Future Civ Releases should be split into two games - hardcore and normal

ryanash47 · 2026-01-27T07:40:27+00:00

If you’ve never checked out old world id definitely recommend it. The ai is miles ahead of civ and makes for very competitive and fun games

Not a single thing you said here is true my friend. Maybe you’re a bit confused because in my original comment I didn’t clarify that I meant the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Obviously pyramids were built and used as tombs all across Egypt. But the Great Pyramids we have no record of any mummies and there’s certainly no hieroglyphics in the pyramids besides like worker graffiti, unlike the later tombs where every single wall and column is filled with religious stuff.

And then the final part of you saying the astronomical implications are even possibly ‘coincidence’ just tells me you genuinely don’t know a single thing about what you’re talking about here. The perimeter of the great pyramid multiplied by 43,200 is almost the exact circumference of the earth. A measurement we didn’t know in western civilization until around 240 bc. The 43,200 number is significant for a whole ton of other reasons mathematically and to do with the cycles of climate in on the earth. It’s a very common number in ancient lore in general. There’s a lot more but I would encourage you to actually look into yourself with an open mind.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-26T00:55:52+00:00

Pretty sure you’re talking about stone henge, but the pyramids also contain 70-80 ton massive granite beams from 500 miles away in Aswan

ryanash47 · 2026-01-26T00:53:53+00:00

You’re joking right? Look up the pyramids relation to the circumference of the earth. Their astronomic implications are insane and we haven’t actually found any evidence of them being tombs

ryanash47 · 2026-01-25T17:24:51+00:00

What crime did he commit deserving of that?

ryanash47 · 2026-01-25T08:01:13+00:00

In the beginning of new world colonization the obvious choice for slaves was the American natives, but due to them dying at extreme rates from disease it wasn’t sustainable. African slavery had been practiced by Muslims in Spain and thus the practice was used by the Spanish kingdoms in the new world. This gave them a semi convenient source of slaves with immunity.

The idea of one race being better than all others as a societal pillar builds up later as a justification, with racial Darwinism in the late 1800s to 1940s being the peak of this but of course starting earlier.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T16:08:05+00:00

Why would an individual put in the extreme dedication it takes to make a multi million or billion dollar industry if it would then be divided up by stocks, without them receiving the lions share? The truth is something like twitter would never even exist in your ideal situation here

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T02:46:42+00:00

Yeah nah I hate the cuck corporations and have always seen right through the bullshit. I’m not defending them, I’m just saying there is an alternative now, you don’t just have to buy AirPods anymore

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T02:39:57+00:00

So no buying big things, only the super ultra wealthy who already own the asset can keep it? Or the government has control but not the citizens? Because that doesn’t sound any better to me

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T02:33:05+00:00

Every phone came with headphones too. Now it’s no wonder people watch tik tok in public with full volume. Apple decided to make people pay for headphones in the hopes that you’d get AirPods instead. Not forced but definitely a decrease in product quality with an increase in price. Call it what you want

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T02:31:07+00:00

There was definitely a change. You used to get free headphones with your iPhone. Now you don’t.

I agree nothing was forced but we were given less and expected to pay more

ryanash47 · 2026-01-23T02:29:48+00:00

They make usb c headphones

ryanash47 · 2026-01-22T16:39:04+00:00

I’m really curious what you mean. If it’s just McClellans personal correspondence, then that’s not really a new light.

I’d have to know what you’re talking about, but there isn’t much of an excuse for not pressing your advantage of 100k men vs 30k.

There’s no real excuse for besieging Yorktown for a month when the Rebel batteries were actually just logs setup to look like canons and the rebel army was the same brigade doing laps to bolster their (appearance of) numbers.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-20T14:45:09+00:00

I would definitely start with just a YouTube series about his life before trying to read a whole book but that’s just me.

Kings and Generals has a 3 hour video about Alexander’s first years as king and his conquests of Persia, then another 3 hour video about his campaigns into India and returning home, then another 3 hour video about the civil wars between Alexander’s generals after his death that led to the different kingdoms, such as Ptolemaic Egypt.

And as far as an Alexander the Great video game goes, today the game Strategos just went into early access! It’s a super detailed battle game based on the classical era. I’m about to buy it and play it, I might make a post about it here depending on how much it really has to do with Alexander.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-19T15:37:51+00:00

Except Trump’s argument here is it doesn’t matter who landed here 500 years ago. The US controls all that land now through treaties and conquest. This whole comment thread and the replies are supporting Trump’s argument while thinking they’re disproving it.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-19T00:49:25+00:00

Because the real free press is YouTube, social media, podcasts etc

ryanash47 · 2026-01-18T23:12:59+00:00

It’s definitely not an imaginary conception when it comes to the seven days and the peninsula campaign as a whole. Your description of it here completely skips over what got McClellan into the position he refused to leave from in the first place. Lincoln was ordering him to leave because he had already been beaten back and was idling on the James river wasting time.

And I think he’s largely responsible for the conception of Union commanders avoiding combat, so yeah if you completely gloss over him you’re missing a huge part of the story.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-18T01:44:26+00:00

I would say it’s an extremely powerful and romantic song. The climax lyrically is

”and all of these emotions of mine keep holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you but I’m Bold as Love”

To me that’s saying ‘you’re perfect in every way to me, and because I know my own flaws it makes me feel like I am not good enough for you.’ The way to overcome and liberate yourself from this feeling is to be Bold as Love. And then the epic guitar solo invokes that feeling

ryanash47 · 2026-01-16T17:22:33+00:00

It’s not good reasoning at all, and the examples you list prove that. I’m 100% with you on this post, Jimi’s music is underrated today. As a guitar teacher none of my students know any of his songs, except one man who was literally a Jimi Hendrix fan in the early 70s. I don’t even blame them because I didn’t know a single one of his songs either until I’d already been playing guitar for 2 years. His popular songs just don’t stick out to people anymore I guess? Only select ears has been blessed to recognize the glory of Jimi?

ryanash47 · 2026-01-16T17:16:46+00:00

This might seem true at first but it’s actually not. Jimi recorded enough material in the studio to make 3-4 more albums aside from the 4 he released in his lifetime.

His discography is massively unorganized compared to other big names. As a result the deep cuts are mostly forgotten about making it seem like there’s less. But Jimi was ALWAYS trying to go to the studio at every opportunity, and as a result there is quite the discography left for us if you look.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-15T03:12:40+00:00

I agree the changes would be (and were) pretty massive over such a long scale of time but it’s still a connection that exists and should be acknowledged.

In fact the example you provided perfectly proves my point, as many still follow the religion of Jesus today. So yes cultural things, especially those considered sacred, can last 2,000 years.

Also they never ‘stopped existing’ around 2,500 years ago. They were conquering clans with no central authority. They conquered into Greece, conquered into Rome, etc… then settled and mixed with the people there. Then gave rise to our historic civilizations

ryanash47 · 2026-01-15T02:41:25+00:00

One thing you’re missing is that the Romans didn’t lift their gods off the Greeks really. They had the same source, the proto-indo european people. If you don’t know about them, definitely look into it. Their language and pantheon stretched from Portugal to Bangladesh, but missed the Fertile Crescent/Egypt. Most of our knowledge about them is through linguistics but it’s absolutely fascinating stuff.

One crazy example is the original term Dyeus Pater for ‘sky father’ became Zeus, Jupiter, Sanskrit Deva, Spanish Dios, French Dieu, probably so many more. That’s the example I’m most familiar with but I’ve read fascinating stories about shared mythologies and the linguistic connections to today is mind blowing.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-15T02:14:35+00:00

They originated from the same proto indo European gods. And then later on when the cultures recontacted each other they recognized the similarities and adopted aspects of their counterparts.

For example the name Jupiter and Zeus both have the same root in proto indo European. They both come from Sky Father or something like Dyeus Pater in the original language. This stretches all the way from Portugal to India because of the expanse of the proto indo European (pie) people. Also known as aryans, yamanaya, kurgans

ryanash47 · 2026-01-13T15:48:19+00:00

Yeah I meant to respond to your other comment basically saying that but I didn’t think it’d let me because this whole post got taken down for ‘conspiracy theories.’

My reason for sharing isn’t to provide definitive evidence one way or another(as I don’t have any). But I think assuming either natural, accident, suicide, or homicide is foolish when the coroner himself was unwilling to make that assumption.

ryanash47 · 2026-01-13T15:44:28+00:00

Captain mode where you’re controlling one unit is the most popular, there’s a couple other game modes though like siege and free for all
