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

Won my 1st game with Kush in Old World. Quite easily, and I allied with Numidia (tribe) and took over a bunch of their city sites. Only war was with Egypt (Orange) to protect my tribal ally and no cites were lost or gained. Points Victory

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

Egypt simply just ahead of me and I never got caught up. One major war fought in the middle, rather depleted my forces, which meant a slower than hoped for campaign against the tribes.

The gentle tinkle of this small waterfall rather ruined today by the aircraft in the background.

Double Victory (Had double the VPs of the #2 spot, guess this is easier in a dual) Used Hatti's unique fun power of any unit can chop trees to go scorched earth around places Assyria was trying to settle. No forests, or even scrub left for them. Starve them of wood. Quick win (77 turns)

Its a campfire cooking kind of night.

Goal was a quick win, ideally a double win as this is easier than I typically run. In the end I won, in 101 turns so pretty fast, and flirted with the Double win from about turn 48 through 60. First time playing a random desert map, it is definitely different. Some cities close, others apart

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

Another Old World Game Kush - Large Random Map (Archipelago) Carthage got a VP win just before I got an Ambitions win. Their war with Persia went faster than mine with Greece.

He sure cares about that $400 million dollar Ballroom and Israel and his crypto grift. But Americans he doesn't think about.

Chicago has thousands of vacant lots, full of potential but left untouched for years. These could be homes. These could be businesses. This could be hope for a neighborhood that’s been waiting too long. It’s time for leadership that doesn’t just talk about potential but turns it into progress.
