I’m actually in the process of attempting sous vide chili right now. I went a totally different route than you though.

I like going for it because it makes the game more complicated than the other victory types. Once you know how to get a cultural, diplomatic religious or whatever victory it seems to be the same thing over and over. At least when I go for domination I will get the world pissed at me so I can fight a multi fronted war.…

It seems like trade routes in VI are determined by the number of cities you currently hold, which is why I had such an obscenely high number of routes(I had a ton of cities) where, since you dont play with domination victory in mind, you probably have a pretty small empire.

You are stuck in a rather static time period in them, but I still think it’s worth given em a shot. I really enjoyed the first Rome:Total War (second one was a huge disappointment)

Beyond what? I don’t remember that one.... nope...never happened.

Have you played the Total War games? They seem to be pretty much what you’re looking for.

Which is why I LOVE that they added the clock back to VI. Having that missing from V screwed me up so many times. Oh, its only been like 2hrs at max.....

I played a game on a huge map for my first game and went the route of domination. By the end of up ~400 turns I had 39 trade routes. It was ridiculous.

Seriously. I had my two neighbors declare war on me a total of 5 times in the first 100 turns and then they’d only send a few bs units. Got denounced by every nation before I was even expanding my empire.

“It’s a lot more chilled, so anyone frustrated by their constant happiness handicaps in Civ V will be thrilled with this.”

Un-refrigerated eggs confused the hell outta me when I first moved to Central America. My whole life its been something that was kept in the fridge and now here I am where its literally 105 degrees and there are just flats of eggs laying out like its no big deal. Which I later learned it wasn’t, still, a bit jarring…

That’s one of the most impressive optical illusions I’ve seen. Usually you can see the image both ways once you have the solution. I literally can not see this as oily anymore.

I still can’t believe there is no earth map in the default types. I always loved playing that map and trying to test my geography skills in the early game to figure out where the hell I was.

Why is there a plastic bag on the knife hand? You’re not going to be touching peppers with that hand...

Yea I was confused as hell the first time I heard about someone having a reaction like this. As long as I wash my hands properly after handling ghosts etc, no problems.

“When you think about it, there is no reason to buy limes except for their juice.“

I’ve never played Civ Rev but heard the complexity was toned down quite a bit for it compared to normal Civ games. That said, I feel like if you were playing any iteration of Civ, you could get the hang of this one after a game or so. I say it’s worth giving it a shot, maybe start with Civ V though since its a lot…

Mannnnnn, was really hoping that chili won; supposed to enter a chili contest this week, woulda been great to see how sous vide handled it. Ah well, guess I’ll wing it :P

How long would you say this ginger paste is good for? Ginger is stupid cheap here (like 50 cents a pound), so I tend to use it in a LOT of my cooking. If i could roast up a few pounds to have on hand, that’d be great.
