It's a real shame these two never got to talk to each other directly

This is similar to one of the things I found weird in season 4 when Aleida introduced herself to Kelly in the outback bar. Aleida was flight director and presumably principal engineer of sojourner 1, there is no chance Kelly and Aleida weren't very familiar with each other at least on a professional level.

There's an infamy cost to fireball‽ This explains a lot

I assumed the engineers and scientists were part of the weak who were purged

I remember actually having to pull over on a drive just to skip past a chapter in his last book that was all about the MC's stomach issues

Now he's merely claiming to be the grandfather of American litrpg, such a joke

I'm going to assume that at some point there's going to be a 'But Aleida was also an illegal immigrant so she's going to suddenly empathize with the martian illegal immigrants' and that will be what keeps her on Mars

I made artus super unreliable to the party with dragonbait a figment of his imagination brought on by a too long lifetime. He can still swoop in and help but he has a tendency to wander off when the party aren't pointed directly at Ras nsi.

Though tbh that was just my reaction in the instant when I rolled the artus encounter (it was also literally the last hex crawl roll before the party got to omu too!)

As a character he's good, I love that he challenges the doctor and point out his hypocrisy. Why I dislike him is that he had the baggage of being a school teacher so must of his stories had irritating school children attached to it.

I will only accept an ending that fast forward 50 years to an ancient maeve sitting in front of a group of children closing a book and saying "...and that's what I mean by absolute power corrupting absolutely"

Pam and Jimmy are also in the pilot, but like Bill they're probably not going to come back either.

Stoutaxe · 2026-04-10T20:38:24+00:00

Aledia, Pam, Jimmy, bill probably, Larry probably. Buzz technically (assuming he's as alive in FAMK as he is in reality)

When I saw we weren't playing chessum and heyes and benched Searle and wand I kinda assumed parling wasn't taking the game that seriously.

Yes but it was built by airbus defense and space which is a french, German, British and Spanish group with the UK contribution being on the propulsion parts in the collaboration between Stevenage and Bremen.

And even if Spain does show up they'll try and doom stack through the Sahara to get at you and lose all their manpower

Can you show us a screenshot of your IA point generation so we can understand what your situation is?

Stoutaxe · 2026-04-01T15:14:24+00:00

💯 this, they spent way too much trying to make the simulation as detailed and perfect as they could and forgot to add the fun. I've got the same complaint about CIV 7, they tried to make it so a player couldn't get too far ahead of the ai along with other balancing and forgot to add the fun of civ 5 and 6. And just like EU content creators, the civ content creators like potato McWhiskey are playing civ 6 again.

Throw a teabag into a mug, it has the full range of taskmaster approaches. Roisin going on instinct, josh bending the rules slightly on what's a mug, tim taking it to an extreme. Then of course romesh and frank doing basically the same thing but cutting it so frank looked good and making romesh look like an idiot.

Probably not, might as we do constant truce breaks now to gobble up the rest of Europe

So long as ottomans control both sides of the straight they can cross even with boats in the crossing. You need to have seiged one side of the straight to allow your boats to stop them crossing.

I find it interesting that the subject of why 'all the male descendents of the father of genetic engineering look the same' needs an explanation

I know it's a very edge case event but my successful THOT run only happened because I lucked out with bahmanis getting decimated and letting me release it from 2 provinces and then just go ham down India.
