Btw, is the campaign complete? I read some comments that the campaign just stops at some point. But of course that might be because a player ran into a bug, or there's a quest requirement they didn't meet or didn't realize they needed to do a thing (I've been there plenty of times :blush: ).

From a post on their forums about "the released state of the game being unacceptable in 2025":

In a section complaining about the UI:
QuoteFor a series known for complex but functional interfaces, this is honestly embarrassing.

Quote from: Valmy on November 17, 2025, 01:42:08 PMI get several notices every single month people are turning 16 and then I have to go check to see if I care about them. It gets rather exhausting.

And nobody wants to royal marry me since I am a dirty pagan. But I suspect when I play a non-Pagan country that will also be something I have to manage.

I think they mentioned that they're looking at getting that coming of age spam sorted. I hope it will be a setting where you can decide how much control you want, i.e. how distant a relative you want to handle manually vs. automate.

Budget passes 170-168. Two NDP and two Conservative absences (bringing the total votes needed down sufficiently), while the single Green MP decides to vote in favour once Carney committed to meet Canada's Paris targets (and, she said, because she knows Canadians do not want an election right now).

For now, all males born after 2007 must be examined for service. There is a plan to grow the military and if the planned numbers cannot be achieved with volunteers, there will be real conscription for a twelve month service period.

You have a point but what are the actual odds of Labour going with an ethnic minority lady over a white guy? :p

Quote from: Razgovory on November 17, 2025, 08:54:40 PMWhy was there a search warrant against Comey prior to 2021?

Because this entire case is about a statement Comey made in 2017. 
To get around the 5-year statute of limitations, they based the case on another statement in 2020 where he said he "stands by" the 2017 statement.

The warrant wasn't against Comey himself. It was issued against a friend of Comey who was also his attorney - and the warrant was issued and the search conducted in 2019 and 2020.

Why was this not addressed in Trump's first administration?  It was. An IG was appointed and issued a detailed report exonerating Comey and the matter was then dropped.
