Description: Long ago, many centuries after Mars had been fully Terraformed, Earth went dark on the same day all existing electronics on Mars stopped working. All ships not in orbit fell from the sky. Mars quickly descended into chaos as society collapsed, bringing on a new Dark Age. Most of the population succumbed to famine as governments broke down and nations fractured. Around 1000 years later humanity is recovering and has entered a new Medieval Era, largely forgetting the accurate history of humanity and the disaster. No one knows if Earth is still around and is thought of as more of a holy icon and legend. Some ideologies reject the concept or existence of Earth as we know it.

The goal of this thesis was to investigate ways to support the player in discovering their own emergent stories in grand strategy games.

  • Chinese Corporate Acquisitions in Sweden: a Survey Jerker Hellström, Oscar Almén, Johan Englund
    Chinese corporate acquisitions in Sweden: A survey Jerker Hellström, Oscar Almén, Johan Englund Main conclusions • This survey has resulted in the first comprehensive and openly accessible compilation of Chinese corporate acquisitions in Sweden. • The audit has identified 51 companies in Sweden in which Chinese (including Hong Kong) companies have acquired a majority ownership. In addition, the survey has identified another 14 minority acquisitions. • Zhejiang Geely’s acquisition of a minority stake in Swedish truck-maker AB Volvo was among the largest Chinese acquisitions completed in Europe and North America in 2018. • Through these acquisitions, Chinese investors have taken control of at least some one hundred subsidiaries. • Most of the identified acquisitions were made since 2014. The highest annual amount of acquisitions was recorded in 2017. • The majority of the acquired companies belong to the following five sectors: industrial products and machinery, health and biotechnology, information and communications technology (ICT), electronics, and the automotive industry. • For nearly half of the acquired companies, there is a correlation between their operations and the technology sectors highlighted in the “Made in China 2025” plan for China's national industrial development. The sectors included in the plan are of particular importance to the Chinese state. • This survey includes several companies that have not been identified as Chinese acquisitions in previous compilations of Chinese investments. • More than 1,000 companies have reported to Sweden’s Companies Registration Office that their beneficial owner is a citizen of either China or Hong Kong. For the majority of these companies, however, the Chinese ownership is not a result of an acquisition.

    EUROCENTRIC VALUES AT PLAY MODDING THE COLONIAL FROM THE INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVE RHETT LOBAN AND THOMAS APPERLEY Indigenous people and cultures are rarely included in digital games, and if they are it is often in a rather thoughtless manner. The indigenous peoples and cultures of many parts of the world have been portrayed in digital games in several ways that show little respect or understanding of the important issues these populations face. For example, in the Australian-made Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Electronic Arts, 2002), Australian Aboriginal people are completely absent, replaced by anthropomorphized indigenous animals some of whom wear traditional face paint, while the plot involves rescuing other animals from the “dreamtime.” So while a secularized white settler version of Aboriginal culture is a core part of the game, the people are absent. The controversial mobile game Survival Island 3: Australia Story (NIL Entertainment, 2015), was removed from the Google Play and Apple stores in January 2016, largely because of an online petition that was concerned the game encouraged violence against indigenous Australians. The game portrayed Aboriginal people as “savages” who contributed to the difficulty of surviving in the Australian outback. Other games have appropriated indigenous iconography and culture, like Mark of Kri (Sony Computer Entertainment, 2002) which used traditional Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) facial tattoo or Tā moko on characters in the game. These examples are disappointing, and seem to represent a common 1 occurrence in commercial non-indigenous media. However, there have also recently been a number of critically acclaimed commercial gaming projects which deal with indigenous culture and issues from an indigenous perspective, for example the game Never Alone/Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (E-Line Media, 2014), made by Upper One Games in partnership with 2 Alaska’s Cook Inlet Tribal Council.

    victoria 2 mods download Victoria 2 mods download. A mod for Victoria II with Heart of Darkness Expansion that continues the legacy of Divergences : An Alter Vicky mod created by Kinniken. According to the quantum theory, every decision made in the universe creates an alternative universe where all the following events take a different way. The first decision that diverged the timeline is called the Point of Divergence. In the Divergences mod there are PODs that are not bound to each other: The duke of Burgundy decides to continue his support for Plantagenets in the Hundred Years' War The personal union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden survives and evolves to a unitary state Isabella of Spain married a Portuguese prince, instead of Ferdinand II. The Chenghua Emperor does not stop Ming China's explorations, but decides to pursue them with greater zeal than before But that were not all the changes. The timeline began to diverge more and more and after 400 years the very world as we know it looks absolutely different. "Official canon" can be found here : https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/divergences-of-darkness-history-thread.823974/ In perpetual beta some might say but slowly advancing toward a polished version.

Unlike the broad open-ended stories that are availa- ble to you in Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron is a ruthlessly focused game. You are not shackled to history, but the game is about World War II and World War II will happen. Of course, the World War II you encounter in a game will bear only a passing resemblance to the one we know from history. Maybe Germany goes after the Soviet Union first, and maybe Italy decides to go its own way in 1938. But Hearts of Iron is still a game about war – preparing for war, researching war re- lated technologies, developing attack plans and then keeping that war machi- ne going until the issue is settled. To this end, Hearts of Iron has a much greater emphasis on military matters than political or economic matters.

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome
    Welcome to Europa Universalis IV: Third Rome hird Rome is the first “immersion pack” for Europa Universalis IV. Immersion packs are a new type of expansion for EU4, intended to bring T greater detail and historical customization to a particular region. For Third Rome, we have chosen to focus on Russia, one of the most popular starting regions for many of our players. Russia is big. It stretches from Lithuania in the West to the Pacific in the East, from the Baltic in the North to the Black Sea in the South. The story of how a princely backwater became one of the most important nations in the world is a colorful one, full of terror and triumph. Third Rome starts with a more detailed map of the Russian region and then adds new government types, new special Russian abilities, and revised idea groups that include a unique colonization mechanic that is better suited to Russia’s historic cross- ing of Siberia than the current Idea System. The title of the immersion pack comes from a letter written by a Russian monk to the Muscovite Grand Duke Vasili III. For this monk, Muscovy was the final bulwark of Christendom after the fall of Rome and Constantinople, so, naturally, the Orthodox Church plays a big part in this expansion. We have also introduced new government types for the princely states of Russia and the local merchant republics, as well as raising the Tsarist government to its own level, on par with other empires, but a thing with special powers of its own.
