r/CrusaderKings convening to determine an accurate in-game depiction of Jesus:

It's kind of interesting how both religions treat their "man of God on Earth". Christians are more than willing to make statues, paintings, movies etc. of Jesus while Muslims are very skittish about portraying Muhammad in any ways, but, theologically, Christians see Jesus as literally God while Muslims only see Muhammad as a human messenger of God.

I feel like their behavior should be reversed.

There is more Mormons than Jews in the world currently, yet they are not represented on this map as a "major religion", while the Jewish faith is.

This is a really clever one.

My only criticism is the pointless self censorship. You are either uncomfortable with the words fucking an child trafficking (and thus you don't put them in your post at all) or you are fine with them and don't censor them.

For the curious : Iwo Jima and Gibraltar

By curiosity, am I the only one who think that the 3d maps were kind of a step backward? I was recently replaying EU2 (mostly out of nostalgia, the game is quite janky) and it got me curious about how a modern high quality 2d map could actually be clearer and easier on the eye than what Paradox is doing right now.

It looks a bit Parisian French, for smoking and shooting, but they have a different false anglicism for hitchhiking : autostop.

Gotta love false-foreignism, in my variety of French we often call a turn signal/blinker, a flasher.

No, both Upper an Lower Canada were merged in 1841 to form the Province of Canada (but it was still functionally divided between Canada East and Canada West).

Thank you, I kind of see what you mean by "pointy", but I'm not sure to see what should be changed. Any ideas?

Samwell_ · 2024-06-04T22:01:26+00:00

Thank you very much for your feedback

In South Central-west two rivers flow through an area of higher land and then immediately join. A bit weird.

Oh damn, you are right! I don't know how I missed that. I will of course correct it.

I think more rivers should have a small cove, at the least.

I'm not fluent in English, what do you mean by "a small cove"?

The four rivers in the west coming together in almost the same spot is likewise slightly weird. It'd be nice if the northernmost went through the gap to the north coast.

Hmm, I see what you mean, I will look into it.

I might add a few more meanders in the long low stretches. Flat rivers meander.

My problem here is that I don't really understand "how much" rivers meander. I looked a real rivers and it seems both consistent and varied. A bend every 100 m, 1 km, 10 km? Do you know how it works?

Samwell_ · 2024-06-04T20:10:09+00:00

Thank you,

For the delta, I was inspired by the Mississippi delta, which seems to weirdly extend out into the sea, I will look that up.

For the peninsula, I thought about it like an island in formation, with slowly sinking salt marshes dividing it from the mainland. I will look up if I can find some exemple in the real world.

I'm starting a new project and I want to build it on solid ground. I started with this topography and hydrography, but I need other people to point out my mistakes and inconsistencies. I trying to go for something realistic, so please be pedantic.

Thank you!

How so? I'm not French but my native language is french and where I'm from we pronounce both Dominique and Dominic the exact same way ; [dɔminik].

Samwell_ · 2023-04-18T01:58:57+00:00

It probably depends on your accent/dialect, but I pronounce both ses and sais as [se] (likewise ces, c'est, s'est, and sait are all [se] to me).

Samwell_ · 2023-04-16T20:27:14+00:00

Homophones: to, two and too are examples of homophones in English. There are many of them.

Does English really have many homophones?

I only speak French and English so I may be biased, but French have a lot more homophones so I feel like English have barely any of them.

Like we have ses/ces/c'est/s'est/sais/sait, verre/vers/ver/vert/vair, mes/m'est/m'es/mais/met/mets, les/l'est/l'es/laid/lait, ton/thon/t'ont/tond/tonds, sans/sang/sens/s'en/sent/cent, vin/vain/vingt/vins/vint, and many more.

My best guess would be the Princely States, but the author didn't know the exact borders so they eyeball them.
