In Which I Love Chocolates and Easter Bunnies and Specially in the Easter Season

Good afternoon, my good friend, reader of this post! How are you? How have you been over the past few days? I hope you may have a nice weekend! As for me, I am okay. Tuesday I had the therapy session for the psichoneurological exam, I still need to sort the internship issue, and also need to draw blood for my doctor appointment. On another note, I have not drawn much since finishing that big project I trust I mention another time, but I did work on a piece that satisfied me! Hopefully will do more before the end of March, but we'll see. As for the weather, I am please to say that the past two days or so have been more on the fresh side, thanks to the rain. I wonder if it can be kept until June, when the temperature will decidedly shift towards lesser heat. I am of course not holding my breath, autumn is volatile. Such variation means flu season is ongoing.  Before many of us noticed, we reached the end of March! To be fair, this time of year does not, in my opinion, passes as fast ...

In Which I win a VERY TOUGH GAME as Venice on Civ V

Good afternoon dear reader! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope all is well! How is the weather where you are? Let me tell you, wow, it got a bit colder, so much in fact I'm running my fan on the lowest speed. I'm also with my popsicle socks, but no sweater for today. Today I just wanted to share a CIV TALE with you guys! A short one, so don't worry! Let's jump into it, shall we?

So I wanted to play this game as Venice, on Civilization V, this civ is a very interesting one, as it can only found one city. All other cities it may acquire must be city-states, and you only may acquire them with the Merchant of Venice unique unit, that replaces the great merchant. Anyway, I was having a very tough game, Pocatello, leader of the Shoshone, was like 300 points ahead of me, building his spaceship, dominating all the other civs of his continent militarly, also with a very strong cultural game on the top of that. I was facing a giant, in every sense. But still I won.

How did I won? It was very last call resource, I had money by my side. One of the advantages of Venice is the abundance of Trade Routes it has. Well, I sent gifts of money to all the city states I could, the Shoshone could not compete on this field with me, I mean, I had to be good at something, right? First edition of the UN, I had Arabia and Morocco voting for me, but still, by only 5 points, I didn't win. I had to wait 12 more turns to manage to build my support and finally beat the monster that was the Shoshone. This was a solid one, but still was a close call.

I've been trying to play as Venice for over a week now, of course I've tried before again and again, and I succeeded before as well, but this is my first time playing as them in my new bedroom, so this means something to me! Hurray! Now, even if I'm taking a small break from Civ V, that will last for a couple of days, I'm already planning this game as Babylon, and this one I'm sure I'll succeed.

This is the small Civ Tale I'd like to share with you guys! Thank you so much for being here and for reading this, means a lot! And I see you all August 31st for our last post of the month, and to say hello to September!
