This was a fun one of #OldWorld. Random map was Archipelago Random nation was Persia Key early step was becoming Allied to the Vandals (getting lots of vision). It didn't last, but was also renewed towards the end for a final settlement push in the North West to get the VPs met

Went for a bike ride today with my son rather than a hike. So here is a small waterfall from yesterday

Scenes from today's Hike. Happy New Year folks.

One more Old World report before I fire up a different game next time. Large random world (Mediterranean) Random Nation/leader - Babylon/Neb The Strong difficulty Loss on turn 148 VP - Hatti

4th game as Kush, and did much better. Much more aggressive in grabbing the tribal lands, and got a comfortable start. Hatti came at me (bro!) and got defeated in detail in their mobile forces, and the one city I captured was going to be only the start. I had a 20VP lead so just needed to play safe

Rome in Old World. Single Player Islands Random map. "The Strong" level (one above "The Good" I have been playing on. Simple outcome, everyone was so settled on their islands (except Persia who jumped over) that it was almost impossible to force a bridgehead. Never playing this map style again

Old World random large map - Coastal Random nation - Babylon The Strong difficulty Took the loss here. Rome was well ahead in VPs, but 3 leaders in the space of about 10 years left me with too many unexpected legacy ambitions to try top win that way.

Random map - Hard Wood Forest Random leader - Cyrus/Persia The Strong difficulty. Points win. Apologies, I can't alter the Egyptian Orange which is super close to Persian red when over forests. Good expansion versus the tribes, using Cyrus and other generals to make a difference.

2nd game as Kush, chose a different leader this time. Going to cycle through them (started with the 5th and did the 4th, so I guess reverse order) Minor early war with Persia, mostly as I settled that Southern city. Another more major war just as the game was ending.

#OldWorld on a rainy day. Random everything except size (large) nations (6) and difficulty (the Good). Solid jump out of the gate and worked hard to keep people mostly peaceful, including trading a newly settled city to Babylon for a Peace treaty.

If you're qualified to do the job, you should be able to do it. That's why I introduced the Warrior Act, which would finally codify women's roles in our military.

Bio engineered chocolate is not only a health risk to those of us who consume it, It is also a risk to those producers who depend on cocoa production for their livelihood. The list of things Zionists/Israelis haven’t touched or messed with is a very short list…

Brexiters assume the risk of losing GBP to Euro will prevent Brits from rejoining EU Yet young Brits today never touch cash to see British Queen/King on coins & notes… They pay with apps on their phones and don’t care if phones send/receive pounds or euros. They’ll happily dump GBP to rejoin EU

Them adding a missile deflect in the later games keeps messing with my muscle memory. But it’s good to be playing Gungrave again after so long.

Trump siccing his DOJ attack dogs against E Jean Carroll is one of the most disgusting things he's done.
