In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again. Ordinary changes, but enough to make me want to write about them, and even to start a new pos...

In which we talk about Civ's new Pack coming out!

Hello everyone, good morning!!!!! Hope you are having a nice day, and things are okay! I'm excited we are in November, almost December, one of the best months ever. It will be 3 months that I'm living in my new place, how crazy is that? I remember writing about moving and all the excitement that came with it! Wow! How is the weather? I sure miss winter, miss it everyday. I am worried about one of my succulents, it is with a parasite, and I don't know how to take care of it yet, but I should do something about it soon... Anyway, tomorrow is the day a DLC is coming out for Civ, one of my favorite games ever, and I'd love to chat a bit about it, don't expect a full lenghy analysis, just writing as the thoughts come out... Well, let's see what's new!

The city of Babylon is on the picture, what's left of it, today it looks desolated and hot, but this place was once the set of an important kingdom, which we'll talk about in a sec.
So, the Star of the new pack coming out is the new Civ: Babylon, with its new leader: Hammurabi! Joining Sumer in the fertile crescent region of ancient Iraq, they are all about science. Their Eurekas are OP, giving up the whole technology when they are activated, but, here's a catch, they get a massive penalty in science research, -50% of science production, which is insanely bad. We are going to see if their powerful eureka moments are gonna be enough to compensate for this nerf. This can open the opportunity for new gameplays, specially with their other bonus, where the first district of its kind starts with the tier 1 building in it. I strongly encourage that you go for culture when playing this Civ, and also building as many campuses as possible to balance it out the weak science production, and also to boost the production of great scientists, which acquisition will be crutial in order to catch up! I'd advise for some faith, too, but this is my advice for most civs, just invest in Culture, science, and faith, and you are good to go. Of course, going for some Economic districts is always advisable as well. I don't know if this will be the civ for those who like playing Domination, with the science penalty. But on Civ, really, I think most civs are versatile enough to be played in different ways. Of course, some are more designed towards a kind of victory, such as The Zulus and The Macedons for Domination, and Kongo not being able to pursuit a religious victory, but being insanely good at culture nonetheless, anyway, but overall, most civs can be lead in different ways! So if you want to try for domination with Babylon, I won't advise you against it!
This Pack is also coming out with the Heroes and Legends mode, which will give you access to insane new units such as Hercules, for example! They will have unique powers and will boost your civ in powerful ways! It won't be my mode, because it's one more focused on Domination, I fear, but I could play it maybe once or twice. I wish I could buy this pack in release, but since the last time I checked (yesterday) I don't have enough money to get it, will have to wait a couple of days before catching up with the pack. Let us hope for the best case scenario! If you have any doubts and want to know more about Civilization, let me know and I can write more about it in the future, you could add a comment or send me an email, or catch me on my social media! Either way, thank you so much for being here, wish you the best always, and happy Wednesday!
