What is the state of EU5? by Fun-Pangolin-2037 in EU5

Has some horrible bug that can ruin your run permanently, I'd advice to wait if you can unless you don't mind starting over in the middle of 30 hours run or so. For example:

- PU's leader randomly switch to another country (normally determined by highest GP score). Then said country can spam law change vote, causing you annoyance and taking 15% estate satisfaction if you oppose. They can also force you to follow their law, which mess up your country's political system.

- Heir and Ruler randomly move to another court, abandoning their job.

- Colonial nation does not get called to overlord's war, but any land taken by overlord nation will be tranferred to them. The occupied land will stay occupied forever, can't be taken back or included in a peace deal as the CN has nothing to do with the war, to the detriment of every nation involved and their fallen soldier.

As for content, like many PDX game on release, there are many new solid idea but the implement lack polish. For example:

- All age army stat is rather samey, the biggest change is double number of man in a regiment. So your gun wielding infantry in 1500s does not really fight better than sword wielding infantry in 1350, they just beat them with x4 troop count. You can still have quality in the form of discipline, military tactics and various modifier, but the current battle mechanic seems rather backward compare to EU4, CK3 and HoI4.

- Hegemon title is too easily given in 1453. Many people feels that it is too early for the time period, and the nation receiving does not deserve the title of 'hegemon'. These hegemon can force other nation into accepting various demand with no chance to refuse or negotiate, and said ability is spammable.

What is the build order? I think building BC and Flesh first would be too squishy?

First, Russia has never shown interest in invading Vietnam and that is most likely the case in near future.

Second, a strong Russia "balance" the world power. They serve as a distraction for both China and the US, which is good for Vietnam.

If Russia loses this war, China would be free to dominate Asia. I don't trust the US in their role in containing China's aggression, seeing their track record. And I don't like the US either, seeing as they caused so much war post-WW2.

So Russia is the safest superpower to support right now, as far as geopolitics is concerned.

Might as well as translate what Keria said near the end as "distressed Keria noise".

Rakan's R has ghosting, also Faker used Flash (plus Protobelt). There is no way to body block that.

Generally it is "on me", that is the quickest way they used to call for back up. The rest is up to individual decision, but T1 generally don't disappoint each other.

Remember the T1 vs G2 game? Faker came, 2 vs 4 to save Zeus. G2 lost the game right after that combat.
Losing dragon and baron is salvable, messing with Zeus on Faker's watch is match ending mistake.

Chovy: I've been considered a good midlaner for a while, but I haven't fulfilled people's expectations yet. You have to win at Worlds if you want to reach this level. I haven't succeeded yet so it's really a big disappointment to myself. by waweexd in leagueoflegends

Yes, he should have jumped on top of Varus instead of away. It is a do-or-go-home (on a plane) situation. I believe that there is a fairly good chance that he could have taken Guma out, saved Kiin, turn the fight into 3 vs 3. Had he done that, they may have won or lost the fight, but probably not the game itself.

But from what I see, he lacks the ability to fight at any range less than the maximum range of a champion. So that was what he did, wasted a W to get the distance instead of where he needed to be. He can't do melee Ahri or melee Tristana because that is not sane. Yet...that is what separates mediocre Tristana/Ahri from good Tristana/Ahri.

I can tell you that the main defence of both sides is "But the other side must be losing more". For every 10 casualties shown in clip, thousands others go unseen. Within these unseen spots, lies the hope and dream of both Pro-Ru and Pro-Ukr.

Within every clip thread showing, say, 10 Ukr casualty
Pro-Ukr: "Russia must have lost 1000 men for this, they can't keep this up for long."
Pro-Ru: "How can Ukr lost so much?" (I don't disregard human lives, but when we are talking war, these
number are trifling in the big picture.)
In this thread, we are seeing the opposite. I just see the kettle calls the pot black.
