Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It’s the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn’t part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.

The new EU is actually better about this than the old EU. By the time A New Hope starts, there are just four surviving members of the Jedi Order; Yoda, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra. Ahsoka is thought to be dead and went to ground even better than Yoda and Obi after Malachor, and Ezra is in another galaxy. Ahsoka also isn’t a Jedi anymore and is developing a distinct philosophy.

They’re also banking on having been wrong about the Chosen One, believing it’s one of the twins instead of Anakin. That they misinterpretted the prophecy completely is, of course, out of the question.

Yoda actually did have contact with both Kanan and Ezra a few times. It’s quite possible that he sensed Kanan’s death and was aware Ezra was out of the galaxy.

Aside from the Wisconsin part, that describes most cities.

Which claimants are you thinking of? I know the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire both claimed to be continuations of the Roman Empire. I don’t think Italy ever claimed to be the new Rome, somewhat ironically, and I think Germany and France had stopped claiming to be Rome as well.

At the point the western half of the Roman Empire collapsed they were using a system with two emperors due to the massive amount of territory being impractical for one man to govern, senate or no. Only one of the imperial titles imploded, with the other going along just fine for centuries before that part of the empire also started to collapse.

It helps to remember that Cleopatra was both from a completely different incarnation of Egypt and that she was the last independent pharaoh before Egypt became a Roman province.

According to the ancient Greeks, we would be bar-bars.

So as the year 1900 rolls around, I control 1/3 of the map landmass as territory under the work of my cities I cover the entirety of a large dorito shaped continent

However, one of the other human players has just researched nuclear theory and I’ve just figured out Great war infantry. I still have not caught up but I have made massive gains.

Well, there’s your problem. Civ 5 had a thing where research took more science points to complete the more cities you had. The ideal number of cities to own was five. If you had even a single city over that, even if science output was maxed out in all cities, it would take longer to research anything than for a player with only five cities.

Religion victories in Civ are poorly telegraphed in general. You can easily look at the minimap and see that someone is conquering everything, and poking at a player’s borders will show you that they’re technologically advanced, but religion and culture victories tend to sneak up on people.

Ah, but you forget, the sweater makes them look hella cute. Just think of all the dates they will score!

In an early draft where there were blob alien things instead of humans. By the time they replaced them with humans they had reduced the fleet to a single ship.

And then watch both of them again to see if you can spot all the single-frame gags.

They probably didn’t. It’s a single ship, not that big, and they only used one language on it.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

But, confusingly, an LED TV is an LCD TV. An LED TV is just an LCD TV that uses an LED array for the backlight instead of florescent lights. Quantum dot or QLED displays are also just LCDs with a fancy backlight. OLED displays are the ones that actually have glowing subpixels.

I feel like someone was trying to do that with the 3e sorcerer and got either badly out-voted or overruled by someone higher up.

I wouldn’t have either. At least partially because I have no idea what scales have to do with books.

I think some of them just lack people skills. I had this one manager that nobody liked and was rather prickly, but she very quickly kicked out an asshole customer and then immediately checked to make sure I was okay after. She cared, and actually did more for us than most of the rest of management, but her people skills were terrible.

Have you tried a shirt with, “You’re the bomb!” on it?
