Religions and cultures should be chosen according to their ability to enable blood sacrifice, forcing dominion in the rest of the world, cause rains of jaguars and devour the sun.

Actually it's pretty interesting. Legal systems from the edge of known history are amusing because they don't give a poo poo about a pretend universality in their principles and basically go "and, of course, if the harvest is poo poo, your creditors can go gently caress themselves for this year at least, maybe the next as well, if it is exceptionally bad in the western delta" and I like that.

Fun Fact: The Hammurabi Code contains what is considered the first insurance contract! The king agreed to pay any farmer a year's worth of wealth if their harvest was lost to catastrophe or war.

When your tech tree has a minimap at the bottom that shows it to be like 80% tech, 0% breathing room and 100% a kilometre long, you have to pay attention.

Honestly, I expected something quite unlike that, and more, you know, geared towards underhandedly grabbing other's stuff and making them resent you for it. I'm gonna stick to stupid FFH modmods.

Good to know. Now the real question I have it about the ten loving thousand negative traits available, and the positive ones, too. Did they just take all the combinations of all possible modifiers at a set strength and tried to find a name for each or something?

Somehow it's not the misused -punk, nor the questionable ideas backed into some of the early game that got me sigh. It's the fact that they are goldbugs. In the year 2020.

Yeah, go ahead with that, it'll be a good thing to tide us over to Brad Wardell, if he's still the boss on GalCiv and given that post above, I suspect he is, losing tons of money in cryptocurrency poo poo.

Anticheese posted:He is, and is still CEO of Stardock. And I didn't even touch on the fact that the deep lore of the series is a Silmarillion knockoff with Morgoth scratched out and his old screen name scribbled in on top. Science fiction and fantasy are so nice, because they tell you so much about the author.

Pick whatever you wish, don't bother with more votes, those traits read like a cookbook and work like a kitchen sink. Just hammer us with the next new poo poo, like Oskar Dirlewanger as a German national hero so we can tell the devs to gently caress off again.

On the one hand that would be very collar-tuggy, on the other hand the gall of it and the possibility for it to be an indictment of the related events... On the third hand, the rest of the mod doesn't really let one entertain that possibility.

I note that internet ads are things you can build now. Unless they are a crime building, which would be more appropriate. Also that quote from the Planetary Resources CEO guy? That's a real quote, by a real person from a real company, it failed completely and got bought out by a bitcoin investment fund. Yeah.

I'm kinda sad that the hatchet warrior isn't a juggalo, missed opportunity. I also wouldn't do anything from bikeback, when charging on a horse, the horse is self stabilizing and helped by its own mass, same for charging infantry, a bike is light and doesn't self stabilize. Even the recoil from a bow could gently caress up your balance. Although bikes have been used to move large amounts of infantry from one point to another, a number of D-day units in the latter waves had bikes, I remember pictures of Canadian landing craft full of bikes that infantry would use to get closer to the frontline faster.

I mean, you can make your own with smart dust, but you'd still want someone who knows how to make you look good to give you a general idea of what shape to give the dress. Hm, bridal counselor structure when?

I must object to the very idea of police cats, as Jean Cocteau said, one should like cats because there are no police cats, it is part of their charm. Also, seeing a solar rail in such a literal interpretation is pretty funny.

Indeed, those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it, but without that sense of irony that adds that piquant je-ne-sais-quoi that helps bring it together. Besides, by now, many a Mongol has left behind their leg, or their entire body. Or bodies, even.

Look, it has really great loving parks, you can have a local public service node materialize a swarm of drones so you can start a little expedition in the global jungle outside of the lattice of shining towers of perfect chrome and glowing blue crystals. You might even meet some primitives with their adorably quaint nuclear tanks.

DACK FAYDEN posted:"hitler is here, so we can kill him" is at least a very straightforward defense. That's not a compliment but I guess it kinda is too. I mean, that's a totally valid defense. I like killing Hitler too.
