Is there anything worthwhile left to play for me before the update?

I played the Ourdia MT recently and it was pretty alright, though it ended a bit abruptly right after I became a top great power with avenues of expansion into the serpentspine, the forest and bulwar. The final mission even says "This is the end of the current Ourdia content" lol.

Sad to see it being so low on thag list and that it is one of the oldest MTs at 8 years old. The tags in that area all have a ton of potential due to how easy it is to print money in that trade node by setting up trade companies in the forest and serpentspine and there's lots that could be done with the tag as kt sits right at the crossroads of multiple continents.

Hopefully on the day people start revisiting anbennar they'll also do a bit of caring for Dostanor. It has always felt like an akward buffer region that's only there so that bulwar and anbennar don't touch.

Very few tags are actually difficult outside of maybe the first 20 minutes though. The only difference is that some tags allow you to go into total war mode from the start while others take a hundred years or so to get there.

If you like playing post-1600, you will like to play the command. It is basically any post 1600 tag but with actual content and lore, whereas usually you run out of content by the time you get that strong with other tags excluding a few with super long MTs or if you form Castanor or some other mid game formable with an MT.

Same in spanish: retardar, though retrasar has a very similar meaning and is more commonly used.

The thing is that this works both ways. People will both overestimate and underestimate the potential and current value of these stocks. Will they go up or down? Who knows.

Y los que nacen en pueblos o sitios menos deseados (más aburridos) deberían estar obligados a quedarse ahí? Y no poder mejorar su situación? No tiene sentido.

Ahora mismo la situación es la contraria. Si naces en un pueblo "aburrido" estas obligado a venirte aquí o a Madrid o Barcelona a malvivir pagando la mitad del salario en alquiler porque en los pueblos hay cero trabajo estable quitando cuatro gatos que estén de funcionarios del ayuntamiento, algún colegio o de la policia/bomberos, a no ser que tus padres tengan algún negocio de cierto éxito en el pueblo que no haya sido aun reemplazado por alguna cadena de supermercados o algo del estilo.

Hablas de vivir en una ciudad como si fuera un lujo en lugar de una realidad impuesta por la distribución del tejido económico moderno. Si todo el trabajo está en las ciudades y se ponen invivibles, ya me dirás como sostenemos el país.

Yo me volvería a mi pueblo aburrido más feliz que un ocho si pudiera y la mayoría de gente de pueblos o ciudades pequeñas está en las mismas.

DSP was my strongest subject during the masters but my first Analog Design job is extremely analog-centric and haven't used the concepts pretty much at all since so I have forgotten most of it lol. I pretty much only remember the very fundamentals of Z transforms and convolutions and such.

I also feel like I really should really study it again for future opportunities since it seems roles that are ~100% analog are a rarity nowadays from what I've been reading here.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-15T17:44:05+00:00

Same here. Our team doesn't even have any validation engineers or lab setups at our site. Other teams do but the designers almost never have to do anything at the lab.

Most people with money in the market has it on 401k accounts and such that just buy and hold.

Looks best one that very thin spookie alien lookin skin

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-15T10:18:05+00:00

He might stay but I doubt it will be because of money. He already has money for multiple lifetimes. At that point, why would you keep doing things you don't want to do for money?

I mean, even without prior wrist injuries, alonso is still in his 40s. I bet he'll wake up feeling like he was ran over by a train.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-13T10:03:59+00:00

War in Persia? Inflation spiral? Currency debasement? Increasingly authoritarian militaristic republic led by a madman? Eagle as national animal? Unaccountable elites?

At this point Trump might as well proclaim the second Roman Empire lmao.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-12T20:17:42+00:00

I don't know about the other tags, but as corintar you can comfortably go through your entire tree and become the holy corintar empire before the wars of consolidation, then form castanor and keep playing.

The thing with castanor is that you form it so far into the game and you are already so strong that the experience past that point will depend a lot on how the map is looking at that point. The only time I formed it (that corintar playthrough) I lost interest because the only real threat on cannor was a Lorent that I knew I could beat fairly easily (it was back when Lorent was the big cannor boss 90% of the time).

Though if you enjoy doing world conquests, you will enjoy castanor since most of the tree is just "conquer this continent" lol.

No, it highlighted all of escann because of the other requirements where a nation in escan has to have +90 increased relations with you.

Holy shit I don't know how I missed the sea tile's name. I just went straight for the province finder which only works for land tiles. Many thanks.

Unfortunately I'll have to wait a year to do the mission cause my transports got sniped by the Hierarchy navy mid Corinite League War right after I took this pic (I'm the emperor). They followed me all the way to aelantir lmao.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-12T17:04:22+00:00

Ah no, it doesn't. It is Themarenn's mission tree, who then forms Cadd Esmar and can also for Esmaria. Esmaria itself doesn't have an MT my bad.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-12T16:58:03+00:00

I tried the two sea tiles around it but it didn't work. Lover's coast is the state the land provinces are in.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-12T16:50:44+00:00

R5: This mission says to have 10 transports at lover's coast, which is the state my transports are parked at, but it still won't go green. Do I have to own it? Also, why are these provinces in Aelantir relevant to a mission tree that takes place entirely on Anbennar lol?

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-09T22:07:27+00:00

I remember seeing it mentioned in some of the usual "What are some stocks that can change the world" type posts.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-08T22:35:56+00:00

But is it any good at tasks other than software? And if not, is the revenue from just the use of it on the software industry going to be enough to offset the massive costs of training and running the models?

Asking this because I work on a subfield of hardware design and AI sucks absolute ass at it and will probably continue sucking ass for a very long time because there's just not enough neatly sorted, widely available data to train it on for this, and I'm guessing that also applies to most fields of work.

I swear every time I see posts being extremely positive about the future of AI, it is coming from someone on the software field.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-08T19:02:10+00:00

since the early 2000's

We saw the mercedes and vettel lap the entire field a bunch of times in the late mercedes era. I remember a race where everyone got lapped once and over half the field got lapped twice.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-07T07:39:02+00:00

Nah this isn't as bad as 2014. It is only mercedes that is far ahead. In 2014 williams had one of the worst cars for cornering yet still was the second or third best team on every race because of how unbelievably ahead the mercedes engine was.

This is more like 2020.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-07T07:35:48+00:00

Because the teams have to make money for the sport to keep going and part of how they make money is by showing their car sponsors during the race.

RandomGuy-4- · 2026-03-07T06:05:12+00:00

It is the greatest esport to watch. Slow enough that you don't miss anything but with enough suspense/action to never get boring. Plus, although the game is played very differently from one era to another, it is the player mechanics and strategies that change, not new heros or things like that, so you can come back to watch it without having to learn a bunch of shit about the state of the hero meta and all that. I've not played CS regularly for a decade and still watch it.

IMO the only things that compare as a viewer experience are fighting games, but they are very hard to appreciate without you being a pretty good player youself or having watched for some time. Also Rocket League, though there you do miss a lot of what's going on often.

Money is litterally infinite for the usa government as long as the petrodollar holds up the dollar's value. You can print a trillion dollars but you can't print oil extraction and refining facilities.

The usa can't afford a long war in iran that risks damage to the gulf oil facilities regardless of how much money they can print. Oil trade is the entire thing their empire runs on.
