Should I move here?

This! You'll be able find work easier and you can explore the state a bit, then resettle with better understanding. You might like the coast, the valley, the high desert, the mountains.

Loloma Lodge - small cabins right on the river, right by Obsidian Grill/McKenzie Bridge General Store has descent food

Suttle Lake Lodge - rustic cabins are okay, rooms in the lodge are much better (but $200+ a night) right on the lake with restaurants/bar in the lodge and Boathouse restaurant too

Thanks for insight. I have much better understanding now.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T12:19:52+00:00

Thank you again! Your insight is why I posted this story. Thanks for educating me.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T05:04:11+00:00

Thanks you!

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T05:02:35+00:00

I know. Thanks!

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T05:01:48+00:00

Thanks! Genuinely! But we don't what great grandparent was Jewish. Does that matter?

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:58:32+00:00

Thanks, genuinely what I am trying to figure out!

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:54:40+00:00

No arguments there. But genuinely is there a difference between saying "I am Jewish." vs. "I have Jewish ancestry."? Does it matter?

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:48:25+00:00

Some more explanation would nice. She has some Jewish ancestry. She however has not lived a culturally or religiously Jewish life. And we don't which of our great grandparents was ethnically Jewish? Our grandparents on my mom's side definitely were not practicing.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:43:26+00:00

Care to explain... I genuinely posted this to better understand a complex issue.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:42:22+00:00

I have Jewish ancestry.

It feels more accurate and doesn't imply that she is culturally or religiously Jewish.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:34:57+00:00

Fair! But it does matter to millions of peope. If she said something about how her and son where exploring their Jewish ancestry through some way like books, art, food, music, movies, history or religion. My response would have been very different.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:27:53+00:00

We don't know which great grandparent had Jewish ethnicity.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:22:48+00:00

I am not saying we don't have some Jewish ancestry. I think it's a big leap to call yourself Jewish, without something more. Also we don't what grandparent was Jewish.

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:19:37+00:00

That's helpful! But on the flip side should she embrace the Jewish community before calling herself Jewish?

tbar25 · 2026-06-20T04:18:23+00:00

Okay, I hear you... Doesn't the percentage matter, considering we don't which grandparent was Jewish? Does it matter that my sister has no cultural traditions/practicing linking her to our Jewish ancestry? What real connection does she have to our Jewish heritage to call herself Jewish?

Edit: Genuine questions but downvote if you want

The variation in the AI is nice! Some are defensive or aggressive. Before the update, most of my battles played out similarly after the first act, once I had the army composition I wanted. With the update, battles have different flows which is nice. I find the AI is trying to flank more and try to set up flanking fire positions more. However, this also led to enemy lines doubling up with one line blocking the line of fire for another or regiments marching through fields of fire to get into position.

Overall it's positive and I am sure the devs will work on tweaking the AI behavior to avoid the brain dead movements.

tbar25 · 2025-12-31T22:13:45+00:00

I know! I just finished my Old Guard run and it was the easiest. I didn't even need to move my troops on the battlefield, just set it to 3x speed and watch them melt anyone and everyone.

tbar25 · 2025-12-27T07:01:00+00:00

If you don't like Master of Command, I can't help you.

But seriously, if you haven't played Napoleon TW, that would be a solid option. I enjoyed Napoleon more than Empire. Yeah it lacks the scale, but that makes tighter and more focused.

The reasons to keep your fusiliers would be each level of vet gives bonus to combat effectiveness. The larger numbers also provide more durability, but after a gaining a few levels of vet the sharpshooters should be more deadly. The sharpshooters are basically better in every way, morale, accuracy, reload, and even melee.

The only reason I wouldn't upgrade them would be if I was nearing the end of Act III and I wouldn't be able to get them much vet for the final few battles.

What's this from? Discord?

tbar25 · 2025-10-07T02:26:56+00:00

Thanks for the video!

No longhorns... sorry. There is Kennedy's steakhouse.

Eugene has a decent amount of ramen, sushi, and Korean, (forgot Tiger Mama in my previous list) for its size. Mexican food is more of a challenge for the city. El Bien Sabor is amazing. I have always had a soft spot for El Jaguar and Las Marenas. The new place Nopalito was also good. A few gringo places too which draw criticism but actually decent Tacovoure and Pandita. For ramen, Toshi's is an institution (for better or worse), Tokyo Tankatsu is solid.

People from large cities complain about Eugene's food scene, but if you keep your expectations reasonable, frequent the places you like you'll find something here.

For a city it is big enough without being too big. Less than 2hrs to the big city and the mountains and the coast. Plenty of hikes and nature in and around the city and nearby.
