Theoretically this does already exist in AOE2, where in the custom lobbies players select the same player number/color and have total control of the same "player". The backstabbing aspect would be difficult, with lobbies limi

The primary point they are making is that the military is unlike a civilian job where you can quit and not show up tomorrow, the time remaining on your contract determines how long until your ETS date. If you get sick of the green weenie in

I also will be pleasantly surprised if AOE4's online multi is anywhere close to AOE2's scene. Definitely managing my expectations due to what I've seen graphically regarding the micro/non-intuitive unit design as well as

Maybe I should have said he sounded like a feudal lord, it doesn't matter to me. I wasn't diving into the circumstances, just the phrasing of that last sentence I quoted.

Not just useless, but a major PITA when the next inventory rolls around and you have to find the individual sub-components of that "tech" when no one has any idea of what it looks like because it's never been used and ultimat

It appears they know that; might just want to understand the scope of the data Matt provided and/or how in-depth the Automattic analytics are on self-hosted sites--which is something that I (as someone with a limited understanding of t

Exactly, a segment of social media users don't mind or are largely apathetic to the advertising/data collection because it keeps the platforms free--that's all that matters to them. The advertisers are effectively the custome

Agreed, it's definitely Apple taking a step in the direction toward features I miss about Android. Hope at one point they can behave like true widgets--really miss things like the Hue widget on my Galaxy allowing me to control preset l

I agree, I mixed up BoA with Goldman. Instead should have mentioned his investment in Goldman--not BoA--during the financial crisis, which he did counting on the bailout that was passed shortly after. I don't believe it's too much

Seeing as how Linux and Bash are 19 & 24 for the higher income nations and not included within the rest of the world list, would you also group sysadmin roles as a wealthier country function? I have a limited understanding of the two in
