In any round though you only have 1 vote still, it's just collecting the votes ahead of time? The only thing you lose is knowing who is in each round in advance?

In your example, wouldn't the same candidates have been knocked out in each round regardless?

I was more thinking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps

More than 1 million cubic kilometres of lava. Enough gasses to cause a mass extinction event.

Not sure why they had problems doing the ride with an anti-gravity bike!?!

Ugh, life took ages to get started. Lazy bacteria!

It's still a hell of a long time if you consider that the entirety of recorded (ish) history is only a few thousand years long.

Updated comment to remove an order of magnitude.

It's not X turning into Y when it comes to evolution. There were all kinds of different dinosaurs, that evolved I to all kinds of different niches. Most of those then went extinct due to rocks falling from the sky, or the entirety of India turning into a huge volcano etc.

So it's not that a T-Rex turned into a chicken, it's that T-Rexs lived alongside other dinosaurs that developed feathers and filled more niches etc. those that survived eventually became birds. (Have you ever seen an Emu up close?!? No wonder the Australians lost to them 🤣)

Disclaimer: I have no specific knowledge. Also, remember this happened over (~~billions?~~ hundreds of millions) of years.

Other comments about just not noticing feathers are valid too.

Wow, this is a long read. Well worth it for anyone who got caught in Rome TW2's hype and subsequent disappointment.

Would be good to see what other games he later worked on. Will try to remember to look him up on linkedin when I have time

That's the routers business model though

A) discord

B) make friends with one person that does this or plays with other groups, then join them when they are playing with others

They are doing it as one book instead of splitting?

The art on the side is cool if they are actually doing that!

Edit: you posted this just before the instance crashed unfortunately 😕

It's probably a single dev that made the decision, then moves onto something else. They (probably?) don't have the ability to just raise a recurring PO etc to easily pay you and don't care enough to worth through the paperwork.

If you had a paid licencing model they may have done it, or just found another lib/ wrote their own.

the tournaments one is very well reviewed. The Norse one is worth it if you want to play the Nordics.

Royal Court is mostly only good if you want to make the game easier (you get lots more equitable artifacts etc). It sounds like they are improving this to make the actual court bit more interesting.

The event pack/friend and Foes are normally considered not great, possibly even negative, but it sounds like they are updating them to fix the event frequency.

unsure on the rest.
