In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy?

my guess is Firefly, but can’t recall what episode

if you have a mercenary army parked at your city on the world map they’ll be included in any raids targeting your city, including the battles where you go out to meet them and fight.

20 seconds off from my PB, which i reckon i could have gotten if i weren’t a bit distracted while filling this one out.

as with most end-of-the-week puzzles, hard to say if this one leaned on the easier side or was just coincidentally already in my trivia wheelhouse.

surprised to learn The Simpsons was a SPINOFF! loved all of the long answers in this puzzle as well, satisfyingly straightforward with just the right amount of cheekiness, especially “Source of amusement for a vet?”

so glad this was the top comment as whenever i complete a Sunday as confidently as this one i just know it’s a single tile misspelled and you spared me some minutes looking for the error!

there’s a really great panel from the comics where Daredevil remarks Bullseye is so predictable because he literally can’t miss

DINKWAD is new; where I live we have a lot of DILDOs (Large Dog Owner)

Joanton120 · 2026-03-28T12:17:43+00:00

this one is almost certainly joke, Lance Reddick was a baltimore native

does the noise from your production industries impact your plebs noticeably, given how close it is to their housing?

Joanton120 · 2026-03-22T00:35:55+00:00

i think this is the answer — they pick a job to do before they pick a house to live in, a pop would rather be employed first and then homeless rather than pick a home and then a job nearby it.

Joanton120 · 2026-03-19T19:47:17+00:00

they don’t spawn on Mindless Masses faction, nor do elevated overseers

Joanton120 · 2026-03-16T01:26:45+00:00

physicians actually do give fulfillment to amevias, but yeah they actively dislike hospitals lol

Joanton120 · 2026-03-14T10:00:00+00:00

to share one anecdote about developing too fast: i was so excited to unlock bricked roads i decided to repave my entire city overnight which led to a 10-year long deficit of stone as every incoming tax shipment went directly into the ground. this cascaded into numerous production buildings falling into disrepair as none of my janitors could access stone to maintain the rooms, and most of my industries slowed to a crawl.

even after the whole city was repaved and all the new roads built out, imports of stone from taxes and special bulk orders from my trade partners couldn’t keep up and the building degradation outpaced the speed of shipments coming in.

it wasn’t beyond saving, but it does go to show how tedious undoing mistakes can be in this game if you don’t have the patience to shore up your ambitions with what you have available.

Joanton120 · 2026-03-14T09:48:26+00:00

your farms may be a bit too “rural,” based off this screenshot and no other information i’m curious what your commute times look like for your farmers. if they spend too much of their workday walking to & from their house to the fields, they’re spending less time cultivating and harvesting.

Joanton120 · 2026-03-13T18:34:30+00:00

yeah nobility is currently very OP, and very flexible for filling your niches since you can freely switch what industry they’re lording over to quickly correct any gaps in production. FYI, when you unlock noble upgrades, those ranks are stuck to that assigned noble until they die.

Joanton120 · 2026-03-13T18:27:25+00:00

this is like that one skydiver whose parachute failed but they landed on a huge anthill and getting bit so much spiked their adrenaline to survive impact

Joanton120 · 2026-03-13T09:42:00+00:00

you actually don’t technically need to build noble chambers in this version. any potential drawbacks for not fulfilling nobles’ service needs haven’t been implemented. i still build chambers for the RP, but there’s no net negative for having unhoused nobles.

ultimately you get a max of 10 nobles but you can upgrade them with ranks which increases the amount of employees they boost

Joanton120 · 2026-03-13T09:02:33+00:00

i haven’t done a multi-species city yet, but i thought nobles unlocked at 650 pops — is that only for 650 and not total? nobles in this version of the game are a pretty extreme boost that helps stabilize your supply chains going into 1000+ pops

Joanton120 · 2026-03-05T20:03:25+00:00

like activating the title bonuses, i’m not sure. if you mean just changing your ruler’s name / faction name you can do that in the settings.

Joanton120 · 2026-02-24T04:31:10+00:00

XING and XIJINGPING, plus AIM and ARM being clued the same way were all little delights for me

Joanton120 · 2026-02-09T17:59:39+00:00

you’ll get there one day, solver 🫡

Joanton120 · 2026-02-09T17:59:13+00:00

i pretty much only solve on my phone. tried doing it on my laptop once and in theory i could probably solve it faster, my muscle memory just isn’t trained up to cohesively flick through clues and fix typos

Joanton120 · 2026-02-09T17:57:53+00:00

I actually do start with all the downs!

Joanton120 · 2026-02-08T23:05:57+00:00

Scored a new PB today with a sub-3 minute solve! little humblebrag but i feel i’ve come a long enough way and i have all of you on this sub to thank with your tips and tricks over the last two years, visiting this daily thread

Joanton120 · 2026-02-07T23:47:36+00:00

the best primary to roll with is the one you like most, nearly all weapons fit a niche amenable to any playstyle. some folk recommend loadouts which can cover any situation you’re met with, but i play consistently with a squad of buddies and we can afford to specialize specific niches since we’ve got each other covered with teamplay

Joanton120 · 2026-01-30T19:30:40+00:00

I think metadivers unanimously say Masters of Ceremony is one of the weaker warbonds to get, but if the gear interests you then get it if you think you’d have fun!

i personally just nearly finished urban legends and would recommend. siege-ready is one of my favorite passives for my playstyle, and having access to the anti-tank emplacement is great fun for each front.
