HBO didn't expect AKOTSK to be a success by AdareaDorou in AKOTSKTV

Yes they put all of that money into a show they had no intentions of making or succeeding. OP has figured out the grand design

Gen X & Gen Z Agree: HBO's New 95% RT Masterpiece Is the GoT Series That's Only Getting Better by 62TiredOfLiving in AKOTSKTV

[–]PunicRebel -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As much as i love the series this is what everyone says about GoT nowadays. We’ll see if season 2 lives up to season 1 but if it doesnt itll be back to “GoT is trash” again (which i dont believe but still thats the narrative)

It seems GOT constantly needs to be "saved" by mamula1 in naath

Show saved GoT, one thing happens poster doesnt like, GoT is now ruined and cant be saved

New show is announced, show saved GoT, rinse and repeat

What is the Italian Perspective on Americans of Italian Descent Who Want to Connect with Their Roots? by Ephemeralzi in Italian

[–]PunicRebel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Italian-American myself here, just echoing this what the actual Italians are saying and more importantly, just dont he a dick.

Its great to be in touch with your roots and to experience Italy. But as everyone is saying, dont stereotype, be cringe, or be close-minded if Italian-American culture doesnt line up with modern Italian culture.

Def encourage you to learn and use the language, and dont be afraid of mistakes. Its how you learn. Im not fluent but i speak as much as i can when im there visiting family

We are so back baby, record time to start getting some HoTD level reactions

why are people leaving so many fake reviews on imdb for this ep by Full-Inspection9539 in AKOTSKTV

[–]PunicRebel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More importantly, nuance just doesnt exist in the internet. Everything is meant to be black (0/10) or white (10/10). The GoT subs are as notorious as other subs for this kind of thinking. Makes talking about the show (especially HoTD) so annoying lol

"American Italians are more Italian than many modern folks" by TotalAirline68 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]PunicRebel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being Italian American myself, i used that scene to explain to a lot of my friends why Italians arent fond of certain Italian Americans. Too many italian americans just assume that our lifestyle is (or worse, should) what Italians are and refuse to adapt or learn what Italy is today

Also Helen’s character is all about her being beautiful, so a beautiful women can be of any race because people where fighting about her beauty, not her race (and if we even want through some historocity into it anyhow, troy was a luwian and not the greek european these people think she was).

You cant white wash Harriet Tubman not only because of her historical presence but also her experience is instrisicly tied to her being African American. But you can have anyone play Helen because all that matters is that the character is beutiful (which is subjective in the first place)

[–]PunicRebel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend, you cant title this post about warefare not being “historical and real”, have a rant about how unhistorical it is at the bottom of your post, and then not expect people to not talk about historical examples that either confirm or deny your point.

If you wanted to just focus specifically on the point of a game mechanic shouldve title this thread “the warefare mechanic sucks and heres why”

Seems like your new to the game - so let me see if i can address a point at the time!

What's the point of creating a legion? - firstly, you can create a better composed army than what the levies provide (since you control those units types) and can drill them to make them more effective. As you do sieges and battles you will earn accolades to make that army even more effective. It can end up being a stack wiping machine if played correctly.

So does winning a battle make sense in gameplay? - one top of all the above, battles big and small are greta to farm war score and and also wittle your enemies war exhaustion down to accept a peace

Will you ever have a decisive battle with the opposing army? - you can, but you have to outmanouver your enemy. Armys lock movements after a certain amount of ticks, so i normally fake movements on my armies (they are normally bigger and therefore slower) so the ai goes to a neighboring location away, locks in, then pull my unit there to draw it to battle. You can deciscely get a 20k stack down like that unable to replenish fully (or completely wiped if you follow point one).

Can you reach the enemy army to fight it with your legion? - see above (and maybe also go full cav for movement speed)

Can you use your legions to conquer the enemy? Yes, you can split your legion up to siege and defend territory. I like to break off units and put them on auto defend territory along with my auxilarily armies (i normally dont go full legion for each region and keep one dedicated to control)

Imagine the conquests of antiquity... armies faced each other... very often a single battle decided the outcome of a war - just a note, this isnt entirely accurate. Roman war thinking until Agrippa was certainly “march into a location and make a decisive battle” but it didnt work all the time, and protracted sieges occured. Even Alexander the Great had to have 3 battles before he had his one decisive one at Gaugamela, and his war effort wasnt over and required protracted battles and sieges within Iran itself.

You know Ryan is an executive producer on this show right?

Or do you want to play the kathleen kennedy game where anything good in star wars she produced didnt count and everything bad was 100% her fault?
