  1. Yes, a classic indeed, even thought as far as civil war hexes go i prefer the hps titles.
  2. By the author of papers please: https://store.steampowered.com/app/653530/Return_of_the_Obra_Dinn/ In 1802, the merchant ship Obra Dinn set out from London for the Orient with over 200 tons of trade goods. Six months later it hadn't met its rendezvous point at the Cape of Good Hope and was declared lost at sea. Early this morning of October 14th, 1807, the Obra Dinn drifted into port at Falmouth with damaged sails and no visible crew. As insurance investigator for the East India Company's London Office, dispatch immediately to Falmouth, find means to board the ship, and prepare an assessment of damages. Return of the Obra Dinn is a first-person mystery adventure based on exploration and logical deduction. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/10/18/return-of-the-obra-dinn-released/
  3. Just got a price a alert for a book i wanted but in the end i'm not gonna get this book because, well, i just buy books faster than i can read them and this one is low priority for me so i will probably never read it in the end, i have a box of 20kg worth of books on its way to me right now already, but if anyone here wants it: Privateering and Piracy in the Colonial Period: Illustrative Documents (Dodo Press) Under 3 pounds delivery included with amazon prime in the UK. 700 pages. Average price 25, peak 95 ( probably a bot ). First come first served, this kind of price doesn't stay around long.
  4. Quick update following the CitizenCon event of yesterday, there has been some optimization but you still need about 16G ram and an SSD to run the alpha.

  6. searX search engine. Wikipedia info. just need to configure it to remove all the stupid search engines from it and only keep the ones you want or the default results get appropriately stupid. Google without google spying. A newer and better alternative to startpage. Some OS and browsers might have duckduckgo installed by default but duckduckgo sucks.

  8. Millions or whatever crazy quantity of games that simply have a base price but no dlc have done very well, thank you. Extremely large quantities of dlc have been sold by bringing content that is not p2w. New content has been added to games over the years, sometimes years after the game came out, thanks to, well sales of the base game and/or content dlc. Your argument is invalid. Also, choices can very much be right or wrong.
  9. Since you make those videos and i have you at hand, i would love to watch historical accuracy videos on matrix's war in the pacific admiral edition, nobunaga's ambition, command ops, histwar, and the like. As to your question i think that the most detrimental thing to the game historical accuracy is simply the overall scale, the relation between units speed, scale and the maps, and the battles lenght just makes those battles more of a skirmish to me than say some of the hps games where, admitably with mechanics that tend to appear only in turn-based games, you feel the scale, the losses, the weight of your decisions much more, much more than you do in this one. The battles here don't seem as massive, as crucial, as costly as they usually were, do to the game mechanics. It's just the nature of the game to allow for anyone to pick it up and enjoy in real-time in a short time with some nice graphics that doesn't allow the level of historical accuracy that some other games have, but because of that it's also easy to close on eye on those imperfections.
