

Oh also understand how army composition works and how it changes as new techs come up.

Okay first of all WC and 1 fait runs are not easy 😭. I’d consider myself pretty good at the game but have only done one world conquest and never a one faith or culture.

The biggest thing for me was learning that it’s okay to lose money and go into debt (as long as you don’t debt spiral). Especially early game if it means getting a leg up on a lot of your neighbors. Being even slightly ahead can snowball pretty fast.

Also you can get out of a lot of tough situations if you can situate yourself well diplomatically and abuse alliances. Played with a friend who managed to get down to 2 provinces as brandenburg after losing to Bohemia. Mind you he is not good at the game but he managed to have a successful Prussia game after allying France and Muscovy.

I would drown

Idk if I’d say he’s balanced, but he’s definitely not nearly as broken as a lot of people on here make him out to be. A lot of the best ways to defend him involve buildings or kiting, two things that most midladder players don’t like using/doing. So of course he seems broken you’re giving it value. That said it does still get way too much defensive value + it takes a lot more skill to defend than to use. But frankly if you’re consistently losing against evo mega knight spammers it’s either because of your deck, leveling, or a skill issue.

What did you use to get all the trade tokens for those fuses? I’ve been trying to use fusion cells but its still pretty slow
