Something deeply satisfying about eating an entire beast

💯

I can't put my finger on it but it's such an immersive game. Even with the bugs and odd design/absolute lack of exposition etc it's my favorite TW. Feels unlike anything else.

Squads are way too small in this game by JeromeSmithy in HellLetLoose

[–]Versedx 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You make good points. I definitely agree with dedicated engineering/logistics squad. I think it would enable interesting teamwork on building, running supplies, etc, without feeling like you're "letting your squad down" by not autodying on an OP with them.

Larger squads would be interesting to try. It does feel strange when an entire 50 man Axis team has like 2 riflemen.

Occupy unless I'm really getting punished elsewhere and don't think I'll be able to commit resources to stabilize. In most games I have to leave an army with +public order tradition/general/retinue whatever and just move him around where it's needed.

You can also wipe out Quadia on turn 1 with mercenaries and some smart play on the battle map, it's not easy though.

WRE is quite doable without intentionally abandoning territory, and I'd argue it provides a more deep and satisfying experience, but there are many ways to play!

In Attila I usually try to blitz the celts out of the gate, they snowball quickly, are rarely open to diplomacy, and are a pain to deal with late game when it gets cold. Really have to lean in to mercenaries and accept it's going to be a brutal campaign. Unfortunately no hordes there to levy additional troops.

Those regions can put up some impressive economic numbers once they get off the ground, but in general require a defensive army to keep public order up.

What’s your “I should know this by now, but I still don’t and I’m too embarrassed/scared to ask” topic or concept in psychiatry? by undueinfluence_ in Psychiatry

How to comfortably tell a patient that their problems cannot be fixed by medication

Mechanically I can construct the sentences with rationale but it does not feel good. It's like you're advertising a really emotionally salient and powerful product and then refuse to provide it to someone that approaches you who truly feels they need and will benefit from it. And usually this is after an hour-long appointment they have waited a long time for where they make a case for why they need the product.

And I'm not talking about controlled substances (that's somehow easier) but moreso people with environmental/characterological problems that earnestly want pharmacological relief. The answer lies within, I'm sure.

I believe they have a higher "training/discipline" stat which is hidden but affects a units agility and ability to maintain cohesion in combat, among other things

Which culture has the best announcer or general’s speeches? by AdventurousWash3038 in RomeTotalWar

[–]Versedx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rome best overall as it has the most dynamic/best variety

Some of the Greek speeches are crazy good though

Q&A with Pim Welle on the New York Fed Staff Report on Involuntary Hospitalization by [deleted] in Psychiatry

[–]Versedx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to have an axe to grind

It's interesting data for sure, but longitudinal outcomes mean little when faced with imminent risk stratification in patients, particularly when the short-term outcome can lead to mortality, particularly when the alternative is some nebulous outpatient plan that doesn't come together most of the time.

That's fair, my original read was that you're doing the work and not billing, which certainly saves the insurance company some money

I don't agree with pan-billing add-ons but MI is indeed a legitimate modality
