Yeah very true. So what I have read doesnt really conflict with what you are saying here, but its stuff like the average wages going down in the last 15 years (after the Hartz), and with no minimum income (and weak unions to establish collective bargaining agreements), many sectors have terrible wages and thus forces people to work more than one job. Im sure its even worse in other countries. But the media - at least here in Norway - portrays Germany is a kind of success story when it comes to the handling of the crisis - which I guess is true compared to most countries - but still doesnt change the fact, as you also wrote, that poverty is sharply increasing. Anyways, this is a huge derail, but its interesting nevertheless.

We are so rarely on topic here, it doesnt hurt to discuss some actually interesting things =p

Off-tv on Gamepad. Dual screen with EU IV. Bliss.

Ok, I have never done this before, but definitely sounds like something I should consider!

Btw, just to keep this of topic, what would you guys like to see in the direct? I am so ready for a new F-Zero!

I wish the map could somehow display player countries' vassals.

Kabouter's enormous growth is sort of under communicated on the map.

...I have one small vassal
You got a union with a country that has like 130 base tax or something ridiculous.

Also, I don't think anyone has ever called my growth enormous.

Btw, think I could use this to stream Bayern Roma as well? Would suck to miss that game.

Woopwoop, on free tv here. Hoping its another bashing =p

Really curious whether that 7:1 was a freak accident or not. I mean its unlikely to be THAT high again, but 3:0 or something would still paint a pretty clear picture.

I assume you are Roma fan? I apologize in advance for Bayern hurting your feels tonight :D

Fuck you!

Anyways, Roma has a decent first-team, but have no depth, which was very clear in that last match. Also, you can just compare the budget of the two teams, and you will see that it explains quite a bit of the difference between them - and Bayern even bougth Romas best player of last year this summer in Beneatia. A point for Roma would be a huge surprise - but then again, I dont really expect another bashing either. 3-0 sounds like a very probable result imo.

Yeah, thats the way life and soccer goes. I am a Bayern fan, but still miffed that Dortmund gets bought out on every occasion. I mean its not only Bayern doing that and in the end if they dont snatch up a player (like Götze or Lewandowski) someone else will do so, but its really only a few big teams who grab all the excellent players. A bit more diversity would be lovely.

But oh well, on to some roman butt kicking :p

Definitely agree. I would love to see more teams be on an more or less equal footing. But then again, it makes it extra impressive when teams like Dortmund, Roma, Atletico or Liverpool actually manages to be decently competitive, so I guess there is that too.

But yeah - looking forward to tonight - and maybe its for the best that I wont be able to see the match :)

Roma lost the league last Saturday. They need a result tonight. As do I.

I dont think Roma ever had a real chance. They had a better team last year, and while Juve might not be as good as last year either with Conte gone, they still have two first teams of players that more or less all would play regularly for Roma. Unfortunately, Juve has more or less the same position in Italy as Bayern in Germany, and Roma in particular can not and never have really been able to compete with the big clubs with tons of capital from Fiat (Juve), Mediaset (AC Milan) and Saras (Inter).

Todays team:

ROMA (4-3-3): Skorupski; Torosidis, Manolas, Mapou, Cholevas; Keita, De Rossi, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Destro, Iturbe

No Pjanic - no magic
No Gervinho - no goals
and most importantly:

No Totti - no party!

Bayern has this.

I honestly think they have a decent chance if Strootman can stay fit
at Roma
for a longer period. You're absolutely right about squad depth and the financial situation, but if Roma can continue to challenge for the title and progress from the CL group stages they'll eventually attract a sponsor comparable to the Milan teams.

I dont know, they have three scudetti in their history, and while they have been competitive for some parts of their history, they have never been able to take that extra step up, which is probably linked to the diffusion of wealth and capital in italian society with a very rich north and a much less so central- and southern part.

Sounds...interesting? Got my Vita this week btw - but havent been able to play anything on it yet. Looking forward to Gravity Rush!

Gravity Rush is garbage, sorry, but you should play Tearaway!

I think my Vita has been used 90% for Spelunky though, so I don't really know everything about the library :)

Fuck - that was the game i was most looking forward to :( Tearaway looks like your typical Sony-game - great presentation and mediocre gameplay. I do have it though, so guess I might test it.

Improve your relationship with the Emirates. They don't care about those labels.

Lol, they was actually just bougth by an american consortium a few summers ago - maybe that will help them. At least the Sensi-family was more or less bankrupt, so nice with some new owners.

Anyways, great session for the peaceful mameluk. Got two new vassals in Yemen and one of the bedouin states in Arabia, conquered Corfu and three provinces from my nubian neighbour in the south (dont remember the name of it).

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Bavaria AAR
01/11/1457 - 04/08/1468

Summary:

Really feeling the weight of the Austria rivalry, as I needed to ally them so they wouldn't hit me with Unlawful Territory. I should've waited 3 more years before going to war, but I was impatient and now I'm paying the price.

-25 with everyone for annexing Wurzburg
-27 with Austria for taking Ulm
Give up Ulm to prevent another -25
Coalition of Wurttenburg, Mainz, and Thuringia

If I so much as twitch, I'm going to have a coalition war on my hands. This is fucking impossible. I'm done with HRE indefinitely until they revamp the entire system for minor powers.

Provinces Gained: Ansbach
Vassals Annexed: Wurzburg (Wurzburg, Bamberg)

If you or the emperor are at war while coring the province, you shouldn't get unlawful territory (I have no idea if this is still true in 1.8).
