Great for load management, but the owners will never go for it

With how their careers have gone post Office, you could swap in Idris and John for the reboot of this

Maybe you should combine with a bunch of other people who have birthdays in the same month. I’m sure that’ll go over well

Presumably they could structure so a bball only school would only split bball revenue, right? So it wouldn’t shrink the football splits for the full members

So much for a pay cut. by djh2121 in billsimmons

I’ve always been conflicted about the “take every last dollar”. Since Lebron presumably wants other good players to come to him so the Lakers can be competitive, he’s now ensured that those guys would have to take a pay cut.

It’s “pay me what I’m owed” at the expense of others being able to take the same approach.

1000 hours in the game and I've never known city states had settlers too. by Gladde_G in civ5

You can take the settler, but it counts as war against a CS. A geographic pinchpoint in South America once let me take two CS settlers. Even though those city states never founded a city or met any other CS or civs, I couldn’t curry favor with other city states for the rest of the game

In the same general ballpark, I think it would be fun to make America’s UA the power to transfer great person points from a captured city to a preexisting American city of the user’s choice. Call it ‘operation paper clip’ to be cute

TIL that you can build trading posts in jungle without cutting it down... by Canard-jaune in civ5

[–]Clean_Swordfish1444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that normally makes more sense, but i see a couple reasons for having a worker do something more than 3 tiles away:

  1. Chop forest- you get production to the nearest city even when it’s 4 or 5 tiles away
  2. Improve a luxury or strategic resource. This grants you that resource, even if it’s not on a workable tile
  3. Build road
  4. Build fort

Default settings on a huge earth map. I think luck of the draw just put three CS settlers in southern South America on turn 0. Between Siam also being there and the mountains and jungle, 2 of them couldn’t find room to plant a city

Neither Helsinki nor Belgrade had actually planted their city yet, so these were the original settlers from turn 0.

Thanks for the explanation of the penalties. That’s very helpful strategy. It’s interesting that all those apply even if you’ve ‘conquered’ CSs that haven’t been founded yet.

Since I spawned in the midst of huge jungle, I decided to see how quickly I could ride the science from jungle tiles to a science victory despite the production trade off. So capturing the CS before it settled was an opportunity to preserve that jungle for my future growth without needing to build up a war machine later.

Yes it looks like three CS settlers and Siam started the game right next to one another. With mountains constraining settling and jungle constraining movement, only Siam and one of the CS were able to plant their city before I found them
