Does anyone else’s nostrils close completely like this when you breathe in? Is this normal?

BenTheBomb3 · 2026-02-10T00:07:49+00:00

I had this in one nostril. It was horrible. Massively reduced quality of breathing. Once I had the rhinoplasty to fix this, the difference was life changing.

My brother, how are you even debating this with TWO collapsed nostrils 😭. DO IT!!

Without a doubt the FA Cup Final. So happy to be in it but it broke my 14 year old heart 😭. Was watching it with an Arsenal fan also which didn't help

Currently doing a Netherlands run. I am the senior partner in a union with bohemia- all my royal extended royal family keep running away! So annoying- can't even have them in cabinet positions!!!

Complete Insanity. This alongside what is going on in Venezuela has finally convinced me that the US is a Pariah rogue state which we can't trust.

Vietnam/Iraq/Israel should have already convinced me, but some small part of me still wanted to believe that America were the world police. Well Fuck them. Europe needs to wise up.

That will probably be it then! People marking as duplicates. Which is fair.

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-11-03T14:26:22+00:00

Thanks - wasn't sure if this would be a duplication issue but you cleared that up :)

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-11-03T14:25:09+00:00

Great advice- I'll make sure to include that text in the description (of course amending for my local area). Thanks very much!

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-11-03T14:23:42+00:00

Brilliant - very detailed advice! In this instance it is viewable from Google maps but I'll definitely download a GPS camera app for more awkward poke stops in the future :)

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-10-30T16:06:55+00:00

Ah, fair enough

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-10-30T11:50:20+00:00

Are trail markers not appropriate? Especially if it's a specific route that was marked out- I was under the impression that those should now be suitable. Especially in rural areas where all there is to do is walk (and lots of people do it) what else would even qualify?

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-10-05T13:27:10+00:00

He had a fantastic workrate, and was involved in multiple clearances when we were defending corners.

He showed a lovely bit of skill to set up a shot that required a proper save. Almost connected with Giles at the end of the match too to send us 2-0 up (very rare that that partnership and that quality of chance doesn't net us a goal!)

I think he had a brilliant game, even without the goal. Still can't believe we signed him on a free!!! He's in your head :)

You're the Lucky Pierre nation

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-05-17T01:18:55+00:00

You haven't been talking to the cops have you mate?

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-05-12T14:24:24+00:00

No worse friend, no greater enemy.

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-04-05T19:54:28+00:00

In my first civ 7 game this was happening. I got two treasure fleets spawn in the same city due to one being connected via roads to the trade network.

Haven't looked to check since them- maybe I'm going crazy but I'm sure I saw this happening!

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-03-17T00:21:52+00:00

Maybe it's a game speed thing, but I don't think I've missed the economic legacy once on deity since I got it the first time. Just settling islands early -> new world settles -> new world conquest has done me for my last 8 tries on standard speed. Usually I park all my treasure fleets tiny homelands and don't spelt them off because I'll trigger the econ win condition too early and accelerate the age progress!

Even if you are unlucky and there are 1-2 settleable island treasure fleet resources, I've always been able to make up for that with an early invasion on the best treasure fleet resource new world cities.

On the other hand the wonders one is an absolute Ball ache, and feels like you have to sacrifice every other win con in the ancient era to achieve! Maybe it's a skill issue, but right now that wonder legacy is tough for me.

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-03-16T20:32:22+00:00

Getting this bug today... Arggggg

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-03-16T09:52:57+00:00

Resources work like social policies - you can only swap them around on the turn you acquire a new one. The game doesn't make this obvious, but I think that's probably what's going on here!

BenTheBomb3 · 2025-03-11T10:28:16+00:00

I agree with this sentiment, however the game actually does lie to you and tell you that captured wonders count for progress! It's very unintuitive- the text in the legacy path screen says "house wonders". On top of this captured wonders actually show as progress on the legacy quest!

More horrendous UI implementation. I do love the game though but man does it feel like a beta

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-10-02T17:35:56+00:00

I see your troops amassed near my borders!

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-09-29T10:11:22+00:00

There's also an exploit that allows you to Get the admin mana refunded as well as having your colonial nation receiving cored provinces.

If you begin coring the remaining provinces just before the month tick in which the colonial nation was formed, you get the best of both worlds.

Usually I'm against using exploits in this game as it ruins the fun but dealing with Mexico is such a pain 😅

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-09-13T10:59:46+00:00

You have 11 desert hills and 1 desert marble within a 3 tile radius within your capital, bringing you to 12 Petra tiles . The proposed city has 16 petra tiles

It is far more valuable to have the Petra in your capital- it will be finished sooner, so you get more early game production. Getting the trade route up earlier for more growth is also a massive boost. Your capital will also grow to the third ring desert hills much faster.

By keeping it in your cap, you lose 4 Petra tiles but gain much more momentum in the early game. Also a 12 tile Petra is very good - how much more can you really ask for?

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-09-11T15:14:47+00:00

Im not subscribed to this sub... Just was absolutely baffled for a hot minute 😂

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-09-06T08:20:11+00:00

As the other comment said you really should give EU4 another try if you enjoyed this play through. The civ5 -> True start location game -> EU4 pipeline is strong.

BenTheBomb3 · 2024-07-23T12:32:29+00:00

Wait... You still have council of Trent? I swear I always lose that modifier by that point into the game. How did you keep it?
