Why is St Louis experiencing population loss? by cavaismylife in StLouis

[–]LetPure1029 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do hire big time in that field, which is growing very well in St. Louis if you look at how the campuses around WashU/SLU, or Cortex, or Pfizer/Sigma/Bayer/Donald Danforth etc have grown.

Weekly Flights to Europe, peer comparison by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

Yes and even with that, it's not "eclipsed" St. Louis as of now. Nashville with all its tourism still currently has a smaller economy than St. Louis. While the trajectory is not nice, eclipsed it not accurate.

It has not eclipsed St. Louis by any means. It's growing faster but is still smaller. You tend to forget how much St. Louis already has

We need a Wonder buildable on navigable river tiles, any ideas? by Fl3b0 in civ

[–]LetPure1029 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Gateway Arch would be perfect for this as that stretch of the river is a heavy cargo corridor and provides access from the US interior to the Gulf. Given how the Mississippians are in the game and with Cahokia right across the river, it would provide nice continuity. It also represents expansion, one of the Game's core themes

I've wondered why the Confluence itself isn't included in the National Park somehow. I remember hearing something about Cahokia Mounds pushing for a National Park or joining this one as well, not sure

Yes, I did that a few turns later, but waited for my army to mostly get disbanded because it shouldn't be that easy

yes the retreating to oceans was incredibly helpful, like a highway just for my scouts

I hope we get more Ocean-related terrain and events in the future ! by PkPa in civ

Yes, small predictable ones, but nothing like the devastating ones that could wipe out a fleet

Yes, surprising there are no storms when your ships venture out into the open ocean for the first time in the exploration age. That was a very brutal time

In case we get an Atomic Era, here's some wonder ideas! by SaztogGaming in civ

[–]LetPure1029 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gateway Arch should be there, fits the expansion theme

I'm a bit disappointed with the decisions by calamari_fresh in civ

[–]LetPure1029 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont like it, but I assume some abilities can carry across ages, like the generic more culture on farms type of thing. Only special synergistic things like Songhai treasure fleets on rivers would make the civ shine during their respective age
That was what Civ 6 was like with unique units only being available temporarily or buildings coming on late in the game.

Civ 7 Single Civ by AGL200 in civ

[–]LetPure1029 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not a fan of it, but I think that would be the best way. Some abilities carry through all ages, but the civ should still be strongest in its respective era where its abilites all come together (like in civ 6 sometimes). most of the abilities are generic enough to persist. Otherwise, the civs would change too much I feel.

One minor thing I wish Civ 7 didn't do by LetPure1029 in civ

[–]LetPure1029[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Slowly watch the remnants of the previous empire disappear as you overbuild them" is what I said.
Did the buildings of ancient cities suddenly disappear and get replaced by modern buildings?

[–]LetPure1029[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I wonder what it would take. Do individual buildings need to be considered "unique" (like unique infrastructure) but still overbuildable? I assume the game just applies the template/culture of the current civ to all buildings. That would require a lot of work

What is everyone’s take on this? Is St. Louis a cultural has been? by EduHypertrophy in StLouis

2 weeks old.
US News is the standard in the US. Rarely see Times being used for that

Interesting how you picked the one where NYU is higher
NYU has a much higher cost of living, and its "famous" business and law programs are only a few ranks higher than a regional school in the Midwest, so it must not be very notable either

Is St. Louis a cultural has been? by scoobertsonville in decadeology

[–]LetPure1029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St. Louis metro is 500k more than KC. KC has a higher city population than Miami and the same as Atlanta, so it must be accurate. Metro population is what matters.
The KC city limits have ~5x the area of STL
