No, only the original game with the latest update that included dual-wielding and strongholds (as far as I know, they were not there at the start). I might try the expansion later, as I have it on GOG.

That is obviously doomposting. The situation isn't that bad, though it is bad. Ukraine clearly isn't going to accept just any old deal just from the events of the last few days even if they've shifted significantly in terms of what they will accept over the last few months. Europe also clearly doesn't really care that much about the current corruption scandal given who they just welcomed with open arms- Yermak, probably the second most important guy who has been implicated; and the chief negotiator with Rubio and the Euros. Which, one suspects, was Zelensky calling their bluff as much as anything, making sure there's lots of footage of Euro politicos shaking hands with him in case of more pressure to sack him. The collapses are strictly localised, at the moment. The problem is that while Ukraine can still stop the really critical ones they just shift elsewhere, which then eventually become critical themselves, and the timeframe for the collapses is accelerating. They are at real risk of losing three very important towns inside a month which hasn't happened since the start of the war; one of which people would have thought you mad suggesting it was in play a month ago (Huliapole; for all that people make fun of Russia not learning you'd think Ukraine would have some defences facing north for a major defensive city after 40 months...). The desertions are a big problem though, that isn't overstated. Getting actual figures is difficult, since there are at least three classifications for desertion adjacent absence from service (~awol, 'missing*', and criminal desertion) and the whole thing is highly politicised. Best estimate seems to be at least a 5 figure number deserting every month and something like a quarter of a million total. The interesting recruitment method videos are also so ubiquitous now that only the most die hard of Ukraine supporters think they're just Russian propaganda. *though more usually that's dead rather than deserted, and used to avoid paying widow pensions/ compensation it's also for those who desert under combat conditions or surrender without a fight and don't want to register with the RC for fear they'll be traded back.

I do wonder. In the beginning I would 100% agree, they showed the total disarray of Russian troops and how unprepared they were for a land war. Now at this point, they have veteran troops and have probably patched any holes they had in their logistics. Now the best they can hope is that Russia really is in war economy and that they cannot recover from it. But then again, I am not too sure how much of good outcome that is, because if they can't recover they probably will start another war.

I haven't seen any comments here on these two new sci-fi RPGs, The Expanse and Exodus, so I figured I'd post. I've never played a sci-fi RPG, but am intrigued by these games. Looking forward to comments from those of you who are big into sci-fi RPGs:

Well not sure the front is collapsing, but Ukraine's on the backfoot now and has been for some time. They have troop shortages and that's making things worse as people on the front are going to break. Russia's not stellar by comparison, but this a rate fight, so to speak. Quite true.

All for none seems bugged. Go out with a bang is for sure bugged. I have unlocked: Ad Hominem Homicide

Well, all of this seems moot now, because apparently yesterday in Geneva very good progress was made on amending the document on all points, such that everyone--the US, the Europeans, and most importantly the Ukrainians--are now satisfied and on the same page. It seems that the Ukrainians are willing to accept the painful territorial concessions, just as I expected and predicted, in exchange for very strong security guarantees, protection of their sovereignty, and a good reconstruction plan. But that is all the more reason to expect that Putin will very likely reject it. It will at least serve to put more pressure on the Russians, though, and hopefully also will re-isolate them internationally if we can get other major states around the world to accept the modified plan as a good plan that is reasonable and fair to both sides.

Did you play with the expansion included?

From where do you get that information?

in my experience this would completely be the reason why. I've had almost no problem (on the hanging side of things) since I started doing the above. Else I very much keep on experiencing a lot of the problems described by OP

High lore + high ACC + scrolls of Paralysis, Confusion and Maelstrom. End.

Ukraine is over, they will accept any plan at this point, front is collapsing, soldiers are deserting at mass and latest corruption scandal will deal final blow to EU support. Better to accept whatever they can get now than later

I have finished Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness. It is a party-based CRPG with RTwP combat in a fantasy setting. While the writing is uneven and the combat is simple (not based on an existing system), there is enough roleplay, QoL features, and some interesting gameplay systems to make the experience enjoyable. There is also delightfully little bloat allowing for a completionist playthrough of a reasonable length of 30-40 hours. The review which was longer than the character limit on Steam and GOG (there are no spoilers but it is long) :

hello everyone..!

let not pretend eu care about ukraine or the baltic state they care as much as uk and france care about poland and czech during ww2 ukraine already served their purpose better than most expected

rotten carcass of usa federal goverment are dismembered much further in the last year so oligarch got what they wanted sadly what people wanted was rarely what they needed even oligarch are people in this aspect

I wondered if it would be something like that, This may be why I don't experience it as much as others, I don't always sneak/enter combat and I often use Alt to manually unseak before taking turns.

Yes, and then they dismantled the agencies that had dirt on Musk and were about to get him for it.

No it had stated goals that were basically about reducing Federal expenditure that was considered wasteful and unnecessary And Musk was brought in because he claimed this would be " easy " Musk made a unexpected mistake of assuming public sector restructuring is the same as private sector restructuring which he had successfully done within his own companies But DOGE had an understandable objective. There are lots of Americans who think the Federal government is bloated and ineffective They just went about it a completely heavy handed and unsustainable way Im not sure why you think it was about Musk's enemies?
