He made all kinds of retarded Tweets during the elections. One I remember was him saying that "Bernie shepherded all the youths back towards voting for Kamala" or something to that effect. I don't remember him saying that thing about Texas but if you go to his Xitter timeline and move back to the election period you're bound to find heaps of the most insane, retarded shit imaginable. QPQ also posted a lot of crap around the time but he was surprisingly more level-headed about it. Mango just doesn't have any social filter, I think.

I clicked on the steam page recently and some guy got banned for having the Red Cross symbol on their ship skin. Apparently that's a depiction of a warcrime because enemies will shoot at it, and that's a very bad thing.
At least the ban was overruled, but the comments were seething about virtual warcrimes and violating the Red Cross copyright (?). The community seems like cancer.

Yes.
There's two issues.
One, the red cross is a trademarked symbol owned and monopolized by the international society of the red cross. They have specific rules about how and where it can be used that are backed by UN charter.

And second is that the Geneva convention indicates that medical facilities, which are protected by international law mark themselves with the symbol of the red cross and that any legitimate medical facility thus marked is not a legitimate military target. Consequently, marking something with a red cross which is NOT an officially UN-sanctioned medical service abiding by the rules and conditions of the international society of the red cross is considered Perfidy, which is a war crime.

The ISRC vociferously litigates civil misuse of its iconography because there are of course real world implications of the internationally recognized symbol of "DONT BOMB THIS" becoming a meme. Sheltered teenagers chuckle at the apparent over-reaction but in virtually every case where this happens (and it happens a lot), the company responsible for hosting the multiplayer service received a very threatening Cease and Desist from a recognized UN body telling them to do something about this or else they'll be held accountable, and the game company has little recourse except to just ban the offending user.

Sierra had this down in 1999, why can't these devs do this in 2026?

These shouldn't need to be modded in. They should be base game along with an expandable minimap you can click and drag.

I'm starting to get scared the devs for DE don't actually have access to the source material.
Apparently Chronicles was made by a modding community, so that kinda confirms that suspicion.

>"THIS IS THE LAST ANNO! THERE WILL BE NO OTHERS AFTER THIS!!"

But let's say that's not true, what do you think they're doing next? They're probably going to do something gay like go back to the future, but what I want them to do is remake 1701 as a global game like 1800. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking:
>They'll just make it woke again!!!
That is true, but I think with AI it's easier to change characters to their correct race than it was when 1800 came out.
>Just mod 1800, faggot.
It's too difficult to take 1800 and try to make it 18th century. It's like making a completely different game.

1800 was the video game that taught me that I don't like the 19th century as much as I thought I did. Too industrialized. 18th century, pre-industrial revolution was the best time and it had fantastic architecture too. I hope they remake 1701.

Yes, but we can perfect it with modding. I have an idea for a video game that spans from 1650 to 1760, but I'm not talented in video game development in the slightest and I don't have millions of dollars. But when life gives us lemons, we make lemonade!

While the studio and most of the team are ziggers the lead designer/director in question is actually french. Though that still fits national stereotypes.
The communication issues have been going for a while now. In russian channels and interviews the team has been saying different things than had been the "official" stance but you wouldn't notice before unless you speak russian or follow the happenings very closely. This whole thing just made it spill out very publicly.
On top of that there's also the publisher who seems have no idea what either side of the team is doing and adds another layer of contradictory statements and community manager is an actual retard.

Finest Hour is a pretty fine update, but I really have no idea how you are supposed to take out the Churchill MK VII.

Especially as germany. The only units with enough armor penetration are the 10.5 artillery and the Jagdpanther - which is kind of a problem if there are three of these assholes.
How are you supposed to take them down?

Is Aldaris ever wrong outside of his hate for DT? He consistently called shit out correctly, he was just a giant asshole about it that made people not want to listen.
>>
>>2449466
>>2449575
Like I said. More naive than idiots...except for DuGalle. He was a true idiot here.
I mean Zeratul did give Kerrigan a chance after she said everything about the new Overmind and helped the Protoss obtain the Uraj and Khalis.
In case of Duke and Mengsk...I can see your point unless Mengsk had a contingency plan in case Kerrigan devastated his forces. But SCII never explained that nor Blizzard on how Mengsk rebound from that. If they said that Mengsk had secret factories build on Korhal since the whole Sons of Korhal days and build more of them in secrecy on other Dominion Worlds, and those factories spat out hardware without anyone noticing, then that would've explained how he managed to bounce back so fast after Kerrigan crippled him and neither the Umojans nor Kel-Morians managed to fill in the power vacuum.

And that's exactly the thing with Aldaris. Dude was an arse and he could've done it differently without needlessly going full revolt mode.

>except for DuGalle. He was a true idiot here.
Which again is because of writer fiat. He was extremely competent UNTIL Kerrigan starts being in the same room as him.

Yeah, but on the other hand why would you hear out some Duran guy who tells you the Psi-Disruptor is a threat to the UED?
The very fact that it DISRUPTS psychic stuff (and the Zerg are psionically linked to each other) would've instead proved to be brutally useful. Pity he realized that (and Duran's betrayal) after Stukov's death.
