I feel that Normal mode is too easy to kill everyone with but have a feeling that playing at higher difficulty rating would make the 3min missions harder to do...

I don't know how to take this comment...

Wow...glad I never got invested in it if they just dumped it off and jumped ship

I am guessing you don't follow the Crusader King II modding community? EVERY update breaks every mod...yet most, especially the bigger ones...keep at it...and if the original team doesn't they almost always hand it off

"IMPORTANT - MOST OF THE GRAPHICS YOU SEE HERE ARE PLACEHOLDERS - most significantly the POIs"

That's right above the first picture...just saying...

"Also of note on the map you'll see that farms (slight greening) have sprung up around the village near the river, which gives a bonus in food. It's a subtle effect right now, but if you followed our earlier screenshots we are considering a more obvious signifier."

also in the scenario editor you will be able to use any picture for POIs...which means POIs is restricted to a modders imagination and I am more than sure the actual game when done will have plenty of POI variety

Luckily I have a well of nearly endless patience...at least in most cases.

Unfortunately I am lacking in the friends department...so that hardly helps. I have found the community here to be far more intelligent on average than most places on the net...which is nice.

I am certainly more than willing to be flexible with my standards, and I am not so strict as to reject women who come my way; not without giving them a chance at least. That is a rare occurrence though...especially since I am looking for a local relationship. Long distance relationships have not been kind to me over the years.

I guess all I can really do is keep trying.

1) Do not get too flexible with standarts unless you want to do hooks up for one night. Small thing that are tradeoff for female company in begining will soon become big issues.

If I were willing to really lower my standards none of this would be an issue...luckily I am well aware of the dangers of such things

2) Why do you have few friends? Is it introversion or straight up assery? I have seen people who value inteligence trying to impress others with their. Which can backfire easily.

It is a combination of extreme introversion with the fact that I have not lived in the same area for more than a year for the last 7 years...working on changing that. Not that I can't be an ass...but I don't walk around flaunting my intelligence to impress people...it only impresses people that can respect it (if you go about it right) and annoys everyone else...which means a lot of people.

3) Good estimation of long distance. There is no point - just do not do that. Even with exceptional women - do not do that.

Mashup of things that helped me:

If you want brainy women, do brainy stuff. Also, get some distance and accept that wast majority of nerd/intj/geek/gamer culture is not really what brainy women consider brainy - and that woman not being into that or even hating it is not stupid.

I am well aware of this...people I interact with don't even realize I am a "gamer" until I explicitly tell them. I am not skinny nerd that has trouble with his hygiene because he spends 18 hours a day on WoW

You also need practice: You can easily ask out women on adult interest sites (sites where people share amateur nudies that are combined with dating sites). All you need is interesting enough message. Use this purely as practice. Hell, you can find quality escort to learn basics of bedroom date if you want to and get some serious confidence up.

I am not looking for sex or random relationships....so that definitely isn't happening. Practice is good...but I have no desire to pass myself around in the name of practice

I feel that focusing on label - as a INTJ cbut also other similar labels - is crippling by itself.

It gives one self-perception of being bad in social situations (however it does not automatically lead to being recluse or antisocial)

As for this point...I am not focusing on a label...nor am I using it as a crutch...saying "I am an INTJ" seems like a much easier and direct way to explain my personality than to sit here and try and detail my personality to everyone

I have it to a point where I need so little mental energy I choose this game when i can't focus well or am tired...and I still curb stomp things. But then again I also have almost 500 hours logged on it...

I don't think this is civ style...it strikes me as far more Crusader Kings-esque...

Elephants are super easy to take down...usually 1-2 volleys from javs is enough to start killing them in mass...arrows is more along the lines of 5-8 but the range makes up for that.

The hardest thing about them is the wonky HP system...so they last forever but when they start falling over they do it pretty much all at the same time
