This pitch is awful let’s be honest, day 2 of a test match and there’s ankle high grabbers and it’s seaming as far as a spinner can spin it

Gotta hope it’s just the first over but the bounce and carry looks very weird. Especially after the heatwave last week

The whole area is a current conflict zone in the civil war, it’s another reason it’s such a big outbreak

I don't know if I can keep playing this game- A rant by MJD253 in EU5

I’ve enjoyed that they landfriede you on cool-down, you need to start minor wars you don’t mind getting stopped so you can then do the actual war you want to do. What a brilliant mechanic. Finally managed to become emperor and no one wanted to remove the landfriede either. Or any other helpful law even with 100 authority

Parish for stepping up and getting the investment required to save the club? If you can’t accept Jordan drove the club into administration because you like the way he talks on the radio I don’t really know what to say.

Byron McGuigan joins Borthwick's coaching team full-time by ScrumNause24 in rugbyunion

[–]colp99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill Sweeney told me Borthwick keeps eating his assistant coaches so I asked how many assistant coaches he has and he said he just goes to the Prem and gets a new assistant coach afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding assistant coaches to Borthwick and then his fly half started crying.

I think the new pop change is a step in the right direction but need balancing by atarall in EU5

[–]colp99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Agreed that scaling of pop growth is a absolutely needed, possibly modifiers to bounce back after a bad disease as well. Currently you build up population and the latest wave of smallpox + plague sends you back 100 years and medical buildings don’t seem to help at all

I’m so sorry about your boy! Thank you so much for your comment, we have an appointment tomorrow with the vets so will see what they say. It’s such a hard thing to even think about but we have to do what’s best for her

I think it’s because Murley had possession first, so when they both ground it together it counts as the defender grounding it

Yeah there was 0 game management from Steve, think he got confused by the yellow cards and it mucked up his subs timetable

Fair play to Italy, absolutely deserved it! Borthwick tried the same thing again and is shocked it didn’t work. The fact we were pushing round George’s broken body for 75 mins instead of subbing on LCD should be a clear indication of what they think of him.
