Why don’t you have BTC payment options?
I have wondered about this as well. I don't feel comfortable with this whole refinance with new debt to pay old debt.
Saylor and others talk about it as though it's a nothing burger, but for some reason, it doesn't sit comfortably with me. I don't know why, and I would like to find out. I would like to understand what that thing that is acting as a thorn is.
Doesn’t matter even if the most idealistic person steps in. He will be a person inside a system of warped incentives and the outcomes won’t be any different
In the video you sent me, they're talking about releasing a new patch today or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the quick movement feature and the trade lens feature, which allows me to directly send a merchant to a city without having to locate the city on the map and click. The quick movement feature will help me progress through the game a lot faster. It's nice to see that they talk about all of the changes that they're making and the reasoning behind them.
I found that Ashoka, the Renouncer, is in a significantly better situation where there are limited happiness penalties even if the settlement count goes significantly high. Augusta's happiness penalty was very high. I mean, I'm only talking about scenarios where the settlement count has gone beyond the limit. Augusta's is good to get an additional settlement limit through Corona Civica. Still, apart from that, I found Ashoka to be much better for a high settlement count without happiness penalties.
Thanks for sharing the YouTube live link, pretty cool listening to the thinking behind it.
I have had five victories so far(Augustus, Xerxes, Ashoka, and Isabella) and have 23 mementos, and Viceroy is the maximum difficulty level I have played with. Corona Civica is my preferred one as it has an extra settlement limit. The happiness penalties are mad, except for Ashoka, whose happiness penalty is not an issue.
But my strategy has been to maximize the number of cities because that will help you maximize production and science and trade networks. This is probably why the Corona civica Memento has helped. While playing Ashoka, I once had a settlement count of almost 2x that of what was allowed, and I still didn't have riots in the city, which also felt like a cheat code. But with Caesar or Isabella or Xerxes, even if I had a settlement count of more than two or three than my limit, I would have riots and unrest. Once, even the citizens revolted, and the civilization went to another leader :P
Didn’t have too many wars, I rely a lot on diplomacy. I also tried a complete diplomacy route, but I realized that the AIs could randomly attack you in an unprovoked fashion. So I just made peace with the fact that the developers don't want a purely diplomatic solution, and frankly, I also enjoyed a little bit of war now and then to make things a little exciting, haha
Have you used planes yet? Hahaha! You know what, planes feel like a cheat code in Civilization 7! I don't know how to say this, but I maximize the settlements, cities, and science. I'm always leading in science in the modern age. The attack that I get with the planes is ridiculously high, and I have never been bombed back once. The worst that has happened to me in the Viceroy difficulty level is my plane got attacked when it went to bomb a fortified district, but I never got attacked or bombed in my own fortified district by AI opponent.
gives the scout the most vision range Have you played as the Incan civilization? I don't remember if it's Incan or the Mayan civilization, but their scouts have, by default, an extra movement and sight, which is pretty impressive. But yeah, I did try the extra scout movement from one of the earlier games, but I didn't follow up with that at the other times as I was exploring other mementos.
Your strategy makes complete sense. Since I was new to Civilization, I had little to lose. That's why I went to the latest release. I was thinking of purchasing Civilization 6 at the time, but I was like, nah, let's go with the latest one :)
Oh damn I didn't know that! So basically if there are two resources that spawn treasure fleets, then that's two points per fleet. Wow that changes things! Thanks a lot for sharing this. I'm gonna let you know once I get that badg.
I am also thinking we should have a discussion group where we talk about Civilization VII. Things like:
- What are the best mementos?
- Who are the best leaders with particular mementos?
- What are the best adjacency bonuses?
Yes, completely agree. But I have stumbled into these discussions.
I am wondering if there is a way where discoverability of these topics is easier. Then I will come to stacker news for these discussions instead of when I want to read Bitcoin related news
I'm addicted to this game - I've played over 100+ hours and have 14 Steam achievements. One thing that I haven't been able to do is complete the Economic Legacy path in the Exploration era. No matter how hard I try, I always fall short by one or two Treasury Fleets.
Do you have any tips to help me overcome this and complete the economic legacy path in the Exploration Era?
Me too. However, I have enjoyed discussions about music and video games, which have little to do with Bitcoin.
The approach and the context with which you open Stacker News are important. I think I have made an inherent assumption that I am opening this page for something related to Bitcoin, and I am just pleasantly surprised to find topics outside of Bitcoin that I engage in here. So maybe that's inherent in the application's name, Stacker News, with 'Stacker' at the forefront. So unless we redefine who stacker is, it will be difficult to eliminate that association.
But I don't think we want to get rid of the association. It's about a community of BTC stackers who enjoy other things in life and are not one-dimensional. I think that's a good direction to take rather than just focusing on Bitcoin conversations.
With inflation going out of hand, people are having to take debt to buy food. This is another side of the coin where the fiat machinery is pushing people to eat crickets and insects as the more sustainable option.
These are worth a mention as well

Thanks! I completed all milestones in scientific and militaristic legacy paths in the antiquity age. Those were my two achievements. Do you get some boost with those achievements in the subsequent turns?
Cool! I am new to the Civilization series, and Civ 7 is my first time. I have already clocked over 40 hours in two weeks. I think I have two steam achievements. What do the achievements mean?
