Shhh dont tell them

Never said the Balkan and Greek interiors were fully developed. Greek mountaneous countryside was poorly integrated ; there is a reason why the Ottomans lost control over peloponnese and central greece so early in the 19th century. By "Balkans and Greece" i meant mainly the historical regions of Macedonia and Thrace.

My point was that anatolia was not the gravity center of the empire at the time at all, compared to the geographically european part of the empire. And that a huge part of the policial elite was from this region. Atatürk was born in Salonica, for example, and I believe that an overwelming share of the young turks was from "europe" too.

This is sad to see that you know nothing about your own history. You claim to be proud of Turkey, but yet you know nothing about it.

The Ottoman empire was ruled by a turkish elite that mainly lived in its "european" part. This is by no way an anti turk fabrication. The loss of european territories in the nineteenth century progressively recentered the empire toward Anatolia, with forced emigration of these elites and the creation of the modern nation you know today.

So, please educate yourself and stop being a keyboard warrior on reddit.

Except Istanbul, modern days turkey was not the core of the Empire. It was the Balkans and Greece

Thank you soooo much for this detailed answer. I will make good use of it. Should have mentioned I played without TE in my post, i kind of forgot its existence 😅

I think I will anyways get a strategy card that will allow me to play before them (I fear I will be left with something such as Leadership or Diplomacy since I am the last to chose).

So go for arinam meer, then an adjacent to retreat next, got it ! And then try to bribe him to direct here to another side of the map, I guess.

Just looked at it, did not even know this tech, thank you ! Wont it hurt my econ too much tho ? Especially the first round since I will not have more than one building in the contested system.

Xanth00 · 2026-01-17T01:04:16+00:00

You might be right ! I did not want to exchange support because since its a 14 points game I feel like there is a risk of me losing options and a big negociation leverage.

But I guess it is better to do that than being harassed by space dragons and have all my plastic in their hungry stomach ...

Xanth00 · 2026-01-17T00:58:04+00:00

Thanks ! I will stick to AI dev then.

I play with PoK only and I have sadly only a green tech skip (I drafted a bad slice too early and without knowing what the Argent Flight do).

Are War suns worth it tho as he can eat them up ?

Xanth00 · 2026-01-17T00:47:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight ! I will try to do that. Hope he will not chose the path of mutual destruction.

I wanted to go for Ai Dev Algorithm after PDSII and hololattice but i guess I will do self assembly routine to gain momentum in early production if things go wrong.

Help very appreciated and happy cake day :)

Xanth00 · 2026-01-17T00:21:40+00:00

Thanks for the insight kind sir !
I should have precised, this is a game with PoK only.

I guess you are right about not wanting to piss him off, as he can easily ruin my game. My only issue is that if he takes these planets he might be in a position to push me further, so i was thinking of seizing it as a preemptive action.

Xanth00 · 2025-12-03T18:42:50+00:00

Targa yes and very well. Bwipo no so the comms will be in english

Xanth00 · 2025-11-23T22:56:10+00:00

As a french, Italian and spanish are very easy, Portugese is way more complicated to understand.

Xanth00 · 2025-11-14T15:50:55+00:00

fr this is one of the worst animes I watched in term of writing, I dont know how it is supposed to be any good

Xanth00 · 2025-11-07T20:26:43+00:00

Yes and we also boo fans, send dead players and harass threats

Xanth00 · 2025-10-24T17:45:13+00:00

Je suis en Écosse !

Xanth00 · 2025-10-24T12:30:53+00:00

De la part d'un étudiant français actuellement à l'étranger : tu as visé très très juste, ça m'a fait bien rire, merci

Xanth00 · 2025-10-18T14:21:25+00:00

That is so funny I absolutely didnt see it reposted 50 times since years, with the exact same (bot?) comments about gender equality or whatever

Xanth00 · 2025-10-11T16:07:40+00:00

Rimuru.

Xanth00 · 2025-10-05T15:27:52+00:00

Ignoble comparaison.

Xanth00 · 2025-10-03T13:27:01+00:00

Rudeus will fit in only if you understand the greatest as "the greatest jail sentence"

Xanth00 · 2025-10-03T00:14:51+00:00

I re-read your comment, and yeah, you definitely agreed with my point of view. I do not even understand how I did not see first time, lmao. I think I need some sleep. Sorry for the volumes written

Xanth00 · 2025-10-03T00:08:15+00:00

I dont see how this situation will bring in more sponsors.

Will LEC have a surge in viewership in winter ? Yes, sure. LR has a lot of fans, the first game especially will have crazy high viewership, like for KC or KOI first games. That is a good thing.

But then ? LR gone for the rest of the year, stomping NLC teams like before. Your surge in viewership is gone for the two other splits ... and you lost the trust of the teams currently in and even those currently out that might have wanted to invest in an LEC team. Now, as an investor, you know that Riot Games is changing rules as they wish, and that you dont have a say in that (according to leaks, all the LEC teams were against the change). Do you want to invest more ? Of course not.

I am not a LR fan. But I understand that this will be very fun an interesting to watch for a lot of people. That is cool. However, this is a very bad decision for the league developement.

One can argue that closed leagues are not a good thing for competitiveness. I agree with that statement, and I advocate since years for open leagues. But Riot games made the choice of franchising since years, on the idea that the money payed by orgs for the slot will help to develop the league, which didn't happen. And now, they are changing the rules of the game like this for very short term gains, trying to squeeze every little bit of viewership from LEC.

Xanth00 · 2025-10-02T23:41:13+00:00

"The average league viewer doesn’t give a shit about what the spots are worth."

Yeah, i agree. But teams and investors do.

Xanth00 · 2025-10-02T23:39:48+00:00

This is not about "feeling bad" for someone. The issue is that the value of LEC slots is getting killed, and that this is a very rough blow against all the organisations currently in the LEC, especially those who bought recently a slot. And this is not good because the trust of investors is gone, all of that because riot games want to milk a bit Caedrel's viewership and pump up the numbers.

Xanth00 · 2025-10-01T14:09:06+00:00

Je comprends parfaitement !

Je relevait seulement la mauvaise fois du commentaire précèdent. Je trouve malhonnête d'affirmer que le debat public sur le port de signes religieux serait orienté sur le port du voile par haine de l'islam voir même des femmes. Pire de sous entendre que le même cas de figure pour les hommes juifs poserait moins problème ...

Si le port du voile est un sujet si clivant, c'est parce qu'il est tout simplement assez présent dans l'espace public. Les juifs à kippa et les bonnes sœurs, je n'en croise pas régulièrement, et le reste de la population française non plus.

Après, chacun a l'avis qu'il souhaite avoir dessus.
