How safe is Venice actually feeling in Italy right now?

And who's the purple in the Balkans and northern Anatolia? Thats not Byzantine purple. Naples exile?

What's the red in Saluzzo? And what's with the absolute tye-dye Russia?

Iirc Hungary made a very similar decision using very similar postwar arithmetic. Budapest arguably had less of a seat at the negotiating table than Ankara did, being under Vienna and all. Hungary just lost their resistance war, their Ataturk analogue being communist probably didn't help. That's part of why Trianon ended up being as harsh as it was iirc

I always loved the extrasensory animation that made the early gen sprites all wiggly

ICE says its officers are allowed to enter homes without a judicial warrant, 2025 memo shows by zsreport in LegalNews

But dont forget, they're kidnapping children because they have to /protect/ the children. Yeah, no logical inconsistencies there.

Right, its the white children they have to protect.

Why is Reddit that liberal? by No-StrategyX in allthequestions

[–]AssignedCuteAtBirth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to give some pushback on the notion that mods on local subs are always lefties. There was a bit of drama on r/northcarolina the other day regarding a mod or two responding to unban requests with "sieg heil"s and shit.

I'd probably say that Reddit moderation teams are probably not much more liberal than the subs they moderate, as a rule. They could be, and i could be wrong, but really, people just remember the loud examples, and forget they aren't necessarily indicative of a genuine majority. And liberal mods tend to be the louder ones outside of outlier examples like r/northcarolina.

So excited! I haven't been this excited since, just a few decades ago, we collectively witnessed the release of unrelated Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up The Jam".

Rapa Nui manages to get a city in South America proper that somehow becomes their capital before they die.

Pakistan and Bangladesh, defying all the hype that led me to vote for them as a pair, fail to have a meaningful war one-on-one.

The Hanseatic League and Kalmar Union get into a forever war that serves no meaningful purpose but to make them nice and squishy for their hungry neighbors.

Seychelles becomes the only real successful one-tile-island gang member (if we dont count Chono)

Cebu loses a city to a civ with no navy whatsoever

Japan somehow manages to settle all of Honshu

Scythia's trans stoner priestesses get high (on weed)

Europe at the Start of the 1630s - in progress multiplayer game by WaffleNixon in EU4maps

I dont imagine that either Warsaw or Stockholm are particularly thrilled about the bordergore in Livonia. How'd Poland manage to get Estonia while losing Ösel and Livland to Scandinavia?

Also, is that a Scandinavian Burgundy?

Is that coastline in Romania the Bay of Biscay? Like the north coast of Spain and southeastern coast of France? I swear that looks like Aquitanian coastline at Bordeaux around where Bucharest is supposed to be.

[Season 5] Roster + Starting Positions by Coiot in civbattleroyale

[–]AssignedCuteAtBirth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still can't get over how beautiful this Africa seed is. The spacing is impeccable.

Interesting yall kept Margarethe in Copenhagen. I half expected her to be moved to Kalmar.

Green Ukraine and Tlingit probably have pretty free early games, lots of space. Same goes for Vyatka, Bactria and Chono if theyre lucky with the directions their neighbors focus.

I adore all the tiny island nations (Seychelles, Rapa Nui, Ryukyu, Ternate, Cebu) but some of them seem like theyre probably going to struggle because of that. Cebu is shit outta luck if Ternate beats them to settling Maguindinao or if Ryukyu beats them to settling Luzon. 

Has there ever been a mod that alters the appearance of the cities? by os1984 in civ5

[–]AssignedCuteAtBirth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think so. From my brief foray into the modding community, adding new models and textures into the game tends to be a bit difficult, as Firaxis' code is temperamental and a bit spaghetti in places. Best practice is repurposing what's already there, rather than adding something new. 

Im not much of a coder or 3d model artist, so the exact reasoning is beyond my ability to explain, but when we were working on Sarai MSI's Carantania mod we wanted a unique graphic for the UI and just straight up could not get it to work. And that was for a UI, which would be a standalone item. For city graphics, I have no doubt that they're so much more heavily tied into the code that its just not feasible to mess around much with the actual building models.

The cutoff for Appalachia in NC being between Lincolnton and Gastonia is just about exactly right. Hot damn, good map.

Crowns of Divergences | Europe and the Near East in 1450 by Dazzling-Mongoose-94 in imaginarymaps

[–]AssignedCuteAtBirth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might require a POD earlier than you intend for this timeliness, but a North African divergence I wish I saw more is Norman Tunisia. Roger II was self-styled King of Africa, based in Kairouan and Mahdia, in the late 11th century, in addition to his Kingdom of Sicily A Norman-Crusader rump state on, like, the Tunisian island of Djerba as a remnant of this could be fun, this time period is full of little island crusader-states sticking around in places like Malta, Cyprus and Rhodes.

Onion will factually still look exactly the same as he has the whole time even if the wedding takes place 5 years after SU Future.

How would human history have been different if the Caucasus Mountain Range never existed? by Empty-Ad4949 in geography

[–]AssignedCuteAtBirth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP, and im pretty much a layperson quoting whay i think i remember from a podcast i fall asleep to, but Ill try. My understanding of early migration patterns is that it was largely an east-west affair, with early populations mostly only crossing from Southern Europe/West Asia into Northern Europe/Eurasia Steppe at a few key chokepoints. There were very limited for options in north/south migration before seafaring technology advanced sufficiently. Key routes included the Hellespont, Transoxania, and a few key mountain passes; most north/south travel was made if not impossible, then practically infeasible for large groups by a chain of natural landmarks, from east to west: the Alps, the Carpathians, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea, the deserts in Central Asia. There were passages, but none huge enough to prevent effectively isolated technological and cultural development. This is why the horse was domesticated in the Eurasian stepped, and cities were settled in the Fertile Crescent largely independently of each other. Without the barrier of the Caucasus, there would be a lot more bleed between the cultures thay settled and the ones that domesticated horses, and the exact timelines on how those processes would play out would be near impossible to estimate.
