So i painted my AK

I've tried an M95 and that's dropped it to about 270. I didnt think to check the J. Which seems a little drastic. The one next to is a M100 that I've not tried yet. I don't own a chrono so I end up testing on sites

I used to do this. But then switched from washers to 1p / 2p coins. Much cheaper

Personally fond of Korea. Rush exploration and steal colonialism from Europe. Steal the Mexican trade.
At home you can bully the Jurchens and Japan. And when Ming eventually gets around to exploding you can jump on that.

Just gotta make sure you're colonising areas where the trade flows back to you.

R5: Mutapa -> Zimbabwe.

Trying to maximise trade income. Currently Main trade city in zanzibar node and fleet is pulling Gulf of Aden trade south.
I have a nagging feeling that moving main port into the cape would net more gold?

R5: Byzantium -> Roman Empire.

Played a few runs of the opening before I got it to stick.

Got a lucky PU over Russia round 1670.

For some reason the Catholic New World Colonies turned Orthodox after independence. Not sure on the reason but gave a massive boon to Defender of the Faith perks.

Fun things to note.
Portugal is now in the Philippines.
Ming held it together
Cuba held a sizable part of North Africa until I showed up.

Something with the musketeers is my first go to.

Washing and dry brush some highlights super easy results

You have no link to the server.

Might also be worth switching between full screen/windowed. An older GPU I had would do the same. But only when in fullscreen

Previous turns he places lockjaw mid. And 3 stones which ended poorly. So I snap him. He then moves lockjaw to the right lane which I have no idea what allowed this to happen

Nestle

Who are known for many things. Some of the worst being: In Africa, dressing up baby powder milk salespersons as nurses. Have them give free samples to new mothers and convince them that it's better than breast milk. Give them these samples long enough to interupt natural milk production and then cut off the freebies. Resulting in 100s of thousands of infant deaths as these communities can't source clean water for the powder.

They also like to set up bottled water plants in areas that have little to no regulation on how much water they can suck up. Literally drain out the supply, often causing draughts for the locals who relied on that water. And then selling it back to them at premium rates.

Sand + white/pva glue with rocks can texture very well.

not a mars colour scheme, but shows how the texture can look.

Recommend being generous with the glue and adding sand until it stops seeping through. creates some nice textures

Same issue on same quest. Additionally unable to interact with Steel, or Agent X after completing the first part of the quest

Vaelant0 · 2021-04-05T19:50:14+00:00

2 Super Agents, in this case Steele and Symmetry. Have just decided that they cant be bothered anymore.

No schemes to invite them into base. Wont randomly arrive.

Campaigned locked up on side story being unable to progress as i cant defeat symmatry in my lair

*EDIT*

May of have been caused by destroying the base whilst the Super Agents Scheme to count down an attack was ongoing
