There was a moment in a Hoi4 episode where Braun, in response to someone who was complaining about whatever Braun was saying, said "Oh yap yap." and Bokoen told him "You're yapping yourself motherfucker!"

So, there's been a few events or apparent controversies I've heard about in the JP horse racing scene from the Umamusume grape vine, such as Deep Impact getting disqualified in the 2006 L'arc, apparently due to a medication in his system, Sakura Star O's injury in the 1987 and attempted, unsuccessful prolonged treatment afterwards, Sirius Symboli getting mistreated by the Symboli ranch, Rice Shower getting negative press after his Kikuka Sho and Tenno Sho Spring victories, Mayano Top Gun's jockey getting suspended from racing due to numerous arrests among other things (Seiki Tabara correct?), Gentildonna's win at the 2012 Japan Cup against Orfevre, people slandering Contrail etc.

Using those examples, what are some other events, controversies or other things such as years long arguments occurring in the scene that are interesting to know?

I remember a space battle in Empire at War where Bo and his opponent (either Braun or Cho King) were being completely silent, and one of the players said something like "You know Bo is tryharding when he's not saying anything." Then Bo said "X isn't saying anything either!"

So, this is a question asked by someone who has basically no idea of digital distribution, streaming services, or how Japanese companies work in general, but if some studios seem really intent on being against piracy, why don't they have their own streaming service which exclusively holds their content, so for example, MAPPA having their own streaming service with Attack on Titan and One Punch Man, or for a bigger entity like Kadokawa, having a streaming service with Konosuba and Re:Zero (among many others) and basically nowhere else?
In my mind this would circumvent the issue with streaming services randomly removing content from their page, and it would serve as a direct link to both the creators, their content and the audience, so it's more stable on the kinds of content available, more accessible for fans, and would directly benefit the company behind the production/publishing.

I suppose then that asks 'why doesn't every studio everywhere do this system' and yeah I don't really know so I have to rely on someone more knowledgeable to fill in.
I feel like a lot of people pirate because the ways to access the media are not accessible or too inconvenient, and while my idea might 'solve' the accessibility problem, depending on how expensive each streaming service is, it might just make everything too expensive and inconvenient for people to really get any perks out of it if they have to make accounts and pay for each monthly subscription.

If anyone is actually able to point out the flaws with this idea, please let me know

Wanted to play the Khwarazmian Empire in Late era but am worried about getting wrecked, because in all honesty I don't think I've ever really fought the Mongols in base Medieval 2.

I remember Legend of Total War's series where he mostly kept the Mongols at bay by building forts and sticking a unit peasants in them and until he was actually ready to fight them. Then doing so by sieging the forts and shooting the Mongols while they're stuck in there

Is there anything else I should consider doing?

With M2EX coming out I wanted to play Medieval 2 again, but I know from playing Wales and Ireland in that campaign that England is pretty difficult to play despite being the 'strongest', because everyone hates you and the Baron's Alliance pretty much puts the player in stasis as they try to reclaim lost territory, but I know Richard the Lionheart comes back with that Crusader Army.

I feel like the best plan is to blitz Wales first? Just get rid of one big enemy before it becomes too much, and retreat my forces from Ireland and deal with them later since they'll need a navy to get to me? Could I just raze my Irish territories by demolishing all the buildings, then give them to Ireland for peace in a diplomacy deal as well?

Anything else I should consider?

So I have the OG Rome 1 already, buying it before Remastered came out, how 'substantial' of an upgrade is Remastered? What does it add to the Original game, such as quality of life features? I remember seeing range indicators in some gameplay footage, also, what kind of mods are available for Remastered, and would those mods be worth getting Remastered for and missing out on some of the old mods for the Original version?

So I'm trying to invite a moderator on (not the head mod but got permission to do so), but whenever I try, whether on mobile, regular tabs or an incognito tab, I keep getting the same error, 'Something Went Wrong: Undefined'

What's wrong? What can I do to fix it?

(Desktop) So I tried inviting someone to be a moderator but received the message 'Something went wrong: Undefined' when doing so, I even attempted to go on an incognito tab to see if it was something wrong with the cookies, but I still received the same error.

What could be causing the issue?

Are there any characters, interactions or moments in-game which you think should be expanded upon more? Such as with more dialogues, miniquests or special interactions?

For me, I think the Astronomers should've been more present in the game, by which I mean, have more interactions with Sam and the world, for now, they mostly serve as lore dumps and giving the ritual items to them, maybe it's just me but I didn't really 'buy' the bond Sam and the Astronomers have that's referenced on the Rooftop and when they become the Exalted four
If I were to offer a suggestion, have the Astronomers assist Sam in some way, Aster I think is good because he can join Sam as a companion, while Beryl, Jasper and Aurelius could assist indirectly, like, how in Teeth Hell Benjamin can help the player by doing damage to enemies but sparing the player every turn if they were good play buddies to him, the Astronomers could do something similar in their respective levels, like Jasper helping out in the fight against the Bus monsters, or Beryl helping in the Parking Garage. Maybe one of them could be a temporary companion like Ernest.

What do you guys think? Is there something else you wish was expanded on?
