    Iran, the Red Sea, and the West (tm).

    That's the positive site, the negative is that the chance of terrorist attacks on sites American Tourists visit has gone up quite much for the next 5-10 years. So, everywhere. It's crazy that you can do that without a declaration of war.

    America After MAGA

    It's a very good question, and the skepticism here is quite annoying. Wastl's list just now is a very good one - it's also an utopian one. Going a few steps back, what I think is needed is to make government responsive again to the needs of the people. The neo-liberal laissez-faire stance of...

    [RD] Trump in Charge: The MAGA Presidency

    While it might give some short-term opportunities for some investors, Trumps streetlight rhytm of tarrifs on/off destroyed any semblance of planeability and thus the real economy at the base of the stock market. (Yeah, I know)

    Civ VII VR first look

    I wanted the diplomacy screen to lookt like this for a long time. It's such a logical way to design it, and makes multilateral treaties easy to implement. So yeah, i think this looks amazing and makes me hopeful for the next stage. :) even if it looks a bit silly here.

    [RD] Trump in Charge: The MAGA Presidency

    This one got me thinking. Do the goods have to literally go through Guadeloupe? If so, an probably independently of it, this is also a ecological disaster. We are in a climate crisis after all. What is the CO2-Output of these pointless tariffs?

    Is Civ VII most boring version?

    I'm predicting they will add one different way to achieve each type in an expansion. With 8 paths instead of 4, you really can't do them all which frees up everything and gives the people what they seem to miss (i.e. founding a religion in antiquity). Otherwise i really haven't gotten around to...

    [RD] Trump in Charge: The MAGA Presidency

    It bears repeating, the foreign security aspect of this scandal is the second level we should be outraged over. Operational Security and so on is important. What is more important is that they try to circumvent record keeping, thus making them immune from prosecution and liability. This is also...

    So, No Britain?

    Saxons (not Angels and Saxons) and Goths really cover the Germanic tribes quite well and can lead to a diverse range of European civs.

    Crossroads of the World and Right to Rule DLC - themed predictions based on what we know

    I'd put the Crystal Palace, or Big Ben instead of the British Museum. But watch out for it being the Liverpool Harbour or the Mersey Docks or something else industrial. But it's still a bit unclear to me how they will distribute the wonder-ful and wonder-less civs. I guess we will see. I'm...

    So, No Britain?

    Normandy is essentially England, so you have it. Modern era Britain might arrive soon after.

    Who should be in an Eastern European DLC?

    I think the possible civs are quite well-discussed. I'm much more interested in the leaders. I'm guessing Vlad Tepes and Olga of Kjiv are a given. Both offer such interesting personalities and couldn't have been part of a civ game until now, so I feel like it would be a real missed opportunity...

    leaders we would like to see

    To be honest, I had to look up Viscount Castlereagh, and if we go for a Irish representation, I like the redhead pirate Lady contemporary of Elizabeth I more. But I'm always glad to learn about history and it also lead me to the question how many leaders they can have in the end. A "XY-themed"...

    leaders we would like to see

    Graf von Metternich I haven't read so far. The guy really shaped Europe. Though now of course you can do Sissi for Austria and get another female leader. She's arguably more influental pop-culture wise than Maria Theresia, and has nicer and more varied stories to tell.

    What additional DLC civilizations would you like to see in the Modern Age?

    Don't take everything at face value. I should have added a wink-smiley I guess. As always, polls and threads like this are just that, a brainstorming session. I'm excited to see what the developers will come up with.

    What additional DLC civilizations would you like to see in the Antiquity Age?

    If we think of "contemporaries", it really would make sense to have a 0-Age (Bronze Age) before. Myceneans, Hittites and Phoenicians fit much better with the Egypt we have while Ptolemaic Egypt, Carthage and Armenia fit better in the antiquity age. Maybe this zero- and the fourth Age can be...
