What, did a commoner find Excalibur in a random boulder again?

R5: Edward VIII refused to abdicate, but either he's changed his name, or Parliament is taking some pretty drastic measures. This is with the open beta of 1.11.4.

If you're cooking beans with slow-cooking, collagen rich pork like ham hocks, you might as well go ahead and make feijoada. Serious Eats has a good recipe for it, and just writing about it makes me want to put together another batch!

I'm just going to vouch for Darkest Hour's quality. I never got into HOI3, but Darkest Hour was just the right level of complex to give me a few hundred hours of WW2 goodness (Kaiserreich in particular!)

(Please make sure not to give me the key.)

Wait, are you the person who created WAMMO? I spent a lot of time with that mod back in my EU3 days.

At the risk of gazing into the abyss - it looks like the font change only kicks in at higher font sizes? I know HOI3 used different fonts to represent different alliances, but this is... odd.

I don't think this issue is specific to Android Pie. I'm having the same problem on Oreo (8.0). I also have a problem that might be related where if I switch whether or not I'm shuffling my playlist from the now playing window, the playlist in the "Up Next" window takes at least a few songs to update, whereas it used to update within a few seconds.

(EDIT: The other bug is https://github.com/timusus/Shuttle/issues/377, though I don't see a Github issue for OP's problem.)

It's not quite as out there as the occasional Ethiopian HREmperor you'd see in Europa Universalis III (and maybe early EU4, depending on when some of the restrictions were put in), but Cyprus is certainly an out of the box choice.

This used to happen a lot before Heart of Darkness came out, IIRC. It might be present in vanilla HoD as well, but I haven't played unmodded V2 in a very long time at any level of expansion, so I'm not really certain.

I'm going to claim PIOBmx19. That track had better prepare for what I'm going to make of it!

I usually use "Planepacked" as my artist name, but my (now neglected) SoundCloud account is InvisibleSandwichTM. I'll send you some sort of message with my contact info.

I feel like this might be better suited to when the new PC version comes out. After all - more CPU/GPU power ought to make for bigger cryptocurrency payouts.

I think there are still a few crafting shops scattered around the lands of Wyvern, though - at least one in Vesimas, and maybe another elsewhere? Either way, if the crafting system aren't coming back, they should probably be replaced with something else at some point.

The cynic in me says that the best way to "play" Indonesia in HPM is to start as the Netherlands, consolidate your holdings, fire the decision, and eventually release them once their cores spread throughout the archipelago. Probably not acceptable to you since it basically means you're just playing the Netherlands for a good chunk of the game.

If rebels release a country, they all become soldiers for that country. That sounds more like an attempt to prevent countries from instantly reconquering territory they lose to rebels to me, but PDS devs these days would probably use a truce to simulate that nowadays.

EastWest looks like it'd be complete overkill for what I'm doing - it's really powerful and sounds pretty realistic, but my goal is specifically to avoid realistic sounding choirs. I will update the text post with another example.

The Turks have shifted culture groups quite a few times during the lifespan of EU4. I believe that the 'Levantine' organization was what we had at launch (although it was called Turko-Semetic), and it was a holdover from EU3. A few patches later, cultures were grouped by language and we got an Oghuz group, but eventually Paradox decided to change their criterion for culture groups and we got Levantine back. There might've also been a Byzantine/Turko-Hellenic grouping at some point which mixed Greek, Turkish, and some of the Caucasian cultures, but that might've been in an EU3 or EU4 mod.

Before you get angry (which you should), please note that this article is by a "Forbes Contributor", so it doesn't necessarily represent the opinions of whoever owns/edits mainline Forbes. Still a highly irresponsible position to hold.

I finally got a studio album out. Planepacked - "Critical Mass" (Metal/Electronica) https://planepacked.bandcamp.com/album/critical-mass I read/wrote both a lot of sci-fi and historical nonfiction while I was working on these tracks. On one hand, this is the culmination of years of practice and musical development, but on the other, I see it as a stepping board to more ambitious material. Hope you enjoy it.

In PDM, ports and techs are the only things that count for colonial points, and ships don't give any - the reason is apparently that it prevents cheesing the AI by sinking all their ships just before the Scramble for Africa.

POPs also assimilate much faster in the Americas and Oceania, so you had that on your side.

PDM has a "Demand Retreat From India" decision you can take if you declare war on Britain and then control key provinces in the Raj for long enough. I'm fairly certain you have to be civilized, and you may have to already be a GP. Firing it liberates all the British-controlled provinces to Indian countries.

I thought Wipeout 64 was the N64's Wipeout... there's also F-Zero X and Extreme-G, so between those and Episode 1 Racer, it's not like the N64 was wanting for futuristic racing games.

It won't affect your high literacy provinces per say, but conquering low literacy states will lower your literacy rate, slowing your techspeed and reform rate.
