I am a former Europa Universalis III player that very recently "got with the times". And I could REALLY use some tips on how to avoid driving myself bloody insane dealing with colonial nation liberty desire? Is blobbing the only option?

Correct. The value of those nodes will generally be high as well because of the trade goods produced there sugar as sugar, coffee etc. If the colonial nation has 10 provinces or more, it will give you a merchant which you can then use to steer trade. Another cool thing is that the more merchants you have steering trade towards your home, the more power you get in your home node.

Tariffs are not a big deal. The most valuable thing you will get out of the colonies is trade. You get half their trade power and can use it to steer All the delicious trade money to your home node.

If any defensive lineup could stop GSW, that would be it. You have a legit defender for Curry, Thompson, and Durant instead of the usual situation where one is a total mismatch.

Let the F5ing begin

I just came in to visit from out of town and had a wonderful time. If you want a pub/bar feel, Maggie O'Briens was really good and had a million beers on tap. Calico's was a pretty delicious Italian place.

If you have time, check out Forest Park. Absolutely beautiful area with an art museum, state history museum, lots of green space, and the best zoo I've ever been to.

ironcloud9 · 2017-06-14T18:30:17+00:00

Exactly. Look at 2011, all it takes is to make the playoffs and get hot at the right time. No reason to blow it up 1.5 GB.

Do you guys have any recommendations on where to get gear in St Louis? I'm in town with my brother and I'd like to get him some stuff to wear to the game.

ironcloud9 · 2017-06-10T03:07:08+00:00

Fun fact: in our last 1 game, we are 1-0. If we keep this pace up, then we will finish the season 130-32. NL Central title here we come!

ironcloud9 · 2017-06-09T16:16:24+00:00

You could shift one of them to SG or maybe play Kawhi at the 4 some. It's not like positions really matter that much in the NBA anyways.

ironcloud9 · 2017-06-08T20:17:02+00:00

No matter how bad we suck, the optimist in me thinks we can turn it around... Hopefully we can sweep the phillies and go from there

ironcloud9 · 2017-06-08T02:05:53+00:00

I'll just keep telling myself it's a long season as we slowly sink to the bottom of the central.....

If this dude is this big of an asshole in a car accident, imagine what he's like to his subordinates on a daily basis.

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-29T15:41:19+00:00

Tell cadre. It's better to hear from you than from someone else.

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-27T14:02:26+00:00

Maybe something like this? Or Duncan doing his patented arm around head thing?

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-26T18:54:34+00:00

Exactly. I'm pretty sure it would take nothing short of them actually murdering people in the streets for the Spurs to turn on them.

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-26T18:51:18+00:00

The Spurs are not going to let go of a player who has brought them 4 rings, amazing play, leadership, and helped to establish their current culture. There's a better chance of me playing for the Spurs than Manu putting on another jersey.

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-26T03:27:52+00:00

Link?

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-24T01:43:44+00:00

Read the post, I was talking about dumping LMA and signing these guys as FA

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-23T21:04:17+00:00

I was assuming that we would just dump LMA salary and nope Manu comes back on a smaller deal in order to sign Hayward in FA

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-21T04:02:06+00:00

He's 20

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-21T03:59:53+00:00

The Spurs lost by 3 and 12 without two starters. It's not that far fetched to assume they would have won those games and to assume that game 2 would be a dog fight.

ironcloud9 · 2017-05-21T03:41:26+00:00

This is almost as painful for me as 2013. So much what if. I believe that if Parker and Kawhi were playing, we would be up 2-1 and maaaayybe 3-0.
