  1. Past hour
  2. Yesterday I made Baingan Bharta (with peas) for the first time, and it turned out much, much better than I'd expected. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes cooking, as it's not all that difficult if you've got at least some experience of cooking in general, and do not get jittery about roasting eggplants.
  3. The ratio of one to two still largely applies. It's the distance cartpushers or buyers have to go that affect how fast production fills up markets or warehouses. Individual houses only consider distance to markets. Markets tries to get from warehouses/granaries but if not available, they will march directly to the farm/resource buildings, no matter the distance, so if farms or glass makers are far from markets... On the flip side, I find in C4 that you need a lot less warehouses(or none) if tightly packed production areas (glass, furniture etc) since production grabs directly from resource buildings making warehouses redundant. You only need warehouses for storing things to sell or lots placed close to markets so market workers won't travel across the map to grab directly from production buildings. Edit: so doubling down on warehouses/granaries near markets - not production areas - so you have more than one trying to get each type of good - helps to prevent empty markets. EditEdit: multiple markets also helps early on. I typically used two food and basic goods markets near pleb housing blocks. Yet another edit: to clarify, resource buildings (timber, farm) do not deliver resources anywhere, like they did in C3. It's more the opposite. A warehouse/market lady/furniture worker etc, has to go there and take out directly.
  4. Patron - a few more tries. That Tech tree is now a giant mess, much of it nonsensical. You get Stone Quarry almost immediately, but can't build stone houses or stone wells until you've gone far far down the research path. Which is a singular path (with some optional side branching). I don't care about about this or that but must research it just to get to stone wells etc. Can't even build a *wheat farm* unless you research a bit down the tree. Major money/time grind. I get that it might be fine/cool if using the "objective goal path" playmode (that didn't exist before). And it's fine doing it once or twice. Different. But for "Sandbox" mode it's just aggravating if you want to play more than one map. Repeating it 10, 20x is just, no. I did however find a cheat table where I can make research instant, so I load up a map, place Town Hall/nothing else, give resources, research everything I care about in 3 minutes, reset resources to almost nothing, save map, exit cheat table. There. It would have made more sense for there to be multiple Tree sections, like this one for housing, this one for production, this one for percentage bonus perks, something like that.
  5. Today

  7. Hello, I most fervently request some additional pieces and variants. 1. Please give us a concrete foundation in addition to the clay and pebblet, something sturdier and most importantly flat. 2. Please give us curved half walls in the vertical. I like the ash windows but I would like them to not take up a quarter of my tower. 3. Please give us a quarter floor we can use as a seam fix when we put a curved wall on top of a square one. There's already a quarter triangle wall. Speaking of that, please add a triangle wall that points down as a seam fix for putting roof pieces against the side of a wall. 4. Lastly, please give us an elegant pinecone dining table and matching chairs. I love this game so much, and I love building my castles, and I would love for these little tweaks to make me better at tying things together. Thank you for listening and for making such a wonderful game!
  8. Well no clue why I missed that post right before mine, I checked previous page. Maybe didn't reload the page. Whoops then. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sega-sells-relic-and-will-cut-240-jobs-across-uk-studios Relic is independent again
  9. I've got hardly any DVDs but more than hundreds of CDs, I have to say. And while at work in my office I listen to them practically every day, although it's nothing but classical these days, basically -- so an awful lot of stuff is just lying around, quite literally collecting dust. Speaking of dust: Tori Amos was superb at her best. I remember weeping like crazy upon hearing this for the first time. It was just so beautiful. Her lyrics rarely add up to a coherent whole, but there are some masterful lines -- here she's brilliantly evoking memories and the sense of transient but life-transforming moments, whatever they may be for the listener.
  10. A little bit more thoughts about the “theater incident” Budanov words, https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/27/7448459/ and William Spaniel explanation, who also suggest that Rosgvardia is to busy in and around UA as well.
  11. How wonderful that someone really did it! I mean, wonderful in the context of famous metaphors becoming a kind of reality, not in the context of energy politics.
  12. It didn’t stop the former Australian prime minister from fighting tooth and nail against windmills (for the glory of the coal, gas and oil industry)
  13. A funny (to me) observation: reading Don Quixote today, it's impossible not to notice the parallel between Don Quixote and modern conspiracy theorists. Don Quixote is neither stupid nor uneducated, it's just that he has a huge flaw in his thinking when it comes to the question of chivalry, and no one can help him see the problem, no matter how they try. That's precisely how it is with conspiracy theorists, it's just that the flaw happens to be in different "places" in their mind.
  14. Mind you, Malcador ignored you first. We may need to look into this. Stand against Wormy-bullying.
  15. The blood frenzy line is indeed better, while energized, the crit from dot generated by blood frenzy also interrupts.
  16. It's very disappointing that you've not received any responses. In trying to resolve the same problem myself, I've read other's experience the Xbox login loop on their PC/Steam setup --- no solutions. I've reached out to Obsidian support --- hopefully it can be resolved.
  17. Typical, standard, run-of-the-mill, garden variety DD2 action:
  18. Still not used to Caesar 4's mechanics, at least when designing cities and I keep forgetting it's not always one mine to two factories (well for some it works). Although it is a nice change from Caesar 3 where workplaces need homes nearby, but city sprawls out and seems a little less realistic to me. So blundering my way through the campaign. Military command is more annoying than C3, not sure why they had to add depth to a side feature - also no triumphal arch for sending my legions to aid the Empire : feh!
  19. Yesterday
  20. This reminds me I never did a playthrough where Mike pisses Mads off into leaving and then chooses her over the other people anyway. I wonder what Marburg would say.
  21. Wartales - I decided to start a new run on easy. Easy combat, easy economy. I was doing fine on experienced, but it was taking a long time and there was a lot to keep track of. On easy I can just breeze through some systems and focus on the story and my fighters. I'm heading into the third area no, and my squad is pretty deadly. Easy isn't all that easy. There are still some tricky parts and you aren't going to get away with taking on stuff that is way higher than you, but it is more forgiving. Plus I'm not constantly broke.
  22. Somehow, even when expecting a terrible film, Sony comes along and proves that indeed, it can always get much, much worse.
