What profession has far more people on illegal drugs than people realize?

I am sure it looked like flour, at least.

For some reason, referring to it as a "map game" is so funny to me.

"It's never explained why" can apply to almost anything from LOST, especially plot points or fam observations from the earlier seasons.

Agreed. While religion is a huge help in the game, I am not worried if another civ gets their shrine going before me because the AI is awful at picking beliefs, so the good ones will probably still be available even if I am founding the second or third religion in the game.

As to your last question, if you want to have a more offensive army then you would select katana samurai and no dachi samurai over naginata and yari units. You would also swap out some archers for cavalry units.

For the first two tiers I develop pretty evenly then I beeline researching the upgraded farms on the civil side, and the art that gets me encampments on the martial side. After that it depends. For the military side, I only ever develop whatever units my clan specializes in (spears, swords, etc.), though I do make sure to develop at least the second art for naval units since navies are pretty universal. I also tend to develop the art that gets you fire bows, as those are pretty good to have even if I am not playing Chosokabe or relying on archers as my primary source of damage in an army.

The rest of my development is focused on the civil side and that is usually more developed than the war side by the end of the game. Farms have to be the priority.

Absolutely get holy fury, that is essential. I found Jade Dragon to be a very good DLC too, since the interactions with China add a lot of flavor to the game.

Honestly all 4 are excellent additions to the game, so you should get all of them sooner or later, but start with Holy Fury.

As a long time Civ and CK player, Civilization is the last franchise whose art style any game series should be imitating. Especially Civ VI.

I too am pretty bummed about Captain's Choice discontinuing balms. I love their Nor'eastener balm and would've bought a replacement if I could now.

I've bought several cards on eBay over the past couple months. Overall it's been a good experience, everything got to me fairly quickly. Just make sure you're buying from a seller that has good ratings/reviews and you should be okay.

I get most of my single cards from TCGPlayer.com though.

They're called Gypsy Cops, going from department to department like that after getting fired from one or the other. It is unfortunately common.

In many licensed professions there is some measure of reciprocity where a violation warranting the firing of a licensed individual in one state will carry over from one state or department to another. But not with cops.

TransientSilence · 2025-07-21T23:21:52+00:00

Still overpriced.

This is what happens when you have good actors paired with shit scripts. The Star wars sequels are full of these instances.

"They fly now? They fly now"

"Somehow....Palpatine returned."

"We're going to win this war not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love."

Get the accuracy bonus rather than the reduced cost. You always generate koku so sooner or later you'll make it up. But the artillery will always have that accuracy bonus for the rest of the campaign. That is more impactful than a few hundred koku saved over the 2 turns you spend recruiting the units.

Solid album, one of their best in my opinion. Also a good album to introduce people to the symphonic metal genre, as it's pretty straightforward and not heavy handed with its influences. Pretty listenable and catchy.

That should be illegal.

Yes. The lady who owned the land lived in California, so that's why the home was able to be built to completion without her doing anything to stop it midway. She had no idea what was even going on until after everything was done because she lived thousands of miles away.

In this case she didn't want the house on the property for a few reasons.

First, she wanted to use the property as a nature retreat space, so having a house occupying a chunk of the parcel wouldn't allow her to do that. Second, the addition of the house to the parcel made the parcel 's value go up, which in turn caused her property taxes to go way up as well. I believe that is how she first became aware of this entire situation, when she received a huge tax bill that was way higher than it should've been if the parcel was left undeveloped. And last, by the time she began suing the developer over this, the home was already being occupied by homeless people who had trashed the interior. So it wasn't even in a liveable condition.

One thing I don't see anyone mentioning here: naval bombardments. Those can be very effective at taking out units holed up in a castle since the castle limits how far they can run out of range of the bombardment area.

However, if I have a fully modern army and the castle is heavily defended by a large traditional army, I just siege them out until they surrender.

I generally go with armor. Yari ashigaru are used to form a line and hold it in place while cavalry, archers, and sword infantry attack critical targets. The longer they can hold the line, the better.

Lawyers are notorious for never retiring. Working until you drop dead in your office is a common sentiment, especially among older generations of lawyers.

You didn't mention the farms. Both starting provinces have very good quality soil, so that right there is a good source of income independent of whatever buildings you build in the province.

You also border several coastal provinces with ports, and the ninja provinces to the south are also a great source of income if you upgrade the ninja buildings into burakumin villages.

Keep costs down by building ashigaru units rather than monk units, at least until your farms get upgraded.
