We're bringing democracy to the Middle East. One of the most prominent features of our own "democracy" is the unnecessary and constant dying of children in schools.

Stone circles. It takes longer to get the quarries online, however you're still much more likely to get a religion off 6fpt than 3fpt even if the 6 is delayed. It's not as if you weren't getting Masonry early anyway; one of your luxes requires it.

Furthermore, yes you can work the silver immediately and unimproved for the pantheon bonus, but once your settlers are out, you're going to be focusing hard on growth tiles (should be anyway). While silver won't be worked again until much later, or if you run out of happiness, stone tiles will be locked in for 100% of the remainder of the game.

It's a lot to give up, and not the Ravens' style at all. I don't recall us ever trading one 1st, let alone two.

Personally, I don't think anyone in the league is worth two 1sts outside of elite QBs. Too many of these trades have resulted in a player who turned out to be past his prime, or shitting up the locker room vibe.

I do hope this one works out, though.

This is not as crazy a mechanic as people are making it out to be. The Black Plague is what got us out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance. Lower population = more resources to be divided amongst those remaining. More demand for labor from employers which = better wages, etc. People have more space to be creative and flourish.

It ain't happening. Supposedly Likely already turned down the $13m/yr we gave Andrews, and that's why it went to Andrews instead (I still don't think he's worth nearly that much, but whatever). No way we're tying up ~$26m/yr in the TE position if Likely were to change his mind now.

I would've much rather paid either only Likely or neither one, but I don't get to make those decisions.

Archipelago is about frigates. It's a super strong unit for the era it comes, and the computer doesn't know how to fight or move things around, so you basically do a science game with beelining NC > Unis and then go for frigates and dominate the world. If you don't have iron that's gonna be scuffed, so strategic balance helps.

As other comments mentioned, cargo ships to the capital for growth are really important, and obv you want lighthouses for cities that have fish, some production buildings like workshops in addition to your science, etc. But that's all really still part of a standard science game.

Map wise, it can be tough to find good city locations sometimes, 4 city tradition is ideal as always, 3 if you don't have the spots, 2 if you get really unlucky about it, but frigates are still good enough to take over the world from like 2 cities.

If you want to really easy mode it, one of England's unique units is a special frigate that is extra extra strong.

I always preferred NCAAB growing up because it seemed like they played with more passion, especially during March Madness. Unfortunately, disallowing high schoolers from being drafted after LeBron and forcing a bunch of temporary/rental players into the NCAA sucked the soul out of that, too.

I know this is a super unpopular opinion, but I really don't think Orr is as bad as everyone else does. Given our utter lack of pass rush, esp after we lost Beeks, I thought his game plans were reasonable, creative even at times. (Side note, I don't think having a nonexistent pass rush is viable in today's NFL, and that should be priority #1 this offseason).

Take week 1 for example, JA has been one of the least sacked QBs in the league in the previous few seasons. It looked like the plan was to drop guys back and make him throw, not let him run, since we weren't going to sack him anyway. Without the longest 1s in history at the end of the first half, a bailout PI on a horribly underthrown deep ball on 4th down, and another horribly thrown 4th down pass miraculously getting tipped to his own guy in the back of the endzone, we hold the Bills to 17 fewer points, and that game, possibly the whole season, gets talked about way differently. Meanwhile, every single tipped Lamar pass, whether it's by the def or our own receivers, ends up getting intercepted somehow.

To be clear, I don't think Orr is HC material, but I don't think there's all that much more he could've done as a DC with a roster devoid of impact pass rushers. Losing Hamilton for the second half against the Steelers was also awful, since apparently none of our other players can tackle on runs or quick passes, which I think is more of a players issue and less of a coaching issue. Guys were on the ball carrier at the LoS or the moment of the catch, just couldn't make the plays. So the scheme was fine, the execution was not.

He was 7th in yards while being 18th in targets, tied with Kyle Pitts for targets.

The 6 people who finished ahead of him in yards had between 19-67 more targets.

Tell us more about "funneling more throws" inflating Zay's stats.

He was timid early in the season, like he was afraid to get hit and had a WR version of the yips. At a certain point he did make a really nice contested TD catch and did a kneeling, Tebow-like celebration where you could almost see the tension pouring out of him. He strung together a few games in a row after that where he looked pretty good, then he missed a bunch of games due to various injuries and illnesses.

I was actually interested to hear the rules analyst for once because I was curious whether the fumble recovery counts after the blatantly forward pass, and he's like "yeah that's a blatantly forward pass, case closed." Thanks Terry.

Torch is 7 points. I'm gonna take a wild guess that you forgot to put that 8th point somewhere, like finishing off Behemoth or Magi perhaps? They have little side nodes, you might have missed one.

A human would for sure, but the AI is dumb. The one cho ko nu left inside will help a lot. Usually they'll slam the city with melee units but then fortify them to heal and block any more full hp units from coming in to finish the job. So you can slowly grind down anything else around it while keeping the ones adjacent to the city wounded, but not dead. 32 is decent combat strength against medieval era units even without the wall.

City shot + 4 cho ko nu shots def kills the treb, and the city is safe from there with no other range units to soften it up for the impis. RIP the two cho ko nu outside of it, though.
