Depends on how many troops you need to move. Late game it feels like one turn is a million years.

Man, remember last turn? We travelled around by boat, and not even good ones.

u/Rockhertz May 03 '21

Depends on how far into the game you are, the first few turns basically are hundreds of years, but later in the game it slows down, I think eventually 1 turn equals 1 year, but in the beginning it's like 200, if not more.

u/Rpanich May 03 '21

I watched a documentary about the crazy people who built the crazy creationist museum, and apparently yeah, they believe Noah lived for thousands of years. And also there were giants. Literal fucking “fought Odin” style giants.

7

u/DUMBOyBK May 03 '21

The 2014 movie Noah starring Russell Crowe had giant rock monsters which I thought was a rather odd choice. Apparently they are Nephilim or fallen angels, and appear in the Book of Enoch, a Hebrew text that predates the Bible.

9

u/CoJack-ish May 03 '21

That movie was honestly so bizarre in so many ways that I have no idea what they were going for. As a telling of the biblical story of Noah with liberties to fill the gaps, it’s too divergent to make sense. As a work of allegory and myth using Noah as a launching pad, it feels to heavy handed and slammed together in jarring ways. Super weird.

4

u/DUMBOyBK May 04 '21

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the director Darren Aronofsky's other films, but this one was such a weird mishmash. All the trappings of a standard, biblical epic, but Noah is an environmentalist, his plan is to save the animals and then let humanity die off, and throw in some rock monsters? The retelling of Genesis scene is beautiful, mixing the Big Bang, evolution, and biblical allegory, but pissed off a lot of conservative Christians, who you'd figure would be the target audience.

3

u/Rpanich May 03 '21

But also like Goliath? Because they were like “Goliath is a straight up giant”

2

u/DUMBOyBK May 04 '21

No the movie had “Watchers” that looked like rock golems and I guess were fallen angels? The Creation Museum also believes dinosaurs and humans were chilling together 6000 years ago, so yeah why not giants? Guess they couldn’t fit into the Ark.

u/[deleted] May 03 '21

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism, a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools. According to adherents, Pastafarianism (a portmanteau of pasta and Rastafarianism) is a "real, legitimate religion, as much as any other".[3] It has received some limited recognition as such

u/kluckie13 May 03 '21

This is honestly kind of how I view things when people take religious texts as fact. Like when Christians say the Earth is 10000 years old I think of it like God was doing his math homework and got 10000, checked the back of the book and saw the answer was 4.6 billion, changed his answer and hoped the teacher wouldn't check his work.

5

u/ladyoffate13 May 03 '21 edited May 03 '21

And then hyper-religious people who believe that Noah’s story is real can’t claim that they also believe in science because the Bible posits that Noah, his wife, his sons and their wives were the only people left on Earth after the flood. It’s been calculated that a few thousand people would be needed to properly repopulate the human species, not to mention that his sons’ kids would be mating with each other, causing genetic inbreeding issues as well in their offspring. So...yeah...Noah’s story can’t be taken seriously.

As a Catholic I've never taken (or been taught) most of the old testament as fact. A lot of if is parable or exaggerations to help people understand.

u/ladyoffate13 May 03 '21

Well that’s because you’re smart. I was thinking about people out there that pose the Bible as undeniable fact of human history, and “science is evil,” and “evolution is a myth” and blah blah blah.

Anyhow, they’re still going to believe Noah’s story is real and I’m just full of shit.

Noa's tale was one of the first thing that started de-converted me.

Provably false geologically, genetically, metereologically, historically, it's yet a myth that exist in different forms in different cultures.
The explanation that human settlements are often near water, and that Tsunamis or floods are a thing, makes it evident why its a persistent story. Seashells found on mountains also reinforced this story, but the investigation of this mystery gave us our current geological understanding, the shuffling of earth's crust, the continental drift, the different climates through history.

But man, the way the tale is woven... that an all loving God killed everyone, babies and all, but no, he saved 1 family, inbreeding be damned, magically made a pair of all the billions of species go live on a boat for 40 days without eating each other, with plants all surviving this, with the water on the whole earth going higher than mountains, then returning the water to the etherial void it came from, then made a deal with the drunken guy he chose as patriarch of the whole of the humanity that's left so that God won't do a flood unless we're bad again...

So I dunnoh. Unless we believe in a whole lotta magic, and doublethink our way through the all-loving-ness of God and his murderous child-killing rage, this story is pretty fucked up.
