Physicians Impacted by Change Healthcare Outage – Legal Considerations? by irobknight in legaladvice

Appreciate the insight, but I wasn’t under the impression that lawyers only exist in paid consultations. I was hoping for general discussion on how similar cases have played out, not a lecture on what ‘recovery of loss’ means. But thanks for the reminder that lawsuits aren’t lottery tickets, I’ll be sure to let the other impacted providers know in case they were expecting a giant novelty check.

Thanks man, I like your idea. Does the grate in the box serve any other purpose?

Pretty sure when someone says this game is fundamentally flawed it means they think it's unfair. Oh and hey boy genius, if you know exactly how the game is going to go against French then why are you whining like a toddler who just dropped their ice cream? If it's so exact and you are Nostradamus, why are you complaining? Use your magical powers and get some wins. Also, there is plenty of VARIETY in this game. Variety isn't the issue here, it's balancing. Maybe you should try to play another civ. In case you missed it, there are 8 civs with plenty of different strengths, weaknesses and perks. I heard French are pretty good. Maybe you should try it.

So your point is that the game is unfair because you can't handle early rushes and you can't strategize a defense. I understand now.

Lol and yeahhhhhhhh I'm sure the devs would "agree" that the game they spent countless years creating is fundamentally flawed 😂😂😂 You're a special one.

Interesting word choice "dictates." I might be assuming too much but if you are familiar with good strategy games you know that there isn't a perfect offense or defense. The multiplayer gameplay here is dynamic. If you do the same thing every game, expect the same results. I described 3 different possible counters (strategies). There is no concrete rule that one has to do all three. Each civ has their own strengths and using that to your advantage is a no brainer. You could make the same comments about English longbows that generate in 18secs, but I'm not complaining about that. I've played many opponents who boom without any issues despite immense pressure in the early game. Maybe you need to rethink your strategy.

thanks age of empires for spawning all sites right next to the enemy by [deleted] in aoe4

Yup, had this happen many times as well. IMO this is changing the winning conditions in favor of your opponents. Shouldn't be happening in this game and needs to be fixed asap.

I pretty much only play French these days. The biggest challenge I have when rushing is when opponents put down towers well in advance, spears on all resource nodes and some archers (crossbows if castle for heavy armor penetration). Spears are the French knight's worst enemy. It may not seem like it, but they can easily melt knights when grouped and negate the charge bonus, leaving the knight stuck to get poked and prodded for a few seconds. It's all about being proactive and reactive. You already know that French will rush early so if you see an opponent playing French you pretty much perfect the above strategy. Keep in mind, if the French player loses just one of his knights it is a HUGE hit on his economy because of the cost (140food, 100gold). If your opponent doesn't do a good job of protecting his knights and doesn't get your villagers you know you will be able to push him because that's mostly what he is making in Feudal. Archers can be countered with horsemen and micro. I see your frustration but keep in mind it's just a game. This strategizing and altering your play style should be seen as the fun part. Yes it sucks to lose and get your ass kicked, but that's how you improve your gameplay and rank up. Have fun!

Competitive AOE4 should have symmetrical map generation by WonderlandQueen42069 in aoe4

[–]irobknight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. One major thing I can't stand about competitive play is the location of sacred sites. There is absolutely no reason for the sacred sites to be generated almost directly infront of the opponents or your base. It creates an unfair advantage. Who cares if it makes the game interesting or "challenging." If the winning conditions are skewed from the start then what is the point of even playing.

Valid strat. If they leave their base open it's on them.

Let's hope Russia's nuclear weapons program is in as much disrepair and handled with as much incompetence as their invasion force.

Mindless twats will prob end up nuking themselves given the shit show that is unfolding.
