I've uninstalled 3-4 times, clearing out the leftover files in the folder each time. I've updated my drivers and repaired the C++ files. I've verified file integrity on Steam. And I still keep getting " EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" crashing the game before it even gets to the first turn.

It was working fine yesterday, so I'm pretty sure it was the latest windows update that fucked it up. But all I wanted to do with my day off was play a civ game, and that didn't work out.

So if anyone wants to give me the Eureka for the Computers technology and help me, I'd much appreciate it.

Edit: It's running now. Deleting save files might have done it, but I'm also playing in strategic view.

Basically the title.

Like imagine you live in an RV. That's your home, it should have a threshold. I'd imagine that there'd be a weakening effect since it's not rooted geographically.

But the power of magic comes from the sentiments, emotions and symbolism. If it's an RV that's been in your family for generations packed with all the love and metaphysical weight that goes with that, is there any reason it wouldn't have a threshold?

It's pretty widely discussed on the sub, and I believe there's a WoJ, that there's going to be a time travel book. Or that at least Harry will time travel.

Now time travel is hard. Vadderung tells Harry that there's a conservation principle Harry describes as conservation of history. This means that in theory, there are few limits on how much you can alter as long as you've got the juice to power it.

Now there's been discussion about what Harry will do with Demonreach. Some people talk about releasing them, some about using them to fuel a Darkhallow ritual.

I propose that Harry will use them to power his time magic. This will allow him to actually affect significant events. Given ho

Right now Harry has two kids. Maggie is the child of his body. Bonea is the child of his mind. It seems fitting to me that he have a either a child of his soul/will or a child of his magic. (Although there's probably a question as to whether or not there's even a difference there). That way each 'part' of who he is would have a child. It would also give us that magic number 3.

Part of me kind of wants to try and expand it to be something like the Children of Harry's Past, Present, and Future. But I think that's probably stretching it too far.

I also don't think the long term prognosis of mom #3 is very good, considering how moms #1 and #2 both die

I found myself wondering about this the other day. Beijing isn't a central location. There are other more populous regions.

And my understanding is that the CCP has a complicated relationship with Imperial history and often tries to distinguish itself from the old imperial system. So why did they not pick a 'new' capital? What was the decision process that made Beijing the choice, and were any other cities considered?
