Because the character was already created by someone (the author) who had his own idea? You take away all the interpretation about life, epoche, etc. from the author's view, which, in my days at school, was quite an important aspect to understanding the whole thing.

I wouldn't be so stuck with trying to change things that have already happened or described. You want change? Then make it, but try to be original, except for taking something that is already established and making two personnel changes. That will not work in anyone's favor.

If it doesn't matter... then why not leave characters the way the authors intended (and described) them to be? I mean, if you are unhappy about representations of ethnicities in the past (where that was quite normal), why not write your own bestseller? No need to complain then.

I got to be brutally honest: You give me a movie about 17th century British royalty with 50% of them black, I will feel just as offended as if you remake 30 years a slave with whites as cotton pickers. Not everything inclusive is good. Especially if it distorts the actual history that has...

If I want to keep my grievance generation lowkey in a case like this, I simply pillage all his science gold and faith improvements and tire out his army by killing everything that moves, pillaging any trade route I come across, and burning his heathen apostles on the stakes. No grievances, but...

John Curtin turned out to be most interesting for me ingame, although I have no relation whatsoever with Australia. In RL one could see him as "controversial", though, at best.

Sorry guys, was out for a while. Something like this still going on or planned again?

I use the restart feature quite often, as well. Need to check, if that is affected, too. But will be hard to tell only 10 to 15 turns in

Also, on a more general side note: If you use land based ranged units or city walls to take out single ships in a formation (like bringing a unit consisting of two models below 50% HP), they won't sink anymore... they simply pop. That seems to be a consistent thing now, though.

The pop-ups seem to be working for me, without exception.

And here two screenshots in comparison: One without visual FX, one with FX (after game crashed and I reloaded). Same settings and exact same location in-game.

Here a drought without a drought... no visual FX. The dust storm is missing. And I play on 4k with all Ultra, so it's not the details set to low, or stuff like that. On the map they are also not visible, so you might end up settling into a running drought. P.S.: Also ships don't have the...

I am up for it anytime, if this still becomes a thing.

I tend to let them grow naturally through the game. While you might end up with some 20+ cities, you will also have the handful that won't grow over 5 or 6, cause you planted them in the middle of the desert or tundra, just to get your hands on the two oil there. That might obviously be...

Huge, but I have always played huge, so no difference there. It happened since April Patch for me. Same goes for the double striking droughts and stuff. I do see the floods and I do see the volcanoes. I just don't see droughts on the map all the time anymore. From what I can tell so far: It...
