Besides the historical significance of this, I simply have to appreciate the artistry of it all and how it depicts combat. The man on the left pushing the sword inward while the warrior on the right...

Black Sails TV Series

Just finished it. Wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. All the conflicts seemed to end in a fudge, every single time. It was infuriating. The only reason I watched it is...

Besides just the principle of the whole thing - namely that Taiwan is an independent democracy that is allied with the USA and WANTS to be defended by the USA, there's also the overall geopolitical...

What should I take away from this? I've been double vaccinated since late April this year and I'm on the fence if I should get a 3rd dose or not. My home country has a very low vaccination rate and...

Pretty funky. Looking at some reviews now since I can't quite figure out if it's an RTS game or more of a 4X.

Personally, I tried going back to RTW 1 once, but it's pretty obvious the game is old and I can't mentally justify it. I loved it when it first launched don't get me wrong, but I rather prefer the...

Forget about Italy at first. Italy is rich allright, but you just can't fight against both Syracuse and Roman while keeping peace in Spain and Africa. Not even Hannibal could do that. You need to...

What those hoplites must be thinking: "Oh yeah, let's just leave those archers to fire their arrows. Please do go on sirs, don't mind us."

This whole thread is making me envious of the Singapore and South Korea response to the virus.

They have neither the economic pain nor the deaths and infections that the West has.

Looking...

While I agree this is a serious medical issue, I think the real question is:

Can the current quarantine measures actually contain the virus? If you look at the countries that are currently in...

Personally, I strongly, strongly, strongly doubt that we'll ever get a direct evidence of God as defined in existing religions. In other words, you'll never see Jesus walking on water or Krishna...

The history books will remember it as starting in China, but will mostly focus on how incompetent the West was in containing the disease. If the CCP puts a lid on infections (as their official data...

For Grand Campaign, Massilia. Great starting position, good mix of hellenic defensive units with decent attacking barbarian infantry. (Hellenistic factions always struggle in the attack with...

Getting some Skyrimstalgia from this one. Wish I could play it again but somehow I can't seem to enjoy games I've finished...

What makes you think this was US backed? The guy did some pretty blatant stuff to stay in power, such as ignoring a referendum and bending the constitution.

Ultimately, things happen across the...

This one is pretty complicated to answer.

For most of the republic Roman soldiers weren't actually given a salary. Instead, during most of the Republic roman soldiers were basically middle class...

I'm not Catalan, but wouldn't a democratic approach be to ask the entirety of Spain to decide whether Catalonia should secede?

After all, decisions that affect all Spaniards should be made by all...

While not a comprehensive answer, Rome had an excellent geographical advantage over the other contenders in the Italic Peninsula. They smack in the middle of it, and it was well defended by numerous...

I feel like the battles are the fun part of the Total War games. For country management I prefer Europa Universalis, but when you combine the country management of Total War games with the battles,...

I wonder if the Jeffrey Epstein scandal would have happened in Europe, where the age of consent laws are by and large lower than they are in the US, going as low as 14.

Apparently I'm a monster because I eat kiwi's just like you would apples: not peeling them, and simply biting them outright.

It's turned quite a few heads, but it doesn't seem that strange to me.

I wouldn't put too much weight on this. Even California has secessionist attitudes towards the US. Last time I checked, some ~25% of Californians wanted to secede.

Ultimately, the difference...

I haven't played in a bit, but I liked the Iceni since they allowed you to be separate from the rest of the action and kind of do your own thing until you were ready.

I think Attila has some of the best mods in the franchise and probably has the most longevity also. Its deffinetly worth getting on a steam sale or regularly if you are a franchise fan.
