This is not the norm really. I drive < 10 minutes to everything I need on a daily basis. I’m sure there are places like this but it’s not the norm.

Um. No. Israel is simultaneously trying to eliminate Hamas while also creating a younger more technological Hamas. They aren’t going to eliminate the threat. They are just creating new threats.

Man if you guys haven’t seen this yet do not sleep on it. Amazing anime.

It does seem that Fred uses the random Ferrari strategy generator a lot less than Binotto did. Having said that LEC is also good at making his own bad luck in the race after crushing it in quali.

This should be a Google maps feature, how cool would that be.

In the end I have to respect the choice to not support the genocide. I get that it has repercussions but I don’t think I would choose a different path. Have to go with respect on this one.

I think the recommendations are just that. Maybe half the time they’re useful, trust your instincts on things like builders.

I personally expand in phases, not continually. I try to get at minimum 3 cities as quickly as safely possible. YMMV barbarian wise. Once I hit 3 I fortify a little, explore a little and build a builder to get going on refinements. I tend to go for scientific victory just fyi. Then when the three are humming along and I have some surplus military I start on the next 3-4 cities. This depends on terrain of course and those pesky neighbors.

Trading annoys me as I think you’ll come to see. The terms are lame and mostly the other leaders use it to build animosity towards you when you decline. The only good trades I ever get are when I’ve just destroyed them and waited 10 turns or so.
