Icarus and apollo story4/1/2024 Wow! It was amazing! His father turned round and called, "Icarus, take care!" and for a while after that Icarus obeyed his father, and flapped along behind him. He began to swoop up and down with the sea gulls. In fact, it was the most tremendous fun you could ever have. Over the seas they sailed, and at first Icarus felt frightened for he had never ventured very far in his practice flights, but soon he found that he was really good at flying. Who could have believed that a mortal father and son had mastered the art of flight? No doubt he would have thought that they had caught sight of two winged gods. If a fisherman or a shepherd had looked up just then, he would have seen two very unusual birds hovering above the waves. Then Daedalus led his son up onto the battlements of the tower, and like a bird leading her fledglings from the nest for the first time, he jumped into mid air and flapped his wings, Icarus followed soon after. Little Icarus nodded to show his father that he had understood. Have you understood all that I have said?" Nor should you fly too high, or the sun will heat the wax and your wings will fall apart. Do not fly too low or your wings will fill with moisture from the waves, and if they will become too heavy you will sink down. Do not veer off on a different flight path, or you will soon be lost. At all times follow me, for I will find the way home. Listen to my instructions and be sure to follow them to the letter. Although you are now quite good at flying, you must not forget that it can be very dangerous. Then one morning Daedalus said to Icarus, "Now Son, we are ready to leave this island for good. ![]() Over the next few days, father and son both practised with them until little Icarus was almost as good at flying as his father was. Icarus laughed with delight and could not wait to try out the smaller pair of wings. He fastened the larger pair to his arms, and began to flap them until his feet took off from the floor and he began to hover in mid air. He had made the feathers into two pairs of wings. When Daedalus had finished, he showed Icarus his work. ![]() While he was working, Icarus played with the wax, squashing it between his finger and thumb, and when the feathers blew away in the breeze he ran after them and caught them. ![]() He then began to stick the feathers together with thread in the middle and wax at the base. Here he arranged them into four lines, starting with the smallest feathers, and followed those with the longer ones so that they formed gentle curves. When these were brought to him, he took them up onto the roof of the tower. He told King Minos that he needed feathers and wax for a new invention that he was working on. He thought for a long time about the best way to escape, and finally he came up with a plan, and this is what he did. His son hardly remembered his home city, but he too wanted to leave because he longed to run and play in the open, rather than live in a tower all day.ĭaedalus looked out over the waves of the Mediterranean Sea, and he realised that even if they could manage to slip out of the tower and find a little boat, they wouldn’t be able to sail very far before they were spotted and caught by one of the ships of King Minos’ navy. Daedalus lived with his son Icarus in a tower of the palace, and King Minos made him invent weapons of war that would make his army and navy even more powerful than they already were.Īlthough Daedalus and Icarus had every comfort they could ask for, the father longed to return home to Athens. Well, you may remember that the Labyrinth was created by the cunning and ingenious mind of Daedalus.ĭaedalus was a brilliant architect and inventor – in fact, he was so brilliant that King Minos of Crete did not want to let him go back to his home in Athens. This strange and terrible beast lived in a deep, dark Labyrinth on the island of Crete. I’ve told you before about the half man-half half-bull called the Minotaur. Proofread by Claire Deakin, December 2013. Some of the touching details - such as Icarus playing with the feathers - come from the Latin poet, Ovid. We hear how he and his son Icarus tried to escape from Crete with wings made of feathers and wax. It continues the story of Daedalus, whom we first met in The Minotaur. interviews with friends D.The myth from ancient Greece of the boy who flew too close to the sun. ![]() Trending Questions Which three characters in the odyssey anger Odysseus?

Farming simulator 19 horse car mods4/1/2024 ![]() Name: A horse is initially given a unique name randomly selected from a list of possible names.These will change over time, depending on how you treat the horse. When a horse is first purchased, its stats are set to specific amounts. This value depends on the horse's Fitness and Health, and is very slightly influenced by its Cleanliness. Sale Value: How much money you'll get for selling the horse.This decreases constantly whenever the horse is ridden, and can be restored to 100% very quickly by simply clicking several times on a dirty horse. This increases and decreases every hour based on the materials available to that horse in its Horse Paddock. Health: The relative health of the horse.This increases and decreases every midnight depending on the amount of time that horse has been ridden during the previous 24 hours. Fitness: The amount of exercise a horse has received.Allows you to track which horse is where, and to find the right horse to train. The goal of Horse Husbandry is to raise a horse's value above its initial purchase price (ideally to the maximum possible value), and then sell the horse for cash.Įach Horse has five stats which are tracked for that individual horse on the Animal Overview menu. Each horse has its own stats, and these stats influence the horse's value. Unlike other animals, each Horse is an independent instance even when put in the same Horse Paddock as other horses. If you do not own such a Paddock, you will only be able to purchase other animals. You must select an existing Horse Paddock in order to purchase Horses. This will only work if you own at least one Animal Pen, otherwise the menu will not work.Īfter pressing the button, if you have more than one Animal Pen, you'll be asked which pen you'd like to populate. To purchase Horses, visit the Animal Dealer and interact with its sale point Open Animal Dialogue Default Buttons: R ?. Once the Horse Paddock is placed on the map, you can begin to fill it with Horses and their required materials. The only real difference between them is their capacity (the number of horses they can hold), and their physical size. The base game provides two different models of Paddocks. This is a Placeable that can be placed on any sufficiently-large open space (no obstacles). Horse Paddock Main article: Horse Paddock (Farming Simulator 19)īefore purchasing any Horses, you must purchase at least one Horse Paddock from the Store. All types of horses function identically, regardless of color. The base game provides 8 different types of horses, each in a different color. For maximum improvement, you must provide both Hay and Oats, and each horse must be ridden for at least 5 minutes per in-game day. However, this fast improvement rate requires a lot of effort in the form of riding the horses around. This is a huge profit for any animal, making horses extremely lucrative. Giving proper care to a horse will raise its sale price by nearly $5,000 per day, and will eventually raise the horse's value to a maximum of $50,000 (not including transportation fees). Cleanliness only decreases while a horse is being ridden, and can easily be restored by clicking on a dirty horse several times. If the horses are not provided one of the required materials, they lose Health every hour. A Horse that is not ridden for at least 1 minute a day will instead lose Fitness. Each horse must then be ridden for at least 1 real-time minute per in-game day to improve its Fitness at midnight. To increase Fitness, the Paddock must first be stocked with Water, Straw, and either Hay or Oats. Health and Cleanliness start at 100% for a newly-purchased horse, while Fitness starts at 5% - giving a new horse an initial sale value of $2,976. ![]() The horse's sale value depends primarily on the first two stats. The smallest Horse Paddock available in the base game costs $50,000, and can hold up to 8 Horses.Įach horse has a randomly-generated name that can be changed at will, as well as three stats that are tracked separately for that horse: "Fitness", "Health" and "Cleanliness", each of which is a percentage value (going from 0% to 100%). Horses are the most expensive animals in the game, costing $5,000 apiece (not including transportation fees). Horses do not produce any material, nor do they breed - but their sale value can be massively increased with the help of some basic materials and substantial effort. Horses are a new type of Animal in Farming Simulator 19.

Total war rome 2 faction guide3/31/2024 ![]() Their use is only limited by your cunning. If a general/king comes out of a settlement to kill the attackers, a horde of horse archers can quickly dispose of them, especially if something blocks the general/king, like a mercenary hoplite. The targeted unit can dodge the missiles with good micro, or the circling special ability, while the rest pepper the stationary archer unit. Even small numbers of archers on the walls are not always to be feared, if the stack of horse archers is considerable. This is the means by which to safely inflict a tremendous amount of casualties with basic horse archers. Of course recruiting them in a settlement in a high warfare region means they can be kept there for any close battles, but there are better garrison troops for the Scythians as will be explained later.įor wooden walls or an unprotected part of a wall (or if the towers are destroyed by onagers), the horse archers can also be moved up to them and shoot over, attacking those hiding inside. I would not keep them for garrisons, because they are put to far better use out there, raiding and conquering. Their upkeep is low at 110, but their cost to recruit is not marginal. After all, in a large battle there are always more enemies to shoot. That way, you kill them quickly and you save as many arrows as possible. So you want to take your horse archers behind the enemy whenever you can. Flanking is also good, but your attacks will be a bit weaker if you attack the side with the shield. If you shoot from behind, they will die like flies, and armour does very little with defence or shield. If you shoot from the non shield side, the shield bonus is removed. If you attack from the front, your ranged attack must defeat the whole defensive score. ![]() Yes, the Scythians can be delayed with disco. If they dance around they are a bit safer. If they are retreating or charging in a straight line, they are toast. The accuracy is sometimes a bit off, and is dependant on how the opponent is moving. Now also importantly on horse archers, they can shoot while running away, slowly retreating or swinging off to the side. While defence heavy units can stop many of your arrows, you have the speed to get into a great position to shoot them in the back of the head, and run off if they give chase. You can shoot for many minutes before you run dry. Far more than the bow cavalry in Shogun 2 for instance. These horse archers carry a lot of arrows. What is important is the fast movement, the decent ranged attack and what is left unsaid. On the stats they appear weak, and they don’t like melee combat, but can rear charge cavalry just fine (press down ALT to send them into melee before their arrows are exhausted). If bread chased down your enemies and shot them in the back of the head, and brought their bodies back as an offering to onii-chan. Scythian horse archers, this is your bread and butter. Scythian Horse Archers (and on Horse Archers Generally) I will also be providing links to excellent resources that helped me take off, as I bring together into a guide what I have learned and what has been already found on this most unusual cavalry faction-Scythia. First we will discuss the Scythian units, then the initial campaign setup, then advice on how to conquer and where to attack first. So I want to share what I found, through this guide on playing the Scythians in the imperial campaign. To enable Scythia, follow the instructions here: ![]() Under your leadership it can charge to greatness, and I assure you, if you listen to my advice for playing this challenging faction, you can have a great time returning to this old gem of a game, and conquering with an overlooked faction. It doesn’t march like many of the infantry heavy factions of Rome: Total War, it rides. Why is this here? Simply, in returning to the game I found that a previously overlooked faction has real promise and is very enjoyable to play. This is a guide to a faction in a 10 year old game.

![]() The fact I can take that experience into my bed or play it on the couch while my wife works through Supernatural again is a life changing experience. It is a fun game, with a fun story, and neat monsters. And I do it in my bed! Wow! How is this real! That’s what takes it up a notch. They look like cool toys…is that good? I don’t know but beating up a Jargon with this level of SMOOTHNESS is top-notch. The game shows that it is a proper modern title during the big bosses and cutscenes. Actually have watched a few videos of that game, and it still looks good! Just a tad blurry. Does that make me bad? The game is good! Feels like a proper adventure. Well, after a dozen hours I think I’m more impressed with the Switch over the game. I had heard good things about DQXI and it was between this and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I leaned on history and my brother’s rec. Dragon Quest is not as an exciting series cause you play as PEOPLE, who gives a crap, you know? I’ve already played one other official DQ game, Dragon Quest VIII which was p darn good and had a little monster arena side-game area. That flow of going 1+1=2, 1+2=1, and sometimes 1+1=3 is SO GOOD! Plus the monsters are cool as heck. I’m not even sure if it is that good but Monster breeder (UGH) games are sort of my kryptonite. ![]() Dragon Warrior’s Monster II: Cobi’s Journey is one of my all-time favorite games. I don’t know, what I do know is that the game fits like a glove. It doesn’t feel that long! Is that a problem?! That’s officially more than I’ve played any game this year. Somehow since Friday I have put 8 hours into the game. Dragon Quest gives me that BIG JRPG, a genre I don’t play a ton of because I think the best way to play them are on handhelds. In bed or on the couch I can fill a gaming desire. Right now I have action/adventure games, platformers of multiple dimensions, puzzle, strategy, and fighting games. The later I’m in a lot of need of these days. It is the perfect game console because it is the only one where I could put a dozen hours into in front of the TV on a Sunday or put two hours into in 15-minute increments while doing chores around the house. I don’t feel GREAT about buying things right now but I’ve wanted a JRPG for my Switch as my library of games can scratch the vast majority of itches that I might have. Old man from I Think You Should Leave Too small! It goes whiffing out of the car while I’m driving. I had a Best Buy gift card so I got the digital version because I HATE physical games on Switch. This week though I broke and bought a “new to me” game, DQXI on Switch. Especially with the world being real crushing. Weird how that bit of feeling like I wasn’t speaking into a void helps. Then someone commented and a person or two liked the Mirror’s Edge post. Quarantine almost had me revert this thread back into a blog.

![]() ![]() Second, in placing a bid, you assert that your team will win at least the number of points bid. So make sure that you have a marriage when deciding what to bid. First, you can only choose a trump suit if you have a "marriage" (King and Queen) in that suit. However, there are costs to winning the bid. The player who wins the bid gets to choose the trump suit, which can help to win their team meld points and trick points. Starting with the player to the dealer's left and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player places a bid. The objective is to be the first team to reach 500 points.Ī random player is chosen to be the dealer.Įach player is dealt a hand of 20 cards from a deck of cards containing four A, 10, K, Q, J cards of each suit (a total of 80 cards). The only cards in a trick that score points are the Ace, 10, and King - each is worth 1 point. Cards in the "trump" suit outrank all other cards. The next highest is the 10, followed by King, Queen, and Jack (lowest). The Ace card has the highest rank, meaning it is the most powerful card. So without further ado, let's shuffle those decks, embrace the thrill of Double Deck Pinochle, and embark on a journey that'll leave your opponents in awe of your card-wielding prowess! Rank of cards Once you feel more comfortable with the game, you should take a look at our Double Deck Pinochle strategy and tips. Once you've caught up with the rules, you can Play Double Deck Pinochle Online on World of Card Games, where you can choose between playing against bots or multiplayer with people online or your friends. Whichever way you choose, you should be well-suited to playing the game and the end of it. Learn the game's complete rules by reading them below or through our interactive tutorial above. The highest-ranking card wins the trick for the person who played it. Next, each person plays a card into a "trick". All players display their meld, and points are recorded. Points are scored in two ways: via "melding" and "trick-taking".Īfter cards are dealt, players combine their cards into particular patterns - called "meld" - to earn points. There are two teams of two players, with partners sitting across from each other. The correction - they should only lead with their aces in trump if they only have a very few trump.How to Play Double Deck Pinochle: Double Deck Pinochle Rules with Interactive Card Game Tutorialĭouble deck Pinochle is a 4 player card game. We don’t want to help the other team, this gives them an advantage because they now know where the power for the hand is. The correction- don’t feed the person trumping, play a different suit to try and reach your partner.Ģ- When the opponent calls a trump, when my partner gets in to play, if they have aces in the trump, they play all of their aces. It doesn’t matter which team is trumping, that is what happens. My issues: 1 - when the opponent is trumping a suit, the computer continues to play back the suit that is being trumped, allowing the opposite team to score more points, which could potentially cause the bidding team to be set or miss their bid. I would like to know if anyone else has noticed these issues: I have requested several changes and no action has been taken. It is the best pinochle game that I have found in the App Store. I have been playing this game for almost a year now. For instance bid is 65 your partner says 75 that means he has meld to back you up so take the bid if you got a good hand but not a lot of meld. If your partner bids 10 above what the bid is that’s telling you he has a lot of meld. Round Robin (KQJ) in every suit 32 points (With a Run 43 points) Round House (KQ) in every suit 24 points (With a Run 35 points) Jacks Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Jacks in every suit 4 points 2x(Forty Jacks) 40 points Queens Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Queens in every suit 6 points 2x(Sixty Queens) 60 points Kings Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) King in every suit 8 points 2x(Eighty Kings) 80 points Run (A,10,K,Q,J) in Trump suit 15 points (+4 points for every extra marriage)Īces Around (♠️♦️♣️♥️) Ace in every suit 10 points 2x(Thousand aces) 100 points Marriage (KQ) in Any suit 2 points (4 points if Trump suit) So here’s a cheat sheet for all you beginners Only thing is people could be very toxic on here because they can speak to you via microphone on their phone. This app has a very active table that plays by prison rules unlike other apps that play with 9’s. I learned Pinochle in Prison, we don’t play with 9’s.
