Longtime AOE2 vet here. Finally tried AOE4 and was surprised how good it is. Gave this a spin, pretty neat seeing an AI break down my mess of a game. Curious how it handles civ-specific strats or greedy builds vs. pressure timings?

what are the benchmarks?

also google probably should delete all new entries from Ukraine or review them manually. if deleting all of them is difficult for users maybe maybe op want to create falses? idk

been there. very enigmatic place, no symbols no text no remnants. just huge walls on the hills and around.

beautiful and informative

I feel its the same story in the theoretical departments in academia.

"Early settlers worked this ground to grow crops and domesticate animals; eventually, around 6,000 years ago, agriculture led to urbanization. These early cities — Eridu, Uruk, Ur and others — relied heavily on the natural resources of the marshes and were strung along waterways and latticed with canals to give access to the plains, the Gulf and to one another. " this people weren't arabs as far as I know arabs came 1500 years ago. I know language is not ethnicity but the Sumerian and Akkadian cultures are dead for long time. the story is s still sad but its the same story every where

countries do hit jobs rarely and when they do its clear this person was involved 100% of the time. That's the only case people get killed in the name of “counter terrorism”. the discussion was about banning an organization not a person.

this is biased for countries which are not under conflict and don't get accused by the other side every other week

but since when governments need to provide evidence and to whom? the world government? Can I go to random governments around the world and ask them to show evidence about their security issues to my organization?

or maybe its conflict of interests. I'm not talking of the general situation but about this action by Israel government and the response. And this all human right groups are funded by the EU if its private or public it doesn't matter from the Israeli government perspective. Or maybe this groups doesn't know everything? why their members opinion is more accepted than the Israeli politicians who did that? some of them are even have pro-Palestinian independence stance

why Israel need to answer to EU and why everything EU does is automatically right?

Its not the competition that is bad. Is the things we have to fight with each other to get. humans conquered all of the earth twice, now we fight on how to divide the prize and get to the top of society. thats the struggle of being alive as a human, if you are Chinese or American or anything.

economy is reflected by the the decisions of individuals and groups and what they priorities.

Im not talking about post-scarcity economy Im talking about trying to get there, right now it feels we only moving away from it, and the labor we do is not constructive to us or valued very little.

screens will never replace windows

are we all stuck in competition with each other about who is more productive and smart? the economy is the embodiment of that fact and will just extract us as much as its can forever? is it possible to build and own our life instead of being forced to labor until near the end of life? why technology improved so much but the work is never done? can individual have control of his life or we stuck in doing what the economy dedicates? is there a place on earth is not owned by anyone?

yes but you also need to be able to afford nice house for kids

I don't understand why you being downvoted, what is wrong with bible treasure hunting or validating one of the oldest books. if the bible was some part wrong it doesn't mean anything in it is false

nice article. but 700 BC is my be more fitted to another biblical story. sorry I forgot exactly which one but there is a story about a battle that ended when god rained fire on one of the sides

Dilmun[0] a ancient city contemporary to Akkadian culture in todays Bahrain was the place where that Utnapishtim was set to live forever and other similarities in mythology with Garden of Edan, although it was a great culture by itself.

Cedar Forest [1] in Lebanon was a sacred place in the ancient world and had big appearance in Gilgamesh story. the forest was famous for its premium tress to build temples in some of the cultures around and the most famous one was the legendry the temple of Solomon. also Ugarit was a city where many interesting texts were found with huge similarity for later bible story

Its more complicated then that. for example Akkadian is a language that used the Sumerian cuneiform. the way they used it was divided into two. Sumerian was written in a simple way that in which every word have unique symbol. the first advancement in written happened with the second written language Akkadian as so: first, because of many words in Sumerian had only 1 consonant the Akkadians used the symbol of that word to represent 1 consonant. let say the world Ki in Sumerian meant a star and had a symbol * you can use that symbol in you language to write *d and read it "kid" (but you also need a sign for d, I don't have real example). second the used complete Sumerian symbols but read them in Akkadian like Korean used Chinese symbols until 1500. this got evolved until the Assyrian which used old Akkadian system and the new (normal) alphabet system that was invented by the Phoenician long time after.

most famous is flood story and creation myth which have big similarity with the bible. also Habiru/afiru people have been theorized to be ancient Hebrew. also big parallax between Baal and the bible god and many traditions that were common all over the ancient near east, as well as myths.

on YouTube 3 channels I really recommend : history with CY - very easy to follow animated videos and great narration , Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages - have everything and good quality, also talk about mythology. World of Antiquity - most scientific vibe

maybe its the lost city of Akkad. capital of the first empire

suggestion: sometimes it is better to be challenged and not to translate everything. I wish there was a way to only translate some of the world with some dictionary of words you don't want to translate.(you already know them)

somehow, when we look at human life as the preciousest thing, the act deleting communities and cultures altogether stings our souls on another level.

Humans typing slow, the end is near! It doesn't matter how fast you type what matter is you don't always type stuff like this

you still needs adar II, some people were born in that month. it comes every 4 years I think
