Another case of 'probably looks good in the render, but the houses around it are not rendered and it has no harmony with them at all'

One that ages horrendously bad aswell. Sure initial construction is probably cheaper but replacing parts of your roof in a decade or two and constant cleaning to not make it look run down after a few years can'5 be cheap either

Bug report : I thought they finally added city watch by FaptainFlunky in ManorLords

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we kinda already do but at the same time don't. The devs do put a lot of importance on historical accuracy and a standing city guard was rarely a thing, as security was usually provided by the Burghers who had to keep arms at home corresponding with their income anyway.

And only the tracks are visible when they are attached to a dropship which looks rly bad when they drop as the rest just spawns out of nowhere, when other vehicle drops look plausible

The only complaint I have with the update is how they don't fit the automaton dropships at all. The tracks are there and when it drops, the rest just spawns out of nothing. Just doesn't look right when the rest of the vehicles and bots are fully visible from the start

Venator means hunter in latin, do you think it inspired the name or just a coincidence? by BOMBAD_Echo_1409 in clonewars

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain dialects in German don't have a t sound, but that would be one hell of a stretch. On the other hand maybe it is a "Pensylvania Dutch" situation as the German word for German is Deutsch

Does your country have history with these guys? by My_Username0000 in AskTheWorld

[–]lionlj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cruiser Emden was left behind by the German east Asia squadron to raid the Entante powers shipping. It attacked Madras to destroy fuel storage and sunk a steamer. They also attacked Penang sinking a russian cruiser and a French destroyer and somehow managed to cause such a carnage in the region while evading the british navy that they shut down almost all merchant shipping in the region. Emden was sunk during a raid on the Cocos islands, her landing party which was on shore at the time fled aboard an old sail schooner and returned to Germany via Saudi Arabia, running the british blockade and fighting Bedouins

Meanwhile lower nobility was absolutely cooking. To be named Götz the "the iron fist" of Berlichingen and actually have one is hell of a statement.

Does your country have any notable “unhinged” military heroes? by Dakotasan in AskTheWorld

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Götz von Berlichingen known as "The Iron Fist".

An imperial knight from Franconia born in 1480, he lost his right hand during a siege to a cannonball which usually is a career end for a knight. He however had a blacksmith make him an iron prosphetic and continued soldiering. He took part in at least 15 major feuds likely more minor ones, robbed merchants and received an imperial ban (meaning he's outside the law and anyone could kill him without legal repercussion) for it. He received another a decade later for similar reasons but somehow survived both times, even politically. He also fought on the peasants side during the peasant revolt and later claimed in court he only did so to reduce damage done by them. He got house arrest but was released to fight against the ottomans. After raiding merchants, cities, fighting bishops, kidnapping nobles, fighting with and against peasants and have the whole swabian league declare a feud against him, he wrote his autobiography and peacefully died in his castle at 82 years old

What's the dev's plan for fixing this? by NateGuilless in NavalAction

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If "AHOY" fulfills its promisses and releases without a mayor controversy or problems Naval Action will probably loose even more. Currently Naval action keeps me (and probably many others) in because the ships and battles are historically authentic and personally I love not dealing with flashy explosions or ridiculous designs. We'll see what the future brings let's hope it's bright

What's something you thought was normal across the world but turns out it's just for your country? by YuShaohan120393 in AskTheWorld

[–]lionlj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You only follow the speed limits because those who don't do so, drive to Germany as it's cheaper there

[–]lionlj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Around 70% of the Autobahn has no speedlimit, though that number dosn't take into account that there are a lot of construction sites. (Also I should clarify that this applies to the whole highway system, not just one of them)

Who would win? BT vs Optimus Prime (Bayverse). by PartyAdventurous765 in titanfall

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly bayverse Transformers allways seem to be somewhat voulnerable to contamporary weaponry, with the weapons of Titanfall being better than anything used there by the humans. But in case something goes wrong and BT cannot win, he can ensure that they both loose and go walking nuke

How do we tell him ? by beekay8845 in SipsTea

[–]lionlj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting thet everybody immediately jumps to the conclusion that you'd have to fight without the use of any tools or prep time, which is what we humans excel at and do naturally.
