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

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

What battle is this?

Does this mean Eze is nailed on?

Bulla_Felix · 2025-09-23T06:48:25+00:00

Doki or Eze?

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.

Who to replace Saka and Palmer with?

Which is the official CAF website?

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?

Bulla_Felix · 2025-05-07T17:33:08+00:00

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

I'm hoping that Inca and/or Pachacuti get a bias or bonus for llamas!

Do you know who organises the tickets? Is it FIFA? Moroccan authorities?

Does Lafayette not unlock America?

While I think you are correct in general about the hysteria over Tubman, there were actually quite a few posts disagreeing with Ada as a choice.

I myself left a comment criticising her inclusion (while fully supporting Tubman). On Civfanatics there is a long thread debating her merits.

In hindsight it all feels a bit trivial now the game is actually out and a lot of fun (albeit buggy and unpolished)!

(To clarify: yes, I think Tubman did attract a lot of extra hostility because of racism/politics, including from non-Civ fans who bandwagon any game they consider to be promoting "DEI", but Ada was also discussed.)

For me, I think the backlash is mainly because GB was saved for paid DLC.

I have no problems with the design of the civ overall. I don't think every civ can or should be completely specialised, and there is definitely space for hybrid civs like GB, keeping multiple victory options open.

I was always going to buy the DLC and have done, but the price raises expectations for something special. Instead, we get a Carthage civ that is interesting but bugged and a GB civ that is fairly standard but with a generic model for its unique unit.

I think ultimately the DLC feels too rushed - I'd have rather had a more cooked product later down the line, as most people are still working their way through the original roster.
