I found Skylines to be a lot less arcade-like compared to City 2000. Really enjoyed playing it when I got the chance. There's loads of DLC and mods too.

I look forward to seeing what they do with this. I found the last game to be really enjoyable, but it did just seem like a traffic simulator at times!

The original concept map I made before changing the naming system. As you can see each Dukedom has their own unique purpose.

I've recently started World Building / Creative Writing as a hobby to try and do something away from a screen for once. I've been really enjoying it and wondered if anyone else did anything similar?

Been enjoying RL a lot, it's always been my go-to game but I'm glad a few FGers are starting to play it regularly too.
 
Nice goal @crippled_viper!
 
Need to remember to record and upload a few of mine.

The YouTubers I watch are enjoying it and I think it looks like a good game.

I made a few sketches and then used a website called Inkarnate. Really useful.

I have done in the past, I used to be quite a big fan of fantasy novels and such, I have quite a few series of books and though we are trying to get rid of stuff out of the house I can't bare to part with them ^_^
 
That enjoyment of them has led me to writing up ideas if you like for my own fantasy novels, that has included world building, character creation and such. It tend's to be that when I write (or type) something the words tend to flow, even now when I type this I don't really know what I am going to write until I do it! But yeah it was always the way when I used to write in that I never sat down and came up with ideas in the sense, ah I want 7 houses and they are at war and there are these alliances, I would write like I was following a group i.e. akin to the lord of the rings stories or the Eragon books so I would be creating and experiencing the adventure / world as a someone wholly new to it would experience it. Whether that translates to good creative writing or not I have no idea!
 
I think my issue with keeping it going and actually creating a full length novel has always been time and that has only become much more reduced with little un's. It is one of those things I have always wanted to do is release a novel, I know Elliot's book is an entirely different category but I do have some respect to him for making it happen. I have never really had the confidence to go out and explore how to make something like that happen.
 
That said James, if you are starting to get into it now, I know DnD dungeon masters benefit from creative writing in that being able to come up with their own scenarios and such, hint hint 😉

Thought I'd share a little snippet of my own personal local club team. Coundon Court Ladies made history on Sunday, winning 2-0 in the last Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. First time ever making the 1st Round proper which is incredible. For a team that hasn't got the name or badge that people flock to in Coventry, we still are the highest ranked team in the City and this win was such good fun to be a part of. First goal was pure class...especially being in the crowd just where Jess slides off to celebrate! Same colours as FG too, clearly written in the stars ❤️🖤

Top of the Men's, Under 21s and Under 18s 🤘

Thought Brighton played amazing again on the weekend. United look to be really struggling now.

Richy was well deserving of the Fans MotM. Spurs were unlucky not to get a penalty or two as well, played really well.
 
Had Chelsea down to draw on the Predictions - not surprised they're still struggling. Sterling was unlucky not to score the free kick though.

The players they've brought in aren't bad, the issue is probably more the fact that the team is completely made up of new signings and no one knows each other. Rather than re-building slowly they've just said 'fuck it' and brought an entirely new team.

I don't know why Harry Maguire didn't join West Ham. Think he would've done well there.
 
Tut-tut Phil, political opinion creeping out again 👀😂

And I agree having a good backbone in the squad is a good idea and will help when bringing in new players to help them adapt to the squad. However we have that, in good players like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, John Stones.

Players that shouldn't have been picked IMO:
 
Harry Maguire 
Connor Gallagher
Jordan Henderson
Kalvin Phillips
Eddie Nketiah

There's a left footer in the U21s, Donely, who I have high expectations for, hope he makes it.

Some nice one and two touch football here…
 
 

When you keep thinking in the back of your mind that Bellingham can't keep playing well in every game, he goes and destroys Italy. Loving Kane scoring from open play too 😄

We retired his shirt for a reason.....
 
We could genuinely be watching the next England legend and it's all due to his youth development, you're welcome 😉

I went last night and thought we played really well and dominated large parts of the match. Italy really look a shadow of their former selves and could miss out on a third tournament in 5 years. I remember us having a national meltdown after missing out on Euro 2008🤣
 
Bellingham is probably the best player in the world right now.

I don't know why Harry Maguire didn't join West Ham. Think he would've done well there.
