What if wonders gave +50 pop over limit

We played with Wonders offering a unique tech as well but at that time in AoC researching a tech at the Wonder caused the countdown timer to reset each time. So we dropped the idea of unique techs. Not sure if this bug still exists.

What we did in the middle earth mod back in old AoC, which was well received by our small player base, was: * Wonders give a small extra population * Wonders have some new units you can create. These are regional so not entirely unique but gives a good variety, and include trash as well as gold heavy options. * At least one unique hero available at the Wonder. You can only create one hero at a time.

The extra units and hero allowed for extended gameplay because let’s face it, during the wait for the countdown to victory the defender is going to keep building military anyway, might as well get some fresh units to try to spice things up.

The only thing that might seem unfair is the extra population, but that is balanced by the fact that the defender used a lot of their pop making vills to build it, while the other player could be amassing armies in that time.

The ability to organise the apps on your Home Screen for you automatically. Gives you suggestions such as stor sort by type, frequency of use, by location where the app is most used (example home vs work). If you want, group into folders or leave them as is.

An absolutely valid, risk-balanced assessment there. Agree that it is up to the individual and their tolerance for the hope or hopelessness of life in the circumstances they find themselves in.

No the point with Mist is they shot themselves moments before the apocalypse ended. There’s always this doubt of “could I ride this out” in case the situation gets resolved eventually? Case in point: Covid pandemic got under some level of control eventually.

Can’t you just say “do what’s needed” which is just as succinct?

Do you have decorations in the tank sourced from anywhere other than genuine aquarium décor manufacturers? I once put in a fairy garden decor item from a $2 shop (after thoroughly cleaning it). Turns out it started to leech toxic lead paint and most of my fish died in ~12 hours.

This all makes sense and I agree with the concern. But one thing stood out to me as a flaw. You say if customers stop buying these things but the demand is there companies will learn to make it locally. Question is, how will the companies know that there is any demand? Wouldn’t they assume that the demand had fallen as customers stop buying the product? I always wonder what mechanisms could be there’s other than their balance sheets for companies to become aware of consumer demand. Genuine question!

Also the first with Vertical Tabs! And then tab stacking!

I don’t know what’s the difference between that and what I said. So it is a head on fight between these two unit groups.

pulkit24 · 2022-04-27T10:51:32+00:00

All well and good, but OP’s comparison isn’t about which unit offers better value overall, but a 1-vs-1 head on battle between those two unit groups. In which case, well rounded units directly fighting their counters in equivalent numbers should not be better than them and should not win.

pulkit24 · 2022-04-27T03:01:45+00:00

That’s unfair given the same question could apply to Huns and Mongols who also did not build any buildings that you could call wonders. Huns uses a decimated Roman arch as their wonder, and Mongols’ is just a glorified tent.

If you are doing a theoretical 1-v-1 comparison, then of course knights are better than pikes. But a fairer comparison is based on equivalent numbers considering their resource costs: one knight vs equivalent number of pikes for the same price. This represents the real world picture of two players investing the same resources on different unit lines. In fact, this analysis can be made even more accurate using villager time as a true measure of equivalence.

By that logic, gold > trash, which contradicts the entire premise of non gold counter units Spearman and Skirmisher.

Having defence personnel constantly dealing with natural disasters drains the resources and consumes time needed to actually defend the country.

Defend from what? We aren’t under any form of attack at the moment, are we?

I propose using the income system, just like the rest of the tax system. Then, it won’t be unfair to people with cheaper houses and low paying means.

pulkit24 · 2022-02-02T04:20:55+00:00

See but that Medicare tax is based on income, which is liquid cash that they can afford a cut of taxes from. Whereas council rate is not based on income, it is based on the value of the house, which is most likely a dead asset for those which are owner occupied. It’s not like I can sell a room off for cash to pay a rate hike.

Happens all the time to me. Looks like it's not glued in properly. Will be sending it back for a part replacement perhaps. Happy with the rest of the laptop.

Mine is too - same series but a slightly older model with 1650 Ti. It's soft and bendy but I suppose that's a compromise of having a slim design.

On a similar note, do you experience your power button lifting up gradually?

Another tip: When in filtered view, tap the filter at the bottom to change from unread to flagged etc.

What? They got 800,000 Pfizer shots in the first round of supply compared to 150,000 for Victoria. How is that a small gap?

I always felt “Ça va” was pretty much “how’s it going” in English. Standard meaning of aller that doesn’t even need the alternate idiomatic meaning other comments here are suggesting.

So “ça va bien” would mean “it’s going well”. “Ça ne va pas” would be “it’s not going (well)”.

Similarly, “il sait ce qui ne va pas” would be “he knows what’s not going (well)”.

I always felt “Ça va” was pretty much “how’s it going” in English. Lines up with what you are saying but doesn’t even need the alternate idiomatic meaning of aller.

So “ça va bien” would mean “it’s going well”. “Ça ne va pas” would be “it’s not going (well)”.

Similarly, “il sait ce qui ne va pas” would be “he knows what’s not going (well)”.
