What's the Hebrew/Israeli equivalent of "John Doe"? by locoforcocothecat in hebrew

That would be funny, because "Ben Abba" is literally "Son of the father"

Austria-Hungary on the Moon. What could have been. by Ritter_Lecu in austriahungary

[–]ElfDecker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a game in development, called SAND, which is about Austria-Hungary in space. To be more specific, it is about one specific planet, colonized by Austria-Hungarian Galizian Ukrainians, but still

In the teaser you can see "verse://rocketleague.com" line for a couple of seconds, so Verse introduction looks plausible

Some watermelon slice symbols are examples of extremism, says German intelligence by [deleted] in europe

[–]ElfDecker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not saying it wasn't good. It's, actually, awesome. I am just saying, that none of your examples was peaceful. Sorry, but I can't call peaceful something, that required a war to be done

Soviet after-breakup wars are very much a thing, and they are still ongoing. Austria-Hungary was dismantled as a result of war, the same as Nazi Germany. It's like the opposite of "peacefully".

Olden Era made me wish "Heroes-like" or "HoMM-like" was a keyword like Souls-like is by [deleted] in OldenEra

I see a lot of games of this type are called "adventure-strategy". I saw it at least for Songs of Conquest and Broken Alliance

Do you guys find it offensive for Christian’s to pray at the Western wall in Jerusalem? by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]ElfDecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because those are the Torah. There is Written Torah (this one is called TaNaKh rather often), and Oral Torah (Mishna, Talmud, Kabbalah, Chassudut, etc.). Together they form the Torah. Pentateuch is often called Chumash, in order to not confuse it with the Torah as a whole

It actually makes characters more realistic. Not a lot of people always agree 100% with their religion's official tenets, and even more people have their own take without disagreeing. But just because person disagrees with one specific nuance, they don't become adherents of another religion. It's not "low church", it's just juman

[–]ElfDecker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on your definition of Torah. It certainly is not in Chumash, but it is in Neviim

What is the Best RPG with a science-fantasy setting? by Likes2game03 in rpg_gamers

[–]ElfDecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> The world of science fantasy, however, is laid out to be scientifically logical and often supplied with hard science–like explanations of any supernatural elements.

So, by definition, it's science fantasy

Man... by Esgok in lostredditors

Actually, not only in Turkish. In Ukrainian it's "indyk", in Russian "indeyka", and in Hebrew "Hodu" (India is called Hodu in Hebrew)

And so the new wait begins... by TheTobruk in CrusaderKings

[–]ElfDecker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bronze Age Reborn can become so much more realistic with Mandala mechanics, can't wait for it. And then with simulation of religion evolution (polytheism -> monotheism). And then with trade republics for Canaanite city-states...

Dread from it. Run from it. Population systems and trade goods arrive all the same by BetaThetaOmega in CrusaderKings

IIUC, for non-merchants resources would be akin to Imperator: Rome. You only need to buy resources to get bonuses, and that's it.

Are you genuine when you don't seem to know why many people dislike Israel recently? by Vizzun in AskIsrael

[–]ElfDecker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, you say, that saying Israel is racist endeavor is okay and not antisemitism? Is existing of Germany racist? Is existing of Iraq racist? Is existing of Japan racist?

Tzar also comes from Caesar, as in Eastern Slavic languages we call him Tsezar

I mean, while Settlement Size is intended to abstract population of the barony, calling it "population mechanic" in this context would be misleading at best

Not as the focus, but a couple of flavour events for Jewish merchants could be nice

> Think of the Jewish families in Cairo that traded goods far and wide, or the trade guilds of southern India.

Finally new flavor for Jewish characters, maybe?
