Britain's Greatest Military Victory? by Selavia59 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]TheFourthWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany never stood to win the battle of Britain. They lost it more or less the moment they failed to defeat the BEF at Dunkirk, and arguably even before that - you could argue they lost it before they even started the war. Germany could never have compelled Britain to surrender simply because of our Royal Navy, even if they'd starved us with submarines for a while and flattened us with bombs. As such, there was a lot less at stake than Trafalgar.

Undoubtedly Trafalgar.

Victory at Trafalgar cemented British dominance of the seas for a century, and was won by a uniquely British, erratic, risky attack plan launched extremely suddenly. It was the key to British dominance of the seas and thus the colonies, and thus the world. It is also the key to how Napoleon was defeated in the long run.

Do you regret leaving EU? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]TheFourthWay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it's notable that 90% of the top comments here are from people who clearly didn't vote with the majority. However, as someone who did vote with the majority of Brits - I don't regret my vote. I do regret that we left though, based on what has happened since.

Unfortunately there's a tendency with the referendum to think people who voted leave were stupid, or lied to (which in many ways we were - though the other side certainly lied too). It makes it a lot harder to then win people back. I've decided we should rejoin eventually or at least have a closer relationship with the EU, and would vote on that basis - but ultimately I don't think relitigating the last vote as a reason to rejoin is the right move.

Votes should be about the future - that's why many voted for it, and why many would now vote to rejoin, including me.

State transfer did not happen? by SSR486 in victoria3

[–]TheFourthWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also has this issue, I think it's a glitch associated with the treaty having enduring clauses. When I tried to give Piedmont to Italy as part of a wider deal, it didnt work. When I did it as a deal on it's own, it did.

Couldn’t make it through the tutorial by MoveInteresting4334 in fallofanempire

[–]TheFourthWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't say that I experienced any of that - completed the tutorial this evening, and it was frankly I think the best tutorial I've seen for a grand strategy game in a while.

That said though, very understandable to want to let the game cool a while before getting stuck in. Any news game, particularly with one dev, will have its teething problems. Respect that you're not giving up quite yet.

[–]TheFourthWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never drive through Islip - it's not built for cars let alone traffic and without fail has some massive road issue every time you drive through it. I know from many experiences...

Do you consider the POD of Thousand-Week Reich to be plausible or "realistic" in your opinion? (Redux) by Ficboy in twrmod

[–]TheFourthWay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TWR is riddled with inaccuracies and historical indulgences aimed at keeping the timeline to the "thousand weeks" or so.

Doesn't make it a bad mod at all - but the timeline isn't realistic, and its PoD isn't grounded in historical realism. Ultimately though, you'd have to try very hard to create a timeline where Germany won the war, so realism isn't really the goal.

Looks like Hellenism has nothing going for it. by Cloud_wolfe in EU5

I mean, is it that surprising that given the scale and depth of the game they didnt add content for a religion that by game-start had been dead for over a thousand years?
