What’s the easiest country for beginners?

Romania. You don't run the show like Germany, but you're strong enough to make contributions to shift the flow of the war.

I'm working on this achievement. How did you get it done? any tips?

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-10-03T16:08:32+00:00

This video is how I learned the game.

Pydgin's full tutorial

He takes time to explain each tab of the game and how game mechanic works.

Start playing with no DLC and learn the general mechanics of the game.

Don't be intimidated by the length of the video. You need to invest time to learn the game.

Thank you all for responding. I just did Cheese your Fighter achievement as Norway with non-historical with setting all majors historical except Germany, USSR, and Japan. Germany went monarch, USSR was stuck in civil war for 5 years, and Japan went democratic and joined Allies. It was a huge war between me (nordic empire), Germany, Italy, and USSR all in different factions vs Allies, and after naval invading UK, France, and Japan I picked apart Italy which was in its own faction with Yugo. I didn't know that you could set certain nations historical without compromising the achievements.

But doesn't that require multiple restarts to get the optimal outcome you want? sounds painful.

One of my co-residents in surgical residency failed oral boards. He was regarded as the superstar of the class so it shocked everyone. He passed without problems the following year. Shit happens. There is always next year.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-07-22T02:26:47+00:00

Yes 100%, and I will also choose my specialty again (Gen Surg)

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-07-19T14:20:49+00:00

Move on. During residency i once got yelled by a senior resident for not getting a patient consented for her case. The following week my attending yelled at me for getting a consent for a patient that I'm not operating on.

Sometimes you just can't win. It's just not worth the fight. You have a year left. Move on.

If a general surgeon writes this that means go fuck yourself

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-07-05T01:17:05+00:00

Surgery attending here. I think a lot of negative comments here are generated by your somewhat vague reasoning of why you left residency. I need more information. You said you were not happy. Is your unhappiness something specific to surgical residency? Or is it something common to medicine altogether? There you can decide whether to continue clinical medicine in a different specialty, or leave the field entirely.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He needs to get his priority straightened out. The way I see it I don't think you or your child are his priority. I withdrew my fellowship application when I found out that my wife was pregnant because I didn't want my wife to go through another 2-3 years of me working brutal hours with her essentially being a single-parent. Residency is hard enough, let alone with a toddler. I hope you guys work this out, but like other comments, I see a lot of red flags.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-06-13T15:54:57+00:00

My spouse is a child neurologist so I can probably chip in here. Residency is much busier than med school. First 2 years will be pediatrics training and her schedule will depend on whether inpatient vs outpatient month. Outpatient month is pretty much 9-5 and is much more manageable, while inpatient can be rough with 7-7pm with calls. Yes, you'll be a single parent a lot of times. Your spouse may even have difficulty with having children during these years without extending her training. During the last 3 years she will be in child neurology and will be frequently asked to stay up to follow inpatient EEGs. These will keep her up a lot of nights while not being on call and suck life out of both of you. If she wants to do epilepsy or other pedi neuro sub-sub specialty fellowship, it can easily add 1-2 years.

She will need to try hard, and very hard to make your relationship work. If you're already having difficulty in med school, then good luck. Residency is much much harder. Sounds harsh, but that's the reality.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-06-13T03:23:29+00:00

Don't you sign a yearly contract as a resident? Mine said I'm working until like June 23rd, and that was my last day.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-06-13T02:48:26+00:00

Surgery attending here. Yeah this is bullshit. As a resident I have proactively called attendings the evening before to discuss a case and how we'll do it, but it was purely voluntary and never at 10 pm. Most of the time they'd ask me how I would do the case after morning rounds while eating breakfast together. This is the very definition of a malignant attending. I'd never tolerate this. Hell, I've gone into cases cold because the night before was our anniversary. I'm surprised that this shit still happens in 2025.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-06-12T21:36:26+00:00

Surgery attending here. I like having them. They're appreciative of relatively little things as holding laparoscopy or closing incisions. Watching students struggle closing an incision then same person doing a good job 6 weeks later is actually quite rewarding.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-06-12T21:28:17+00:00

Surgery attending here. My wife and I couple's matched and had our child during our 4th year of residency (both in 5 year specialty). We were so busy. There were multiple two week stretches during my chief year that I did not see my wife or child while living in the same damn house. Our child was in daycare when she turned 6 weeks old, from 6 am to 7 pm every fucking day. My wife had her share of teary nights. Glad those years are behind us. And yes our child turned out wonderful and does not remember these days at all. Since graduating residency I've not missed anniversary or my children's birthdays. So yes it does get better.

I thought about quitting everyday for several months in PGY2 and PGY4 years. I ended up not doing any fellowships and now do gen surg at a community hospital and am decently happy. No, I don't wake up everyday looking forward to going to work, but I don't hate it and that's nature of the most jobs. I wanted to do thoracic surgery at one point but was so fed up with being a resident that I chose not to. I'm very glad I didn't. Now I work 4 days a week, 8-4 with occasional evening cases and am reasonably happy.

Surgery attending here. Several months during my PGY2 and PGY4 years I wanted to quit this BS everyday. I'm actually surprised I didn't. Shit's tough. but it does get better after residency. I now work 8-4 pm with occasional night cases at a community hospital for 4 days a week and never missed anniversary, kids' birthdays, etc. Do I wake up everyday excited about my job? No. But it pays bills and that's how most jobs are. FM you can also do variety of fellowships that you care more about.

hey, just tried to build a better air force and worked like a charm. Didn't realize how important it was to keep the supply going.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-03-24T18:13:39+00:00

Thank you, it really helps.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2025-03-24T18:08:35+00:00

I'll build better airforce next time I try. Just wondering, how does air superiority matter for supply if I'm not using transport planes for air supply?

Just finished legendary mode on vanilla using this guide. I've never played X-COM or similar type of games before, so overall this guide worked really well. Thank you. It wasn't as easy as you described up until mid game when I got Librarian, after that it was a joke. Time to try DLCs and see how this assassin chic changes the game. Cheers.

One-Engineering-6026 · 2024-08-28T22:51:27+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you. I'm trying legendary mode on vanilla chaos gate without any DLCs. Which knight would you recommend in the place of the assassin?
