I have tried playing the game recently but it appears as having negative space and it simply not loads, instead defaulting to the base game. Do any of you have any solution to that?
I play a game called Crusader Kings 3, and the way they portray the faith of various nomadic groups in the vast Steppe region is combining them all in a single large Tengrism faith, represented in game as a militaristic but also pluraristic faith with a focus on sky burials and ancestor workship (https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Pagan\_faiths#Single\_faith\_religions). While I'm well aware that the game often takes liberties and generalizations with religions in the game, specially pagan ones where they often use current neo-pagan movements as base for their faiths in the 9th century, I'm curious about how accurate or inaccurate was their portray of faith in the Steppe in the timeframe of the 9th century to 12th?
Seeing how influential the Church was in medieval times not only as an institution but also as a mental figure across Catholic society, and seeing how other moments of confrontation between the Papacy and secular rulers often ended up poorly for them, it always puzzled me how blatantly did Philip IV act with the Papacy at the time and yet he seemed to have mostly escaped retribution from the wider Catholic world and his vassals. How did he managed to do that?
I wonder if during the time as the leader of the URSS, Stalin ever chose policies specifically to favor Georgia or disproportionally brought Georgians to the top rings of the government.
I know how important the trans-saharan trade was in the middle ages, but even without it, did the Romans had any diplomatic, militarily or economic contact with the societies south of the Sahara?
Did the planners even seriously considered any other region for the landings, or Normandy was decided from the very start and any other supposed landing was just obfuscation to the Germans?
WW1 is generally recognized as the first global conflict, whatever, looking at history, some conflicts like the Seven Years Wars in geographic reach or the Napoleonic Wars in terms of the scale of the warfare seemed like could also fit the bill of World Wars. Before WW1, were any of these conflicts or some others considered a World War?
Super Mario to this day is the financially successful videogame series of all time, but even though is made by a Japanese company, their main protagonist is clealry based on Italian culture, specially his accent. Is there any particular reason they decided to base their main character off Italy?
We generally separate political movements in rightwing (more conservative) and leftwing (more progressive), and as far as I am aware this was true already by then, so how did the Nazi collectively see in the political spectrum? While I know that the Nazis are widely seen in modern historiography as far right, did they identified themselves as that too?
Looking at the Wikipedia page for most populous cities in the USA over the decades (List of most populous cities in the United States by decade - Wikipedia), it shows how dominant the broader Rust Belt was among the largest American cities till the later second half of the 20th century, but even with wide decay of the urban settlements of the region, Chicago and to a lesser extent Philadelphia managed to hold noticeably better than most cities in the region, with Chicago falling from the 2nd biggest city in 1950 to the third in 2020 while Philadelphia had a more noticeable from 3rd to 6th position, though both noticeably smaller than they were in 1950. How did they managed to hold their population size better than most cities in the Rust Belt?
The Iberian peninsula since the Catholic Monarchs is divided between two states, Portugal and Spain. Whatever, when one looks at the history of Iberia, there were multiple different Catholic realms that existed in the Peninsula before they were annexed by Castile, like the Kingdoms of Aragon and Galicia, for instance, and yet only Portugal escape the unification of the Peninsula under Castilian control. Why is that?
I just got curious to why the English word for sincerity is the same for the Germanic tribe that created modern France, and if there is a deeper connection between the two.
