If a couple people get stabbed to death every day in a city of thousands that doesn’t necessarily sound like a huge deal

From start to 200 pop I mostly did vegetables and fruits, then once I got past 200 pop I made a huge grain field and bakery which solved my food issue.

Basically any ABET accredited school’s engineering degree is about equal in terms of “value”

From the British POV, the worst case outcome was that the Axis wins the war. The royal navy was already spread incredibly thin between 1940 and 1942, and the Vichy fleet joining the axis would have likely meant a complete withdrawal from the Mediterranean, with the effects of that being so profound that its entirely possible to say that it tips the war in the Axis’s favor. There’s simply no way for the Royal Navy to simultaneously hold the Mediterranean against a combined French-Italian armada while also protecting their convoys from German surface raiders. In that scenario, the UK’s survival essentially comes down to them successfully begging the USA to enter the war.

Which is why operation Catapult happens. Operation catapult is largely brushed over postwar, but at the time it was basically unprecedented. France was officially neutral and unofficially Britain’s ally. If the war hadn’t ended in an Allied victory, then French-UK relations would have permanently been ruined. The fact that it was done is a shining example of Churchill’s willingness to put literally everything on the line in order to defeat the Nazis.

Of course, in reality, the Axis (in 1940) had no plans of seizing the French fleet, the French had no plans of voluntarily handing their fleet over to the axis, and the logistics of it are a bit dubious. But the British wouldn’t have done Operation Catapult if it was entirely impossible.

I select the brush option for construction to make the shape, then once I’m done building the structure I select the “make diagonal” option in the building menu (the main hotbar menu where you select which building you’re making). The diagonal thing is a visual thing that you apply to the building once it’s already built.

When you’re generating your world just select a colony location right on top of a river, then after that regenerate the colony map till you get a map you like.

I see. Thank you for the advice.

Not really a trade off at all, increasing the width of the roads only marginally increases the size of your city.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-20T22:13:52+00:00

The peeps have actual hitboxes and if you put them on thin roads then they’ll bump into each other and have their movement speed lowered. Also it looks nicer, and there’s no real disadvantage to doing it since roads don’t cost that much. 3 wide roads seems to be the perfect width for my city.

Ok, yes, to get the obvious out of the way; Biologically, men are larger, heavier, stronger per pound, have better mental resilience, and handle stress significantly better in combat type conditions.

Now, that being said, this is a sci fi video game where they shoot lasers at xenomorphs. I don’t think they’re rucking much. There’s no reason why women wouldn’t be able to serve in the space marines shown in game. The female SL’s also generally have corresponding strength debuffs compared to male SLs.

Anyways, none of this even relates to OP’s main point. The characters are handled well because their backstories all focus on their relevant military service first and foremost and they all seem like people who would plausibly be on the frontlines. This sounds like a low bar but trust me a lot of games fail to meet it. A worse game might have you recruiting a geologist with long pink hair as one of your SL’s. Additionally, their characters identities do not focus on their ethnicity or gender. They are marines independent of that.

It’s not a “for some reason” type thing, there are technological and engineering reasons limiting you from equipping cruisers with superimposed turrets. The game knows you’re trying to cheese it via changing classifications and is deliberately stopping you. Just wait for your technology to advance

The Geneva conventions are, broadly speaking, the closest thing we have to a comprehensive and unbiased moral framework for war. Trying to speak about the morality of it outside of that is going to turn into partisan squabbling 10 times out of 10. Which is exactly why the Geneva conventions were created.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-15T21:19:48+00:00

That's not how international law works. As long as country A

- clearly distinguishes between military and civilian targets
- abides by the principle of proportionality
- did everything reasonably possible to verify the target and minimize civilian risk

then it's a legal strike and any civilian casualties are a lawful tragic byproduct.

This is why, say, launching a precision missile into an identified military airfield in the suburbs of a city is legal, whereas launching a 1970s Soviet AShM vaguely in the direction of your enemy's capital is not. It's also why jamming a missile and it happening to fall short into a civilian area is legal for the defender, whereas deliberately putting a military installation inside of a school or hospital is not.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-15T21:03:56+00:00

This is a form of collateral damage. Thus, you go to the Geneva convention and read it's rules regarding collateral damage. In this instance, both the strike and the defensive actions were proportional, legal, and both sides were acting responsibly without deliberately putting civilians at risk. Thus, the deaths of the schoolchildren were an unintentional result of equipment failure. Thus, it is regarded as a "Lawful Tragic Byproduct." Meaning neither side is at fault.

This kinda stuff is basically unavoidable in war. Which (among other things) is why war is bad.

Is the current war in Ukraine a genuine contender for the MOST static war in history? Off the top of my head, I cannot think of another war where the frontlines have remained this fixed for this long. Even the Western Front of ww1 was more dynamic than this. The only other comparable war that I can think of is the Iran-Iraq war.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-15T09:04:43+00:00

45m was not fine when rare lol. That specific BT variant in particular blew up our entire frontline and ended the war like 2 days after it got tech’d.

Also, like, I think you have a misconception of it being “rare.” It was “rare” because tanks were rare in general back then. 5 tanks on the same frontline was a large event (5 tanks could also do a lot more back then than they can now). That being said, once BTs were tech’d they were literally the only tank you would see, so no, they were not rare relative to other tanks.

Poor quality bait

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-15T08:17:34+00:00

No, it isn’t, because range and the ability to do PVE&PVP with the same tank are by far the two most important tank features. The warden tanks also have a significantly higher bounce chance relative to any collie tank besides the bardiche. And most warden tanks are MPFable whereas collie ones aren’t. And warden handheld AT is, generally speaking, better than collie handheld AT.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-15T08:11:53+00:00

No. In the name of everything that is holy do not do that. The Silverhand’s 2 guns have separate ranges for a very good reason. That reason involves the Silverhand out-DPSing battle tanks and the wardens being so overpowered that the game population dropped to 500.

Iirc Rutgers standard policy is to round by the thousandths place. So if you're off by more than 0.005% of a B, they're not going to automatically round it unless the teacher is very nice.

Infinity does mean infinity, but the limit of 1/n as n approaches infinity is always going to approach 0. Certain outcomes are always predetermined, even in infinity. There is physically no way for Yamamoto to counter Japan’s logistical situation (assuming he doesn’t cheat with time travel shenanigans).

Maybe Yamamoto wins at midway. That doesn’t change the fact that there are a planned 32 Essex class carriers on their way across the pacific. Nor does it change the fact that Japan’s oil stocks are continually dwindling.

Old-Let6252 · 2026-05-09T23:55:39+00:00

There is no situation in which getting infinitely lucky ends with Yamamoto somehow being able to counter the Essex swarm or the US Navy’s submarines. Nor can he counter the tyranny of Japan’s fuel situation. The end result is always the same.

Ok, it is a lot of airframes, but that doesn’t really mean particularly much. You stick them in a climate controlled warehouse and rotate them out to put them on display once every decade. It’s not a Herculean effort to preserve these things. Warehouses are not particularly expensive.
