the second-angriest i've ever seen a polish person get is when i accidentally called poland eastern european instead of central. the angriest is when he started complaining about immigration and "krakowstan" and i asked him to say the shahada with me

How is Mongolia's conversion from Cyrillic going anyway?

quote:

In March 2020, the Mongolian government announced plans to use both Cyrillic and the traditional Mongolian script in official documents by 2025.

switching to native script has gotta be absolutely daunting, mostly due to what i assume is little to no digitization

yeah when i saw the monuments being toppled i thought we were in the "tear down and replace street signs" phase of collective punishment, but frankly combined with the equivalent of ESL classes that's basically american curriculum

Bananas have a distinct flavour, although it's also worth noting that the artificial banana flavour in candies etc. is based on a cultivar that got killed by Panama disease in the 1960's, so it's nothing like our current Cavendish.

Now if it was potato flavour...

i was aware of the gros michel but didn't know it was used in runts' awful banana candy. lol i'm glad they're all dead

I realise it's a shitpost, but that's a loaded can of worms right there when there is the faintest hint of ethnic or religious tension.

would that have the same public conflict as a black man refusing to carry the groceries of a white woman in the 50s south?

Check out https://h3hota.com/en/documentation (which includes https://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/ by the way). I highly recommend it, over whatever was the recent remaster - this is going to be both better “HD”, after you tinker to your liking with new graphics settings, and will have quite a few balance and bug fixes. It’s also the edition of the game played currently only and in tournaments. I suggest installing it over https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition - this gets you all campaigns, and everything of all worlds basically.

If you check HotA documentation, you’ll see random templates mentioned - multiplayer happens on randomly generated (to a specific pattern) maps. Quite a bit of those will be really hard for someone who’s not spent time learning how to chain heroes and win fights at a severe army disadvantage (on template maps, roads have numbers indicating guard strength, and guard strength above 10 is probably going to eat any recreational player alive on a non-rich template).

Here are some default HotA templates that should be interesting enough for a single player game:
  • Simpler - 8mm6a, 8xm12a, Spider, Clash of Dragons, Boomerang, Nine-Day Wonder
  • More involved - h3dm1, 6lm10a, Mini Nostalgia, Diamond, Apocalypse
Do keep in mind that AI is not particularly good at playing those out, but I think it’s still a good bit of fun. In multiplayer, Jebus Cross is by far the most popular template, but it’s randomisation pattern can make it so difficult that pro players will every now and then fail to exit their starting zone in a live tournament match. Even with favourable RNG, you still need to have quite a few multiplayer-specific skills to get anywhere there, and AI is unable to play it at all.

there's another install over the most recent version? what's hota? i understand random maps, but what are specific pattern random maps? i played a random map once that had no nearby lumber or stone, or one or the other? do you just restart at that point or keep going? do you really tailor down logistics (or ban the heroes) speed to the point in order to chain heroes/new week refreshes? what is guard strength ten? oh no i'm a noob
