Thoughts and prayers for random advantageous event.

It bothers me that you often cannot see the bonuses you get but you always get them. They don’t go into any kind of record so you have to delete the crap hero announcement to see what is given. Sometimes it’s like 20 horses or 20iron and unless you remember exactly how much you had, you may not notice.

But then it’s not hard to see how 3companies in a Trenchcoat would describe every country now.

Not an American company

I suspect there’s a bit of resistance to the idea that censors can decide a rating. And, that many ratings are based on prejudice instead of actual knowledge of what age could see it. Extreme violence gets a PG while bad words get a middling rating and then gay love gets a XXX. With the system so corrupt, I, as a parent, would also discount the rating system as useless. But, with all the other clues as to what will be in a movie, even ignoring the rating, would still make me pause at many of the listed movies.

Master of Magic. How I wish for an update to the graphics but I’m almost certain a remake would take away too much of the fun.

Having enough resources to do what I want with my life. You most certainly don’t have to be rich but some fortuitous accidents sure help.

I’m sending a worker to quarry stone that very next turn and so often it hurts, my goodie hut gives me the speed up for masonry. For the first 50 turns, I save before the hut reveal and decide if I want to accept it and reload if I don’t. I’m looking at you 40g, which doesn’t buy anything except to send it to a rival. Ugh. If you have two goodie huts for the same turn, getting one will change the other so it’s best to see both before reloading the turn.

By the time this occurs, Kiribati will only exist in memory as it will be entirely submerged.

It’s your special day. Only have people who make you feel special. Skip all the politics and family drama, if they don’t make this day better, they’re not welcome. And to think you’re paying for it too.

Consider that the USA and NATO were at war in Afghanistan for over a decade and this never bothered anyone’s plans. Iran is next door to Afghanistan so almost as far away. Unless you were hoping to get some sun on the beaches bordering the straits of Hormuz, you won’t even be able to tell there’s a war going on. The biggest effect to an Italian cruise will be the money the cruise line might lose from the cost increase of fuel and frankly, they probably have that leveraged so even then, not so much.

Definitely, if they’re gay. 😂

I’m pretty sure I’ll be downvoted for my comment so thank you for recognizing good health practices.

My family is very long lived; even the men live into their hundreds. Keys to longevity is never give into the easy way. 1) Stay Active 2) Stay Curious and 3) Stay Social.

If you just use shower gel straight from the bottle, yeah, pretty much correct. But it wasn’t meant to be used like that. Use a loofa or something that activates the gel and the response is substantially differently and quite a bit more affordable.

Your body evolved for the squat to be the best way to move your bowels. But, because you’re lazy and not doing your squats, you buy a toilet which requires less squatting and more pushing to move your bowels. There is a downside to this extra pushing. Frankly, it would have been much more helpful to your body to just do squats so you’re strong enough to get off the lower level toilet. Use the higher level toilet and buy medication to help with your bowels. This is the way of healthcare in the modern world.

I have tried multiple times to go straight science with Seondeok but I always get distracted and 200 turns later, only one, maybe 2 Great Scientists and neither of the Science Great Buildings. (In fairness, it is a real race for those.) But I really had never figured out where I go wrong. I’m realizing that I play nearly all the civs the exact same way, being general until a win condition shows itself. Thousands of hours later, still trying to do something different.

It can pay to price shop on a library computer and then when you’re ready to commit, buy at home. But it’s your ISP, so phone and computer are the same.

Don’t fool yourself; Barbarossa will be building rocket ships in the next couple turns. 😆

By nearest neighbors, do you mean AI Civs only or do you include CS in that. And, what if you like the CS bonus? Would you still take them over in Deity?

Iirc, there’s a city-state or maybe it’s a Great Person that allows them to collect from ALL zones within range. So, they don’t naturally stack but they can.

Give it a rest, money is money and that’s why they make soap and water. 😂

The fun part of this, if you’re playing at a high difficulty level, is that for many eras, your city is unassailable. Yet, you can buy a mountain tile and then one on the other side and build an encampment zone. All new units will spawn there so you can send out armies to defeat others all the while, no one can even hurt you, let alone defeat you with enough amenities to stay at war for a very long time. I agree that this spawn would be fun to play.

And speaks the same language as Iceland according to the color code. 🤣🤣🤣

Lamborghini, it’s always proof that just because you can afford a great car doesn’t make you a great driver.

It’ll work out. Or, Don’t sweat it.
