Will the strategy stages be more like grand strategy, 4x, or something else?

Edit: Also what does it mean when the post number is orange or bolded?

I think the specific details are still up to debate.

@Flagella

Also what does it mean when the post number is orange or bolded?

Do you mean when you’re looking from the latest forum page or the main forum page? The more orange it is the higher engagement the thread got iirc

I was looking at it from the categories page, but it appears everywhere.

@aah31415

That’s kinda what I thought after considering it for a bit.

Too bad you can’t view this engagement color on mobile then

Last time I checked you could…

On another note, since I am new, and thus inexperienced in forum culture, I have been scared to post much due to the possibility of accidentally posting something in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do you have any advice for me to avoid situations like the one I described last sentence?

I mean you usually need to watch out for such troublesome conversations, which I believe are rather rare in this place. So for most threads and times you won’t need to worry about that

Seems easy as long as I can avoid them. Thank you for the advice!

Also you should probably avoid posting in “solved” topics, that is where there’s (almost) nothing more to be added

[Rocketsgobrrrr]

You should start a topic on Underwater Civilizations and title it, “Underwater Civilizations 5.0 why it is possible and we’re not delusional”. hhyyrylainen will totally not smite you.

I’m pretty sure we’re already past 5.0 on the counter btw

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

We know “Stone Age” Civilizations are possible. We can’t yet prove they can:

• Make Concrete
• Smelt Metal
• Make a Combustion Engine (either External (Steam) or Internal (Petroleum/Bio Fuel))
• Make an Overland Breathing Apparatus/Suit
• Make Rubber or Plastic

I am working on an argument that they can make a Waterproof Adhesive that is also an Edible Antioxidant, which could not only be used as a Sealant to waterproof Wood and Clay objects, but also as a Preservative and Rust Preventative. It is my intent to subsequently proving they could make a Crane to lift a Brick and Mortar Wood burning Oven out of the water, but 1 step at a time, and"Part 1" is not quite yet 2/3rds done, though I hope to reach that point soon.

What do you plan to title the part 1 thread again?

[Flagella (Leader of the Formic Union Space Agency (ON VACATION))]

No. If you want to get smited by the devs, go right ahead and make it yourself.

@Rocketsgobrrrr

hhyyrylainen will totally not smite you.

This is most certainly a lie made to conceive me into making a pointless thread that I don’t even have the knowledge to argue for.

I think poodel knows well what this underwater trial of his requires to pass and not be deleted by the lords of this site

@aah31415

I am well aware of that, which is why I wasn’t talking to poodel. I was talking about the post that Rocketsgobrrrr made right before that.

I think they were being satirical

[Flagella (Leader of the Formic Union Space Agency (ON VACATION))]

They probably were, which is just another reason why I need to learn to stop taking jokes seriously…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I have recently learned such serious people are apparently called plonkers or something like that

[Flagella (Leader of the Formic Union Space Agency (ON VACATION))]

@aah31415

plonkers

Found this which explains what it actually means:
