moth is that adoption popup for valorous service in combat, si?

well, it comes more often when you lack a commander of the battle.  like exclusively so.  or when he eats dirt.

it happens more often when your family is ... stretched.  i think the game runs some kind of noble-per-settlement to get that.

finally, its not about killing scrubs.  its about one unit killing many foes, and perhaps doing statistically better than average at not dying to wounds. i dont know if they need to pass morale tests or anything as well, but they def need to be relatively intact and killy.


but ... ... why do you want a 40 year old with tier 1 traits when you could be getting 20 year olds with basic traits?

I've got 20 years old with 3 command, 1 chivalry, 4 loyalty, and 4 piety (I'm about MoTH). And while most of the adoption candidates in Med2 are good, in Rome 1 most of them are either filled with shitty traits, or have little to no traits. Real shame that I've never got any MoTH in Rome 1.

On a single website, a subcategory of pages on there keeps biging me a 'the connection was reset' error after loading for about a second.  Rest of the site is fine, but that one section keeps having it come up.  Even stranger, I am able to access it via my phone, it is only my computer that is having issues, and even then, only on that one subsection.

So I finally figured out how to add mods to OpenXCOM - adding them to the game folder directly.

However, I'm having a big problem with the "Uniform Armors" mod, which is essentially a step between Coveralls and Personal armor.

Most mods have all their proper assets in pretty little folders.

This one, however, has a ruleset for each individual armor, and appears to have two sets of resources for each set of armor...

I'm completely lost on how to install it.

Now what do I do?

EDIT:

Other WTF - My iPhone's screen protector now has two scratches on it and one chipped corner. I honestly don't know how those got there. They arent' large scratches, mind, but they still give me the sinking feeling that I've been doing something Very Wrong (TM) with my cell phone...

So I was returning from school on a bike and I recently repaired the brakes.

In the rush of biking enthusiasm I forgot why you should never brake fully with your front brake.
Basically, I tried to cross a busy road and because I wasnīt used to the now 120% strong brake, I did a front flip.

Now I do not remember how I exactly landed perfectly with my feet on the ground but my bike finished the front flip without me.
 
Fine, I go to pickup the bike but... the back wheel is jammed.. somehow into the chassis... now I canīt finish the trip anymore in this state of bike...

Fine I take the jammed bike on a crowded bus.. end of the story.

Sooo, I found a picture of a construction site in my English coursebook. That's pretty normal, but there is a man with his butt hanging out on top off the scaffolds, and that's a bit unusual. Is this the way of the English construction worker?
I'll put up a picture if I can get my sister to photo it.

There is an Absolutely Fabulous marathon on the television. Marvellous, I am quids in tonight!

The 'what the fuck' in this contribution being the fact that I am so terribly excited for it. Still, excellent that they managed to slot something exciting in between all those cake-baking, house renovating, obese people penalising programs.

It's one of the public emergency drills that the UK started doing every 1st of the month to prepare their citizens for the Brexit. This one is called 'What To Do When The Shit Hits The Fan'. The angle of your picture is probably just not right, or you would have spotted the big fan below the man's arse, down on ground level.

The "Builders's Crack" is a well known phenomenon in the UK. Not pleasant sure but it happens.

Known as plumber's butt in the US, very well-known here as well. I am also a victim of it as I cannot get pants that stay up.

I thought plumbers crack was when they were bending over to fix the toilet or something.

The crack does not need an occasion to exist.  It exists because it can.

Crack is sometimes just crack

Unintentionally exposed arsecrack from anyone is known as "builder's bum" in England, it is a very common feature of the English construction worker
