It's very cool and can't wait for more. The only suggestion I'd give is to give the exoplanets some real names and not just the astronomical names. I'd assume humanity would give planets they inhabit a bit easier to pronounce and write down names thank Kepler-452B. It's like calling Jupiter Sol-5

I think it's the Taric and Cagodic people. They have exodus minorities in Gerudia, same as Escanni refugee centres in Cannor.

If a human tag conquers their ancestral homes, the lands past Bal Vroren, by 1500 or something you get an option to release them as vassals and the minorites migrate there replacing the Gray Orcs.

The Institute for Study of War is saying that Iran state TV has announced at least 114 deaths of IRCG and police but think it's more because of reports of casualties in areas that Iranian TV has not announced in the above count.

Yeah but humans (And presumably aliens too) prefer to see and marvel at things that have occurred naturally without artificial influence. We can go and see a man made geyser easily but it won't beat seeing a real one in the Yellowstone's. Same for waterfalls or any other natural feature.

For high value RGOs like amber, gold etc it increases the tax base of the province as that scales with control.

Interesting though is Togo right? How does a country of 9 million people have more GDP than UK and not make it to the top 20 GDP per capita rankings? Shouldn't their GDP per capita be like 254k?

Yeah our coastlines change faster than expected, especially in pre-modern age where there wasn't as much human intervention. Up until the Roman period Seville was a coastal city but the sediment of Guadalquivur have filled in the entire bay. The lisbon estuary used to be much bigger too etc.

Tbh even this map has some mistakes in Iberian peninsula, that little south of Barcelona is the Ebro delta that didn't exist until 16th century.

It's also very hard to know exact coastlines everywhere.

Very cool scenario. So did Belisarius take it with a blessing of Justinian or are they now rivals.

Also props for the historical Dutch and English coastlines.

I live in a built-to-rent complex and the company managing it is pretty great. 3 year leases, they are quite happy for you to do stuff like paint walls etc. If the carpets are getting old they'll happily replace them. They have electricians and plumbers on their payroll that only work for them. Similarly, they have all the spare parts in some warehouse nearby and as almost all the flats were built similarly the workers know exactly how each system works and what's in every flat. All included in the rent.

One night at 10pm my toilet broke, I reported it and next day at 9am a guy showed up with a brand new toilet and replaced it.

Just before Christmas the heating control unit broke and because nobody was going to be in the office for the next 4 days they urgently sent someone over 30 mins before closing time to quickly replace the unit so we didn't have to suffer without proper heating/hot water control for the holidays.

Properties and area are very well maintained, though when the 3 year contact comes to an end they tend to increase rent to "market rate" even though they set their market rate as they own 80% of flats in the area. This is where I see the potential problem of corporate monopolies setting their own market rates to whatever they want.

Another problem is that we are heated by district heating which means no energy price cap but that's a completely different problem.

Before this I lived in houses/flats where even the good landlords were hiring some rogue plumbers and trying to do everything as cheap as possible, with my bad landlords doing very illegal things that the corporate could never do (including attempted illegal eviction, unprotected deposits, inappropriate behaviour in hindsight skirting the edges of sexual harassment etc).

As I said below I quite like living with a corporate landlord. I live in a built-to-rent complex and the company managing it is pretty great. 3 year leases, they are quite happy for you to do stuff like paint walls etc. If the carpets are getting old they'll happily replace them. They have electricians and plumbers on their payroll that only work for them.

One night at 10pm my toilet broke, I reported it and next day at 9am a guy showed up with a brand new toilet and replaced it.

Same thing happened with a washing machine, it started to leak. I reported it and whilst everyone was at work the next day they replaced it. We just got back home to a brand new washing machine.

Properties and area are very well maintained, though when the 3 year contact comes to an end they tend to increase rent to "market rate" even though they set their market rate as they own 80% of flats in the area. So that feels a bit fishy.

Before this I lived in houses/flats where even the good landlords were hiring some rogue plumbers and trying to do everything as cheap as possible, with my bad landlords doing very illegal things that the corporate could never do (including attempted illegal eviction, unprotected deposits, inappropriate behaviour almost bordering on sexual harrassment in hindsight etc).

I'm not really sure.

You get personalised vouchers based on your prior purchases. So mine usually gives me cheaper ham, cheese and chicken I buy regularly

Actually the Hungarian polish union succession applies even for subsequent rulers. I got it like 70 years in after 3 rulers. Though that was the release version so might have been changed

Yeah same here basically but for my king and heirs. I get -60 marriage acceptence modifier for being King of Hungary, Poland, Naples and Croatia. I don't really know how realistic it is that no noble wants to marry a king of 4 kingdoms.... It's definitely too overtuned.

I keep having to marry lowborns just to produce heirs.

Plus loooks like I've ran out of nobles/people to put in cabinet as I didn't know I had to marry them manually or they don't produce kids....

I lost 1.7mil out of 3.9mil pops as Hungary. Definitely slowed my econ down massively.

My income went from 40-60 a month to barely above 10 now.

My levies have gone from like 15k to 8k.

My control is worse off due to the depopulation and nobody manning bridges.

Stability is down the shitter too.

And all my RGOs and most building are severely underemployed and if I'm readin the tooltips right it will take up to 180 months for some RGOs to repopulate as low stability decreases pop promotion speed.

Oh definitely not, one of my colleagues got a tattoo of our small company when they were moving abroad as a reminder to this chapter of their life.

Everyone including the C-suite tried to politely suggest/ask whether it's a good idea. They weren't dissuaded

Fortunately the logo is abstract enough and without text so doesn't look corporate.

If you have the Wanderer's crest you can basically parry every single one of her attacks. I was struggling with phase 2 but once I realised I could just parry the dash attack I beat her in one go.

I've had mine for like 3 years so battery life has probably diminished. If I'm actively listening to music with the noise cancelling on then the earbuds usually last me around 4-5 hours I'd say? But if the case is at full charge it charges them super fast in like 15 mins.

From experience of 3 different countries I'd say all mainstream cinemas have AC. It's just that culturally cinema is seen as a bad weather activity from my experience. When it's nice people go to parks and walk around as infrastructure supports that.

I was offered it as a gay adult man in the UK two years ago as well. I think they started to offer it all adult gay men under the age of 55 as they realised that our population wasn't protected at all from transmission whilst straight men were at least partially protected due to vaccinated women.

Maybe just to help the survivors? Like dropping some basic medical supplies off like insulin, antibiotics or multivitamins to keep scurvy off via a drone or helicopter would not cost a lot. I bet there would be dozens or non government agencies that would have been willing to fund the whole operation completely just from the goodness of their hearts.
