I just want to emphasize that I didn’t mean to do it. I saw the thread title in the “related threads” interface at the bottom of one of the other fine threads on this marble-decked discussion board, and clicked in and realized that it was actually talking about something very relevant to modern...

So I notice you guys have been posting very hard at each other in the Ukraine Russia thread talking about who is really responsible for the war, you know, which nations need to be obliterated, which civilian populations are valid targets, and in the midst of all this I’m left asking: who is...

Good morning, Off Topic. So let’s cut to the chase: World War 3. Who are the sides, what are the conflicts, what sets this whole thing off, and of course, who’s gonna win? Who’s gonna lose? I got the “world war” fever and I hope you got it too. So it’s looking like in the Allied corner we have...

The vibe is The World Turned Upside Down, people. Background In the beginning was Napoleon. He, at the crest of the heroic French Revolution, sought to overthrow the old and oppressive Ancien Régime, and succeeded. The Holy Roman Empire was destroyed. The Iberian Empires, bowed. Italy, united...

Hey guys it's me again. Thanks for all of your help in my last thread. I'm nearly done making my test civilization and I'm working through the icons in my other thread. So I made a new thread to open a discussion about civilization and leader abilities. How can we be sure that a leader ability...

I've looked all over the internet and I'm not watching a 2-hour video where some nerd mouth-breathes through a description.

A Tale of Common Things Take up the White Man's burden-- No tawdry rule of kings, But toil of serf and sweeper-- The tale of common things. The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread, Go mark them with your living, And mark them with your dead. -Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's...
