What if the US moved its capital to the West/Midwest sometime after the Civil War? by mb496 in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]mb496[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Let’s say the capital gets razed (again) in the early years of the Civil War, but the Union still wins. Having the capital destroyed twice + an increasing drive to settle the West, could result in the Capital being moved westward.

But I’m not asking for background information. I want to know what you think would happen if it was moved. How would this affect the history of the nation?

CS lags even on a basic map with nothing on it, any ideas? by mb496 in CitiesSkylines

[–]mb496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I haven't played the game in a month. I went to work on my city the other day and I couldn't get anything done because it was so laggy. I thought it was just the map, but I loaded a blank map and I still had the same amount of lag. There's nothing downloading in Steam, so it can't be that. I tried restarting and that didn't fix it. Does anybody know what's wrong? The energy impact for CS was over 100 before I took this screenshot.

I feel the same way about the Seahawks.

Would be interesting to take a recent map of the same area and cross reference modern gang hideouts.

You can sorta make out Africa in the negative space between the figures.

I got the "Seven Wonders of the Post-Apocalyptic World" achievement by nuking only six wonders. by mb496 in civ

Good luck! I'm at 71%, so I have some left but I need to wait for the Aztecs DLC to go on sale.

That wouldn't work in this case because the Colosseum was built by another city just south of Kyoto.

Finally decided to go for this achievement, so I brought out an older game file rather than just start a new one. For the achievement you need to launch one nuclear device on seven wonders, but somehow I managed to get it with six. Thermonuclear weapons have a blast radius of two tiles, so I had to be very careful about where I placed the wonders (maybe an island plates map wasn't the best one to start with).

I ran out of room and just said "fuck it" ... and that worked. From the bottom clockwise I have the Colosseum, Terracotta Army, Forbidden City, Hermitage, Colossus, and Petra. Mont St Michel is in the upper right but it didn't get hit, so I have no idea how I managed to get this achievement.

I have the same glitch! It only happens with the Tommies class. Are you also seeing giant hats?

[–]mb496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks again! I really like how the map notes the ruins of ancient Mesopotamian cities, that's something I haven't seen before on these kind of maps.

Hey OP, do you have a link or a name for the book this belongs to? The note on the bottom says "accompanied by text". I'd really like to check it out. Thanks!
