It's probably sick. That's unfortunately pretty much the only time a wild animal will react like that. I suppose there is an outside chance it's domesticated and got out of its pen.

Horse archers are amazing lmao. If you're throwing them directly into the front lines they will be fucked several times over. Understand: they are merely archers that can quickly reposition. This makes them one of the best units in the game.

Deploy them to the far flank and reposition them frequently. They are excellent at drawing out the enemy cavalry so you can harass them, hit them with your own cav, etc. Big block of infanty? Harassing fire. Other horse archers? Wait for them to engage your footed archers and then deploy your horse archers to double up on them.

Their weakness, as you've noticed, is large blocks of powerful foot archers. That is what your cavalry or heavy infantry is for. Once your other forces engage, then deploy your horse archers. They're a reserve force and a force multiplier.

My tidbit to add is that when the Mongols got to Europe and encountered stone castles that were harder to siege, they solved the problem by bringing in seige engineers....from China.

They were doing that stuff on the reg. One of their demanded tributes was, essentially, skilled workers as slaves. They were very aware that they had a very particular skillset that didn't translate well to everything. So they took what they needed to run their empire and put it wherever it was needed - even if it was someone who knew how to e.g. do algebra.

This is why I'm convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.

Which other identifiers would you feel comfortable confirming? Is there a reason you think DoB is dangerous to share?

Ok, but that's unironically a great map for a TTRPG campaign.

I'm thinking Lovecraft. Plateau of Leng and all that. There's just this huge, impassable land that goes south for what seems like forever. And...things...occasionally wander out of it.

According to a random comment I saw once, these things will happily eat each other if there's no other bugs to eat. So basically yes.... unless your house has a continuous influx of new bugs.

Because anesthesia has a non-trivial chance of immediately killing you every time it's used. It's why major surgeries are always a last resort, and why minor surgeries use topical anesthesics instead of systemic (completely different drugs). It would be medical malpractice to use anesthesia for something that does not absolutely require it. No anesthesiologist would risk their liscense for it.

It is. In fairness, however, I will point out that at the time the Koran was written, most countries just exiled and/or massacred their religious minorities. Historically, it's actually somewhat progressive. Anyone still doing it in this day and age deserves to be critized, of course.

It says it right there: SUVs are less safe and more polluting. The entire city is impacted by that, so they're recouping some of the cost.

Suppressing repeated notifications has been a thing since messaging has been a thing. If your service doesn't offer it, find a better one. Also, this is a hypothetical, and a bad one. Why would you not simply read the texts?

Huh, so this + Human Era dating is now my new favorite calender (there's a sentence lol)
