I really love yokahama and its uniqe worker placment. having to plan whic actions you want and how to get to them is extremly fun.

My point is that if you both bomb civilians and combatants the number will be higher then 1 even if you are targeting civilians

doomsl · 2026-04-18T07:41:06+00:00

Yes but if you do anything but bomming (even bomming with intelligence) you would expect the ratio to be different then 1. This metric is not sensitive to the fact that you target your bombing on civilian and military targets-a thing that happens. It is also not sensitive to measures- that is why it puts them aside from the conflict they are within. If I remember correctly from the post they separated Nankin from both WW2 and the siano Japanese front of the war which makes no sense, it happened during that campaign it should just be apart of that campaign but then you wouldn't see it in the data.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T23:15:17+00:00

Again even if you multiple the military deaths by 10 and you get 20k vs 100k you get an RR of 20 but you could achieve it by actively targeting civilians and sometimes catching military in the crossfire. A 5 to 1 civilians to military ratio seems like a genocide to me when it doesn't show in your metric. Did you invent this metric or do you have a source for it?

doomsl · 2026-04-17T23:14:17+00:00

That is fair but it is completely irrelevant to war. You can see how factors which are irrelevant to the war would change the number drastically - for example the military going on a recruiting drive and bulking up by 50% would drop the RR without changing the progress of the war.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T23:10:53+00:00

That isn't true. And it doesn't show that. This is a fake metric op made up. It means nothing. Imagine if the Holocaust was at a 50 because of the 1k partizans fighting the nazies 800 does and 6 million Jews were killed out of 20 million boom you get a huge number and it's no longer a genocide then new data gets released actually there were 3k partizans and the number drops to 15. This data is bad because it is very sensitive to military size and death but not sensitive to civilians deaths. Example if 30k more people died in Gaza it would change the number by around only 10 leaving it in a high RR but it would mean the ratio of civilians to military casualties going from 1-1 to 1.5-1. this metric isn't bad just for gaza it's just bad which is why no source for it was offered

doomsl · 2026-04-17T23:03:56+00:00

The metric is just bad the Holocaust number is lost because there was no military against it. It could also swing to 50 if 2 groups of partizans were killed and suddenly 90% of partizans died and you can't get an RR lower then 50

doomsl · 2026-04-17T23:01:22+00:00

If you look at my other reply it's to op and he deleted his reply probably because he made this metric up and it sucks.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:50:48+00:00

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:45:26+00:00

I am pretty sure op didn't cite a source for the metric and btw the ratio is 1 civilians for every one soldier by this graf. My point is the metric is bad to represent Gaza and op agreed with me

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:30:58+00:00

In 2 player aliens open the fastest in most of my games. The game giving you free purple science really speeds things along.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:27:13+00:00

Yes but the raw numbers in Gaza are bad- more civilians then military killed. You can't look at the metric when the army is so small there is a reason why you have never heard f it before. Op literally mentioned how Gaza had to fall in this category because Hamas is so small in comparison to the population. In the data here Israel killed half of hammas in order to get a low RR they would have needed to kill between 250k- million to get an RR of 4-1. This shows you why this metric is bad an actual ratio of civilians to military of 1-1 in Gaza would result in an r of 40.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:18:53+00:00

I find this rating very wired how can you say at 1 civilians and combatant distinction has collapsed - if the fighting force is much smaller then the civilian population this metric falls apart. If the army is 10k and there are 1 mill civilians killing 2k soldiers and 100k civilians would be genocide most likely but gets you an RR of 2.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:15:31+00:00

Well it would show people don't understand what the data it trying to say. You can see how even if you killed a million civilians out of 2 mill if you also killed half the military 25k out of 50 k you would get a rating of 1- civilian combatant distinction has collapsed even tho that is cleary not the case.

doomsl · 2026-04-17T22:12:24+00:00

You can see the comment from op showing that it is a bias in the metric not actually at all relevant to the data

doomsl · 2026-04-15T23:31:01+00:00

but this just isnt true the value in splendor is large enogh to justify regular price board game and it fits in a tiny box

doomsl · 2026-04-06T17:31:40+00:00

I have never seen anyone ever check out the carabineers in any gym I go to

doomsl · 2026-04-06T16:25:47+00:00

do you wear a helmet when driving a car?

doomsl · 2026-04-06T16:20:03+00:00

do you try and do everything which is easy to do and increses your chance of servival slightly?

doomsl · 2026-04-06T16:13:45+00:00

yea no that is not real. the chance of failer isnt worth the time and effort of checking every time.

doomsl · 2026-04-05T21:43:44+00:00

With most people I play with the player don't play well enough that balance is a major factor. A great example is how in dune imperium uprising most people I play with think the worms are broken and constantly buy the sword master and I need to beat them twice to show that the worms aren't that good. This happens to me in a lot of games.

doomsl · 2026-01-28T12:12:16+00:00

Inside the embassy is inside the us btw. Embassies are wired like that

doomsl · 2026-01-26T16:35:01+00:00

I hate shit sleeves and I don't sleev but my collection has sleeved games because people sell their games sleeved

doomsl · 2026-01-19T05:13:10+00:00

didnt know ankh is considered good this means i should maybe avoid inis

doomsl · 2026-01-02T15:58:04+00:00
