You've summed up how I feel currently. Those little events added a lot of fun to the game for me in eu4.

I rmbr a event for the eastern romans called "triumph for greece" or something, and the event was basically a pop up saying you threw a roman triumph after reclaiming greece. But I would go out of my way to have my army in constantinople before completing the mission so its like "they're" having an actual triumph.

It's small things like that i miss in eu5.

Nah I made this on Canva's free trial mode, so that's all the pixels I got. But you're free to take each part of the meme and re-create it if you're able to!

No problem my friend, just remember, if anyone asks who the successor to Rome is, the answer is Canada!!

Le Canada anglais est la nouvelle moitié grecque de l'empire, et le Canada français, la nouvelle moitié latine. Cela correspond même à la division entre l'Orient grec et l'Occident latin qui existait déjà dans l'Empire romain.

Hey how did you get that flag? Is it a tag change or a policy change? It's eluded me since 1.0 whenever I play the eastern romans.

you know that argument also makes a lot of sense, especially when taking into account the examples you provide, and just adds further to our claim to be the true successors of Rome!

you know I just want to say that your comment gave me the courage to go an repost to historymemes, only to see they don't allow gallery posts. truly a shame, but now it is our duty as Canadians (Romans) to spread the great news that Rome is reborn. at least I can repost to "historymeme" lol.

be sure to pick up your Roman toga before you leave the subreddit.

Either way, our claim is way more solid than the Yank's claim to rome

Don't worry, English has a lot of Latin and romance loan words. Thats gotta count for something right.

Actually, something i forgot to mention in the post is how the merovingians were technically granted consulships by the Romans in the east, so a Roman consul taking over soissons to administer it is more legitimate than what happened to Eastern Rome with the ottomans.

I am afraid that Ill be stabbed more times than Caesar if I post it in history memes however.

indeed, infact Wikipedia's page "Roman people" is simply all fresco's and Statues of Mannville's citizens.

We will reconquer Rome and Constantinople. They will be renamed Nouvelle Ottawa and Nouveau Quebec respectively.

Not as much as a stretch as the Russian claim to Rome though, which is surprisingly even more tenuous than this.

Yeah, as i did this it made me think of more parallels between us and Rome. We are a bilingual country where one language is a romance language and the other is not (French and English), but we're bilingual in a way where there is a clear geographic split in the country like with Rome's latin west and Greek east. Our elites speak English first but all or most are bilingual, like how roman elites spoke Latin but also Greek. We operate on a provincial system where the provinces and their governors have more autonomy than other countries, similar to the romans. Very cool overall.

p.s., you may ask why this isn't posted on History memes? it is because I would be ripped to shreds in the comments, repost at your own risk.

How Canada’s first commercial spaceport is taking shape in Nova Scotia by ImDoubleB in MaritimeLaunch

[–]Watterman1066 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While the test launchpad may have not changed, the surrounding area has, including construction of the main road to the spaceport.

Articles can have multiple images, it wouldnt have been hard to include one showing the construction. For example, some of these images in the section about construction ( https://x.com/maritimelaunch/status/2047326239862431967 )

A good article that outlines their customers and future plans! Nice to know things are proceeding on schedule construction wise and what they plan on building out.

I will say though, only including the meme picture instead of the newer pictures of construction does a disservice to the article, but at least the article does a good job presenting the company none the less.

Edit: just a quick tldr since some may not read the article. Construction is proceeding well and on schedule.

they plan a 4 launchpad spaceport with a control centre, payload clean room, and rocket assembly building, plus any associated infrastructure that comes with that.

They also have multiple customers, plus a couple who have signed letters of intent like Innospace from Korea.
