![]() However, as soon as your army is large enough, you’ll be able to send them all to gather resources, massively boosting your accrual in the process. One of the most important things that you can do throughout your entire journey in this game is to create the habit to gather resources from the world map, since generating resources in your town simply takes too much time, and you’ll eventually grow to the point where you have to wait for days until you have enough materials for a single upgrade or building. These units are vital to your development not only because they keep you safe from enemy attacks, but because you can use your troops to gather resources from the world map and complement your passive production. Other important structures include your military buildings such as the Barracks, Stables, Workshop, and Archer Camp, in which you will train the four different unit types for your army. And while your armies constantly drain your food reserves for their upkeep, there really isn’t any consequence to running out of food-your army will never leave or die of hunger. We recommend prioritizing Lumber since Food is easy enough to collect from the world map, as well as from your alt accounts. Though you won’t really have to worry about Mines and Quarries, since these are unlocked when you reach Keep levels 11 and 6, respectively, you’ll have to strike a balance between the other two. Some of the most important buildings to focus on at the beginning are your resource production structures, including the Sawmills, Farms, Quarries, and Mines, which produce Lumber, Food, Stone, and Ore, respectively. Their superior troop load will net you extra resources when gathering from the world map, while their enhanced research speed will let you research new technologies at a faster pace. ![]() ![]() Arabia: Gem Gather Speed +5%, Mounted Troop HP +5%, Bonus From Offering +5%.Ĭonsidering how important research and building is when you’re getting started, one of the best choices for beginning cultures in Evony is undoubtedly the Chinese.Russia: Ore Production +10%, Mounted Troop Defense +5%, Trap Build Speed +10%.America: Gold Levy +5%, Siege Machine Attack +5%, Training Speed +3%.Korea: Lumber Production +10%, Ranged Troop Attack +5%, Healing Speed +5%.Japan: Food Production +10%, Ground Troop Defense +5%, Crafting Speed +8%.China: Troop Load +5%, Ground Troop Attack +5%, Research Speed +3%.Europe: Stone Production +10%, Mounted Troop Attack +5%, March Speed to Monsters +5%.But we digress, when it comes to cultures, here’s a breakdown of the seven in Evony: By developing multiple alt accounts, you can effectively funnel resources to your main city, and never have to worry about not having enough materials to develop your town or build your army. It’s worth pointing out here that, at least when it comes to resources, you can easily play Evony: The King’s Return on PC with BlueStacks on multiple accounts at the same time using the Instance Manager. In this sense, while the cultures are fairly balanced, there are some that can be much better for newcomers, since they grant bonuses that improve building and development, or that increase the generation of important resources for this purpose. In Evony, there are seven different cultures to choose from, all of which offer their own unique perks and traits, and often specialize in specific aspects of their cities and armies. In this article, you’ll find the most important tips and tricks for beginners of this strategy conquest game, so that you can get familiarized with the basics and start your journey on the right track. Luckily, we’ve created this beginner’s guide especially for newcomers to Evony: The King’s Return. In this sense, you’ll need to work quickly and effectively, which can be a bit confusing if you’re just starting out. There are no dull moments in Evony, especially at the beginning, where every second counts and each moment is a rush to build your defenses and army before your peace shield wears off and you become susceptible to enemy attacks.

![]() Of these, 70 completed (37 in the active and 33 in the placebo groups). ResultsĪ total of 95 participants were randomised, of which 81 commenced the trial. Fasting blood samples were collected pre- and post-intervention which were used to measure the primary outcome of change in B vitamin biomarker levels. Each B vitamin-fortified drink (200 ml) contained 200 µg folic acid, 10 µg vitamin B12, 10 mg vitamin B6 and 5 mg riboflavin, while the placebo was an identical, isocaloric formulation without added B vitamins. Recruited participants meeting the inclusion criteria were randomised (by sex and study centre) to receive daily for 16 weeks either B vitamin-fortified or placebo drinks as developed by Smartfish, Norway. taking medications known to interfere with B vitamin metabolism, supplements containing B vitamins, consuming > 4 portions of B vitamin-fortified foods per week or diagnosed with gastrointestinal, liver or pulmonary disease).

I really pray you are not in the latter campaign. If however, your DM is constantly throwing Wisdom saves at you and you find your character standing around doing nothing (or worse, fighting your friends), take it for Wisdom saves. ![]() On average, Con will serve you better as at this point you have access to amazing control spells like Hypnotic Pattern and with our limited slots we really don’t want to lose them. We have to pick between Constitution and Wisdom, and I think the choice is campaign dependent. Mostly you’re just saving to take half damage, and by this level we already take half damage anyway. Rogues get Dexterity as their good save, and while Dex saves are common, they are also the least debilitating on average. Gem’s ability to potentially negate multiple attacks is worth much more, just beware that super beefy enemies probably aren’t failing the save. Gift of the Metallic Dragon is also worth considering, but creatures have so many attacks at this level that negating one or two just isn’t that impactful. Gift of the Gem Dragon (Lv 10): Take this if you either find that you’re running out of slots for Shield, or you didn’t pick the spell up in the first place. I’d take a Wizard level before I’d take this feat. I must mention that a single or even few level dip into Wizard is absolutely amazing for this Rogue, expanding our spellcasting abilities massively and giving us access to rituals. Magic Initiate (Lv 10): We probably either chose Find Familiar or Shield as our restriction free pick at level 3, and this can give us the other option plus some more utility cantrips. A single level dip in Fighter can also provide this, as can two in Ranger, and neither are bad multiclasses. Having another person in the party with Silvery Barbs is also a huge boon, and Misty Step will get us out of situations that a bonus action dash cannot (like grapples).įighting Initiate (Lv 8): We’re here for the Archery style, as it greatly compensates for Sharpshooter’s accuracy penalty and makes our damage most consistent overall. Crossbow Expert is especially necessary for Rogues because it gives us another chance to land our sneak attack, and not landing sneak attack on a turn is a really bad feeling.įey Touched/ Shadow Touched (Lv 8): These feats are pretty equal for a Rogue, but I rate Fey slightly higher because our subclass makes getting Invisibility and illusion spells very easy, even though those are probably more relevant spells for a Rogue than the one’s Fey gives. But, I don’t make the math, I just tell you what it says. I understand if you’re tired of this combo being a basic requirement for every weapon user in 5e, and I agree with you. Yes, you can play a Rogue without these feats, and no, you will not deal acceptable damage in any capacity. ![]() Sharpshooter/ Crossbow Expert (ASAP): Dread it, run from it, these feats still arrive all the same. If you nail a guard curling off of a screen and he shoots in rhythm, it seemed to me as though your shot percentage gets a bit of a bump, which stands to reason. From there you'll see your players set screens for one another and icons will show up over certain players' heads when they're open to receive a pass (you'll have a primary and secondary option). This year all that's needed to initiate a typical motion offense is a tap of the left shoulder button. Another cool addition to the NCAA Basketball formula comes in the form of new play calling. The attention to detail that has been put into each of the presentation packages is great to see and certainly helps bring the visual presentation of NCAA Basketball 10 much closer to the genuine article. While ESPN's trio of Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler and Erin Andrews have much more to say than Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery who often repeat the same unexciting quips, seeing them both in the game is cool. You'll see identical logos, the same graphics transitions, pretty much everything right down to the commentators is identical to what's on TV. ![]() As soon as you enter into a game you're instantly transported into the world of either broadcasting experience. ![]() For starters, the presentation has been kicked up several notches thanks to both the CBS and ESPN licenses making appearances. Thankfully the team at EA Canada has made a few additions that actually do help expand on the college basketball experience. Next, make it so we can move through this object, but not go back through the other way. First, replace the graphics with the same one we used for the walls: It will have the same effect as it would have if the collision shape was the exact shape of the spike image. Let’s work around that and create the shape shown in the image instead. ![]() We can’t create concave shapes because it greatly increases the processing power required to run our game. Note that our collision shapes must be convex. Since the enemy isn’t a perfect triangle, click the plus sign in the upper right part of the collision shape editor window to add a collision point. So, leave a little leeway when designing your collision shapes and you will increase your fun factor for your game. That moment when they think – “I can’t believe I just lived through that”, they experience a lift in their excitement level making your game more fun, and putting the achievement on the player. This way we don’t run the risk of the user feeling cheated when they get killed, then deciding the game is unfair.Īlso, when you give the user leeway with collision shapes they experience excitement when they have close calls. Whenever we create collision shapes for enemies, we want to make sure they are just a bit forgiving. The enemies don’t have to have an exactly precise collision shape unlike that of the character. Now let’s edit the collision points for the enemies: the spikes.ĭrag the points so it reaches the end points of the shape. When you are done editing collision points for an object, simply close the window. We can subtract points, and we can reset the image if we mess things up. We can move the points around to get a more precise fit. ![]() We can choose between a polygon shape and the circular shape we have now. If the collision shape isn’t the same as that of our character, for example, if the collision shape is square, we can edit it using some of the options in the upper left of the editor. ![]() You can move the side dot to resize the collision shape of the circle. Simply drag it from the middle (the collision shape) and put it in shape, so that it is centered. We clearly have the right shape already because our character is circular and we replaced it with a circular graphic. What we want is for the collision shape to match the graphic. It is what Buildbox uses to determine if it hits something. You’ll notice almost immediately that our collision shape is off. Holding the spacebar down while we click and drag will move the editor around. ![]() Similar to any editor in Buildbox, the mouse scroll button will zoom us in and out. Simply resize the window to increase its size. We are now going to make our object nice and big in the editor, so we can get as precise as possible. You will need to Click on that button to open the collision shape editor. You will see the global options appear in the options panel to the far right directly above the default animation.ĭirectly above the default animation of any object and character there is the button for editing the collision shape. We are going to start building our character and to do so, you will need to select the character located in the assets panel to the far left. We have to determine the collision shape for Buildbox to recognize it. Just because you have a circle for an image of an object, doesn’t mean that Buildbox automatically realizes that the object is supposed to be circular. Collision Shapes are what Buildbox uses to decide when objects interact.įor example my character looks like it hits the wall and has stopped because the collision shape of my character has collided with the collision shape of the wall, and so without collision shapes the graphic for my character would just fly off the screen and it would be no fun. First, let’s talk about Collision Shapes.Ī collision shape is the shape of an object as “seen” by the collision/physics engine. We will bring a new enemy into our game and bring it to life by going into great detail on the object settings and the object components. Here in chapter two, we will work on the foundation of level design and discuss editing the collision shapes for our new graphics. So far, we used creator to build a playable skeleton of a wall jump game, we dropped in a ton of graphics to customize it including our menus. ![]() o VA Benefits Briefings I & II: During these briefs, participants receive information about VA benefits and services to include healthcare, education, life insurance, home loan guaranty, disability compensation, vocational rehabilitation and employment benefits and programs. Participants will complete a 12-month post-military budget. Participants will learn about: credit reports/ scores, how to evaluate salary and total compensation packages, resources for retirement, Thrift Savings Plan, health insurance, life insurance, implications of taxes after transition, evaluate cost of living, developing spending and savings plan, and debt management. o Financial Planning Seminar/12-month Budget: This 5-hour workshop entails detailed information and tools to identify financial responsibilities, obligations and goals after transition from the military. Participants document gaps between civilian career and requirements for that occupation. o MOC Crosswalk/Gap Analysis: During this workshop, participants examine military experience, education and training, and identify civilian occupations that align with experience. o Transition Overview: This 2-hour briefing provides information about what to expect as you transition, and this briefing must be completed before you enroll in other workshops or training. TAP Workshops: TAP curriculum components should ideally be completed over the course of a few months, however, all can be completed over a 5-day period if your transition timeline is short.The completed ITP is reviewed by the SFL-TAP Counselor and Commander prior to transition. The ITP is a working document that evolves throughout transition preparation. ![]()

On the home screen, go to the top of the display and select the “settings” symbol.Ensure you are using the latest Kindle software (at the time of writing, 5.13.4).The first technique requires using the quick settings menu and requires the following steps: There are three easy ways to turn on Kindle dark mode on your device. Less exposure to harmful blue light allows you to fall asleep quickly and enjoy a good night’s rest. Transform your nightly reading routine by using dark mode. Hence, reading on the default Kindle theme makes it harder to fall asleep. ![]() However, reading on the default white screen increases exposure to blue light, disrupting the sleep-inducing hormone Melatonin release. Like most book lovers, you most likely use your Kindle app to read a book before bed. Since reading for a long time on a screen can cause dry eyes and eye strain, you should give your eyes a break by switching to a dark environment. Several experts have found that the increase in contrast between text and background provided by dark mode can help reduce eye strain. Hence it supports your eye health.ĭark mode cuts down the risks of eye strain Dark mode goes easy on the eyes by limiting exposure to blue light. This leads to eye-related problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Beyond the comfort that Kindle dark mode gives, here are other benefits of dark mode.Ī study from the University of Toledo suggests that the blue light released from the display of your smart devices can cause damage to the retina. The light text on the dark background can be super soothing when staring at a screen all day. ![]() The most notable benefit of using dark mode on Kindle is that it makes reading easier without straining your eyes. Don't forget, you have to see that blue button in the middle with the three dots when you touch the top of the screen- then drag down.The benefits of enabling dark mode on your Kindle So, I guess we are so used to dragging up- now drag down. I took me some time to figure it out, but it works now! Good luck! Don't forget, you have to see that blue button in the middle with the three dots when you touch the top of the screen- then drag down. (You will see a BLUE "button" at the top middle with three dots) Keep dragging down and your Kindle setting should appear as usual at the bottom. ![]() So,In TABLET MODE (couldn't get it to work in desktop mode) on the Kindle app, I opened a book, then, I start at the top of the page and drag two fingers DOWN SLOWLY. So, I fiddled around with it and now my Kindle works just like it used to! BUT, I could change the settings with ease. It's not anywhere near as good as the app for ease of reading. So I went into desktop mode and downloaded Kindle for PC. Contacted Amazon and they let me know that Amazon didn't have a newer version of the Kindle app yet. So, I couldn't change the background color, font size, etc. My Kindle options weren't in the usual, swipe up from bottom, location. I just upgraded to Windows 10 on my Asus tablet. ![]() He took part in a project with Jerry Goldsmith on the soundtrack for Love at First Bite as well as Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. īetween 19 Barnes worked on TV, radio jingles, recordings and occasionally toured in the west and midwest United States.
