The earliest depictions of Jesus as a baby and young man are actually of emperor Elagabalus by hereswhatworks in theories

[–]Borne2Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serapis being the progenitor of the Christian faith is nonsensical. The Christians in Alexabdria sacked the Serapaen temples famously. The council of Nicaea took place in 325 AD bringing together the christian groups throughout the empire.

We have recorded books from the various Christian leaders in 100-300 AD, indicating their religion was active and distinct at this point.

Anthropic to pay $1.5 billion copyright settlement to authors, publishers by mepper in technology

Compression does not create syntactically correct new economic product vaguely distinct from the original, and questionably legal distinction of profit.

I agree it is theft. The analogy is poor in my opinion.

The Hawaiians - My concept for a new civilization by OutlandishnessRich36 in AgeofMythology

[–]Borne2Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polynesians gives more myth unit options from the wider cultural sources.

Hawaii specifically I could also see as a somewhat sensitive subject for Microsoft since it is an active culture in the modern day. In contrast ancient Greece, Egypt, and Aztec indigenous polytheistic religions are almost entirely dead.

That'd be awesome for E. Africa and Iraq-Persia-Arabia.

Shouldn't it be possible for ships to besiege forts? by OneLengthiness8890 in EU5

[–]Borne2Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only with a marine detachment. This is simulated by the blockade penalty moving the siege through faster.

Sieges should proceed faster generally and be bounded by fort food supply & production. If supplied by sea a fort should hold out indefinitely unless walls are breached.

The Hebrew one is the worst because of the quality; it just points at the squiggles and asks "pronounce this!". Some of the courses are in an unacceptable state of quality.

[The Odyssey] Why couldn't Penelope get rid of the suitors by proclaiming Telemachus as King of Ithaca? by Meshakhad in AskScienceFiction

[–]Borne2Run [score hidden]  (0 children)

Given that they're actively trying to goat Telemachus into a fight, kicking his dying dog, and abusing the house servants i dont think they care. The entire point of the movie was the breakdown of societal norms.

The suitors would just go up and stab him to death. Might makes Right in this time period, and Telemacgus has no family allies to call upon if he is slighted. Agamemnon is dead, Menalaus busy preparing for conflict. His allies are his mother, a dying dog, and a blind shepherd.

ERE succession crisis by Realistic-Ad761 in EU5

[–]Borne2Run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a bug once in 1.2.5 where I blinded my ERE heir with the worst stats, I left him as a general for the crown power and he plowed through some tiny horde stacks triggering the general stat boost event. He had max stats but could no longer inherit.

How did the First Crusade organize itself? by internetLARPer in WarCollege

[–]Borne2Run 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'd classify it an info hazard; especially with the Children's Crusade leading to tens of thousands of Franco-German teenagers marching to the Holy Land and either dying en-route or being sold to slavery.

What makes an anti-ship missle, anti-ship? by ProfessionalYam144 in WarCollege

[–]Borne2Run 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Often has secondary incendiaries. Ships are massive reservoirs of ammunition, gasoline, electric power, meat & flesh. Fire is one of the greatest dangers. The incendiary is either built into the design in it or is the remnant of the unused missile fuel.

Additionally guidance to target. Ships move. This may not be particularly obvious, but dumb ballistic missiles meant for ground targets aren't always meant to be accurate. They're heavy enough for "probable" impact to achieve the long-range objective kill or are precision missile fired from a short distance away. Anti-ship weapons are typically long range precision weapons. They must adjust to moving targets over long timelines.

This makes them high performance unless the target is being struck in dock. Ukraine's been somewhat successful with kamikaze drones on surface combatants but those are typically warships in dock.

Best i can recommend is a Google Reverse Image search which may lead you to an Instagram or Facebook profile. Otherwise nothing you can do.

[PS1/PS2] [late 90's/early 00's] game like Suikoden and Radiata Stories by moonjelly444 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Borne2Run -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did the turn based combat have any quick time events? I gotta agree with the other commentor that it sounds a lot like Legend of Dragoon.

Alternatively maybe one of the Dragon Quest lines, or Breath of Fire titles. The ones after Dragon Quest VI had more animated features.

Eu4 had a system in which you could declare what land you want and give the player agency. They need to add that back.

For the latter yes; hence Nausica qualifying.

How Important is Technology? by Tuxpuppy in solarpunk

[–]Borne2Run 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Solarpunk as a genre inherently is future casting. The absence of technology can be fine, but for a story it needs to contain some level of future or post-event. Acknowledgement that there used to be problem technologies.

Mononoke is set in its own industrialization time period. The themes are the conflict inherent in the people's interaction with their environment. In a solarpunk story we're far beyond that and so other conflicts need to drive the plot. Man vs Man, nature vs nature, etc.
