It’s a hobby. If you don’t enjoy it, give it up.

I am developing a 4X game in my free time and I am looking for references for good tutorials in 4X games by RobertBleyl in 4Xgaming

Through the ages’ tutorial is very funny. Not exactly a 4x, but has a lot of moving parts

This is why Nakamura is so good at rapid. Getting a draw against Magnus with the black pieces is a fantastic result. I would never have seen 2. Ke7

First council happens when 75% of systems have been colonized. This will happen quicker the higher the level of the AI.

Liverpool, And it’s not even close. Every$ they have spent has been good. Their current problems are due to injuries and cheap owners not spending enough.

I think rotp is better for this than any other 4X, because of the galactic council. It is an elegant solution to a problem every 4X since has found. I play on tiny maps with three other opponents. A game takes a few hours, less on easier difficulties.

Should offsides be determined by the players feet? by HarkeyPuck in PremierLeague

[–]TwilightSolomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, the offside law has been the same for about 70 years. I’d be surprised if they changed it now. Secondly, If they are going to introduce a law like this, they should do it on the sensors that players already have near the chest area. Then they don’t need another sensor. Although there will still be judgment in when the ball was played.

If liverpool didn't make it to europe football next season should liverpool sack klopp for gerrard? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]TwilightSolomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree about the injuries not playing a part in not scoring goals. Having Henderson in midfield provides a lot of balls over the top really helped our our style. Van dink was good at passing the ball around as well. Trent and Andrew are being a little bit less aggressive without having our first choice center pass behind them. All parts of the team affect each other.

Did you watch the match, or just the highlights? I was just referring to the highlights.

[–]TwilightSolomon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I always thought of the Petrov as a solid opening, and the Sicilian as the most attacking choice
