This one is grand too. Because the faithful copy of the original? No, it's far from that, it's just original, unique, even tho it's just a cover.

>Tigray and Eritrea should be one country.
Eh, they have a pretty long separate history – Medri Bahri was established as one of the successor states, north of Mareb river, after dissolution of kingdom of Axum, & remained a separate state (apart for a short period when it was joined to the rest under Zara Yaqob) all the way until late 19th century (and soon later it was conquered by the Italians again to be separate until end of WW2)

Scratched the topic of what kinda forces are participating in the battles of Ethiopia's Tigray War, the magnitude of the fighting.
On eritreahub.org I found such snippets as:
February 11-15, 2021 [...] Ethiopia’s 11th division was “destroyed” and the 32nd division was “annihilated”.
June 17-19, 2021 [...] In one battle, 3,700 soldiers of the Ethiopian army’s 11th division engaged the rebels and after three days of fighting, 100 soldiers had been killed and 900 captured, including the government troops’ commanding officer.
June 28, 2021 [...] Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation of Boston, said that of 20 Ethiopian federal army divisions, “seven have been completely destroyed, three are in a shambles”.
A former head of the INSA, Ethiopia’s intelligence agency, said two thirds of Ethiopia’s forces, amounting to around seven divisions, had been killed, wounded or captured within one week of the start of “Operation Alula”.
July 16, 2021 [...] Three Ethiopian regions sent soldiers to reinforce the national military and Amhara’s troops in their fight against the Tigrayan rebels
July 19-23, 2021 [...] it was reported that the Ethiopian 23rd division had been destroyed, while the operational commander of the Ethiopian military’s Eastern Command, Colonel Awel Yassin, had been captured

Also it seems the participants has regular troops, and militias.

Two or three roads that lead into Tigray controlled area from Afar. Those could be easily closed down. I dunno if they have any reason to go into Afar, their target should be Addis Abeba. But in the place of Tigrayans I wouldn't rely on static defense towards them, but would try to move forward, and build up defensive positions behind as the front progress forward. So I would continuously put some pressure there, which would also occupy enemy forces, tie them down, and don't allow to regroup them on the front towards the capital.

Last time I heard Saudis lost space and control. Or something like that.

Govt. troops recovered two towns from Tigrayan forces.

It's just one bottle from a batch – that's why I'm thinking
>Maybe bottle wasn't sanitized well.
this is the most reasonable explanation.
Or something unwanted dropped into the bottle after sanitizing.

Really nice color it has.
Prost!

>I think both has sequels.

Yes, Hexen II and Heretic II. It is funny, because Hexen is actually Heretic II, and there must be single next game.

It is also worth to try both System Shocks too, and maybe look at Terminator FPS games of that era.

Oh dog. I did not hear good things about them. Did you have the luck to play 'em?

I've been paying Myth of Empires. It looked like a Chinese Mount and Blade Open world kind of game but really it's just a survival game with some Mount and blade like features that don't work well. Like combat, it's fairly strange with blocking hardly working, you can only command one soldier at the start and I think 3 or 5 maximum later on.

You start on a PvE world but then you can go to a PvP one so I did. I don't know... I thought to join a guild, they give you their discord and everybody communicates through that, I talked to some guy on it who had me do an interview, he said I was supposed to do a mic chat interview but I said I did not have one, I got in but the next day he was gone. I messaged his discord and asked him why he was gone and he said he just could not deal with the drama anymore, okay, I didn't know what to make of it. Very few people use the in game chat, occasionally they contact other clans but that is it, they rarely use or respond to guild chat. I think Discord kind of ruined that, people have their own networks they use instead of the central game network. But even then, they don't actually use the Discord text much, I thought that the whole guild was dead because almost nobody said anything in guild chat but one guy and people did not message in discord much. But then I had to use the voice chat function of Discord to get permission to delete my own structures and that is where I found them all, they were there and talking they just don't message in game and rarely on Discord. I kind of ignored the guild and did my own thing building my own house and not using the base but they were fine with that, though I still ended up helping them a lot by clearing iron mines of mobs and helping mine for them too, even if I would take a quarter or so for myself. We got raided a few times, they smashed outlying buildings and attacked farmers and players that were leaving bases and stuff, so I went to raid myself in turn. I'm not that high a level compared to this guild, I killed one of their NPCs but then got ganged up on by high level players and killed, I joked about it being unfair, they replied about it being war, I said I didn't care if I died I would be back muwhaha they said it was content, it was all fairly jovial. Then a few hours later they raid again using my raid as an excuse even though I had done next to nothing and they do much worse all the time and the whole guild(and server) goes spastic and says I didn't have permission to do that , I didn't ask to do that, they tell the other guild they are going to make it right and they kick me.

I don't know. It probably isn't really for me. It seems that 99% of the time you are in a PvP world you are not allowed to PvP, you may as well be in a PvE world at least you would not have to be a part of a guild that way. I'm not even sure about PvP in these kinds of game anyway, because it's all equipment and level dependent, not skill dependent plus they don't fight fair anyway. These higher level players would one shot me but even though they could do that they never fought one on one anyway. I mean I could do what they do and just find a lower level player and kill him but where is the fun in that? It's like killing slimes, they can't actually fight back, even if they did hit me they don't do anything, what's the point? It's not skill at all and all I am doing is being a tyrant. I think that sums up these kinds of games in general, it's just higher level players and bigger guilds being tyrants and stomping on lower level players and smaller guilds. There is no sportsmanship in this.

So I gave up on that and I am playing Hearts of Iron IV, there is a new DLC out focusing on the Balkans and it added railways and tanks designing too.
