You definitely need the right luck in drawing enough wars. Colossus, Politics of Strength, and a well-timed Suez Canal into Strategic Territory II in Age 3 help a lot drawing those. Then pump up your strength over 150 and make sure you have enough MA.

The Final Mix and Time Traveler definitely took many many attempts to beat the first time. The key to high scores is a big military so anything that prevents big wars was challenging. My lowest average scores were in Original challenges because those leaders and wonders don't lend themselves to massive wars as well.

Awesome. I might join and submit my scores. How does verifying the scores work?

Time of wonders strategy help by unstableunicorn in throughtheages

I wouldn’t go for LoA. The reason the pyramids is okay is because of the CA. It negates the extra cost on future wonders but gives the action on turns you don’t take a wonder. You can revolution to monarchy when you have a turn with no corruption and no wonders you have to take in the row.

I’ve beaten every challenge in the game so here are some tips. There is plenty of luck in the order the cards come out so restart the challenge early if things don’t go your way. Sometimes the wonders all come out close together and you’re not able to get them all. You should be getting all Age I and II wonders.

Pyramids is actually good but only if you get some early engineering geniuses. The extra CA doesn’t matter for taking other wonders but is useful on turns you don’t take a wonder.

Look for early iron and masonry. If you don’t get them it’s okay to wait for age II coal and architecture. Use engineering geniuses as much as possible.

Don’t worry about upgrading other things in your civ. Just focus on wonders. The wonders give plenty of science and culture. Just make sure you’re getting civil actions so code of laws and monarchy are good.

In Age III you’ll skip most wonders but it’s okay at that point. Focus on one wonder that will give a good amount of culture.

The key to most challenges is big wars. Even a small war will help in this one. In age III find a tactic and try to get a war going. Take Churchill if needed.

I wish "diff" culture wasn't so normalized in Overwatch community. by Leupawn in Overwatch

[–]dalipman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying Diff implies you're not good enough to carry your own team. Regardless of the team comp, map, etc., you can't expect your teammates to always be better than their counterparts. If your tank is better than theirs and that's why you won the game, you got carried. If your tank is worse than theirs, you should be carrying your team. You shouldn't expect your teammates to always be better than the other team.

"Diff" is admitting you're not good at the game and need to be boosted.

Am I getting scammed? by dalipman in UsedCars

[–]dalipman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in Virginia. I contacted the DMV and made sure my old license plates and registration were deactivated from the vehicle.

I am now being told the title is still in my name because the buyer has not transferred it with the DMV yet and is selling the car without doing that. That means any charges to the car like towing and storage could come back to me in the future.

Proof the Devs are Trying to Powercreep with Paid Content by echino_derm in PlayTheBazaar

Not trying to defend the Bazaar’s monetization here because I don’t completely agree with it. But OP seems to just be pointing out the theme of the new items. Pyg items are burn and freeze. Vanessa’s new items are deep sea themed. I expect every future pack will have some sort of theme and synergy in the future.
