I've been playing keyboard & mouse so far so I just tried it with an XBox controller. Doesn't seem to really support it at all - there weren't any default bindings for it and while you can assign functions to some of the buttons in the key-bind settings, it doesn't seem possible to assign anything to analogue inputs such as the sticks and triggers, or even the d-pad.
old world, which I got for โฌ10 in the GOG sale. I wanted something like the OG civ experience, where you slowly build up your civilisation, creating a network of cities with good transport links, strong agriculture supporting healthy growth, then, when the bloodlust gets too strong to ignore, building small military forces to go out and crush your neighbours.
I'm enjoying myself so far. The game does seem like a more straightforward and casual Civ - the learning curve is so gentle and you don't feel like you're overloaded with admin details that you can't keep track of. Last time I played Civ, it was Civ 6 and it was fun until a rival civilisation plonked a city down right in the middle of one of my own conglomerations. Perfect excuse for kicking some ass, so I assembled a little force and invaded the city to kick it out. Unfortunately you can't just declare war and get away with it, and there were a lot of side-effects to contend with, such as becoming a pariah on the world stage affecting trade. War was just not economically viable, and while that might be realistic for some time periods, it just wasn't the game I wanted to play.
So I am happy with old world. It's pretty much what I wanted so far - but will the simpler mechanics make the game less replayable? It may well do, but I'm enjoying it for now. Above all, what I like about these sorts of games - zero time pressure. I can take as long as I like on each turn, there's absolutely no rush to decide what to do, I'm free to bimble about and make sure I've not forgotten anything.
why Netanyahu came to Mar-a-Lago June last year to see trump
Interesting point. Mossad psyop teams helping promote pro-trump disinfo on the social networks?
Americans definitely all seem to be patriotic, like they say stuff like, "I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but was carpet bombing all those villages worth it?"
I thought we switched to libre
Maybe some people did. Thing is there's a whole rest-of-the-world out there, and they didn't necessarily get the memo or are happy with the existing way.
Gardiner Bryant is great. So great, you don't have to suffer YouTube to keep up with his videos, he also publishes to PeerTube:
A collective can be a great way to run a company, for some cases. I lived with a girl who worked at a cafe that was run as a collective - it meant that people had a fair say in decisions that affected them. They could vote on their own wages, working conditions, and no one was barking out orders bossing them around. The owner was an old-school left-winger who was doing this out of pure idealism. He was still the one with the financial risk, he dealt with banks, ensured taxes were dealt with, and all the other tasks involved in running a business such as that.
Nothing stopping you trying!
How would this specific problem be better under another system?

err in Europe we use bricks to build houses. A house made out of wood is not a house, it is a shed.
