    The Old World - new civ-type game

    I personally preferred Civ4 over 5 or 6. I've switched over to EU4 though which I think is better in nearly every way, but it's a lot deeper with a steeper learning curve. CK2 is also popular, but it never really clicked with me. This Old War seems like a worthy addition, but still under...

    The Old World - new civ-type game

    I find the shift to 1 unit per tile in these games to be quite annoying. I think I must prefer the stacks of doom just so I don't have to micro manage so much. Surely there's a nice middle ground, like civ3's army system, where you can combine 3 or 4 or however many units into a single entity...

    Civilization VI

    My disappointed with Civ5 led me to finally sitting down and learning how to play EU4 and I haven't looked back since. They're not exactly the same sort of game but they have so much cross over that every time I've tried any of the civs (even 4, one of my favourites), it's felt so shallow and...

    Obviously more important things going on in the world, but hard not to dream about being in liverpool for a match against chelsea today, ideally in the stadium, and looking forward to the parade next week. oh well.

    Europa Universalis IV

    nicely done. Wait till you start going after some of the achievements. https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Achievements is a good page to use as a reference. can sort it by difficulty and by expansions needed. Many also have suggestions or links to full guides.

    Enjoying this a lot also after two episodes. Good chance I'll binge it all over the weekend. The setting is pretty great. They do a good job of presenting a very believable near future that is also significant different from our today (sans covid19)

    Quite a good horror movie. Gave me similar vibes to Hereditary.

    Europa Universalis IV

    I find following any of the countless guides you can find on reddit / youtube, a good way to achieve things in the game while always learning more and more about the game. It's pretty shameful how little I actually know about the game despite the thousands of hours I've spent in it.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Probably avoid collecting in your home hub since you get that automatically. better off allocating that merchant to transfer from one the hubs feeding into your home. ideally you create a chain of transfering merchants pushing trade along the route that ends in your home collecting hub...

    Dune (2020)

    I really enjoy the original movie but I saw it long before I read the books. probably saw it a few times for that matter. As far as sci fi movies goes, it was one of the best options around at the time. Been meaning to rewatch it to see how it holds up against my nostalgia

    I really love having metal coins but decided long ago they were far too expensive compared to using, you know, real coins. I tend to collect foreign currencies whenever I can since they were great for being exotic compared to your own currency, while being relatively cheap, and having a good...

    Last time I tried tabletop Sim, I found it a bit too complex to setup and do stuff. Is it easier now? Or just better youtubes and tutorials around for it?

    Stellaris

    whats the tl;dr of what the new expansion does? I've been out of stellaris for ages even though I really really want to like it. Too often my games end up ebing too tedious and so much of a pita to do what I want.

    Made the tough decision to cancel our trip on friday, which was pretty heartbreaking. We figured the travel bans are just going to get worst until we were due to depart, and our itinerary took us via Taiwan for a couple of days and then Amsterdam before arriving in England, and same back, which...

    Game play wise is seems like a simpler / lighter version of marvel champions but with unnecessary minis. With that said, I'm tempted just because of the minis since they looks pretty cool and I could use them for decoration or in other stuff maybe.

    I'll be there for it! Had to book place in Manchester though since Liverpool is booked out that weekend 😭 Pretty much given up on getting tickets for the Chelsea game but it will be cool watching it in a local pub I think.

    I've already been planning for it so I'm in the city when it's on. Only hiccup will be if we're in the FA cup / Champions League final. Good problems to have! Speaking of, I think the way we're winning, and how good we're capable of playing with this team, I'm starting to get greedy and wanting...

    Battlefield V

    Most of Australia's participation in WW2, certainly what is part of our mythos, involves jungle warfare such as Malaya and the fall of Singapore, and the Kokoda Trail and the New Guinea campaign, etc.
