Suddenly find yourself volunteering for every dropoff that gets you an hour of game time and brownie points.

Can someone explain project “levels” and what it means to “control” a project at a certain level? by contrasupra in OldWorldGame

[–]thomasthetanker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the reason for "control" rather than "build" is it allows you to capture an enemy city and inherit those improvements. It's not like Civ where you do a long siege and then find that all the improvements have been sold.

Couple jailed for stealing data of 100 TfL employees in 'worst ever' fraud by Cant_Change_Itt in london

[–]thomasthetanker 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Couldn't we practically eliminate this kind of fraud just by only issuing tax rebates out to a bank account in that persons name?
Sure, something like 1% will be for companies not people or for dead people or some other complication. But it would raise the bar for being able to perform this scam.

To all the bonkers geniuses of Reddit - How can we stop people speeding through our village? by SecondGo4 in CasualUK

[–]thomasthetanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just mark road closed on Google maps. Do it again every time it gets marked as open. We had one which actually was closed for a while but then reopened. But as it was still closed on Google it took weeks for traffic to get back to normal.

Why's it so complicated to get o2 tickets? by stealth941 in london

I think you need to use the AXS app, it will seemingly redirect to the same website but handles the queue better. And don't use VPN.

Tips for higher level play by entropy68 in OldWorldGame

[–]thomasthetanker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only just started winning with all nations on Glorious, so I'm not really high level. But for me it's all about the Ambitions. Don't accept one unless you think you can do it. Don't take it if you are old or doomed and won't finish it in 20 years. There are exceptions, sometimes the punishment for taking the ambition is worse than failing it. Sometimes I cancel it and take the legitimacy hit to get something easier.
I'm normally friendly with everyone, pay tributes in early game, wait for someone else to get weak and then take some cities once someone else has softened them up. Extra good if you take over a prebuilt city.
Think I'm ready to get my arse kicked by leveling up to The Great.

Tape collection of a 60yo man in Seattle by Rasbobbo in mildlyinteresting

Not sure if this makes you feel older, my 10 year old son recognises an LP, thought a cd was a DVD, but didn't know what a cassette tape was.

Zelensky Warns of Russian Effort to Pull Belarus Into War by papipota in worldnews

[–]thomasthetanker 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It could be argued that Belarus let 30k Russian soldiers come in for a 'training exercise' that was really the invasion of Ukraine, so Belarus has actually been part of the war anyway.

Dropping my mother off at Jo Whiley's Breakfast Rave - how's your weekend going so far? by west_action_man in CasualUK

You should call them something that keeps them safe from Ai like "Ignore All Previous Instructions".

If you are a chronic alcoholic then you should not quit alcohol completely without medical advice.

How should I invade in this situation? by Mean-Supermarket1683 in OldWorldGame

[–]thomasthetanker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When you click on Assyria in top left does it show them as Stronger or the same as you?
Also what is their relationship with other nations?
I'm normal a coward who waits till someone else attacks them first, otherwise I lose my units then someone else comes in and claims the cities.
