He ruined the lives of many others. The writer of High Noon comes to mind.
He was a POS that would sadly fit perfectly in the current era.
I read that Trumbo wrote a book defending the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and turned people in to the FBI who tried to buy his anti-war book during the war.

I will try it now, looks spectacular if you like that kind of game.Did not care for the anno games. I like colony games where you can sell off several hundred pounds of Yorkshire terrier meat and human skin without people asking to many questions.

Playing Hungary?
Incredible, this game can predict the future. I assume you managed to get rid of Orban and advance to Renaissance era governance.

Last post by Tamas - November 16, 2025, 04:56:36 PMHaving reached the 1600s I still feel the most obvious shortcoming is AI countries being either unable or unwilling to push back.
I am able to manage my several decently strong vassals and I am able to maintain the contentment of all estates (except for short periods of dissatisfaction) despite having culled Noble and clergy power to the degree that the Crown has 51%.
The thing is though, since I don't really know what I am doing economically, achieving all this seems to be keeping my budget balanced on a tight rope. It feels like if there was a sustained strain, like conflict with at least a peer, then things could start unravelling. I guess you can say that's what happened to historic Hungary. On paper it was big and rich but was too mismanaged to rise to the challenge posed by the Ottomans.
But there is no challenger in my game. To some degree that's understandable (Bohemia could kick my ass but it's make sense they don't want to bother) but it feels like the AI is too risk averse.

Last post by Norgy - November 16, 2025, 04:43:56 PMI think that second half by Norway was above average. Italy had not lost a WC qualifying game at home in 55 matches.
Well. They did today. By a marginal 4-1 win for Norway.
Sorry folks. Norway might be tough to beat in next summer's World Cup.

There are many beloved celebrities from the past who I am very glad never had access to social media.

Last post by Duque de Bragança - November 16, 2025, 02:45:25 PMIreland had quite a qualifier finish with a 2-0 victory against Portugal, and a 3-2 vs Hungary . The later, at the 96th minute (stoppage time).
Play-offs for Ireland.
The Selecção, angry after failing to qualify early against Hungary (tied in stoppage time) and Ireland vide supra, thrashed Armenia 9-1 without Ronaldo, which meant there were 11 players on the pitch, not 10.5.
However, bad defense (hello Cancelo) enabled Armenia to tie early in the game.
Martinez chose less "Saudi" players and even Bruno Fernandes played well enough.
Italy needs to win 9-0 against Norway to be sure to qualify for the tournament next summer. Won't happen. On the other hand, play-offs are guaranteed but bring back bad memories to La Nazionale.
