    I changed the topic title to DeArrow's video title suggestion. Let me know if that's better.

    Something felt really really off with this article. IMO, at many points throughout the author was getting dangerously close to The Bell Curve related scientific racism arguments, amongst other things... So I decided to look up them up:

    https://www.transgendermap.com/issues/topics/media/jack-despain-zhou/

    What the actual fuck, @skybrian!? Not only is this author a well known and prolific troll, but they're also incredibly vocally anti-trans, and are responsible for several major anti-trans and pro-life related hoaxes that have gone viral over the years. Where do you keep finding this shit?

    Ah, I didn't realize you could share control of units in battles. I guess I always assumed it played like Civilization co-op, in only controlling your own units yourself. That's actually pretty cool, and definitely makes it sound a lot more appealing.

    I hated settlement battles to the point I modded them out and later modded out sieges all together.

    I'm not a huge fan of them either. But that's been true of pretty much every Total War game for me, so they're the one thing I actually do auto-resolve if I can do so without losing too many troops.

    My favourite faction is HE, who are not as fun to play in TWW3

    Ew. Goodie two-shoes! ;) I almost always play the baddies, and Skaven are by far my fav faction.

    I took some really nice night sky shots I can share later... This video was the first time we took a 360 camera

    Ooh yes, please do share the pics when you get the chance. And I'm looking forward to seeing more of the 360 camera stuff too. I could already tell from the tree graveyard episode preview at the end that it has been put to good use! :P

    YouTubes algorithm can be unpredictable for smaller creators

    Yeah, it's really a shame since there are a lot of really great creators whose channels eventually die off because of that. One of my RL friends used to do Eurovision videos with his SO that were super entertaining, but they couldn't justify continuing to put all that effort into it since the channel never got past a few views per vid despite them doing it for several years. :( But 🤞for you two!!!
