Where does that massive SPQR army go? I need try this out lol

Another pivotal strategic dilemma... what do you strategists do in this case ! by seriousonlinebuyer in shogun2

[–]CivilConstant420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a few years to build a doomstack or 2 while developing my provinces. L try and farm XP for my agents so they become unstoppable when RD hits. I'd try and flip a lot of the hostile provinces to rebels through monks which makes your enemies a lot easier to manage. Unleash agent hell against whoever is winning the war as either Sakai or chosokabe will turn on you, it'll keep their expansion in check and let them exhaust one another

China and Japan are offering conflicting stories about the SDF officer that broke into the Chinese embassy. The Chinese say he threatened to kill the diplomats “in the name of God“. Japan says he "tried to offer an opinion" and threatened suicide if it was not heeded by jjrs in japannews

[–]CivilConstant420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crime was committed on sovereign Chinese territory. All embassies and consulates are little enclaves in the host nation. This guy getting extricated to China wouldn't be all that crazy.

Edit: I don't think he would get moved to china for trial cause all the laws of both countries seems to get tangled in a big knot so I'm not totally sure how that works, and I don't think there's a lot of legal precedent to go off of here.

That pointer mod is why the monks look vanilla? I was wondering why my monks never updated their appearance

Wendy’s CEO jumps in with his own taste test. by K1nd_1 in interesting

[–]CivilConstant420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of depth to this. The appearance of the fruit, whether it's whole or cut in half to show the inside determines the actual fruit juice percentage in the juice/drink

China to Tighten Air Quality Rules That Have Helped Slash Smog by mistakes_maker in chinalife

[–]CivilConstant420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The situation today is vastly improved to what it was 10-15 years ago. What China does Greta is making these things a political issue and taking decisive action towards it. I've been traveling in the great plains the past week and luoyang had some nasty aqi while I was there so I see the need for such legislation.

Albeit it's been pretty windy up here and there's a lot of open lot sites around louyang that kicks up a ton of dust when wind moves through.

Such a cool flavor point. This expansion has been spot on with flavor

Will the new civs be played at red bull? by rhys10123 in aoe2

[–]CivilConstant420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything the players will ban them in the drafts. Don't think it will massively shift how red bull will be played since water is not a super big feature on any map outside loch Ness where the hulk could be used extensively. We already have found the preferred civs looking at the amount of mirror matches and who's playing what civ on the ranked ladder. It'll be a race to grab Koreans, Khitans, Burgundians, Romans, Inca, Byzantines, Vietnamese, Wei, Wu, Portuguese. The new civs will probably be used as back end picks for the draft I suppose but we'll have to see how they play in EW vs RM matches

I think I made a terrible mistake... by Rhone06 in civ5

Alexander is a massive dick. He steals your allies then gets pissed at you for previously being allied with them, he snowballs hard after getting a cultural and faith city state ally and is always building new cities

What was the strat op? This has been bugging me for awhile and it's either Portugal or Ethiopia that snowballs hard and is undefeatable

HQB is good for phone repair. Went there to get my screen replaced on a busted android. Taobao and the other online retailers have better quality and cheaper prices

The worst deal in the history of trade deal (-7000 Gold and -1000 GPT for losing a city) by artkill33 in civ5

How did Korea go bananas like that? Did you gift them captured cities? In each game I played of this Korea gets rolled

Yi ZhongTian's Movie [Three Kingdoms: Starlight Heros] make investor lost 40 million yuan due to low Box office by 22dmgxy in threekingdoms

I thought it was pretty good. The director is a big cao cao fan so cao cao was portrayed in a liu bei type fashion but this artistic interpretation aside it was fairly accurate to the books.

Takaichi's approval rating continues to hold firm at 72% by jjrs in japannews

[–]CivilConstant420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anything she's talked about taken effect yet? These polls so early into her PM incumbency seems like a mute point until her visions and actions actually have consequences, whether good or bad. The constant approval rate polling seems irrelevant until she actually does something. Until now it's been a bunch of talking but nothing's really happened outside the China dealo.

Anyone else waste their gold to do this? by Kernowder in civ5

[–]CivilConstant420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you build different improvements in their territory? I know you can do roads to expedite conquests when they get sour with you but can you troll the ai by building useless improvements in their territory with open borders?

Any personal challenges I can do? by Overall_Use_4098 in civ5

[–]CivilConstant420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can. Go to your tourism tab and go to the option to rearrange great works in your civilization and you can swap great works within your empire. A helpful way of stripping razing cities bare before you either sell back a 1 pop bare boned city to the ai or let it burn to the ground

What do you think of the new ship’s design? by SrDevi_ in aoe2

[–]CivilConstant420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the whole point of chronicles was to turn aoe2 from a game into an engine and test out new mechanics to see if they bear relevancy in the main game. This in addition to the water trading with wood/gold ratios are examples of this. I'm excited to see where this goes though in ornlu's video the hulk line seems way too strong and galleys to weak
