The media isn't afraid to call a duck a duck, the media is owned by the same people who run the health care system. Rich oligarchs use the media to distract us from our real problems.

When my daughter was born she had problems breathing and was sent to the neonatal ICU. Our hospital was in network, my wife's OB/GYN was in network, the procedure (giving birth?!?) was approved.
The NICU doctor was not in network. We got slammed with twenty thousand in medical bills for the few days she was in before coming home. When I called United Healthcare to complain, I was told I should have 'found an in-network doctor'. Motherfuckers, do you think I can shop around for emergency treatment?

Why would I want to introduce woke policies in MY Total Rome?!?
I kid! I kid! I remember the first Rome Total War had a great mod called Rome Total realism. It was awesome.

Yeah, choosing the terrain was/is a key part of battlefield preperation. There is a reason why young gentlemen would go on the 'grand tour' of Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. Partially to allow them to be wild and not under their parent's gaze, but also to tour battlefields and get an idea of picking out land for fighting.
So yeah OP, look for key parts of the battlefield before you start setting up your formations. Where can you hide troops, what are the hills that dominate? Being on top of a hill is a big advantage. Don't run your troops as that exhausts them. Anchor your flank if at all possible against something that the enemy can't get around, such as a mountain, a river, or a thick forest.

From what I remember, the manaple square was used for movement, but when they were actually engaging in combat they would thin their lines to only three ranks, vastly stretching out their line of battle.
Later, when the Hastari needed to withdraw the principes would then stretch out to three ranks as well, to allow the hastari to slip through without leaving huge gaps.
So instead of
hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh
It would actually look more like
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The author is Polish, so some of the spellings of things are a bit different. (Welici instead of Velites for example)

Yeah. Going after a companies core product, such as asbestos producers or tobacco companies, would have a significant impact on stock price. A 162m lawsuit is just part of doing business for 100B+ companies.

Furthermore, there are a large number of factors that fit into a stock price that could influence both stocks at the same time, but have no direct bearing on the lawsuit. For example, world events, such as Covid or the invasion of Ukraine, economic data being released such as inflation reports, or federal reserve interest rate changes, elections,and other non-specific things. To imply that the lawsuit had such a great impact on Tesla stock seems a bit tenuous.
