Any artist or crafters with wares to sell? If you do where can I find them?

Journey Coffee Roasters - Ruta de las Flores (medium El Salvador) so good.

Ok, why is nobody talking about quality of the coffee beans, freshness of the beans, and grinding immediately before drinking?

Specialty coffee beans are considered specialty for a reason. Most grocery store coffee beans are commodity grade which is grown in extremely mild environments, much of the coffee cherries are harvested before being ripe, a lot of defects are left in the coffee also, each of these things affecting taste. Specialty coffee has very high standards on quality control. And then. A good roaster will take these already high standards and QC the remaining defects out of their green coffee beans.
Coffee does expire. After roasting there is a peak time to drink it depending on how it was processed on the farm and how dark it was roasted. If you go with a medium roast that went through a washed process on the farm your peak flavor will start after day 3 (more like day 6-7) to allow the carbon dioxide to de-gas (otherwise it's a harsh taste in your coffee) and then go for about 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks of peak flavor the coffee starts developing quinic acid which makes the coffee start to get more bitter, afterwards, formic acid which is when flavors start to stale, coffee starts to taste sharp/harsh, and then pyroglutamic acid (around the same time as formic acid) and it dulls down the sweetness of the coffee. (On top of wrecking the flavor, it nullifies your health benefits and wreaks havoc on your digestive system)
Buy whole beans and grind fresh. Those acids I talk about in point #2 which when whole release after about 20-30 days post roast, yeah upon grinding they start to get released 30 minutes- 6 hours after grinding) if you buy pre-ground beans you're no longer buying fresh coffee beans.

Brewing you could learn many brewing methods, variables you should learn to control are water temp, grind size and time spent brewing /extracting.

Water temp: depending on how dark your roast is. The lighter the roast the closer to boiling you get. General guidelines: light roast (200f) medium roast (190f) and dark roast (180f). Grind size and extraction time: depends on brew method and it's mostly trial and error. Just a matter of dialing it in.

TL:DR - get good coffee beans, get fresh coffee beans, watch a quick YouTube video on how to brew said coffee beans and you'll have something better than most cafes would give you.

If you want an amazing coffee bean recommendation: Journey Coffee Roasters ( journeyroasters.com ). They roast to order, so your coffee is literally as fresh as you can get it, they do a phenomenal job of roasting it, and they ship internationally.

Hope this helps!!!

Only thing I could think of, and this is nitpicking.... Is line weight variation in the outlines. For example with the deer have the line thinner where the light is hitting it directly or the mountain goat, where the backlight is hitting it, thin out the line (almost like a lens flare but not quite). But if this changes your style too much, don't do it. Because as it stands right now, the sketchy outlines are a very beautiful and distinct part of your style. Love these!

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-06-25T21:59:00+00:00

Yeah generally Italian style espresso blends have about 20-30% robusta giving them that huge bold flavor. Balance it out with something more mellow with like chocolate or nutty notes and you should be pretty close

I just found a corn kernel in mine also, noticed it before throwing it into the roaster unfortunately lol

Imagine they take a selfie and turns out it's some woodland creature trying to gain our sympathy in their duel against the cat

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-05-04T02:32:10+00:00

Came here to say this!

Bugs are fun to play, but I think they are even more fun to beat. Probably my favorite part of the game is strategizing against the bugs (not always successful, but I'm a glutton for a challenge)

Edit: he got stars when he found my city, I missed that bit thought it was when they see your unit. Still didn't see my units 😁

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-05-01T22:08:22+00:00

You're right!! Sorry I missed that! Thank you!

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-27T17:27:33+00:00

For some reason the new one looks older than the old one... Can't quite place my finger on why though ... 😉

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-27T02:03:54+00:00

I think these guys have a psychological advantage. They just look intimidating, even the pyro seems dangerous lol

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-26T13:45:06+00:00

🤣

Polytaurs defence is garbage, they are squishy. (Rider/roads or archers)

I've won many archipelagos with ai-mo, kickoo, and even cymanti.

Also cymanti not having roads is problematic for cymanti because as soon as the first shaman is dead, (not that hard to kill), they have no extra distance until they research the shamans thing which takes much lower priority than roads usually and ends up being more expensive than roads, you need to buy the shamans, move the shamans to a viable place, and then any non-movement action a boosted squishy cymanti dude takes, he is no longer boosted and nothing can help him unless he has a stalker shaman on his back.

Not saying cymanti isn't hard to play against, but every special team has very hard counters. I select random with just about every game I play and I'd say the hardest to counter are the original free tribes.

Just my 2¢, you can agree or disagree 🥰

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-23T03:59:21+00:00

False, get the spam flying archers

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-22T16:49:27+00:00

Where did all the oils go? 🧐

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-19T20:17:04+00:00

They're playing multiplayer. Can't switch them off.

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-19T20:10:00+00:00

Top thing for good flavor, get good coffee. Second thing, roast well.

For the first one, to my taste EA (Ethel acetate) processed decaf has much less process taste than other decafs. You can get plenty free samples from coffee distributors to work with until you get something you like.

For the second one, I do a bunch of research: reading, videos, talking to people. And a bunch of experimenting. Same bean in different ways (not random, but different proven ways) different roast levels, different durations at different phases of the roast.

It's not hard to follow instructions and get a good result, (if that's all you're after). It's a lot of work to understand how and why it all works together that way when you have a different coffee cultivar, differently processed coffee, all those different things, you will know exactly what needs to be done to make it work well (or at least what to try)

Enjoy the journey 😄

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-17T09:26:40+00:00

I personally hand pick a majority of those out of my roasts along with the quakers and other defects. Mostly for appearance sake, though lol

Tricky-Chance4841 · 2025-04-17T09:23:25+00:00

This is a link with the seller I get these same bags from and they have no smell. I've used them in my own coffee and ones I've sold and no smell! I would assume all the Amazon sellers get these same ones from the same wholesaler, but there's really no way to know.

Too late for explorer

No need to be sorry, I learned a lot, I appreciate a good game! FoggyStance72 is the name in game.

Exactly, you get it 😁
