Did I mention that my RNW has a giant, High American, Incan empire? Because my RNW has a giant, High American, Incan empire. They don't like France, nor me, but they've kept to themselves mostly.

I also found some mushrooms in the new world.

IS THAT ACTUALLY DANISH BLORG?
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

I tried learning Esperanto once. It's decently interesting, and not that hard, but it's really just a thing you do for shits and giggles.

Or even better, talk Maltese. Whenever somebody accuses you of being Arabic, say you're speaking Maltese, an European language.

The name 'Imperium Esperantine'... Mmmhm, not quite. What do you think of 'Imperium Romanum'?

EDIT: Also, pl0x, Latin. That's better than Esperanto :P
Latin superior over all languages.

Of course it's actually Danish Blorg. Because I called it Danish Blorg.

The squid is the sigil of House Greyjoy, lords of the Iron Islands. They're a society of viking-esque raiders who believe it weak to buy what they want(to pay the gold price) instead of taking it by force(to pay the iron price).

It's a Game of Throne/Song Of Ice And Fire reference.

Yes. Except the achievements that require the Americas, obviously. I got the world discoverer one with a RNW, which I thought was weird.

Looks like the Germanics finally finished their invasion.

Played some games with ToG! Two games have stuck:\
Jorvik in ToG.
Magyars turned Zoroastrians in ToG.

I'm hoping to have all of Hungary converted to Zoroastrianism and an empire.
