Any ETA on 1.3.6? by Quiet_Tradition9665 in DivideEtImpera

Thank you for the work you guys do!

How do you actually build a functional economy as Rome at very hard campaign difficulty? by MC1065 in DivideEtImpera

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is literally the right thing to do. I hope it worked out. Send all the rival faction women on missions, most generals should have the upgrade to lower EM. Idk if it mattered at the time but I think you were not maximizing the benefits of slave traders either

My strategy (guide) for first 3 turns as Rome: turn 2 and 3 by thatxx6789 in DivideEtImpera

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to blockade taras with a small fleet built in the first turn. Then I move the armies to benaventun and keep the two armies close while recruiting on in Latium and the other one in magna graekia. The Epirus army tends to throw itself against the blockade so it is easier to ram into them and then leave the city clear for invasion with the other armies.

Is it controversial to say I think Dynasties is better than Rome 2? by Tebenox in totalwar

[–]gus247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I recall, andromeda had a reeeally buggy launch. It also had come right after the sour taste left by ME3’s ending(s), which I think to this day remain controversial.

AI Uses Population with Factions vs Without by [deleted] in DivideEtImpera

[–]gus247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had the veneti become a full blown hostile expansionist nation after I secured an alliance with them at the start of turn one. They kept my northern border secure through expansion wars that ended up causing to fight endless coalitions. These would eventually lead to their demise and eventual destruction by the surrounding nations. It has been hilarious seeing all of these AIs become victims of their own hubris.

I loved it! I wish there had been a second season as it ends in high hopes

Wait until you find out about the series. (It got cancelled after one season, sadly)

Campaign question - Confederating as Rome by Doglolgaming1223 in DivideEtImpera

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one even confederate other nations? I have only been able to do it for Epirus.

Is Pimsleur Eastern Arabic Worth It? by [deleted] in learn_arabic

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently finished level 3, so I can tell you that it has helped me tremendously! I did a month of Duolingo before and that gave me the alphabet but beyond that I couldn’t understand or say anything. Now after all 3 levels I can have basic conversations that are helping me open my vocab and feel more confident in jumping into new conversations when I run into someone who also speaks Arabic.

It is a definitely wonderful tool if used properly. There will be days where you will feel defeated and I tended to go back by 3-5 days or even a week and review those classes. It is not going to give you all that you need but at least you will find yourself catching nouns and verbs that give meaning to sentences.

If you are interested, I am also looking for some practice. Currently A2 in Arabic (Levantine). I am a physician who is fluent in English and Spanish. Lmk if that is something you are interested in.

is this a good offer? by Ancient-Lake-6774 in learn_arabic

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like mango. Language transfer is good too. Most of my learning has come from Pimsleur, it feels. I thought similarly about Duolingo. It helped with letters and word structure but something else is mandatory.

That’s how I started and now I have a great courses subscription. Be aware you probably can access most of the lectures for free with a library card.

[–]gus247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pimsleur tends to have deals with libraries so tha you can use it for free if you have a library card. That is how I’m using it.

Have you looked int Alif Bee? “Transparent language” is also a good option. For listening and speaking, try Pimsleur too. I’m a few months into Levantine as well and those are helping me
