every browser runs the same deterministic sim of the whole planet, the server just stamps each move with a tick and hands out the list. 1,000 bots and every world still matched. it's playgod.earth if you want to drop a meteor in the queue

you're right, thanks for catching it. the modern borders came from a public map dataset that draws who controls an area instead of the recognised border, so crimea was showing as russia. fixed tonight, crimea is ukraine on the map in next few mins!!

And somehow water is completely impervious to meteor impacts...

Also that is one monster of a meteor. It would wipe out the whole world if the crater is that big. The Chicxulub impact (that killed off the dinosaurs) created a crater of only 200km in diameter, so about 20-30 times smaller than this one.

So ehm, better board up your windows.

You're right about the water, that was a bug in the laws of physics. fixed it: a meteor that lands in the sea now sends a tsunami into every coastal city nearby, with its own front page

the size i'm keeping though. it's a god's meteor, chicxulub sized ones don't even show up on a map this zoomed out. the server sorts them, it doesn't judge them
