But do they know the difference between Istanbul and Constantinople?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
Why’d they change it?
I can’t say.
Maybe people just liked it better that way?
Could you take me back to Constantinople?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
i think the city had several names and the official byzantine name was after constantine, it makes sense that after the ottomans took the city they didn’t keep honoring the dude they took it from. they started using other names along with constantine’s, and and eventually this one won out.
Official name of Constantinople was Konstantiniye in Ottoman, just pronounciation of same word.
And Actually Istanbul is not named by Turks, it is not Turkish. Most believed theory is that when city grew in 18th century, like circles around old city by suburs and outskirts, Greeks among new residents started tlaks about these areas as stampoli (or however it is written in Greek), translate as “stam” means “to” or “near”, “poli” means “city”. And after a while, since population and area of old city became so small in comparison, by 19th century locals from all nation started called city Stampoli or however they can pronounce, such Turks as Istampul. That became İstanbul (easier to say) and it wasn’t until Turkey it was official name.
But what about Istanbul and Konstantiniyye?
Who doesn’t know the difference? One is green, the other is purple, it’s simple.
One has a good sword unit early game, the other gets grenadiers mid-to-late game.
Just paint a map on your skin and ask “conquer me”…
original?
Clearly photoshopped, can’t be. Words are not aligned
yeah, but where’s the original?
Tell me more about the SSD.
Ah i thought you were asking if that was the original, don’t mind me lol
Still going to need casus belli
You didn’t religious ideas for the Deus Vult casus belli?
Not when I am surrounded by heathens.
Oh my god this would work
Um, it’s called RTS. Helloooo.
It’s probably called a GSG (Grand Strategy Game). Almost all “map painting simulators” are GSGs.
Pretty sure they’re talking about something more like Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis than Age of Empires.
unless it’s civ which is turn based
I wonder what RTS Civ would be like 🤔
Age of Empires II?
Total War. Turn based map movement and economy, RTS battles.
Civ is prehistory to futuristic. AoE2 is mediaeval.
Empire Earth or Rise of Nations would be a better answer to @[email protected]’s question.
Fuck yeah, loved both of those. Especially empire earth. Great campaign.
I’ve never actually played them. Would love to try them out, but I’m afraid they’d be too dated. Would love to see them get a Definitive Edition similar to what Age of Empires has received.
I’ve got empire earth gold on gog. It’s an old game, with old graphics, but it’s still fine, tbh. Gameplay-wise it’s pretty timeless, imo.
Here in europe both are taught in elementary school.
Edit: spelling
Not in all of Europe, they completely ignored everything west of Germany in the medieval period here.
But both are east of Germany, so why are they ignored? Or did you mean that they only focused on stuff that happened west of Germany?
Yeah, could have written that clearer I suppose. China only started existing during the rise of communism for example.
Whereas they ignored everything East of France over here.
Actually, I went to school in Scotland so our teachers also tried to ignore everything south of the border too.
“Today we’ll learn about the Picts”. I went to school in Iceland, they taught us a lot of Icelandic history and only allocated one week to 600 years of legalised slavery.
People were not property in Iceland, but, if you didn’t have enough land to support something like 3 cows you were forced to go into service of a farmer for a year. During that year you could leave and die, go to another farm and hope they have food for you or die or swap and get beaten up for not working all waking hours and only maybe die.
The church backed the people up when Iceland was Catholic but with protestantism land was transferred to Denmark and then leased to the farm-archy (agrarchy?).
Iceland was poorer than Romania 120 years ago because fishing villages were illegal. All fishing was property of the farmer that was the current master of the person. They also made law that banned people from getting married without permission of the farmer and supposedly there was a lot of gay sex back then.
I found out about this when I was 30 lol.
“Taught.”
I apologize for English.
Never apologize for what the Sea Germans and Sea Germans From France did to us
My bad
Oh yeach there is that one eu4 streamer with a girlfriend. Truly a rare breed.
It does not. Why do you think all the rich people resort to drugs and shit? They’re just chasing that dragon because they’ve forgotten what it’s all about.
Not always true, sometimes it’s Elden Ring
It’s just Left Turkey versus Right Turkey, isn’t it?
Well
More like West and East these days. They’re pretty thoroughly right everywhere now.
I mean, one was Christian, one was Muslim, it’s debateable how significant other differences are.

I read “map” as “minor-attracted persons” and was very confused for a moment.
That’s a very upsetting term to hear.
it was a 4chan psyop, created to link LGBTQ+ people to pedophiles. And then some pedophiles coopted it. Ever since then some right wing idiots point to MAPs and go: “you actually want pedos to join you”, eventhoigh they have never been allowed to any pride event im aware of.
Yeah, it’s basically pedophiles trying to rebrand themselves. You don’t hear it much outside a few open pedophiles on social media and the whole radqueer community. If you’re on one of the few instances that don’t block them there’s even a radqueer Lemmy instance if you’re curious how messed up they are.
Gross. I think I’ll happily steer clear of that.
I assume this is an assassin’s creed joke. I’ve not played it recently so I have no idea what we’re doing anymore
This is an EU4 / CK3 / HOI4 joke
If he can lay down a four-belt balancer from memory, you are the side hoe to his Factorio addiction.
Four to four balancer ist easy. How about a eight by eight?
I was about to say this. At LEAST wait for a 6 belt balancer to think the man can’t be saved.
Which one? The shortest one with the bump on the side, or the narrow on that is never wider than 8 belts?? Here, let me show yo…. Ohmigawd.
Yeah, my first thought is that the ‘map games’ are the side hoe to my factory game addiction, which is mostly Factorio.
Her: "He’s thinking about other women now…isn’t he?
Him: “If I rebuilt my rocket control units factory, I could reach a rocket launch every 4 minutes vs 4.5. Then if I optimize my platform in space…”
Platform in space? What what what? Is it time to sink another 100 hours?
Check out the Space Exploration Mod. The Vanilla game is like the first 10% of the mod. It’s truly a lot. It’s so good that the modder was hired to help make the expansion.
I avoid mods for Factorio because it feels like switching from heroin to fentanyl
All freebasing the dopamine loop. Straight chasing the verisimilitude dragon. Cold bioengineering a 99% pure micro-accomplishment. Dropping into the euphoric liminal pool until immersed in a digital dream you can never fully reach, and never fully escape until you are inevitably forced to surface in the real. Cold and wet with the silt of the riverbed you scream to the Gods ‘‘WHY WON’T YOU KILL ME, I AM, WEAK AND, NUMB AND, INSIGNIFICANT!’’
I have Factorio and Stellaris in my steam wish list but every time a sale comes up I’m still laying plans for a reactor building or organ “donation” center in Rimworld and realize if I buy more of these I’ll just never sleep or eat again.
Factorio has never gone on sale. The price did go up from US$30 to $35 during the worst of the inflation. At some point this year, we’ll get a version 2.0 that massively updates the core game, and has an expansion you can optionally purchase.
Probably but if you’re getting your high, is it really so wrong?
:p
Or patiently await version 2 😁
100? Barely enough to get to space
I play Satisfactory instead, but I felt that in my soul.
We may pray to different gods, but the factories must grow.
Map man map man map map map men men men
Who are you, and where’s the map!?
Obscure and good
