Not really. Argentina is explicitly all about using crypto to get access to US Dollars. And they're all going through intermediaries, some who don't even control their own wallets and are just using available crypto exchanges. So

This is a Booster. I'm sure they could develop a primary vaccine that starts with this strain as the base.

Really the simpler answer is have a planning layer that can influence the lower agent decision weights. Top level AI is going for Domination Victory? Higher weight on making Military Units at your Cities. Pick a target and weight movement o

Mostly because the AI isn't able to really strategically "plan". Most of the work goes into iterating over all units and giving each an action based on certain metrics. Thus coordinating units and strategy isn't really p

Because then you're beholden to another country, which may be hostile to your country, and their money printer. With Bitcoin, no one has control!

Agreed. Turn-based, especially sprawling lots-of-choices like the 4X genre, don't work particularly well in MP. Instead you ideally need to move to simultaneous turns. Or be like the forums hounds who play 1 turn a day and analyze EVER

Personally the big break was Civ 5 moving to 1 Unit Per Tile. This had huge secondary edfects that even Civ6 have barely quite managed to wrangle. Unstacking both units and the cities has made a very different game now from the original Civ

Hitting critical mass was definitely the weakness for Savage. Natural Selection worked much better in that regard. About 6v6 was the sweet spot, but it worked alright on lower player counts and was absolute fun chaos at higher counts. It wa

It's death spiraled at this point with the only players left being the god-like skilled. So not especially newbie friendly, which just means the community shrinks more. Plus Unknown Worlds has moved on to Subnautica, so all updates are

Yup. I've often seen Chesterson's Fence trotted out as an argument to never change anything. Or at least place onerous burden of proof on the new change to prove itself. However, some times the circumstances that gave rise to the
