[Midnight fireworks on New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day make sense. This does not.] Do you know what’s a strange time for a 4th of July fireworks show? 2:43 AM on July 5th. That’s when Philadelphia wound up setting off their display...

I've started a game in easy mode, to get to grips with army movements and suchlike. As this disables achievements, maybe I ought also to have taken advantage of enabling gender equality. Started with an independent duchy in France, that...
