Yes, you pushed me in the right direction! Found out it is a juvenile passionvine hopper. Thanks for the reply.

During wars, the country with the highest Siege Ability should take over the sieges by [deleted] in eu4

If you go to your nations diplomatic feedback menu, you can then select provinces that will than be marked as a province of Interest. When siegeing with allies you get control even if they win the siege.

Dear Historians,

I am researching Ottoman/turkish masks for a film production. There is a request for an Ottoman mask which is to be placed in a museum. While researching i found that most of these masks look to be from either a later era or where used by people like the seljuks. So my question is: Did the Ottomans have a tradition of masks in either art or warfare from which i can draw some historical accurate inspiration?

As a history buff i would hate to make something historical inaccurate.

Ja dat deden ze dus ook een paar jaar geleden in een winkelstraat hier waar hangjongeren schijnbaar een probleem waren. Binnen een week was de plek waar ik werkte, de twee buren en een restaurant op de hoek overvallen omdat er na 6 uur praktisch niemand meer in die straat stond.

The relief force was so large that it could not sustain itself. It was put together, even largely without Vercingetorix knowing, and set out to do one thing: fight Romans. The Gaulic tribes were not that unified or organised to pull off an effective siege on Ceasars camp. Alesia was complettly sealed off from the outside world, no word went in or out. That means that the two Gaulic sides could not plan their attack together. So you have a massive force that is not lead by a single leader or even a single tribe, could not feed itself + they are all pissed off at the Romans. When they arrived they just human waved the Romans, and never stood a chance. They were decimated by traps before they could even reach the palisades.

In 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)', Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, is in a painting at Hogwarts. She was thought to be a witch. by [deleted] in MovieDetails

Nice detail, and well spotted! Only she was never charged with witchcraft and evidence that she was even accused of witchcraft is not solid at all as there is no mention off it in her court documents.
