  • Rothbardian libertarianism (aka ancap) is liberalism. He’s been on the record about it being a con.

    Traditionally the term means anarchist. The concept of an NAP (which amounts to the legalized protection of inequality) is liberal, not anarchist. Anarchism supports the physical protection of equality because inequality is hierarchy.




  • Stacking wasn’t perfect but even with stacks of doom it allowed for a balanced variety of viable playstyles. You pretty much have to cheese a min/max urban sprawl (iirc - it’s been years) on Civ5 to beat the higher difficulty levels because of the differences in action economy, which undermines replayability. Replayability is the heart of Civ.

    Some changes in G&K seemed like they were designed to patch the economics to a degree.

    I was poor and didn’t want to have to pay for a patch, so I ended up getting tired out on vanilla and didn’t get into G&K much by the time I could justify buying it. But from the discussions I’ve seen the issue was too fundamental to simply be patched over. It’s still a good game but Civ4 reigns as king imo.
