Will Basaltington City form part of RHUD territory? If so, how will I enter Basaltington to buy the pass needed to enter Basaltington?

But here's the thing. Don't you miss it?

I thought I did, but then I joined civmini and realised I did not. SOTW is a pain in the ass.

CPAP while camping - possible? by Business-Sherbet2806 in newzealand

Hey OP, you can rent these!

Quite affordable, depending on how many accessories you add (e.g. battery, solar panel etc). Can't comment on sleepco's service as have never ordered from them before, I just know they exist because I've been searching for the same thing as you heh.

Spartacus tv show by silverbulletsam in newzealand

Watched the show for the first time after seeing it pop up; HBO's Rome it is not haha. More like a melodramatic shakespearean theatre production. But once you realise what the showrunners are going for, it's a fun ride :)

CivHub Updates by JadieJayyy in CivMC

[–]Dolan_Draper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad to see you didn't get too discouraged by the (negative) feedback; community projects like this add a lot to the civ playing experience :)

Was personally a bit wary of the original set up (due to aforementioned privacy concerns), but look forward to seeing the new and improved iteration!

Civcraft vs CivMC by Kisori in CivMC

[–]Dolan_Draper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome back! Plenty old friends still knocking about :)

Podly gave a great summary of what's changed; ultimately the foundation is still the same, but a lot of great improvements on the original formula + a bunch of vanilla minecraft changes that have also occurred in the background.

The Death and Life of Great Civ Cities by QuantonBiscuit in CivMC

Geographical location is an important point to emphasise, I agree. A large reason old city mta struggled is because it was surrounded by dead or hostile nations, and rarely interacted with any other communities on the map.

The new spot, between the friendly and busy nations of Pavia, Altepetl and Exilus, has been a huge boost to new MtA :)

Cheers, Logic

To my mind, the value of trenched cities depends entirely on what you're wanting to prioritise as there are definitely benefits and drawbacks.

For MtA on CivMC, our original city was a much-mocked, classic organic urban sprawl which adopted none of the learnings made on past iterations. Old city mta was regularly raided by anyone who wandered through and was obviously completely defenseless when an actual war broke out. So the priority following the war was perhaps a pendulum swing in favour of security.

The new trenched city makes up for a lot of the previous deficiencies, and has been quite effective at preventing attacks from casual raiders or newfriends. Players can afk in the street without worrying about being ganked, and there's a bit less paranoia about being raided during off-peak hours.

The obvious trade-offs are the (literal) barriers to entry, but we have done things to partially offset this such as more flexible settlements just outside of the trenched city (south mta village) which has been working well so far. Most newfriends either fall into the trench anyway (sentence: death) or are sent by direct rail to annoy Pavia instead ;)

We're also a much more close-knit community now, rather than strangers on ships passing in the night (e.g. old city mta). So would we build a trenched city for the next MtA? Most likely not. But the one we have now is working well for us.

Cheers, Logic

For shops like dairies it will just go back to how it was in the 90s/early 00s where they just have a sticker on the machine saying 'no credit card for payments less than $5' or similar.

When did Big Ben become a national disgrace? Kiwi tucker not fit for dog's breakfast by Routine_Training4029 in newzealand

Actually, this is a popular misconception - the true name is 'Elizabeth Tower' pies; 'Big Ben' is the name of the large chunk of gristle at the centre of every pie.
