25. When you lose an important die roll (like in Risk or DnD), you look for the load game button, thinking that you'll wait one more turn for the random seed to change.

18) When you look at a map you are surprised of how big Russia is, and wonder when they colonized all Siberia

More like WHY they colonized Siberia

26) You wonder how China has collapsed so often when it never expanded past it's Core area

27/ You don't care about Iran and North Korea's Nuclear research since there is no uranium on their land
28/ You wonder why Egypt,Syria and Libya didn't switch to monarchy and spam warrior/ slavery and whip some buildings

Are you sure about that? I'm certain the Tang dynasty expanded west, taking parts of Kazakhstan, until they were checked by the damned Arabs. Shortly afterwards, a rebellion. Maybe having tiles outside of the core affects China much more negatively? Who cares.

29) You believe that your first trip to either Mexico or Peru will end up with your fist in someone else's mouth.

I was expecting someone to bring up Manchuria but this is interesting, learn something new everyday. Perhaps they just had a bad civic combination.

30. You've played so much DoC that you don't like Vanilla BTS and you hate playing it with your friends on hotseat (true story at the moment)!

And after they lost Transoxiana they had to give the Arabs the knowledge of paper in exchange for peace.

The cores aren't accurate and more for gameplay purposes.
Leoreth actually reduced the core (removed Tibet) but made the Chinese stability map more efficient in some places.
(In vanilla RFC, you couldn't settle any part of Manchuria without suffering a Mongol flip.)

For reference:

Keep in mind these are during greatest historical extents.
Vietnam and Corea broke off for one reason or another multiple times.

Gah! You are derailing the joke topic with serious posts!

33. You look up an Atlas, see some cities and say to yourself "Man, those are crappy spots! Who would settle Ulaan-Bataar and not Karakorum?!"

Actually I always vote for somebody else in the Apostolic Palace because to me it's pointless as the AP never proposes any motion of any impact, and most of the time at least one AI will defy its resolution anyway. The temporary relations boost from voting for somebody else can often give me useful trade agreements.

The UN though, is much more useful (mostly the NPT) so I always vote for myself there.

I don't know if Leoreth should spend time improving the AP mechanics - I don't care much about it myself. But it sure is very boring right now. Perhaps if it's made more interesting I'd be more motivated to play HRE/France/Spain. As it is now I will stick to playing England/Russia and ignoring the AP (and the rest of Europe, mostly).

I think most people in Beijing actually wish the city is razed to the ground and resettled somewhere else.

34) Being from Indonesia, you fear the Dutch businessman, for they may magically create legions of musketman.

Or Riflemen.

35. You think there should be an International Leoreth Appreciation Day.

7. You think of all the young folks on the forum and how they're learning more about
world history in this subforum than they are likely learning in their actual history class.

That is so true.

36. You wonder how the Sengoku Jidai started up, considering Japan can never collapse.

 

[trfyrktrv]

Oh yes it can if you always civics and religion
