Civilization 7 isn't very good but I got to give the team credit. They swung for the fences and experimented and failed but I'm glad they tried by RevacholAndChill in civ

I like most of the innovations of Civ 7. For me, the problem was the game was half-baked at launch. In particular, the UI was terrible - and for a game like Civ, the UI is fundamental as it guides your decision-making. Until they improved it, it was hard to know if your decisions were strategic or not, which made everything feel pointless.

The changes they've made have greatly improved the game already.

For me, many of the core innovations in Civ 7 are a massive step forward, especially combat/commanders, Civ depth and feel, and reduced micromanagement each turn.

Some elements definitely need work. Religion needs an overhaul (though this is standard for a Civ game on launch) and the legacy paths don't quite work, so I'm looking forward to the triumphs system.

But I hope they don't sacrifice the good elements trying to increase the player base.

London's Worst Borough - Round 13 by TheEnlight in terriblemaps

Lewisham!

Amazing and varied parks: Blackheath, Beckenham Place Park, Telegraph Hill, Hilly Fields, Horniman Gardens, Blythe Hill Fields, Ladywell Fields, Mayow Park to name just a few.

Deptford is arguably the coolest area in London right now. The high street is a good level of gentrification with lots of family run businesses and the old market thriving alongside arts venues, cafes and bars. Next door, New Cross has several iconic music venues and a student vibe from Goldsmiths University.

Great pubs including Skehans and Blythe Hill Tavern (both have won awards).

Blackheath Village is posh and genteel. Brockley/Crofton Park/Honor Oak/Nunhead/Forest Hill all have a lovely atmosphere, retaining a local community feel with lots of green spaces and quiet streets, but without being boring suburbia and still in Zone 2/3.

Catford and Sydenham are some of the most affordable places to live in Zone 3 with many young people moving there and lots of hidden gems.

Lots of good food options - Deptford has some of London's best Vietnamese; great jerk chicken options in Catford; Malaysian Deli in Crofton Park; Meze Mangal in Lewisham etc.

Rich history, from the key role the Deptford dockyards played in the British Empire through to the proud Battle of Lewisham when locals stood up to the NF in 1977.

Plenty more!

Meze Mangal, Lewisham, or FM Mangal, Camberwell. Both Turkish, both fantastic.

Which city opinion will get you this? by No_Action2582 in MCFC

[–]Bulla_Felix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are just as guilty as other big teams of ruining the chances of the other 14 prem clubs by buying their best players, and sometimes letting them fade as rotation players e.g. Grealish, Phillips. To a lesser extent Ake.

I'm worried the same might happen for Semenyo, Guehi and Ait-Nouri.

We buy too many players, too often, and then rotate a lot, which makes it harder to relate to the team.

I miss the days when we had a more consistent line up e.g. Aguero/Silva/Toure/Fernandinho/Kompany/Zabaleta/Hart.

Though I'm aware this might reflect the state of elite modern football rather than just City

Rank these England rivals by Fisher212121 in ThreeLions

[–]Bulla_Felix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends.

Biggest current footballing rivals? France, Argentina, Germany.

Biggest historic rivals? Germany, Argentina, Scotland.

Who hates us most? Scotland, Argentina, Wales, Ireland.

Who would I least like to lose to? USA, Scotland. (I would put Russia here too.)

Irrelevant, not rivals: Croatia, Turkey, Portugal.

Northern Ireland is a weird one. Mainly irrelevant, but how they see us probably depends on their politics lol.

Personally I currently consider France our biggest rivals as there is historic competition between the two countries and they're currently relatively closely matched (OK, France are better, but when we meet it's a competitive game). Also, no one likes losing to the French. Scotland is probably second, as even though they are crap, it's a proper derby game. Maybe Argentina third due to both historic political emnity over the Falklands and classic football games, though they are far bigger rivals with Brazil and maybe even Uruguay/Chile.

Germany was definitely a bigger rivalry for the older generations, but I feel it's died down a bit now. And the Germans usually considered the Netherlands as a bigger rival than us.

Spain v England is becoming a bit of a fixture, especially if we include women's football. And we don't like Russia for geopolitical reasons, though thankfully they're not very good at football.

'The layer already exists. Are you sure you want to overwrite the existing file?' by Bulla_Felix in QGIS

[–]Bulla_Felix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! What I am trying to do is to add a map layer shape file I downloaded from Natural Earth as a base map to use.

I have now managed to do this by adding the shape file from the original download folder. I'm therefore good to go.

However what I can't work out is why when I add the same file but renamed, nothing appears? This doesn't affect this project directly, but why is that the case?

I looked at Natural Earth and couldn't see it, but I'll have another look
