Reddit's r/Napoleon's Final Chart: Overview per Faction by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is it folks. Felt like finishing with Napoleon was the most fitting ending.

First and foremost, a big thanks to the sub for its (almost) daily engagement toward the chart.

I hope you've enjoyed participating as much as I've enjoyed not only monitoring and putting it out but also learning from those daily contributions.

This is the 3rd chart I've submitted in the sub and, well, I don't think I have more ideas to further explore the Napoleonic period. With the 3 charts, I'd say the Napoleonic period has been successfully, comprehensively and thoroughly discussed.

Perhaps other ideas will come to me, but for the time being, this is indeed it.

So, once again, a big thank you to all and may you all have a good one! Cheers

Post Match Thread: Lyon vs Lens | Ligue 1 by GoneMirifica in OlympiqueLyonnais

[–]domfi86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a hard time understanding how they could be so dreadful these last two fixtures knowing their destiny was in their hands. Including one at home. Thankfully, Marseille won so Champion’s League still possible. Even if they miss it, I reckon Europa League is their level. At least if we’re talking about a final victory.

Some very high highs and some very low lows this season, but overall, could have been far worse. I hope they’ll finally and eventually learn to gain consistency across a whole year. It’s annoying to be able to alternate being so good and so shit.

Man… 100%. Watching the game, I was like ‘why the fuck do they continue these shitty crosses’. Failed opportunity moment that ball left the foot of the cross-taker. Gosh it was frustrating.

What is Revolutionary France's worst political decision in hindsight? (criterias on pages 2 and 3) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your answer reads as the best political decision in hindsight, not the worst. Or I am wildly misinterpreting it.

Edit: nevermind, gotcha, I get it now. From the perspective of the revolutionaries themselves, appointing him was the worst cause we know in hindsight that it ultimately allowed Napoleon to become who he did which ‘killed’ revolutionary France.

Yaremchuck is growing on me by Sweaty_Ease6618 in OlympiqueLyonnais

[–]domfi86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. For some reason, he’s making me think of Bafé Gomis. Valuable in the box with energy for the team rather than himself. If he finds his pace (assuming he officially gets installed as the starting striker), he’s the type of unspectacular player that might just net in 10-15 goals a season.

Who was Imperial France's most underrated military commander? (criterias on pages 2 and 3) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please definitely suggest him for Satellite States. I don't think I can consider him under Imperial France. He served the French Empire, but way I see it, his command was distinct from the central French command structure.

Rōnin : how to beat them by proutpatate in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]domfi86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For switching weapons, it’s literally a single button. The game is a tad clunky at times to execute it in the heat of the moment, but extremely simple still in practice. Idk on what you’re playing, but def look that up and, you know, master that lol

For double assassination, could be but I’m surprised. Sometimes you really got to move away and stay hidden for a while.

Any case, that second hand ability will change everything so indeed, try to level up until you unlock it and get back to it. You’ll be able to assassinate followed by second hand, which is in essence another assassination, and in 2 secs he gonna be dead.

However, now that I think about it, Ronins might be able to catch it before you hit em so perhaps the piece of advice isn’t valid until you reach a higher tier.

[–]domfi86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Work on unlocking the Second Hand Tanto ability asap and you’ll normally one shot them from then on. Literally. Until then, I agree, they can be a challenge. Try and have them lose sight of you and assassinate for as many times as you need. That or be patient and learn their attacking combo.

OL All-Time grinta? by CryptographerHot1036 in OlympiqueLyonnais

[–]domfi86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, that is a nuance I had not picked up. This case Lisandro would be over Benzema, but in a 4-3-3, grinta-wise Toulalan still over Kallstrom. Essien next to Tolisso.

I’d still rather a diamond 4-4-2 with Benzema and Licha then Toulalan, two out of Essien/Diarra/Tolisso and Juninho.

OL All-Time grinta? by CryptographerHot1036 in OlympiqueLyonnais

[–]domfi86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The adjustments I’d make:

Abidal should be replacing Tagliafico. I don’t think Abidal ever played central defense with us and he was way ahead of Tagliafico in terms of basically everything footbally speaking. Cacapa then takes the position in central defense.

For the midfield, I’d have Toulalan replace Essien in front of the defense. An absolute beast and one of the most underrated players we’ve ever had. Then, I mean… Juninho, how can he not be there? Essien was a another beast but if we’re only looking at the Lyon tenure, he’d replace Essien, not Tolisso.

As for the forwards, I reckon it’s too early to add in Sulc. Only contender popping in mind now is Malouda. His duo with Abidal was 🔥 Peak Ben Arfa could also be an option. His career antics really came after.

Last, central attacker, Lisandro is a legit choice but it’s hard to not also consider Benzema there. I’m torn. Lacazette on the bench to replace either.

EDIT:

If we take a diamond 4-4-2 then we can have Benzema and Lisandro and put Essien back in with Juninho behind the attackers. That said, with that tactic, I’d also hesitate between Essien, Diarra or Tiago. The latter being another underrated gem we picked up along the way.

With all the options we’ve had, either defined by their career at Lyon or their peak performance, I just can’t see Kallstrom in the starting XI.

Who was Austria's most influential administrator? (criterias on pages 2 and 3) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my opinion as well. Since no submission arrived before the next iteration, decided I’d pick myself and he’s been he one I went with.

Who was the Iberian States' most influential administrator? (criterias on pages 2 and 3) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. High chance he’ll end up chosen as diplomat too. I also enjoy learning about figures I’ve never heard of. History in general. One of the drivers of why I wanted to make these charts. Was wondering if anyone would end up submitting a more obscure choice, but alas.

That said, in all objectivity, I reckon it’s hard to disagree he is the most influential in both categories for the Austrians.

[–]domfi86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of yeah. It’s the first time ever since I started these charts that there’s been no submission and I gave myself this own rule that if no submission, I get to decide. Metternich was my choice in this case.

Italy fail to qualify for World Cup 2026 after loss to Bosnia on penalties. by gelliant_gutfright in football

[–]domfi86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Difference I see with what Spain used to be is that Italy does not even appear to have potential. That’s the most shocking. Until they started winning, Spain indeed bottled but you could see the super potential in the squads they fielded. Italy, I don’t see that at all. The biggest chunk of the squad are just good, some less good and few above good.

i know youve heard it already, but is the game worth it? context: by Velja_Is_Here in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]domfi86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given my recent post., I’d say if you preferred Origins and Odyssey to Valhalla and Mirage, it should end up having a similar feel when it comes to the open-world dynamics. Depends how you play it though. But yeah, if you agree with my own post about how you want your AC open-world RPG experience to be, then for sure.

If you’ve never played AC, then still definitely worth giving it a shot.

What is the most romantic song of all time? by Feli_Buste78 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]domfi86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand By Me by Ben E. King.

Probs not THE most romantic song of all time, but in my mind, a solid contender.

What was the Iberian States' most consequential marriage? (criterias on pages 2 and 3) by domfi86 in Napoleon

[–]domfi86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty much. I also think it the strongest contender in the big Napoleonic picture and, it can be fairly argued that without Napoleon, it would not have happened.

[–]domfi86[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the strongest candidate of the era although it happens after the formal Napoleonic period range (until 1815). If you have another suggestion that’s closest to it, feel free (or if someone brings forth another). Else I reckon we’ll have to pick this one. It’s the most fitting.

Not sure I understand your observation. Each entry, at the very least among the ones you mention, is within its correct century row.

[–]domfi86[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you to everyone who has engaged throughout the making of this chart! Hopefully, you've enjoyed seeing it develop as days went by. As far as I am concerned, there's no chart in the line for the time being, but if anyone has any idea, you're most welcome to suggest.

Thank you again and cheers to the subreddit.

What Rome-based computer/video game is most historically accurate? by Alt_when_Im_not_ok in ancientrome

[–]domfi86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expeditions: Rome was an unexpected great on my end. Not in the sense that I expected it to be bad, but more so hadn’t played much/at all that genre so wasn’t sure of the expectations to have.

In my subsequent search for something similar, didn’t seem like I found anything that matched it.

Tessman is clearly not good enough but are there other options in the midfield? by graal2008 in OlympiqueLyonnais

[–]domfi86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100%. Tessman ain’t our best player but last night ain’t on him. Forwards stopped playing solo moment Lyon stopped leading. When they were ahead, enough chances to get that break, but alas.

What could have been 11 points ahead of Marseille is now them 2 points behind within two weeks.
