IDK. I skipped horse archers in my latest dark elves playthrough of total war warhammer 3, because they are so trash. No shields + large targets means they die really easy to missile fire, And since you can't use a longbow on horseback they lack the range to engage other archer units without taking a few volleys first.

Basically they are only good for fighting factions like undead that that have no ranged units.

Nobody who kills innocents is good

Ah yes the classic solution to the trolly problem where you stand on the side of the track and tell everyone you are morally superior to people who want to pull the leaver.

Games made in the early 90’s were made for cartridges and floppy disks with limited memory and couldn't contain a lot of content so difficulty was used to increase playtime.

Many were not used by the military

Why on earth would civilians be using encrypted military grade pagers purchased by a terror organization for exclusive use by it's members?

Would you like to answer the question and tell me exactly why you think no Israeli has ever been charged with genocide in the entire 75 years since palestine first claimed genocide during the nakba?

Or would answering that question that reveal too much about your ideology?

Encrypted communications equipment purchased for military use are not ordinary devices, and under international law if a device is used for military transmissions it is a valid target and can be attacked.

If there was really genocide then why has it never been proven in a court of law?

70% of aid sent to gaza is taken by hamas and used to buy weapons.

Palestinians have been claiming israel has been committing genocide ever since the KGB wrote the PLO charter in moscow in 1967.

As of this date no Israeli has ever been charged with committing genocide in a court of law.

Do you really think the klepto fascist billionaire dictators that rule palestine are not using the same tactics as Putin?

Back when Putin was the head of the KGB, the current president of palestine attended a KGB run university in moscow where he was hand selected by the chief of the soviet active measures program to lead the PLO. His doctorial dissertation was about how he thought jews faked the holocaust in order to build international support for israel.

He literally studied how to fake genocide against your own people at KGB school.

Aye. Like all design paradigms, there are places where they can be useful or can be used to achieve a certain feel.

I actually hate "choose from a menu combat" but have thought of a few cases where it would make sense - for example a Legend of Galactic Heroes style space warfare game based on hyper-realistic combat between massive fleets of 20,000+ ships each, which according to lore, line up in nice neat firing lines and shoot at each other for 12+ hours until one side has won via attrition. There is no way to simulate that in real time and be fun, and the ranges at which combat happens in deep space means that there is basically literally no room for maneuvering once the battle has began...

This is actually a few different design paradigms you are talking about.

The first is the exploration map transitioning into a battle map during encounters. The second is randomly spawning encounters. The third is forcing players to fight those encounters. Games like Zelda 2 had a exploration map transition into a battlemap, but the encounters are visible on the exploration map and could be avoided if you want so they were never forced or random. On the other hand games like Shining in the Darkness had exploration and battle on the same map; there was no transitions and the view perspective did not change, the game just randomly forced you to fight encounters while you walked around. Then you have something like Vermintide 2 which is a realtime first person action rpg/shooter where random monsters are spawned in at random times on random places on the map to attack you, but the monsters only spawn out of sight in places you are not looking at, and you are not forced to fight them.

IMO battle transitions and forced encounters are outdated mechanics designed around the technical limitations of 8 bit era systems, while random encounters are a great way to improve exploration and overall replay value of a game.

Do you believe Putin when he claims Ukraine is committing genocide against Russia in the Donbas region, or are you aware that fascist regimes are liars and routinely accuse their opponents of genocide?

It is Alexander Dugin's red-brown-green alliance.

Far left tankie red fascists, christian nationalist brownshirt fascists, and islamo-fascists, joined together to destroy 'liberalism'.

Honest question : do you also stand up for the white people who are victims of white genocide being conducted by zionists in america?

Do you believe former Republican state representative and KKK grand wizard David Duke when he claims White America is being genocided just like the Palestinians?

Or can you only see through fascist bullshit when it's conservative christian americans spouting the lies?

So we should distrust hamas on this but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?

"disproportionate slaughter of civilians" = outright lie

The statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated since it became known that hamas was counting all teenagers as innocent children even if they were 19 years old and active members of hamas.

To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

ACCORDING THE HAMAS'S OFFICIAL TELEGRAM CHANNEL BUT SURE IGNORE EVIDENCE SO YOU CAN CLING TO YOUR NARRITIVE

Jews did not have equal rights in the Jerusalem Sanjak until the Ottoman Reform Edict of 1856.

Before that you had things like the 1847 ethnic cleansing of Jews in Jerusalem, or the 1834 looting of Safed.

Do you believe Putin when he says ukraine is committing geoncide against Russians in the donbas?

if not, then I'm not sure why you would believe hamas when they claim that israel is committing genocide against palestinians in gaza.

There is zero logical reason to treat Russia and Palestine differently.
