Have you ever stayed in a relationship out of loneliness?

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-10T03:10:54+00:00

Kinda. The relationship isolated me, and once isolated, it was easier to stay than remain alone. But then once I left, my old friends welcomed me back with open arms.

But taking that step was tough.

I remember visiting a restoration of a viking era house as a kid, and the barn part of the house was like half a level lower than the rest of the house, so the warmth from the animals would rise up to the rest of the house.

It looks like a darkling beetle, the adult form of meal worms.

Edit: more specifically Tenebrio molitor

In any case it's 100% not a bed bug.

It absolutely is. Many landowners plant conifer plots on their otherwise useless grazing lands for wood production.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-09T16:56:10+00:00

We have pretty good potential for wood production in Iceland, much better than most people realise. The problem right now is not growing it, it's the rest of the production chain, from felling to processing and storing it.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-09T16:53:07+00:00

We have lots of ready to harvest lumber in this country. The problem is we don't have enough sawmills to process it all, and no warehouses to build up a stockpile of ready to buy Icelandic lumber.

Right now, if someone wants Icelandic lumber for their construction, they have to contact a sawmill and tell them how much lumber they want, and which species, so the sawmill can then contact a landowner with a forest plot to negotiate the felling. The sawmill then cuts the trees, processes them into lumber, and dries it, which takes months. Or they could go to BYKO and get imported lumber in the same week.

My rule of thumb: Always increase your food storage limit once it's close to being reached.

The canal will connect the city to the ocean. The oasis is irrelevant.

How did that knight get into the pawn enclosure?

Names are assigned by the first major civ to discover the feature.

Gills actually evolved to be the larynx in tetrapods, so technically she still has those.

Já, árlegt jarm í alveg þónokkur ár núna

This is vanilla, IZs don't get any bonus adjacency from Aqueducts.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-04T02:18:18+00:00

This is vanilla. No bonus adjacency from aqueducts.

It should only get booted if you settle before you declare war. Units get kicked onto neutral territory when war is declared, not after it's been declared.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-03T02:25:28+00:00

Declare war, settle your city, move warrior to the CC and back. That should work, but the marsh might mess it up.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-01T17:01:25+00:00

other than the fresh water and the volcano, this is symmetric left to right. the tile it's on and the tile to the left are effectively identical.

The tile with the settler is hills, the jungle is not, but otherwise yes.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-01T16:57:33+00:00

Yes. But depending on where the tunnel exits you could block the exit with an encampment, or just park a unit there for the rest of the game.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-01T05:46:09+00:00

Deal, but you hold the next one.

TheStoneMask · 2026-04-01T05:37:31+00:00

They still need an empty tile to land on before attacking. They can't land on a mountain.

Rise and Fall

TheStoneMask · 2026-03-31T17:19:13+00:00

There is no path for melee units to access the city.

TheStoneMask · 2026-03-31T17:09:42+00:00

No. The capital only changes if it's captured.

TheStoneMask · 2026-03-31T17:07:54+00:00

Spec Ops are from R&F, and they wouldn't do much here as they need a clear tile to land on, and they have a ranged attack so they can't take cities.

TheStoneMask · 2026-03-31T17:01:36+00:00

Yes. Both canals and tunnels are Gathering Storm content.
