Hmmm. I think I may have sussed at least a bit of the proximity/control system.

One thing that struck me was that I had slowly been racking up a negative cash stream. It would even out soon, I thought, trade was brisk, with increased control came more tax income. Well. I checked what kind of black hole all that sweet gold was going into. The cost of court. As an empire, Byzantium gets a really huge court. Which is nice for crown power, but apparently it can cost well over 100 ducats a month when it starts snowballing with grandchildren of third cousins and whatnot.

How to fix that, I do not know. Maybe I just need to execute some relatives.

We need a fusion power hype/bubble.

2 National Guardsmen shot in DC by Afghan refugee.

It all seems a little too convenient for me. I hate to get all  , but right when a judge orders the Guard out of DC within 21 days and amidst Trump and co. looking to up the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim narrative again, we end up with this?

Shooting national guard rather than SD ICE too.

I was looking to see if I can walk on set, but I can't find info on where it will be shot

It's way too early, there's not even a production date yet. Once prep gears up I suppose some info will filter out.

If they shot in Vancouver, I hope you can make it!

Imperator with invictus is enjoyable. Had fun roflstomping over Celtic Britain with my migrating saxons before having to defend against the Roman's.

Following the release of Anno 117, and EU5 still taking big swings re: balancing and mechanics, and Vic3 two weeks out from a DLC release (I hope they don't leave it unfixed before Christmas ), I fired up Imperator: Rome with the Invictus mod.

I'll have to completely re-learn the game because I haven't had any game lasting more than an hour since release.

Sounds like the kinds of claims I'd make if I wanted to quickly cash in on a current hype to attract investors. "We're almost there, promise!"

If I was being sent back to Afghanistan I'd probably do whatever I could to stop that too.

Whenever I hear about these 20 and 28 point peace plans I can't help but think of Clemenceau's response on hearing of Wilson's 14 points : "The good Lord had only ten!" (Le bon Dieu n'en avait que dix !).

Many people are saying that Trump's peace plans have bigger and better points than Woodrow Wilson's, in fact the best points.
