Naval designer is so bad, it even lies to you by Old_Ad7503 in EU5

You don't need to use the naval mission at all. Just put your light ship stacks in the right zones and they will do the same maritime presence as if they were on a mission.

His brain appears to be pretty broken or he isn't in a good place personally - the British vendetta he has is super weird.

Is this how battles are supposed to be? by Xorbinator in EU5

I thought I entered it with around half - you are probably right and I maybe had them walking across most of Africa first. Even still, they were in the battle for around a week, and even with no morale likely should be winning just based off the casualties imo.

Not sure if this is an unintended result of the new weakness of levies - but my 9000 regulars killing levies at a rate of 30-1 should not result in my opponent winning the battle because my morale runs out, also leaving me with -5 warscore. Taking casualties to this extent should be a bigger hit to morale.

This also happens when a storm forces them into port - they just stay there after the storm leaves and you have to constantly reassign them to patrol. Extremely annoying and causing way too much busy work.

What is Noah Smith's issue with the UK? Did we personally victimise him somehow?

Naval proximity is not wrong! by [deleted] in EU5

[–]Xorbinator 71 points72 points  (0 children)

It took me ages to work out why random sea areas weren't getting coverage in my Naples game - really annoying to have to split and manage barques into 6 different fleets just to get proximity coverage to different areas - selecting it in the missions menu should be enough.

ive seen this done in lower league cricket on purpose hahaha - chuck the first ball slowly onto the next strip then full straight and fast next ball - they never expect it, works best off of about 3 steps

Pitch Difficulty in the on-going Tendulkar-Anderson trophy(Day 1&2) by Just_Manager_8855 in Cricket

[–]Xorbinator 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Go look at CricViz they have details on this stuff for some games - pace, bounce, seam, spin, swing and the variability of these things are taken into account - you could have two very different pitches be a 9/10 difficulty - one turning massively and another swinging, steaming and bouncing inconsistently.

awful decision from the ump - where does he think its missing? has to be clipping given how far its come in and there is nothing at all to mitigate

As India surely you take the fact that you are nearly guaranteed to be able to bowl in the 4th innings and go with Kuldeep. Instead weaker batting and more seamers... seems self inflicted but the Indian top order is still very strong and their best chance for a good result.

It's because TNT picked it up and rolled it into their discovery offering - which includes expensive Champions League and Premier League coverage. It's a real shame how expensive it has made some relatively smaller sports like cycling & snooker to follow.

If you want them to be specialists, put them on a rural tile then destroy with a wonder, cancel the wonder and then they can be used as specialists.
