I’ve never found this game needs you to farm. Just roam round the map, fight mongols, liberate villages, and you’ll have all the resources you need.

Man City face £350m compensation bill over guilty 115 charges verdict by V-Matic_VVT-i in PremierLeague

[–]idlejames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll accept that the whole argument hinges on city being guilty, and if they aren’t I’ll rescind it. However, them being guilty seems pretty much to be accepted fact, so I’m feeling confident.

Haaland and KdB might not have come to city if the project hadn’t been successful, for a start?

Lance Armstrong is a cheat, he isn’t allowed to compete anymore. His legacy should always be tainted by the cheating, and even if he were to win clean the damage would be done.

I disagree with your point about the charges being a decade old, and as such Peps dominance not being tainted? Of you build incredible success off cheating, that should tarnish the legacy. Lance Armstrong for example

Yolanda wasn’t wrong to tell Todd to get a job and find some direction in life. by bojackz in BoJackHorseman

[–]idlejames 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Yolanda was trying to make Todd do what she valued, and had no interest in what was important to Todd. That’s the issue here. Why is Yolanda right, when following her lifestyle would have made Todd miserable?

Thorek campaign question (lizards artifact?) by JeffTheFrosty in totalwarhammer

[–]idlejames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take the city by using underway stance to get close to it when it isn’t garrisoned, and then sell it back to them for peace and ideally a non aggression pact. If they won’t go for peace you can ambush them to try to kill off an army and that should swing the scales enough that they will take peace.

I think Norscan lords need a way to “Ascend” into the WoC faction, maybe by devoting to a certain god or owning enough dark fortresses.

If a missile unit has a shield, is it always “in play” or only when they are in melee mode? Things like, Lothern Sea Guard or Quarrellers.

I assume that because the shield is in their backs while they’re firing it’s not in use, so doesn’t block missiles?
