I'm going to throw some teabags, water, and half a lemon and peach into a big jar overnight (so maybe 10-12 hours steeping before I remove the bags), but not sure if it's the same "one bag per mug" as I would do for a reuglar mug.

I keep hearing towns are getting better and better, and you shouldn't make tons of cities anymore, and that 2-3 cities is a good number (plus lots of towns). But I often find it feels off if I don't end up with like, 5-6 cities by the middle of exploration, there are too many good spots to have just warehouse buildings and a few "whatever you specialize in" buildings. Especially in culture victory games where you end up "losign" a lot of tiles to making wonders

after civ 4 (where they were just generic vikings without being a specific nation), at least. in civ 5, it was the danish. in 6, norway. in 7, iceland. in 8 presumably it'll be sweden.

Yeah, 5 and 6 have Sweden too, but they're later-era Sweden, not Viking era. How about, next game, blood raider viking era Sweden and commerce/industry modern Denmark who gets bonuses to like, maritime shipping and domestic happiness boosts?

like, you can't start as a modern-apex civ (like America) in antiquity, and then go back and pick an exploration-apex civ (like Spain) for exploration? What are the rules...?

yet another clueless American here - I said "possiamo avere due caffe?" in a restaurant and the server seemed to think it was funny, and the friend I was with (who doesn't speak much Italian, but who is nearly native level in Spanish) said "I think that is correct, but you probably sound like a textbook, there are many technically correct ways to say things in Spanish that nobody actually says"

I think America plays great in antiquity, getting gold for improving resources when they're all up for grabs is nuts

Not counting stuff that just scales per era

feels too OP if I use them and they don't

I moved here for work and don't really know anyone. I've done that in two cities in the past and in those cases I had some good luck meeting friend groups on meetup.com or the local subreddit looking for local hiking groups, bar trivia things, board game groups, etc.

It doens't seem like... there's much of that going on here? There's definitely bars and lots of nerdy people, but not many meetups listed as far as I can see. Not even many close in the areas of DC close to DTSS either... it looks like all of this kinda stuff in the DMV area is in like NOVA, and a little bit in like Rockville/Gaithursberg (which isn't that far for a hiking thing, but it kinda is if it's a bar event and you want to take transit and not drive)

I don't use facebook so maybe that's part of my problem but I dind't need it in the other places...

Moved here recently. I've gone to trivia at Mcginty's twice and there were not many people there compared to when I used to do this regularly in other cities I've lived. How about the others? Bonus if there's enough people that I might be able to hop on a team, I don't do too good playing by myself lol... it'd be nice to meet people!
