>hurr, I have to zoom in to see the animu units
Get a bigger monitor. And in-game units aren't even the only way to show off the waifus. You can plaster them all over the main menu, the loading screens, the briefings, the cutscenes, the victory/defeat screens, the unit portraits, the army painter, the unit guide, the bonus content, etc.
If there's a good reason why anime RTSes aren't a thing, it's definitely not because of visual constraints.

In lower ranks sure. But if any better player knows what you're up to you're dead. Generally bad players don't scout as much and focus on doing whatever strat they decided before the game started. If they're going mech they're going mech no matter what.

How do you defend your bases in the early game? Either because I'm on a higher difficulty or due to Dio's meddling the attacks are a lot more frequent
I've lost 3 farming bases already - one to govs, one to ninjas and one to bandits
The strategy of stuffing outposts with peasants and dogs stopped working very quickly
>>
Use the security corridor. Time-honoured method of grouping in the next building along and hiding around corners, popping out to fire, and taking cover again. Gayops from governments are a good reason to keep your gothic raygun and axes around, that armor is no joke.

This week in history:
1010 – The Jews of Limoges, France are given the choice of baptism or exile.[48]
1012 – One of the first known persecutions of Jews in Germany: Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor expels Jews from Mainz.
1021 – A violent earthquake occurs, which some Greeks maintain is caused by a desecration of Jesus by the Jews. For this reason, a number of Roman Jews are burnt at the stake.
1078 – Council of Girona decrees Jews to pay taxes for support of the Catholic Church to the same extent as Christians.
1092 – The Synod of Szabolcs, Hungary prohibits Jews from working on Sunday or marrying Christians.
1096 – The People Crusaders led by Count Emicho, decides to attack the Jewish communities, most notably in the Rhineland, under the slogan: "Why fight Christ's enemies abroad when they are living among us?" 800 are killed in Worms. Another 1,200 Jews commit suicide in Mainz to escape his attempt to forcibly convert them and 600 are massacred in Mainz on 27 May. All in all, 5.000 Jews were murdered.
1099 – Jews fight side by side with Muslim soldiers to defend Jerusalem against the Crusaders and face massacres when it falls. The Crusaders set the synagogue on fire while the Jews were trapped inside. It is generally believed that hundreds of Jews died in the synagogue fire, and many more were killed throughout the city. Raymond of Aguilers, boasted of rivers of blood flowing through the streets of Jerusalem.

Tinto Flavour #2 - 17th of January 2025 - Florence

Hello, and welcome for the second week to Tinto Flavour, the new series in which we will show the flavour content of the latest super secret Project Caesar!

Today we will be taking a look at Florence! I hope you get visually stunned by what you see, but not a rapid heartbeat, fainting, confusion, or hallucinations, as it happened to Stendhal when he visited the city in 1817. So, let’s start!


The Florentine domain stands strong at the cusp of a new age! Our republic has stood the test of time and is located in a prime position to take advantage of our region's prosperity and affluence. Around us, rivaling states and potential allies all make their moves in a bid to influence and expand their territory in Italy. \n\nHowever, few are as well known for their aptitude in arts and cultural influence as our forums of thought in Florence. Under the guidance of a capable administration and an educated people, the coming century will elevate our people and have us shine brightly as pioneering innovators during a time of great enlightening.

And even though this also requires altering the layout a bit (since it would've been weirder to have longer die abilities form tall columns while the spaces under the die range values remain unused), most vanilla pages still fit on one page's worth of space, without needing scrolling to view all their dice. Some of them can now make even better use of the space they have.
The new version also makes keyword tooltips visible on slotted pages in combat (mostly important for enemies).

It’s shit. Sure it’s more polished than the first, but the story and feel is awful. The aliens no longer look like aliens. The only ones that look somewhat look alien are sectoids and mutons.

This covers pretty much all human civilisations. You can be a Quantity Civ like the USA, Russia, China, France and Rome. You can be a quality Civ like Germany, Sweden, Japan or Greece. Or you can be an innovation civ like the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Korea and Persia.
