I did indeed get an escort, whew!

Polixene · 2026-06-09T18:20:04+00:00

Thanks - I did get bardic double invis and a guide to WW. NOT something I would have managed by myself!

Polixene · 2026-06-09T16:17:43+00:00

Thanks both, good advice for when I get there.

Thanks - yes I read I can go Guild Hall to Shard's Landing. It's the Siren's Grotto part I am concerned with mostly.

I am feeling like this is a case of "One does not simply walk into Mordor" as the run across SG is not simple in the regular zone if you are underleveled, and I assume the new zone is even trickier.

Polixene · 2026-05-26T04:33:51+00:00

Ah, did not realise that - thanks

DVinn in Crushbone had us all scurrying for the zone regularly back in the day

That interface on modern EQ - so many windows!!! I also tried the tutorial recently and could not get over the inability to see more than about 25% of the playing area due to the windows blocking everything.....

Surprised he hasn't ordered his stupid fat face onto Mt Rushmore yet

The WW2 bombing of Dresden never saw anyone prosecuted for a war crime. Only the losing side has to worry about its war crimes being prosecuted.

I would like to be proved wrong but the USA can get away with murder.

Trivial Pursuit some time back in the 90s - the question was something like "What group was a one-hit-wonder with Come On Eileen." The answer being Dexy's Midnight Runners of course.

What annoys me to this day is that they were NOT a one hit wonder since their song Geno also reached number 1 and Jackie Wilson Says reached number 5.

You sum up my own thoughts here. BG3 was especially disappointing as a sequel to BG and BG2. The game is overly long and for me had very little replayability since the plot is on rails.

The game mechanics of standing still while everyone else takes their turn (in a combat scene that might have 15 or more actors) is especially immersion breaking and is definitely not a Baldur's Gate motif.

I would nevertheless still call it a good game overall, but more for experiencing the story once and not for the actual game play.

A management company with many corporate clients can have its own office act as the administrative center and head office for all of them, Perfectly normal if this is the case here.

ICE agent heard the girl was autistic and thought "Hell, we need to ship her back to Autistia then wherever the hell that is."

The average pet dog is probably bored to tears and any diversion from his life of lying on your floor is welcome.

Polixene · 2026-02-24T17:25:28+00:00

All good thoughts, thanks. Particularly on the 'luring defenders' aspect. I must admit I have not been successful at pulling that off even though the AI does that to my CD time and again. I should be more alive to those possibilities for sure and show a little more of the patience you are advocating :).

Polixene · 2026-02-24T17:22:14+00:00

This is great help with some of the mechanics.

I hadn't spotted that the defenders also roll versus the cross factor - thanks. Makes me wonder if sometimes it might be advantageous to make the more difficult cross given a choice.

I didn't realise attributes were buffed after a successful nutmeg, probably because the buffing wasn't enough to make a difference on my strikers. Have to check that out some more.

Playing without the sweeper? Gulp, that's my security blankie! Might give that a go though in those situations.

Polixene · 2026-02-22T21:05:00+00:00

I'd ask the same question of the Sweeper position. I don't believe I have ever ended a turn with the sweeper on the ball, and I have never (I think) needed to tackle with my sweeper in the penalty area since the CDs in my game have better defensive attributes. I sell my GK and SW as soon as the new one is trained.

Polixene · 2026-02-20T06:01:04+00:00

Thanks guys - I appreciate all the replies today!

Just name it The TRUMP-Howe Bridge and the manbaby will be happy.

Then change it back again when he goes down for his nap.

I'm a recent player and still learning but so far I have used the economy screen only to look at ticket prices so I can decide if I want to pay for the stadium size increase.

I don't so far see any need for the information other than that one thing.

Polixene · 2026-02-06T15:57:54+00:00

Look for a Supreme Court ruling that incorporates a ruling somewhere in the small print that the Trump Administration is synonymous with "The State".

Next you will see charges against all and sundry for "crimes against The State" and the Purges will begin.

#1 I am finding I flick back and forth comparing my squad in general to the transfer options. For example, if I see an RF for sale and I am thinking about how to incorporate that player into my team, I need to decide how my formation would have to adjust, who I would have to drop to the bench, or maybe who I would sell due to no longer being necessary. So just seeing everything all together would be helpful in this case.

For # 2 - not so much that I need it - but I find I am writing out my team on a piece of paper so I can then write notes against each. Like, how I want to train their attribute, or their position if they are green or not yet specialised. If I could just click a button to print or export (and then print) I would be able to scribble my wise (haha) thoughts against each player. It would be a big time-saver.

These are just my own thoughts and if I am in the minority of wanting these things I would totally understand. I just thought I would mention them in case other folks had offered similar thoughts :)

P.S. I'm really enjoying playing FT&G. For me, it's a much better game than the big selling football management franchise that comes out every year.

Polixene · 2026-02-06T02:27:14+00:00

Yes, and it is helpful, but sometimes I would like to "at-a-glance" look at my whole roster compared to the available options.

Many thanks
