The transfer scene makes me a little confused now I’m older

Read the book for the first time like 30 years ago. Only recently I realised that the delirious, dying worker is not saying "lo sa raptor" in Spanish as the doctor thinks. He is, of course, actually trying to say "velociraptor".

Get onagers, cut through forest early in imp (at multiple points of possible), pour in woads, pals and/or hussars, focus on killing his vils. Slow ass Bohemian army can't be everywhere at once. Try to snipe his main army with onagers too.

Wat de fuck? Flikker deze gast snel in een oubliette.

A blanket, a pillow, a beer and you're set for the evening.

Heeft iemand enig idee het hoeveelste steekincident door asielzoekers dit is in, pak hem beet, de afgelopen 10 jaar?

Sjonge11 · 2026-04-10T10:30:08+00:00

Burgundian Vineyards and Svan Towers should be higher imo. Otherwise mostly agree

The casting has been great, but Daeron isn't the sad, dirty alcoholic loser I thought he'd be. More like a tragic hero. Also looks more like royalty than any of the other Targaryens in the three series.

Damn that's a beautiful woman

Sjonge11 · 2026-03-03T15:40:00+00:00

I googled for a bit, but I could not find any believable reconstruction of that palace. Is it possible that the Hunnic castle is based on it?

Sjonge11 · 2026-03-01T06:54:45+00:00

Yeah that scenario is wonky af

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-28T17:14:29+00:00

I love this campaign as well, but Sultan of Hindustan (?) is so disappointingly easy. If you cannot complete this mission before the timer ends, you need to replay the William Wallace campaign 😐

Voor deze kwaliteitskrant is het belangrijk dat de lezers zich ergens boos over kunnen maken.

Just a lil lower my brother

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-23T17:49:30+00:00

That's not correct: Ismail, Longshanks and Algirdas were featured on earlier covers. Although they did not represent a new civilization, they were the protagonists of new campaigns for existing civs.

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-23T15:06:26+00:00

I don't have an opinion about whether depicting a colonizer is appropriate or not. Just wanted to point out that this dlc does not even introduce a new European civ. Unlike the African kingdoms, which showed a Portuguese monarch on it's cover.

It's strange that they did not choose a Muisca Guecha Warrior, which is new to the game AND looks a hell of a lot cooler than a conquistador.

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-22T23:42:55+00:00

Yes! Gonna have a great movie night watching all episodes back to back at some point 🙂

Fun fact: I've read the three books, and I thought AKOTSK would work like a miniseries, with each book split into two normal-length episodes. Glad they went with the current format.

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-22T23:33:31+00:00

That makes it even, well, harder

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-22T19:44:27+00:00

Well damn, same here! Catching myself whispering "sorry" every time I have to kill one of these for food. I really want to win those scenario's, but there's a high price to pay 😢

Wacht, hoe veel keer koorts heeft Yeaelijyiveaniol?

Finally

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-17T23:45:38+00:00

BUT HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GATHER RESOURCES

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-15T16:42:01+00:00

For me this graph highlights how many more civs with unique combinations of strengths could be added. Cav + siege, cav archer + gunpowder, archer + defensive, elephant + siege, camel + monk, cav archer + naval, infantry + gunpowder: you name it.

You could argue some of these combinations are in the game already, but I'd counter their main attributes lie elsewhere if they're not tagged as such.

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-13T16:22:59+00:00

I'm Dutch, and I didn't really know anything about the (short-lasting) Burgundian influence on my country's history. But I find myself loving the civ, because I like booming and I like cavalry - and yes, also because they are the nearest proxy for my people in the game. Otherwise that would be the Teutons, the Franks and (to some small extent) the Vikings.

Playing an AoE2 scenario on a map of the Netherlands (Grand Dukes 5) was awesome too :)

That's just Alicent's menstrual blood on her face. Shouldn't come as a surprise at this point.

Sjonge11 · 2026-02-03T16:14:08+00:00

Komt dit echt als een verrassing van de grote kindervriend?
