This one is fine, everything else is laziness. This is the one where the alternative costs money. I'm not paying some art school liberal dipshit to draw a picture I only need once. If I can find an existing image I'll use that, if not IDGAF how much it bothers you.

>Did the ottomans larp as the romans?
No. They saw conquering Constantinople as their holy goal, but once they got it they did not refer to themselves as inheritors of its (Roman) power, and regarded themselves as seperate from 'the Latins' (we would, ironically, call 'the Latins' Greeks today)
The state referred to itself officially as 'Sublime Ottoman State', 'Sublime State' and (later) 'Ottoman State', never as Roman, Latin etc.
They did not use Roman/Byzantine heraldry, though they largely kept the names of places the same (they only changed the name of Constantinople to Istanbul in the 19th century)
The one thing they did keep for a while were the coins, but that was probably a function of islamic law more or less outlawing banking.

>>97828871
The Ottoman Sultan did adopt "Kaiser i Rum" (Emperor of Rome) as one of his titles, but they didn't really emphasize it.

>>97828915
>Kaiser i Rum
Well yes, but Rum was already the name of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultanate_of_Rum
the name traces back to 'Roman', of course, through two or so other languages. These were the predecessors, who were shattered by the mongol conquest. They had quite good trade relations with the Europeans.
And yes, 'Kaiseri' is obviously 'Caesar', surprisingly close to german 'Kaiser'.

And they later referred to themselves as 'Osmanlı İmparatorluğu' literally 'Osman Empire' when tehy had achieved dominance over most of Araby, North Africa and Egypt.
The root there is also clearly 'Imperator'.
But this is still not really larping as Rome, or any continuation of Rome.

The one who did do that, even though it absoolutely was not a continuation, was Charlemagne.
He clearly read up on what history he could get a hold of, and used the image of a new 'Roman' Emperor.

They preserved byzantine architecture style (see Blue Mosque as example).

>Roll for the Galaxy. You're still building an engine but there's so much going on that the illusion holds up better
Roll and Race both end too early and unexpectedly. They are some of my favorite games but they have the "never really get to run your engine" problem where just as it comes on line the end condition is also present. That said the reason Roll is better/good is that there are a handful of ways you can chase an engine and the starting conditions really give you a base. Explore done properly is designed to let you tailor your empire whether it be yellow planets or military, it's all viable and makes each game feel different and interesting. And not that the end condition isn't necessary, usually another turn would be a huge VP swing we just always feel kind of blue balled when it's over.

I didn't like RDR (too long, not really COIN like imo) but I played Shadow Moon a couple times and enjoyed it a lot. There's a lot of tough choices around putting out disks, where, and taking them back plus all of the gumming up the works with card manipulation. The art is really nice too. Worth a buy if you have a group of 3 that aren't pussies.

If they would have made RDR with this art style, included a short and medium scenario, and made CORP and RECLAIMER less combat focused (ie like Syndicate in CL) it could have been the best COIN ever made.

Wars of Ozz reimagines Oz as a post-apocalyptic napoleonic war setting. The eponymous wizard taught the munchkins to use muskets and form up into ranks and the witches followed suit after getting their asses kicked by organized regimental midgets. It has rules for wizards and witches and units like skeletons or the flying monkeys, in addition to more normal napoleonic stuff like artillery and cavalry. It's very boomer coded though, if that matters.

It's about how much mana the wizard can control.

Anyone can be taught how to cast a specific spell (given enough time), but the amount of energy you can manipulate as a conduit without exploding is set in stone (without the use of external factors such as artifacts or self-adjusting rituals).

Yes, your mind wizard can just take control of the planet explosion wizard, but if the later has a higher mana capacity, then eventually he could be taught how to control the minds of a thousand wizards.

Unless that one mind you control has absolute control of planets and their people, I'd go with planet destroying power. You can at least threaten people into submission. Imagine trying to defeat an army by just controlling a single mind. Unless we get to some bullshit anime strategy of controlling billions of minds, one after another for a fraction of a second at a time to at least hinder their ability to stand against you.

I didn't have the patience for the third movie, is that something they establish there?
because Avatar 1 Quaritch was actually a reasonable guy, if clearly touched by war
we wasn't kill crazy, he was given a mission to protect the outpost against a wildly hostile environment, and he did his hardest to do that
he was also given orders to make mining operations happen, and he carries out those orders
but even then he only escalated when he felt he had to
you could see even he was a bit emotional when they burned the tree, but a job is a job

I rooted for humans in Avatar 1 because they had cool tech, they weren't fellated by the narrative like the navi, and because Quaritch was a legit badass

>>97829580
The only thing I know about the third no is is that he gets to fuck crazy Navi pussy

Some of the best HFY is the stuff that you wouldn't really brag about. For example, I've read HFY stories where humanity was by far the smallest species in the galaxy, basically inchlings compared to most other aliens. This allowed us to do very unique roles, but being super short compared to everyone else isn't exactly something you're going to feel badass or brag about, so it's much less cringey.

>>97829566
Yep, stay furious.

>>97829734
speaking of things you wouldn't necessarily brag about
humans sweating making them uniquely suited long labor in hot environments would also not necessarily being something to brag about, hell you could even have allies be kinda disgusted with it especially if it turns out most aliens have far better sense of smell than us, but it would still makes humans pretty valuable when you need a bunch of engineers who can keep your poorly cooled engine going 'round the clock

I dunno, I think the line up is fair enough. The only one that I'd say is kinda egregious is Senka.
Yuna was pretty much an Akina cheerleader in Deluxe and also Hikari's friend so I imagine Akina does feel some good will towards her.
Kyohma is essentially Erika's caretaker, so surely Akina likes/respects him to some extent.

They at least had the good sense of not including like Suzune, Ruka, Mirei and Raika just because they were in the Deluxe together, and god forbid fucking Yuyu.
