Welp.

My first seige, starting at 4 enemies, was nothing.

I have not significantly improved my military, and have just faced a 60-odd goblin seige, sustaining 20 casualties. These dwarves died because I forgot which lever was which. Let this be a lesson to you.

And the lesson is, use "N: Points/Routes/Notes" to label each of your levers.

Fan-translated (or even officially translated) stories are always a bit of a crapshoot, because you are wagering on not only the author's skill as a writer, but the translator's skill as a writer as well. I can think of several examples where excellent stories in their native language have been turned into absolute garbage due to bad translation.

This is older than the war on drugs. Even slavery in prisons is explicitly allowed in the US constitution.

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

This is the problem, though most actually good people I know of say that's not true outside the highest levels.

I know how to play chess and I have a basic grasp of tactics, it's just the sheer volume of information you need to know.  It's like, getting into starcraft is hard now cause the game's matured for like 15 years and best moves for most situations have been mapped out and if you don't know them you'll get rekt.

Chess is like that but it's matured for hundreds of years.

This is pretty true. I can generally beat my brother handily at any given strategy/tactics computer game, assuming it's balanced (Hun rush opplsnerf). In chess, I'll lose every time and he won't even break a sweat; because he actually cares about chess and has memorised openings and stuff, while I care more about the other games and know the meta.

I feel like it's hardly even a game anymore, once people start metagaming on that level. If the majority of players are just running memorized strategies by rote, what have they really got there? It speaks of a love of winning, rather than a love of the game.
